I was referred to Dr. Stapleton by my surgeon pre and post surgery for epidural steroid injections. Scheduling was a breeze compared to other specialists office. I was seen within a week of my phone call with an appointment that worked with my schedule by a Nurse Practitioner. My treatment worked wonders, it allowed me to stay off RX and allowed me the pain relief I needed to complete physical therapy. Dr. Stapleton was kind and put me at ease. I would return in a heart beat if needed!

This office is the most unprofessional place I've ever visited. The staff are rude, to say the least and have zero common courtesy for the patients. My first visit, I showed up on time, as expected of me. They kept me waiting for 2 hours, before I was finally seen. For a pre scheduled appointment! During that wait, not one staff member checked on me or updated me with a wait time. My follow up visit today was no different. Left waiting, with no explanation. They think your time isn't important.

I was seen by a nurse practitioner. Based on imaging (MRI and spinal films) and history, I decided to try an epidural steroid injection as opposed to surgery after experiencing 6 months of increasing back, hip and leg pain which interfered with all of my daily activities. I met Dr. Stapleton at the injection appointment and he answered my questions. My experience as a Neurosurg RN years ago helped my understanding of the whole process so I cannot speak for those without any medical background.

I was so scared - and in a lot of pain-when I first walked in Dr. Stapleton’s office, but the staff and nurses were so kind, reassuring and professional that they put my mind at ease.
During the procedure Dr. Stapleton kept me distracted with tales of his travels; i almost forgot why I was there... of course the truth serum helped a little.

Can’t understand the 2.9 rating. He is an excellent dr. He is very congenial, answers questions fully, is very caring and has done several procedures on me. Some of them not successful but not his fault. I would certainly recommend him and all of his staff. All very helpful and kind.

I have been in for a shot twice. Both times the experience was excellent. Everyone was nice and helpful. They acted like I was their only patient. There was no place to improve.

I just had an injection this afternoon. Too early to tell how well it works. Dr. Stapleton and the staff were very friendly and professional. I am hoping for the best.

Nice guy. Had cervical radiculopathy going down the right arm. Injection worked great the last time. Best money i'd ever spent since PT wasn't quite cutting it. Had another one yesterday, about 2 years from the last one and crossing my fingers. Painful? A bit but it's a big needle jabbing into my neck and sort of expected. I'd prefer to avoid these injections but life happens. Would be nice to get a quicker appointment but that's more of an insurance thing.

It is impossible to communicate at all with scheduling staff and it felt like running cattle through a slaughter house at the surgery center. Learned nothing at pre op nurses visit, i felt lucky to meet doctor at all. Hit the nerves 3 or 4 times during procedure, which took 5 minutes total.
I will say I did get some relief and he was recommended by my neurosurgeon. Bottom line, don't expect to be treated like human, don't expect it to be pain free. Hope my results last, I don't want to go back.

They only care about pushing injections and do not check back after injections or call patients back. Pain is worse now that before!

Dr. Stapleton is a wonderful doctor & being under his care has changed my life. Before undergoing any procedure & have had a few, he takes the time to talk & ask how you are doing. His manner is calming & puts you at ease. I like his staff, including the care & attention you receive on the day of any scheduled procedure (under anesthesia). The staff is professional, efficient, and very pleasant. I also appreciate the phone follow-up (Cody is particularly nice). Thank you for my exceptional care.

I don't know how Dr. Stapleton is because his staff never scheduled my procedure and would not return calls.
