    Very nice office. Friendly people. Parking is a little tight so come early. Great lunch spots…read morenearby. Doctor is very good.

    Type of Care: Pain Management…read more Office Experience: Outstanding. Prompt, caring staff. Care QUALITY: Seriously lacking. POOR. I was rear ended on a motorcycle in March of 2003 by an SUV traveling at 60+ mph. The damage to my back was life altering. I'm currently on my 5th Medtronic Infusion Pump, so I have a significant amount of experience with this method of pain control. It's been extremely effective, nearly eliminating the pain in my back. My back has been fused from T10 through L5, with my T12 vertebra having been completely removed with a titanium spacer in its place. I had gone through a 13.5 hour surgery called a T12 Corpectomy, requiring access through my back and through my left rib cage. I also had numerous broken ribs and a broken shoulder as well, so the worst rib was used for bone graft material. The pump was finely tuned by my previous pain doctor, nearly eliminating nearly my back pain, but after 15 years, he stopped filling and managing pumps. I was sent to Dr. Netzel at Coastal Health. This critique in NOT in regards to Coastal Health. I found their staff to be very professional. I hoped for the same professional service from my new doctor that I had grown accustomed to, but that was NOT the case. Within the first 10 minutes of my initial visit, Dr. Netzel told me that he was willing to "bet me" that the catheter coming from my Pump was located on the wrong side of my spine. His said "there's more pain receptors" on the opposite side from where my catheter is located. He made this determination while looking at x-rays. A couple of visits later, Dr. Netzel had my pump turned 7%, causing me significant pain and major Restless Leg Syndrome. About 4 to 5 weeks later, I returned and demanded the pump be turned back to its original settings, but was told that "the pump isn't the problem...the catheter was." He literally wanted me to believe that the catheter was suddenly in the wrong place, despite being completely effective and unmoved for over 20 years. Dr. Netzel discharged me from his care based upon my refusal to allow him to perform an unnecessary surgery. Not only is it unnecessary, but can be extremely dangerous if an infection develops, as an infection in the spinal canal can be potentially fatal. Knowing the complications has me unwilling to take such a risk., especially when the benefits are negligible. Saving a tiny amount of morphine isn't going to make my life better. I transferred to a different doctor at another facility. The first question asked was "why did you leave your previous doctor and come here?" So I told him exactly what happened. He then asked if I had been having problems with the pump prior to Dr Netzel turning it down? NO, I HADN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER. Everything was fine until he turned it down. I was then told that moving the catheter wouldn't have made any difference if the pump was already controlling my pain. Incidentally, the new pain doctor told me exactly what I already knew...that the surgery was completely unnecessary, and could subject me to the risk of an infection. Until this incident occurred, I have NEVER had a doctor that was willingly to place his patient in pain in order get the patient to agree to an unnecessary surgery. I reminded Dr. Netzel that he had taken an Oath to do no harm and he blatantly violated it. While I certainly want people to listen to their doctors, patients also need to be proactive in insuring that the medical care they receive is going to work well for them, and not allow doctors to perform unnecessary procedures that place them at risk. You are your best own advocate. Educate yourself before you go to see a doctor on any of the conditions that you're dealing with. Ultimately, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CARE YOU REQUIRE AND RECEIVE. If something doesn't sound right, you need to get a second opinion and educate yourself. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. NETZEL TO MANAGE THE MEDTRONIC INFUSION PUMP. I cannot comment on any other type of pain relief procedures that he may provide to patients.

    The ladies here are polite and patient. Ernie comes here for his pain issues. He will get treatment…read morefor his neck this visit. While I am waiting, I fixed a cup of cappuccino. I had a hard time deciding on what to get-so many choices. If you're coming here, leave early, as it is located in a very busy area. Pros:the coffee machine! Staff was great. Clean office. Cons:none Recommend? Heck yeah!

    The best pain management doctor and office I have found in Florida. Here, I am able to see a…read more(forner) Mayo Clinic doctor without paying the extra hospital fee charged for a visit to a Mayo Clinic doctor at the Mayo Clinic. Dr Chandler understands that his patients are in actual pain and need pain medicine on a day-to-day basis to have any quality of life. Going to this office on CR - 210 has helped me be able to work a job. Before meeting Dr. Cartwright, I thought I thought I was going to have to file a Social Security Disability claim because work no longer seems like a possibility. With all honestly, Dr Joseph Adam Cartright has not only provided me with a high level of quality of life that allows me to travel on vacation with my wife and 3 teenage sons but allows me to enjoy my life at times when in the past I only experianced pain without joy during the same situations. If you are in real pain in the St. Johns area, please contact this office to schedule an appointment. It may be life changing in a good way!!!
