Dr. Robert Wailes, MD

I was under Dr. Wailes care for many years for horrific lumbar pain after having a lumbar laminectomy from another doctor. It took a while for him to find just the right spot to do a RF Ablation in the lumbar region. I was completely pain free for 4+ years. Sadly I’ve moved away from the state and have had to find another pain specialist, he is trying to find the right spot to do another ablation in my thoracic area this time. If I still lived in Ca. I would definitely go back to Dr. Wailes.

I think Dr wailes really listens, and with what tools he has, & within the limitations of your particular condition or illness, does all he possibly can do for you. I find his surgery center excellent as well. I’ve had multiple types of nerve blocks there, some with successful outcomes, some not. But the implementation of the procedure was flawless... we just don’t always get the outcome we hope for. Just keep trying, keep working with Dr Wailes, & I believe he can reduce your pain.

I have been seeing Dr Wailes for several years now. He is kind and compassionate, though sometimes rushed. He thoroughly explains treatments, options, pros and cons. He is no-nonsense so if you are a drug seeker, don't waste your time or his, he will see right through you. Pain medicine is not an exact science and what works for one person may not work for another. Dr Wailes will take a patient through the necessary steps to achieve the best pain relief possible for the condition presented.
