Services
Staff and Dr. Khemlani are 100% professional. Super friendly and very comprehensive in the care they provide. I can't say enough about Dr. Khemlani and his understanding of my situation and explaining all my options. Extremely professional and caring physicians, nurses and other staff. Some of these treatments do not work well for some conditions, but this is fully and transparently explained ahead of time.

I don’t usually like to leave reviews. But I feel others have to know. I had the regenexx injections with them, whom at first did seem very helpful as though they cared about my well being. However, I met with the Doctor on FaceTime for my initial visit( was not until after I was at the office that they told me the doctor couldn’t make it..) so she couldn’t even do a thorough exam on me. They only give you solutions that are either injections or medications. I had to be my own advocate and ask to be referred to Physical therapy.
Anyways the injection may work for some people and might not

I have been a patient of Columbia Pain Management since June 2019 for multiple conditions. The staff are always courteous, kind & professional. The facilities have easy access which I appreciate since my disability doesn’t allow me to walk too far. The physicians always greet me with a friendly smile and genuinely care for my well being. I highly recommend Columbia Pain Management if you have chronic pain. There are many options of service available to help give you a better quality of life.

I have been getting epidural injections from various providers for several years now to alleviate residual pain following a laminectomy. The kind and professional care at Columbia Pain Management in Hood River has been exceptional and the subsequent pain relief is the best I have ever received.

I have been a patient at Columbia Pain Management since the spring of 2020. Throughout this time, I have received injections in my back as well as in my arm, in addition to managed care for the back surgery that was inevitable and soon followed in July 2020. While I have mainly seen Dr. Vishal Khemlani (who is an excellent, compassionate and highly knowledge doctor), I have also been seen by Dr. Russo -- who is also just as equally wonderful as Dr. Khemlani. Note** CPM will not freely "hand out" narcotic pain medication and will only prescribe them if there is a very serious issue. And

I saw Dr Khemlani to continue treatment for chronic neck and SI pain I had begun with another doctor. Unfortunately, my prior doctor left the state and I had to find a new doctor. Dr Khemlani came highly recommended by my old doctor as well as my primary care physician, both of whom I respect immensely. Dr Khemlani was friendly, listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions and was quite informative about my treatment options. He exceeded my expectations and I am so happy I decided to give him a try. I know I am in good hands here. Sometimes the front desk gets overwhelmed with phone calls

Columbia Pain Management is new to me as a clinic, but Dr. Vishal Khemlani is not. I have seen him many times over the last few years for injection in my back to relieve nerve damage pain. The new clinic offers a relaxing environment with extremely professional and knowable people. The staff, nurses, and doctors all do their utmost to insure you are well recieved and cared for while at the clinc and after you leave. I truly believe Dr. Khemlani takes my health and wellbeing to heart.

Thank you to everyone at Columbia Pain Management for a wonderful experience yesterday.

I can only base my review on my visit with Dr. Khemlani but I'm giving him 5 Stars. He came highly recommended by my PCP and I have to agree. I've been dealing with back issues and Dr Khemlani was able to explain what was going on, he prescribed treatment and administered the proper injection plus a recommendation for future self-care. At any rate, I was 100% better the next day so I'm a happy camper.

The front and back office staffs are also very congenial and seem on top of things.

I have been to many doctors with very little success, I had one appointment with Dr. Russo, and he requested an MRI, but my insurance turned me down, but Dr. Russo went to bat for me and got the procedure approved, found some problems, and came up with a plan, and I now feel 95% better. I feel like I got my life back.

Go to a different clinic if you are seeking regenerative medicine treatment. Administrative and nursing staff poorly trained. Multiple calls to make an appt not returned. When I finally got an appt, I had to insist actual MRI films, not the radiologist report, were required by the doctor for my initial appt when they were gathering records (which was correct.) Gloves not warn when blood drawn. When I asked for gloves to be put on, the person drawing the blood did so, but then cut the finger off that was touching the needle insertion site. Emails indicating I was in quite a bit of post PRP injection

I have had continuous excellent encounters with both Dr. Blatt, his staff and their PA, Laura. I had to return to PM after my PCP left her practice. I came back to CPM and had a very frank and encouraging conversation with Laura about the stigma surrounding pain management, even for patients with chronic issues (like my LBP which will not go away). She is compassionate; understanding and so helpful. People think of pain management as just drugs, but at CPM they treat the WHOLE patient, have rigorous standards and make you feel safe. Hate that I need to see them, but so grateful for the staff.

Laura is a very caring and understanding provider who takes time to get to know her patients personally and gets to the root of their pain condition. She works with you on different treatments for pain and does not throw medications at it like some providers. I am very happy I changed from the other pain clinic I was going to that just wanted to give me meds and not get to the root of the problem. I highly recommend this clinic. If you are looking for a clinic that is going to help you get to the root of your pain, this is the one.

You'd think that a pain clinic would do their best to treat your pain in a timely manner. I was referred here because of nerve damage during a hernia surgery. They did some tests and determined that the best treatment for me would be a DRG stimulator. I've been waiting 4 months. "Should be any day now" I was told two months ago. Forget about getting an actual doctor on the phone. Luckily, I have found that acupuncture addresses my pain adequately, otherwise I'm not sure how I would have dealt with it all this time. I will never go back to this clinic. I do not recommend

Very good experience. I had PRP injections into my shoulder for a rotator cuff tear and I'm feeling great. The people at the clinic take the time to help you understand the whole process. Billing department was thorough at helping me set up a payment plan because the procedure was not covered by my insurance.

Expensive, and no results: Exhorbitant fee charged for initial "evaluation" visit: They collected $380 up front for my first visit, and then sent a bill for an additional $80. During this visit the doctor performed a superficial exam that revealed only that I'm not seriously debilitated (which I knew) but didn't diagnose what *is* wrong, and explained possible treatments which *might* help my back pain but could only be recommended (or not) after an (expensive) MRI test. No treatment was given during this visit. I was referred for physical therapy, which I am now pursuing (though I didn't need

I have had Dr. Rigert do Regenexx stem cell treatment on both of my knees and one shoulder. I was so impressed by his caring and professional manner, including all of his staff, the first time I had this done, that I again drove 7+ hours from my home area to make use of his clinic.

I was very impressed with how much before hand information gathering and feedback his office staff did prior to my arrival and appointment time. I was also told ahead of time what my costs would be and there was NO additions or after procedure billings! I was able to do all the necessary before visit paperwork by way

Dr. Smith at Columbia Pain Management is a caring and patient physician. My first appointment was great, she spent nearly two and a half hours with me going over my very complicated medical history and what options are available to me. One thing I really love about her specifically is she doesn't just throw pain medicine at it to mask your pain. She also had ideas about a Neurostimulator, which no pain doctor had ever even mentioned being an option before.
Without going into personal medical information, I will just say I have 3 chronic pain situations going on and she is the first to mention

So when you go to a pain clinic you would think handicap parking would be close to the door. Its not its far away in between other offices. Strange that it's next to a school. Today is my first appointment and so far its been a long wait in pain waiting for Sergey and don't even get to get help with pain because get screened first after traveling 200 miles one way. This change with laws on opiates is crazy my 3 dr's think and agree I need pain medication. But tis is way it has to be done. Just not impressed at all. When you call you get a voicemail that is very slow talking

Being a patient of this clinic is the most frustrating experience ever. You can never reach a real person on the phone, and they never return phone calls. I've had about 5 appointments with them, and have had several instances where I need questions answered, or test results explained, and they do not respond to my needs. In one instance I actually had to stop into the office to get anyone to respond to me since they wouldn't return phone calls.

This is the worst clinic I have ever been to.
They treated me like a criminal. I have had had 4 spinal surgeries and a spinal cord injury. Cindy the FNP said my pain and insomnia was from the medication I was on.
She also said she couldn't wrap her head around my case and had to bring the Dr. In.
Horrible horrible experience!!!!

I would not recommend this clinic to anyone. Although Dr. Soll and Laura Scobie seem to be good doctors they really don't seem to have the time to give the attention needed to a patient. The same for Dr. Russo. I saw him once. Holly Agnor is a very rude practitioner that treats her patients with disrespect. She didn't know any of my medical history even though she held 3 years of their own records right in her hands.

After I told her that she was a rude individual that asked me a question at my previous appointment - she interrupted me and then began judging me. After I told her this

I have been in extreme pain from different issues for far too many years, and I was so fortuneate to get referred to Columbia Pain Management...they immediately addressed my issues, and started me on a program that can be tweaked as needed, to bring the most pain relief possible, so I can GET ON WITH LIVING! The overall pain was crippling me, and The very 1st day, the relief was immense. I would absolutely recommend looking into what they have to offer! It could change YOUR quality of life, too!

I Love your service and staff. I would refer anyone to you over any other pain clinic. I have been to two other clinics over the years. The last one suggested a really really expensive device. I came back to your clinic, you listened to my financial concerns, and side effect concerns. With all these things talked about my concerns and We came to an understanding why I should not and would not get this device. Clearer then the pamphlet that the other DR gave me. You explained everything in great detail.
I will always come to you first. I feel like family when I come in. You really make me feel
