Ive been a patient here since 2016. Neelam Galais very compassionate, and caring. Ive got a rare condition that displaces my ribs at the joint, and wouldnt want to get treated anywhere else.

If I could give this place and this doctor NO stars, I would.I was referred to this so called doctor because of sever back pain cause by a herniated vertebrae, two slipped discs, arthritis and a sciatic nerve pinched so severely that I had no feeling in the surface of my skin.Disregarding the hike it was to find the office WITH BACK PAIN, the visit was possibly the worst encounter I’ve ever had with a “doctor”. He lead by asking what I would like to try between doing nothing and getting injections. I said, “I would like to have pain management so that I can continue the strengthening exercises to get movement back. From that point on, it was a game of “let’s get her to admit she’s a drug addict.” At a certain point in the appointment, I was so confused as to what he was even trying to say or do. Because it turned into him trying to convince me that if I chose to medicate my pain, I would FOR SURE become addicted.I told this man, “I can to you because I was told you had an expertise in this field allowing you to access and treat in ways my primary could not.” He cut me off, and I aloud said, “I was trying to communicate with you and all you’ve done is interrupt me. Go ahead.” He didn’t say anything after that. Left my room and I had to walk myself out of the office.The most insensitive doctor I have ever met. I wouldn’t recommend him to a elective-suicide patient.

Update: Dr. Schmidt left this practice but I stayed. Now seeing Dr. Bernadini and he is just wonderful!Dr. Schmidt and his staff are fantastic. I have now visited with the doctor 4 different times and find a consistency of concern for my well-being, a realistic and honest approach to my condition, and a willingness to work with whatever he can to improve the quality of my life. The staff are personable and efficient. This is a great place for people with pain.

Wanted s good pain Doctor that could help me with continuous pain problems. Had Dr. Smith recommended, made an appointment and he made a very good impression. Spinal stimulation was recommended and first go round was successful.Now have additional surgery done by an other Dr. The only time out of numerous visits to the office that I have had contact with the Drs. is during surgery.Getting a return call from the office staff takes forever,. Answering machine says they will get back in 24 hours!!!. HOPE YOU ARE NEVER IN A RUSH WITH AN EMERGENCY..

I have been under Dr. Checas care for almost two years now and he has been an exceptional doctor! I have a rare disease which he has spent time learning about and keeping up on new research and treatments even though he just manages the pain aspect of my disease. He also communicates very well and on a regular basis with all of my other specialists...if your sick you know how rare this is. In April of this year, I was thrown a curve ball and found out I am expecting...some of my meds have changed, obviously, but Dr. Checa has gone above and beyond to ensure that he is able to provide me with the best care possible. I cant recommend him enough to others who have had a rough medical history and are looking for a specialist in pain management to manage their pain. My pain was being managed by a palliative care doctor prior to switching to Dr. Checa, and I am glad I made the decision to change.

Was seen as a new patient for having cluster headaches. I spoke to the Dr and after my very short visit, i was billed over $1,000!!! How can they justify that!? He prescribed me some meds and that was all.

Echo what others are saying. This clinic and it’s staff represent the worst of our health care system. They don’t answer or return calls; charge $400 for a visit after making you wait 2 hours; this is 3rd world medicine! Look elsewhere at all costs - they are the worst!

Total staff are polite and courteous..Dr Checa shows the right amount of concern and empathy for patients with pain. They always discuss your total treatment plan and options.

Want to talk to a person? Make an appointment. Want to make an appointment? Good luck.

If I could give negative stars I would. I am in severe pain among other things after a procedure they performed on Monday. I have called at least 15 times since then and I am continually told someone will call me back and no one ever does. What kind of doctors office doesn’t return calls and help someone having a serious medical issue? Everyone at that office needs to be investigated for criminal negligence and fired.

Amazing been to other clinics none are as professional with as many resources as Pain MD.

If I could - a star, I would. false advertising is first clue how deceitful and afraid to treat pain they are, watch your pocket book!They advertise the use of Ketamine, a safer EFFECTIVE NO OPIATE MANNER TOO CONTROL PAIN THAT WORKS, EVEN ON NERVE PAIN!THEYLL DO RISKY INJECTIONS, AND STEM CELLS BONE MARROW IS NOT A STEM CELL! But its your body they play god with.....shame. CDC GUIDELINES ARE JUST THAT, GUIDELINES; NOT A MANDATED LAW.Absolute fraudulent advert.DONT BE STUPID, KETAMINE IS LIFE CHANGING FOR CHRONIC PAIN, THE RISKS LOW. Lower than any INJECTIONS or opiate..EUROPE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SAFELY USE KETAMINE AND ONE DR I KNOW OF IN COLO Prescribes IT.FALSE ADVERTISING IS NOT KOSHER IS IT, BY LAW????

Terrible lack of compassion for a Medicaid patient who had private insurance for 35 yes, and has taken pain and anxiety meds (thru Pain M. Clinics in UT.)and from a local PA! over 8 years! They Cut me off cold turkey and refused meds. O had only a few spares to taper off with. Did not return calls during Scary detox on a weekend. I had to drive there during dystonia to try to get a bridge.Did not prescribe good alternatives. Did not look at my imaging or believe I have EDS.Dr. C was very mean. PA still will not refill non opiate meds and the PCP she referred will not accept me either. Have been without proper treatment 6 months. Including Klonopin and Morphine for anxiety and brain deformity. Invisible pain and illnesses are as real as ones you can see!

I was patient there 3 yrs ago and if it was for the great doctors and staff I would have gotten the help I truly needed!

These fantastic dedicated people do great work in helping manage pain

Not a nice man. Seemed to express to me that I was just there for pain pills. I didnt even asked to go to him. My doctor referred me to him.I didnt even want pills and didnt get any cause all I wanted was to find out what was wrong with me. I chose PT

Horrible staff! They are rude the place is crowded disorganized. No thank you!

Cant ever reach anyone? Calling BBB
