I feel respected and valued. I live in a senior citizen community, and multiple neighbors are also patients.

Dr. Caner is Extremely knowledgeable in his field, I've Never seen anyone look up as much stuff online just to prove stuff is true or not. He is Amazing and I've been going to him for over 15yrs now. I would Never Trust Another With My Back Pain from being a little Semi Driver Retired now from injury. He has more knowledge then half the bigtime city boys, and I'm from Chicago originally. His files have always been on spot with me, so who ever wrote that review must of gotten fired or one of them people ya can't ever make happy no matter what ya do cuz over referred ALL MY FRIENDS TO HIM and never heard one complaint ever. I even told him I was President Of His Fan Club, he didn't even know he had one! I love him Dearly not queerly don't pay no mind to one sour apple in the basket please. He is #1 in my Opinion, Honestly. Sheri G Lake Villa, IL. In God We Trust true that!!! Pisses me off when people say crap that just ain't true, Honestly!

    Don't get too comfortable with this "doctor/specialist" for pain relief... Within a year she will…read moreyank the rug out from right under you. Flag YOU as the problem (as unwilling to try synthetic opioids you already tried in the past as the ONLY prescription pain reliever available, Tramadol, available from that point forward). Leaving you high-and-dry without ANY kind of pain relief what-so-ever and absolutely NO WHERE to turn. My insurance and I paid $HUNDREDS$ per MONTHLY visit for just a piece of paper on a less than 2 minute appointment every 30 days and $THOUSANDS$ for the first visit, including the urinalysis for illegal drug test as the ONLY test she will ever prescribe. I felt like a criminal, even though I was getting the very least opioid prescription available, per "MY" request. I've NEVER, EVER ran out early. Asked for MORE or INCREASED dosages. I've NEVER sold or used them any other way than EXACTLY as prescribed ONLY. I've NEVER used them any other way than the EXACTLY as prescribed, EVER! I walked into my appointment expecting what she had been doing the 9 monthly visits prior and was told, "There's nothing more I can do for you." And I was "DISMISSED". That is a HORRIBLE thing to do to someone with chronic, PROVEN by NUMEROUS tests, pain! I am given the boot to "fend for myself once again" without ANY kind of pain relief at all. It is truly cruel. Absolutely nothing but back to over-the-counter Tylenol, again. Now, I cry every single day from pain and frustration. I spend 23+ hours per day in my recliner. I can hardly walk. I have trouble sleeping. I have absolutely NO QUALITY of life left (this is NEVER going away, it's permanent.) and I just turned 50. I've been on permanent disability since the late 1990's and "THIS" is how I am treated. Like "I" am the problem. I truly do not understand. I have NO relationships or friendships other than a couple of family members because I can no longer do anything at all without experiencing embarrassing pain turning to shaking uncontrollably, then sweating BAD... All due to pain. I am now hoping and praying for a very shortened life-span since there is ABSOLUTELY NO QUALITY to it. Sad. Very sad. Save yourself the hassle and go someplace other than Rockford, Illinois, and definitely "THIS" useless "doctor". Had I known I would just get a few paper prescriptions, then "let-go", I'm not too sure I would have even bothered... Especially once I saw the bills! (She "said on many appointments" that what I was getting was really the only thing she could do for me, then... Contradicted every word of "that".) P.S. Be prepared to be treated just like a "herion junkie" by everyone from the receptionist to THIS doctor if you make the mistake of scheduling an appointment. Trust me, even if you've never ever even done anything illicit, you will still be treated as such. It's really quite awful, making matters even worse, if possible. (All the nurses were usually pretty decent.)

    If you have chronic pain I'd suggest going anywhere else. I was forced to see this doctor because…read moremine had left the clinic. She asked me what she could do and I told her what I had been prescribed, she then interrogated me as to why I needed such strong meds. I explained to her why. She said I didn't need them and she doesn't prescribe them, then suggested a med I had already tried and it did not work for me. I told her that and she said flat out she doesn't prescribe that med out patient, nevermind the fact that that has been a part of my pain treatment plan for 15+ YEARS. Ended up telling her flat out that it sounds like we'd be wasting each others time. She told me to have my GP find a different provider and walked out, this interaction lasted less than 5 minutes. This doctor lacks any kind of bedside manner, compassion or the decency to care about the patient's quality of life. I never abused my meds and generally would only refill them twice a year as I only take them very rarely. I left in tears, defeated and frightened because I had to find a new doctor after I had been a patient in the clinic since 2003. A pain doctor should be the last person to question the severity of a patient's pain but that's the first thing she'll do.
