I came to Main Line Spine almost 3 years ago, they said that I should get a spinal cord stimulator put in.and I did.with the horrific recovery for about 3 weeks then the SCS started to calm my pain down.after 2 months I've been ever since. I went back a few times to reprogram my ipod and get ecrays and they couldn't figure it out then sent me to Main Line Health.which aren't helping with my back pain at all.
All the reviews tell you how nice everyone is that works there but doesn't explain what was done for them and if it worked. Well I'm telling you.going to Main Line Spine and getting the Spinal Cord Stimulator wasn't worth the 2 months of less pain because now I have the pain I had plus the pain from the SCS.then when they couldn't figure it out and decided to wash there hands of me and sent me to Main Line Spine which I've been going there for over a year. honestly think about it. because neither one of these places helped.find somewhere else to go. My life has been horrible being in pain 247 and they didn't help a bit.

Appt runs on schedule. Staff are knowledgable, efficient, & friendly. Doctors are compassionate, attentive, non-judgmental when you verbalize your needs and give 100% effort to dx your problem. I currently am with Dr Lerman & his PA, Renee, trying to get the most pain relieve possible for back issues. They are good listeners, trouble shooters and let you participate in the process of which procedures you are comfortable getting. They explain in detail til you understand your different options.

At Main Line Spine my appointments were always handled promptly. The staff at the surgery center are top notch, friendly and caring. Dr. Rogers has a great bedside manner and willing to spend the time to make sure I knew what was going to happen and what to expect, while checking on me often during each procedure. Great Doctor! Staff is first class! I would recommend to anyone with back pain issues.

I have been being treated by Dr. Schwartz for a couple of yrs. now. He is professional, knowledgeable, & always shows concern & empathy. He goes above & beyond to explore different options to help me manage my chronic pain. He is instrumental in helping me to heal. I feel fortunate that he is my doctor! It's like talking to family or a friend. He genuinely cares about my well being!

I have been going here for many years, they are unsurpassed in quality, efficiency, and excellence in all areas. The Dr Lerman is one of the best, most compassionate Dr's who actually listens to all the details, with patience and understanding. He's always right on the bullseye of exams, and procedures to try to help alleviate my pain. The staff is friendly, and caring. and the whole place, is a wonderful professional experience.
I read the reviews about long waits, and can honestly say I have never waited long at all. Even with covid practices, it's never been a long wait time. If they do take longer with a different patient, I just am glad the staff is so caring and doesn't not rush you thru, that's part of being excellent. This practice is the best, Dr Lerman and his team are amazing, the surgery center is amazing. I cannot say enough about them.

The Dr I saw was helpful and knowledgeable but the office staff makes using the office intolerable. I was referred and scheduled by the doctors staffs directly to learn they were out of my network so a lot of finger pointing ensued. I paid out of pocket as I was in pain. The Dr ordered an MRI with concern it may not be covered. The staff assured me they would try to get it thru & call if they could.no call 2 weeks later and still in pain. After going to another Dr and going for an MRI that was now denied because Main Line alreafy had an approval!

I have been seeing Dr Rogers and his PA Sharon for several months. I have had chronic lower Back problems for several years and not getting much relief from the group I was seeing in Reading, PA. I was suggested to see Dr Rogers. Even though it is a long drive I decided to make a appointment. I have to say it was one of the best decisions I've made for a long time.
I had injections last month and had my follow up appointment yesterday. I'm very happy to say I'm pain free. This is Something that hasn't happened for a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Rogers for anyone with lower back pain. He and Sharon actually really care and take time to talk to you. They are very easy to talk to. One set of injections and I'm fine, it took about 2 weeks to start feeling better.
Where at the other group I had over five different sets of injections with not much relief at all. The staff is friendly as well. The wait in the waiting room was very short not more then 5 minutes. Thank you Dr Rogers & Sharon your the best!

If I could rate this office with zero stars I would. This office was a over an hour to see the doctor the doctor spent two hours with me in the exam room only to tell me to go to the er. The office manager stutters her words and just is repetitive. The doctor who I saw Dr Baderak is horrible and loves to hear himself talk and won't allow the patient to talk.
The office manager was very rude and unprofessional on the phone. I actually had to call her back and still she had no answer for me even after talking to the doctor. So in the mean time I'm in pain and still have no answers.

I had been a patient of Dr. Effrons for over 8 years, complied with all his requests, always gave urines. When I had a question about being examined since I was in a car accident, he felt my attitude had changed and decided to take me off meds. Anyone who sees this office be aware, I couldnt get one reason why. if you take meds appropriately, and our a responsible adult why stop them from feeling less pain, im in chronic pain.
This situation was handled so poorly and I do plan on following thru with whatever complaints I can, Not everyone is an addict, some people want to live with less pain and live a normal life. Isnt that my right? I have tried to speak to the office manager, didnt get very far. As for a note from Dr. Lerman, i have made many attempts, at this point im done argueing but I have notified my lawyer and other doctors. This is not how you treat people. Oh and because I referred people in the past, thats a red flag too. Are you people in the speciality of pain management or not?

I had Dr. Row give me 2 epidurals in the past year. I have no problems with him. It's his assistants that are terrible. The worse is Monica Rastenyte she does not bother to ever return calls. Dr Row prescribed a mersa test, which I had done. Then she never bothered to forward the results to Dr. Milvaney my primary doctor. Or did she call me back ever.
I spent the month of July calling to get an appointment or test results or a medication refill. With no success. I plan on driving down this next week and confront her in person. I also plan on complaining about her to anyone who will listen. She should be held accountable for all the stress that she's caused me this month of July. And last but not least she is a space cadet! She will ask you a question never listen to the answer and then repeat the question later in the conversation.

Due to an auto accident, I have been suffering with debilitating pain and loss of mobility. I went to numerous spine doctors and they all told me there was nothing they could do surgically to help me. I went to see Dr Jeff Rowe, and after hearing my story he told me about a procedure (spinal implant) he could perform that had a good chance of relieving some of my pain.
I was impressed with how patient he was as I had a ton of questions about this procedure. I had the trial implant done last month which was only for a week, but I noticed that my leg and lower back pain was significantly better during the trial.enough so that I decided to go ahead with the permanent implant. I can't say enough about how patient everyone has been with me at Main Line Spine.as you can imagine, when you have been in chronic pain and are at your wits end like I have been, you can be less than a model patient.and even though I probably have been a bit of a pain in the butt, calling numerous times to ask questions, everyone I have dealt with has been kind and understanding.especially Dr Rowe.before my trial surgery I was freaking out a little and he calmly said, "don't worry, we've got this".then one of his assistants held my hand when I was laying on the table. I can't wait until my permanent implant.and getting my life back!

If you like waiting, you will love mainline spine! If you have not seen the Star Wars trilogy, this is a great opportunity, a nap should be expected. Bring a book. This time, I have been here for 60 minutes (no doctor yet!) last time, 45. Maybe when I see a doctor I'll come back and let you know how it was.

I don't know how people who endure chronic pain live day-to-day i initially thought i could ignore or wait-out the pain associated with a couple of herniated disks in my neck, but after self-medicating with a handful of advil and a balloon glass of red wine nightly for over a week, i called my doctor who recommended dr efron at main line spine allow me to say that dr efron is wonderful he listened to my concerns and tailored my pain management plan accordingly after a series of 3 injections - i have been pain-free for over a year. (i would have been back to normal with the 1st injection, had i not over-exerted myself getting back into my routine) i highly recommend dr efron and main line spine
