This doctor (no relation to me) is the best. He's caring, knowledgeable, and provides excellent care. The wait is typically not very long most times I've seen him. Highly recommended!

Dr. Hess is an excellent physician. I saw many pain management physicians through workers comp who were failure. Dr. Hess is pleasant, knowledgeable and willing to think outside of the box. He provides all services unlike other pain physicians. I have seen him for almost 8 years and have not been disappoinnted. He takes the time to explain everything and I have never felt rushed.

Dr Hess is one of the better Dr's I have seen. He asks questions & listens. I honestly feel like he gives me treatments that are specialized to my needs. His staff & nurses are just as wonderful as he is. I was reluctant to go to a Pain Management Dr but I am so glad I did. He has helped me be more mobile with much less pain.
