I could not have made it without Dr. Mccardell's wise and kind guidance; an exceptionally warm, intelligent Anesthesiologist, I landed in his office following my June 29, 2010 spinal fusion by the late Harry Herkowitz. He withdrew me from Oxycontin, no easy job! I just love this doctor and think all Docs should be like this.

I met Dr. McCardell today for pain management. What a friendly man! I left feeling like we were friends. Dr. McCardell spent so much time with me, explaining things that I've never heard before even though I've been a pain mgmt. patient for years. I was extremely happy with this doctor!

Absolutely the best experience in a doctor's office and I am a doctor so I have seen a lot. The entire staff as well as Dr. McCardell are the best.

I was a bit nervous to deal with a pain management specialist, but as it turned out, he was/is awesome. Dr. McCardell actually spent time with me to explain all of my issues and I've never once felt rushed. I absolutely would recommend him to another person that suffers from any type of chronic pain.

This Doctor is excellent, his staff (receptionist) is not. The prescription refill's are hard to get, the staff does not follow up so scripts are hard to get refills on. You have to leave a message and no one calls you back to let you know they have received your request.
