First of all, the office staff (Christine and Sarah) are horrible (mischedule appt.'s and…read moresurgeries!). How, Jeoffrey P. Benson M.D., PhD., is in the field of pain management is beyond me: no empathy whatsoever for patient(s). No follow-up: NONE (no contact made after having medical device implanted over a two year period; you'd think they'd follow-up to see how you are doing, if for no other reason, b/c he is supposed to be "managing pain"). I had a medical device implanted in 2008, followed by a heart attack due to blood clot - now medical device has failed (Dr. Benson could care less now that the insurance has paid for the surgery). When asked why the office had not made any follow-up (nor the medical device company), Dr. Benson stated that I hadn't contacted him. Ignoring this response, I stated that I had a myocardial infarction. Dr. Benson replied: "it took you two years to recover?" I'm sorry, but who is the patient and who is the "pain management" doctor who doesn't follow up, and then throws it in my face that it took 'two years for [me] to recover from a heart attack'. Dr. Benson also was unable to operate the digital/electronic device in HIS office to read my implanted device. Dr. Benson casually mentioned that the Medical Device representative was supposed to have been in his office, but his other patient for the day cancelled (why the Medical Device representative wouldn't have still come in to see me is beyond my comprehension as Dr. Benson was well aware of my complaints that the medical device had begun to protrude (causing pain and stinging) and I was receiving an error code on the remote. Likewise, the only response I got from Dr. Benson regarding me symptoms was the question, "Are you having electric shocks?". I almost cancelled my surgery the day of and I should have instead of going through with this "doctor". This pain management "specialist" is all about the payment from the insurance company or you. The office itself is antiquated. Dr. Benson couldn't even tell me what type of battery was implanted inside my body (medical device) by he himself. * P.S. Their new website is laughable; especially the models shown on the website and made to appear as though they are on staff. These are not real people who work at the "center"- there is one photograph of the actual Dr. Benson on the entire website and he is the only doctor despite the misleading nature of the website which implies that there is more than one specialist {as of June 2010}. * www.painmanagementsb.com *

I tried on several occasions to make an appt. with Dr. Dirkx…read more The first time I called they needed insurance and general information from me and I gave it to them over the phone. They said they would contact me within 3 days. Four days later I called back. This time they said I had to get copies of x-rays and MRI's I'd previously had. I ran around getting those and took them to the office myself. When dropping them off, I asked to make an appt. and the office staff said they would contact me within 24 hours. A week later not having had a call I called the office back. This time they said they needed to contact the insurance company and would get back to me within 24 hours. Needless to say I've NEVER heard from them. I give up. Such a terrible way to do business.

I just experienced an energy healing session with Dr Gloria. What a miracle! I've had sciatic pain…read moreradiating from my RT buttock down to the ankle for years. I took 2 falls 6 months ago and my sciatica came back after a calm few months. It's the worst it's ever been. It's so painful that I often can't fall asleep unless I take neurontin. I take naproxen every morning along with a muscle relaxant called tizanadine. Drugs dampen the pain but never fully relieve it. I refuse to take opioids unless under supervision. They're so addictive. In addition I have severe osteoarthritis in both of my knees but the right one is the one causing the most pain. I'm getting that knee replaced in September. What Gloria has achieved in 15 minutes of energy work has gotten me pain-free in every area of my lower right side. That's an amazing thing. Over the phone no less! Thank you Dr Gloria! You are gifted. You are also so kind and gentle. I felt so very comfortable putting my body in your hands. I can not recommend you highly enough. I know that you heal all types of dis-ease. If you have an issue that can't be resolved do contact her.

I was scheduled for a back operation and with her help, over a short period of time, and her recommended daily back exercises, I am able to avoid surgery. No back issues now! On another occasion, I had inflammation under a bridge in my mouth. My face was swollen and I was not responding to pain medication. Dr. Kaye was able to reduce the swelling within 20 minutes and I was pain free. I have referred several friends and family members to Dr. Kaye. Recently, one friend had facial scarring from childhood acne and Dr. Kaye was able to make the scarring no longer visible. My friend's husband is no longer a skeptic of remote healing! I am a firm believer in Dr. Gloria Kaye's amazing work and her remote healing skills. Sincerely, Diana B.

(Right one in September of 2020 and the left one November 1st, 2021.) For both of them, the pain I had walking into the hospital was greater than all that followed in post-op and including physical therapy and occupational therapy. First, he is a doctor who will listen to you. He has the experience, skills, and knowledge to diagnose correctly the issues and offer the absolute best protocols to be successful in dealing with them. In my case, total knee replacement was the best and only procedure. Dr. Hurvitz is very down-to-earth and will take the time to make sure that you understand everything that will happen and any possible side effects. After each of my knee replacement surgeries, he would come by to answer any questions and to explain how the procedure went. His experience, skills, and surgical procedures enabled both knees to recover quickly and with less pain. In fact, the initial assessment by my home health physical therapist, just four days after the surgery, revealed that I had already met and/or exceeded the goals set by the home health physical therapist to exit their program. This is entirely due to Dr. Hurvitz's advanced procedural skills and protocols that he uses during his surgeries. I had positive outcomes for both knees demonstrating that he is consistent with his work as well. I highly recommend Dr. Hurvitz for any Orthopedic work. He is more than just a world-class orthopedic surgeon; he is an Artist of the Bones. Respectfully submitted, Mike A. Preslik Exeter, California
