I've worked with Brenda Ansel since 2015 and she's sent me in the right direction when dealing with bulging disks, lower back pain and arthritis - she's helped me to be as pain free as I can. And her assistant Whitney has been great too. Both of the them listen to me, they're not only professional but have a friendly manner too!

Brenda is attentive and cares about my situation.

Dec 22, 2024
Dr. Ansel prescribed a bupro patch for the patient when other pain meds were causing cognition issues and spinal injections were no longer of benefit. Although not solving the pain issue, it is mitigating the condition enough so that there is an acceptable quality of life at least part of the time. She takes the time to explain, even several times, if necessary, to the patient, why the meds should not be increased, etc. -- conscious of trying to help a cognition challenged person maintain dignity.

She is fairly knowledgeable about treatment and conditions. I just wish that there was more options out there for me. She’s nice but she has let me know we’ve pretty much exhausted our options.
