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.

When I followed up as to why no one told me about the mania being a side effect, I was told "we don't have a blanket rule for bipolar individuals" so they are purposefully NOT telling their patients.

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.

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.

No further diagnostic testing done except X-rays. Dr. finally recommended he numb the major nerves in both knees, recommended for patients who were "unhappy with their replacements." Wishing one final second opinion outside Lincoln went to Dr. Kevin Garvin at UNMC who ordered additional xrays and a nuclear bone scan. The scan revealed aseptic loosening in both replacements, with the last knee replaced already showing signs of rotating. I have undergone two total knee revisions since his finding, replacing the discs with ones with spikes attached that descend into the tibia. The revisions take longer to heal and are more painful. Please seek a second opinion if you aren't progressing but failing and someone is recommending you deaden the nerves running through your knees.
