I have been going to pain management doctors for years because of my back issues & I feel very comfortable recommending this practice. The Dr uses various treatment options including medication, injections & more involved procedures (such as a rhizotomy). It is all done is on an outpatient basis & you are in and out very quickly compared to a lot of other facilities. The staff is wonderful & very courteous and professional, from the receptionist, to insurance to nurses and scheduling assistants. If you have any issues with pain, I would definitely recommend this practice!

BEWARE!!! I had a fantastic experience for the last couple years with Elise Mann. She seemed to…read moreunderstand me and empathize with my situation. I did literally EVERYTHING they asked. I called today to find out when my appt was in February because i Iost the card and was told they canceled it because I didn't pass the drug screen. They said there was thc and hydrocodone in my system, so they canceled me wout telling me. I have tried pot 2 times in my whole life when I was a teen 35 years ago and hated it, was so paranoid the whole time. I havent taken hydrocodone in decades, so canceling me wout even doing it again or talking to me is the WORST thing I've ever heard of. Beware of this place!! Telling my abuse story is SO HARD for me to do and re-live and I really thought she knew me better than that. You are HORRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS and should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. Robin

It was a disappointment for me. If the neurosurgeon had told me more steroid or epidural…read moreinjections, that don't work, I won't have wasted anyone's time. I was under the misguided impression that pain management would make the best decision for my 30 year chronic back problem. There is so much available now besides injections and putting us on morphine and hydrocodone. I just wanted to get to the car and cry from frustration.

She stated that there was one nurse for new patients and that it would be at least another hour. Why don't they schedule accordingly? If I sat in those waiting room chairs any longer I would have been unable to walk so I told them I had to leave. I would advise everyone to avoid this uncaring, overbooking office. Pathetic.

All the physicians are very professional and try to help you to the best of their ability! I know you aren't supposed to have favorites but of course I do, I tend to favor Dr. Simpson and the nurse Samantha the most. They've made such a difference in my life and I'm so grateful to Dr. Simpson for all he has done for me! As long as you do what you're supposed to do you won't have any problems here.
