For those of us who live with chronic pain, going to a pain doctor can be very stressful, and I've…read morehad plenty of doctors I've dreaded visiting because I felt they didn't really believe me or thought I was exaggerating, or they went the "maybe you're depressed" route, etc. When we moved to Georgia, I was quite concerned about visiting a new doctor, but God sent me here and I'm so grateful for their entire team. Dr. Thomas genuinely cares about people and he understands pain. From all the PAs to the desk staff, I have never once seen them be unkind or uncaring to any patient. I've always been believed; I've had questions answered and suggestions given. They've helped with decisions such as whether surgery would end up being necessary, and what I could try before that. They are a great group and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I served in the 75th Ranger Regiment and US Army Special Forces for a long time and now my body is paying for it. Dr. Ashford in the 3rd pain management doctor I have seen in the last 4 years in this area. He has been the most attentive doctor I have ever seen in Georgia. He takes time to get to know you and applies all possible means to help alleviate your pain. It took me time to find a doctor that actually spent the time with me and solved my problems. I also have a genetic condition that causes my liver to reject a lot of medications, including a lot of pain medications. He has been able to get me on medications that have helped tremendously and has begun to give my life back to me. I highly recommend him and his staff. His practice it beginning to explode as many people have found this out as I have. At times there can be a wait but you have to remember the first time you saw him others may have had to wait a little longer also. He does this for everyone, so be patient as he will get to you as soon as he can. There are doctors around that got a license to practice pain management but are not anesthesiologist. If they were a good doctor to begin with they would not have the time or need to get into this field. They are out for the money only. Dr Ashford is an anesthesiologist and will not quit until he finds the best solution he can but you have to be honest about the meds or procedures if they work or not. That way he can and will continue to do his best to help you. With nearly 20 years of pain management care, the one thing I have found out is that you can't give up in trying to get yourself better. It take time and effort.
