The patient and patients advocate were simply seeking clarification and instead felt talked down to rather than supported.

That surgery did not relieve any of my pain, in fact may have made it worse. I had been seeing pain management in Boston but had only been given trigger point injections which still weren't treating my problem area, just a symptom of it. Dr. Bernhardt was the first to really listen to me and the first to recommend a cervical medial nerve branch block. He was very informative, told me exactly what to expect and what the next steps after the procedure would be. I was immediately filled with hope after a seemingly hopeless year of not getting anywhere with my last pain management group. At the time of the procedure, Dr. Bernhardt was very attentive and soft-spoken. I look forward to following up with him and trust him for my future treatment plan. Definitely recommend seeing him if you're looking for answers for pain management.

I am fortunate enough to have Dr Heather Davids for my pain specialist. She takes all the time I…read moreneed and listens, intently, when I explain my pain. She reviews labs, X-rays, and my MRI to see, exactly, what is involved and what is causing my pain. She is very knowledgable about different modalities of treatment and presents them with understanding and precision. I, recently, went to her office, but on the way, google maps took to the wrong place. I had parked my car and after walking 3 blocks, I realized I was in the wrong place. I was 10 minutes away from my appointment time. Walking is painful for me, (part of the reason I see Dr Davids) so it took me awhile to get back to my car. By that time I was 2 minutes late. I called the office to let them I was close and that I would be there soon. They told me they would see me soon. Through 2 or 3 more unfortunate actions on my part, I found my self looking for the wrong office number and was instructed by a worked to go to the next building. To make a very long story no longer, I called the office at 20 minutes past my scheduled appointment, crying, and Sandra answered the phone. She had me describe to her where I was, asked what I was wearing and said she would come get me. Soon Sandra was walking me to the office. She reassured me that everything was ok and that Dr Davids would see me soon. That was 30 minutes after my appointment time. They had accommodated my lateness by seeing patients that were already there so I could be seen when I finally arrived. She brought me water, and reassured me everything was ok. When Dr Davids came in she was so kind and gentle and she told me it had worked out and that she was glad to see me. We had a wonderful conversation and she was very through in her assessment of my needs. I felt cared for and it was such a positive experience-one I will never forget. Being an RN that has worked in the medical field, for 35 years, I know a good quality healthcare provider whan I experience one. Dr Davids and her staff are the best!

Dr Shin and the Functional Restoration Program is not a miracle fix or cure. If you are looking…read morefor that, then all I can say is good luck! If you are dependent on medication and want to seek that route, then his philosophy, research and programs are not for you. Now, if you are tired of losing the life you had and want to get it back and can handle discomfort with physical effort, then this is something to look at in depth. Dont do this with a close mind, a dependency on medication or because insurance/attorney says you have to. Nothing comes easy in life...success no matter what takes effort/consistency! I have been seeing Dr Shin for 2 years and yes I was skeptical and frustrated. I had opted for Surgery after 19 months and the frustration of the pain. I can say with the PT, my flexibility had returned, but the pain had not subsided. I wanted my life back and did not want to rely on medication! I ended up with a fusion and cage inserted into my lumbar area. The recovery was not easy and took work, but as I said, I wanted my life back!! Due to the fires and threat of evacuation, i overexerted myself and brought alot of mental fear as well as physical discomfort back. Dr Shin said I recovered from my surgery and I had to move to show my mind and body I could recover. I am not a weak person and dont like to sit on my ass and pity life. I wanted my life back! I was enrolled in the Keystone Functional Restoration Program, which is 7 weeks. Yes, I was skeptical but You only get out of life, what you put into it. I set goals for myself and went with an open mind. I will admit at first, I was like this was bullshit, but stayed open. The staff was very open and friendly. The environment is outstanding! You will attend a class with other people who understand and can relate to your trials and tribulations. You grow, develop and motivate each other. The Staff supports and educate in many ways that keep you motivated. You will exercise and be sore at first and if this is not you or you are scared to work hard for an end result or are just negative, then do not attend. This is a blunt statement, if you want pity or make excuses, stay home and accept your life. The classroom classes are for the most part informative. The Health education and Physical Fitness/Training are outstanding! I can say Im not cured, however i never expected to attain that. I knew going into this, that at this point an injury never fully recovers. I wanted and could accept 80% of recovery so I could snowboard, jetski, mtn bike, jiu jitsu and just be somewhat active again. After 7 weeks and completion of the course, I have a better mindset, physical condition and have almost eliminated the daily need for ibuprofen. Dont get me wrong, I still have discomfort (dont use the word pain anymore) and get sore, but I am now becoming more active. Dr Shin gave me the green light to try snowboarding again and my mindset is right to do it. Its not a miracle cure, but if you miss your old life and mentally can accept a challenge, then if given the opportunity attend this class.

One thing I neglected to mention in my previous reviews is that they will use your pain as weapon…read moreagainst you if you make a medical decision they don't like or if you fail to inform them of receiving a pain medication in the hospital. Now I have ALWAYS informed them of any and all pain medications I've received in the hospital due to having amputations. On another occasion though, I used a medication prescribed by another doctor that was not for pain and they revoked my pain medication as punishment for apparently what they perceive as "wrong-doing" of some sort... It's not huge deal as I'll be relocating to another state soon and will be hiring a competent doctor that doesn't play these kind of games. That said, it galls me that I have to spend my own money on Vodka when I have insurance coverage for my injuries. Thank God for Costco Vodka! It's actually distilled 6 times and is an excellent quality pain reliever. If need to see this doctor for something that doesn't involve pain or need pain medication, then you'll probably be alright. However if you have a condition that may require pain medication, then I would very seriously tell you to consider seeing another doctor. The only doctor that I've ever dealt with who was worse is Michael Levin. You would not want to see Levin unless you were spewing arterial blood and going to die in the next few minutes.. If you need to see a doctor for a serious injury covered under "worker's compensation" then you have my sincere sympathy and I pray for your recovery. I have yet to meet a doctor that takes worker's compensation insurance who was worth a darn. They prey upon those who are desperate for relief because you are a captive audience and other normal patients would never waste their time on such reprehensible "care givers".

When writing a review for a business, I think of the people that work there. After all, a business…read morecouldn't be a business without people to make it happen. I have seen some pretty nasty reviews from folks that really get mad about how they were treated and how awful that particular business treated them. No matter how well the business may be operated, or how dedicated the people are, there will always be someone who complains. This office is no exception. I have seen some pretty upset folks in their reviews, but I have also seen some great reviews too. To be fair, the good reviews far outweigh the bad ones. I have been a patient at this business for awhile. My first impression was that they were extremely busy. Especially so because of the latest de facto "laws" that have arisen because of opioid abuse in the U.S. This office is taking a lot of risk at putting themselves squarely in the crosshairs of litigious and self-centered people. It makes it tough on folks who genuinely need help with their pain. There have been a great deal of people that have been forced to go to an office like this one because most general physicians in this area have chickened-out at prescribing pain meds because of the abuse issue. The first few times that I went to this place, it was really overcrowded. However, the individuals that work here strike me as dedicated and caring. Starting off with Heather in the front. This woman works her tail off. I watched her get the tongue lashing of a lifetime by someone who was completely out of order and wrong. But she took it and dealt with the problem like a pro. She juggles several balls at once and does a superb job at it. I met with Dr. Kim on several occasions and he was thorough of his examination of my condition and pain. He did a good job. Jennifer Kelly and the other PAs there also do an outstanding job. Considering that they are dealing with people who are in pain most of the time, it takes a lot of patience and understanding treat each person fairly and professionally. I don't think you will find too many other places in this area that do a better job at their work in pain mgmt. than this office. If you have a need in this area, these folks will take good care of you!

Hello. I am the victim of a late night car accident in which…read moreI was struck by a teenager under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The driver emerged unscathed and I emerged with a crushed spine and a world filled with unrelenting pain. After several surgeries my level of pain hadn't changed much since I was wheeled into the E.R. over eight months ago. I was referred to the pain management people at Roger Stephens by my PCP, against my better judgement. He assured me it was the proper step to take since my injuries had not responded well to the surgeries and it looked like I was in for a long road to recovery. The middle-aged female M.D. I consulted with at Stephen's was condescending, abrupt and unhelpful - and that's putting her in the best light. One would expect a pain management specialist to have at a minimum some empathy for anyone resorting to pain management as a remedy for unrelenting pain. The physician I spoke with had none of this. Rather than being interviewed by a compassionate care-giver who understood the discomfort and embarrassment associated with having to resort to pain management in order to live any kind of decent existence, I was greeted by a soulless functionary who made it clear that I was going to be given the absolute minimum dose of a common pain-killer, which I already had been using reluctantly and sparingly. She also made it clear that the dosage had little to do with 'what worked'. Her taciturn manner perfectly fit her message which was "we don't want you getting high on these medications." The ludicrousness of this message delivered to a 72 year-old, former marine pilot was completely lost on her. Most of her comments involved making sure that I understood the physicians at Stephen's were not there for my convenience (already obvious by the fact that they refuse refill requests by phone) but to make sure no one was abusing medication. She backed up that assertion by making me provide a urine sample for a drug test which was mandatory before any scripts would be written and would be required regularly to make sure I wasn't abusing substances. All of this was delivered with a gratuitous half-smile that was more alarming than the circumstances that brought me there. Had I not just placed myself in their hands for maintenance of my medication schedule prior to my next surgery (and had I been able to walk, never mind run) I would have run from the building like it was on fire. If you are contemplating short-term medication maintenance for any reason, please research the organization thoroughly in advance and read the reviews. I wouldn't recommend these people to my worst enemy. I am this close to filing a complaint with the medical board in Sacramento but am convinced they are already aware of the callous regard with which these physicians view their clientele. Hopefully they are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to this type of clinic. It's hard to believe that at this time in our society there are medical people this despicable and unconcerned with respect to the oath they supposedly once took. This is as much warning as I can give. Hopefully, for your sake, it will be enough.
