I went here almost 5 years with no problems until their doctor that did my injections left anyone that goes there will no this doctor by his saying when you start hurting and your meds seem to no longer help just tell them "to nip it in the bud"(the doctors that wants to push pills to patients who really don't need them) are still there running people through lines as animals not caring if the patient is being helped. I am a diabetic and they said I had alcohol in my urine test I have NOT drinked alcohol for many years! I go to Markey's every 3 months for complete blood work because my leukemia

So to start of Dr Hummel is an amazing doctor!! I love being her patient. She actually listens to what I say and my concerns. I appreciate all her advice and the answers to my questions. I’ve had some really horrible doctors in my past, having many complex health conditions can be intimidating but Dr Hummel takes it completely while being so so nice. The nurses and lab techs are wonderful as well! Not a bad thing to say about them! The front staff can be a bit stand offish and short. I have had good experiences with the front desk people, I think their moods vary with how busy they are so I understand

I had been to the ER the day before i went there due to extreme pain. I told them this, and they went ahead and seen me. On my 4th trip there after my 3rd was an SI injection, O seen a PA Rebecca Moore, she talked to me in such an unprofessional manner, I could not believe it, over a DUI 15 yrs ago, then went on to state i had failed my drug test, yes was anyone not listening when I said I had been to ER on day prior to coming to see them the 1st time. She discharged me from my meds and asked me if I still wanted to come for my injections and I replied Yes. Drive all the way there plus take a day

Dr.A Modadugu is an excellent pain physician. I've been dealing with chronic headaches for 16 years. He has consistently brought new treatments to the table and I can honestly say that he has helped improve my quality of life tremendously. I would recommend his staff as well as the clinic to anyone who truly wants to live a life as close to or pain free as possible as soon as possible. Thanks again for everything Dr. MO.

If I could give less than 1 star I would! This place is far from professional. I had read the horrible reviews but remained hopeful in anticipation of my appointment hoping for pain relief from facet syndrome along with a myriad of other spinal conditions, until my surgery date in August. The office location was suspect, as it appears to be in the back alley of some sort of strip mall complex. The receptionist was nice enough but inside the office was more the atmosphere of my local tire and lube shop waiting room, rather than a respectable doctor's office. The wait was a bit long, but new patient

I was a patient for a year. Dr Ma kept insisting on injections after me telling him I was a diabetic and the injections would cause me harm. He held my pain pills hostage meaning he was adament about injections. So I did the procedure once. I couldn't walk for a few days and was in bed in extreme pain for a week. And my blood sugar was off the charts. So I cancelled the second injection and Dr Ma not only cut the strength of pain meds in half he also cut the quantity. I went from 4 10mg pain meds to 3 5mg pills. Needless to say he was pissed that I didn't do that second injection. This clinic does

If I could give half a star that would be accurste. The staff was amazing as far as the Dr pellant he doesn't care or want to hear any thing an was ready to get you out of his way worse physician I have ever seen. If someone is hurt enough for a surgeon to refer them he could at least listen to the patient instead of treating someone like a drug addict when pain medicine wasn't even asked about or for them.. It was a waste of my time the shots was heard to be great help but he seems not to care.
