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.
