Avita Pain Management's Online Review Report Card

This place has been great! I would like to first start out by saying if you think you are going to walk into here or any legit pain management place and not have to take a drug test you are sadly mistaken. This is not only for their knowledge of what you are taking but they are required by law to follow procedures.Next, being someone that has been fighting back pain for over 18 years, I have been through it all! The injection, the antidepressants, all types of pain meds (not from here), and the back surgeries, with nothing working. As people get upset with the antidepressants just know when you find the right ones they really work, Wellbutrin has been my saving grace, we found that anxiety intensified my pain, so no amount of pain meds would have ever worked! As for the injections, I have been there, I was tired of getting injections and they never worked! Well that’s because all of my previous pain Drs were injecting in my epidural, it was actually my SI Joints!! You have to get the right spot for things to work, this office is GREAT!! Once they have the right spot and can show insurance ( we all know how they operate) they work they can sever ( burn) the nerve for longer pain relief. I had it frozen years ago and was pain free for two years (insurance no longer wants to cover), so the injections truly have a reason, I know it’s hard to see when you are In pain. They were also able to do something that loosened muscles that have been tight for years thanks to NP Clinker. One of the three back surgeries I have had done were actually needed the two fusions were not needed there, the SI Joints need fused. I would recommend this practice to anyone, the dr (think he maybe new) I just had do my last procedure, has the most calming voice and just talks with you while things are being done. They truly listen to what you need but you can’t come in there with a I know what I want and need attitude. You also have to understand pain has a lot of components.

I've been in severe pain for the past 4 months due to degenerative disc disease and they want to drug test their people and give antidepressants instead of actually prescribing something for severe pain. They don't want to touch my back but they wanna inject an epidural in my leg instead of actually fixing my back!!!!!

My husband was recommended here, they did NOTHING! he's a diabetic and they know this, he NEVER seen the doctor just the nurse practitioner, they sent him through physical therapy which built muscle but didn't take the PAIN away! He's a DIABETIC and they wanted to give him SHOTS in his back, which he already had an infection before that might have been from the shots he had in the past. This is supposed to be for pain and they did NOTHING!- Still in pain after finishing physical therapy and never saw the DOCTOR!
