After waiting for three hours in the waiting room, I was finally taken back to a smaller room.  While waiting in this room I could overhear Dr. Paez speaking to a coworker, he said, verbatim 'my time is precious, I will bill them or if I can't I will bill their insurance company.'  He said all of this in a serious, irritating voice.  Finally, the doctor entered the room, I had just broken two bones in my foot, and was in a wheelchair.  He approached me, without introduction, and rudely began interogating me, that is asking me question after question about all other medications I was on.  If that wasn't bad enough, this pompous jerk asked me to submit a urine specimin before prescribing me any medicine.  I was appalled, and left the office never to return.  I have been to myriad doctors, because I have a nerve disorder, but never have I encountered one with such a horrible bedside manner.  This doctor has no business practicing medicine, or engaging with other human beings on any level.  I am a somewhat shy, sweet natured person; It is seldom that anyone angers me.  I do hate that the insurance companies have these doctors so scared that they seemingly cannot do their jobs, but If I could I would sue this so called 'professional' and make sure he never practices medicine again.  If you are reading this, please find a different doctor, any other pain specialist/anastesiologist.  This guy's ego is larger than his capacity to treat patients with any respect at all.  Dr. Julio Paez of the South Lake Pain Institute should no longer practice medicine in this lifetime!
