But I have NEVER been treated this badly in the 12 years of being a patient. Every doctor I saw wouldn't look me in the eye. They suggested P.T. when I was living with high pain everyday and didnt seem to believe me or listen to me. It was like talking to a brick wall. Every time I tried to reschedule an appointment I could never get ahold of the office staff. Calling multiple times a day, days or even a week before an appointment. They gave me meds that have long term terrible side affects that I wasnt aware of. Went to a pain clinic in Omaha and it was night and day, everything that the Pain institute was prescribing medication wise my new doctors hated cause it can cause kidney and liver issues over long term! I already have kidney concerns. They gave me injections that made things worse and there was zero empathy. The care there was beyond deplorable. The hour drive to Omaha is worth every second because now I actually am more pain free! I'm starting to live my life again, no thanks to the pain institute.

The needle going in hurts. The chemical is not native to your body. You get some sensation. If you are getting pain med that are a controlled substance blame the lawsuit because it must be tightly controlled. I had a kidney transplant and cant have NSAIDS. I cant work on narcotics. They did the right thing and read it off an MRI and xray and went to the source of the pain. And yes, they are looking to go after nerves because that is where the pain is.

Please for the love of your own life disregard my positive review of the pill mill known as Midwest…read morePain Clinics. When I wrote that I was high as a kite on 30mg Roxicodone (4x a day) and Fentanyl patches. No..:I'm not a cancer patient. I'm a chronic pain patient who went to this clinic after having moved back to Omaha to care for my elderly father after my mother passed away. I actually went to my appointment 3hrs after mom's funeral. When I went in I simply wanted to find a local provider who could continue the care I had been receiving back home. My previous treatments included cortisone shots and 5mg of 5/325 Percocet 2x a day. I had been on that protocol for over 8 years when I visited Midwest Pain Clinics. The doctor (Richard Hubbel M.D.) said "you're gonna be feeling better than you ever have in your life after you leave here" after telling Me there's no way my previous "weak" medication could still be working for me....even though it was perfectly. Well fast forward five years and I am now on methadone at a methadone clinic that I have to visit almost every day. The physical damage the meds this doc gave me did is unreal. I have never been an addict to anything but in a short few months Midwest Pain Clinics turned me into a regular junkie. When confronted about this they took the most bizarre routes possible. Dr Hubbel quickly existed the practice (moving back East to do anesthesiology). It was interesting to learn that Dr. Hubbel had his own incredibly severe opioid problem as well. When he came to Omaha he had his license revoked in another jurisdiction and was on probation. Why? Well after ODing himself in the hospital after surgery on Dilaudid, he did the same at his own home. Responding paramedics found nearly 180 empty ampules of dilaudid scattered around his bedroom. It is sickening to know that Midwest Pain hired an IV opioid addict to prescribe opioid medications. My life is forever altered. I want nothing more than to be done with opioids but without my methadone treatment I am violently And life threateningly Ill. I was steered to methadone because it was the only way I could achieve some normalcy in my life. Please do your homework and don't let these people railroad you into hardcore meds supplied by their "conveniently" located on site pharmacy. The only good thing I can say is good riddance to Dr Hubbel. Thank the lord that he left that clinic and won't hurt any more of their patients.

The staff are very nice and let her speak for herself without any type of reserve or anything like that, so that was great. The check in process was a bit arduous and I felt like I had to repeat my answers, basically and triplicate so that was a bit annoying but the staff was very friendly and assured me that it would allow The doctors examination to go more smoothly. Once we were all checked in, there was almost no way, and after a quick examination by one of the nurses, we then were taking off to the in-house x-ray. The room we were seen and was brand new with very impressive equipment as her father I was allowed to attend the x-ray, and they made sure that we were both safe and process us very quickly. Once we got back to the room, we saw the doctor, and what was great that he was able to explain things and show things to my daughter and language that she was unable to understand. What I really appreciated was that he then also explain things in a more advanced and higher level for me to understand what was going on the best course for treatment and recommendations for how to stabilize her foot and get her back to normal faster. Overall was very impressed with this visit. Beautiful office nice staff and wonderful doctors. I would highly recommend this for anybody who needs urgent care for orthopedic problems.

The scan revealed aseptic loosening in both replacements, with the last knee replaced already showing signs of rotating.
