Saw him for 17 yrs. Then he started to fancy himself a pain specialist. My insurance company said…read moremy copay should be one thing his receptionist said another so I said I think the doctor needs to be brought in on this. For two years she said was new and to be patient with her so I was. I'd always gotten along beautifully with his staff. It wasn't her fault. It was him pushing higher copays.This annoyed him and he refused to treat me that day. He said he was no longer familiar with my back and he couldn't treat me. What if I'd been brand new and he'd never seen me? He couldn't treat me? I call this abandonment of care. He also at another appointment wanted to inject my forehead with Botox that would cost $900 that insurance would not cover and I'd need every 3 weeks. To relieve my pain all I needed was an adjustment. He talked me into Xyrem which gave me a psychotic episode I googled later and the first side effect said may cause death. It was obvious he no longer wanted me as a patient. He considers himself a Christian but he has too many children he's trying to support I'm afraid so he's pushing drugs he gets a kick back on and then the expensive Botox treatment. He's definitely changed from the caring doctor I was seeing in his early days. I'm sorry to say.

I've been trying conservative treatments for cervical spine pain for a year and finally had to resort to something stronger. Ariel Shaifer, N.P. was my caregiver and she was thorough , informative and went over the cautions of using stronger pain killers. But, she was still accommodating and not condescending or tough. You just have to pass a drug screening prior, a urine test or mouth swab. I was unable to urinate right away but sat in the lobby drinking water until I could. I had nothing to hide. Marijuana use might be a factor in the ability to receive medication, so be forewarned. I was even told to try CBD, but was concerned that since some CBD has a very small amount of THC, I had not used it. I was told that if it showed up upon my next visit, I'd just be asked to discontinue using that product. So, they aren't unreasonable. I had a plethora of conservative treatment information from several doctors and a referral, which apparently is not required, but helpful. I think that's why it went so smoothly. Ariel Shaifer is very pleasant and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff is polite and pleasant as well. I highly recommend them. I had a bad experience at Colorado Pain Specialists where the doctor actually contradicted my doctor's opinion (because he'd never heard of him) and made me cry. Plus, they were in Golden, not so close and easy to get to in Longmont. They followed COVID guidelines and there was no wait... the waiting room was busy, but not packed full. Plus, they ran on time. Seek no further, this is the right place to go!

Being a…read morechronic pain patient he makes me feel as though my conditions are nothing more than an inconvenience. I have been waiting over 3 months for a procedure and the office is claiming it is due to insurance denials. When I spoke to an imaging office, they told me the truth about the office- they don't do what is needed to get procedures and process out through insurance. All that was needed for an MRI to not come out of pocket for me was a peer to peer review and he refused to do so. When another medical office is apologizing for the treatment of your Dr based on a small ask they refused, you know you have a bad Dr. Dr Drennan is amazing. I have no issue with him he treats patients amazingly. If he would treat all patients his practice would be amazing. The ladies at the front desk are nice. They are aware the patient portal doesn't work correctly and apologize for that every time I come in. They say the drug testing is random, yet I have to leave a sample every time I come in.

The front desk had very nice people, and the nurses were very helpful. I went to the cafeteria which was good, with different options and a wide variety. The gift shop was nice, and even had flowers you could buy, as well as phone chargers, bags, medicine and other things. Flowers were a surprise as level 1 trauma centers do not allow them for sanitation reasons... but sure would be convenient to give to family/friends. Overall a great place to get care in Louisville and surrounding area.

I've interacted with all of the doctors including getting injections from Lief Sorensen, MD, injections / a spinal cord stimulator implanted from Bryan Wernick, MD, and my "primary care" provider at the practice, Melissa Smith, DNP. I've found them all to be talented, professional, compassionate, and always willing to listen to my concerns. Especially Melissa Smith who I see monthly. I really can't speak highly enough about the providers. To anybody on the fence about a spinal cord stimulator, the Boston Scientific stimulator has changed my life for the better. I can literally feel a significant decrease in pain the moment its turned on. Conversely, turning it off (or running out of batteries) causes an instant increase in pain from a 2/3 to a 5. My only negative with the practice was that there seemed to be a phone system issue in part of 2023 where it was difficult to speak directly to a person. I mostly used their online portal messaging system so that was not a significant problem for me. The phone system problems seems to have been resolved in late 2023 or 2024. Overall, the staff Dimensions Pain Management have given me back a normal relatively pain free life. I would strongly recommend them to anyone in need of pain management services.

Unfortunately, after seeking help from numerous doctors and exploring various avenues for pain management, this was my final attempt at finding relief. Dr. Jan Gillespie-Wagner and Darci Rossitier were Dismissive and Uncaring. During my appointment, the doctors I encountered displayed a hostile and aggressive demeanor. They failed to consider the impact of my chronic pain on my daily life. Furthermore, they seemed quick to dismiss my concerns and stereotype me as a patient, rather than listening to my specific experiences. They were apathetic towards atypical pain. The most concerning aspect was their lack of understanding or apparent disregard for my non-typical pain condition. Instead of offering help, they were dismissive and pushed me away as a patient. A Broken System: It's disheartening to realize how many people suffer at the hands of these medical professionals who are supposed to help. This experience is just one more example of how the current system fails patients with non-standard conditions. DO NOT GO HERE. They will stereotype you from the start and then don't listen to your situation.
