This bunch will run you through without a doctor ever having a conversation with you.

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.

Good Legit doctor if you are a Chronic patient or looking for a rehab doctor. Fairly strict…read morerequirements & demanding Doctor. Staff also strictly enforcement of rules, times & Dr. Moons orders. Doesn't really accept any excuses/reasons for being even 1 minute late, reschedule nor not following orders. He will flat cut you off or stop seeing you as a patient if strict orders are not followed. Expect constant drug tests, bloodwork to confirm that you're following orders as well as at least yearly MRI/Cat-scan recertifications. If you truly have an chronic issue he is great for digging in and helping. If it's not a Chronic issue and you have no documentation to prove your conditions then this Doctor is probably not for you. If you're over medicated and needing help then this doctor is a good choice. I have over 5 years of experience with this Doctor and took issue with the strictness as a new patient so be warned this is not a get what you want practice, it's a get what you minimally need practice as far as medicating. There's no fools here if you are just looking for something short term I wouldn't go to this practice you probably won't be happy with the outcome. Some insurance he takes some he doesn't. BlueCross is not accepted but you can send bill in to BC for reimbursement. Dr. Moon is pretty smart in a lot of areas when it comes to hormone replacement, vitamin deficiency, metabolism, bones, muscle, the back & neck components with pain management. However he is pretty head strong he knows what he knows and you are not going to change his mind. Overall he is a good doctor and cares. He has a lot of special certifications that I have not seen other physicians have in this area.

Aaron is very thorough and knowledgeable and I've learned a ton from working with him. I started PT with Aaron to work on an issue I've had with my left arm/elbow for as long as I can remember and to continue to help my core get stronger/more stable after an abdominal surgery earlier this year. My elbow wasn't something that regularly caused pain, but it was irritating and limited certain movements in workouts. I did PT elsewhere immediately after surgery and had improved to the point where I didn't have any specific pain related to that during workouts, but I still wasn't back to the strength/stability I had before, making some movements still pretty difficult. Since working with Aaron, I have seen noticeable improvement during workouts in all the things we've been working on during my sessions + the exercises I'm given to do during the week.

I highly recommend this pain specialist, and I have several reasons why. Yes, I have used his…read moreservices in the past, but my trust in him goes beyond just being a patient. He has also been my anesthesiologist for two of my surgeries, and I have always felt completely comfortable and confident in his care. Before one of my ankle surgeries, he performed a nerve block behind my knee. His bedside manner was exceptional--he was kind, compassionate, professional, and genuinely down-to-earth. He took the time to make sure I was comfortable and understood what was happening. When you have had multiple experiences with a doctor and continue to trust that person with your care, that says a lot. I can honestly say that I have nothing but positive things to say about him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a pain specialist. I have read some of the negative reviews, and honestly, I just can't understand them based on my personal experiences. Everyone's experience is different, of course, but I can only speak from my own--and mine have been very positive. I trust him, I respect him, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends. The only issue I can take part in is when Pain blocks or administered. I am not sure why the patient is left awake every Pain block I have ever received. The patient is in a twilight type sleep.

After…read moreyears of seeing other Orthopedists who gave me no remedy, only filled me with shots, Dr. B finally gave me a SOLUTION for my double valgus knees. At my very first appointment, he said it was time for a Total Knee Replacement and I am so grateful! The other Orthos weren't even long long at my knees, just pumping steroids into my knees to 'get me through', every three months, which was ultimately weakening my bones and making my knock knees worse. Dr. Bramlett is a solutions and action type of guy - he wanted to HELP me, instead of just pass me off like the others. What I like best about Dr. Bramlett is his direct approach and communication, no dancing around the problem, but doing everything he can so I get BETTER and get my life back! I'm two weeks out from my TKR, and I am already walking without a walker - and I am so pleased with his skill and ability.
