This has been the worst experience I have ever had with doctors. Once again I was told I either get back injections or they would no longer prescribe me pain medication. The pain injections do not work and have made my pain worse. I have repeatedly explained this, however they do not care. I either go along with procedures that they deem necessary or they refuse to give me pain medication. Today, I was told to find another provider, because I wasn't listening to the doctor and refused to have yet another round of injections. I did listen, but he didn't seem to care that they did not work. It appears that their money is in procedures. Prescribing medication is not a money maker. read more

Response was a canned public response to cover the anticipated congressional investigation I'm filing through the VA and Tricare so other Veterans and their families don't have to be treated the way I was. I hope the Dr. Is exposed for what he did. I have no problem standing up for those without a voice and being intimidated by medical personnel. They have a duty and responsibility to care for their patients and do what's right. I haven't been able to do much since they did 2 mbb blocks. Just that and an epidural took alkost 3 months. The organization is a mess. Evey time I go in , just a lot of crippled patients. What do they cure ? They caused me to be on a walker at 60. I told the Dr the 1st mbb didn't work. They went ahead and did a 2nd. Back seized 5 minutes after leaving the clinic. Told the Dr. I refused treatment when the procedure was changed after I arrived for my appointment. A very sensitive and painful procedure without anesthesia. Sorry. They're out sick this week. Sorry, I wasn't told until now. Dr. ushered me out the door and said don't come back or else......what does that mean ? A Dr. !!!! VA got me taken care of. New clinic, Dr said 2nd mbb failure showed their next step was not medically necessary. Wrong course of action. My pain, not theirs, for treatments billed to the VA. They new clinic got me help on my 1st visit, reviewed my mri's and actually talked to me, asked questions, actually is getting me the help I've waited on for months. I told all my extended family here in Tucson. This Dr. needs held accountable and the clinic will be investigated, I pray. read more

Husband was with pima pain clinic for 5 or 6 years. Always tried new things to help his pain. Followed all the rules and NEVER abused his medication. Tried a new pain patch in Oct. Was in the hospital the next day. Couldn't bteathe. When he was released, pima pain said lets try the patch again. Husband did. Next day we called DR. Anabi, husbands breathing was awful. Dr. Anabi said get that patch off and go to ER. Spent another week in the hospital. Went back to pima pain clinic. He just wanted his 5mg pills, he could control those without any problems. Somedays 1, somedays 2. They told him they wouldn't treat him anymore, and they would tell everyone not to treat him. Imagine a 71 year old man, being treated like this! Come to find out the patches were fentynal. Hmmmm! Wouldn't trust them. Be careful people. read more

Nice Doc, paid my bill on 4/25/25, still receiving PAST DUE NOTICE on 6/16, called them to see why this was so and the accounting department hung up on my call. Nice, effective, good business practice... not. I called them back and their accounting department apologized for the disconnect, requested I provide proof of payment which I confirmed was made on a specific date two months back. I requested they do their due diligence and find where the payment has been applied and return my call with that information. They have the funds... read more

after living with chronic pain for 45 years, I was thrilled to find out that Dr Annabi would be able to stop the chronic, acute pain in my left leg from severe neuropathy. It only took two weeks for me to be able to see the doctor for the first time and I was scheduled for an MRI the next week. I am so happy! I'm just mad that other doctors never told me about this procedure. read more

I have never been more disappointed with any medical facility. More than here. All they care about is getting paid for the fourth time. I've come in for an office visit and they tried to charge me an additional $5. It's only $5, but that's not really the point now, is it? They always correct it But once again, it makes me wonder how many people don't question it. And just pay it i've had to have the same nerve in my neck cautarized twice because they botched the first procedure. I had to go through the entire process again. Because they couldn't admit that they made a mistake. They got it right the second time when you call down here, one of the first thing that they tell you is that we are experiencing heavier than normal call volume, for 3 years come on. Thats really poor management i relate to one of my appointments due to an Uber. They have a $100 no show fee here which I had to pay in order to see the doctor again. Roughly a month after paying that the day of one of my appointments, I got a phone call saying that they had an office emergency. And they had to reschedule me. They want 36 hours advance warning. They gave me like 5 naturally when I asked if I was going to be reimbursed, anything I was told to kiss off If you can find any other place to go I would suggest going now.These people suck read more

I guess this is the sad future of pain management in the United States. The atmosphere is devoid of any real empathy for the people who come to PPC for treatment of pain. You will not receive any meaningful care until you have given over some co-pay dollars and contributed to the PCC coffers so don't expect to feel better for a few months, at least. Sadly, even after spending your dollars you will still be treated like a bothersome boil on their butts. It was a very depressing place to go to and I will not be returning. read more

Thank you so much for your help Dr. Annabi I was in pain and thank God I found you...

To register you are in a room with no seats standing in pain in a line out the door. Only one person checking you in. People were hunched over in pain moaning. This pain clinic is by far the worst place to send people with pain. Don't go here read more

I am still in the middle of dealing with them , but so far it's not going well. Incredibly poor communication. All automated and text driven.

My mother was scheduled for a 30 min procedure at the Broadway location her appointment time was 4:30. We arrived early to make sure we weren't late. By 5pm she was called back to sit and wait. The medical assistant was the only person I saw during the visit who told us the iv would be started shortly by 6pm and 7pm still nothing.(to me "shortly" isn't 2 hours).This is extremely difficult for someone in pain! If anyone should understand that it should be the PAIN CLINIC !?! I stepped outside to use the phone and wasn't able to get back in or check on her due to office closed at 5. I had to call emergency line twice to find out what was going on. Over 4hrs later I got the call to drive around to back door to pick her up. The follow up appt I had signed for sutures to be removed When my mom called to check appointment time they said there wasn't one! read more

Don't bother with Pima Pain Center. The Dr knew my medication was due and scheduled me for two pain injections and didn't call in my pain meds. When they found out my insurance wasn't going to cover it and I would be out of meds by the weekend they called and said they were sorry they couldn't take me in. And left me suffering. They had 4 weeks to check on these things with my insurance and get back to me. Very unprofessional and they don't care about your pain if this is how you get treated. I was ran over by a car and suffered multiple surgeries just to walk again. They knew this!!! read more

Wanted to set up pain management with them since it's so close to my house. Refused to even set me up as a new patient without multiple letters from providers even though my insurance doesn't require it. Was treated like a pill shopper even though I'm not even on anything. Now I have to go back to Banner despite the really long wait times at least they don't assume I'm an addict there read more

If I was about to really score them some very good but then there is a few that I would rate them -100% -F. Saw some of the reviews and not call people back over a severe reaction to medication that could have killed me.called the next day waited 2 days called back 2 days later still no call. I am not able to do Morphin an it off brands an family. Explained my concerns but CHRISTINA TURKNETT - F.N.P. but she would not even tack my concerns to hart. I got an increase in other mediation. No call bake. What i got was oh if you get hives take benadryl. I almost died from the patch she wantedme to us. Me notvwanting to risk it i asked her is she could keep me on medication I have been on for two year. I do not abuse my meds. Never overdosed. I did what they asked me to do. After five days yes I was upset. Did I have the right to be mad. ALL I wanted was to see what I was to do. But no call. The i was told not to use the patch ever again. So I wanted to see what she could give me something for my pain. Yet no call. The nurse I was able to talk to kept telling me if I have haves to go to the ER. She was acting like it's no big deal. Then I am on hold. She tell me they cannot and will not give Me anything else to help Mr. I have been with out meds, the third of June would be a month.​ I even told them I could hold out tell then. But I was getting mad. The way she was talking to me was getting pissed off know. They all acting like I am a druggie an needed my fix. When all I want to do was talk to some that would lesson to me an understand my side. But nope. I was be on mad. With covid anyone that died they got 8,000.00 per body. So I said- want did she try to kill me so she would get paid. She still acted like what I went through was like a splinter in my finger. I said I was going to report her Christina to the medical board for what happened. Christina is to stuck up and act like her shit don't stink. So I ask to speak to customer relations to let her know what was going on. Nice lady. My bad think she was going to help me. Christina is leave as of 5/31/2023. She could careless about anyone in her care. The nice lady calls me back. Broke my pain contract they discharge me from their care. I have been with them for five yrs. No issues. But I ask why was I get punished for something I was trying to fix. Yes I was mad at the fact no-one Would talk to me. I staited she almost killed me and i get kicked out. Got i. To argument with lady when i ask why i was having my agreement canceled an she told me that the bitch Christina said i was Opioid illiterate. That took me over the edge. I have been on pain meds from 2009 - tell 2023. No fuck up no issues tell Christina. I fill a complaint awith the Medical nursing board. Trying to save anyone that goes to seek medical advice or for help.she might try to fo what she did to me to others.

If I could leave it zero stars I would. If it weren't for the few compassionate nurses (you see them for 95% of your appts at PPC) like Tina and Aimee Ramos I would've left years ago, but they at least made the neglectful treatment and the arrogant/pompous, crass attitude from certain Drs there somewhat bearable. If you want to be gaslit, dismissed and flat out lied to this is the place! If you are neurodivergent in any way I highly urge you to reconsider your choice in providers if you don't want them labeling you as a "difficult/non compliant patient" simply for speaking directly and/or calling them out when they drop the ball, make false promises, put incorrect information into your legally binding medical chart, or trying to gaslight you into believing their twisted version of events (despite every call being recorded). read more

I've been a patient for about 7 years now. I did everything they ever requested to include getting imaging done, signing up for and attending physical therapy, having radio frequency ablations done and passing every urine test I ever took. My last appointment, my nurse practitioner was acting very odd. Come to find out she either left the company voluntarily or was terminated. They sent me up with some medical doctor who seemed less than qualified to address a superficial cut much less be prescribing pain meds. They terminated me at that first appointment after they got rid of my nurse practitioner. They freely prescribe opioids and possibly get some people addicted, only to terminate them cold turkey. Just reading the reviews here ought to tell you all you need to know. Postscript - I believe the doctor's name who I found incompetent is Yan Yang while the nurse practitioner's name was Christina Turknett. Again I don't know if she left a voluntarily or was terminated by the company. Post post script - They obviously have a position at each facility called patience advocate. Absolutely ridiculous. These people have no interest in looking at the patient's position in any dispute. Again, look at the reviews. read more

Stop....don't continue with these people. Go anywhere else!! I'm trying to pick my mouth up off the floor because I can't even believe what I have been through with this organization, and I didn't even make it to an actual doctor who was interested in helping me. I was told that I fell through the cracks because of the holidays. My initial referral sat on a fax machine for three days, is what I was told, and only progressed because I called. That should've been my first red flag and I should've stopped at that point. I'm pretty sure it's a HIPAA violation to allow patient information to just sit in front of anyone for three days. First, I was treated like I was a drug addict on the initial appointment, where they screen you with a urine test, which I was fine with. I marked on my paperwork that I wasn't interested in narcotics in the first place, but they will sure treat you as if you are after pills. I have been in debilitating pain for five months with shoulder and back issues....zero pain management. I was/am in psychological distress, as anyone would be, which is why I decided to try this place. I would expect a place like this to recognize that as one of the reasons for why a patient would come here. I was also told that the initial doctor wasn't very good at relating to emotional people or women (yes, that was said verbatim) in pain, and boy, was that the truth.... what a jerk!! After all of this with the initial appt., they missed reviewing my most current x-rays, so after I told them that I had current x-rays, was then told that I would be scheduled for an MRI. I didn't hear from anybody for a week, and when I called, I was told that they needed a neck x-ray along with the other x-rays I've had.... no one bothered to call to even help me schedule. They acted like I could just wait months. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Trust me, save yourself from this place and go somewhere else. read more

Dr Koschorke is excellent; extremely competent. The practice is well run, staff plots and friendly.

I have been going to Pima Pain Center for about 4 years now. I have always been treated with respect and courtesy. I have been treated at both Broadway Offices. Both offices are very professional, clean and business appropriate. They have a very friendly and calming atmosphere. The office staff and personnel are very courteous, helpful, and professional. I was a little apprehensive about my first time into a Pain Management Center rather than having my individual Doctors treating me for my different needs. It is a different way to go about pain management. At first, I saw a different person every visit. All were very helpful and treated me with respect and compassion. From the previous medical history and treatment that I had brought into the Pima Pain Center, we were trying to design a new program with the treatments and medications. I finally was making great strides with Christina Turknett. Between the two of us, we established a treatment program of the medical procedures they provided and including medications for pain as I needed. I had several other medical problems as COPD, Pulmonary hypertension, Blood clots in Lungs and other medications that I had to always take into consideration. Christina was very extremely helpful to me. With her assistance I was able to have treatments (injections, ablations, etc.) done. They did come with CT Scans and X-rays and a Nerve function test done as well as medications to get me back on sort of an even keel of tolerance and ability to function daily with minimum pain. I have many allergies to various things, mainly medications! I have learned over the years which ones and i have to be proactive in my treatments to hopefully make sure of no allergic reactions! The staff here is very helpful and has always listened to my needs and assisted me in the best decisions and choices for me. I was extremely disappointed in learning that Christina Turknett would no longer be there, I trusted her completely, and I truly believed she was doing what was best for me, as her plans were helping me. I have found another staff member that is helping me as well. Brooke Ruth, she is very helpful. Also, Dr Yang has done several tests and procedures for me. I think I am getting back on the right track again. I have found all the staff members to be very courteous, helpful, compassionate, and professional. I thank them for that! I look forward to all the help and assistance to get that help, that they provide to me. I thank everyone for their help and assistance! The two offices I have been to are very nice, modern, clean and professional looking. I love the beautiful bouquets of flowers; they give a bright and cheery feeling! The staff is also courteous and helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Pima Pain Center for your pain management needs. I would give them 100+ and 10 Stars!!

Low quality medical staff. They couldn't care less. Each time you go you see a different nurse or doctor who doesn't even know why you're there. They like to sell stuff, like epidural injections and ointments at big markups. Their non-medical staff, though, are nice. That gushing five star review by someone with no previous reviews right below mine. Who do you suppose wrote it? read more

So my husband needs to get monthly pain medication. So we have to go on a monthly basis for refills. Now mind you my husband is dependent on oxygen and is I a wheelchair. We did have an appointment and we waited an hour and half for the doctor past the appointment time. Then they say he needs to do a urine test. By now he is almost out of oxygen and do not know if he'll make it home. So we had to leave and then come back in the afternoon to do the urine test! We have been going for almost 2 years! Another reoccurring issue is you make your next appointment after your visit there. Every month I am told they have no openings and they are creating more time slots and will call us within the week. Guess what! They never call! So I call and they can never get him in at a time I can make. I go through this EVERY MONTH! Pain doctors for you coming or going because they know you need the help. read more

Where do I even begin... First off, dr wong is nuts. She told me repeatedly that the percocet I have been on for 3 years with zero issues makes me "stupid". Lady, the traumatic brain injury I suffered in my accident didnt even get that done and I have never read a side effect to a medication making anyone "stupid". Secondly you never see the same doctor twice or even the same nurse practitioner. Pretty absurd. Thirdly, ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS GIVE YOU EPIDURALS. Even when you tell them it dont work they ALWAYS come back to EPIDURALS like everyone is in labor that goes there, even men. If that treatment dont work why keep recommending it? They just recommend ANYTHING that you can afford. Try this, try that never once saying anything will actually work. Just guessing every single time. Lastly, as a chronic pain sufferer, I have never felt like a drug addict until i went here. They treat everyone like a drug addict. Urine tests every single visit. That's a first for me. No refills unless you go every month and piss in a cup. Methadone clinics dont even do that. Long story short, I dont have anything good to say about this dump or the people that work there, it's a pill mill and a insurance fraud scam. I NEVER once had theses issues in San Diego. Ever. Avoid this place and have your dr refer you to a proper doctor. read more

This review is actually for the location at 6840 E Broadway near the corner of Broadway & Jessica. I had an appointment yesterday at 11am that I had to schedule more than a month in advance for an epidural injection for pain relief in my back. I completed my online check in several days in advance and indicated I would want the IV sedation. I'm sure that 99 out of 100 patients getting an epidural request sedation. I have had IV sedation at this location at least 3 times in the past when I've had the radial nerve blocks. I arrived 15 minutes early and the young lady checking in patients was not someone I'd seen before. She looked barely out of her teens. When I told her I'd be paying for my sedation, she informed me they no longer perform IV sedation at this location (where I'd had it at least 3x in the past) and now I'd have to wait for the 4601 Broadway location to contact me for an appointment. AND, she told me they now do sedation on TUESDAYS ONLY! I'm sure with that restriction, I'll be waiting until October or November for a new appointment. Of course I'm still waiting for that call from the Broadway location to give me an appointment. Then I informed her that they should also now have a referral for me for another type of pain injection from my neurologist. She confirmed that they did have the referral so I requested an appointment for that to happen. She said I first had to have an appointment for a consultation with the doctor. I explained to her that during another follow up appointment abour 2 weeks ago,preceeding my epidural injection, I'd had an appointment with Dr Mejia several days after the neurologist sent the referral and we talked about the procedure my neurologist wanted done as well as the epidural procedure. But the referral just hadn't come into their system yet so no appointment for that could be scheduled until they received it but they would call me when they got it. I never received a call. She said she didn't have access to doctor's notes so out of exasperation, I asked her to schedule an appointment for the consultation. She wouldn't do it and told me I could just talk to the doctor when I was having my epidural. Clearly, she has no idea what happens during the procedures because the nurses are the only ones you talk with while they are prepping you. When they have you all ready, the doctor walks in, doesn't hardly say boo, they inject the sedation, the doctor does his thing, and the next thing you know, it's all over, the doctor's long gone and the nurses are getting you up and out of there. I guess I'll try and call for an appointment and pray I don't get that idiot girl again. My biggest burn is, how difficult would it have been for them to query their system for all patients scheduled for epidurals or any other procedure that most people request sedation for and inform them that IV sedation is no longer performed at the 6840 E Broadway location? They send reminders almost daily starting about 5 days before your appointment until you've completed your online check in so I'm sure they have the technology to find those patients in their system and pay them the courtesy of informing them of their policy change. I didn't appreciate having to drive all the way to their office only to be told that the procedure I'd been waiting over a month to be done couldn't be done if I needed to be sedated. If they'd had the courtesy to inform me sooner, I'd be much further ahead in the queue to get an appointment at 4601 E Broadway. This is just total BS! read more

This place has employees that have no clue what they're doing. I would recommend any place other than here if you need help with your pain, and if you would like to get an appointment scheduled on time each month so you don't run out of medicine. They say it's not their problem if you didn't get scheduled within 30 days so you do without medicine until they can find another appointment time and date. They have great doctors but their help is bottom barrel song with patient advocate had no clue either. read more

Dr. Annabi is one of the best doctors I have ever had....and I was SO thrilled to hear he was still in Tucson with state of the art clinic. He stopped my 2008 migraines in just one very unusual procedure, fast forward almost 14 years and he was able to find where my problem was. He has a lot of 'teachable moments', he is brilliant, he does his research, he is kind and though I just started with this awful back, hip, leg pain from being an athlete I am learning now what I can and shouldn't do for it. I too am a published researcher from working and teaching at the UofA so I have the utmost respect for great doctors, and in my book, he is a 10. Looking forward to feeling better and I know that I am on the right track. read more

I had kyphoplasty at the Broadway office and am very pleased with the care I received and the results of the surgery, so I give them high marks for that. I went to an office closer to my home for the follow up treatment, but the quality of care went downhill fast. I needed to be scheduled for additional procedures for another issue, but one of the front office staff was extremely disrespectful during the entire process. She was most unprofessional, laughing into the telephone for several minutes, while I stood there, and yelling at me quite rudely when I turned to walk away towards the door. I paused and gave her the opportunity to rectify the situation, but she continued to yell, so I ended up walking out. I'm returning to my referring orthopedic doctor for further treatment. They do amazing kyphoplasty, but I don't recommend them for anything else. read more
