    I started seeing Dr Haider and Dr Sherafat around 2004 for a Workers Comp QME treating physician…read more Within the past 13 years, I have rarely ever had to wait more than 15 minutes for my followup appointments or treatments. The Haider Spine Center (HSC) was the first facility to pursue all conservative less invasive therapies in my circumstance. Other spine orthopaedic surgeons before seeing Dr Haider were all too anxious to perform invasive surgery. Because of HSC's pool therapy, physical therapy and Dr Sherafat's chiropractic expertise, I have been able to manage my lumbar pain and limit the progress of my spine issues. Dr Haider is known for his innovative technological advancements in spinal surgery techniques. He also travels the world teaching those techniques to other spine surgeons. I have the utmost confidence with the Haider team if it ever comes to the day that I might need surgery. The PA's are knowledgeable and polite. Staff seems pleasant except for busy days which is understandable. If you are faced with the possibility of having any spine surgery, I highly recommend HSC for your primary or second opinion. Explore and exhaust as many conservative options first. Don't become some other surgeon's new Mercedes.

    Of the dozens of physicians and specialists I have seen over the last 20 years, Dr Cramer is by far…read morethe most uncaring, useless and discourteous I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. This entire operation revolves around generating income from surgery. If you are not a candidate for surgery, or have had prior surgeries, in my opinion you will be wasting your time. Just a big waste of time, only to be treated so poorly. On a positive note, however, the office staff was very courteous.

This facility is SO MUCH better than other physical therapy places. All the Dr.'s & the staff are very knowledgable & friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable & they really help you heal quicker. When my daughter needed PT, I told her to try this place & she was so impressed. She was in so much pain it hurt her to walk. Within 3 visits she could walk again. MY daughter put it very well when she said these Dr's help you get your life back & it actually helped her family, because now she could be the Mom she needed to be. She could take the kids to a park or push them on a swing. I highly recommend Prime. Therapy & pain center & I would not go anywhere else.

    I have suffered neck/shoulder pain far longer than I should have. Having to pay out of pocket and…read moredoubts that PT would actually work, I finally overcome those barriers and payed them a visit. Even after the first visit, I noticed decreased pain. After six weeks of therapy, most discomfort is gone and when it does come back, it doesn't linger and leaves fairly quickly. It has been over a couple of decades since feeling this good. I been able to increase the duration and variety of my workouts. My concern now is well the PT hold for the long term? And before I forger, Dr. Mike and staff are great people to work with.

Find out after waiting am hour that the appointment was actually at 4 (again they tell you earlier time to do paperwork) and doc is running about 45 min late. So best case scenario will be here 1:15 to be seen. Didn't budget this much time. Don't come early for your appointment. My mistake is that I valued their time. The consideration is not mutual.

He then comes in and Bragg's about all the work he done but refuses to do surgery at Riverside Community. Screw him.

    I have been coming to Dr. Uppal since 2012 and I think he is an amazing doctor. He did everything…read morehe could for me so that I did not have to go through surgery which is a rare find because most doctors would just rush to surgery for the money. After exhausting all options, I did have to have surgery and he was very supportive, discussed all potential problems as well as benefits that came with it since I have a young child. He also let me know if I ever had any problems with the hardware to let him know and we could discuss that down the road. Two years later I ended up having the hardware removed and again doctor Uppal was great. He checked up on me after the surgery, again not something most doctors do, it is usually put off on someone else. When it comes to medication he is always looking out for me and making sure that I am not getting hooked on opioids but that I am still comfortable in my daily life. I appreciate this because again he could just toss meds at me and send me on my way to speed things up but he doesn't because he actually cares about his patients. As far as the comment regarding a personal phone call, stuff happens and when you are not just a doctor, but a person with other obligations that need to be taken care of then sometimes people have to accept that and wait a little bit. Even if I had to wait a couple hours in the waiting room again for a non med refill day due to needing another surgery from this man, it would be worth the wait! I highly recommend Dr. Uppal!!

    We had an excellent experience at Scolismart! Dr. Dovorany is very professional and knowledgeable…read moreabout scoliosis and ways to improve it. We were very impressed with the methods used as well as the technology and research to back it up. The scoliosis boot camp is a worthwhile investment and we are highly confident these exercises will result in a higher quality of life and excellent outcomes for my daughter.

    I first heard about the 4 ScoliSMART clinics (WI, MI, NY, PA) by joining a Scoliosis Warriors…read moreFacebook group that is administered by Clayton Stitzel, a chiropractor at the PA clinic. I have been following the page looking for advice and info on different treatment methods. Clayton has a clear agenda of pushing his clinic, and that is fine, but wow, he has been rude, unprofessional, and dare I say inappropriate at times. What finally did it for me was when I witnessed a FB user comment that she would love to come to a ScoliSMART clinic, but financially she is not able to travel.-She stated she felt Schroth could be helpful for some people as it has helped her due to no other options at the moment. Clayton's response was " Take the red pill...Living in harsh reality is better than blissful ignorance." Apparently this is the way ScoliSMART doctors talk to their potential future patients! A different FB user, who must've been as miffed by this as I was, chimed in stating, "Why make the comment about a little red pill and blissful ignorance? You had a pretty good article supporting your program, then you ruined it with your mouthy comments. I wonder if the other ScoliSMART clinic facilitators are aware of how you promote the product and belittle people in the name of it?" to which Clayton replied "I really don't have time for individuals who openly chose to be overly opinionated and under educated. Thus, my sharp tongue response to her intellectual laziness." Later he stated, "Sigh...I entertain many of these hopelessly unproductive conversations in an effort for people to go through the discovery process of learning, but sometimes you just got to give them the answers." I'm having a hard time understanding why he is facilitating this group if all of our conversations are just "hopeless". Apparently we're all idiots and our conversations are unproductive. And he has given no answers or scientific evidence that his method works. After a year of this, I couldn't take it anymore. I have been in contact with Dr. Dovorany, the chiropractor from the WI clinic, as I had been thinking about pursuing treatment there. I sent him a message with the above info and told him that Clayton's aggressive responses are a complete turn-off. If Clayton is THAT passionate about what he is doing, he needs either a softer edge or to have someone else administer the group as people are leaving and ScoliSMART is losing potential business. If he is that passionate about making a sale, he is in this for the wrong reasons. Either way, he is not representing ScoliSMART's objective well at all. This is only one example, but from being in the group for a year or so, I have seen him lash out at people numerous times. I heard back from Dr. Dovorany who stated he disagreed with me, accused me of being overly-emotional, and that he supports Clayton 100%". Apparently this e-mail to Green Bay has since made it's way back to Clayton as I have been deleted from the group (which I was going to leave anyway). I have never encountered such holier-than-thou attitudes. ScoliSMART just lost my business and I thought everyone should know how they treat their future potential patients who need understanding and support, not insults and unprofessionalism. Comments from other Facebook group members include: -Clayton is the epitome of ignorant and arrogant all smashed together. I would NEVER think of going to a Scolismart clinic strictly because he makes it seem like it's just a business. -We had a very long conference call with Clayton trying to decide if it was right for our daughter. When we starting asking questions about statistics on his practice and outcomes from his patients that were a similar age to our daughter he didn't answer and when we asked again he said he was far to busy to keep records. To us that was a huge red flag! -I left the group months ago because it's very one sided and got too negative for me. That method may work for some but that man is unbelievable! -He is one of the worst people I have ever encountered. Disgusting human! When you can't ask legitimate medical questions to someone without them being offended, you know things are not right! -Clayton is ignorant. He is horribly rude with his comments as he was to me (I was 14 when I talked to him) He is a man that is cruel to not only parents of scoli patients but also to scoli patients! STAY AWAY! He is not straight forward with anybody! -Hearing his name makes my skin crawl. He is VILE and certainly no scoliosis warrior. He has no understanding of how scoliosis actually feels, how much pain it can cause or how if affects people mentally. The only thing that man achieves is a larger bank balance. He disgusts me! -I found him very abrasive and confrontational I could type more about their bullying behavior but Yelp limits the length of reviews! HORRIBLE "doctors" with inflated ego's and zero ethics.
