I don't return to offices where that's the Norm rather than th exception. Its clean. A decent selection of reading material. I generally see Dr Kola as I'm a long established patient.

They can answer almost anything you need to know, and often do yet they still bring it up to the Dr. for the final word. I can highly recommend this office for pain control, and injury assessment, and care.

I moved from VA to FL recently and needed to find someone to continue my pain and spine treatment…read more I had Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in VA and needed to find a doctor in FL to administer the RFA again as my neck really began to hurt again. I asked repeatedly for them to obtain my records from my previous doctor so they would know where to do the ablation again (not entirely their fault as my previous doctor's office was unresponsive for weeks). Prior to getting the records they gave me facet join injections as a diagnostic measure to see where they needed to do the RFA again. Mind you the doctor simply looked at me to make this determination and did no examination of me. Didn't even feel my neck or back. Anyway, the injections did nothing. I feel worse in fact. I have called repeatedly for weeks for a muscle relaxer to be called in until I can have the RFA again and no one will call me back. I don't understand why you would administer a diagnostic procedure before checking my records to see where I had the RFA done before (since that actually worked). Anyway I'm going to have to find a new spine and pain doctor in FL. Also, when I called to cancel my next appointment and told them I wasn't happy with their treatment up to this point the receptionist said okay, well we wish you luck. Didn't even ask why. Goes to show they are used to this kind of thing.

Dr. L.K. Valente was referred to me by Dr. Robert Getter, M.D., Spine Specialist. I have been in…read moreexcruciating pain and was unable to get an appointment right away but Dr. Getter got me in as soon as possible. He contacted Dr. Valente before he started his hours and said he needed to see me urgently for an injection procedure as soon as possible and sent me right over to him. Dr. Valente gave me his utmost attention and explained everything he was going to do. He also said the procedure might not work but it might also work but he couldn't promise it would. He also gave prescription medicine for nerve pain to help. This day was not a normal day for procedures so he had to gather staff to assist with the procedure. He is an excellent doctor in explaining everything and works well with Dr. Getter. I feel I really lucked out with two very good doctors and I hope more people will review both of these doctors in the future. Neither of these doctors was listed on Yelp and I felt the need to list them. Not all doctors or centers are perfect and I hope people will keep in mind when writing a review. It is not fair to make a bad judgment or remark because no person or company is perfect.

I went for my first appointment, to get started, and the doctor was not empathetic, and refused to prescribe anything for me. They could not review my chart because their internet was down. I was treated like an addict. The staff were all lovely, but I am very disappointed with the doctor. He ordered an MRI, which I'm waiting to have scheduled. I've never had withdrawals, but I'm terrified. He walked out whole I was talking to him. I am hoping this gets addressed quickly. I've had ablations, multiple ESI'S and surgeries, therapy over the years. They help, but only in conjunction with my meds. Very disappointed. I hope this works out before I become sick! Cindy Elko
