EVERYTHING!  I finally visited Dr. Marks. I was opposed to additional pain meds and he agreed. He was sympathetic, focused, and committed to reduce my pain. And the procedures we did worked!  There are no words I have to express my gratitude. He was attentive, and even better... the staff he surrounds himself with are also equally accessible and attentive. The communication is awesome. The vibe of his office is determined but relaxed with total dedication to patient well being.

The injections were quick and smooth (not going to say painless because that would be lying) but if you can't have it a little pain, they have the option for a local and aesthetic. If you are dealing with back or hip pain or pain in general your body, I would highly recommend scheduling a visit through your doctor.

Orthopedist doctor prescribed me Vicodin, and when I asked for an extension, referred me here. Was billed a $160 copay only to be told by the doctor that they don't prescribe opiate/opoid pain medication there, and they could maybe evaluate me to see if my condition was appropriate for Gabapentin. According to her, it's the only thing she can prescribe! Complete referral disconnect, organization name is misleading, no treatment rendered, but they still received my HSA payment. My only options now are supplements and OTC meds - not that they care.

They told her they were so excited for her and confident this this was gonna help and most people find relief the same day others will take a week, but it'll make a drastic difference. My mom lives alone and She had the procedure on a Thursday and it was recommended that I stay with her for the next 24+ hours after the surgery which I did and thank God I did cuz the next (Friday) barely 18 hours after the surgery her legs felt like wet noodles and she fell twice that same day . The second time we had to call ambulance and she went to ER cause she couldn't walk. I left endless messages with the messaging service. And nobody ever called us back. Later found out the clinic is only open till noon on Fridays I mean, why would you perform surgery on the person knowing the next day you're not gonna be available in case something happens Then on Saturday, one of the medical assistance called like he said he would the day of the procedure , to follow up on mom and I told him what happened, but he had no answers for me. I was hoping he'd pass this information along to Dr. Phillips who would in turn call me , especially since my mom ended up in the ER but that never happened After they released my mom from the ER, they had to put her somewhere because she was in no condition to go home so she had to go to skilled rehab Finally on Monday evening, Dr. Phillips called me told me he just found out that day and said It must've been a muscle spasm. So after the surgery on my moms first follow up appointment, she was hoping to talk to Dr. Phillips about what happened once again he was not available. She had to talk to the nurse practitioner Well, it has been three week since my mom's surgery and the promises of oh yes you're gonna feel so much better. We're very hopeful. is gonna work and she's worse than before she went in. Her legs are still very weak. She still has pain so here it is June 29 and I'm trying to get an appointment to find out why what we can do about it but guess. Nothing on schedule until July 30 she's gotta wait another entire month of pain and suffering. What a disappointment to first of all give her false hope by saying how confident they are that shes gonna feel so much better and then end up with complications afterwards and then almost a month still feel the same if not worse and nobody over there cares. Still can't believe the surgeon never called her to follow up on her and even knowing she had these complication afterwards didn't even bother to show up at her 1st Follow up appointment but had his nurse regurgitate whatever it was what to say to my mom

The entire staff is professional, caring, attentive, and knows the value of outstanding patient care. The pre-surgical staff explains everything clearly, and in great detail. The operating room staff are keenly aware of how anxious patients like me can be, and are experts at making me feel comfortable and relaxed. The waiting room is furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs. The entire facility is modern, and meticulously clean. I will never hesitate to return because of the quality care I consistently receive. In fact, I'll have another procedure that will be completed within the month, and am actually looking forward to the relief it might provide. If you're looking for pain management that is the best, PSA is the place to go.

I grew up in Texas the son of a scientist, and was raised in an intellectually rich environment in…read morewhich reading, research, facts and truth were held in high regard--in direct contrast to the astounding horror of our age in which the current power structure of idiot-based disinformation has allowed the term "alternative facts" to leak into our lexicon. I inherited what I call my father's Query Engine Mind, which has served me well in becoming a writer and a published author whose non-fiction book on UFOs has been selling steadily on Amazon for five years on April 9th. My research skills have also enabled me to scope out the best in their fields, which came in handy when I recently re-injured a herniated disc at L4-5 (which apparently is a more complex mess now than it was 25+ years ago when the snow skiing accident started it all), and I have lucked into a superb operation called the Greater Austin Pain Center. When Dr. Alan Silberberg walked into the consultation room, shook my hand, sat down and opened with, "I've studied your MRI images carefully, and you're in a real pickle here, buddy," I knew I'd met my doctor. He radiates intelligence the way my Dad did, and he's extremely blunt and direct and doesn't sugarcoat the facts--all the elements I need in a doctor for me to feel confident I'm in good hands. We've taken the approach of doing spinal epidurals (the same treatment that was very effective for me with the original injury), and I had my first session this week. I was face down on an operating table, so I can't visually describe what was done, but I can say that the needles weren't artlessly jammed into my lower back, they were slowly finessed into the damaged areas, and the steroid/pain killer mix was injected slowly and then with a more steady progression. The artful skill being utilized here was quite noticeable and greatly appreciated, and it clearly minimized the application pain (I chose no sedation). This doctor's impressive online CV most definitely matches his performance. Dr. Silberberg is surrounded by a top-notch staff of clinical professionals and front end office people, mostly an all-female crew. I've encountered nothing but friendly and polite helpfulness from everybody, both on the phone and in person. If they can maintain their level of excellence, friendliness and efficiency across the board, then I hope they corner the market here in Central Texas. My Dad often said, "The cream always rises to the top." Dr. Alan Silberberg and his crew have proven this to me. If you're a self-paying client like I am, this is the Go-To Team for you. They treat me great, and they've impressed me beyond words. I got lucky the day I found them.

I will provide a follow-up after my first procedure (coming soon). The location is easy to access, and has ample parking. The facility is modern and clean. So far, definitely 5 stars. If you (and I sincerely hope not) discover a need for nerve pain relief, I recommend PPofTX. Be sure to say "howdy" to the lovely ladies Beverly, Annie, and Ellen. :D

They did not say what I could and couldn't do, just very general statements. I would not recommend this procedure as it was wasted time and money. The doctor would not talk to me after the procedure, only his assistants.

I was given an amount much lower than my supposed total (which had included balance billing and significantly higher charges)-I paid cash to end it. THEN old claims previously processed as Out of Network (and part of my payment above) were resubmitted by "someone" as In Network, so this clinic collected double. NOT NICE.

I was informed he would not recommend or prescribed anything until after the MRI. There was zero concern for my pain nor any follow-up after I did the MRI which showed several issues. MY GP saw the MRI and stated that my pain must be intense and it was. Dr. Mancera obviously did not care about the pain due to his lack of follow-up or willingness to prescribe anything else but a medication that after research I did not feel safe taking. I felt unheard and uncared for. I would not recommend.

Really not a particularly good practice…read more I had a few procedures done to relieve some chronic back pain subsequent to surgery. Although they seemed to know what they were doing, I didn't get very much relief. Billing was an absolute nightmare however. I got bills that didn't make any sense. Spent hours and hours trying to get it straightened out. After months of tremendous frustration, they got a woman who was actually able to help with it. They had made several BIG mistakes (billing twice for the same thing, etc.), that were always in THEIR favor. Eventually, got it squared away (I ended up owing over $2,000 less than they were trying to get from me). By then treatment was complete and their new "suggestions" weren't terribly helpful (for instance, a $2,500 back brace which wouldn't allow me to sit in my chair at work). Just not very good at what they do and terrible at billing. I'm very glad that I'm not dealing with them anymore. There are plenty of other really good Pain Management Practices around.
