We understand how living with pain impacts your life. Not only can you experience decreased activity levels, disturbed sleep, and loss of appetite, you can also experience psychological and emotional strain, physical exhaustion and even lose the joy of living. We believe that you are unique and that you will benefit from an individualized treatment plan that best serves your interest.
Chronic pain often starts after poorly healed trauma, failed surgery, or because of certain advanced diseases. When no other treatments can be offered to provide relief, medications may be necessary, alone or in conjunction with other interventions. Each patient's case will be reviewed and appropriate treatment with Belbuca or opiates initiated for those that meet the criteria.
Many people start to feel pain and stiffness in their bodies over time. Sometimes their hands or knees or shoulders get sore and are hard to move and may become swollen. These people may have arthritis. Arthritis may be caused by inflammation of the tissue lining the joints. Some signs of inflammation include redness, heat, pain, and swelling.
Your initial consultation will be aimed at thorough evaluation of your condition, review all supportive tests/studies and prior undertaken treatments (if any) to determine your plan of treatment. You most likely will be suggested to have a trial of an oral drug along with injections and other types of therapy to augment the relief of your pain.

I spent 6 months talking to the office staff, trying to get my records from various doctors during covid. The office staff are rude and one person twice hung up on me because I questioned why personal health information was required to be emailed to a non secure email address (in violation of HIPAA rules) Not once In six months and many phone calls did anyone ask me if my pain was caused by a traffic accident where there was a law suit pending. The day before my appointment - and after having driven to the office to physically hand over copies of my military ID, I received a phone call telling

Dr. Shimkus and her staff are amazing! They were able to get me in when other offices were as far out as 2 months. Dr. Shimkus takes the time to find out what your expectations are and then properly educate you on what she can realistically do to help manage your pain. She will give you all the tools and options to get on the mend. I absolutely recommend this office and Dr. Shimkus.

Great experience with Blossom pain management and staff and I love my Dr. Shimkus! We sat down had a serious discussion about what's going on and my situation. She actually listened to everything I had to say, treated me like a patient instead of a person. She is also very professional and so is the front desk (staff). I got referred here through my surgeon and now I can actually go back to work as a landscaper thanks to them. 5 stars all day !! Looking forward to a brighter future Thank God an thanks to Blossom

Blossom Pain Management is very professional. The staff is awesome. The doctor provides evidence base practices regarding chronic pain, exercise and sound regiment to follow to feel better. I am excited to begin another level to assist me with my chronic pain. The older you get the harder it is to manage chronic pain. The doctor is very supportive and relevant.

Update: Doctor Zhitar is no longer there and released his patients without anywhere to go. In the last meeting he accused his patients of not wanting to feel better. The last appointment was horrible, he acted bitter, and unfortunately I have a few weeks to find another doctor which is a short time for pain management.
Doctor Zhitar is a an amazing doctor! The wait can very anywhere between 30 min to 1.5 hours. Always come 30 minutes before your appt time. Nurses are nice. But, if you need anything done quickly or any prior authorizations or if you miss an appt, you will have to wait! Sometimes

I moved to Virginia from Florida with a workers comp case. Usually you don't get quality care. I have seen some doctors through this case that I would never recommend.
Since I was referred here at Blossom Pain Management it has been great. I see Dr Jeanette Shimkus, who is really great doctor. She listens to your needs, makes eye contact, really checks your lungs and heart and she assesses you every visit. Dr. Shimkus explains all your information in details and makes sure you understand.
Very calming office and great staff. They are always polite and ready to help. They try to fit you in as

Luckily, I am a proactive patient. After sending the referral 11/2018, I still had not been accepted as a patient. So with my broken tooth (four weeks ago Monday), I physically walked in to inquire what was going on. Not surprised that they were not taking me on as a patient. Their reason being none of the physicians feel comfortable or educated enough to treat a CRPS/RSD patient. I then proceeded to tell them to update their website withthe correct info.
I cannot speak about the reception staff or treatment given. But they don't even seem to be "bothered" by pain patients needing help. Be prepared
