I have requested it 11 times and even gone to corporate. Someone from corporate promised me my check within 7 days, still waiting. I have now filed a complaint with the American medical association and I recorded a phone call where Tammy Jo literally literally lied to me and then tried to blame it on my aid. Record every phone call you have with this office! And do yourselves a favor, don't go to these"Centers", they are a revolving door of various doctors who never stay in one location. They get you dependent on the nerve cauterization, which actually is a detriment to you in the long run. Speaking of running, run away from any of these centers as fast as you can. See your primary physician and then asked to see a qualified, keyword... Qualified neurologist! Don't waste your time. Your money, the frustration and traffic, the horrible communication or lack thereof and the intolerance of the staff. Good luck and God bless!

The care they provide is like no care at all. DANGEROUS and they don't take their patients concerns seriously.

The WORST care I have ever received in 21 years of dealing with medical conditions. THE WORST... DO NOT GO!

Our whole world collapsed on December 23, 2021. I woke up in excruciating pain, unable to fully take a whole breath. After being admitted to the hospital, I found out I had a severe form of necrotizing pancreatitis. After spending more than half a year in the hospital I was released with humility in my heart for being able to see my children grow up. In time, we realized that I had a chronic form of pancreatic disease. I will suffer flare-ups in perpetuity. My diet would make most people look slack-jawed at how minimalist it is. Cooked veggies, bone-broth, High-protein Ensure. That's basically it. Everything else causes severe pain. Trust me, I've tried. All of this leads me to Dr Murphy and his Chronic pain-management practice. Unlike many doctors, Dr Murphy and his staff are warm and welcoming and treat you like family. The amount of professionalism at this practice is in a league of its own. I filled out a twenty-four page package that allowed Dr Murphy to treat me to the best of his ability before I even stepped foot in his practice. They do random drug & alcohol screenings so that he can give you the very best care. I feel safe knowing that I'm being treated with the highest medical standards within a practice that I can trust to really make sure I am not only treating my pain, but, safely doing so. I cannot recommend Dr Murphy and his staff enough. I'd trust them with own health, as well as any loved ones, if they should ever need such services. If you're looking for a serious chronic pain management practice that takes into account your mental and physical health as well as all safety measures, look no further. This is the place to go.

I've seen numerous doctors, physical therapists, etc but I haven't quite been able to get over these issues that I've had. A few months ago, I received a cortisone shot in my hip at another business and it relieved part of the pain I was having. Because of that, my orthopedist suggested that we try the same thing in the areas of my back where I'm most symptomatic. I made an appointment at Florida Pain Medicine because they were the only place I could find that offered these cortisone shots that are covered by my insurance. The trade-off is that it's not easy to get an appointment here, as it's been a couple/few weeks out each time. For my evaluation, the doctor gave me a few tips and pieces of advice for how to help myself moving forward, but agreed that I could use a couple of cortisone shots. Unfortunately, the earliest appointment I could make is still a few weeks out, but I'm excited to finally have something to hopefully allow myself to take the next step forward. Fingers crossed that this will take care of some of the pain, and with other physical therapy and mobility exercises, I can finally return to a life free of back issues!

Dr. Ramirez is a very non-pretentious and humble man. His knowledge is on the "next level", this is…read moreonly exceeded by his experience and skill. He is trusted by recognizable athletes to treat their chronic pain issues but doesn't advertise this fact with sports jerseys throughout his office as you may have noticed around insecure doctors offices. He treats all of his patients with the same respect and you feel as if YOU are his star patient. His office staff is courteous and helpful. Do NOT see him if you are looking for "pills" and intend to "shop" for a suitable physician to feed your addiction (I suspect this is the reason for some lower ratings). He uses floroscopy while a general anesthetic is given by the Anesthesiologist (Dr. Blackshear, we share a sense of humor. Ask him when was the last time he passed gas :-] ) to tackle the problem at the "root" by nerve blocks in several varieties as well as Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA-the thermal destruction of nerves/roots) . His pre/post operative nurses (both experts at getting difficult IV sites) and other surgical assistants are accurate and very well trained and all are kind as is the doctor. If it is indicated, he may prescribe medication but is very conservatively, using his judgment, always attempting to back away from Narcotic Analgesics where possible. Not to worry, he will not leave you in pain though. Pain is relative and subjective, a point not lost on the doctor or his assistant that you may see for follow-up visits. He treats you as an individual and is not in a hurry, so occasionally an extra wait time will be noted (perhaps another reason for the some complaint). I want a doctor who is not in a hurry, who is willing to talk with me irregardless and is deeply concerned with improving my quality of life. He has made such a difference in my life that, though he is reimbursed, I personally owe him a debt of gratitude (as does my wife, immediate family and close friends) that no dollar value can be assigned to it. In my day, I worked very closely with physicians and they are not built equally. Bedside manner is definitely noted from Dr Ramirez, plus I think he might be scared by pain at a personal level, having been fortunate enough not to have first hand knowledge of it (just kidding, he's not a big wuss). I hope this helps anyone who values the opinion of a patient who has been under his care for over five years. Be sure to choose wisely, I know that I have. Thank you all at Intervention al Pain Management.

I have very little pain, and the affects of the general anesthesia are subsiding. Dr. Politz spends time with his patient before the surgery, explaining everything and answering questions.

His bedside manner is superb, and his skill and experience is evidenced by his having performed over 10,000 thyroid and parathyroid surgeries.

I would highly recommend the clinic and the physicians at Pain Management of Tampa Bay.

5.0 star rating 3/29/2018 In 1999, I was working on a job…read moreand fell off a ladder and broke my wrist. By 2002, I had had 8 surgeries on the nerves in my arm and the surgeon said there was nothing more he could do and he released me. I was still in a lot of pain and had been diagnosed with RSD, Reflex Sympathetic Distrophy a form of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain. The pain was so severe, the doctors put me on oxycontin and recommended a pain specialist, Dr. Herson. Dr. Herson observed that I had developed this chronic disease and placed me on pain management. The first thing he did was wean me off oxycontin, he said it was a very addictive drug and he wanted me off of it - he probably saved me from becoming an addict. I've gone to him for years and he really cares about his patients and he stays up to date on any and all medical developments that might help his patients. He tries his best to restore you to a normal life...he's just not in it for just the buck, he really enjoys finding the best treatment for his patients. As for any negative reviews about him, you have to remember that some people seek out pain doctors for drugs...that's why we have such a huge drug problem in the U.S. right now. Don't go to Dr. Herson if that's what you're after - you won't find it here. I have been a patient of Dr. Herson's for 16 years and he has helped me tremendously - not by upping my meds but actually reducing them and managing a program that will help you not hurt you more. This is a family practice, he's wife and mother help him run his business and when you're there, they make you feel comfortable and cared for. It's a shame that pain doctors get a bad rap, especially when this one really tries his best to do good for his patients. Like I said, if you want drugs, this is not the doctor to see, if you want relief for pain, he is an honest good doctor that really cares.

I would not recommend Dr. Herson. Once upon a time I saw him for a TESI (no worries, he doesn't…read moreseem to know what that is either). He fired me as a patient, probably the best thing he did for me.
