Choquette Kenneth J DO - Pain Management in Allentown, Pennsylvania

“Dr. Choquette has no bedside manner. He was abrasive and aggressive and tried to bully me into taking opiods. He asked if I was ready to give up my current treatment plan and get on some real medicine. When I declined his tone became very unprofessional and he became very aggressive and accusatory, asking "why not, do you have an addiction problem? "Does your family have a history of addiction? When I responded no to both he then demanded to know what the problem was then for me not wanting to take opoids. When I continued to refuse he told me good luck enjoying my pain. One of the most unprofessional providers I have experienced.”

“I came in very sick and in alot of pain, after seeing a careless pain doctor,( dr wert) who knew nothing about lupus and basically thinking lupus meds should always control pain. Anyway, I was open and honest with choquette and he talked to me, listened to me and believed what I was saying. He might not show his sensitivity the outside but on the inside, hes a smart and compassionate. I thank Jesus that he put someone in my life, that takes me seriously and doesn't disregard how pain effects your activities and dreams. Dr choquette, during the months of babesiosis, lupus, and chiari you had to sign off on Phillips prescriptions. I want you to know that ON ALL those meds, I was still in pain. If it weren't for you doing that,(and especially Brian) I'm telling you.. I would NOT be here today. The pain was unbearable! The opioids saved my life. And I hope Brian gets this message!! I miss you both immensely! My lupus is getting treated heavily, which has helped. But for a while they were saying it wasn't lupus. And that's where phillips (and you)came in. At the time I thought it was never enough opioids, but there's been many days and nights that have been unbearable now, and destroyed events, journal entries in my bed that are too painful to read, because drs are too scared to prescribe them.And they're wrong since you both left. So for all the moments in my life that were memorable, it was because of you. My anniversaries!!. I can never thank you and Brian Phillips enough I didn't realize what I had at the time May godbless you and keep you”

“First off let me say I would give a negative rating if I could. After more then several years I've concluded that the "pain management" specially Dr choquette is after one thing and that's PROFITS! The last experience was the final straw. Dr choquette and his team performed a nerve burning or blocking that was 2 months ago. Maybe after a week I noticed something was not right ? This wasn't my first injection. I called the Dr with my concerns since the paper the discharge nurse gives you gives you a list of things to monitor . After seeing some of my issues I was experiencing on the list of concerns to monitor after the injection I was alarmed and contacted the office immediately. Few days later one of his team members contact me stating I should give it more time even though I mentioned the concerning issues. So I waited a month goes by still in extreme pain it's escalating I call the office only to be prescribed an anti inflammatory???? Even though a few months ago I was prescribed that same medicine for something else ? So where am I today well I'm worst then I feel worst then I've ever felt. I'm wearing a back brace which I haven't worn in 20 years I've been having issues with losing control of my urine. Haven't slept well forever . My family my work my personal life have all taken a sudden stop. All while the Dr gets to play golf, go on vacation enjoy his days without a carefree . Why because I signed a waiver ?? I'm left to try and piece my heath back together . Worse thing is there lack of concerns and help to get me to someone who would help me . Wouldn't even send a referral to see another dr . Guess playing God has not consequences. I'm making the public aware so that maybe they can save themselves some grief and pain. The next step is legal and filing complaints with the medical board . This wasn't the first alarming concern . Hope this helps someone . This hospital and practice needs to be audited ..”

“No bedside manners, extremely rude and took away opioid medications after being on them 9 years and replaced with Xanax which does nothing for pain! Letting me go through horrendous pain. Needs his license revoked immediately..also when he thought I was passed out he saying a lot of rude things about other staff members”
