This location is so much more professional and thorough compared to the Cleveland location. Thank you for putting my son at ease and just a better experience all around.

I was ready to go to another dr. It's scary when one has some serious chronic pain. We don't know who to talk to or what to do. I think that the kindness that my wife and I were shown today really gave me the confidence that there are some great people here. I hope that we can manage this pain, as a team! Update 3-7-2022 I have had to dismiss this provider for the second time.

I have had too many issues. I have a severe chronic pain problem. Diagnosed by three of the areas best surgeons. I have to state that Dr. Blake was not a person that is willing to treat my pain. I think that the staff are wonderful. I just couldn't find a treatment that both my wife and I could agree made me a functional chronic pain suffer. I have had meaningless contact and done all in my power to follow any rules. Once the dr has an opinion, my experience is that is where is stays. Not once was I reevaluated based on my personal needs.

After 12 years, stopped my pills, gave me a patch of subaxon, cost to much for me to buy. And 1000s of bad reviews. Now I have to leave this state. No rotor cuff, no biceps, Parkinson, cervical dystonia, broke bones in my foot. They will report you no pain help at the er, the VA, ect. No doctors for years and years. Just a pa. Yes was 2 pills off.

Bad pain after falling down and shaking for 2 days. This is wrote today. Nothing to detox, just sit here for a few days. I have to get stuff off the street and hope it kills me.

Amazing people. The doctors listen and tailor a pain relief plan according to your specific pain issues. They treat you right and listen. Very thoughtful and detailed in a pain relief and treatment plan. Love this place and highly recommend coming here

What happened to The United States of America? In the early 1900's we could go to the local drug store and buy anything that we needed for pain or anything else.and our population was exploding! Up until the 2000's we could get what we need in the form of a prescription from our family doctor. Fast forward to today and now we need to go to the Communist "Pain Management Centers"/Nanny State Centers where the doctors talk down to their patients.

My mother is an 84 year old with arthritis, both hips replaced, both knees replaced and is almost blind and the doctors there actually reduced the strength of her medication and couldn't take the pain! They finally put her back on the original strength but she was short a lot of pills! She always had the right amount before they put her on a lower MG of pills! The Doctors talked down to her and treated her like garbage!

The only reason that I gave this place 2 stars is because my PA Teresa is great but her hands are tied by the doctors. Also, Jason is an awesome physical therapist but you can see him even if you don't see the doctors here. I seen both Dr Blake and Dr Herman. Neither one of them would listen to me. I was having some rare side effects from the medication that they had me on.

I researched the symptoms that I was having and they said no, they knew better than the mayo clinic. Their decision was to just stop my medications. Well, I'm now with an excellent pain management doctor. He changed my medication back to what actually works for me. And guess what? My blood pressure is back to normal and the other symptoms are gone too.

I wouldn't send anyone to either Dr Herman or Dr Blake. They act like they care but think they are gods and know you better than you know yourself. Now I actually have a job! (I haven't been able to have one for years)

Specialists in Pain Management could not be a more fitting name for the entire group I've encountered here. They are truly specialists in their knowledge of my condition, which is a complex one. Dr. Hermann's continued up-to-date education on best practices has enabled him to have success where my previous pain management team had failed. He not only cares about the procedure, he cares about the person.

I know it is only because of this team that I have part of my life back and a bright future ahead. Much appreciation to Dr. Hermann, Jason and all of the support staff! You're the BEST! Tessa R Clift

Ouch! Everything hurts. Every. Single. Thing. Whatever shall I do? If only someone specialized in something like this; Ok, here's the sitch. I was working on casting an armadillo theatre production based on the book "Of Mice and Men." It makes sense if you read the book. If you haven't read it, basically, a doctor is accused of malpractice. That would never happen here because they cured all of my ailments. Thanks again doc!

I have found the Doctors at Specialties at Pain Management to be Both Caring and attentive to my condition. They have tried to leave my Chronic Pain in ways that Didn't involve Opioids which I don't want to be on unless it cannot be relieved in any other way. I feel they are very Professional and caring towards their patients! I am more than satisfied that I am their patient!

I thank God that I found this group! I have lived in pain since 1997. This group has given me a quality of life that I thought was lost forever. I had severe pain in almost every part of my body and through the care and investigation into the under laying causes I have returned to a quality of life most others overlook. I have had injections at this office that were painless, my fears consoled and listened to.

I have had imaging done that they recommended and found the issues that led me to this wonderful group. I have had corrective surgeries on recommendation of these wonderful caregivers and have had excellent results. All of the office staff are the greatest! I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful group of people that have allowed to to live a good life again. If you have life exhausting pain, do not delay, come here and let these wonderful people help you to return to a quality of life that you may have thought lost forever!

This is a very busy location that services people regardless of economic or insurance status. The front desk is always courteous even though they are confronted with drug seekers on a daily basis. The doctors are very competent and seem engaged to appropriately treat the patient's pain. I surmise that a great many of the poor reviews on here are provided by drug seekers who could not obtain an obsurd amount or over prescribed class of narcotic treatment. I am very happy with my treatment with my only complaint being the wait times associated with being such a busy office.
