Dr Michael Miu - Pain Specialist (Murdoch) — Local services in Murdoch

I have suffered quite severe chronic knee to feet pain for years. I had bilateral patella knee replacements in 2016 & 2017. They were great and still ok..... Years later I saw a rheumatologist who couldn't tell me why I had the terrible pain 24/7 in both legs from my knees to my feet. I thought no-one could ever help me..... I googled pain management and was amazed that I finally had some glimmer of hope to lessen or eradicate the constant pain I've been on very strong pain killers for years just so I could function. I met Dr Michael Miu at his Murdoch rooms. He was very understanding and easy approachable. I felt confident with him. Such a lovely, caring and professional Man... In 2023 I had needle procedures on both legs done a month or 2 apart. It didn't seem to help but Dr Michael told me there was one last procedure I could try. Anything to relieve the somewhat debilitating pain in my legs. This time he used Thermal needles with pulsing and an injection I was kind of shocked that something finally had eased my.pain. I told him at follow up the pain was around 70% BETTER which is HUGE . I couldn't be more grateful to him. As it is life changing. I still have issues but the difference this has made to my life is Amazing... I never thought anything would work, but I hoped and had confidence in my Dr. I had the right knee done again yesterday and the left one next month. Every 6 or ,12 months I will continue to have the procedure so I hopefully never have the severe pain come back as bad.... The Admin. ladies in Dr Mius consulting rooms are lovely and very helpful, Carly & Denise. They made everything easy. The anaesthetists always do a great job and I recover fine. Staff at the Surgicentre are always caring and friendly. I have no worries ever on admission. Just so so pleased and Grateful to Dr Miu... I Highly Recommend him to anyone in pain... Dr Michael Miu Really Can Make Miracles...

Essentially Ghosted me in the middle of Breast Cancer treatment. I'd been a patient for nearly 2 years when I started Chemotherapy. I requested changes to increasingly ineffective medications & Dr Miu advised we would manage changing them together. Then he stopped responding to my requests for any further appointments. No one else, Hospital staff included, would then treat me because he was still supposed to be my Pain Specialist. My long term GP had moved out of General Practice a few months prior so throughout months of Chemotherapy, Double Mastectomy & additional surgery my pre-existing pain was unmanaged & dismissed. The more I tried to get help elsewhere the more I was accused of mental illness or drug addiction because I couldn't prove pain severity, explain why my Pain Specialist was ignoring me & didn't have a regular GP to back me up. I gave up waiting for Dr Miu to respond & another Specialist finally became available some months later. Which is roughly when I received an automated text reminder for a 6 month review appt with Dr Miu. Dealing with him sickened me to my core but I was desperate for his help, held my tongue & just requested another Hail Mary Epidural. During procedure I couldn't even bring myself to look at his face, I don't think he even noticed. This man nearly cost me my life through total disregard and should not be allowed near another patient. Go anywhere else, even if he helps initially he can not be trusted not to disappear without explanation &, in doing so, actually prevent you from being able to get help elsewhere, leaving you totally powerless to do anything about pain so severe you can barely sit up let alone stand. He is...

He's polite in conversations and the receptionist is incredible, but I stayed in hospital for several nights under his care and I still can't forget the torture I endured. I have severe abdominal pain (largely hormonal) and decided to do a ketamine infusion at the earliest chance, so went to Murdoch. Arrived, suddenly was told I had to take off ¼ of my bup patch because it'd be 'too risky' otherwise (never heard of this before) but I was so desperate to escape the constant 6-9/10 pain I was in, I agreed. He said the ketamine infusion would cover it, it barely did, I was sweaty and uncomfortable, but I began to develop a massive stabbing headache and had to cut off the ketamine. I'd specifically told him, that day, to remember to add back the ¼ patch on my med sheet – he had it right in front of him. He wrote nothing down! So, I endured hell from the pain in my abdomen, my head and now, withdrawal. Overnight. They 'couldn't reach him' at 9 pm and no other doctor wanted to give me any opiates. I was tortured. I wanted to die. I will never forget the trauma I went through, all my life. I am in even more pain now, a year on. It's not my fault my body only responds to opiates. But they make it your fault, you're just a 'risk' to some doctors. Don't see him if you need opiates over 20mcg bup (I was on 40mcg), he took me on but I realise he was only interested in reducing his anxiety around my dose, not my...
