LOL Dr. Varley and all his staff are compassionate and very easy to talk too. Either Online, Portal Use or Calling in making appointments, paying bills, Etc., is very easy. Southern Pain Management offers all the traditional pain/nerve blocks, Radio Frequency Ablasions, Etc; Several new innovative procedures including Ketamine infusion treatments at affordable cost to patients. The science of Ketamine Infusion makes too much sense for insurance companies to my help pay for such a thing. They would much rather pay for pain medicine.

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.

The first appointment with Dr.McCoomer was amazing. He understood all of the things that were affecting me and then went beyond to explain everything to me. I am so thankful that they gave me an appointment . My nurse , Jae was so kind and helpful and took time to give me an overview of what to expect for nerve studies to determine where the problems are and how they affect not just my fibromyalgia but other issues with both legs and my back. I can't say enough good things about this group. If you are having chronic pain call them and they will give you the same amazing treatment that I received. They also do not try and push you into anything. They give you info and options and it's up to you to follow through with the treatment plan. I am looking forward to having this pain under control and I know I am at the right practice to help me get a better quality of care and life. T. Wooten
