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.

Wait times are extremely long
I have been a patient of Dr. Batson for several years. His treatments have been mostly helpful and I find him to be a kind and caring physician. However, I am increasingly frustrated with the long delays in the waiting room, which I find unacceptable. On my last two visits, I waited over an hour for a 30 second procedure. I was there yesterday, after my appointment having been canceled the day before, and the waiting room was absolutely full with nowhere to sit. I had to wait in my car. My last number of visits have been with his PA, who is delightful, but I would think that wait times would be diminished since the PA is taking over many duties, including injections. I understand that Dr. Batson may want to help as many patients as possible, but overbooking does no one any favors. Unfortunately, I will be looking for another pain doctor due to this issue.

Kind, competent, and compassionate!
I was referred here due to my leg being swollen from the knee down for over a month and no one quite knowing why. Br. Batson's assistant met with me first; he was kind, respectful and asked all of the necessary questions. Prior to coming in, the assistant shared the info with Dr. Batson so I did not have to repeat all of the answers again (love that). Dr. Batson examined me, took x-rays and scheduled an appt to have my knee aspirated and a steroid shot. The morning after the aspiration and shot, Dr. Batson personally called me to find out how I was feeling. I was happy to report the swelling was already down and the pain was gone. Dr. Batson also sent the fluid to the lab. When I went to the follow-up appointment, the lab results indicated I had gout. So thankful Dr. Batson was so thorough. I HIGHLY recommend him and his practice!

Dr Batson and all his staff are excellent. He is very through, does not rush your appointments and explains all options to treat your problem. All injections are done under X-ray. I would highly recommend him.

Not ever will I take my handicapped daughter to this man again. She suffers from 2 rare back issues. I felt he did not listen, or took my concerns seriously. I wanted to get her of the narcotics safely, without her getting sick. I had to insist on a MRI, she recently lost bladder control. Same thing happened to her before she beca,e paralyzed. He is in the wrong field. Coroner, would be more up his ally.

He is a miracle worker. I had an intense pain of my shoulder, near the area of my clivacal. On my visit to him, an x-ray was taken, and then with a form of x-ray, he was able to perfectly inject the right side of my neck. All of my pain was gone in two days, just as he said it would be. I had been treated by Dr. Batson previousy, but not for that problem. In the meantime I had recolated and had to drive,one way, two hundred and fifty miles for his treatment. It well worth it.

I have been very pleased with Dr. Batson and all of his staff. They are all so kind and helpful. I think Dr. Batson is very proficient in his treatments, and he works meticulously yet gently to make the injection experience as comfortable for the patient as possible. The entire atmosphere of his office is very comfortable. The assistants are kind and helpful. The girls at the front desk are so sweet. I was impressed by my visits to his practice, and it is highly likely that I will return.

Dr Batson has impressed me from my first visit ten years ago. He gives as much time as needed is extremely thorough and precise in explaining the situation and options.In my case I have had great results from epidural injections in my upper discs area. These shoots have kept me pain free for long periods of time and able to play tennis four times a week. I can’t over state my level of confidence in Dr Batson. Roger Soens 10/19/17
