I was referred to Alabama Pain Physicians by my neurologist for a nerve block due to severe,…read moreongoing pain. After speaking with someone in their office, I was told I would receive a call back within 2 days. That call never came. It has now been over 3 weeks (25 days), and despite leaving a voicemail, I never received any follow-up. During this time, I continued to suffer in significant pain without treatment. I ultimately had to find another provider, who was able to schedule and perform the procedure within a week. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice due to the lack of communication and follow-through.

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.

Good Legit doctor if you are a Chronic patient or looking for a rehab doctor. Fairly strict…read morerequirements & demanding Doctor. Staff also strictly enforcement of rules, times & Dr. Moons orders. Doesn't really accept any excuses/reasons for being even 1 minute late, reschedule nor not following orders. He will flat cut you off or stop seeing you as a patient if strict orders are not followed. Expect constant drug tests, bloodwork to confirm that you're following orders as well as at least yearly MRI/Cat-scan recertifications. If you truly have an chronic issue he is great for digging in and helping. If it's not a Chronic issue and you have no documentation to prove your conditions then this Doctor is probably not for you. If you're over medicated and needing help then this doctor is a good choice. I have over 5 years of experience with this Doctor and took issue with the strictness as a new patient so be warned this is not a get what you want practice, it's a get what you minimally need practice as far as medicating. There's no fools here if you are just looking for something short term I wouldn't go to this practice you probably won't be happy with the outcome. Some insurance he takes some he doesn't. BlueCross is not accepted but you can send bill in to BC for reimbursement. Dr. Moon is pretty smart in a lot of areas when it comes to hormone replacement, vitamin deficiency, metabolism, bones, muscle, the back & neck components with pain management. However he is pretty head strong he knows what he knows and you are not going to change his mind. Overall he is a good doctor and cares. He has a lot of special certifications that I have not seen other physicians have in this area.

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***

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.
