The staff told me that I couldn't take the medicine the surgeon prescribed me after an emergency surgery or they would take me out of their program. They also wouldn't prescribe me anything. So I just didn't take any medicine after surgery and suffered. It's ridiculous. Don't ever go there!

But the person that handles the preauthorization is HORRIBLE!! I was scheduled to have a procedure and was not told that the insurance had not approved it until I was checking in to have it done. Her reason was that my insurance company could not find me in their system. So my wife called our insurance company and they called the office and talked with the woman who does the preauthorizations. They told her what they needed. The paperwork was faxed to the office. This was all started on the 11th of August. I have called every week in hopes that the paperwork has been done. I have left several messages for her and none have been returned. So I call today and finally get her on the phone only to have her tell me that she has never talked to my insurance company and that she has not received any paperwork. My wife was literally on the phone when the insurance called her. I hate to call anyone a liar but she is definitely one. IShe was so rude that I lost my cool. Then she hung up the phone on me. I am so angry with MARIA that I am changing doctors now.

I am sitting here typing this review the day after my last procedure with no low back pain and just a little stiffness in my low back. The front desk staff is very professional, friendly, patient and helps me with scheduling all my appointments and filling out paperwork. Miss Ashley (nurse practitioner) has been a great help, especially being so patient with my many questions and repeat questions. Her knowledge and expertise regarding my chronic pain is the best. Mark and Lupe (medical assistants) are terrific. Every visit at the APRI clinic has been timely, efficient, positive, and most importantly FUN. Dr. A is my favorite type of physician, listening to me and my concerns, alleviates any stress that I may have with procedures, extremely caring and bedside manner is just perfect for me......FUN and helps relieve any stress pre and post procedures. I highly recommend Dr. A and his staff at the Advanced Pain Relief Institute for anyone experiencing pain, especially chronic pain. Hoping you never need to visit APRI, but if the need arises, call Dr. A and hoping you can experience pain relief.

I was 24 when he put me on 8 Norco a day. After my exam with no obvious trauma he diagnosed me with…read morefibromyalgia. My doctor on base sent me here after a car accident . I didn't know any better.. this was back in 2013. When the opioid epidemic struck they were quick to cut me off cold Turkey after I refused to let them inject me month after month so they could bill my insurance thousands I'm sure. That was the best thing that could of ever happened. I got myself off pain meds after 6 years but doctors like this started this pandemic. I'll take my blame but shame on them for giving a 24 year old those drugs then treating me like I had a problem. I have family members who go there with major issues . They want them to get off their medication go on Suboxone and then after a while they'll give them opioids again.. makes no sense . I'm extremely grateful I took myself off opioids all alone and I'll never ever be the same - overall traumatic. No one ever told me the side effects of these drugs . I never was coached on the risks they just kept upping my meds. Started me out at 8 norco a day then I was put all the way up To dilaudid with accompanying slow release hydrocodone (zyhydros). Then one day it was no more .. no compassion .. I deal with my pain daily .. which I'm ok with . I'll never ever take another pain pill again and I pray for those who have turned to drastic measures to manage their pain. These doctors knew what they were doing but they were making a lot of money off us with Tricare insurance (the best insurance out there ) shame on you guys for knowingly handing the scripts out then when it came down on you you act judgmental like we are the ones who are to blame.
