    Dr Zipperer been my doctor for pain management since April. I have been through many specialists…read morebut he is the first I've come across that listens and advises you and truly hears your concerns, your fears and also the problems in your day-to-day life.

Also a Shout Out to his wonderful support staff especially Kaleigha for her patience and going the extra mile.

    The office is shady. They rely on telemedicine and communication between each other within the…read moreorganization leaves something to be desired. I started on 3mg suboxone, and my first two days I experienced extreme itchiness. So, they switched me to 2mg subutex. I've been on that same dose for a few weeks. During my last appointment, I spoke with my provider that day via telemedicine. He wasn't my normal provider. Anyway, I explained that I am still experiencing strong cravings, intent to relapse, and drug seeking behavior. The provider said that 2mg is a very small dose and rose the dose to 8mg a day. I waited the 24 hours they require before calling the office back. The front desk prep said that I still had 10 2mg pills and to simply take 4 pills. Of course, she isn't my provider and I wasn't going to take the prescription in a manner that is contrary to what the instructions are. Turns out they weren't intending to write the script and to discuss it during my appointment the next day. The purpose of that appointment was to assess the increase in dose. During my appointment, my regular provider was there. She simply said she disagreed with the increase, and that there was no notes reflecting the dose increase from my appointment a few days before! She then went on to say she is not comfortable with writing anymore refills. She promised a review with the addictionologist. But I see the writing on the wall. I think I'm being discharged because of their own miscommunication and confusion among themselves. Frankly, it's much easier to acquire oxy and relapse. I'd rather not. That is playing with my life. I strongly suggest you establish care with another office. These guys seem incompetent and sketchy. Best of luck on your recovery journey!

    This "Doctor " is ridiculous. My spouse recently entered the building that this office is located…read more He went in to visit a different company. On the way out of the building he was approached by the doctor that works at the treatment center and was accused of being a homeless man who was "stealing". He told my spouse he knew he was there to steal something and told him to empty his pockets. He was then informed that my spouse was visiting a different office in the building. When confronted about this interaction the "doctor " had a smug look on his face and while he denied it and stated they were "the most sympathetic towards the homeless ". Not One time was my spouse asked if he needed anything or if he was in the wrong spot. He was Automatically racially profiled because he was native and "looked homeless " he is not. There was No apology only argument. At no point did they say "we're sorry if that happened " just "excuse me, only 2 people work here and you have the wrong place". For that alone I will never recommend this business to anyone. Stay far away, they don't care about you, they care about business and money. They can't even have the decency to ask questions before they yell at you for "trying to steal" and have no class to even apologize.

    Allow me to tell you why I left Fireweed Health Care. In a word: Deb. Recent visits have led me…read moreto the conclusion that I can no longer trust her judgment. She parrots back Trump & Alex Jones diatribe so much in the sessions that you don't know if your medication is being prescribed by her or by the "War on Opioids." Among subjects that have come up are that Pokemon GO is turning kids on to Satan and that the creators of Rick & Morty, just like anyone Alex Jones and Fox News don't like, are pedophiles. The thing that convinced me that I needed to go elsewhere was my first appointment after my roommate took his life following the earthquake in December. My depression and anxiety are a matter of record, so I was honest about how I don't know how I'll make rent and look after his wife and so forth. The following is not her verbatim response, however, all of the sentences were in it: "Well, you better get a job, then! Can't keep sucking off the government teat forever! Once you've lost more weight, your depression will go away, then it won't matter that you've been on disability for 14 years." This woman is a NURSE? That is neither the definition of "compassionate" NOR "care!" One appointment with her set my Depression therapy back five years! Maybe she thought she was giving me a "needed kick in the ass," but no. It was a kick in the balls when I was already down. This combination of experiences is why, after years with their other providers, I feel that I can no longer trust Fireweed Health Care with my pain management.

I was seen at 2 other offices prior to meeting him and his professionalism, ethics and problem solving are second to none. I highly recommend. As a chronic pain patient-if what is being offered is not solving your issues then move on to a new doctor. I wasted over a year with the wrong one who kept insisting on repeating injections that were not helping.

    If you have any kind of severe or chronic pain please consider reaching out to Advanced Pain…read moreCenters of Alaska. I worked at APCA for over a year and the providers genuinely care about helping their patients. They don't start by pushing medications but rather approach your treatment with a more holistic approach. They start with procedures that are targeted to treat your symptoms. Then they work to get you into physical therapy, massage therapy, etc. to help target the issues that are causing the pain. In terms of employment I would highly recommend this office. The providers are great to work with and they enjoy teaching their staff new things as they believe that the more everyone knows the better the office will run. I would definitely agree! Having people cross trained allows for information to get to the patients more easily as anyone can answer their questions. The work environment is great. I really enjoyed my time working with Dr. Olamikan and think he was a great boss. The patients themselves were so kind and I miss so many of the regulars now that I have moved. Overall, I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for pain management care or employment!
