Concentra Medical Centers

If you go to Concentra, see if you can get in with any doctor other than Dr. Orgel. Perhaps your experience will be better than the waste of time I had. First of all, Dr. Orgel acted like he didn’t believe me when I came in with a work-​related back injury. Then they gave me x-​ray after x-​ray, until they couldn’t give me any more x-​rays due to radiation concerns, because they couldn’t get a good image with their old machine. Later I learned that if they had just asked me to come back in a week, they could have given me just one x-​ray with their new digital machine. The physical therapist, Kevin Riedel, is good, but what really alleviated my pain was massage. I had to pay for that out-​of-​pocket because apparently Dr. Orgel doesn’t believe in «that sort of thing,» as he put it.
Concentra’s new facility next to Sports Authority is very fancy and they are trying hard to be really customer-​friendly and inviting… except for Dr. Orgel, who apparently thinks he knows a person’s pain better than they do.
