As a SEVERE I.P. (Intractable Pain) patient, thus far, Dr Chapman has scored highest marks, IMHO. He is one of the nicest persons I've ever met - not just one of the nicest DRS. His bedside manner is second to none. I believe he truly cares about the well being of his patients and i believe he is genuinely compassionate - not phony or putting on a facade. My wife went to him for two years before I asked him if he'd be willing to take on my case - which is very complex/complicated at the least.

I don't know what type of practice this is but it's not one where you meet the doctor. I saw his shoes once and will never again. Pain is a serious problem and I can't find anyone to explain to me what is wrong!

Dr. Chapman is a wonderful and compassionate doctor who not only helps alleviate my pain but is also the one to diagnose my multiple myeloma through a biopsy of my vertebrate in the area I had my pain!!!! Thank God for him. It is comforting to know he takes the extra step. Who knows how long before I had been diagnosed if it wasn't for him. Dr. Chapman does not hesitate to try different options to make sure I am comfortable enduring my chemotherapy. I wouldn't trade this doc for the world!!!!

I have had an interenting experience with Dr. Chapo! Although he does not meet with me in a regular basis, he has helped me a lot. I usually see different NPs/nurses and they have been super helpful.
Dr. Chapman has identified the best clinical interventions to manage my spine pains.
Millions of thanks to friendly staff too!

I experience low back & nerve pain to inner, outer & sometimes back of my thigh. MRI revealed severe stenosis. Dr. Chapman treated me successfully for 10 yrs. before I consented to a fusion of L4, L5. I continue to see Chapman for intermittent relief. A caring, understanding & resourceful physician who will not hesitate &recommend alternative treatment when his is not providing adequate relief. Also, he & his staff explain my treatment protocol & what to expect in a user-friendly manner.

Dr. Chapman is a life saver when it comes to my back pain. His bed side manner was humble and considerate. I had received the proper treatment according to my findings and have been feeling better after only just a few injections. I would recommend my closest family and friends to his office. I had a great experience in his office considering the great amount of pain I had came in with. Top notch doctor and am grateful for being referred to his office.
