I’ve always given five very enthusiastic stars for Dr. Stinson and his nursing team, especially Tim and Hope. However, in my most recent experience, none of those people were there, and the quality of care was lessened. There were relaxed standards for the procedure room where sterile
technique is supposed to be used and no oxygen support during the procedure which always made me feel a little safer. The warm blankets always helped with my anxiety over procedures, and those weren’t available either.
Everyone was kind and the procedure went fine, so the above changes have more to do with comfort

After dealing with lower back pain for 7 years and trying everything available in the Chiropractic sector, I was referred to this clinic by my physical therapist. Dr Sola Olamikan and his team are wonderful! He provided me a level of education on the “how and why” of my issues, and offered different levels of treatment and procedures. He has such a warm and upbeat personality that completely melts your stress and anxiety away. I’m so lucky to have finally found a doctor who cares about my outcome. Looking forward to relieving this chronic pain!

I wish I could give zero stars. I was referred to this office by my ins. the day after they got my referral they denied me as a pt because I want to find other ways of managing my pain than meds once I can get off of them. I still need to see a pain management office to help me ween of meds and help with pain management. my previous office only gave pills and wouldn't let me seek other forms of pain management because they won't get paid. The fact of the matter is I need a pain management dr to let me know if the course I am seeking will help my pain or not and prescribe it as a treatment but no

Amazing staff! I've been a patient for several years and have always been grateful that they understand that it's not just about pain relief, but getting back to an active lifestyle! (I can pick my kids up again!) I also appreciate that their proactive approach to pain management differs from other practices. They are not pill pushers, and Dr. Stinson is known in medical circles for his stance against opioid dependance. I can't say enough, but you are in good hands with this group!

I have been seeing Doctor Stinson and his staff at Advanced Pain Centers of Alaska for the last 12 years, and consider him a lifesaver! Too many surgeons don't refer patients to a pain management specialist when they feel there is nothing more they can do surgically, leaving people struggling with chronic pain.
I shattered L2 in an accident (which by all rights should have left me paralyzed) and had to have L1-L3 fused. Surgery revealed I had osteoporosis in my spine, and my vertebrae didn't hold the screws properly. A significant curve developed, which has progressively compressed the disks below

South Anchorage Surgery Center, LLC- this center is great. They are competitive price with everyone else. Quality of doctors is better. And the support is all about the client. And getting them to a better place of health and achieve a higher quality of life. Because of this facility I am able to have a good quality of life, not one of sitting home in pain. After many surgeries Dr. Stinson has been able to keep me pain free without taking medication daily. He has diagnosed many issues that I have spent years with other doctors that have no clue.

This entire place is a scam , only one "doctor" that sounds like he knows what's going on but in reality he's just good at talking and a person you won't ever get to see but once , the rest of the doctors "retired" all of a sudden . This place has a revolving door staff that also says alot about the place . They push unnecessary medicine, shots/injections that do absolutely nothing but drain your wallet .
"Oh you're in pain here's some pain pills and I recommend some shots /injections . We will do this for about 3 or 4 years until you catch on and then we'll pretend like everything is great as

Dr. Stinson was super helpful to me when I needed a second opinion about my current medications. He was forthright, honest and paid meticulous attention to detail. I was very appreciative! Now, my son is having some terrible problems with scoliosis. There's been a mixup in some paperwork but today we discovered the problem, so my son will be able to see Dr. Stinson very soon. I'm sure he will be able to help my son figure out the best way to handle this on-going, never-ending pain that comes with scoliosis.
