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 *

Dr.Gibbs takes time to listen to my concerns and has never ignored my input. I feel like a valuable partner in my own health care. I started my journey with two different neurology practices closer to my home. After seeing Dr. Gibbs, my quality of life drastically improved. Response time to inquiries do vary. I believe that this is because Dr. Gibbs is giving his whole attention to the patient in front of him, which I wholy apppreciate. The front office staff is kind and considerate. I've not had any difficulty with my insurance with this practice. Everything has gone quite smoothly. When posed with a question to move out of the area, I established one of my non-negotiables that I must be within a three-hour drive of Neurology Associates of Santa Barbara.

The outcome,along with that discovery produced a broken foot, and some lacerations to my face, as well as various bruising and pain under my left knee. Six months later after recovering, I moved to Santa Ynez, and the pain under my knee became much more Intense, where I couldn't put any weight on the leg, and began walking with a cane. Enter Dr. Birch. Not only a consummate professional, but a compassionate and holistically minded individual. Through testing, it was discerned that I had a torn meniscus. Not just any old tear. I learned that there's about 7? different types! Who knew! He decided mine wouldn't require surgery, and gave me a shot of cortisone. In 3-4 days I was pain free. Relief!! Having a long term illness, I've seen many doctors in my life. Dr Birch is special. I felt I could be open with him from the start, and he was helpful and thoughtful regarding other issues I was having, being new here that was above and beyond. I would say run don't walk to see him, but that might not fit under the circumstances. :-) He's the man for you below the waist. Btw, he said I had knees of a 45 year old. Thanks, Doc!!

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 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.
