CLOSED NOW - Closed

All he carried about was my weight. He never asked me about my pain. I had to speck up fast and tell him about it. tried to give me medication that my Family Dr. has always took care of and would tell me, that she didn't know what she was doing. I have type 2 Diabetes and he tried to treat me for it, and my blood pressure. He was against heavy set people. I wouldn't recommend my dog to him. I hated going there but it is so hard to find another Dr. Now that he closed, I'ts seems to be even harder. He is a bad Dr. He put down all of the Dr's I've seen in the past. Now what Dr. does that? Alot of other people fill the same way. So FIND a different and better Dr.

DR. Ira Derakshan should be given a medal for man of the year. I commend Dr. Derakshan for standing up for what he believes is right and believing in the oath he took to help people. Furthermore I am appauled at most of the Drs in WV for allowing their patients to suffer under the threat of buracracy.I know alot of chronic pain patients , even those dying with cancer that cant get any help. Its no wonder there are so many suicides, to ease their suffering.Most Drs load their patients down with acedemine(tylonol) based narcotics which damage the liver and kill the patient. One review said DR. Derakshan had to take a course in controlled substance.This is just plain harassment. For one thing a neurologist goes to college for more years than a regular MD and they take a one year course in internal medicine.So Im sure Dr. Derakshan knew more about the subject than they did. I look forward to shaking your hand some day DR and thanking you personally. Keep up the good fight. And as for the other review about the staff, well Im sure you all know , you cant please everyone all the time and theres some people you cant never please. I guess we just have to live with them.

Pretend this doctor has the bubonic plague and STAY AWAY FROM HIS OFFICE! He "pushes" narcotic drugs like they were candy. Check out his records at the West Virginia Board of Medicine at http://www.wvbom.wv.gov/List%20of%20Disciplinary%20Actions.pdf. AMONG OTHER DISPLINARY ACTION FROM OTHER STATES, in West Virginia he was required in 2005 to "Successfully complete and document completing a course in 'Controlled Substance Management'..." And in 2010 he had a public reprimand and fine. I can't understand why this man still has a license to practice medicine!
