After twenty four hours the pain came back just as bad. I went back to Ascend Pain and Wellness and they prescribed some pain medication to help for the pain. I explained to them several times that I was experiencing pain from the shot. They could care less , it fell on deaf ears and all they wanted to do was push some more medication towards me or give me another shot , which I wasn't going to do , because I didn't know what kind of pain that would cause me after the first one caused pain that I had never had experienced before. After 2 years, I'm still experiencing pain and discomfort from that steroid shot. I would never go back to this place and I would recommend going back to Because the doctor who gave me the shot is a clown , as I was talking to his pain specialist josephine , I could see him clowning behind her computer screen with his fingers on the screen, as I was trying to explain to her about the pain of discomfort I was going thru because of the shot. I would go somewhere else and avoid this place all together. I'm so glad I didn't get another shot because I don't know what kind of problems that would have caused for me on top of what i'm already going through.

I reviewed his other location but since I have been going to see him at the Westchester office, I…read morethought I'd review this one as well. Dr. Chang is really just a great doctor. It's obvious he cares, which is pretty important when dealing with patients who are suffering from chronic pain. He's friendly and takes the time to explain each and every medication he prescribes. While Dr. Chang is amazing, his front desk staff leaves much to be desired. I don't want to go into details with that, but I will say that Dr. Chang is worth the hassle that his front desk staff creates.

Dr. Chang is a consummate professional with a sense of humor, which, in my experience, is an…read moreextremely rare quality in a physician. Dr. Chang first performed the fluoroscopy-guided dye injection into my hip for an arthrogram, and was polite, concerned, and extremely gracious when he learned that I was mistakenly quoted a significantly lower self-pay cost than the normal charge for the second procedure he performed (diagnostic fluoroscopy-guided anesthetic injection into my hip bursa), and even offered to include cortisone in the injection at no additional cost to try and help relieve my hip pain. I was also impressed with his nurse, Irene, who went out of her way to help me find the Lincoln Park clinic where the second procedure was performed, and where they fit me in at the last minute so I could try and have some pain relieve before I went on a long-planned vacation. All and all, I can't recommend Dr. Chang highly enough. I am considering becoming a regular patient to treat my fibromyalgia, since I know he'll do a great job--and I kind of owe him the money! ;-)

WORST DOCTOR I've ever experienced! If I could give this…read moredoctor zero stars, I would have. When Kondelis walked in, he didn't introduce himself and seemed to know NOTHING about me, even though my medical records were sent to him 2-3 weeks prior. He has NO people skills. Kondelis, right off the bat, said that because I'm prescribed a particular medicine, he would not give me ANY kind of narcotic. Even after I offered to stop taking that prescription, he wouldn't budge....even though I have been living with severe fibromyalgia for over 20 years, AND just had back surgery. He would NOT do ANYTHING to help me. He encouraged me to go off ALL my medications as a "reset". Kondelis told me my fibromyalgia should be handled by my psychiatrist. Because, you know, the constant, chronic, excruciating pain I feel EVERY DAY, is all in my head. He was at least 30 minutes late for my appointment. Kondelis had someone listening in to our conversation and transcribing it WHILE WE TALKED! And, he never asked for my permission. Can you say HIPPA violation? He was cold and impersonal, except to tell me how his niece is "paralyzed" by her fibromyalgia, but yet managed to get her master's degree. So, I told him that I had my master's degree too - what does that have to do with ANYTHING???!? Going to Dr. Kondelis was a complete waste of my time and money.

I told them in 30 years had never been treated so poorly by a practice. In mean time my pain continues to increase. Not once dis they apologize . Would you be angry? 6). Well 2 days before date the call me and tell me because the procedure is at there office. The anesthesiologist charge will mow not be covered. Again you would think after everything I went thru they would cover that cost. But nope they would not. They even called my referral source to ask what they should do. Not sure if that is a HIPAA violation. Again I got angry. But left me know choice. Again claiming it was surgical centers fault. Give me a break. I have my share of surgeries over years. Not once did I have a cancelation by the doctor hospital or surgical center. My guess is they never followed up the facilities. But that's just a guess 7). Now the day of procedure. I never in all my years I had any problem with someone taking blood or putting in a line for IV. That includes my internist practice of 30 years for annual Che is ups, the Mayo Clinic. Northwestern. University of. Chicago surgical centers ect. BUT these incompetent niurses took five times to find a vein. I had to demand and told first nurse to get another nurse because she could do it. In mean time she leaves syringe dangled in my arm just having leaving it exposed Well here our results of IV But again no apology. No I'm beyond upset. But again they treat my as I am one who is wrong. They claim I have "wiggle veins". Never been told that. But then somehow it's my fault. What a joke. The skill level by the staff and nurses is rating of Zero. But I guess proof is in pudding. See pictures. 7) After all that. the procedure FAILED and injection did not work. 8) After all that you would think they would follow up or get call from DR Jain to see how I was. But NOPE got call from my referral source. All I can say is Dr Jain is "spineless human being who was afraid to call. 9). I called to cancel my follow up appointment visit No chance would I use this dr and his inept manager and staff. So in conclusion in my 30 plus years of medical care Including cancer treatment, aneurysm repair, annual check ups ect . Dr Jain and his team at Pinnacle Pain management was truly the worst medical care I have rver received. So here I am sitting here in bed with a neck brace. Don't walk RUN from this practice as it is truly the worst. I would have given them zero stars but it was not option.. sorry that half review got cut off. But they am sure you get the point. So I you like 3 reschedules by them , Dr and medical team that spent maybe 5-10 minutes because they're short staff un top of that. Could b care less what you have say. A pre surgical them that is worst in the business A administration staff and especially manager who is rude and un caring never taking responsibility for their poor follow up and scheduling problems. Than Dr Jain and Pinnacle Pain management is for you ;-)!
