I accompanied my husband to a first appointment with this doctor. We were referred by other…read moremedical professionals in the community after my husband's doctor died unexpectedly and we needed a pain management specialist because he has been on the same medications for many years and needed a doctor to manage his needs. I have worked in the medical field for the past 20 years so have had a lot of contact with physicians. I can say honestly that I have never met someone so rude and dismissive as this doctor. The professionals that referred us gave the intake person all of my husband's information including what medications he was prescribed and his long history of treatment. Therefore we were very surprised when the doctor treated us like we were coming to him without his office having any knowledge of what he has been prescribed. We expected that a different doctor might have opinions about what should be prescribed, doses, amounts, etc. We expected that some changes were likely to come, as this is to be expected when you change from one physician to another. However this doctor after asking a couple of questions stated "I'm not going to treat you." No discussion, no explanation other than "I don't prescribe those medications [oxycodone, dilaudid- medications which are commonly prescribed for pain and this is a pain management specialist.]" We didn't disagree, we hadn't asked for anything or suggested that we weren't willing to discuss what he thought would be best, or even how we ended up at this office. After announcing that he had no intention of treating my husband, he proceded to do some form of "physical" by grabbing my husband's leg off the floor unexpectedly and with great force. I have NEVER seen anything like this man and will not advise anyone to pursue help from his office. I have a high tolerance for physician's having their own personalities and opinions about treatment, but I have never had one be so egregious.

DR. Ramos was my wife's primary pain management specialist. Where to begin, my wife began seeing…read morehim and almost immediately he started giving her shots in her spine, they weren't helping so I finally convinced her to get a second opinion. She ended up going to a surgeon who after reading her MRI told her shots would do no good and she needed surgery right away. 2 surgeries later she still needed pain management as she has degenerative disc disease. Being bull headed she continued to see Ramos, who again started giving her shots which by the way are 1500$ a pop, after the last shot she was in terrible pain and following the procedure given us tried calling the doctor. No response from him at all until she canceled her next appointment after we had found a different doctor, who by the way said you should never give shots in the spine after surgery without taking another MRI as things change which Ramos never did. Terrible DR. Only wants that 1500$ per shot

I have been meaning to write this review of my surgery I did in early April 2024. I remember the…read moreday I got my surgery as if it was yesterday. I am very happy I chose Dr. Zachary NaPier for my surgery. Here's my background as a patient and the history. I am originally from Hawaii and have been an active water polo player throughout the years. I consider myself active and healthy. Over time I would complain of back problems and muscle spasms, but it wouldn't last more than a few days. I was only 34 years old at the time when I suddenly felt extreme shooting pains down my legs that prevented me from walking for several hours. I went to a local hospital to get a steroid injection and was recommended I go see a pain doctor. After x-rays and an MRI, I was diagnosed with nerve damage, and severe spinal spondylosis in my L4-L5 region. I was put on heavy pain medications, various muscle relaxants, nerve thinners and I went through too many Aleve and Tylenol which did not help. I could not walk comfortably for more than 10 minutes. I did not like this lifestyle and found my pain getting more severe to the point where I could not work, and lay bed ridden with pain on the worst days. I needed surgical care. The spinal surgeons in Hawaii wanted to shave my spinal bones from the back to alleviate pain. They told me this is a temporary fix that would destabilize my back, and water polo would be out of the question. They even suggested jogging with caution. I would be due for continuous back injections after the surgery. I reached out to both UCLA Spine Center and DISC's Newport office. Neither could get back to me timely, and said they had issues with contacting my insurance. Then I heard of Indiana Spine Center and spoke with Dr. Zachary NaPier. I've read his bio which included experience at Cedar Sinai, Harvard, and procedure expertise in ALIF, LLIF and PTP LIF procedures. To be honest, I haven't even heard of these procedures at length before meeting him. I spoke to one of Dr. NaPier's assistants named Nikki. She is very warm and helpful. She quickly got me on Dr. NaPier's calendar for a video call. There were times I emailed Nikki after work and she responded to me very quickly from Indiana. After I "beamed" my images to Dr. NaPier he got back to me with a permanent solution utilizing a PTP LIF. There were animations he would show for every step of the surgery, along with examples of patients similar to me with successful results. This was the first time a doctor recommended approaching my situation through the side which would minimize muscle damage and pain. I have a local PPO insurance plan here in Hawaii that is somewhat notorious for taking a while to approve procedures. For example, both my MRI's took over a month each to be approved. I decided to go in to my health insurance office in person and luckily had Dr. NaPier on the phone during this meeting. I was approved within 20 minutes! An amazing first impression. Within a week of being approved, I made it to Indiana and met Dr. NaPier's team for surgery. The assistants, nurses, nutritionists, rehabilitation team, were all 5/5 amazing. I got a little nervous as I have never done surgery in my life, but Dr. NaPier walked me through the process. My operation pictures looked great and I walked the day of surgery. Before writing this review, I wanted to give it proper time to heal. Since surgery I have had amazing sleep and can do activities even better than before. Just last month I hiked up diamond head and now have been playing in water polo tournaments and practices. I followed the rehabilitation program and feel stronger every day. Thank you Dr. NaPier and everyone at Indiana Spine Center for everything you do! (Here is a picture of my x-ray and a picture of a recent water polo tournament. I am pictured holding the trophy on the right)
