Luvell Glanton Jr's Online Review Report Card

No communication from this office. Haven’t seen Dr. Glanton. After 2 visits and 4 months later. Still in pain. Going to Quincy I’m done.

I came to pain management because my back was so bad that I am in pain all the time. I can't stand up straight anymore and can only walk bent over and leaning on my rollator. I went from working long hours to not being able to work at all. I'm single and have always taken care of my house and yard but now I can't. I think most people would be depressed about this and when asked I was honest and said I sometimes had suicidal thoughts. We did the injections (I lost track of how many) with no luck. I only saw Dr Glanton maybe 2 times in the office. All the other times I had to see Brandi Jeffries who is a FNP, whatever that is.When I went back this last time she said since the injections weren't helpful the next thing would be to try the neurostimulation therapy (wires in the back) but she said they wouldn't do it unless I had a psych evaluation. I think that's blackmail. Now I don't have any hope left of getting some relief. So if I do something drastic they can take the credit for it. So if you're thinking about going to them, be ready to lie if they ask you about your state of mind.

Never met with the doctor before the injection. He went too far in with the injection and hit the nerve, this was EXTREMELY painful. Never talked with him after the injection.

Exllecent doctor would recommend him highly.

I have been going to Dr Glanton for 5 yrs If not for him I don't think I could cope with my pain. He takes the time to answer my questions .

Dr Glanton is an excellent physician! I'm VERY HAPPY w/ the treatment I've received since 2014😊

I have severe back pain that I've been suffering with for about 6 years. It prevents me from living my life to the fullest. It hurts to sleep, to walk, to stand, to sit and basically to move. I was seeing a Pain Management doctor in Las Vegas too, but stopped when I moved back to IL in 2019. I also didn't need the treatments anymore either because I was out of work the whole of 2020. But now, I'm working again in the ER doing Registration and the excruciating pain is back. I had my first epidural steroid injection with Dr. Glanton today and my spine is not hurting now. I feel relief for the first time in 7 months. Dr. Glanton is my savior and Brandy, his NP is an angel too!!!

Dr Glanton always takes time to listen. He understands that pain is treatable, you DONT have to live with pain pills! He’s always kind -as well as his staff. Only downfall- he’s so good his schedule is busy. But he’s worth the wait!

I get the impression he is mostly interested in increasing personal profits by prioritizing profitable procedures, regardless of what is in the best interest of the patient. I was dismissed from his practice after it became apparent my insurance was not going to cover the spinal cord stimulator he recommended. I had already failed a prior similar device, so I don’t blame the insurance company. I’m surprised Dr. Glanton even recommended it. I don’t trust him.
