I had one procedure with Dr. Varley while my regular pain specialist was out of town for an extended amount of time, and he and his NP were awful. Claimed that there was nothing wrong, even suggested I needed pain pills when I did not ask for any pain meds!
I was a nurse, who was struck by a car just as I had stepped out onto the sidewalk while heading into work. The large, black car was driven by a little, old, retired doctor. He had hit another automobile and his airbag opened up, then he stomped the gas from what I was told. I was hit and was critically injured.
I used to work on an outpatient unit with this pain specialist and his NP and had seen how rude he could be. I know that there are times when a physician gets tired of "drug seekers, " and needs to protect himself from liability, however, when someone doesn't even ask for pain meds and is judged as being a pill seeking patient, it isn't right. If he doesn't review a patient's medical records or even assess a patient, then he is not practicing medicine to the extent of his education and so called expertise. It can be viewed as fraud by some. I will never recommend him to anyone.
