This doctor could not take care of my hamster. He runs a scam that you have to see his own psychiatrist. I guess my psychiatrist is not good enough. I ask him to help me regain my prescription after my doctor got retired during Covid of being on pain medication for over 20 years. If I agreed to his procedure in the office of him raking in over $260,000 from my medical insurance company. That he would help me write my medication. After looking into how bad this procedure was and that it had a 60% chance of making me crippled. I decided against it. So after another six visits or so. He kicks me out of the office on the fact that he says he is no longer taking Medicaid patients that are in pain. What a lowlife. The office is an absolute shambles I have pictures on my phone I am not sure I'm allowed to show them. But this is where you go and have procedures done. I'm not sure that this is sanitary enough to do certain procedures. The fact that I have to give this guy a star is killing me. He does not deserve anything. Also finding out from pharmacist across the Northern Kentucky region he is one of the doctors that prescribe more than almost any other pain doctor in the region. But it's a matter of meeting his criteria to B a patient to get meds... read more

I'd give it minus 5 stars if I could. First visit, you are met with "no weapons" signs on the doors. I wonder why? Office is dull, dingy, dimly lit and outdated. First thing nurse does is give you a cup. Says doctor will not see you without a urine test. You might be a drug seeker. They have your MRI, CTScan or Xrays but nonetheless, you're a possible drug addict. There is a oxy addict profile and I don't fit it. Doctor sits across the room from me looking at records and asking questions. No exam. Then the games begin. Lots of unnecessary repeat visits to rack up insurance and out of pocket $$$. See the Psychologist (3x)--- nice lady who is actually a MSW not a Psychologist answer a ton of stupid questions about your quality of life on paper, so she can get paid to put them into the computer. Meanwhile, I'm in agnozing constant pain and mostly bedridden living on ibuprofen and tylenol. What quality of life are they asking about? What's the question? Nurse Practioner (2x). She finally gives me small prescription until the pain relieving injection. It's been over a month bleeding $$$$ from my pocket and insurance company. She discovers I have a medicine allergy asks regular nurses (2 different ones) to contact allergy center. They both look right in her face and say "No". After each visit, you have to sit outside an office and wait to be called to pay. Finally, Injection day--requires you to bring a driver and get an IV. Got the injection. Wasn't numbed and No pain relief. Got sent for new CTSCAN and Xrays ($$$) like that's the problem. Go back. It's weeks later. Doctor (maybe he's a doctor) says I have a cyst in my spine as well as disc issues. He wants to search for the cyst and pop it (what?) at the injection visit tomorrow (in his office). Says I will need surgery eventually but at 230lb I'm too large for surgery (what???). BS. I've seen My 600lb life, those people get surgery. Next day, (a friend) waits in her car with son who will drive my car back. They came from work to do me a favor.) I get IV. Tell nurse I only want pain shot not to burst the cyst. Nurse comes back pulls out IV (I'm a hard stick to begin with). Tells me doctor says he aint gonna do the pain shot. Doctor comes in says "I'm sending you to my surgeon." I said "Yesterday, you said that wasn't an option." He says "Well, you won't let me pop the cyst!" I left. They were supposed to schedule surgeon. Never heard from them again. 2 months of constant visits for this and that. Long waits, some more than 2 hours. They even had me scheduled for physical therapy and a nutritionist. PT won't even work with my back problem. This place is a money grabbing joke and he's a quack! You'll be going forever with little to no relief. Meanwhile, still in bed. Missing work. A friend recommended another place. Beautiful facility. Thorough exam and Doctor went over all scans and xrays explained my back problem. No interest in hunting for and bursting a cyst. Said unlikely to find it and puncture it on a good day anyway. 2 weeks later saw his anesthesiologist. No drug test. No special reduction of any daily meds before the procedure. No IV. No driver. No MSW. No Nurse Practitioner. No Physical Therapist. No nutritionist. No surgeon. Got the injection. Immediate relief felt better just walking to the car to DRIVE myself home. Second injection a month later. Relief lasted 8 months no pain or medicine. Still doing great! Don't go to Advance Pain Management. All they MANAGE to do is take your time, money, self respect and leave you suffering. read more
