This office will not be the place for anyone that does not want to help themselves. Dr. Gorrell spends inordinate time with the patients that need it- the reason you wait is that he listens! If you are sitting there waiting on a fax then you are waiting for an office other than his to send something pertinent to your care and it was your choice to sit and do it all on one day as opposed to come a few days ahead for your paperwork. Pain Mgmt is a unique specialty. Every document provided by the patient has to be verified with the source. Pain management is a specialty that has a large pyschological component to it. Dr G will listen and will offer options to patients other than just pain pills. He genuinely cares about his patients. He SPENDS money to be able to offer his patients nutracuticals. He makes "mix DVD's" for his reception area with news stories and shows he feels could help his patients. He has not had large staff turnover and does not treat women unfairly. His children have worked in his clinic! He will tell you like it is and will not play games. He is very compliant with state regulations. If your prescribed medications are not in your system on a random UDS why is that HIS fault? Take responsibility for your own behavior. As far as the mugshot online, it is from more than 10 years ago for a traffic violation - SPEEDING TO GET TO THE OR when he was doing anesthesia! He was not arrested - NEWSFLASH not everything on the internet is the truth. That website actually wants $ to have the pic taken down. THAT is shady. The "shady sh*t with another doctor" comment is absolutely nutty and ignorant! Shockingly, some patients try to get meds from him AND also go elsewhere without disclosing and you will get caught and he will turn you in. Unfortunately, he does have to discharge patients from time to time and hopefully those patients will realize later that Dr Gorrell is one of the few pain physicians that gives a darn about you and told you the truth whether you wanted to hear it now or not. PS -- Suboxone is used in pain management therapies -- google it! Dr Gorrell is not going to be a detox center, he believes in treating patients with legitimate pain and will continue to do just that!

He was great at the beginning. Now he is telling his patients that the pain are in their heas and are trying to push the suboxone. I am a legitimate pain patient. He cut my regiment big time. Called me names and I believe he is either tring to make more money through the suboxone program or is under invstigation. I am soo looking for a new doctor. I MUCH rather go thru withdrawals to see him again. Seriously

by Unhappy Patient on Apr 5th, 2013

Let's see.... Where to begin... For starters, he schedules patients for 10am, but doesn't arrive til noon. Has started tapering patients off their meds onto regiments that do not work. Has started telling patients that the pain is all in their heads. I myself was begging for him to believe me. Definitely belittles his patients, especially women I hear. He now has started telling patients that suboxone works for pain. (obviously getting a kick-back from the sub company). I think he'll be a detox center soon. He has a high office staff turn over for obvious reasons. He likes to let you know how smart he is and will keep you there preaching forever. It's too bad he was great in the beginning... He's lost so many patient, and now has lost me. Oh, and I think the nice reviews on here are bogus reviews. For his current patients, he's not so perfect... You can find a nice mugshot of him online, and he did shady opiate sh*t with another doc. If he wants to stay in business, he better cut the "it's all in your head" bullsh*t!!

Saying that Dr. G has good bedside manners is putting it lightly. He genuinally cares about the wellness and health of all his patients. This doctor goes beyond his call of duty to serve his patients. He spends more than sufficent time with each and every patient he sees. If for any reason a patient does not feel comfortable in the examination room with him, there is always an nurse ready and avalible to come in with u and the doctor. He also has a wide variety of supplements to help with different areas of your health needs. I highly recommend that a person come and give him a try.

IF YOU WANT TO PAY A DR. TO BELITTLE YOU AND INSULTS YOU OR TO PUT UP WITH HIM TRYING TO EXTORT YOU WITH HIS PRODUCT THAT HE LIVES BY. (LOL) THIS IS THE DOC FOR YOU. HE IS A VERY SORRY EXCUSE FOR A DR AND NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE SHOW ME STATE.

I finally found a doctor to listen to me. When I went to my old doctor I always saw someone else. They gave me the same prescription every month and didnt care about me as a person. Dr. Gurrell listedned to me and gave me recommendations about other ways I can help my pain. I finally feel ike someone cares.

I was lied to from the beginning! Was in a severe hardship due to my pain management doctor shutting down unexpectedly. Dr. Gorrell's staff was aware of current treatment plan & assured me I would continue on that plan at least for the first visit. Waited 3 hrs. to get seen; the Dr. berated, insulted, made assumptions & badgered me over me being "underweight"..all of it had nothing to do w/what I came in for(chronic pain). He cut my regimen severely, I had to beg to at least get some of normal regimen after they knew & assured me I would continue my treatment plan to get me into 1st visit! They stole my $350 patient fee & sent me out the door after being treated like a dog! Astonished he is allowed to practice medicine at all! The Dr. & his staff are liars, thieves, con artists, rude, inconsiderate, uncaring, & fraudulent ..promise people things & don't deliver..just to get the enormous new patient fee. If you disagree w/him or try to explain, he threatens to discharge you immediately AFTER TAKING YOUR $! Cannot say enough bad things all the way around! New patients beware..I will be looking into a lawsuit, they need to be shut down immediately! I will NEVER GO BACK..NEVER BEEN TREATED SO BADLY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Severe back injuries, bi-lateral hip replacements, knee bone on bone & all he cared about was my supposed being underweight! Thanks to him, I am out $350 & still have no doctor to help me!

Jun 20th, 2011

I don't know of another doctor I have ever met who is more useless. 2 1/2 hours trying to get my records faxed. Then he does a urine test and says I'm not taking my medication..I am selling them. Someone owes me some serious money so I can get a new truck then if I am selling my meds. Not only that this "doctor" was verbally abusive. I have S.T.M.L.(Short Term Memory Loss) and he called me stupid and I am demented from old age. Then most people I have met are demented. I pray to find a real Doctor. Get a new profession!

HE INJECTED MY FOREHEAD AND MADE MY EYES DROOP. I HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER PHYSCIAN TO GET REPAIRED. DR. GORRELL REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHEN I WENT BACK AND SHOWED HIM MY HOODED EYE LIDS.

by Former PATIENT on Mar 4th, 2011

Dr. Gorrell has a snippy impatient attitude.I've never been around a doctor that cursed so much to the point it made me feel uncomfortable.Constantly overtalks myself and others,he's just not a pleasent person to be around.When i asked for directions to his office he gets on the phone instead of a office worker and tells me i'm wasting his time when i'm the paying patient.Would never go back to his office again.Gives out good pain killers though.Still not enough to make me ever want to be in his presence ever again.Very rude man.

I have been experiencing pain in my knees for quite some time, but when walking up the steps became a painful ordeal, I made an appointment with Dr. Gorrell. He genuinely cared about me, and what I was going through. He also prescribed a solution to alleviate the pain I was having. This is a doctor who does not have a revolving door on his practice where we get them in and out as quickly as possible, but the opposite. Dr. Gorrell spends time with the patient, listens, and is a very personable man as well. I highly recommend Dr. Gorrell for anyone who is having pain issues.

I am a professional who happen to need a specialist. From the time that I made the appointment all the way through the process, Dr Gorrell was extremely professional and courteous. He thoroughly explained all non-pharmacological strategies and those that also included medications. That is exactly what I was looking for in a doctor, someone who would take the time out for me. His medical staff was wonderful and provided me with everything I needed. I have never been to or will probably ever find again, a medical team like Dr. Gorrell and his staff. I am a proud patient. Thank you!

by Francesca on Dec 15th, 2009

Pain Mgmt. Dr. Kelvin Gorrell is a very professional, caring , understanding, compassionate to all his patients whether the patient is male or female. He will get to the root of your medical condition and provide healing process recommendations for therapy, vitamins too, He does care & understands the pain and will relieve you. I almost died from another doctor skipping town who did not take care about his patients and we all had no meds for weeks from irresponsibility & negligence until Dr. Gorell saved my life. He examines you out thoroughly and doesnt just fax or give scripts, and send you on your way. He will get you out of pain with meds,,exercises and vitamins to put you back to life from head to toe. So, if you are searching for the perfect doctor to go to Dr. Gorrell is the BEST!Francesca

This is a very caring and considerate physician who really cares about the health and wellness of his patients. Some patients may not like to hear the truth because they are childish! But I want a physician who wants to help me loose weight & stop smoking!
