I was involved in a bad auto accident in 2008. Dr. Best became my pain management and rehabilitation doctor in 2009. The treatment by Dr. Best is what all patients want and deserve. Compassion, honesty, and knowledge are three pillars elevating Dr. Best above and beyond most other physicians.
Dr. Best has seen me through four spinal surgeries and referred excellent physicians outside his specialty to treat other problems from my auto accident. His knowledge of the interrelatedness of injuries is far better than most other physiatrists.
The most appropriate metaphor for his role in my treatment is like a quarterback for a football team. He is the Tom Brady of physiatrists by the depth of his medical knowledge, proactive handling of neurologist reports, psychiatrist reports, and neurosurgeon reports, as well as referrals to physical therapy, nursing, occupational therapy, and the many other practice areas like orthopedic surgeons and pain management without pharmaceuticals. These pain management clinics generally are anesthesiologists specializing in neutralizing part of the nervous system for pain relief by inserting large needles near the spine, under X-rays, temporarily eliminating pain junction boxes through burning nerve clusters.
Dr. Best oversees my treatment like a QB of my treatment plan. He is excellent at understanding the interrelatedness of all other treatment areas. Like any great quarterback, he is exceptional at reading defenses and knowing when to call an audible. He is well-versed in changes by keeping current in his practice area and specialties affecting his patients.
He should be entered into the "Hall of Fame" for medical doctors! read more
