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.

My experience has been excellent, very helpful. I have been treated with dignity and respect compared to the 3 other pain management offices I have been to. Overall I really feel like they spend as much time as I need and I never feel rushed.

My pain is improved and I find relief every 8-9 months. Scheduling is very easy and quick, easy to get in. I do not feel rushed and I get all my answers to my questions. I would recommend the practice to others.

I have seen Dr. Tom many times and have found him to be very kind, professional, and capable. The office staff and his NPs are very competent and personable as well. Although I have not gotten permanent relief from pain, he is willing to keep trying something else. I am grateful Dr. Tom does not push narcotics and is willing to keep trying to give me relief (unlike a few negative patient comments stated earlier). I would highly recommend him.

After almost a full year of suffering from a misdiagnosis of my lower back pain, I was referred to Dr. Tom. After my tests, I was presented with all my options, and during my procedures, he and his staff were always professional, efficient, and kind . Dr. Tom answered all questions, before and after my two procedures, plus, to prevent confusion, he explained how my insurance would handle my claim. Now, I am pain free, and I eagerly recommend him and his staff. Thank you, Dr. Tom!

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tom?
I found Dr,Tom to be the answer to stopping almost 2 years of constant pain. We worked out a plan and through his injection techniques I have found a much needed respite from pain that plagued me waking and sleeping. Dr. Tom and all of his staff were professional and caring. I had had other injections that did not achieve results and in short order left me again feeling pain.

Dr. Tom's office was extremely professional. His program for my epidurals was great. Other providers could not seem to find out what was wrong with me until I came to see Dr. Tom.
Dr. Tom provided me with the information I needed and did not just give me medication. He identified all my problems through an MRI.
Dr. Tom and his staff are great, I would highly recommend my friends and family to see Dr. Tom
