Get Her 2 the GREEK

May 19, 2022

Was a pt for 6 years., compliant & stable on treatment plan when W/O warning I was dropped for self advocating and asking questions about policies that were put in place overnight & extreme opposites from what I had come to know as "common practice" with this clinic. There was no medical reason given, no concern for my health or well being. Purely political and if you want a dr whose primary goal is to take care of their patients, then stay FAR away from this place. After the changes to policy, even PA's who had worked there for years disagreed and ultimately left.

Not only do I have chronic pain, but I am also a nurse. I see both sides of patient care. This center treats their patients honestly and with respect. Every month they re-evaluate and re-exam. I trust them and feel cared for and heard. This is so important with chronic pain because often it is so important to quality of life. I can honestly say that I have great improvement to the control of my pain and I am greatful to the people in this clinic.

Dr. Vogelgesang and the clinic staff exceeded expectations. Prior to my first appointment, Dr. Vogelgesang had actually read my intake materials and medical records -- a first in my experience! I had a great appointment, and together we created a treatment plan that addressed all my concerns. Thank you, Alliance Pain Center.

The staff are generally friendly, helpful and courteous. "Doc V" (as he's often called because his last name can be a mouthful to say) is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Some folks might complain because they have to wait longer than their scheduled appt time. But what they fail to realize is that, even with other medical providers there, some patients have issues which can't be resolved In a mere 10-20 minutes. Doc V takes the time that's needed to try and help these patients. Other patients have either extremely difficult medical issues or else may have MULTIPLE medical issues or some combination of both. These patients, too, may require more time for the Dr to properly and appropriately treat and tend to. Doc V tries to treat NOT JUST the PHYSICAL symptoms of his patients, but their often EMOTIONAL/MENTAL ones, as well. As many can tell you, emotional/mental issues left untreated can often be as bad, or become even worse, than any physical issues and can also have an impact ON the physical ones. Whenever I've had to wait beyond my appt time, regardless of how long it is, I've done so without complaint. Because I KNOW that if "I" need that extra from the Dr myself, that he'll see to it that I get it. Same as he does for ALL of his patients. While I may not always agree with him, I absolutely trust him with both my life and my care and do so unquestionably. He's a very intelligent and caring Dr and so are the rest of his staff. I would highly recommend this Dr. and his staff/clinic to anyone in need of pain management.

Yes they do take Medicaid and most insurances.

I am moving up there soon and I need my pain meds without a break. I take 60 MG morphine extended release. I also take percolating 10/325. Those I can live without. Will they give me a hard time?

They are taking new patients and you wont get a hard time with them but they are very strict about the 90 mg equivalent. So yes you will probably get meds but be prepared to be wean down slowly from what you are on till your at the 90mg equivalent.

Yes, they do take Medicare. I've been under their care for about 3 years and have never found better doctors anywhere and I've seen many, many pain doctors over the years. I have severe spinal arthritis, together with many other back problems. When I had spinal surgery in 2007, the surgeon told me that anything that could go bad with a back, went bad with me!
