Just the normal post op pain. He is very well educated. So anyone that has back issues or back pain, I have been asked who my dr is. I have been seeing him for 6 years now. I have had bad back issues since 14 and he has been the only dr to actually help me and not treat me as a drug seeking young man. Dr Steven Levine with Midwest Pain & Spine has an office at IU West in Avon and one in Carmel. He's a little hard to understand only because he talks quick. He knows his stuff and has worked wonders for me. I would suggest him to anyone with back pain. His honesty can come across brutal but listen to him and he will help. I cant wait to get healed up and back on the golf course. I still have 5 courses I want to play before the end of the year.

I drove over 3 hrs to see Dr Wellington based on a recommendation from a friend in the chronic…read morespine pain support groups. They had me schd for the wrong location, so i was in the car driving last min decided to call...oh no he's not in Fishers he's in Carmel today, I'm like that's not what they told me, so i needed to change gps, I was worried i'd miss my appt because like i said, not familiar with the area being over 3 hrs away. I get there, I've had 3 C spine surgeries last year, i haven't been able to work all since falling at 35yo and herniating my c spine... i've been living w my parents in agonizing hell of pain trying to get help for 2 yrs now, i'm 6,7,8/10 every day, i have not been without serious pain for 2 years. I'm runing out of income and the pain is destroying me completely, so i was hoping to see him about an intrathecal pain pump. I have never been treated so poorly in a medical setting, as the patient, or seen someone be treated this badly, because i have been a BSN RN for 8 yrs & 3 semesters away from becoming a Nurse Practitioner, because i had to quit last year to have 3 spine surgeries, and i stood at the secretary counter to fill out paperwork because it's really hard for me to put my neck into flexion and write, and kind of hard to sit and hold a clip board infront of your face and write. So i usually stand on the end of the counter, so it keeps my spine more neutral as i write. I was asked to move to the other side so she could see some pts, so i was like ok, and my book bag was on the floor, i had a clip board, wallet, pen, phone, my insurance card & license all in my hands and not to mention it hurts my neck to lift bags so i usually try to do it in the least painful way, but could no since my hands were full & i was trying to hurry out of their way, so i just kicked my bag over a whole 2 feet to the other side of the desk and stood over there and continued my paperwork. Well, I guess the secretary TOLD ON ME? ... that i was kicked my bag around the office and that i was dropping "f bombs" when i shit u not, all i did was whisper TO MYSELF, 2 times "Fuck, i dont remember how many times i went to message therapy this whole year" and i was like looking at the wall trying to think and got out my phone too look up dates and try to calculate to get a close number, and then 2 ladies come to the door and call my name, i still had 2 pages left and showed them my clipboard and they were like that's fine u can come on back, so go back & i got scolded like a 5 yo, i was talked to you harshly when i never cussed any staff out, never made a scene all i did was whisper 2 cuss words to myself and move my bag with my foot because that was easier on my spine and faster to move out of the way.... and they were acting like i was cussing people out, and i could not understand how nor why they were treating me like this? why? Because i have a two full sleeves of tattoos and my hands and fingers? were they profiling me or discriminating against me, because i had done nothing wrong to them whatsoever, and they were being very rude on the approach of bitching me out about WE DO DONT TOLERATE F BOMBS HERE WE WILL NOT SEE YOU OKAY DO U UNDERSTAND THIS!!?? both of them standing there, my mother was shocked as well. She couldn't believe it, and called them a bunch of assholes after we left, terrible. I'm like i drove over 3 hrs to get here and waited 2 months for this appt and they threw me back and forth then said the dr decided not to see you. So they brought me back scolded me and i was like ok, i was explaining to them trying to defend myself like i just whispered to MYSELF fuck as i was filling my paperwork out, they way they were treating me, you would have thought i bitched out the secretary... and they're like ok ok we dont care no more f bombs!! I was just trying to explain myself.... they cut me off and kept saying we are not saying the f word in here anymore, do u understand!? they just kept saying it over and over as i was like i only whispered it to myself, my God? what is going on, and i was like ok whatever geez, they go NO NOT WHATEVER DO U UNDERSTANDDD!!?? i'm like okay sure, and they're like u can go back out to the waiting room and finish ur paperwork, then 5 mins later same 2 came and brought me out to the hallway near the elevators & were like so we also heard u were kicking ur bag around? ... I'm like are u serious!!?? that was way before they brought me back the first time to scold me.... i was like ur secretary asked me to move to the other end of the counter and with my hands full and spine problems, i did not want to try to pick my backpack up off the floor with my hands full, so i just kicked it over to the other end of the desk and continued filling out my paperwork there? like i dont understand why that's a problem, they were acting as though i was kicking my bag around the office having a tempter tantrum or something, & said well we've decided not to see you. Unbelievable!

Dr. Steed is an extremely empathetic healthcare professional with a wealth of experience, as she…read morehas been doing this for a long time. She is seems like a lovely person and one of the only specialists in the area. However, I do think people should be aware of what they are getting into when setting up an appointment. 1. The initial consult is $500, it included an x-ray but after more research an mri is really what you should be getting to address tmd 2. She essentially gives everyone the same treatment plan which is a large splint to be worn on the bottom teeth for 24/7 initially, then tapered down to nightly for the rest of your life 3. The splint costs $4,000 with hundreds more tacked on to that for the molds and the tens treatment she has patients do in office (which they don't tell you costs as well), it is expensive even in comparison to other dental appliances on the market and insurance likely won't help cover it 4. She told me physical therapy wouldn't help me, however after my consultation with her I got a second opinion and am so glad I did. I have started physical therapy now and the results after only 2 weeks of pt + dry needling are truly amazing. I was having debilitating headaches every day for weeks, after 4 visits of PT and doing my exercises at home, I'm nearly headache free. Also, I could barely open my mouth 15mm before pt, now I am at 34mm - and I still have 3-4 more weeks of physical therapy. The best part is that insurance is covering my pt! 5. I also felt pressured to make a decision pretty quickly in the office, even the girl at the front desk made me feel like she was trying to convince me on the price 6. I've talked to two other doctors in the area now who have both had patients who Steed has referred her patients to and have referred their own patients to her. they both essentially shared the same sentiment, that Steed has been doing the same thing since she started in the 80's, it works for some people who are very pleased afterwards and some people wasted their money. When I went to see her I had terrible symptoms and was desperate to try anything, including paying the $5,000 for her treatment plan. But after my experience, I'd recommend going to the IU tmj specialists or asking your dentist to send you a referral to physical therapy. All in all, I feel like I wasted $1,000 in going to see her. Meanwhile, I initially asked my dentist to refer me to a physical therapist and instead I got sent to Steed, and then only to have my orthodontist refer me to PT which is costing me next to nothing and actually working.
