My experience in the care of this practice was bizarre to say the least. Upon my first visit the…read morenurse who initially saw me suggested that the COVID vaccine causes or increases neurological issues, and that it was a bad idea for I, an immunocompromised individual, to get another booster. I was told this was apparently standard recommendation here. My mother was with me and we gave each other a "what the hell did we just hear?" look. It goes to reason that every other doctor recommends vaccination, especially for COVID, as COVID is aggressive and the long-term complications of it can be disabling, especially for those like me and other individuals with chronic neurological issues. When I'd reported this to my rheumatologist, she was startled, saying she'd recommended Counce for years, but with that revelation she completely stopped referrals to her. Dr. Counce herself seemed to be very detached and did not focus much time on me at all. I kind of felt like my symptoms were being ignored. She didn't seem to hold much emotion or care. When I moved to UAB Neurology for a second opinion on my spine MRIs, they poured over everything they could to try and find an answer for me, and despite coming up dry as well, I at least feel like they gave it a better shot in that one session as opposed to the multiple I saw Counce. In her defense at least, she did run tests on me and did not simply brush my case off right away like some doctors have. But after they found nothing from there, they weren't willing to dig deeper than those basic tests. At the time my condition had been presenting almost like a neurodegenerative disease or like a more subtle case of MS, so this was naturally crushing. I wish they had done more for me. I also cannot trust a doctor whose nurses actively recommend AGAINST a vaccine for an illness that kills and disables aggressively, especially when a lot of their patients would be highly vulnerable to that illness! It's a HUGE red flag to dissuade from the COVID vaccine, DOUBLY SO when it's coming from medical professionals.

He was the only doctor in the Birmingham area who was willing to refill my implanted pain pump. Before finding him, I had to drive to Slidell, LA every month to have it filled. He and his staff work together as a team. It is comforting to see teamwork in one's medical care. They are also very good at what they do, and each one plays a part in your care. I have suffered from hip and thigh pain since I had a defective hip replaced with a non-defective one. I thought that the pain was caused by all the surgery. Thank goodness Dr. Varley had other impressions. He discovered that the pain was emanating from my spine and that Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) was the solution. I had been having it performed on the other side of my spine for several years, with good results. Walking without pain is truly amazing, after suffering with it for so many years. I highly recommend Southern Pain Specialists for anyone with back/spine problems.
