Behzad Aalaei, MD

I was treated respectfully, and with dignity at all time I was his patient. He treated my pain, at a time that no other doctor could. Thank you

I was seeing many pain physicians. None of them diagnosed me correctly. Dr. A recognized my condition, and treated me accordingly.

He was the best doctor I have ever been to, so wonderful and caring. I would recommend him to anyone.

he is the best. I owe him my life.

Very unturthful, very judgemenatalI saw this doctor a few times, My take on him was, he has no concern of his patients just his wallet. So sad that people like this are allowed to care for other people.

He is the most caring Doctor anybody could ever have.

Dr. A is expensive. He is worth it. I was once close to suicide for intractable pain condition. he reduced my pain so that I enjoy my work and family. I am so glad that I did not take my own life. He is the light in the tunel. I recommend him dearly to all my family and friends.

He is a caring doctor at first, unfortunately, as time has gone on the professionalism or,lack thereof, of his office staff has made it impossible for me to give my insurance money to him any longer. He needs to completely overhaul his staff including his wife/bookkeeper and practice up to date medicine with a CLEAN office and exam rooms. For a bookkeeper to charge 1,000 dollars for a dip stick drug screen to my insurance co. they should be able to afford a real exam table without the 2x4's or to clean the carpets or to at least take a course in trigger point injections. Then maybe this "cash cow" would consider coming back. Too bad Dr, I really liked you but I can't get the scene of your two"nurses" shaking their heads at me telling me YOU won't see me without the ransome money!!! Sorry

Diana D. When I had decided that I wanted to write how I met Dr. Aalaei, there were so many thoughts going through my mind. I will always be grateful that he truly helped me change my life. I used to feel so guilty, alone, helpless, and depressed that my pain had taken full control of my life. I had seen other pain doctors over the years who made feel like I should know why Im in so much pain or I was made to feel like it was all in my head. They would tell me to call if I had any problems, but if I did I was scolded like a child. One Saturday morning, I woke up and was in unbearable pain. I called my pain doctor and he proceeded to tell me to go to the hospital. He made me feel like I was a bother. Then I remembered a friend telling me about Dr. Aalaei. I decided to try and get an appointment for Monday. I called and left a message on Dr. Aalaeis answering machine. About an hour later Dr. Aalaei himself called me. He was so kind and helped me calm down. He told me he would see me first thing on Monday and he said I promise to take care of you. I thought to myself can he be for real! On Sunday, my phone rang and again it was Dr. Aalaei. He said he wanted to check on me and to let me know there was hope and my pain didnt have to control my life On Monday, I went to his office as soon as they opened. When I walked through the door I felt such a sense of relief. Holly, Dr. Aalaeis nurse greeted me. She was so sweet and I didnt get a feeling that it was her job personality. I honestly could see she enjoys what she does. Holly has a very calming affect on people that comes naturally. There are times I know my blood pressure is a little high, but just being around Holly and talking and laughing brings my blood pressure down. At that very first appointment I was anxious to find out if the doctor I had spoken to on the phone was the same in person. My daughter went with me and both of us really liked Dr. Aalaei immediately. I wish there were doctors like him around. He is so compassionate, kind, caring, good listener, and most of all genuine. I never feel rushed. He takes the time to answer any of your questions. I will never regret having Dr. Aalaei to look after me. I no longer suffer from pain and hibernate in my house. He has helped me through so much and made me realize I am worth something. Pain had full control of my life, but now I feel in control. If you suffer from pain, you need to make an appointment to see Dr. Aalaei. April and Holly both work for him. April is very sweet and shes always smiling. Holly, I find to be amazing. She has so much energy, which makes her capable of doing the job of 5 people. She never complains, always smiles and jokes around. She makes you feel that you count. She is truly a professional who loves what she does. You may not walk into an office with fancy dcor but I guarantee you that youll leave with a feeling of hope and that someone really does care about you. Sincerely,Diana D.Cedar Lake, IN

Dr. A is the most carinf physician I have ever met.

How did such a good doctor get stuck with such a poor nurse? She is verbally abusive and insulting, does not respect confidentiality or privacy, and has shown little care for the safety of the patient. We stopped seeing Dr Aalaei solely because of this nurse. What a shame.

I am very pleased with his treatment.

Thought the world of him until yesterday.Stated no longer TREATING patients who have medicare as primary. Leaving long time patients hanging out looking for someone to treat and fill pump

He saved my life. I was suffering from chronic pain and was on the edge. I was planning to commit suicide. I could not live with pain any more. My brother took me to this greate Doctor. He recognized my pain and depression and acted immediately uppon. He treated my pain that reduced my depression. Now I am happy that I am alive. I organized a support group with help of Dr. Aalaei. We help eachother. I am ready to share my life story with everyone who is interessted.

I am happy that he exists. Without him I would not be here.

passionate, caring, courteous, experienced, knowledgable

The most caring physician I hae eer seen.
