    My wife had 3 procedures here to attempt to alleviate pain in her hip/back. We first met with the…read moredoctor (Spruill?) and he spent about 5-10 minutes asking wife questions; then we were dismissed. About 3 weeks later, there were two medial branch procedures (2 weeks apart) to determine if she reacted positively to four injections of a type of steroid near the spine; a subjective question, "Do you feel at least 80% better?" To that leading question, she answered "yes" both times. The final procedure was a radiofrequency lesion, in which nerves near the spine are cauterized and disabled. None of these procedures were successful; the pain remained...and even worsened. With BC/BS Medicare Advantage, we had to pay outpatient co-pay of $330 each time - so, nearly $1,000 for a complete and abject failure. After that initial 5-10 minute very brief chat with the surgeon, I never saw nor heard from him again. After each procedure - no visit from Dr in the lobby to explain what had just happened with the procedure; no CRNP, no RN, no health care professional of any kind bothered to talk to us there post-op or even call us at home later. Spouse was wheeled down the hall as I drove around to pick her up in an alley near the dumpsters behind the building; it felt like a McDonald's Drive-Thru. An employee not related in any way to the procedure wheeled her out, handed me some boilerplate post-op instructions - but couldn't answer any of our questions. Spouse is now in the care of Dr Christopher Paul at UAB Pain Clinic. He spent over an hour with spouse at each appointment; ordered a nuclear bone scan; discovered the muscle below her spine was atrophied. Installed an electronic implant to stimulate muscle and bring it back to life. Her pain is nearly gone. Highly recommend Dr. Paul and his team. Quite a happy contrast to our disappointing experience at The Spine Care Center.

    Nope. Nope. Nope. I would NOT recommend. They only want your money. No diagnosis. No scans…read more Just went straight into the injection.
