Made me wait 40 min to be seen for exam related to car crash. When I asked why I was made to wait so long, he initiated a fight and began verbally abusive behavior that continued into the exam room. It got so bad that I set audio to record & hid it under my jacket. He did a phony exam (which I called him on, right there in the exam room), did not even check my neck, which was my injury. I got the denial I expected in retaliation. Good thing i have the recording.

My auto insurance carrier scheduled me for a “chiropractic independent physical exam” with Dr Michael Dudick DC to take place on Friday August 26 2016. This exam is part of the review process necessary to continue coverage as stipulated by my auto insurance policy with State Farm. I understand the primary purpose is fraud prevention and is certainly appropriate. As I suffer from (severe) hyperocusis, a hearing disability , whereby everyday noises appear loud and quite painful. The State Farm representative I spoke with suggested I call Dr Dudick’s office and request the necessary accommodations. I wear both noise cancelling ear buds and headphones to minimize painful inputs.

I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment. Dr Dudick arrived late. As suggested by State Farm’s customer service rep I let Dr. Dudick’s office know in advance about my affliction and necessary accommodations and also to follow up with Dr. Dudick at the time of the appointment. What followed is what nightmares are made of. Dr Dudick was extra loud and obnoxious . He jerked me several times to position me for different parts of the exam. He thumped my headset demanding I take it off which caused a loud and painful “clack” reverberateing in my ears. After an exam consisting of twisting and bullying I had to seek out my chiropractor for relief twice as of this writing. What should have been a routine appointment became something cruel, unprofessional and unacceptable.

I have contacted State Farm Customer Service to report these abuses and have also contacted my agent. Both were horrified. As was I.
