Specialty Orthopaedics: Ben Puckett, MD

Fillipo Chillemi is an incompetent diagnostician and his nurse is quite rude. The first time I went to Chillemi, he could not diagnose my condition properly ( a rib that was clearly protruding from my rib-cage) nor could he offer me the correct treatment ( I had to suggest that he prescribe me pt). Instead he gave me some back brace that was for lumbar support and costed $500 before insurance. The second time, I needed pain medication, and he prescribed me Tramadol, which can cause seizures in epileptic patients ( plot twist: he should have known that I had a seizure condition because it was on my medication list). If I had not looked up the medication before taking it he could have killed me. I called the clinic back after learning this and the nurse was accusatory towards me and implied that I was just trying to bum more pain pills off of Chillemi. This doctor is stupid to the point of being dangerous and I don't recommend you see him.
