My first BB test lasted 13 hours. i fought 6 men at a time. I did full contact for 25 yrs. 6 ft tall men threw me in takedowns as hard as the could. I also showed horses in barrels, pole bending western pleasure hunter under saddle an gaited. Ive had a car fall on top of me an 3 big horses the same. Ive been kicked in ribs an broken, runover by horse at top speed an a bunch of other things in gymnastics. So yes im always in pain.

Stay clear of this clown folks, i cant call him a dr because hes not worth that. He is the poorest excuse for a quack i have ever seen. On a scale from 1-10 for him he would be -2 dont even waist your time, theres to many good drs out there to mess with something like that.

Took a lot of blood which I could not get the results. Was sending us to get an entire body nerve test. I have already had one on my right leg. That was very painful. I actually was in the restroom when he decided all this. I don't even remember the other things we were supposed to have done. Other people were coming and going quickly. My husband got the same paperwork even though he had an established history with pain mgt Dr's. Ours just moved out of state. I had proven problems also but he was much worse. We never heard a word from anyone after I am sure they didn't even do the test or we should have heard something. But they didn't even have results when I called them. Think they just wanted the money. This was several years ago when they showed 7 locations. Hopefully they are cleaning up their act.

I have taken all kinds of medication, tried a chiropractor, acupuncture, etc. and nothing seemed to work. One of my co-workers recommended I try to get an appointment with Dr. Padda because he has a special technique that he does specifically for migraine headaches. Much to my surprise, I was able to get an appointment the very next day. The office was packed when I arrived but the staff were friendly and efficient. I had to wait about 15 minutes and they got me right in. Dr. Padda asked me tons of questions regarding the frequency of my headaches, severity, health history, etc. He recommended that we try an SPG - (Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block). Of course, I had no idea what that was so he explained it and it sounded EXTREMELY scary and intimidating. However, given all the pain and discomfort I have went through, i decided to try it. I came back a few days later for the procedure. it was quick and painless and for the best news - it totally worked! I still see Dr. Padda on a regular basis for follow up's and sometimes get Botox, which also helps my headaches immensely. He is a life saver for me. Highly recommend Dr. Padda - If he was able to help my headaches, I am sure he can help treat any type of pain.

You will get used folks,they do not care about you,it makes me wonder who's actually benefiting??because I know medication wise the people who needed it didn't get what they needed according to pain level,and the people who desperately needed help with medicine,or otherwise are struggling .to not get a referral,a good luck goodbye or anything is cold cold as ice!tables always turn,one door closes another one opens.watch out for being triple charged on your insurance as well.god sees everything,and he has a way of making the scales even.god bless and heed the warnings everyone,you will not be treated well if your a middle aged woman in pain especially.

At this location i had a appointment with Dr Stephen Schmidt. I have extreme pain. The office was…read morepacked but there are other Dr., working out out of the office. Going to a new pain dr is extremely stressful. My last 3 retired. So i sat in waiting room 3 hours 45 min. Finally was called back where I waited more. He finally comes in where i start relating my problems. He has a look of "extreme - hurry up i could care less- on his face. We spoke all of 10 min. Due to my job of 30 years of owning 8 martial arts schools, an riding an showing speed horses, and a car landing on top of me what my body has been thru with injuries has left me at times crippled. But this is what got me most. I had taken a trip to AR to look at houses. I was in such pain in left side (had been for yrs. This was worst. I tried to go to ER the night befor i left but couldnt drive myself the 11/2 hrs to get there. So next morn i had to drive the 4 hr trip home. i was passing out from pain almost wrecked about 8 times. Almost side seiped a biker an lost control. All over the road. Came to, and pulled over. Somehow i made it. So I proceeded to tell dr, how bad it was, blacking out from pain and he said, " I DONT HARDLY BELIEVE IT". Calling me a liar essentially. or saying lets find out why. His face totally dead pan. So our 10 min were up. Said hed give me a shot. About 10 people waiting for shots in shot area. After another hour i told nurse i was leaving. She said wait a little linger. So i did. But my pain had increased by at least 10. I couldnt take anymore so i walked out. This office over booked by 100%. Others in waiting room talking an unhappy. His bedside manner horrible an cynical. Pain management has to be hard. But they signed up for it. So if they cant take heat they should get out of kitchen. Also i get a bill for $33 plus. No name of what dr. Not their address. No full listing of what it was for. How am i supposed to know when its months later after sending thru medicare. $400 for a office visit that i went thru a terrible day for nothing. When i called billing to discuss my problem they said it wasnt their dept, contact office. Contacted office explained all this I wrote. They said not their dept contact billing. Just who or what, whos job is what, is the question. We are supposed to pay, pay, pay on time when its bad, bad, bad work. Im reporting to medicare. This is why we are paying so much an why most cant afford. Do not go here. The best dr i had for 14 yrs retired. I cried because i knew this is what would happen. Save your miney an dont let a friend go here either. Will they fix THEIR problem? NO because its about the almighty $$$$
