TO update my last review. I got my letter today. I WAS NEVER DISCHARGED FROM THIS PRACTICE. The…read moreBISH on the phone obviously does not know how to read. I actually got a nice letter saying they understand I cannot keep all my appointments but continuing to miss them " COULD LEAD" to dismissal. They THANKED me for being compliant on my drug contract and for being their patient. OMG, I am reporting the nurse to the state board and the practice to the medical board. AS a patient we MUST take back our power and not let these nurses who think they run these businesses get away with this ABUSE of power. I have been mentally, verbally, abused and tortured by this incident. I have never cried so much in my life over something regarding my health. You think you are safe, especially at your pain doctors office. YOU are NOT. I trusted these people to care for me and they abused me, verbally and abandoned me and now I see for NO REASON. I will be going up the first thing on Monday to talk to the practice admin or whoever is in charge and I WILL not go away. I WON"T go back for treatment but I will NOT ALLOW one more person to EVER be treated like I was ever again. THIS HAS TO STOP.

My GP sent me here and I got Dr C. The staff was very kind…read morebut he was very arrogant. He'd ask me questions then talk over my answers. He got upset when I refused shots. He prescribed me some medicine and I tried it.. with bad results. It was causing mainly my heart some problems. After two days I stopped taking it.. called his office and left a message. The next day someone called back informing me the doctor wanted me to go to the ER because what he gave me couldn't have caused those problems. I told them no.. after being off the meds I feel a lot better. The lady didn't want to hear it and insisted the doctor was right and I was wrong. Without saying it she made it sound like I was a liar. I will never go back to him.

They have helped me regain function and feeling from surgery over 18 years ago. I continue going for the additional support with daily energy that ongoing use of the pEMF. I feel so energized after each treatment. Since i have been going, they have helped a world class athlete be able to compete because they were able to regenerate and heal quickly his shoulder injury. Dr D has a specialty with working with neuropathy and all forms of pain. We are lucky to have such options here in the high country. If you've got pain or just want to get some of your flexibility and feel more energized give them a try. I think you may be really pleasantly surprised.

Wow. Was referred here to see about steroid injections in my back. Lots of pain for too long in…read moreback and legs and feet. It was past time to get something done. I have heard about this pain clinic for a long time. If I had known how great the doctor is and how nice the staff is, I may have found my way here earlier. Dr. V saw me this morning for initial assessment and brought me back in the afternoon for my first epidural injection. It was easy peasy. Just a little pressure, not painful. Will hope for results within a week. The second injection will be done in two weeks. This clinic was filled with patients. So many people out here in pain. The only negative was they only offered apple juice and water to drink. No tequila. Go see Dr. V if you have pain. Don't wait.

Every single staff member was extremely professional, but caring and compassionate in their approach to me and my treatments. They are prompt - I never had to wait past my appointment time. The providers administering and assisting with my treatments were competent and always concerned about my comfort during the treatments. I also appreciate the COVID-19 precautions and other infection control measures that were consistently enforced inside of the office and during treatments. I highly recommend this center and their staff. By the way, my knees are pretty much without any discomfort now and I am told by the providers that they will continue to improve over the next few weeks.

I was referred to them by surgeon at Duke. I had neck fusion surgery C3-6 in 2019. Went back to…read moreDuke for testing and now I have bulging discs down my spine. So I go to Appalachian pain management. I saw a nurse practitioner named Ashley. She gave me 30 pills of Percocet 5/325 and I was told to take a half to 1 pill a DAY for pain. Which did nothing. During that month I broke my foot. So the next day I had a video phone chat to tell her what happened. She said I was 4 days to early for my refill and dropped me. My surgeon was furious. She has since tried to help me find a new clinic but no luck cause she blacklisted me. She didn't care at all. Would not recommend them especially if you want someone with compassion!

Saw Dr. Hamm who was just fine. Yes, another 6 weeks of PT was ordered though none of that has…read morehelped the pain in my hips and lower back before, but okay, sure. 6 weeks later no improvement (and in many ways the pain was worse after PT.) So he shuffles me over to Dr. Haines. One aspect of my treatment is that no doctor wishes to view my issues for their complexity. Every doctor decides "It's the left hip!", as the only one with a replacement, and ignores the rest. Marvelous. Same thing here but cool, we try again. Haines is okay, except she seems highly disorganized. She promised to call after she viewed my xrays. She did not. Still haven't heard from her. I insisted that small bore MRIs aren't something I can use(nobody should, they're horrible), large bore or open MRIs only. She promised she would take care of that. She did not. Some scheduler called to set me up with a small bore and I refused, told her I explicitly told the doctor no small bore. The scheduler said she wasn't informed of that. So she transfers me somewhere for an Open MRI that ends up being in Rock Hill SC. Surely there is an Open MRI or large bore inside Charlotte. In fact, a search shows there are 5 or 6. So why, pray tell, am I being forced to drive to SC for an MRI? Not only that but some other scheduler is leaving me messages for an MRA appointment....but the return call number rings four times and hangs up. So how many schedulers did Dr Haines set me up with? What is going on here? None of the schedulers even know who ordered the MRI or the difference between large and small bore MRIs. Yes, I could use The Magical Portal I guess, though even my husband is sick of having to invent new passwords every time he tries to use it since the old ones disappear. At this point, I'd have 7-10 portals to juggle which I refuse to do. If someone wants to pay me to input patient information into some off-sight database where it can be hacked or shared with multitudes, they can do that. I get the feeling that Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute Sports Medicine really doesn't want me as a patient. I was hoping for an alternative to The Bone Yard of OrthCarolina but sadly this is not it. Wish we had access to a teaching hospitals and practices like Duke and Bowman-Grey, in Charlotte, rather than these hedge fund managed clinics.

I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled time. The secretary ignored me until I said "excuse me"…read more She was so engrossed in watching her phone she did not realize I was there. She told me she would check me in at my scheduled time and to take a seat in the waiting area (suggesting the family waiting area). I decided I would wait in the patient waiting area as I was not confident she would remember I was there. Another patient came in and she rudely told her to come back in 5 minutes because she was on her lunch break and would not be checking anyone in until 1 PM. Without a beat she turned back to her phone and continued watching her phone. She was so rude. What a poor representation of this office! I say that because as soon as you get called back your experience changes. Everyone from the CNA who takes your vitals and blood sugar to the nurses and MD in the procedure through post procedure are all AMAZING. Everyone of them are professional yet so personable. They tell you what to expect as you are in the procedure and do a great job with the discharge instructions. The nurse even calls to check on you the next day! Now, that is excellent care and support! Dr Thakur is excellent. I highly recommend him for both in office evaluation and for your procedure. I feel 100% safe with Dr. Thakur's expertise. I would not go anywhere else. Don't let your front office experience alter your opinion of the care you will get when it really matters.
