Clean. Disinfected 3 times a day. Masks are not required but many still wear them. Friendly staff willing to help you. You can bring your children because it's in a setting the same as any medical waiting room.

I have recently started seeing the providers in this office and I am very pleased with how well I have been treated. It's more than just medication. They also offer Occupational Therapy to help with everyday life.

The employees here are really friendly, and efficient. I've been going there for over 5 years. They keep my back pain under control which is so comforting. I'm not going to any other pain consultant. Why should I? They are the best!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Like a review I read said “treats all patients like an addict” it is very true. I went with a family members to his appointment and have never been more mad. Darren McCoy is extremely rude and the worst nurse practitioner you could see. If that’s who your appointment is with, just turn around and go else where. No respect for his elderly and absolutely no patient care. Darren McCoy = in his career simply for the pay check.

Went to this place 3 times, on the third visit I was suppose to have an injection due to a previous surgery. I was told by Martha Smith M.D. on the previous visit that the only risks were soreness at the injection location. Never was I told I had to be sedated for this injection or that actual massive list of complications and side effects until the third visit. They gave me a giant waver saying explaining how the process worked and that there are very real, very serious complications due to the nature of the injection and how the injection had to be done with curved needles to go around the hip

I can't recommend the surgery center there to anyone in good conscience. You get treated pretty well until the surgery/procedure is done. Then you get shoved into your clothes and out the door regardless of how incoherent you are, how much pain you are in, or how far you have to travel home. It's not a very nice way to treat people when they are at your mercy. I hope no one ever treats you folks at PCET or your loved ones that way.

This group treats everyone like an addict. Unfortunately doctors are being conditioned to treat all, even those with provable medical diagnosis that cause or result in pain, as they are seeking drugs. I will not go back to this clinic as the moment I stepped in I was treated horrible. It’s not the front office staff or nurses. It’s the doctors and nurse practitioners. They herd you like cattle from room to room, and when you actually have relevant information the nurse practitioners act as if your wasting your time. Shameful
