Dr. Michael E. Shramowiat, MD - Pain Management in Vienna, West Virginia

“Dr Mike refuses dope seekers and absolutely plays by the rules. The bad reviews here must have a problem with that. If your pain is cooked up and not legitimate, he won't help you and will send you home empty handed. He also will call you in unexpectedly, count your pills, test your urine, check your medical history, past (and present) prescription history, and psychological history. Anything odd and you're cut off. He also will cut your meds back if your medical reports dont match your complaining. He will NOT play your games. However, if you have real chronic pain from a real medical condition, follows the rules, and have no problem abiding by the strict state policies, he's a godsend. He has helped me for years lead a productive life. I've never once had an issue with him or anyone in the building. Dr Mike is genuinely concerned with your well-being, is an excellent doctor, and goes beyond his call of duty. He will help you find specialists and solutions when primary care physicians wont. The rehabilitation clinic is excellent. With health insurance, my balance is always less than $20 a visit. The only downside is the waiting room wait can be long at times. Early AM appointments are best. Expect hour-long appointments and follow-ups every 30 days.”

“Got hit with a car when I was 12 and my back and hip has continually gotten worse over the years so. Ow at 52 it hurts a lot and I can't move like I should be able to. Dr Mike and staff has helped me more than I can explain and at least I can move without hurting as much. If you are just looking for a pill doctor your at the wrong place, he is a very caring doctor and for the most part the staff is also great. If they aren't then maybe they are just having a bad day as we all do.”

“I have seen this Doctor for years. They are professional, down to earth, and do the best they can to improve your quality of life without over prescribing. Bottom line; if your really hurt, these people help. If your not looking to improve your quality of life go somewhere else!!?”

“This Doctor has a very poor disposition. He is rude, unprofessional and has neglected his "Hippocratic Oath" to uphold specific ethical standards. Additionally, he is primarily concerned with cutting back on medications simply to comply with new federal 2018 regultions. He has no methodology to meet regulations, he simply tries to find any reason to discharge a patient regardless of their pain level to meet these reguations. He is believed to be an advocate of miscoding conditions to cheat insurance companies as well as medicare/medicade. His office staff are grossly unqualified and uncaring for the well being of patients in need of proper care. It is highly suggested that this facility be thuroughly investigated and shut down. This physician should have his license to practice revoked. He is part of a growing healthcare problem.”
