The office staff got me quickly checked in and back in a room. The doctor came in shortly thereafter and really seemed to listen to my concerns and responded with thoughts of how to handle my concerns. I felt I was really being taken seriously. I would highly recommend them. read more

The Dr was thorough but immediately wanted to schedule implants on my neck lower back and wear batteries attached to the outside of both areas which I do not want to do. Not only that, he wanted us to drive 3 hours round trip for a 10 minute surgery instead of using a local surgery center. That's just ridiculous!!!! read more

Long wait in the waiting room. They were almost an hour and a haf behind. How does that happen at 10:30 am, to get that far behind is sad. Could be a lot cleaner. They get confused with handling Paperwork. If the insurance can find another facility for us to go to we will jump on that. We did not feel comfortable here at all. The whole experience was bad. No consideration for the patients. Most are in pain and only want to go home. To make peope in pain wait so long is a sin read more

See all

I highly recommend Dr Murphy, but his support staff is extremely incompetent. Therefore, I cannot recommend the office. They are always saying they do not have referrals from my primary care and today they call me at 7:48 AM to tell me they didn't have a referral so they would have to cancel my appointment that was at 11 AM. My primary care doctor forward me the referral that his office had received on July 14, 2026 as well as showing the date that it was sent back which was July 20, 2026. Unfortunately, this has happen in the past with Flordia Pain relief. But I normally have gotten it several days prior to the appointment, allowing a sufficient amount of time to have it resent. I'm very grateful to my primary care doctor and his staff. His staff resent the authorization and-sent me a copy as well. It's my overall opinion of Dr Murphy is an awesome pain management Dr with an incompetent staff. read more

Botox shots for my grand headaches every 3 months. People at this office are very nice. Office is very clean and you don't have to wait long

Went in for my initial and probably last visit to only wait almost 3 hours. When booking they ask you to arrive 45 minutes early only for you to sit there for an hour before you are called back. Which it also seems like they have everyone arrive at the same time.Once they call your name they have your urine cup so they can take a sample..which is something that they apparently do for your first 3 visits. That is something that should be mentioned when booking or at least when they call to confirm your appointment. After already booking I still received multiple calls from different staff members to try and book the same appointment. read more

The front of the Doctors office should let the patients know cell phones are not permitted I.e., specially loud on speaker & on FaceTime. I was sitting waiting to be called & I let the girl at the front desk know a patient was loud on her phone, instead of her saying something she told me "there's nothing I can do about it " that's absolute BS!! NO OTHER DOCTORS OFFICE PUTS UP WITH CELL PHONE CALLS IN THEIR OFFIC! I'm sitting in pain & anxiety & having to deal with this while waiting to be called back to a room, ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! So Needless to say the medical assistant agreed with me, they should have told her to take the phone call outside. read more

Consistent, Caring, attention to each individual by the doctors and staff. I couldn't be more pleased. Highly read more

this doctor is not a pain management doctor! I received a phone call from their office stating that they can schedule me an appointment after verifying my referral from my primary care physician. When the lady called me to schedule my appointment, she verified my health insurance. Never once did I receive a phone call telling me they did not accept my insurance. I paid $175 copayment as to sit there in there for four hours. When the doctor finally came in, he never a evaluated me all he did was look over my MRIs. And proceed to ask me questions about my current prescriptions.. I take alprazolam for anxiety. He had the audacity to ask me why I take that medication. Oh, we are at Doctor right? Why wouldn't you know the answer to that! I was told he would not help me with my pain thing you can do for me with prescribe me medication to help me quit smoking. What a joke that's not why you see it fucking pain management doctor. I would not recommend wasting your time seeing this POS provider. I work in health insurance I will be filing a grievance against his office. read more

I was 9 minutes late. Waited an hour for Dr. Leal. Was advised with the other patients would roughly another take an hour. Opted to see his assistant. She like Dr. Leal was kind, respectful, & professional. My issue is his office accepts my insurance. But The surgery center is considered a separate entity does not accept my insurance, Hence I would be treated as out of network. that requires a much higher out of pocket cash from me! Boo! For now the doctor does surgeries at: Tampa General Hospital. Very frustrating set up. Hope he never stops using TGH or I'll have to go another doctor. Boo! read more

When all you need is your medication sent to a pharmacy that has it and wait all day after waiting the weekend and holiday on Monday and they can't call my medication into a pharmacy that has it is NOT ok. I paid 175.00 on Friday and all I need is for him to call it in. Why is that so complicated??? read more

Might as well be a pill mill. They try to get you to do DNA testing to Bill your insurance $$$ or you, the pt. I refused. Waste of money. If your insurance refuses you Will have to pay. My chart contained lies, the whole waiting room is high and falling asleep. To boot the Dr was busy so because the assistant saw me now I have to pay because the assistant is not in my insurance network. Receptionists are rude and the billing office never calls back. Bad bad bad, stay away. I don't take pain pills but it seems like that's all they want to push. Dr leal seems good but the whole outfit is a front for nothing but money. read more

The clinic is very caring for people and help them a lot. I would refer them I would refer them to anyone.

unfortunately there are no minus stars. Was sent here by my pain management doc to get spinal injection. Look like a "cattle call'. Patients (more than 20) were lined up in a large room with just a curtain between them. I was so disgusted by the whole process I walked out (more like ran) with complaint stating they had better not charge me for anything, that they or my doc should have explained what the process was going to be. I changed my pain management doc because I figured he was part of the "mill". They have been sending claims to my insurance co for DNA testing, really? So glad my ins co are denying all their claims. Do yourself a favor avoid this type of facility, all they did was exacerbate my PTSD, and bill for claims that never happened. read more

I cannot believe this place they build me and build my insurance on top of that when I wrote a bad review I came in and the doctor told me about it and started being the worst doctor to me like crazy being real rude and tell me I have to take this pain medicine doctor lay out the rules after ever and then he picks me up because I mentioned the reviews and I told him to stop being mean to me and he got really mad because I said I was going to write a review on him this is really crazy with this doctor I would never go there I'm still trying to get help because he keep me out and it's getting harder read more

Doctors are horrible!!! Office can't process paperwork on time. Doctors not willing to help fix office problems after multiple weeks and multiple tries of contact. Me and my insurance company attempted to make contact a total of 7 times over 2 weeks. And going in for a simple injection took 7 hours without reasoning. Dr. Ellis is a waste of time, he is scheduled in the office until 430 then without notice changed it to 330... take your business elsewhere read more

I've never seen such blatant disregard for people! They don't care if you're insurance covered or not. They will sign you up and perform all these unnecessary procedures and then let you know that you are out of network and left holding the bag! STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! They need a negative rating number! read more

They billed my insurance for a $9000 lab. Which is also OUT of network and sent me to surgery center Out of network.... needless to say I am fighting paying over $5,000 in claims....and I have good insurance. Don't go there unless u want to go broke. read more

Do not go here. Impossible to straighten out any billing mistakes on their end. It took my insurance company over six months to get this squared and I'm now owed a refund from them and cannot get a hold of anyone. Nothing but voicemail with no return calls. read more

I hate to even give a star. These people is a FRAUD! They did stem cells in my right knee, scheduled me for my left knee, they sent my insurance company the MRI for the right knee again, of course they insurance company will deny the same knee again. I had the office staff at Tampa Pain Relief center & my insurance company on a conference call, the lady at my insurance company SHUT THAT GUY DOWN for every lie he tried to tell. I was scheduled 3 times. They lied & said the insurance denied the procedure, the insurance lady told the office NO, WE DON'T HAVE NO AUTHORIZATION FOR HER (me) left knee. She told him to send them they proper information for the left knee, because they haven't sent them anything... Tampa pain relief is a office full of liars. Don't go here, they'll screw you OVER, kept lying saying they denied the procedure & I asked him WELL OKAY, IF THAT'S THE CASE, send me the denial letters or the information to my email, all he could say was "I'll see what I can do"..... He said I was suppose to have recieved these denial letters in the mail ummmmm how, never gotten it, nor to my email!!! Liars!! read more
