I had to wait 45 minutes past my appointment time before being taken to exam room. I had one question which was not answered: "How will I know when I will need another RFA treatment?"

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Amanda does a great job administering my Botox treatments. I do feel that it is ridiculous for you to require me to arrive at my appointment 15 minutes early or you mark me a no show. There is no grace given. If my appt. is for 10:00 I should at least be given until that time to arrive. This has caused me to have to use more than my allowed lunch hour multiple times. At my last appt. I wasn't taken back for vitals until 40 minutes past my scheduled appt. time. Which I showed up early for. You need to do better!!!

Mar 21, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
That it was the worst I have ever been treated in a Dr office. Amanda came in after several minutes and sat down at the desk and never said Hello or anything. After a few minutes I said I wasn't sure I would want an injection in my back and she got up and walked out. Never said a word to me all the time she sat there not even a Hello. I have never had a nurse or a doctor treat me so poorly and I would never give the pain clinic a good rating.

Mar 20, 2026
Always helpful and educating!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Overall it was an okay experience. I’ve been trying to get to next stage of treatment after lumbar shots and pain block did not successfully block the pain in my back. Now just waiting to see neurosurgeon on what is next. Thanks to Amanda she made that possible.
