This is the second Pain Management practice I've been to in Rochester and it's just awful. For some…read morereason it came highly recommended (Dr. Nemani did, but I was never allowed to schedule with him. Only Sarah, the Physicians Assistant I think, and Dr. Ng for injections). The staff is rude and incompetent. They treat you as though you're interrupting them instead of helping you schedule, check in/out, etc. The wait time is always excessive, even when you arrive early (I've had between 10-20 appts here and have never waited less than 20 minutes from my scheduled time just to get into an exam room). At my initial visit I explained that I was dissatisfied with my previous Pain Mgmt Dr because all he did was administer injections after injections, that were of little to no relief. Dr. Ng's solution was more injections. When I came in for the appt., after waiting almost 40 minutes I was finally taken to the procedure room with Dr. Ng and an Assistant/Nurse (not sure what her title was, but she was actually very sweet and supportive). As he asked about my specific issues, without warning he stuck me in the neck 6 times with needles. When he was done (even though I hadn't answered his question yet) he told me the Assistant would help me and he walked out. He was in the room a total of 90 seconds at the most. After a serious of failed injections, failed medications, failed physical therapy and a worsening condition, they finally admitted they had no idea what was wrong or how to help and referred me to a neurosurgeon (that also didn't help). I also received a TENS unit as part of my treatment through this office. It was a big help except I had to buy my own replacement pads (which I was told would be provided monthly) and when it malfunctioned it took a months worth of calls to the office, the local reps and the corporate office. Still no resolution. I shouldn't be surprised, when they set the appt for me to pick up the unit they set it at their Culver office. I showed up 15 minutes early and the office was closed. The rep was in the hallway and we had to do the appt right there. SUPER PROFESSIONAL!

I would recommend this treatment for anyone who has sciatica. The staff he works with are friendly and compassionate. They let my husband stay with me as long as possible. The additional staff explained everything to me in detail and were friendly and too the time to answer my questions. The nurses were there the minute I woke up asking if I needed anything. They were attentive to every need I had and continually checked on me. The facility was clean and comfortable. My overall experience was excellent. I wouof give them a five star rating! Please keep the same staff with him. They work so good together!

Uncaring, unknowledgeable, untrained, uneducated, zero bedside manners. They have no idea how to view/find your records, then say they just don't exist and you don't have any existing issues. Prescribe pain solutions picked out of thin air. This is not a joke. This is what really happens at this location. Does this pain clinic ever get audited for how they treat their patients. Urmc no longer sends out after visit surveys so they obviously know how bad it is and they just don't care. They just want your money, they could care less about your well being.

This review is over a year in the making. When I first met Mike I told him I wanted to review him…read moreon Yelp. I mean really, where else would you turn for fair and honest client centered reviews? Like all men though, he had to come to the idea in his own good time... Not on the advice of a woman. So when he finally updated this Yelp profile to reflect his current address and information he asked me if I would leave the review. A little about me and how I got "broken" leading me to Mike... I've been in. EMS for 28 years. That's 28 years of abuse on my body picking up sick people, carrying them out of buildings on non-ergonomically friendly contraptions, riding in ambulances and generally being not so good to myself. On average I would say every EMS worker suffers some form of an injury at least once or twice a year, be it back injury or otherwise. It's just the nature of the job. I was in an ambulance wreck about 10 years ago, where I was thrown from the back of the ambulance to the front, landing on the controls of the siren. Additionally, I had a VERY traumatic epidural placement during my c-section t the age of 41, with multiple punctures to the lumbar region, a gigantic hematoma over the site, and scar tissue formation. I have seen multiple chiropractors, craniotomy-sacral therapists, pain management clinics, and of course, massage therapists. A wise chiropractor knows that their work is complimented with other therapies, and thus, a referral was made to Mike. I began seeing him about 18 months ago, when my neck and back were particularly bad. I had been seeing a massage therapist once a week for almost a year and had come to the end of my progress with her. Mike treats my condition with a combination of manual therapy and traditional massage. He listens to me, incorporating my thoughts on treatment with his expertise. He was open to the idea of trying a CBD topical treatment into my massage when I brought it in and has subsequently incorporated it into his everyday practice. I can't tell you all of the exact techniques he uses, but suffice it to say he has tried a wealth of options on me. His primary focus has been my neck, but he has also worked on problem spots, such as my thumb when I have been a little too vigorous on the texting. There isn't a problem that I have brought to him that he has been unable to help. However, he has been respectful of my boundaries, as I have been unwilling to allow him to work on the incurred scar tissue in my lumbar back from the epidurals. Mike is a therapist that really listens to you and your desired outcome. Yeah, sure, a case could be made for the outcome to always be less pain, but sometimes it is greater flexibility or increased range of motion, both of which I have asked of him and he has been able to deliver. If I could give one piece of information to new clients, he is not a relaxation massage therapist. While he CAN do it, you'd be wasting his talent for problem solving and delivering excellent, focused care. I wish I had found him 10 years ago when I was first in the accident! Feel free to message me for specific questions!

Mike Riley listened to me and asked questions to pinpoint exactly where my pain was. My headaches were gone after 2 sessions and my neck and shoulder pain have decreased tenfold.

Beyond great, Dr. Zhao healed me of two major problems when we were both in Ithaca. Western…read moremedicine elsewhere (these 2 are trained to US standards in addition to traditional ) had given me useless inhalers. Then, a professor referred me to Dr. Zhao and her sister who together got me healing. Later, on crutches for months, I was treated by them with immediate results. I'd go across country for treatment by either sister. Some office visits required more time and more approaches, but the visit cost the same regardless and was reasonable for me, a grad' student. Their philosophy of healing, their approach with patience and dignity, is healing in itself. Lighter story: Once, they gave me herbs to soak and drink for a nasty cold. Next visit, they said: "You're still sick! You didn't take your medicine!" "How did you know I didn't?""Because you're still sick!"

Dr. Zhao is a compassionate, highly trained professional! I highly recommend her. I have gone to…read moreher for about 8 years....it is just so healing for me. If you are reading this....you might be in pain, frustrated, weak....wondering why you are "stuck." If you want to try accupuncture, you need to know that Dr. Zhao was a top medical doctor in China and has over 20 years experience here, even teaching at a nearby chiropractic school. I would really recommend a real Chinese person, especially a doctor for this type of medicine....she can give you so much background that westerners cannot. This is not western medicine, this is a different culture/philosophy, so please acknowledge that. She works by herself and does everything herself; she has no receptionist to answer calls or do paperwork (this lowers the office rates). So chances are when you call her, she is currently working. It is easier to ask your questions and understand the treatments either by going to her website or stopping in, if you can, to ask her. She has a strong Chinese accent and it may be harder to understand over the phone. The best part is, when you come to her, you have her all to yourself for at least an hour, usually $65.00. Insurance doesn't usually cover accupuncture....but think of it, an hour for consultation and treatment....so thorough. You can talk to her about anything you want, she has so much experience, so many suggestions and will customize the treatments to YOU. She also can provide herbs and supplements fairly inexpensively. She is one of my favorite practitioners of all time. She is super patient, knowledgeable and very supportive. You may or may not "feel" immediate results after your first visit: please don't give up. This is a process that involves much more than just showing up and getting needles....it is a whole philosophy (including nutrition, sleep, relaxation, allergies, etc) to help your healing journey.
