Malgorzata Sidor

I went to see her several years ago and I explained my pain to her and she said she couldn't help me cause I couldn't exactly pinpoint what was wrong...I needed her to yell me what she thought it was after I explained my pain...would NEVER go back to her....she doesn't know what she is doing!!!

I was referred to this Dr because I was having low back pain and after going to the Chiropractor I had no relief. They did scans and found that I had degenerative disc disease. Dr Sidor said I needed to try medications before they would do injections. She prescribed Voltaren and I started to get hives. She then switched me to Mobic. All the while I have a kidney disorder that effects my heart. The pharmacy alerted me to the interactions this was having with my blood pressure meds. I called and talked to a nurse and she spoke to the dr and I was told to stop using everything and they would do the injections. Needless to say Dr Sidor did not do my injections because I found Dr Foster at WVU. I had my injections and they gave me stretching exercises to do and I have not had any problems 8 months after. Dr Sidor did me wrong in so many ways!!!

I have a flatten thoracic spine on left side. I also have numerous other things as well! In pain all the time. They have me on Naltrexone for pain. I ask what the restrictions are and she says no restrictions for work. Can't bend or hardly lift, legs giving out all the time. I ask her 4 times and call my neurosurgeon who talks with her. She still says no restrictions. I ask her what I'm suppose to do and she says make judgment calls. She feels I have somewhat of a thoracic spine left to put in a stimulator but I will not!

Skilled, personable

Not at all helpful..

I Personally Really Like Dr Sidor.When I needed Meds for Pain Before My Injections She was right on it.Very Frienly and Caring.

She is a wonderful physician, and I have never heard her discuss political issues. She is professional and courteous to her patients and fellow peers.

Tries to help, injections made a difference.

Very good

I never imagined I would get off these meds, my spinal stimulator does the trick. Thank you Dr. Sidor

None.she only cares about political points and not the patient.she said how other countries don't have pain releif options, well I don't care.im in the USA and she does not listen to the patient, what she thinks is all she hears.no patient concern at all.another new Dr trying to make a name for themselves no matter who they hurt.

She talks down to the patient, she doesn't care if you are in pain. She shouldn't be a pain management physician. Very degrading visit

Dr. Sidor is wonderful! I had a nuerostimulator in my spinal column that had cease to function and was put on iPods to tolerate the pain by a pain Dr in Md. I moved to Pa and found her. She was able to give me shots in my back that not only got me off of the iPods, but enabled me to have the nuerostimulator removed! She told me the shots could last a few weeks to a year that every patient was different. I am now going back to her to see about another round of injections. April will be 3 years se

I was at first impressed by Dr. Sidor until she dropped the ball, and I realized she does not communicate directly, she does not do her homework in terms of learning about her patient, she is narrow-minded, judgmental, and operates from a biased view on pain relief ... she is a gatekeeper and not a healer - if you are in pain, I'd suggest you avoid Dr. Sidor; she is insensitive, arrogant, hostile, and YOUR PAIN IS IRRELEVANT, for she is guided by political pressure and is NOT a people's doctor.

Very direct to the point approach I like that...... instead of long-term treatment

Because I am 23 I DO NOT want to be on chronic pain meds. However having pain lasting more then a few months it's need to be managed. I was hoping she could manage it and refer me to a specialist to fix the problem and viola- no more pain meds needed NOPE- first thing she comments on is my age and how I shouldn't need narcotics. Might as well go to childrens hospitals and tell them the same thing, things happen, medicine fixes it. Then she suspiciously asks me the same questions over and over trying to get me to slip up, sorry lady- the truth doesn't change. She lowers the dose that John Hopkins recommended (Dr. ego problems never fail to amuse me) The pain was NOT adequately managed and she wouldn't bump up the appointment. Fast forward to now. 4 days of puking (visible dilaudid pill in the emesis) Lost 12-15 lbs in 3 days. The fentanyl patch had been successful in managing my pain before (not that she'd ever prescribe the dose needed to me) and so I called the office (closed, left message -Sunday) Called on-call physician who ALSO recommended the fentanyl patch and told me to call them first thing Monday morning and to head to the ER for some IV fluids and pain meds. I did just just, Dehydrated they filled me with fluids and a few shots of dilaudid (my body is EXTREMELY tolerant to pain medication) and finally felt better, had nausea but better, my ER physician called the pain managements office and ALSO recommended the fentanyl patch. He told me to call first thing this morning and it'd be squared away, my pain would be managed and then the other issues can be fixed. I woke up, I called - no answer, figured they were busy and I left a message. 3 hours go by. I call again- ringing stops. A third call, rings 3-4 times then a busy signal. Finally a frustrated fourth call and ANOTHER message has to be left. I let them know its urgent (hence the ER faxing them notes and calling) I let them know it needs to be dealt with immediately before withdraw sets in (pills no longer stayed in my stomach) and to call me back. This was at 1PM. 3PM I call then on-call dept. and they say they will forward an urgent message to them to call me ( I should expect a call in 10 minutes) and 5:19PM rolls around. I call on-call dept yet again (any more urgent and I'd be dead) I was informed their office hadss CLOSED, they worked an entire day ignoring a patients possibly life threatening emergency, ER calls, ER faxes, 2 patient messages and an on-call urgency message IGNORED) All I have to say is if you aren't mangled ( I used to model so I don't "look" like I'm in pain) or if you have any pain, I recommend going anywhere but here. This place will let you rot before attempting to contact you for less than passable treatment. Because I am 23 I DO NOT want to be on chronic pain meds.
