Dr. Fred Robert De Francesch, MD

My family and I have been Doctor Fred's patients for several years he and the whole staff in the Hammond office are great to all their patients young and old. It took me several other pain management doctors till we found him. He is digilent when it comes to his patients, and works very hard to find the right steps to help. It's not all about what drugs to get it's about finding the right plan which might include shots and other ways to improve your life and have the ability to work and live with the pain that is otherwise unbearable.

He was very professional and took the time to explain what was causing my pain and how he was going to help. I'm lucky to have found a great pain management physician.

Dr. Fred was able to correctly diagnose my condition, and I got the treatment I needed within a week. I am pleased with my experience. The lady PA I saw was helpful as well, and drew me a picture of my back condition.

I did not wait long to be seen. Was seen first by a PA and then a physician- both were very knowledgeable and explained my diagnosis and treatment options at length without seeming rushed. I received neck injections which were very helpful.

Dr Fred is very patient, and seems to want to work with you on what is the best way to treat your pain. He is open to just about every suggestion from a patient and he makes you feel that you're not the only one fighting the pain or the cause of it. He knows that this is a team effort, and everyone from him, the patient, and all of his staff work together to get the best outcome.

calls back quickly from personal cell phone. Staff is not so freindly. Does everything possible to make sure you are not in pain
