I am…read moremuch more active physically, and feel so much better emotionally now that I'm not in pain anymore. He is a wonderful soul who really cares about his patients. He is a great listener, and works with you to find the best way to go about ending your pain. He gave me my life back! His staff is also wonderful. They make you feel like you're one of the family from the time you walk in the door. They are always on time, and you are in and out before you know it. Dr. Chen and his staff are the best when it comes to managing my pain, and I appreciate everything they have done for me.

To be candid, this is a bit of an emotional review for me…read more Anyone who has ever struggled with chronic pain will know this to be true: it's absolute hell. For the past six years, I have had debilitating lower back pain. I've had to stop working out, and I've had days when I could barely walk across the room. I've gained weight, lost sleep, and have really struggled. The most frustrating part has been that no one could ever tell me what was wrong with my back. My scans showed some swelling in my SI joints, but that was always the end of it. A year ago, it was discovered through a blood test that I possess the gene HLA-B27, which can indicate the presence of a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. So there it was: an answer! But even after previous doctors saw this, they were hesitant to diagnose. Why? I have no idea. But I was always just put on pain medications, which is never a good answer. I actually stumbled into Dr. Paul by accident when my previous doctor was out on leave. She was the first person to have a long, focused conversation with me about what was going on, and diagnosed me with AS pretty much immediately. It was such a relief to have an actual answer. From there, I was put on the appropriate medications, and was pain-free almost immediately. It's been several months and I am still feeling amazing. Dr. Paul is an exceptional doctor, and spends time addressing questions and concerns, which I've found to be really rare with rheumatologists. She changed my entire life and I'm back to functioning at 100%, which I'll never take for granted. I cannot recommend her enough. Kathy, one of her staff, has been wonderful as well. Truly a great group of people.

The physicians assistant says they only offer interventional pain relief. What does that mean? Do they review the referral notes sent by primary care physicians? I don't think so. It was a waste of time and a hope shattering experience to go here.

Another dr in crystal city hurt me so bad i could hardly walk an had to leave work for 2 months. I have 3 herniated disc, degenerative arthritis, scoliosis an horrible fibromyalgia. Then in 2019 i broke my back. The dr in crystal city said i didnt need to be on pain killers. I hurt constantly. My ex husband an i owned 8 martial arts schools. 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. But i think his last name is Anderson a black guy hurt me, belittled me an lied about me. NEVER GO TO THIS ASSHOLE IN CRYSTAL CITY MO. Dr Shapiro is great but now retired. He had a Nurse Practioner named Betty. Shes a bitch, rude an call you a liar. Walk out if shes part of pain management you switch toi. There are more complaints about her on yelp

I was very surprised by this. He left his medical assistants, nurse practitioner and chiropractic associates just hanging. Also as his patient I felt saddened by his sudden leaving. One thing I know is that I would not want to work for Dr. Spinks. He did a decent job with pain management but needs much more experience with managing a business and people.

I was short on my pain meds, and that sucker would not help me at all with anything He wouldnt give me any non narcotic meds , didnt try to help me so i didnt have to get street drugs for the pain, and wouldnt give me anything for the withdrawl i was about to face. 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.

I have made appointments 3 times and had them call me to reschedule all 3 times. My job simply doesn't allow me to ask off and then rescind it at the drop of a hat so I'm out those 3 days of vacation/personal time and have nothing more to take for the year. They have no understanding of professionalism when it comes to keeping these appointments and think that a "sorry to inconvenience you" is good enough. If you're truly sorry, DON'T CHARGE ME FOR EACH VISIT I HAVE TO CHANGE BECAUSE OF YOUR INABILITY TO DO FOLLOW UPS.

It would have been nice if they had some tables for folks who brought laptops to do work while waiting for the patient they were with. There were a couple of us who were balancing our computers on our laps. The chairs provided were not designed for long term sitting, they need a little more cushioning to be comfortable. It was a nice touch that they did have family friendly movies playing to entertain you while you waited for your friend/family member. The staff members that I dealt with were rather cold. There was no warmth or personality while communicating with them. Also, there were no employees of color. My friend even said the same thing when I was taking her home. She said, everyone who took care of her in the back medical area was white. In this day and age, that makes me uncomfortable.
