My experience with Dr.Giirardi was awesome. I read the other reviews. The bad ones were about billing problems and not being given pain pills. Who hasnt had a problem with billing sometime in their life? And hello, why prescribe opiates when the doctor is looking for a long-term solution, not a bandaid. Lastly, someone was mad because they felt a staff member was rude. Well snowflake, welcome to life.....

Dr Girardi is absolutely top in his field. I would never consider any other doctor for treating my condition. The injections I receive once a year have eliminated my pain by at least 90-95 percent, and increased the quality of my life by 100 percent. Five stars are not sufficient to define a doctor of such high caliber in his field. And I must also mention his professional, considerate and compassionate staff. To say they compliment what Dr. Girardi does is an understatement. I would recommend this doctor to anyone with chronic pain. I give him 10 stars! THANK YOU Dr. Girardi. I got my injection yesterday and I feel better already!Alana Minor

I would not recommend this office to anyone. A good friend of mine has severe spinal stenosis. She went from walking to wheelchair in 4 months because she is in such pain. The initial visit, the first thing the PA said wasWe dont give opiates. Take Tylenol. She has 2 injections, which neither worked. Needless to say, she is in severe pain and they refuse to give her one pain pill. It was also recommended for her to have the Vertiflex surgery which Medicare would pay for, but, Medicaid wouldnt pay their part. I just dont understand it! Yes, there is an opioid crisis , but, does that mean a senior lady has to suffer unnecessarily? The clinic needs to change their sign to Front Range Alternative Medicine because they do NOT help people with real pain. We are more sympathetic to animals.

I have been a patient with Dr Girardi on and off (as needed) since 2003. I have always been treated with respect by him, as well as his entire staff. He has treated me with injections multiple times, with positive results. I highly recommend him, as well as his associates!

Very incompetent staff and doctor for that matter! My wife was seen in the office on two different visits was provided all of her insurance and they didnt bill all of them was left with a 62.00 balance because they didnt bill all of the insurance, due to circumstances we had to move several times and they were unable to get a hold of us so they sent us to collections and so she was discharged from the practice. I do recommend that you find a different doctor a more competent doctor thanks to that doctor she is now disabled with an in curable non-treatable condition! We were trying to give him an option to fix what he messed up but $62 that they didnt bill keeps me from that. That is ok Im hoping my next doctor will agree to testify in the lawsuit against them!Signed,Concerned Husband

Dr Girard is the most egotistical, arrogant and rude Physician I have ever seen. He made me feel like I was wasting his valuable time. I would never refer him to anyone.

Im giving Dr Girardi a 5 star rating. He’s managed my back pain for the past 18 years from an injury at UPS with out surgery and medication. Cortisone Shots for 15 of those years and then he thought I’d be a great candidate for a Rhizotomy (cauterizing nerve endings that lead to the spine). Back in late 2016. This is now my 2nd procedure (1st Jan 2017, 2nd Oct 2018).and the pain has subsided to a 4 from an 8 back 6 weeks ago when the nerves reconnected. 2nd procedure was done 3 Oct and today is 2 days after and im at a 4. It should get to a 3 in the next couple weeks add stay there for about 12 to 16 months. The nerves slowly grow back ( millimeters at a time) and once they reconnect you’ll tell. This has been the “wonder” procedure for me no surgery and medication. Thank you Dr Girardi. 3cheers for this Dr and setting me back on a life of tolerable pain levels for work and my personal life.

The worst pain management Ive ever been to; the first time I was offered a spine electrode which was to stop the nerves from responding to the brain which were signaling pain. I had a positive reaction and this was an external procedure not an implanted. Dr. Girardi suggested a permanent implant, I agreed. After the procedure was finished, I had a strange feeling in my stomach where I was not hungry when I turn on the implant, I told Dr. Girardi of this discomfort. He made arrangements to have an X-Ray. When the results were disclosed, that one of the electrodes on my right side went straight and parallel to my spine, the other electrode made a J formation. When I spoke with Girardi, he asked me how did I do this?. He did not take the responsibility of this, he blamed me. Seriously, how could I perform this procedure? Even a surgeon could not perform this procedure by himself. Then I went in to have this corrected, instead of just replacing the J implant of which I was being informed by Dr.Girardi a replacement for the J electrode . I was giving (not to my knowledge) a whole different procedure which involved having a laminectomy on T-4&T5, I have never had any problems in this area till Girardi put his knife into me. I was never informed this procedure would happen. I have more severe pain since the last surgery so I then I had Girardi remove the implants which I thought would return me to my physical status before I had first visited Girardi. No such luck my back is in a worst condition now and it is getting worst on a daily bases and I would not recommend this butcher to anyone with their hopes of elevating pain, not even a dog.
