Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Don't bother
What good is a pain management doctor who doesn't handle your pain and refuses to give you medications that will actually help? Not this guy.

Pain management doctor that cares
This doctor is the real deal. He’s honest and tries to help but sometimes the insurance companies make it hard but he still works to make you happy. This is a shame the pain management they’re not more doctors like him.

Find another Dr.
Talks down to people like he's God. If you stand up for urself you will come in one visit and be told your urine came up positive for drugs and writes you your last script and throws you out w not showing proof of a bad drug test. I don't even use illicit drugs. I felt so violated. Do not trust this Dr.

My appointment with this arrogant doctor was a complete waste of time and my copayment!! He doesn’t even take time to listen to you. In fact, he’s very lucky he had a young female student with him on Monday; otherwise I would have told him exactly what I thought of him and his desire to do harm not good. He is just another so-called pain management doctors that wants to fill you full of steroids, which destroys your bones causing you to need hip or knee replacement surgery. Our own blood can be used to heal us but the insurance companies and big phama don’t want us to be healed! He gives the name physician a bad name. Don’t waste your time or money!!
