Charles J Nivens MD

Dr. Nivens is a lifesaver! Having had some epidural steroid injections in the past has brought great relief and prevented me from having surgery. He will review x-rays and MRI results with a patient, helping you know what is causing your pain. There can be a lengthy wait at times but it is worthwhile.

It took me 3 months to get my refund. The people in the office were rude and never helpful. None of the staff showed up to work on time. Especially, for early morning appointments. Be prepared to wait for 2 or more hours with no explanation in the waiting room and then another hour or so in the exam room. Dr. Nivens constantly had to be reminded of my issue and never had any of my notes from past visits. So I was constantly reminding him of past discussions about his treatment plan for me.

Got first steroid shot today since being briefly paralyzed by a GA. Doctor some seven-years ago. Dr. Nivens uses dye to ensure proper needle/injection placement--the procedure was painless and took less than 30 minutes. I strongly recommend Dr. Nivens!
