Patient-25

Patient went to Dr. Reynold Rimoldi at Nevada Orthopedic for medical care for a work-related injury. Dr. Rimoldi was unprofessional and arrogant and ignored the patient's pain and made it very obvious who he is bought and paid by (the patient's employer).

Dr. Reynold Rimoldi deserves ZERO STARS.

Never have I gone to a doctor that was more unprofessional, arrogant, or incompassionate than Dr. Rimoldi.

I was assigned to go here as part of worker's comp, and he made it very obvious who he is bought and paid by.

The first thing he did was look at my file and point out that it was worker's comp. He asked where I worked and what I did there. That was it.

He didn't ask how I was injured or how I was feeling or what kind of pain I was having.

He looked at my MRI for 3-4 seconds, never even read the findings of the MRI which listed numerous issues that were found, and proclaimed:

"You're fine. I see nothing wrong with you and I'm stating you can return to work immediately without restrictions."

HUH??? I'm standing there in excruciating pain, needing to use crutches or a cane to get around, and he claims I'm fine?

When I tried to tell him about the pain I'm in, he immediately tried to shut me down, ignored me, and wouldn't listen to anything I was saying.

At one point, I even tried to bring up a previous back surgery from 10+ years ago, and he looked at the MRI again and tried to argue with me that I never had surgery before where I was claiming to of had surgery.

I have a large scar on my back, an overnight hospital stay, and 2 months of rehab that beg to differ.

Before he left the room, he looked at the crutch I was using because I almost collapse in pain at times and commented:

"Why do have that? You don't need it. There is nothing wrong with you," and he walked out.
