Dr. Swiber is a wonderful, compassionate, prince of a human! Seriously, his kindness can not be overstated. Great sense of humor too! Megan Frank, PA is also top notch! She hasn't been in pain management very long, but she has an innate sense of caring and empathy that makes her perfect for the field. The nurses are amazing, along with the office staff! Very little waiting, great communication. If I ever move back to NC, this is the first place I will go for care!

RE: KARMA WILLIAMS, PA and BREANNA, JOHNSTON PAIN STAFF My…read morepickup at the pharmacy went sideways this weekend, In the midst of the usual chaos of a Monday, I attempted to reach out to my provider at JOHNSTON PAIN MANAGEMENT due to an issue with my script at CVS in Hampstead. After numerous calls and messages, sweet BREANNA picked up the phone at 2 PM and just owned the whole situation! She made contact promptly with KARMA and I have no doubt that between the two of these professional and personable women, I'll have my meds today. Please thank both Breanna and Karma for me! With Breanna, her patience, willingness to help, and reassurance helped to calm me and I feel confident that the dilemma is resolved! I'm so grateful for Karma and staff members like Breanna who understand how frustrating these situations can be for the patient. Her attention to the details of the situation kept me from having to repeat the whole scenario over and over and she just took it forward, assuring me that everything would be resolved and that she'd call me back promptly, I felt complete relief after a stressful morning. With Karma, I always feel that I am the only patient at the practice, she makes you feel that special! I've been with her for roughly 10 years and the undivided attention that she shows me during my visits are such a blessing to me. While this world is spinning at breakneck speed, Karma truly listens to every word I have to say and I know that she truly cares for me and all of her other patients, Mondays are just heavy days but thankfully, these two beautiful souls have taken away my stress regarding receiving my overdue meds. God bless all of you there at Johnston Pain! Sharon

This place is one of if not the most unprofessional, inconsiderate and unhelpful places I have ever had to deal with and mind you I'm not the patient but a family member. There is always one or two that is/are kind usually support staff. My main grievance is the PA Candice. She is hateful, rude, disrespectful, inconsiderate to name a few. She speaks ugly to patients not just my family member and threatens their care when other doctors try to pick up where this office lacks i.e. improving the quality of care of the patient. This is an ongoing theme in the waiting area/ parking lot among patients who feel stuck to keep from being flagged for drug seeking behaviors by switching or whose insurance would make it difficult to switch. ​Furthermore, if you require a wheelchair to move around, please show up with one as they remove at will theirs if they have them. Also, make sure you are able to move the chair on your own or have someone with you that can or you will likely not be seen. It is this office's policy/stance that it not a part of your care to be pushed to the back or out in a wheelchair. Save yourself or family member the frustration or stress of having to deal with the antics seen here in an already difficult period of their lives. I implore you to seek care elsewhere from the start. I wish I could give a half star.

They then put me in front of a computer to do a virtual meeting I could have had done at home instead of wasting my time and energy. ONE HOUR LATER a doctor finally approaches me to figure out why I'm still there, takes me to check me out, then tells me despite me telling him I am in a lot of severe pain that it is my anxiety and CPTSD, not "real pain". I will be looking into a new doctor, ladies don't bother if you want to be listened to. Avoid it in fact. Absolutely terrible and horrific experience that I embarrassed myself about trying to get any sort of real help. This is the same location that was supposed to give me a physical therapy appointment with someone who actually does deal with my specific issues in FEBRUARY, so I really only have myself to blame. Don't go here, even if you have Medicaid, just dont
