Patient Comments (13)
Sorry you felt that way. I spent an extensive amount of time with you, your husband, your children and your attorney regarding your husband's injuries and explained that given his score on the opioid risk assessment tool that he is not an ideal candidate for opioids. We tested everything prior to treatments, including all of the RFA's I did. You asked to take the periph nerve stim out and when I scheduled to do so, you cancelled and now are receiving opioids elsewhere. #nopioids
Thanks Sebrina! For your lifestyle and personality, back injuries are not acceptable. I am humbled by your desire to drive 1.5 hrs to get treated by me, given the over 20 pain doctors you passed on the drive to my office, most of whom you've worked with too. Again, I'm humbled by your choice and proud to have you back to being a fitness diva
thanks for the kind words Don! First class patient, first class family! Wish the best for you all! Glad to help.
