Had a bad reaction after the initial dose of the meds he prescribed for acute sciatica, and had to wait two days to get a response from my phone call for an alternative medicine...in debilitating pain. He told the front office that I needed to get a script from my PCP for pain medication. Really? I didn't see my PCP for my sciatica, I saw Dr. Lessing! My PCP wasn't going to call in a script for pain without examining/ treating me first, and being the day before Christmas Eve, had no available appointments. When I called Dr. Lessing's office back at 2:30 in the afternoon to explain the situation, he had already left for the day. No regard for my well being, knowing I was in terrible pain to deal with over the Christmas holiday. Will never return to his office!
