The office manager Aurora and a girl named Melissa are two of the worst nastiest people there. The doctor is aware and doesn't care either. He allows his staff to treat patients like trash.

Why 5 stars? Because after seeing many people, I finally received a diagnosis here…read more --- --- --- I've really been struggling with back issues for the past couple of years. I've seen countless types of doctors and physical therapists, only to find no solution. My Orthopedic Doctor got the point where he just kind of threw his hands up in the air and told me I should see someone else because he was out of ideas. That's where I found Dr. Schulak. He was incredibly thorough with my examination - performing a bunch of different resistance tests and showing me the curve of my spine on the X-rays. He was able to do something that no one else could: provide me with a diagnosis. That bad news is that I may not be able to fix this problem, but at least I know what it is now and can attempt to resolve it. Dr. Schulak referred me to nearby Physical Therapist that I really like so far, but time will tell if I can finally curb this pain that I'm having. I definitely appreciated Dr. Schulak's expertise to at least tell me what was wrong with me!

I had an ongoing back problem for years and went from doctor to doctor who blew it off. A lower…read moreback issue is VERY hard to get care for, at least in my experience. My primary care doctor ordered a MRI and I took the results to specialists who basically looked them, threw some medicine at me and sent me on my way. I got zero compassion and no one who took my escalating pain issue seriously. A friend of mine had gone to Dr. Schulak and swore by him so we made an appointment. By the day of my appointment, I couldn't walk any more. My husband had to put a mattress in the back of our van to get me to the dr. . . I couldn't sit either. My pain was to the point that I told my husband, either we need to fix this or I need to be put down. That's where I was at. Dr. Schulak felt like my last hope and honestly I didn't hold out much hope after dozens of doctors blowing me off no matter how great my pain was. . . I walked in with MRI results I had taken in Oct 2013, and this was now April 2014. . . So many months that I had barely survived and doctors dismissed me after looking at the same results Dr. Schulak put on his computer and looked at. Then he walked into my room and told me I was the proud winner of a surgery. . . He was kind. He was compassionate. He cared about my pain and most of all. . . He admitted me to the hospital THAT DAY and did the surgery the next morning and fixed the problem. He told me it was the only surgery I was going to feel better coming out of then I did going in and boy was he right. . . 2 days after my surgery I threw a birthday party for my daughter and people were amazed (In retrospect I was probably over doing it and Dr. Schulak would faint if he reads this. . . But after so long in so much pain I felt on top of the world) He saved my life. I would send my mother to him tomorrow if she needed back surgery . . . I read some of the other reviews and honestly. . . He's not a pain management doctor. He is a doctor who fixes the issue. That's what he does. He determines what the issue is and works towards helping patients live healthy lives. And yes, he told me to exercise. He told me to walk. He said I needed to do my exercises to keep my back strong and called me out when it obvious I wasn't doing them like I should. I don't see anything wrong with that . . . Like I said, he's a Orthopedic Surgeon and I went to a lot of doctors who specialized in back pain who did nothing to help me. . . And honestly, I didn't get fistfuls of meds from him, but I did get a second chance at life without NEEDING meds. . . And I'll take that any day! Also, as a side note. . . His staff is amazing too!! They were all compassionate and wonderful! They really cheered for me on my follow up visits when it was obvious I was doing so well!

I had X-rays taken and it was done extremely fast with no waiting. Then I was brought into an examination room where I waited for 1/2 hour in an extremely warm room. I thought to myself that there was definitely no air-conditioning working. When the nurse came in I asked her and was told it wasn't working. I was treated by Breanna Wells the Nurse Practitioner and she was lovely and extremely thorough!

I really like the PT technicians I dealt with who are kind and professional, but the doctor was…read morevery impatient and uninterested to answering my injury and care questions. The office administrative staff - across the board - are borderline rude, complain about patients in front of other patients waiting for appointments, and just seem to be there to collect a paycheck. Not a good atmosphere for patients in pain coming for kind or compassionate care. Feels more like a "cattle" processing plant. Lastly, they do not engage in transparent billing practices. It's a real chore to see charges or to be informed about charges accrued, but they are aggressive to have you to pay blindly without any explanation of charges. Desk staff have no access to detailed billing or ability to print this for patient HSA purposes.

Dr. Ramirez is a very non-pretentious and humble man. His knowledge is on the "next level", this is…read moreonly exceeded by his experience and skill. He is trusted by recognizable athletes to treat their chronic pain issues but doesn't advertise this fact with sports jerseys throughout his office as you may have noticed around insecure doctors offices. He treats all of his patients with the same respect and you feel as if YOU are his star patient. His office staff is courteous and helpful. Do NOT see him if you are looking for "pills" and intend to "shop" for a suitable physician to feed your addiction (I suspect this is the reason for some lower ratings). He uses floroscopy while a general anesthetic is given by the Anesthesiologist (Dr. Blackshear, we share a sense of humor. Ask him when was the last time he passed gas :-] ) to tackle the problem at the "root" by nerve blocks in several varieties as well as Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA-the thermal destruction of nerves/roots) . His pre/post operative nurses (both experts at getting difficult IV sites) and other surgical assistants are accurate and very well trained and all are kind as is the doctor. If it is indicated, he may prescribe medication but is very conservatively, using his judgment, always attempting to back away from Narcotic Analgesics where possible. Not to worry, he will not leave you in pain though. Pain is relative and subjective, a point not lost on the doctor or his assistant that you may see for follow-up visits. He treats you as an individual and is not in a hurry, so occasionally an extra wait time will be noted (perhaps another reason for the some complaint). I want a doctor who is not in a hurry, who is willing to talk with me irregardless and is deeply concerned with improving my quality of life. He has made such a difference in my life that, though he is reimbursed, I personally owe him a debt of gratitude (as does my wife, immediate family and close friends) that no dollar value can be assigned to it. In my day, I worked very closely with physicians and they are not built equally. Bedside manner is definitely noted from Dr Ramirez, plus I think he might be scared by pain at a personal level, having been fortunate enough not to have first hand knowledge of it (just kidding, he's not a big wuss). I hope this helps anyone who values the opinion of a patient who has been under his care for over five years. Be sure to choose wisely, I know that I have. Thank you all at Intervention al Pain Management.
