Unfortunately, after seeking help from numerous doctors and exploring various avenues for pain management, this was my final attempt at finding relief. Dr. Jan Gillespie-Wagner and Darci Rossitier were Dismissive and Uncaring. During my appointment, the doctors I encountered displayed a hostile and aggressive demeanor. They failed to consider the impact of my chronic pain on my daily life. Furthermore, they seemed quick to dismiss my concerns and stereotype me as a patient, rather than listening to my specific experiences. They were apathetic towards atypical pain. The most concerning aspect was their lack of understanding or apparent disregard for my non-typical pain condition. Instead of offering help, they were dismissive and pushed me away as a patient. A Broken System: It's disheartening to realize how many people suffer at the hands of these medical professionals who are supposed to help. This experience is just one more example of how the current system fails patients with non-standard conditions. DO NOT GO HERE. They will stereotype you from the start and then don't listen to your situation.

Many people, including myself, went into withdrawal because our medications were stopped so abruptly. What they've done is patient abandonment. Not a single patient was told they shut down; their office in Greeley is empty and locked. What were these doctors and Nurse Practioners thinking to abandon numerous patients with significant pain issues like that??? I'm hoping other patients will join me in contacting the State Medical Board, as well as an attorney. None of us deserved to have this happen and they need to be held accountable.

I had a very poor experience. I was given Cymbalta without appropriate screening or advisement…read more Cymbalta appears to have a history of this: https://www.schmidtlaw.com/cymbalta-suicide-lawsuit/ They deliberately left me in continued severe pain, and in severe antidepressant discontinuation syndrome that their negligence caused over the Christmas holiday, which is the worst time for suicide. I am lucky to have lived through it. So the most egregious is failure to even care about a human being. They said they would at least try injections that don't work in hopes I can finally put that bad faith to bed, but he has left me hanging for MONTHS. Bad enough he can't bother to read my paperwork and trust me.when I say the last 3 times did almost nothing and RFA throughout my C-spine did NOTHING. They also did not respect and in some cases violated other patient rights, as well as failed to follow suggested ethical guidelines. Examples include failing to provide timely treatment, failure to provide continuity of treatment, failing to give me any agency in my treatment, and failing to provide any options. The doctor appeared to me to be ignorant about medication and the neurotransmitters they impact. He flat out told me that Cymbalta and Lyrica is the same thing, which is ignorance or delusion. At the very least he doesn't know the difference between GABA and seratonin / norepinephrine. Falsely claims it's dangerous to take 5 meu with cannabis which IS delusion. He'd clearly prefer to hook people on 60+ MEU oxy, so long as they don't take cannabis, which is as dangerous as prescribing antidepressants and placebos for severe chronic pain. Clearly has ZERO problem hooking people on Cymbalta, which made me WORSE while refusing continuity of successful treatment, without any scientifically or medically valid reason. Continuing an involuntary taper despite CDC advising clearly and directly against such action and without any cause or justification. I would warn against trusting this doctor to respect patient rights and medical ethics or perform due diligence. https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/ethics/patient-rights This "doctor" is engaging in torture. The human rights commission has concluded that witholding pain treatment is cruel and inhumane and amounts to torture. https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/treatments/pharmacological/opioids/united-nations-says-untreated-pain-inhumane-cruel?page=0,1

I wound up seeing Dr. Tennant via a bunch of confusion, but am glad that I wound up under his care…read more He switched my antidepressant to Cymbalta 30 mg and I'm the most pain free I've been in in a very long time. My cervical spine is a disaster. I have herniations from C4-7, stenosis, osteophytes, pinched nerves and nerve roots, and reversal of normal cervical lordosis. My muscles have stayed tense for years because they try to straighten out my spine. I have been feeling so well that I almost cancelled my appointment for Trigger Point Injections. I kept that appointment though and am feeling even better. Just a minor headache remains. I've had bad reactions to psych meds in the past and actually ruined my life for a bit after taking Paxil. So, I'm very hesitant to try new meds, but am glad that I did. There is genetic testing that can be done to see which medications are either good or bad for us, but they are kinda pricey. I'm back to driving on a more full time basis and am very grateful for this practice. Physicians "practice" medicine and there is often a trial and error period while things get worked out. I refuse to use opiates to treat my pain and am glad that those weren't pushed on me here.

I've been trying conservative treatments for cervical spine pain for a year and finally had to resort to something stronger. Ariel Shaifer, N.P. was my caregiver and she was thorough , informative and went over the cautions of using stronger pain killers. But, she was still accommodating and not condescending or tough. You just have to pass a drug screening prior, a urine test or mouth swab. I was unable to urinate right away but sat in the lobby drinking water until I could. I had nothing to hide. Marijuana use might be a factor in the ability to receive medication, so be forewarned. I was even told to try CBD, but was concerned that since some CBD has a very small amount of THC, I had not used it. I was told that if it showed up upon my next visit, I'd just be asked to discontinue using that product. So, they aren't unreasonable. I had a plethora of conservative treatment information from several doctors and a referral, which apparently is not required, but helpful. I think that's why it went so smoothly. Ariel Shaifer is very pleasant and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff is polite and pleasant as well. I highly recommend them. I had a bad experience at Colorado Pain Specialists where the doctor actually contradicted my doctor's opinion (because he'd never heard of him) and made me cry. Plus, they were in Golden, not so close and easy to get to in Longmont. They followed COVID guidelines and there was no wait... the waiting room was busy, but not packed full. Plus, they ran on time. Seek no further, this is the right place to go!

I am a medical director and understand the challenges, however this is unacceptable for a larger healthcare system. I will be looking with my insurance and will travel down to Denver with another provider at this point. Don't get me wrong, they did have 3 appointment cancellations in two weeks, but I am in clinic on that date, so there is my personal aspect leading into failure to schedule as well. Update: Was seen a few weeks ago and they submitted for prior authorization. Get a call today and rescheduled. Frustration is growing for someone who depends on this treatment for quality of life. Guess a call to the patient advocate will be placed. Update: Received a call one hour and thirty minutes prior to appointment. They are not sure if I am coming in at 11 am or 12 pm. I informed them that I was told to be there for 12 but the appointment would show for 11 am. Then I am told the appointment has to be canceled. When requesting another location, I am told management has to approve it along with provider to provider sign off. This is the worst care I have ever received in my lifetime. The processes, communication, and lack of accountability is obtuse. Requested a manager return my call. Just waiting now. 2 days later and still no manager call back or patient advocate return call. Talk about patient neglect and dismissiveness. Negative impact to quality of life and this organization could not care and less. I am a medical director and would never allow this type of negligence to occur in my clinic. Guess a letter to the editor of the local newspaper is warranted. Have went with a local competitor who was way more responsive and have providers and staff that actually care.

I first saw the PA, Stobbe, in 2015. My initial injury was a compression fracture of both c6 and c7…read moreat age 16 in a violent MVA in 1988. This was left untreated, and I was too young to protest. I started having moderate chronic pain after just a few years. This pain turned severe around 2012. After being sent to a chiropractor (psuedoscience) who didn't really help, I finally was referred to a Neurosurgeon. I never spoke to the surgeon to my recollection, just Stobbe, and they were under Banner. He said "90 percent of MRI'S are positive (IGNORING my compression fracture that 90% of the people DON'T have) and sent me to pain management for expensive, largely ineffective injections. I have always done neck exercises and stretching since the accident, and I have tried PT repeatedly. I went through 6 years of nonsense that likely made things worse, as it just let the wear from the mechanical issues from the broken C6 and C7 get worse and worse, and the injections and RFA didn't work at all in the end. I came back in 2021 (age 50 now), the MRI was significantly worse, and was consistent with most of my pain, and I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis as well. In fact, I have a large family history of spine issues and arthritis that was completely ignored. Stobbe (who was now UC health) gave me the exact same spiel he gave me in 2015, as if I hadn't already been through "conservative" treatment the last 6 years. He didn't even look at my paperwork. He instead sent me to get carpal tunnel surgery that had no effect other than increasing pillar pain. I have since gotten more opinions and found my whole lower C-spine has major issues. In November, I had ACDF at c4-c7. This has addressed many of my most severe issues, but I am certain that many of these issues were significantly exacerbated by the long delay in treatment and the lack of physical activity due to years of severe chronic pain. I also have developed at least 2 types of inflammatory arthritis (unsurprising when you look at my family history) which have made already severe pain that much worse when flaring.

I immediately cut all the foods from my diet and within a few weeks I felt amazing. I had natural energy and was sleeping through the night. Brittany's packages are all about pampering, foot bath (which is removing toxins), percussion gun over legs and back, and a vibrating stand that shakes all the toxins out. I did not start this program for weight loss, I did it for health. However, I lost 8 lbs of FAT.
