Anthony F Afong's Online Review Report Card

I have multiple issues from breast cancer to motorcycle accident and arthritis they take very good care of me.

Excellent

Excellent bedside manner very professional physician.

Dr Afong really has the best bed side manner and offers an array of options to fix the problem rather than mask it I wish I found this Dr years ago. He is truly amazing

The doctor and his staff are wonderful. Ive been treated professionally and compassionately with insight into my problems and options for pain relief. I recommend this facility highly.

Very clean professional office employee treat u as a patient should be with care and respect. No more than 15 min waiting before u are attended to all employees answer all your questions immediately and language that u understand their procedure room very organized and also very clean the nurses and PA take all necessary precaution to make sure that when u leave there u no questions on your mind. I was told for 3 years that my medicial infused pump which is located in my stomach could not be drained and old meds could not be extracted before the new ones were injected into my pump well I was in shock when the PA told me how much medication she extracted before refilling my pump. Their surgical procedure rooms are just as organized and clean along with all personnel who will by in the Operating Room with you come and introduce them selves to you. Ive been to plenty of Pain management offices and procedure rooms and Operating rooms see I suffer with about 6 nurve disorders and I can say Dr. Afongvand his staff have been the best Ive been to from New Jersey to Florida.

I have been going to National Pain Institute for about a year and have received several injections. The staff has always treated me well and always seem friendly. So far I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received.

They are absolutely the best Great friendly staff They really care about you as a person. I was referred to them by my doctor at a very low point in my life after my accident. They took the time to really get to know me while treating my injury.

Dr. Afong was very compassionate and really took his time with me. The office professionals were friendly and very helpful.Dr. Afong throughly reviewed my medical records and imaging dvds. I received a top to bottom physical exam checking out the areas of concern.Ive had spinal disease from my neck to lower back for over 10 years. I was not prescribed pain medication as most pain management MDs do at your first visit. I was offered an option that could be a more longterm solution.Its called a MILD procedure. MILD is an acronym for Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression. It is a sameday procedure.Having worked in the medical field for years I did my research. I used the nih.gov National Institute of Health website. If you take your time going through the site you will find a wealth of information.I was particularly interested in the clinical trial participation of those 65 and over and the short and longterm outcomes of the procedure. If you do not have an understanding of complex medical research or clinical studies skip the NIH site and just Google the term MILD.I suggest that you forego the medical device manufacturers sites as that would be like searching for a car recommendation on an automobile dealership website.The Cleveland Clinic has an excellent and extensive description of the MILD procedure which is written very clearly and is easily understood. They are refreshingly unbiased in their recommendation of the procedure. Just GoogleClevelandClinic.org and check out their reference library for info.Dr. Afong performed my MILD a few days ago. The entire experience was run with military precision. The medical staff members were experienced professional and treated me with respect and dignity.The entire process from arrival procedure recovery and discharge instructions was under 3 hours.Full disclosure...I will say that the first few days after the procedure I was sore and stiff. Also for a week after no bending lifting or car trips more than 1 hour. Its important to make an effort to frequently walk around. No sitting on your recliner. Get yourself up off that chair and walk.Remember in most cases a successful outcome depends on your attitude and compliance. Be the master of your own destiny.Good luck and Godspeed.

I had my first series of injections yesterday and it went wonderfully. The nurses and reception staff are aces. Dr. Afong is friendly and professional. Incredible operation.Kudos to NPI and Dr. Afong.
