I give my 5 star rating for everyone here except for the 1 doctor here who I did have a bad…read moreexperience with however it's because of him that I don't want everyone else here to be seen in the same light as people see him because it couldn't be further from the truth. My primary physician here is actually Nurse Practitioner Kristin Bleninger-Sundar. She's a wonderful caring woman who has been a blessing to me. She understands what chronic pain is (and what it's like to have to deal with it every day) better than others. She's knowledgeable about the many different options and procedures that can be tried to get you even more pain relief than you can ever hope for. Dr. Janiga is a ray of sunshine for the doctors here. He is kind, caring, and has an awesome bedside manner and really knows what he's doing but takes time to talk to you about what he's doing and make sure that you are both on the same page. Now, a doctor I leave nameless here, only as a courtesy, if you choose to go here you may or may not get along with but most patients (and staff) I talk to feel the same distain I have for him. He is rude, short (tempered), snotty, and deserves to be put in his place really, but will never change even if that were to occur. I'm sure you know the type. He has the bedside manner of a dead fish and the personality of a cold washcloth. If you have seen him then you know who I am talking about! If you have seen him and found yourself hating him, please give the other people here a chance to help you. Everyone else here is wonderful! Just come and give the chance to Kristin or Dr. Janiga and the rest of the staff and as long as you don't see the other doctor at all the rest of your care here should be pleasant

I notified them of this with the code and have not heard a word back from them since. What a joke and to think I wasted all this time on their behalf. Won't even comment on my impression of clients in waiting room. Do not waste your time.

I received a sprint, peripheral nerve stimulator in my left arm and shoulder. During that time, I only had two calls within the 60 days from the sprint rep . I was told when they put the implant into my arm by the sprint wrap himself that he would be there. I had nothing but problems with The PNS. And had extreme pain associated with having it as well as having it removed, and the way it was removed quite roughly by Dr. Pinski. What really shocked and surprised me was that when I went in for a check up on my implant Twin Cities pain clinic had absolutely none of the equipment used, including patches cords anything for the stimulator so they could not even help me change my patch at the doctors office/pain clinic itself. It was absolutely ridiculous!!

After the massage was over I used the hydrotherapy bed for 10 minutes. It felt nice and warm and relaxed me even more after a deep massage. The front desk staff is super nice and friendly. The only complaint I had is minor-there was relaxation music playing from an iPod or iPhone during the massage and every few songs had a commercial come on. I would suggest financing an online music solution for each room if I were them, hearing an ad for cottage cheese while being massaged wasn't that relaxing. Overall, I would definitely recommend UHC and am heading back for a second appointment later this month.

I've been going to TCPC for 10 years. I was on pain medication when I started going here, so they…read morekept me on the dose I was on (high dose). I have multiple reasons for being in pain. Fast forward to about 2 years ago. I was forced to cut back on my pain meds. However the cut back ultimately was a good thing and I could live a life I could handle. Last year at this time I was told I had to cut back even more and I was not happy about this. My provider at the time ( Bethany who is no longer there) went to bat for me with no luck, they decreased my meds. She said it would be a long process of further decreasing my meds, but she was wrong. 9 months later and they cut back my meds again. I am now on their acceptable dose and they keep asking me if I want a spinal pain pump. I do not!!!!!! I'm old school, do the least invasive thing until it no longer works, then do the next least invasive , and so On. Spinal pain pump is the last resort for me. I'm in my early 50's, I hopefully have many more years to live, I don't want the big guns for pain now. No way, I'm saving that for when I need it later in down the road. However, what do I do now if my pain gets worse? I have variable pain, and sometimes I need more meds, but I can't have them. It's frustrating to say the least. They told me the won't even start new patients on painkillers!!!!!! In a rare circumstance, the might, but the pt is only allowed to stay on for 1 year. Really? It's no acceptable at all. Chronic pain is real, most patients with chronic pain follow the rules religiously. It's just sad that it has come to this. Pain meds are right there, but we can't access them, and we need them to live quality of life.
