Much like a mechanic guessing why your car won't start and just changing you battery, your alternator, doing a radiator flush hoping they fix the problem. All the while you car still doesn't start and they want you to keep taking the day off of work to tow your car to the shop for the next round of guesswork. Oh, and then the mechanic is late for the appointment 80% of the time. And for a $500 followup they don't even examine your back... they just say "well that didn't work, but this will. " and schedule another procedure. Complete waste of money. They should refund the money for useless procedures.

DO NOT GO HERE! I am a chronically ill patient and I have…read moreseen so many doctors across multiple Statelines. I've seen all types. But I have NEVER been treated this badly in the 12 years of being a patient. Every doctor I saw wouldn't look me in the eye. They suggested P.T. when I was living with high pain everyday and didnt seem to believe me or listen to me. It was like talking to a brick wall. Every time I tried to reschedule an appointment I could never get ahold of the office staff. Calling multiple times a day, days or even a week before an appointment. They gave me meds that have long term terrible side affects that I wasnt aware of. Went to a pain clinic in Omaha and it was night and day, everything that the Pain institute was prescribing medication wise my new doctors hated cause it can cause kidney and liver issues over long term! I already have kidney concerns. They gave me injections that made things worse and there was zero empathy. The care there was beyond deplorable. The hour drive to Omaha is worth every second because now I actually am more pain free! I'm starting to live my life again, no thanks to the pain institute.

They look stressed and are constantly apologizing to patients. The doctors are great, I've seen Johnson and cook and they are A plus plus. The nurses and MAs are okay. The MA"s need to learn a bit more pharmacology, one of them told me Cymbalta was like ibuprofen? No it's not. I was already taking 2 types of SSRI's and for her to tell me that could have been dangerous. I could have gotten very sick. I always wait for my appointment to go in with any complaints/exasperations/changes because they are terrible about calling back/coming up with a solution, (that's how the one MA told me Cymbalta is form of ibuprofen...) and it's very annoying if you have new pain or a medical question. Expect to wait for your appointment, but that is typical with any Drs these days. They are always busy, which to me means they are good. However, it's annoying going in for a 9 AM appointment and not getting in until 10, they tell you to come early for a reason people. I have noticed staff turn over is high. Which isn't a good sign (to me personally) and some of the staff seem to be kind of jerky, cut you off, don't listen, don't let you explain, rude to my spouse. Most of the newbies are very nice, like the guy up there who I think he's a MA. They have a excellent relationship with Horizon Spine, who are very very good at their jobs. One other thing is that nobody is ever on call. I've been to the ER 3x in the past few years, and nobody can get ahold of a on call??? It's strange.

Please for the love of your own life disregard my positive review of the pill mill known as Midwest…read morePain Clinics. When I wrote that I was high as a kite on 30mg Roxicodone (4x a day) and Fentanyl patches. No..:I'm not a cancer patient. I'm a chronic pain patient who went to this clinic after having moved back to Omaha to care for my elderly father after my mother passed away. I actually went to my appointment 3hrs after mom's funeral. When I went in I simply wanted to find a local provider who could continue the care I had been receiving back home. My previous treatments included cortisone shots and 5mg of 5/325 Percocet 2x a day. I had been on that protocol for over 8 years when I visited Midwest Pain Clinics. The doctor (Richard Hubbel M.D.) said "you're gonna be feeling better than you ever have in your life after you leave here" after telling Me there's no way my previous "weak" medication could still be working for me....even though it was perfectly. Well fast forward five years and I am now on methadone at a methadone clinic that I have to visit almost every day. The physical damage the meds this doc gave me did is unreal. I have never been an addict to anything but in a short few months Midwest Pain Clinics turned me into a regular junkie. When confronted about this they took the most bizarre routes possible. Dr Hubbel quickly existed the practice (moving back East to do anesthesiology). It was interesting to learn that Dr. Hubbel had his own incredibly severe opioid problem as well. When he came to Omaha he had his license revoked in another jurisdiction and was on probation. Why? Well after ODing himself in the hospital after surgery on Dilaudid, he did the same at his own home. Responding paramedics found nearly 180 empty ampules of dilaudid scattered around his bedroom. It is sickening to know that Midwest Pain hired an IV opioid addict to prescribe opioid medications. My life is forever altered. I want nothing more than to be done with opioids but without my methadone treatment I am violently And life threateningly Ill. I was steered to methadone because it was the only way I could achieve some normalcy in my life. Please do your homework and don't let these people railroad you into hardcore meds supplied by their "conveniently" located on site pharmacy. The only good thing I can say is good riddance to Dr Hubbel. Thank the lord that he left that clinic and won't hurt any more of their patients.

Now I have had three surgeries but I feel it didn't work either. But I won't know until I see the Dr. again, but my appt. was canceled. Now I have to wait again. Maybe they need more Doctors on call, they tell me these are appts. are in surrounding towns. and these Drs. are on call. I have had three surgeries already. The second one wasn't done on the date we were planning on because they worked on something else that also had to be done first. But now the third surgery that I had late doesn't look any different. Now I am in pain more offen than before.

The staff are very nice and let her speak for herself without any type of reserve or anything like that, so that was great. The check in process was a bit arduous and I felt like I had to repeat my answers, basically and triplicate so that was a bit annoying but the staff was very friendly and assured me that it would allow The doctors examination to go more smoothly. Once we were all checked in, there was almost no way, and after a quick examination by one of the nurses, we then were taking off to the in-house x-ray. The room we were seen and was brand new with very impressive equipment as her father I was allowed to attend the x-ray, and they made sure that we were both safe and process us very quickly. Once we got back to the room, we saw the doctor, and what was great that he was able to explain things and show things to my daughter and language that she was unable to understand. What I really appreciated was that he then also explain things in a more advanced and higher level for me to understand what was going on the best course for treatment and recommendations for how to stabilize her foot and get her back to normal faster. Overall was very impressed with this visit. Beautiful office nice staff and wonderful doctors. I would highly recommend this for anybody who needs urgent care for orthopedic problems.

The scan revealed aseptic loosening in both replacements, with the last knee replaced already showing signs of rotating.
