LOL Dr. Varley and all his staff are compassionate and very easy to talk too. Either Online, Portal Use or Calling in making appointments, paying bills, Etc., is very easy. Southern Pain Management offers all the traditional pain/nerve blocks, Radio Frequency Ablasions, Etc; Several new innovative procedures including Ketamine infusion treatments at affordable cost to patients. The science of Ketamine Infusion makes too much sense for insurance companies to my help pay for such a thing. They would much rather pay for pain medicine. To my knowledge insurance pays ZERO MONEY for Ketamine Infusion Treatments. Hunter Chatham, CRNA manages all IV Theropy, he too is excellent, professional and compassionate. You can't go wrong coming to Southern Pain Specialist

I have been seeing Dr. Varley for several months and am very happy with the care I have received…read morethere. He was the only doctor in the Birmingham area who was willing to refill my implanted pain pump. Before finding him, I had to drive to Slidell, LA every month to have it filled. He and his staff work together as a team. It is comforting to see teamwork in one's medical care. They are also very good at what they do, and each one plays a part in your care. I have suffered from hip and thigh pain since I had a defective hip replaced with a non-defective one. I thought that the pain was caused by all the surgery. Thank goodness Dr. Varley had other impressions. He discovered that the pain was emanating from my spine and that Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) was the solution. I had been having it performed on the other side of my spine for several years, with good results. Walking without pain is truly amazing, after suffering with it for so many years. I highly recommend Southern Pain Specialists for anyone with back/spine problems.

It seems like people here hate their lives. Stay far far away from this garbage establishment.

I do think he is. He laid out a plan, starting with steroid injections in my hands, which I wanted and agreed to. They informed me that I would be seeing the NP after my initial visit, which I expected. 2nd visit in RAN Regis. She is a sorry excuse for a medical professional, and a liar! She had not read the chart. She asked, what hurts in a hurry. In the past month I had COVID for 16 days, followed by a current Lupus flare and the ever present RA, which I explained and asked for a steroid dose pack to which she replied, we never prescribe steroids. Umm, ok??? Next thing I know I am being ushered out to be scheduled for an ablation for my neck, post 4 level cervical fusion in 2017. When I asked questions, she said they would give me a paper explaining, which it did not. Later after researching lead me to "oh hell no"! I then saw Dr Searcy in the hallway, he asked how I was, I quickly told him of the Lupus flare and need for a dose pack, told him Regis said never, looking puzzled he called in the RX for me?? Regis lies, she put me down for a very expensive procedure, which I canceled and scheduled the injection in my hand which Dr Searcy administered. I told him my thoughts. He replied that the NPs are their own providers there? They don't work for him and evidently not WITH HIM. The injection did more harm and NO good. I wonder what was on that syringe?? What a nightmare!!! DONT GO!

Run don't walk away from this place and never look back. If you are young and healthy and have…read moreinjured yourself and just need help getting over the injury then yes the cortisone injections and RF ablations can help you until your young healthy body heals its self. If you are older or have a degenerative condition such as spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease these treatments will do nothing and done too frequently can actually do more damage by accelerating the degeneration. FYI RF ablations started 100 years ago and then later started incorporating the scope to view what they were doing. Steroids use started in or around the late 1920s and early 30s by German doctors. Later they discovered that steroids are two basic types. One makes your muscles grow fast and can make you retain fluids. the second is basically cortisone which they discovered can reduce swelling but will do little else. The block they give give you to test before they will perform the ablation is lidocaine which will stop the pain for around 24 hours but can't be used long term or it will destroy the tissue. Pleas look all this up for yourself before paying them crazy money for 100 year old medicine just so they will give you the pain meds you need. Once they have bilked you for a few months demanding you get this "new technology treatment" or no meds they will send you a termination letter with no explanation saying they will no longer treat you. In other words they have your money so see you later sucker. I watched a doctor mock a poor woman who was in bad pain because he didn't know I was there to see it. Does that sound like compassion? When I complained about what I saw and their treatment plan for me I received a termination letter within three days. If you can possibly afford it go to Florida to any clinic other than Dynamic and get Stem Cell treatments followed by PRP injections. These will actually heal you!

Instead of just handing me a prescription for pain medication, Dr. Oglesby offered me a trial for a Spinal Cord Stimulator. I have used that for about 7 years now.

I am amazed at how well it works for me! I highly recommend Dr. Oglesby to anyone who is dealing with Chronic pain anywhere! In addition to Spine Surgery pain, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, I have severe pain in numerous areas of my body.
