I am the spouse of one of the (former) patient's at Dynamic Pain & Wellness. My wife has dealt with chronic pain for over 20 years stemming from degenerative disc disease, arthritis and bulging discs which cause a great deal of sciatic pain. She has had 2 surgeries and a whole slew of injections. When we changed insurance companies, we were given a referral to Dynamic Pain and Wellness. There is so much to complain about but to keep it short, I will focus on the 2 main issues. UNCARING: From the very first visit when we walked in, I knew this was nothing more than a money grabbing pain management mill. They have no interest in helping you, all they want is your money. Every single visit will cost you a fortune between the drug testing and the ridiculous fees for being seen by incompetent uncaring NPs. My wife is used to having a face-to-face with a pain management trained physician. You won't get this at DP&W. All you will see is snotty NPs that have absolutely no compassion or interest in the patient's wellbeing. In fact, in the last visit, my wife complained about not getting personal care by a dedicated physician. The NP told her "this is the way we have always done it and we have too many patients to have one-on-one care..." and "... if you don't like it, go somewhere else." Lastly on uncaring, I sat next to the room where the injections were given to my wife. They use a type of anesthesia that doesn't completely knock you out. It is considered a twilight anesthesia that is really just giving you amnesia. You won't or aren't supposed to remember what horrors they just put you through. I heard multiple people screaming or yelling in pain including my wife. It made me want to kick the door in and rescue her. As a few people have said, the treatment they give you will most likely make things worse, not better. That alone should deter you from thinking of coming here. COST: Working in the health insurance industry for 3+ decades has given me insight on the (rising) cost of health care. This place works the system like you wouldn't believe. When a health care worker (physician) sees you, they can charge based on the complexity of the visit and the length of time. DP&W uses the most expensive visits to bill your insurance company and your out-of-pocket is enormous. Then the independent lab bills you for yet another drug test.
As I said, this is nothing but a pain management mill. Get you in and out as fast as possible, drain your bank account and get you coming back for more.
I'm sure there are some wonderful people working at the Mobile location but we haven't seen them.
Go somewhere else if you truly need help. Good luck if you go anyways. read more
