As a prior patient of other pain clinics in Birmingham, I can say that unlike the other pill mills,…read moreThe Doleys Clinic staff has been wonderful, helpful, and sincere about finding out why I am in pain and helping me managing it. They offer both homeopathic medicines as well the standard medications. Dr. Jimmeh (who sadly left during COVID) was the most knowledgeable and helpful, she was one of the best pain/neurologist doctors I've seen ever. The staff is always helpful, and easy to work with, Especially when BC/BS messes with medication coverage. Sadly after Dr. Jimmeh left I was put with another doctor, him and I didn't see eye to eye and my confidence in the Doleys clinic lagged. I may have left but I would still very much recommend them as one of the few good pain clinics in the Birmingham area. Just remember, although you are a patient, you are also a customer, so don't be afraid to be assertive and ask questions of your doctors. You will get the best care when you do.

The last text encounter we had, he called me a very mean hurtful name. This is one of those doctors who should not be in business. Besides that, his staff are always in a bad mood. They raise their tone of voice and yell at you. I have audio proof of this. Oh, and count on waiting at least 75-90 minutes because they are so unorganized there. Everyone there is overwhelmed, exhausted, and rude. Anyway, don't go to this doctor if you are a female under the age of 55 because he will most definitely flirt with you and then be mean to you and hurt your feelings. This business will be shut down, so don't even bother looking into it. There are plenty of other pain clinics in this area. No need to see one who just wants to bang you and call you mean names out of the blue. I think he has a mental disorder due to the name he called me. ***This doctor knows everything about me and he took advantage of that and that's what the big deal is***

Dr. Brian Thoma and his team have been treating me for chronic pain management for a several months…read morenow. I was reluctant about trying a pain management clinic for years because of some preconceived notions and apprehensions. Taking the advice of my family physician, Dr. Vicki Moore, I had an initial consultation and evaluation with Dr. Thoma and his assistant and I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the plan for my treatment. I've had two pain blocks (my most recent was today) and I'm confident I will be filling much better in the coming months. The staff is friendly, compassionate, and professional. I have great rapport with my nurse practitioner, Ashley Vaughn and I feel very comfortable sharing my concerns about my pain issues with her. If you are considering pain management I highly recommend Cahaba Pain and Spine Care.

My experience with Cahaba Pain and Spine was disappointing…read more I was a patient for approximately six months and did not feel that my concerns were adequately addressed or that there was a proactive approach to managing my pain. Despite ongoing symptoms and significant impacts on my quality of life, progress was limited during my time there. One interaction that particularly stood out involved a nurse practitioner who repeatedly insisted that I maintain eye contact while speaking with him. As a neurodivergent patient, difficulty with eye contact is well documented in my medical records. Rather than accommodating that difference, I felt pressured and uncomfortable during the appointment. Healthcare providers do not have to fully understand every neurodivergent experience, but patients should be treated with respect and without being made to feel that their communication style is a problem. What ultimately confirmed my concerns was that after transferring my care to another pain management practice, more diagnostic work, treatment planning, and meaningful intervention occurred within days than I experienced during six months at Cahaba. Every patient's experience is different, but based on my own, I would not recommend this practice for neurodivergent individuals or for patients seeking a collaborative, proactive approach to pain management.

She was always kind, respectful, and welcoming -- she knew patients by name and made every visit easier. I really hated to see her go, and honestly the service hasn't felt the same since. But today I met Brittany, and she has by far been the best part of my experience in a long time. I'm not sure if she's a nurse or what her exact role is, but she came into the room with genuine concern and compassion. She actually seemed like she cared about me as a patient -- and that makes a huge difference. Some people come to work just for a check, but Brittany showed real care, patience, and empathy. Thank you, Brittany. You truly made my day, and I just wanted to shout you out for treating people the way they deserve to be treated.
