We showed up 20 minutes early and they still took another 45 minutes PAST the appointment time to take my mom back to see the doc. I've been sitting in this waiting room for OVER TWO HOURS past the scheduled time, not including the early time and they still say it's going to be another 20 minutes more before she will even be back out of the room. They said the appointment won't take longer than 15 minutes in total. I recommend you find a different pain management clinic unless you have literally nothing else to do with your time and you enjoy just sitting and waiting. I had better experiences at the DMV. read more

Dr. Kaur is the best. She is an anesthesiologist/pain specialist. I've seen her for four years now. She has always been supportive, kind, and has one hell of a sense of humor. Over the years I've come to adore her. Even when I didn't make the best choices in self-care, she gently brought me back from self-destructive tendencies. I have a wide host of autoimmune diseases and as a consequence, seen MANY doctors. Dr. Kaur is by far my favorite. Obviously, I highly recommend her to anyone with pain issues. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Jayaram for over two years. I was friendly towards the entire staff. Every visit I brought the staff treats. Cookies, cupcakes or even ice cream sandwiches in the summer time. I've bought gifts for a few of the staff as well. I have had many procedures done throughout the time I was his patient. The last two procedures I had were very painful and took a long time to heal. I decided to have no further procedures done. Over the past two years, my insurance has paid for most of the costs of these procedures with the exception of $1.50 here or $5.00 here. All my procedures had added up to around $100.00. About six months ago I paid $30.00 on it leaving a balance of $70.00. After telling them I wasn't going to have any more procedures things changed. I went in for my visit. I was told I couldn't check in until the person in the billing department ok'ed it. I spoke to her and informed her I couldn't afford to pay anything on the bill at this time. (I ALWAYS paid my copay) She said she would have to go speak to Dr. Jayaram to see if he would see me today since I wasn't paying on my bill. I was in tears back sitting in the waiting room. I was afraid he was not going to see me and not fill my pain medication and I have Multiple Sclerosis and have a lot of pain. She came back saying he was in a procedure so she couldn't talk to him right now. She was going to let me be seen. I went back out to the lobby to check in and pay my copay. She told the receptionist it was ok to check me in. The receptionist asked her loudly "is she only paying her copay"? She then says to the receptionist "I don't know"? I said I already told you I could be pay anything else! I was currently going through an eviction and had no extra money. I said you guys are acting like I owe you $7,000 instead of $70.00. I was so upset at the way I was treated. I was embarrassed, humiliated and couldn't understand why this money seemed to be so dire all the sudden. After I was home I called my insurance company and filed a grievance with them. No doctor should ever treat a patient like this. I received call a few days later from the doctor's office. They were calling to inform me that if I didn't set a date to pay the $70.00 the doctor would terminate care. I set up a date within 10 days to pay the $70.00. She said that would be ok. In today's mail dated the SAME day they called me to make arrangements to pay my bill. The doctor "FINDS IT NECESSARY TO WITHDRAW FROM FURTHER PROFESSIONAL CARE"! I thought about it and know it all makes sense. I told them I was no longer going to have any more procedures done. This is where the doctor makes his money. He doesn't make as much money from a patient who just comes in for medication. I stopped being a money making patient! Therefore he had to drop me like a bad habit! It's sad but I guess it's clear that Dr. Ashok Jayaram is all about the money. You're a great patient as long as you are willing to be a pincushion for him so he can get richer. When you're tired of being poked and prodded and having no results from it and don't want to do it anymore...... YOUR OUT OF HIS CARE! What happened to your oath of DO NO HARM Dr. Jayaram? You are harming your patients by discarding them when they are no longer financially working for you. SHAME ON YOU! read more

Pain Management Consultants - Pain Management Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Simply atrocious. My wife went to Jayaram when referred by her Providence GP for her post-cancer chronic pain. The whole process was atrocious. There was no solid communication, merely threats and incomplete information. They offered NO solutions, merely a demand that she stop her medications with no strategy for keeping her out of pain. They treated her like a criminal and the base assumption that everyone coming in was an addict rather than someone trying to manage pain. He gave us simply wrong and dangerous information. Then he denied ever having told us what we repeated back to him on subsequent visits. DO NOT go there. read more

It actually takes a lot for me write a negative review. Typical to many Oregon pain management clinics, they do not accept Oregon Health Plan (OHP), particularly Providence Medicaid and they also do not accept cash pay. Providence insurance is just awful for any kind of specialty care because you're pretty much stuck with 'in-network' only and the scope of modalities is limited. NOTE: There is a lot of mis-information going around that pain management clinics will not prescribe medications or even alternative pain management procedures like epidurals, cortisone injections ... etc to people on OHP. This is only partially true and primarily affects those covered under the Providence and Kaiser groups, not sure about the Tuality umbrella. Let's just say the CareOregon program is a better insurance choice when it comes to pain management selection since it is accepted at far more places, like Legacy and OHSU for valid prescriptions. And most specialty care services are accepted by CareOregon including most of Providence. read more

Dr. Kaur is the best understanding Dr. ever. After 8 years I did get dismissed for a drug in my Mouth test that I did NOT do. My Dr. even went to stick up for me but she let me go. God I cried for the first month because she was the best Dr ever. If your looking for a great Dr this is the place to go. I will miss her. read more

For over 15 years I have been a patient and devoted follower of Dr Navnit Kaur and the staff of Pain Management Consultants. It all began as a hopeful random referral. Now I can only think how lucky I am to have had this health care opportunity. Dr Kaur and staff have my complete confidence and trust. Their unwavering care and sincere kindness have made a true difference in the quality of my life. read more

I've seen Dr Navnit Kaur for pain following a serious auto accident for over 20 years. While the office does experience frequent turn overs in front office personnel the doctors themselves are a constant. I received spinal epidurals a couple of times a year due to sciatica caused by the accident. Without these shots I could not function normally. They helped me walk, enable me to sit in a car on a road trip and climb stairs. Recently I'd begun getting injections into my right patella area, following a broken tibia and surgery. My knee aches a lot and arthritis in it has been diagnosed via MRI. I know when I need a shot when I start to rub my knee. Becky, the procedure scheduler, was good about getting me in ASAP. All in all, I didn't stay a patient for fun. It's a challenge in this era of decreasing opioid medication for chronic pain to find a doctor who will help, and I'm very glad I took myself off opioids and now use CBD tincture, which is actually more helpful and has fewer side effects. As a result, I could no longer be a patient of Dr Kaur as their policy prohibits any cannabis use as a patient. Even with that, I can't talk poorly about how they have treated me over the years..now I have to look for a new place to get spinal epidurals and knee injections for the pain..and so far have had no success finding anyone. (Heavy sigh) read more

I really like Dr. Kaur. She is smart and she has more ideas than just pain gels and pills. I have a few problems and can trust that she will take everything into consideration. Becky in procedures is on top of her game. First nurse that can stick me on the first try. Thanks, Pamela Bidwell read more

I should have written this review a decade ago but never got around to it. I have used Pain Management 3 times in the last 12 years for relief of temporary pain. My first introduction to Ashok Jayaram, MD was just over 10 years ago when I had a serious accident with a Radial Arm saw and cut my left hand (Primary hand) in half and loosing 2 of my fingers. After a 8 1/2 hour surgery they had my hand back together. Over the next 2 years I had 13 additional surgeries. The surgeon was good about treating the pain resulting from the surgery but did nothing to help my suffering from the nerve damage and 2 years of hand therapy. They referred me back to my primary care doctor who did nothing. While complaining to my surgeon about the issue he referred me to Pain Management. Dr Jayaram immediately put me on a long lasting fentanyl patch and a lidocaine patch which worked great. After completing therapy we went to strictly to the lidocaine patch which I used for the next 18 months or so until the nerve pain disappeared. This was a wonderful non narcotic pain solution. Fast forward 10 years to my knee surgery (total replacement). The surgery went very well and they treated me for 6 weeks. At that point they discontinued all pain medication which caught me off guard. I was still in therapy ( which is very, very painful) and still in a lot of discomfort. Back to Pain Management Consultants. Dr Jayaram Put me back on a Fentanyl patch temporarily until my insurance approved the use of a formulated cream for pain management. This was a godsend. It worked great. So off the patch and on to the cream. I still use it today. Recently, I had a bungy cord (black rubber with metal hook) come undone while fully extended and hit me directly in the right eye rupturing the eye, crushing the lens, detaching the retina, and tearing my iris in half. The ophthalmologist treated the for the initial pain but due to the trauma to the eye and optic nerve, I developed Ocular Migraines. Back to Pain Management. Dr Jayaram put me on oral medication while we got insurance approval for a special treatment. Yesterday, he treated me with a local analgesic applied through the nose. It absorbs through the sinus and into a nerve cluster behind the eye. Instant relief ! It lasted about 3.5 hours. At about 2 am I was awakened by a screaming headache. I applied the treatment and bingo, headache gone. The receptionist told me she has had it done for her migraines and it works wonderfully. Pain Management Consultants is a great place to go to address both acute and chronic pain. Thanks to all of you at Pain Management Consultants! read more

Dr. Kaur is imperious and condescending. She and many of her staff make one feel guilty about taking pain medication, but that is not the worst of there treatment. They are very casual and uncaring about filling prescriptions. At least 4 times when calling in for a refill, they failed to send it to the pharmacy. I did not abuse my medication and in fact most often had unused medication to bring to my office calls.Several times they filled the prescription without communicating with us. Communication is hit and miss in general. Most often, a return call on their message center, does not get returned. They had one good PA, Nadine. Elsie is a nob, math or communication skills are absent. If you truly have chronic pain, this is not the place to get treatment. read more

I was an employee here and had a very good experience. The staff is kind, professional, and friendly. All the staff treat their patients extremely well and care so much about each patient. I found it to be a really nice place to work and the patients I spoke to were very happy with the care they were provided. read more

Office staff is rude and unhelpful. Perscriptions have to be called in & picked up in person. Regularly they are not ready, making me late for work. Once I has to wait over an hour. Find somewhere else, I know I will be. read more
