Justin Wikle, MD - Pain Management in Coralville, Iowa

“If it weren't for Dr Wickle, I don't know where I'd be. I was injured in school district, and faught to be able to get neck relief, since I was badly injured. I could not even turn my head. My good friend Barb told me about him, so after YeArS, I went. He did a specific spinal to neck injection, and it was like- my life was totally different. I had to repeat it,and just kept getting better. I can't thank you enough. And now, I find he's no longer there. That's disappointing! It took me 10 yrs to find him!”

“If I could give Justin Wikle 0 stars I would. I went in as a 19 y/o that had been dealing with moderate to severe low back pain for 3 years. After trying many rounds of physical therapy and medications, I was sent to Justin. He came into the room and immediately was confused why I was there. He would ask things like "who referred you?" and "if you were at sports medicine, why would you come over here?", as if he didn't care to read any of the previous Doctors notes. He then proceeded to tell me, that even though the mri came back with MULTIPLE factors that were causing this pain including: 5 bulging discs, slipped vertebrae, facet anthropathy, and many many more, he concluded that I quote was " just uncomfortable and wasn't in any real pain". He then proceeded to say on my mychart notes that it had something to do with my history of mild anxiety that was causing me to have this pain. Then when I went in for my injection, he did not speak or say anything to me. Would rather do anything than recommend this Doctor.”

“Let's start at the beginning. This doctor thinks a patient who has broken 5 vertebrae in their back and has severe degenerative disc disease in their neck should take cymbalta or Lyrica. And if neither of these is a good fit, although the patient has clearly been a responsible patient and very conservative when it comes to narcotics, ie oxycodone or lortab, this doctor told me "You better hang onto the pills you have because you're not getting anymore." I tried to tell this doctor that people who need pain medicine might die from fentanyl because they bought it from an untrustworthy source. This doctor couldn't care less about people dying from fentanyl overdose. I asked him if I'm supposed to be in pain on a scale of 1-10 at an 8 while narcotics sit on the shelf of a pharmacy and he said "The world is full of pain." Wow! Sadistic bully! So I told him I'm disabled and I am asking for a reasonable accommodation according to the ADA. He said he was not going to grant a reasonable accommodation. So I told him that he has to enter the interactive process. He said he was not going to. So I informed him that I would be considering a federal civil rights lawsuit against him for disability discrimination. He smirked at me and told me we were done and opened the door for me to leave. People are dying, committing suicide and taking fentanyl laced pills because of doctors like this man who thinks it's ok to deny pain meds for people with chronic pain that makes it impossible to work or socialize or live their lives. Pain is supposed to just be part of life and if your life is unbearable oh well too bad so sad. Some people get pain meds no problem. And others of us especially lower socio economic class just has to suffer. We'll see what the local federal district court thinks about that. I intend to file a federal lawsuit to hold him accountable. This is not patient care. It's cookie cutter, assembly line, conveyor belt medicine. One size or drug fits all. That's corporate medicine not individualized patient care. You and I deserve better.”
