Anthony F Afong

I have been seeing Dr. Afong for 3 Years he has helped me after a back surgery went wrong. He cares about my pain and does everything he can to keep my pain at a tolerable level. Thanks to him I can now stand up straight. The staff is also friendly and helpful. I have never heard a bad comment said by anyone there and all patients records are on computer don’t know how the man below could have seen anyone’s records. I highly recommend him.

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 have been a patient for over 7 years... during that time the entire staff was always helpful and would help me with any problems or requests. If your experiencing chronic pain... they can help.

Excellent

Dr. Afong is an A+ physician. I simply can not say enough good things about this doctor and his staff. First off there is never a long wait to see him or the doctors assistants. Everyone is always very professional and friendly. They are always concerned about your feelings and your well being especially Dr. Afong and the doctor assistants which both spend sufficient time with their patients giving you time to ask all your questions and they really do listen and care. They also answer all questions making sure that the patient understands his or her answers which most doctors dont take the time to do. Dr. Afong is helping me and my pain level does still go up and down because of my injuries but when I started my pain level was a 910 and hasnt been that high again for a long time because of his excellent treatments. Thank you Dr. Afong and his great doctor assistants

GREAT CARE AND OFFERED OPTIONS THAT TRULY HELPED

Excellent bedside manner very professional physician.

I have been going to Dr. Afong and staff for pain management for 5+ years. I always get excellent treatment. Dr. Afong is the only doctor I would allow to do the epidural injections in my neck and back. I have also had joint injections for sciatichip problems along with I.V. Infusions for chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. He and the Nurses NP’s adjust medications accordingly. I wouldn’t go anyplace else.

Went to see the Dr. for significant back pain and he two sets of injections and that did the trick golfing again 3 days a week

Excellent the procedure and care of the entire staff
