I was referred to Dr. Gay by my provider because he was in my network for Aetna. I was having…read moreextreme lower back pain and nerve pain down my right leg, which was a reoccurring injury from 4 years ago. I had an epidural cortisone shot back then with the spine institute, and it worked so well, but I had major billing issues and ended up having to pay a lot of money out of pocket. Dr. Gay's office was diligent in insuring that my insurance would cover both my office visit and my shot with them so I never had to worry about the financial side. I was nervous about my cortisone shot with a new doctor because Dr. Gay did not have it at a surgery center the way the spine institute did, however, I could not be happier with the process. Not only was it quick and easy, it was not really painful, and once I saw the room and the assistant, I felt completely comfortable with the process and with Dr. Gay. Within 24 hours I experienced substantial pain relief, and after going through 4 weeks of dibilitating pain, I almost cried with relief when I woke up the next morning and could get out of bed without assistance. Dr. Gay did set proper expectations that physical rehabilitation would be necessary to maintain the pain relief and fully recover, and immediately sent a referral to a place that was in network who I received a call from the very next day. I am so happy that I went in to see Dr. Gay, and I will continue to use him as my pain relief provider in the future (hopefully for not much longer). The only negative thing I can say is that he is very busy and it can take a while to get in to see him, which when you are in so much pain can feel like forever.

I had my 7th child and ended up with serious lower back and buttocks pain. I did not seek help from…read morea doctor until my Psychologist recommended it.  I did not know where the pain originated from. I was unsure if I had slipped, fallen or any of the above because I had a newborn baby, a 1 1/2 year old along with 7 children.  I did not notice the pain until a couple month after my daughter was born.  The pain overtime started increasing and shot down my legs and into my feet.  My feet felt number at times and pain.  The pain was so bad that I would drive a short distance and would almost fall out of the car.  I have seen doctors, primary care doctors who did not understand how this could have occurred and basically made me feel like I was lying.  I was referred and went through physical therapy which still did not help.  I also on my own without a referral went to a chiropractor.  The chiropractor did explain that pregnancies after a while can cause issues that I was experiencing with back and buttocks.  With the doctors, I also had to demand an x-ray: no results and MRI: which had some results but the doctor minimized my pain.  I was prescribed ibuprofen which did not help but doctors were unsure of my psych medications and pain medications. During this time, I had asked to work with my psych doctor or send me to a pain management clinic because I was to the point of crawling up the stairs and in tears.  I barely could work at my sit down job.  I had to purchase an ergonomic desktop for my desk.    I could barely sleep.   The pain did not subside and I was miserable.  I felt increased anxiety, increased depression and barely could interact at my job, at home or with my husband.  After a year, yes I said a whole year, the doctor said I am sorry I should have done this earlier and he ended up referring me to a pain management clinic i.e.  Algone Pain Clinic. The doctor also said my condition was out of the box.   I instantly was observed by Dr. Nichelle C. Renk who immediately believed me and took action.  She mixed a pain management remedy that included natural medications along with pain medications.  She realized I was hyperflexive which is part of pain causes such as mine.  She gave me support groups with people with similar pain issues.  She also gave me a steroid shot which instantly made my pain in my legs and feet.  She listened and actually spent time with me.  She was not like normal doctors where you feel rushed out of the office like an assembly line.  She sat there and made sure I understood everything and explained procedures in great depth.  She also explained the support groups, the natural medications and so on.  Her quick reaction and believing in me and my pain--she was able to burn my nerves on both sides and relieve my pain instantly.   She is a wonderful doctor who is passionate and cares about her patients.  I would recommend her to anyone.  I hope you take a chance to meet her and see how your pain is relieved.  Thank you Dr. Nichelle for making my daily life and activities better.   Christel Brito

I worked at APCA for over a year and the providers genuinely care about helping their patients. They don't start by pushing medications but rather approach your treatment with a more holistic approach. They start with procedures that are targeted to treat your symptoms. Then they work to get you into physical therapy, massage therapy, etc. to help target the issues that are causing the pain. In terms of employment I would highly recommend this office. The providers are great to work with and they enjoy teaching their staff new things as they believe that the more everyone knows the better the office will run. I would definitely agree! Having people cross trained allows for information to get to the patients more easily as anyone can answer their questions. The work environment is great. I really enjoyed my time working with Dr. Olamikan and think he was a great boss. The patients themselves were so kind and I miss so many of the regulars now that I have moved. Overall, I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for pain management care or employment!

I have received no help with pain and I hope the shot will relieve some of the pain: I cannot walk. The intake personnel/admin appear to care less about my condition.
