As a prior patient of other pain clinics in Birmingham, I can say that unlike the other pill mills,…read moreThe Doleys Clinic staff has been wonderful, helpful, and sincere about finding out why I am in pain and helping me managing it. They offer both homeopathic medicines as well the standard medications. Dr. Jimmeh (who sadly left during COVID) was the most knowledgeable and helpful, she was one of the best pain/neurologist doctors I've seen ever. The staff is always helpful, and easy to work with, Especially when BC/BS messes with medication coverage. Sadly after Dr. Jimmeh left I was put with another doctor, him and I didn't see eye to eye and my confidence in the Doleys clinic lagged. I may have left but I would still very much recommend them as one of the few good pain clinics in the Birmingham area. Just remember, although you are a patient, you are also a customer, so don't be afraid to be assertive and ask questions of your doctors. You will get the best care when you do.

LOL Dr. Varley and all his staff are compassionate and very easy to talk too. Either Online, Portal Use or Calling in making appointments, paying bills, Etc., is very easy. Southern Pain Management offers all the traditional pain/nerve blocks, Radio Frequency Ablasions, Etc; Several new innovative procedures including Ketamine infusion treatments at affordable cost to patients. The science of Ketamine Infusion makes too much sense for insurance companies to my help pay for such a thing. They would much rather pay for pain medicine. To my knowledge insurance pays ZERO MONEY for Ketamine Infusion Treatments. Hunter Chatham, CRNA manages all IV Theropy, he too is excellent, professional and compassionate. You can't go wrong coming to Southern Pain Specialist

I have been seeing Dr. Varley for several months and am very happy with the care I have received…read morethere. He was the only doctor in the Birmingham area who was willing to refill my implanted pain pump. Before finding him, I had to drive to Slidell, LA every month to have it filled. He and his staff work together as a team. It is comforting to see teamwork in one's medical care. They are also very good at what they do, and each one plays a part in your care. I have suffered from hip and thigh pain since I had a defective hip replaced with a non-defective one. I thought that the pain was caused by all the surgery. Thank goodness Dr. Varley had other impressions. He discovered that the pain was emanating from my spine and that Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) was the solution. I had been having it performed on the other side of my spine for several years, with good results. Walking without pain is truly amazing, after suffering with it for so many years. I highly recommend Southern Pain Specialists for anyone with back/spine problems.

My experience with Cahaba Pain and Spine was disappointing…read more I was a patient for approximately six months and did not feel that my concerns were adequately addressed or that there was a proactive approach to managing my pain. Despite ongoing symptoms and significant impacts on my quality of life, progress was limited during my time there. One interaction that particularly stood out involved a nurse practitioner who repeatedly insisted that I maintain eye contact while speaking with him. As a neurodivergent patient, difficulty with eye contact is well documented in my medical records. Rather than accommodating that difference, I felt pressured and uncomfortable during the appointment. Healthcare providers do not have to fully understand every neurodivergent experience, but patients should be treated with respect and without being made to feel that their communication style is a problem. What ultimately confirmed my concerns was that after transferring my care to another pain management practice, more diagnostic work, treatment planning, and meaningful intervention occurred within days than I experienced during six months at Cahaba. Every patient's experience is different, but based on my own, I would not recommend this practice for neurodivergent individuals or for patients seeking a collaborative, proactive approach to pain management.

Doctors are excellent, but the support staff and billing process have been extremely frustrating…read more I received a "First and Final Notice" for a bill more than two years after my visit. Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to reach the billing department. When I called the office for assistance, they were unable to help and simply transferred me back to billing, where no one answers the phone. To make matters worse, the note on the bill threatened collections "Collections have begun". I attempted to pay the balance online, but the Phreesia payment system froze and would not complete the transaction. At this point, I have tried every available option: The billing department does not answer calls. The office staff cannot answer billing questions. Calls are routed back to billing with no resolution. The online payment system is not functioning. The physicians may provide good care, but the administrative and billing experience has been unacceptable. If patients cannot get answers to billing questions or make payments through the available channels, there are serious organizational issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, this experience has earned a well-deserved one-star review.
