I am with some of the above commenters. I agree that Dr Sackheim is genuinely nice and genuinely cares about her patients(I didn't get the vibe that all she was interested in was shaking every dime loose from you). But like some of the others said, she wasn't the doctor for me. I have had injections before and after my latest injection hospitalized me for a week I decided I've had it with the injections. Sorry but I had a bad reaction and wasn't willing to risk it again especially since the injection did NOT provide me with pain relief. Dr Sackheim was adament on giving me injections when I was adament that no doctor would ever stick a needle in my back/neck again.
Then when we decided that medications were something I needed, she too prescribed me a low dose of morphine just to be taken twice a day. It just wasn't a good fit for me. Two low dose morphine tabs a day does not a pain management plan make(for me). The morphine did nothing(maybe at a higher dose with a higher dosing frequency..I mean 1 tab every 12 hours? Are you kidding me? it wore off in 4 hours)! She was not willing to be flexible in her prescribing practices so I had to say goodbye. If you only need a low dose for your pain management then I recommend her as she is a sweetheart and really does seem to care.

First off no cops every came, Second Im unsure how you point out my story doesnt add up? I was given 10 stacks of paper to fill out ( Like a normal DR's office) But the second i signed the first piece i was rushed in. The first one says how they do not prescribe opiates on the first visit. I admit i didn't read it because i was a little late for my appointment and they were rushing me to finish and i felt bad for being late, I didn't even have time to get up to an allergy/family history section within the stack of papers. All they cared about was me paying $350 cash and my signature on that forum so she could sit down with me and tell me she cant treat me. Why not tell me this before charging a patient? AFTER SHE ALREADY KNEW MY FULL HISTORY AND SPOKE TO MY DOCTOR. I'M NOT MAD I WAS NOT TREATED, I'AM MAD I PAID A LOT OF MONEY AND DROVE 1.5 HOURS EACH WAY TO BE RIPPED OFF WITHOUT ANY SORT OF COMPASSION. I WAS TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOUR WAYS. IM SICK OF DR'S LIKE YOU TAKING ADVANTAGE AND NOW I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR MORE PLACES TO POST MY STORY AS SOON AS IM DONE WITH THIS ONE.
If a client of her's wrote this why in gods green earth would they ask what medicine i was on when i wrote this long report? When i already said OPIATE PAIN MEDICINE. Sorry but honestly that one gave it away that this is no patient but infact the good doctor Kimberly Sackheim herself !!! LOL good one DOC. I also like the rehab bla bla bla crackhead bla bla bla stuff. Another thing i like is how you made my vitals reviews vanish into thin air and replaced them with good reviews, all fake except maybie the one or two true comments left, let me copy and paste those for the record ( NOTICE SHE RESPONDS ON EACH NEGATIVE ONE WITH THAT NEED TO EXPLAIN HERSELF, IT'S FUNNY HOW THERE ARE NO COMMENTS LEFT TO ALL THE PATIENTS WHO SAID THEY LOVE YOU, WHAT DR DOES THAT ? I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I'm willing to bet my last few dollars to doughnuts this aint no patient leaving a rebuttal. The day i left your office and you refused to come out for the second time to talk to me like a child i told your staff i would share my story online so no one else gets ripped off, and the more you try to cover it up the more i will AIR THE TRUTH. You stole from the wrong person. Send me my money back and i will delete !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COMMENTS:
She is a VERY nice doctor with a very good bedside manner. She just wasn't able to meet my needs. She was so adamant on giving me injections for a back and shoulder injury when I told her I had several to no avail. Apparently she thought HER needles filled with the same medication I had time and time again would work. I told her I was interested in medication management and maybe a spinal cord stimulator. She dismissed the stimulator and decided to "medically manage" me. I put that in quotes because I got a script for morphine where I could only take two at max a day as well as a script for mobic and a muscle relaxant that my insurance didn't cover and didn't even work! Her efforts were noble and she is one of the nicest doctors around..she seems like she genuinely cares about you. Like I said she doesn't meet my needs, I need more aggressive treatment.
Thank you for realizing how much Dr. Sackheim cares about your health. If a patient has tried injections with one pain physician and had no relief, it does not mean an injection from a different physician will not help. Dr. Sackheim has had many patients coming from other pain doctors and these patients did extremely well with her injections. We wish you would have given her the opportunity to help you fully. Sometimes, it takes time to find the right medication doses and the right injection for each patient.
Yes I was a patient at the seaport medical clinic and seen her a only a handful of times. If you like me have been on any opiate base medicine for a while after an injury takes your life away you will have built up a tolerance. This is not the Dr to see to handle those cases. She will agree via phone or email so ask!. She is a DR who fells her injections and two somewhat tablets of a low mg morphine base pain pill will make you pain free. It just does not work that way for everyone, God knows i wish it did. This is not a review to steer people away, Its a truthful review from a patient of hers. If you can take a few tabs a day and be pain free god bless you, you just found your doctor! If not keep looking NYC has many caring pain doctors who understand what a tolerance means and the difference from someone who doesn't need medication to someone who needs higher levels and there pain pill of choice that's worked over personal trial and error in there shoes cause after all you are the one taking this medicine and only you know the drugs that work. God Bless
Dr. Sackheim treats each patient individually. If she feels she can help your pain without high doses of opiates, she will try her hardest to do so. She has had amazing results with injections in most patients. She has varying patients, some on no medications and some on high doses of medications. She only prescribes high doses of pain medications when absolutely necessary and when she is comfortable doing so. We wish you would have given her more time to work with you to establish the proper dose.
Doctor Reviews and Ratings
LOOKS HERE TO BE MORE FAKE COMMENT'S, ALONG WITH THE 7 OTHERS THAT JUST APEARED IN 2 MONTHS. I know good solid doctors and they have 2 comments and have over 1000 patients and been open 20 years.... but she must be very popular at $350 a visit that barely takes any insurance. I guess everyone is flocking there to her brand new office open all of 4 months for trigger point injections, because her shots are so much better then other doctors same exact shots lol... This women even drives 5 hours to her hehe
Dr. Sackheim is the best! I travel round trip 5 hrs. for a pain management visit because I feel Dr. Sackheim gives the best quality care, giving you the best options for your situation. She has done far more for me than other doctors I have seen.

After reading this ripoff report I can honestly say it was the most upsetting thing to read about one of the best doctors I've ever seen and currently seeing. First off if you go to any pain management doctor, they all have there own policies especailly when they are perscribing narcotics. Its unfortinute you had to write this long Myth because your story doesn't add up, you state that you were given forms and then rushed in to be seen before the paper work was done, so im guessing she was going to be a mind reader and figure out what you are allergic too??? as well as what your coming in for. You also state you had pain for 8 years!!!! Really dude no surgerys?? I find that really strange, Your nothing more then a crackhead who had 350 dollars to get some really good stuff, she caught on to you dude and that fact that a wonderful doctor like herself had to have the police be involved is horrible. Yes she probably is 3 years in, I've been seeing her since seaport and she has helped me to the point were I don't need surgery and I owe it all to herr, she has been great, she will also be seeing my wife soon for her Endometeriosis which is one of the most painful things to live with, (women please read about it). I dont support you or this phony ripoff report its because of you there are many strict pain managment doctors. You should thank her for not giving you the meds and you should also look into rehab. I hope you understand that what your doing is wrong and the fact that you are trying to destroy her reputation is really low. My question is what drug were you on when you wrote this long report ??? Buddy get your facts straight. I give you a year and no one will remember this post, as you stated its only a matter of time! Lol
"There was no other patients in there the whole 2 hours i spent there" -LIES- Because it took you a month to get an appointment, maybe she was book all the way up until the two hours you spent there. Shes always booked even where she does procedures at her other location, I would state were its at but your probably would stalk her.
Good Luck
QAUCK!
