Why 3 stars? Because a small portion of my issue was relieved…read more --- --- --- I've had lower back pain for nearly two years now and my orthopedist recommended that I try cortisone shots. Finding a place that performed these specific shots I needed that would be covered by my insurance company was no easy task, but I eventually landed on Florida Pain Medicine. But the 2nd part of that equation was actually getting on the schedule - my initial consultation appointment was a couple of weeks out, and then my actual appointment to have the shots done was another few weeks beyond that. I'd recently had a cortisone shot in my hip done at another facility, and they told me I was required to have a driver. As it turned out, the tech told me that I definitely would not need a driver, but at that point, my wife had already gotten up early to take me there. So when Florida Pain Medicine told me that I would need a driver, a triple-confirmed that I would *really* need one. Yes, they assured, I really would. Fast forward to me standing up after the shots were done - zero affect on my driving ability or legs in any way, shape or form. I appreciate that these places need to protect themselves, but I'd prefer to not ask my wife to call out of work to join me on an adventure to get a cortisone shot, when it's completely unnecessary for her to be there. As for the appointment itself, it was scheduled for 10:30a. I was walking out of the facility a few minutes before 12:30p, and the entire time spent laying on the table for the procedure was about 15 minutes. That means that I waited over an hour and a half before I was seen, which was really taxing on both of us. While the doctor and assistant were apologetic, it really was quite annoying to spend that much time in the waiting room. But all of the waiting and needing a driver would be worth it if the shot would cause my pain to go away. Unfortunately, while it did help slightly, there primary source of the pain was not addressed. He injected a different part of my back than the orthopedist suggested, which caused me to question if that had something to do with it. I have a follow-up, and who knows, maybe more injections in my future. I appreciated that this procedure was covered by insurance, but the rest of the process was pretty clunky.

Medication isn't the answer for me. But I re injured my neck really bad. I came back to this hole in the town as a new patient because I was in more pain than before x 1000. I saw the NP she prescribed 2 weeks of meds pending mri. It took 2 weeks to even get an appointment. But I was patient. By the time I saw Dr Benni 3.5 weeks later, whom I requested to see to discuss my results i payed for my visit, he walked in the room and said " what hsppened" i can't treat you. Medication isn't in your system. I couldnt speak he wouldnt listen, Shirley Temple Maria wouldnt talk to me. He said he would refund my money he never did. My main goal was to one get relief, I wasn't able to take ibuprofen or naproxen due to my 9 ulsers that I got waiting this psin out to see if it would go away. I didnt want to come back to pain management. My gastronologest told me to go back to my pain Dr to give my body time to heal. I waited 4 months for this pain to subside. For them to dismiss me for absolutely no reason and to try to document me as a failed ua when then there was no way for me to have this medication in my system. He is also counting my very first visit as a failed ua for March, March 2026. I saw no other Dr. My last visit was Dec 2024 with HIM. But he's counting March 2026 as a failed drug test, so now i have 2 under my belt FALSELY. If i was you i would run from this place, they are falsely documenting charts, they will take your money, they will lie. He needs to be investigated. Im doing everything in my power to report him, and his so called manager, a 5 year old could be a better manager than Mariañ why make me an appointment if im not seeable or treatable, thieves, liars, reporting to the department of health.

I did not get my trigger shots like I've been getting every other month and I'm in pain. Been requesting for two business weeks for medical records and no response. Dr jones is great but if you don't go along with or question his partner , you are fired. I can't believe this is even legal. If you like Dr jones , I advise to stay away from his partner. Google reviews are taken down so don't bother looking at google. Waited 3 hours just to be fired and I've been a compliant patient for close to 7 years.

Dr D was initially very nice and understanding but after a couple of months he bullied me into a procedure that was unnecessary for my diagnosis. I cancelled the procedure and the very next day they were calling to verify my address to send me a certified letter through the mail, dismissing me as a patient. (Has been confirmed by a second physician that the procedure he was bullying me into was completely unnecessary for my condition) Dr D didn't even have the courage to talk to me face to face. If you don't agree with his treatment plan, he will outright dismiss you without just cause. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone! His office is after money and billing your insurance with unnecessary procedures and MRI's. He's got an MRI machine in his office so he can send you right over. Convenient at first but in the end it's just a money making machine.

Dr. Thomas is also a chiropractor however he specializes in muscle tissue breakdown - longer story even short, Dr. Thomas has relieved damn near all the pain and inflammation I had/felt in my legs and feet.
