Debra hughes sent me to get procedures/injections done that i knew would make my neck/shoulder worse cause ive them done on my knees and back. She told me it was only to see if they were in the correct spots for the surgery needed. Dr. Ligenfelter said that he recommended surgery but wouldn't risk it cause of age- i'm 28- and cause the procedures/injections done didn't work. He gave me a paper with pain management on it with no locations and who haven't responded back to me. On top of that I've been in bed unable to move neck and shoulder with pain so bad that ice can't even numb it. Forcing myself up for the necessities is so painful i feel like the first wrong move I'd be forced to the ER.

The wait is too long to be seen by doctor " and although it is a brief time with the doctor when he. sees me" he carefully addresses my concerns and prescribes the necessary testing "!!!!! Thank you",.

I had surgery last year. The surgery was very successful. If eliminated the pain had for almost 3 years and now I can stand up straight. I am seeing the doctor now bc I was rear ended at a red light by a man driving a Dodge Ram truck 5 mos ago.

Very personable. Listened to my concerns and didn’t push surgery.

Each plan is developed on an individual basis and may include medical management, physical therapy, physiatry, or spinal injections.
