I have been under the care of Raju Mantena, DO for back and leg pain. He is very caring, empathetic, a good listener and over time we succeeded in finding a course of treatment that keeps me pain most of the time. Finding the specific spot for an periodic epidural anti-inflamatory shots was the key to my pain management. I saw Dr. Mantena at North American Partners in Pain Management, located at NorthShore LIJ's Syosset hospital. Drs. Stamatos and Rousseau I have seen when Dr. Mantena was unavailable for an office visit or even for an out-patient epidural shot and I would whole heartedly recommend them as well. Only one member of the practice, Dr. Kachejian, stands out as one of the few doctors I've ever dealt with that struck me as uncaring, lacking empathy, ridiculing me as a patient and his fellow pain management doctors in the practice. I saw him in January as Dr. Mantena was ill and he refused to speak with me in the examination he had me wait in for a half hour, but afforded me 15 seconds of his time in the public hallway during which he belittled and refused to perform a trigger point injection to relieve pain from a muscle in spasm - belittling it as bogus, useless procedure, despite being a treatment he specifically cites as part of his published and advertised holistic treatment plan for pain management. He also reduced my monthly pain medication by 20% without any conversation or explanation. I have no history with Dr. Kachejian but expected to be treated with the same respect and collaborative discussion and decision making as with my primary pain doctor but he either had some private reason that would explain the insulting mistreatment I received or he mistreats all his patients like this. Overall, Dr. Mantena, his practice and all partners I'd rate as excellent but based on my recent experience with Dr. Kechejian I would rate him as the absolute worst physician, of any discipline, that I've had the displeasure of being (mis) treated by in my life.
