I came here for the Axon treatment this morning and after the first treatment I was able to feel a difference in my pain level. The staff here are so professional and courteous, and attentive to your needs. They care about you, not just the patient, but you the person and I was highly impressed. They took the time to carefully explain each procedure and what to expect. I have been to other pain management organizations, and what I experienced was how to mask the problem with opioid therapy, rather than finding the source of my pain and then a solution. Here at Capital pain Institute, they were about finding the solution and discussing various treatment options. Im happy to have found this place and will continue to come here.

Dr.Amasha is very firm but gentle and kind at the same time. He answers questions and listens to the answers. While I know and understand I am his patient but he treats me like a person, and individual. His staff is the top-of-the-line. They are kind, courteous and very responsive. I drive 3 hours to see him and I wouldnt change for a more convenient distance. Most important he is a very good doctor. I have cut pain Rx by 2/3ds.I can move again, go fishing & work in my garden😁!

I saw several people for the first 3-4 months. One day -Mallorie (Nurse Practitioner) came in and we discussed the multiple health issues and what is or isn’t working to control my pain levels. She listens and is absolutely wonderful to work with! Coming up with alternatives that can help. I feel like *I am a part of my treatment*. The guidance of the Mallorie and the physician has been helpful.

Oh my goodness! If you’re looking for a pain clinic, look no further- seriously! This place is very nice- Shoutout to Dr. Church, what a kind, extremely smart, and understanding doctor. I have only had one appointment, and the staff has been so sweet and helpful.I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in April, and it has really knocked me down. I have joint pain that is indescribable, and can barely walk most days.I tried a different pain clinic before landing here with Dr. Church, and wish I would’ve started care with him in the first place! They have such a beautiful office as well!

My experience with capital pain Institute has been wonderful. Their Staff is always very responsive and attentive to my needs. My providers; Dr. Amasha and Sarah Zoeller really seem to have have the pulse on my healthcare needs and have helped me resume an active healthy lifestyle and Improve my overall quality of life. I’m truly grateful for their compassionate care. I would recommend Capitol Pain Institute to anyone who is Struggling with chronic pain desiring to improve their quality of life.

I had severe neck pain when I saw Dr Patel. Within a few minutes he diagnosed the issue and administered several injections that gave me immediate relief. He arranged a stat MRI that evening and administered epidural injections the next morning giving me complete relief.

I saw Dr. Blauzvern in 2017 for a very, very painful sciatica issue in my left hip and leg. He imploded a cyst, that was the culprit, with an injection of dye. He kept me out of surgery, walking without a cane, and PAIN FREE!I saw Dr. Blauzvern again today after an MRI showed a new cyst that had established itself on my right side, resulting in another very, very painful sciatica issue. Being the professional that he is, Dr. Blauzvern fully explained to me (in laymen terms) that it was not safe for him to initiate the same procedure that he performed in 2017. He did however, prescribe some medicine specifically designed for nerve pain (it worked!) and gave me names of three different doctors he felt confident could fix my problem.Chronic, severe pain like sciatica is a debilitating, life altering condition. Capitol Pain Institute is the company to see for such an issue. You just know that you are in good hands when you see the doctor. You just know that they are sincere with their approach to help you. You just know that you have come to the right place.....Capitol Pain Institute.

Had a great first appointment. I really like dr church. He was very patient, listened to my whole history and didn’t make me feel rushed. He was very knowledgeable and explained things thoroughly. His staff was also very nice and helpful.

Staff very knowledgeable and straightforward. Each client treated with respect and caring. Friendly but professional. Questions asked referred to best person with information available. I appreciate them very much.

Dr Church is so understanding and kind. He takes the time to listen to your progress and concerns with a very open mind! Really a great find for pain management and treatment.

Every time I come to CPI, I am given attention immediately by all the staff. I am not sitting around long and once Im in a room, my doctor does not take long to follow. Everyone is polite, professional as well as personable. They listen to you and assist in any way possible. I am not a big fan of going to the doctor but with the care I receive from the staff and doctors at CPI, I am very comfortable being there. Kudos to all who work at CPI.

Very impressed with Dr Cowan, Wendy (assistant) and Prerna (Clinic Supervisor & scheduler).Dr Cowan has developed an excellent and professional medical team that you can readily tell are truly interested in patient welfare. This was my first visit and I walked away feeling lucky to be assigned to Dr Cowans medical team.

Staff & doctors are great. Sometimes the wait can get a little long.

The Doctors and staff are great, very friendly and welcoming. Always take the time to listen and do everything possible to care for you. I have been in Dr.Shocketts care for a few years and my health has improved consistently and he’s always puts his best work in caring for you.

I have been a patient for several years at Capital Pain Institute and have always had a welcoming and informative experience during my office visits. Sherry is an amazing nurse and is quick to respond to patients needs. Mallorie is an amazing practitioner and has always presented many options for my pain management care. Having support and care from Capital Pain Institute has made a very positive impact on my life and I highly recommend them for any of your pain management needs.

This was my 1st time there..my doctor didnt know anything about me..and didnt have my records available..i was upset about that..i went to several specialists..before..I thought it would be different..i was disappointed..but I got a refill on meds..she asked me what was wrong..i told her the specialist diagnosed me with a incurable disease..i only get med refills..i dont know if Ill go back..after going to several doctors..MRIS..CAT SCANS..LAB WORK..AND XRAYS..I THOUGHT.. it would be better..

Dr Church and his excellent staff go above and beyond for their patients. When I became very sick and had to be hospitalized for an unexpected illness, Dr. Church made sure that all of my pain management needs going home were met post surgery eventhough it was the weekend. I highly recommend Capitol Pain Institute to anyone. They deliver total, compassionate care both physically and emotionally. They set the standard all others should emulate.

My customer service experience a capital pain Institute is very consistent. My customer service experience is consistently terrible at capital pain institute. The only reason I am still going to capital pain institute is because I am tied to them because of my spinal implant.

We have a very good experience whenever we come.Great people.who do a great job. Dr. Amasha is one of the best.

Have seen Mallorie on last two visits. Could not have had a better experience. Very patient, good listener, explains everything in a way that you can understand. Would recommend her to anyone

I work with Selina G. She is a P. A.I have autoimmune disease that is very complicated. Selina has truly saved my life and offers more than pharmaceuticals solution to pain. Selina works together as a team to treat you. I trust her medical opinion. Sometimes Selina will suggest a different route then just more pain medication.She is also respects that your pain is real.Her knowledge in pain management is invaluable.Angela P.

At first I was distressed to meeting with the NP instead of Dr Church. However I was very pleased with Colleen as she went over all my aches and pains. She did get Dr Church to step in for a minute to explain the procedures I will be having. Everyone is very nice and helpful.I want to especially say thank you to the front desk receptionists as they did all they could to help this grumpy old lady.

Ive been coming to Capitol Pain Institute for about 8 years. I have never had a bad visit. Dr. Amasha, Dr. Zoeller & all their staff are super nice & so courteous! Ive been to other pain management doctors & they do not even com close to the customer service or compassion for their patients like Capitol Pain Institute. I highly recommend this office 😊

The nurses and doctors are efficient and helped manage my pain. They also provided referrals to specialists to correct pain wherever possible. It has been a great experience and has helped an old guy keep up with a 5 year old son. Thank you.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Schocket and CPI for more than 11 years for care of spinal cord damage after an awful car accident. I cannot string enough compliments together that would convey the amazing care they have provided throughout the years.While most of the patients at CPI are struggling with movement and pain, I feel as if the physicians and care providers treat my pain as if I was their only patient and my pain was unique. Every visit I’m treated as if it were my first visit; very thorough ensuring that we cover every area of damage and how the medication is working.I recommend CPI for those who are seeking more than just pain relief. They work to get to the root of the pain and work harder to find permanent solutions rather than just give you a list of pills.

My visit was absolutely comfortable and resolution based. My anticipation was somewhat bothersome because visiting Capitol Pain Institute came about in my being transferred because the pain group I was with, the doctor retired and I felt I had to start all over at a beginning stage, but however the care I received was attentive, focusing on my situation and meeting my needs. I am very pleased. Research, testing as well as other attempts are rendered to classify and treat my condition. Capitol Pain Institute cares, I would recommend them to anyone that needs management for their pain. I thank the entire staff for their expertise.

Capital Pain, Dr. Amasha, is the best. Very compassionate care. The staff are great. Goes over and above to be sure you get the best care and relief from pain!

Dr Amasha is so personable. He listens and will allow you to choose from necessary options. The staff is extremely friendly. Never a problemAt this office.

Capitol pain has helped me lower my pain for sometime now. The front staff are always friendly and helpful and the doctors and PAs listen and understand what Im dealing with day to day.Never a long wait. I would highly recommend CPI to everyone that needs competent health care. Its here.Thank you CPI

Doctor Cowan and her staff have all been so knowledgeable of their duties and very friendly. I have been her patient for over a year. When Im in her office I feel like I am her only patient.I have COPD and I feel very uncomfortable with sedation. The nursing staff and anesthesiologist make me feel comfortable with the sedation and that they would be able to handle any breathing problem should it arise.I drive from the Huntsville area for my appointments. I wouldnt drive that far for just any Doctor.Ron S.

So Everytime I have had an appt the whole staff is welcoming and very attentive I would recommend them to people I care about because I feel like they care about me kudos Capital pain

Their physician visit side is horrible and their surgery center side is good. I dont know why the 2 sides of this business is so different, but they are. I work in healthcare and noticed fraudulent/shady billing for their routine urine testing. Pay X upfront or gamble that your insurance may not pay and then youll pay a much, much higher price. This is horrible. They do these tests constantly (in house) and know what insurances pay. They also have the ability to check benefits instantly for other things....this is a scam. Also you will notice they say things like: we cant see you for 2 things on one visit because we cannot bill your insurance. They make you set up 2 appointments so they can bill more. When I discovered they were doing shady billing for urine samples - the bill went from $150 to around $15. They also lied to me about why my medicine were never called in one Friday. This left me in pain for 3 days (they dont answer the phone on weekends). On one visit, they absolutely refused to see me because I was 5 minutes past their 15 minute cut off - that day I had to get Covid screened outside and wait on somebody in front of me to officially check in. This took the extra 5 minutes but I was told they would not see me. If you try to call their office, their phone system is horrible and it takes forever to reach the right person or get a call back.I dont like to do bad reviews but in this case, I am because I complained to their owner by email and he ignored me. No shock. I noticed that it is ok to ask me or other patients to wait up to 45 minutes to see them but we cant be late past their 15 minute deadline or our appointment is cancelled. I have an issue with providers in healthcare that have no compassion. Dont be fooled - this institute does not care or their management needs some serious training on how to fix all of these issues. It is not hard to be caring. People in healthcare can be callous sometimes as they see sick and hurt people all day long, but they must constantly be reminded their profession is to care and do it well. I dont have complaints about my other providers as they do have compassion on the sick or hurt. This is a pain institute but the owner(s) are greedy and self serving and their strict and foolish policies dont allow their staff to have compassion or make exceptions when they should. I would find another pain institute if I were you. If you dont you will soon find out how right I am.

Dr and Staff Very Kind And Helpful. ThankYou GOD BLESS!!

I receive excellent professional guidance from the medical assistant and the nurse practitioner at Capital Pain Institute in Austin TX. They are dedicated to their work and are truly interested in the health progress of their patients. They do all they can do to keep the patients informed and educated on the changes iin schedules due to the covid 19 pandemic. I appreciate their expertise.

Have seen some negative reviews about Capitol Pain, but my wife has had a completely different experience with Dr. Schocket and his excellent care team, particularly Selina Gawriluk. These folks really care about their patients and go the extra mile. Their administrative staff has improved immensely over the past six months and provide excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

Dr Desai was excellent and the staff was very patient, courteous, and kind. Thanks

I’ve been seeing Dr. Amasha for over 5 years, and he’s amazing! He truly cares about what is going on with you, and quickly addresses any concerns you have. I travel over an hour one way monthly, just to see Dr. Amasha, the staff is out of this world as well!

Been seeing Dr. Amasha for 3 years. Couldnt ask for a better doctor. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He truly cares for his patients and does everything he can to help them.

My first visit here. Staff was friendly, professional and very efficient.

They are very understanding regarding my husband, pain. The staff are patient, kind, warm and understanding with patients pain. Dr. Amasha is a great listener and takes his time understanding his pain and how to help.Thank you

Excellent office. Dr. Cowen and staff are marvelous. Easy to schedule. Great to work with. Very compassionate and accurate.

The doctors are caring individuals with your best interest at heart. They are good listeners and determine what is best for you medically. You might not like what they decide yet keep in mind these doctors know what they are doing. Dr. Shockett is the best doctor all around.

Everybody was very professional and they all deserve a pay raise..

Dr. Church is AMAZING! I came in over 6 months ago barely able to walk and using a cane. I was in SO much pain in my left hip and lower back. Now, I’m able to walk like a 20 year old. He was really diligent to find the exact source of my pain and then was able to address it successfully.

Dr. Amasha is amazing! I am a retired R.N. and I’m very careful when I choose a doctor. His knowledge and professional conduct is the best, I would give more stars if available. He truly cares about his patients welfare, he treats us (my husband and myself) like family and he makes sure he does everything available to him to keep us as healthy as possible. I hope he stays here for as long as we need him, anyone else would be a letdown. The staff is friendly and efficient. We have a 45 minute drive to get to the clinic, but we would travel as far as necessary to get there.

I first started seeing Dr. Shockett around 2016 and have had nothing but the greatest experience with him and his PAs. Ive been to other clinics and instead of listening they would just write everything off. EVERY Doctor and PA that Ive seen within 5 years has listened, understood, and sincerely just cared about my over all wellbeing. I wouldnt recommend any other clinic for Pain Management than Capitol Pain Institute. One of the best things that the VA has ever done for me is refer me to CPI and Im truly grateful.-10 year United States Army Combat Veteran-20 Years of Construction-Herniated Disc L5-S1-Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

After being recommended to visit with Dr.Desai. I was very excited for our conversation about my needs. Dr Desai was very encouraging and educated on the pros and cons. I loved that she listened and then asked questions and was genuinely interested. That I wasn’t just another patient she needed to have a conversation with then move to the next. I was very comfortable talking about my unusual situation with her. She reassured she would do her best to take care of what I was needing. Also the girls in the office were ABOVE AND BEYOND with there patient service. They made the process soooo easy and NO stress. I highly recommend Dr.Desai !!

Dr. Doll was very informative and had great bedside manner in my appointment. The staff were very kind, attentive and knowledgeable and I didn’t wait in the waiting room more than 5 minutes to check in and out. Only downside was that it seemed to be very busy so I don’t know about the sanitization level with how busy it was. Overall great experience

Dr Cowan and her staff were amazing. I had to give up working out due to chronic hip and back pain but just a week after my first treatment I was able to complete a 15 mile hike pain free!

Caring doctor and staff. Happy, relaxing and positive atmosphere

Dr. Amasha and the CPI team are Amazing. They are the best at accommodating our appointments!

I am a patient of Dr. Shockett, but I have been seeing Mallory. She is super personable and always attentive to my needs!!

Received very professional information with opportunity for me to make decision about my treatment plan.

Capital Pain is such a great help to control my pain. Every one is very kind and understanding. Highly recommend them

Dr. Doll and team are great! Dr. Doll bedside manner is very professional and friendly. The front desk girls are very prompt and make check in easy. They always run on time and you don’t usually have to wait to very long. Carrie always calls me back within a few hours, as I have a lot of health issues.I highly recommend her. Thank you Dr Doll

Extremely friendly, very busy, Dr. explained everything and answered all questions.

Dr.Desai is one of the best at Capital Pain she takes the time to actually listen and provide me with the care I need, oh the staff is wonderful I wish I could provide the young ladies name that checks me in she’s always cheerful and efficient, Thanks Capital Pain for all you do.....

I will never return to this place again. First of all I went back to Dr. Shockett because I had used him about 10 years ago for cervical spine pain before I finally gave in and had a fusion. Things have changed 100°. First of all I went in with the pain rating of 8 to 10, most to be in sciatica All he wanted to do is schedule me for a procedure. He gave me 12 pain pills to get by.. During my procedure it took 10 sticks for my sedation. One nurse even got angry during the chaos of getting my IV started and practically accused me of being an IV drug abuser. She asked me why I would go through so much for just a short period of the feeling of IV pain drugs. I reported that right then and right there when the unit manager came to help start my IV. Anyway ,after the steroid injection I got approximately 10 days of relief. When I called back they assured me they would get me in as soon as they could for another procedure and said they would call me in a few more pain pills. I was told they didn’t have another procedure time for about a month.They never called the pain in and continue to call me to set up a procedure again.( I assumed they had a cancellation ) I work Night and missed the call.. And when you call back you can’t get through to the extensions they give you. Then came the hateful phone calls after I left a message about my medicine in which I was crying because I was In so much pain.They just didn’t get it that I could not get through except an extension to The procedure scheduling lady. I left two messages with her and she never got back. I started figuring out that doctor Shockett, who cared tremendously about my pain 10 years before and would prescribe me medication to keep me out of pain without a problem. I don’t know how somebody can call their self a pain management practice when they want to give you 12 Norco at a time and it’s all about the high dollar epidural procedures .... I have not been on pain medication since my cervical fusion. I felt very much like I was treated like a drug seeker even when I wanted conscious sedation. With all that being said I will never feel so degraded as to go back there and be treated like that. I feel it’s all about the big money they can get from you and your insurance for the very expensive procedures that take all of about five minutes !!!!Moral to the story is if you want somebody that truly cares about your pain, stay far far away from this place. !!!!!!!!!!After $750 for 10 days of relief

I’ve been a patient for some time and I’m very appreciative of the partnership with the physicians and staff. It’s great having a medical team listen to your needs to create an effective treatment plan. They have excellent communication (in a very timely manner) and always follow through on commitments. A number of times they’ve gone above and beyond when dealing with insurance company delays/issues and took action to ensure my treatment wasn’t affected - can’t overstate how fantastic this type of support is to a patient!

Dr. Desai is awesome she never fails to actually listen!! I went into her office for a procedure yesterday because I was having trouble walking due to intense pain in my lower back and legs. This morning, Im able to walk without the intense pain. I cant thank her enough!

My provider came out to my car for my personal protection since I’m high risk.She gave me attention as she always does!

I couldnt be any happier with the good people working at Capitol Pain Institute. Dr. Amasha is a great doctor who listened to me as I told him what my issues were. He was a wealth of information and explained to me in detail on what I needed to do to get healthy. His aid, Natasha Pena, went above and beyond while working with my insurance company to make sure my care and medications were covered. She was friendly and helpful every step of the way and took the time to keep me informed of the progress she was making and what was needed to complete the process. I had a very pleasurable experience with Capitol Pain Institute.

My experience with Capital Pain, and specifically Dr. Jonathan Church, is exceptional!As a long time Healthcare provider myself, and a chronic pain patient for more than 18 years, I have experienced the good and the worst pain management physicians available. I admit my standards are high, but Dr. Church exceeds my expectations!I admit, I had NEVER experienced such exceptional knowledge, thorough clinical expertise, and genuine empathy all in the sameprovider until my visit with Dr. Church!I am not an easy patient, as I suffer from more than 4 autoimmune disorders. With the Opiate Crisis, many physicians have become fearful of treating true medically induced pain. There were some practices in Texas which were questionable and had become pill mills for those with substance abuse/addiction issues. However, many patients remain lwho have true medically induced pain, and deserve pain management! I had given up on finding an ethical, skillful, knowledgeable, and compassionate specialist....,..until I found Dr Church!If you are looking for an exceptional Pain Management physician, who will partner with you in achieving evidence-based, compassionate treatment, I highly recommend Dr Church!My consultation with Dr. Church, restored something I had long lost......hope! Hope for finding cutting edge treatment strategies which actually MANAGE the excruciating pain!

I live in the country. Not that many people around so worries about Covid are few. Going into Austin is a different matter. Being able to have virtual doctor visits serves the purpose of visiting with the doctor without any of the worries of coming in contact with the virus. Seems like it’s the best of both worlds.

I have been seeing Dr Desai at Capitol pain for many years, She is a perfect pain management Dr. She spends time with you and really listens. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a pain management Dr.

I’m always greeted with a smile. This sets the right environment for those of us which suffering with chronic pain.

Dr. Blouzvern took such great care in explaining all the options I have for my lower back pain. I have complete confidence that I will get the very best care. His staff, especially check-in personnel, were so kind. I’m so grateful that Dr Smith sent me to him.

I just completed my initial consultation with Dr. Schocket and his NP, Mallorie, and it was great. They took the time to listen to my detailed back history, asked probing questions, and answered all of mine. I got a strong sense that they have empathy for their patients and I am entering into their treatment protocol with hope, which can be a rare thing for folks like me experiencing chronic pain.

I have had chronic pain for many years. I have gone to multiple specialists, had every test imaginable and in worse pain than ever. I have just started seeing Dr Church. All I can say is that he really listens to me as a patient. He is the unicorn in the land of doctors because he listens and hears you. That is a major component on the road to pain relief. He takes his time to look through tests and suggest options, explaining his logic and how it will help pain relief. I would recommend him to anyone that is seeking pain relief. The office staff makes it easy to set up an appointment and communicate with as they have some sort of cool texting system. (Don’t abuse it lol) But in all seriousness, your pain relief quest will be on the right path by seeing Dr Church. He is a kind, intelligent and compassionate warrior for pain relief.

Dr Amasha and Natasha Pena have been very accommodating to my very dynamic and busy schedule. They are always happy to help and friendly in doing so. i have been with the organization for 7 years and my overall experience has been greatJohn

Dr.Amasha is a very caring and wise man in his field . The staff is very polite .

Dr. Desani is great...

Virtual visits can be weird sometimes but I’m pleased with the experience I had. Dr.Desai addressed all of my questions and needs. She is understanding and informative when it comes to recommending new treatments for me to try. I am confident that she will continue working to find the right treatment for me until I am satisfied and pain free.

I have been going to capital pain institute for about 3 years and in those 3 years I have not had any problem. Everyone at the front is very polite to all the patients, there always eager to help patients as they enter the door. They answer all of your questions in a timely manner, there always smiling. I would say continue doing an awesome job to the patients. If you called and left a message they calls you back in a timely manner and take care of you. Keep up the great work that each of you are doing and keep smiling even if youre not feeling well. I am ecstatic to be a patient.

I had problems w/neck causing numbness in fingers & arm tingling to point of me crying & ki can usually take pain. Under CPI I am now able to manage it w/medication and occasional injection. All personnel are professional & caring.

Ive been seeing Doctors, etc. at Capitol Pain Institute for almost 30 years; For the last few years I travel back to Austin, inorder to receive the same Care, Treatment, and professionalism, which means a lot as I am Distrusting of VA and Workers comp Doctors and treatment centers, with good reason, after surviving horrid experiences, Thank you all for treating me as an individual and not a Social Security Number.

Wonderful experience knowledgeable doctor great service

I have had a great experience here. I switched from central Texas pain because I felt I wasn’t getting the care I needed. Dr. Doll found I had a hip fracture on my first visit, something my old doctor overlooked. She’s great. Down to earth. She recommends what is BEST for your treatment and won’t do stuff that isn’t needed. I am happy I changed doctors. I don’t feel like I have to look into what’s in my medical records here. I recommend capital pain

I love my Dr.Cowan. Had a procedure today and she makes me feel better physically and emotionally every time I see her. She fixed my spine fracture and had the reps fix my programming something that had been neglected before I started seeing her. Whenever I tell her how swell she is, she tells me it’s her privilege to take care of me. What a sweetheart y’all. Good looking gal. Great doctor. Really cares.

Everything was great! From the waiting room to procedure scheduling. Dr. Desai was attentive and very thorough. Would definitely recommend this practice to anyone!

I cant say enough great things about Dr. Amasha and his staff. Dr. Amasha is a God sent. The treatment I have received has made a big difference in my life. His office staff is courteous and professional. They get things done fast with very little wait.

Dr. Raimy Amasha of Capitol Pain Institute has very little regard for his patient’s lives outside of his office, or possibly, certain patients. It’s not clear to me. What does seem clear is the fact that he does make sure he has the means to collect his patients payments at all times. Don’t get me wrong, this is what any smart business man does, however I’m not convinced his 1st priority is to serve the needs of patients fully. Does he evaluate his patients as a whole? Patients go to see their doctors with hope that he or she will provide the means for a better quality of life. It’s not just about the ailment/diagnosis. And any biases a doctor has personally, should have no influence on their decisions to provide treatment. This is a rule of ethics.My husband had an appointment to see Dr. Amasha, but instead he sees his nurse, since Dr. Amasha was in surgery that day. My husband explains to the nurse his ongoing issue of radiating back pain & the severity of it. The previously intermittent pain he c/o is now constant & interfering with his ability to do his job daily. Also, his pain scale, which she never asked, is now ranging from 7-10 out of 10 with OTC meds & his urgency to urinate is frequent.He leaves the appointment w/ no prescribed meds & describes how dismissive the nurse was toward his complaints. Dr. Amasha later in the day calls in a prescription for an opioid, but now there’s another issue. Although the opioids will help with his pain, his job will not allow him to work while using this medication. It’s a state law in fact. This is actually no problem, because he can work through this issue & get the necessary help he needs by going out on short term leave insurance. The doctors approval is needed for this.So my husband contacts Dr. Amasha’s office again to explain this & talks to some nurse/assist who explains that basically Dr. Amasha doesn’t do that. In fact she says, Dr. Amasha says it’s not his job to put patients out of work. (Huh???) Dr. Amasha instead orders a Capacity exam, equivalent to a Worker’s Comp exam to determine if he can work. Mind you, my husband is not a new patient w/ Dr. Amasha & he’s had several tests & scans completed, as well as numerous office visits to confirm his condition.Reminder: Dr Amasha put him on Opioids because he knows the extent of his condition & his pain. He also determined that surgery is needed. So why does he need this exam? My husband reached out to an Advocate Nurse for help, explained his situation & she was confused as well.Understand the ripple effect that could occur:- Dr. Amasha does not provide an excuse for short term leave.- My husband will have to use PTO for the days he’s off.- When PTO runs out, he won’t get paid.- If he doesn’t get paid, how does he provide?- If he can’t go back to work soon enough, his job could disqualify him.- If he gets disqualified, he could possibly lose his job- If he loses his job, he loses his insurance.- If he loses his insurance, he can’t go to the doctor.- If he can’t go to the doctor, he can’t treatment or surgery.This is easy for any rational minded person to understand!Dr. Amasha is the leader of his office & sets the tone for his staff. This tendency to disregard patients & their issues is an ugly flaw. I understand they see all types of patients, on a daily basis; some who complaint a lot, some who complaint little, some even lie. I imagine that eventually they’ve been desensitized & subconsciously developed some sort of radar system to judge their patients. As I stated before, any biases one has personally, should have no influence on their decisions to provide treatment. Patients should not be made to feel like you don’t care or don’t trust them!If my husband was misjudged for some liar trying to get out work & abuse Opioids, then you’re clearly mistaken! You Dr. Amasha & your entire staff all need some additional training on integrity & operating from an ethical stance. This is just as important, if not more then, as treating your patient’s conditions.

My experience at Capital Pain Institute on Shoal Creek Pkwy. Dr. Desai at first was professional for the 1 time I saw her after that she started sending me other doctors I didn’t even know. I chose her for the doctor and I saw every doctor except her. They are very unprofessional I have never seen a clinic this way in my entire life. It’s all about the money to her she doesn’t care anything about the patient not at all. They change policies like everyday living. I had to dismiss this place I wouldn’t tell my worst enemy about this place. I wouldn’t recommend this place to no one. Further more they decided not to send me my medication 1 day before they changed policies so I didn’t get my medicine. They wanted me to come in again and pay another co-pay before I could get my medicine. I told them to keep it even though I am in severe pain I can’t deal with these people anymore. Now you won’t be able to change my pharmacy again. Terrible place don’t go here.

These folks wasted my time and $45 copay because their billing department neglected to tell the schedulers that the surgery center where they do procedures is out of network for my plan (UHC). Meaning I’d have to pay thousands out of pocket for the procedures. I liked Dr. Church, but believe the reviews that say their staff is unorganized. $45 is a lot of money to me right now, let alone thousands. Frustrating waste of time!

Friendly courteous staff and Dr. Amasha spends a more than adequate time with me....Thanks

Everyone was so helpful with everything. Efficient and caring. Dr S and nurses were great!!

CAPITOL PAIN is an excellent clinic. The staff and especially Dr Doll are so comforting. They treat me with compassion and dignity. I would reccomend this clinic to anyone!

I have been going to Capital Pain for a few months after extensive back surgery. I was sure the pain may never go away but after working with Dr Amasha all of a sudden the pain let up and I was able to get off opioids!!!!! I and my doctor are very happy. Dr did one round of injections which took a while to work but they helped tremendously! So pleased to say I’m off opioids!!! Thank you Dr Amasha and staff!!

All the staff was very friendly.

I had a visit with Sarah yesterday and she was extremely informative and Alyssa is as well. I love the nurse practitioner and staff. They are very friendly and like a breath of fresh air compared to other Dr offices and Priscilla as well is great. Keep doing what you are doing because you all rock!!

Dr. Renee Doll is a wonderful and supportive pain doctor. She uses different methods for controlling my pain. I highly recommend the doctors and nurses at Capitol Pain Institute.

Dr Cowan is absolutely amazing!! She sincerely cares about providing all of her patience truly exceptional healthcare!!

I have to say my experience went from a 10 to a 1 after waiting (still waiting) 3+ days for them to send over my prescription for my back. While i wait in pain. Every time I call they act like they are put out having to help me.

My experience for the first five years at pain management was fantastic Dr Amasha was and is the most compassionate loving caring smartest doctor I’ve ever had he is on top of things!!!! He hired a new nurse last year Natasha there is no reason for her to treat me the way she does!! She is rude spiteful and I could say a lot more but I won’t because I love and respect my relationship I have with Dr Amasha and the rest of the staff they are the best!!!

When making appointment the scheduler went to extra lengths to help me with my new insurance to know what my costs would be.I was able to get an appointment quickly. Check-in was easy & all COVID precautions were taken. LOVED that they had “The Office” on TV in waiting room!I was seen promptly - Dr. Desai was very thorough in her history taking & has a nice manner.

After many visits over the years to various neurologists, Dr. Schockett is the first doctor that has a plan for relief of chronic migraines. He is also able to help with lower back and hip pain. He is professional and direct. Malerie is his PA and is a delight to work with. I’m looking forward to some relief.

Dr. Cowan has been so supportive of my care, Im very happy that she is my doctor.

Very professional staff with fantastic bedside manner. They walk my speed and don’t leave my side. Love their smiles!!

Im always welcomed with a smile and howdy.Love each and everyone of you

The staff was very polite and very competent. Dr. Amasha took his time with me to explain everything and answered all my questions.
