I have never been treated so rudely in all my life. The PA I saw on my second visit was fighting with the people before me. He came in with an attitude. He right away asked me what I was doing for my knee pain. I'm not giving you Opioids today. When I told him he rolled his eyes and ask why can't I do steroid shots. I told him I had one years ago and it gave me Afib for three months. Again, he rolled his eyes. Then he said in a rude tone what are you doing about your weight you know that can cause knee pain. I said ... read more

I am suffering from pancreatic divisum , I go into pancreatitis flairs a lot, in the last 3.5 years I have had 16 procedures and have been to the ER 23 times always dealing with the GI doctors, they have me on the weakest pain patch and taking Gabapentin and neither one are helping, I have told three different people that have seen me that the pain is to much and it goes nowhere. I'm tired of laying in bed crying in pain, I'm almost 60 and guessing this will be the rest of my life.

Avoid at all costs! They continue to cut their patients back on medication in hopes that said patients will fall back on the injections. These injections are the bread and butter of their business. I’ve had a few injections and none have done any thing towards my pain. They are crooks with no concern with the physical pain their patients are in.

I had the worst experience ever at Advanced Pain Medicine seeing Dr Matthew LoDico on 6/4/19. at the initial visit on 5/8/19 I gave the PA my Dr notes and xrays from my Ortho Dr. And I called twice to make sure they did steriod injections in the neck for arthritis.... they said yes. However, Dr LoDico was giving me injections for muscle spasms. I don't have muscle spasms. He said they don't use steriods, nor do any of their procedures help with arthritis. I did not receive any shots nor would I EVER go back there.

Horrible everything! These people are are only after procedure money and they also do a swab drug screening which cost a fortune. I had an electric simulator installed into my back for Sciatica and had to have a cable coming out of my spine for 5 days, could not shower and also had to carry around a monitor to control the electricity flowing through my body. This feels like being tazed I guess by a police tazor and then they changed me to another level which sent a steady current throughout my body. This test suggested by Dr... read more
