Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Uncaring, hostile and rude
She is always in a hurry to get out of the room. Has never spent more than 5 minutes in the exam room. Doesn’t want you to ask questions. If yo do get to squeeze in a question, she gets ill and defensive. Doesn’t seem to care about my pain, just wants to get rid of you as quickly as possible. I would go somewhere else if it didn’t mean having to start all over. The last time I saw her she spent exactly 3 minutes in the room. She also doesn’t respond to my questions on mychart.

No value to visit
I was asked to arrive 30 minutes prior to appointmnet. I had to wait for an additional 50 minutes before Dr. Mullinax came in. For me it was a loss of 1 hour and 20 minutes. She did not seem to be interested, was condescending and distant. No plan was explained. The visit did not have any value to me.

I definitely would not recommend Dr. Mullinax. I don’t take pain meds so that isn’t why. She gets angry if you ask her about long term treatment plans. My first visit was just ok. After visiting again after the injection which only helped about 50%, she wanted to give me another one. When I asked her to explain the reason why she thought a second injection would help, she got very angry with me. I felt humiliated by her behavior. I left her office in tears! I will not see her again. I called the referring Doctor and they told me a lot of their patients have complained to them about her bedside manner being bad. They referred me to another Doctor not associated with Prisma. Wish I would have read her reviews before my first visit.

I am still in pain 3 years later and when I complained about the poor care I was sent a letter that I was "fired" as a patient. She only wanted to send me somewhere else. I was just too complicated, I guess. Brachial plexus injury is extremely painful. Worthless and uncaring people.

If you are 10min late for an appointment, expect a $75 bill in the mail. I have been living with chronic pain for 10 years and she treats me zero respect.

Kind, Caring and Competent Two years ago I was seen by Dr. Mullinax for a epidural steroid injection to help control pain in my neck. This year my old injury in my lower back has put me on my back unable to walk for 6 weeks. No longer able to handle the crippling pain I called Dr. Mullinax. The staff was great! and I was seen and treated fast. I found the doctor and staff to be very intelligent and well informed. Both made me feel very relaxed and comfortable.

I was transferred to Dr. Mullinax from another excellent doctor who had retired. I was seeing him for chronic back and hip pain. From the first visit with Mullinax I had the feeling of no connection. She was very confrontational and no empathy what so ever. She was only interested in the back issue which she said was really not very bad!! I've had surgery on it once and have another cyst causing pain. I definitely would not recommend her to my worst enemy.

Absolutely horrible doctors office. I was referred here for pain management however Dr Mullinax does not care about her patients whatsoever and treats you like just another number. I was not given any pain management assistance whatsoever. Dr Mullinax insisted on repeating physical therapy and refused to prescribe any medications whatsoever or injections for my severe and chronic pain which was verified via problems with an MRI nerve conduction study and x-rays. Do not go here they do not care a

I waited 4 months for an appt, only to be treated like a drug addict. I am way beyond appalled at the treatment, or lack thereof that I received. I signed a contract & they told me they would prescribe something temporarily. Then I had to do a drug test. I was unable to give more than a thimble full of urine, so they refused to prescribe anything. Since I had signed their contract, of which I never received a copy, my primary care doc was unable to prescribe anything.

physician was very incompetent with her care. She was the only physician I could see and I wouldn't have changed from my previous physician but she moved. With an obvious diagnosis based on MRI and previous medical history she didn't have to do her own diagnosing. She only wanted to provide oral medicine despite my desires to continue with other methods ,my previous injections, to prevent having to take medication. The next week I was told by a neurosurgeon I needed surgery and an injection.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Mullinax to anyone! She lacks in people skills! I only saw her twice and that was two times too many! She wasted my time thereby inhibiting my continuity of care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mullinax for quite awhile. She is very professional. Always very concise in her explanations and definitions and communications. It is very important in life to have a reliable doctor when dealing with important medical issues.
