Dr. GU IS Amazing. He sincerely cares about his patients. He is very talented and I am blessed to live here so that he can help me with my spinal pain. Dr. Brewer had treated me the most amount of time! He always greets me with a smile. He is always upbeat! That is hard to do when you treat patients that are constantly in pain. He has exhausted every possible avenue to help me control my spinal pain. He is very good diagnostically! He always knows what is wrong with me even if it has nothing to do with his area of treatment. Both of these doctors are wonderful. They actually listen to their patients and treat them accordingly. My life and pain management would be very different if I was not in their care. They are wonderful! I am grateful they are my doctors!

When I moved to Glen Allen I immediately set an appointment with the same center here. This doctor had never seen me before, didn't look at my MRI and said you need surgery for an implant in my spine. We will schedule you in a week.....

I left there so mad and I would rather drive back to MD once a month than be treated by that QUACK

I know this is an old recommendation, however if it wasn't for Dr Van Manen, I would not be walking…read moretoday. I fell and broke my ankle and tibia many years ago (late 90's) and was taken to Chippenham where the ortho on call did the operation (Elmore- since retired) and he botched it. He put screws into the break (tibia) and the plate and screws broke. However, he told me that was okay, as it had healed. A year later I was still in pain, he told me it was in my head. So I went to see Van Manen on a recommendation of a friend, Van Manen sent me for tests and saw that the ankle had heeled at an angle. So he scheduled surgery to correct it (the break in the tibia did not show up on xrays). So he had me feeling good, but not totally under when he made the incision and saw that my tibia was still broken. He told me of it and proceeded to correct all the wrong. He is a gifted surgeon and to this day, I walk with no pain or problems.

I was hesitant at first but after visiting their website, reading reviews, and listening to several people tell me great things about it. I made an appointment. After my first appointment I was hooked! Dr. Sam is incredibly friendly, professional, polite and extremely knowledgeable, he helped breakdown what I was feeling, what he would be doing in each session and then where I might be sore or feel some pain the next day - he was SPOT ON with each. He is careful with his movements and really walks you through everything. I worked with Mel as well and she was extremely helpful in helping me work through some of the exercises, some modifications, and to help with next steps. Both were extremely patient with the number of questions I asked - which was A LOT! Dr. Sam is also incredibly accessible, he gave me his card during my first appointment and reiterated several times that I could reach him by phone, text or email. I did have some questions after my first appointment (about 24 hrs later), I sent him a quick email and responded within the hour with advice, suggestions, and recommendations. The work he did and the resources/exercises they gave me after only two sessions has cleared up my pain and they have assured me that if I stick with the exercises and listen to the warning signs I should be good to go. I am extremely happy with the results and highly recommend anyone who is feeling any sort of pain to make an appointment to see Dr. Sam Brinkley!

Other physicians have stated to me as well he's with out justification for his COST, I my self was dumb enough to pay his fee and go to him only to find out he doesn't let u have any input in your treatment cause he without consideration of Cost will put on medicine that is that is so expensive and and not let u have any say in the matter. After my visit I went to fill the medicne he wrote which was 8 times more expensive for two weeks worth than what I've paid for in the past for a month, I had to cancel the check I wrote because after filling the medicine the check I wrote would have bounced , so long story shot since I decided I would not be going back to him I offered half of what he charged me but no not good enough he gets a Lawyer and sets out to put me in Debt that has severely damaged my life, this guy is RICH and he wants to break a working man down so before going to this Quack think twice, he doesn't care about nothing but ripping u off .

I called on Friday to see what was going on with the prior authorization, I was told that the med techs take care of it now. So they would be working on it, I said that if I didn't have my medication I would be going through withdrawal over the weekend so what should I do about that. Tina said I'll talk to the med techs and make sure they're on it. I never received a call back. It was a very tough weekend. I called back on Monday, spoke to Tina again. I told her I wanted to speak with Janelle, she asked me what was going on. I explained it to her. She told me that she would get to the bottom of it, I never received a call back. I called again on Tuesday, spoke to Tina again. She told me that all prior authorizations had been sent in and that mine was sent in. I asked her what day it was sent in and she couldn't give me the answer. She said that she would check with the pharmacy to see what was going on. When she told me she would call me back I let her know that she told me that on Friday and on Monday and didn't call me back. Her tone changed and she told me that they were not responsible for how long it took my insurance company to approve a prior authorization. But she told me to be patient. After the phone call I called my insurance company they let me know that they never received any prior authorization from the office, so I asked if they could send one in urgent, and they did just that for me. I called the office back and let Tina know that I called in for an urgent prior authorization. Tina called me back a half an hour later to let me know that she spoke with the pharmacist and that the medication would be filled today and that it did not need a prior authorization! I checked with the insurance company and they approved the prior authorization 13 minutes after I had asked for it, that's why the pharmacy was filling it. I asked Tina to have Janelle call me, that still hasn't happened. The office closes in 20 minutes. I appreciate the treatment from the doctors I absolutely do not appreciate being treated the way I was by Tina in regards to the prior authorization. There's no reason it should take three phone calls and an extra 4 days without medication to get a prior approval. I was able to get it in 13 minutes. All that needed to be done was a phone call from the office, but I kept getting the runaround. Tina told me they were not in the business of giving people to run around and that I should be patient.
