I have been a patient at Active Health Care for a very long time. The negative review I read were…read morea little shocking to me until I looked at the dates. Those reviews are from such a long time ago. Dr. Fox has one of the highest quality of employees. From Dr Fox, the office manager, the lab workers, my Nurse Practitioner, her assistant, and the front of the office. They are all top notch professionals, kind, caring, and compassionate. It is one of the only offices of the many I go to that do not treat you like a number on a file. They encourage me to take my time explaining my issues AND THEY LISTEN ! They treat me with kindness and respect ALWAYS. The entire office is very responsive to any and all my needs. Weather it is rescheduling an appointment or a new type of pain that has started, the employees at Active Healthcare go above and beyond to help me. I have seen them treat other patients and the "office culture" runs true throughout. Patients and their caregivers are treated with dignity and respect. I would Not recommend any office other than ACTIVE HEALTHCARE for weight loss, aging maintenance and Pain Management, etc.

I switched Pain Centers about 6 months ago and Dr Fox actually took the time to examine me and introduce himself. My last place never even looked at my back plus I never met the doctors only staff and PA. Rachael is a very good listener and takes the time to get to know you as a person. You never feel rushed and treated like an assembly line at a factory. She is very intelligent and very compassionate on what she does. Chelsea is also very nice and I enjoy going there every month. The staff are very professional (everyone is). As busy as they are they always smile and take good care of you. Teresa Mustaffa

Can't give a stronger recommendation.

After 2 trips to the ER, we went to see the neurosurgeon on April 6. He referred us to the Pain Consultants in Knoxville, TN for a shot. He said we could get fairly quickly with them. We finally got an appointment on April 17. This was just a CONSULTATION. They scheduled us for a shot on April 23. By the 23rd, he had been in bed on his stomach for a week. On April 23, Dr. Schott put a shot in his back. I tried to ask her questions and find out what could be done if the shot did not work as prescribed. She walked out of the room leaving her nurse to answer our questions. The nurse made a return appointment on May 21. The shot did not work. We went back to the neurosurgeon for a follow up on April 29. He determined that the first shot was in the wrong place and prescribed a second shot in the correct spot for the pain. We waited a week and did not hear from the Pain Consultants so we called them. They told us THEY would determine if we needed another shot. We cannot believe their arrogance thinking they should supersede doctor's orders. By this time, it has been 8 weeks since this all began. They told us we would have to wait for May 21 for another CONSULTATION to even schedule another shot which would be another week or so out from that because they could not give a shot the same day as a CONSULTATION. If you are in pain, this is not the place for you. The Pain Consultants and Dr. Schotts do not put the welfare of patients first. No one should have to suffer for so long between times they are seen. How dare Dr. Schott's think she could or should override doctor orders. Her arrogance is beyond words.

Joint replacement and fusion offered uncertain success, while gel and steroid injections provided temporary relief. My primary care physician recommended Dr. Carlson for non-surgical treatment for osteoarthritis and joint pain. He praised Dr. Carlson's advancements in PRP, a treatment made from concentrated platelets derived from the patient's own blood. Skeptical but desperate for relief, I scheduled a consultation and felt hopeful for the first time. Dr. Carlson reviewed my scans and diagnosed my condition using ultrasound, and had confidence he could provide relief. He created a detailed treatment plan and explained everything to me. After three months and three rounds of injections, I've been relatively pain-free and now walk five miles every morning. If you're experiencing joint pain, mobility issues, arthritis, or any other injury, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Carlson. PRP is typically less costly, quicker recovery, and for me, offered a better outlook than surgery. I was pleased with everything from our initial meeting to the final treatment. Working with Dr. Carlson was extraordinary. He dedicated time to explain his treatment procedure, ensuring my comprehension and comfort throughout the process. The entire office staff exceeded expectations, particularly in the healthcare industry.
