From the receptionist, Heather the nurse, and Dr. Wike and his assistant, they could not do enough for me to make me comfortable and explain the procedure. This eased my anxiety since this was my first injection. Dr Wike was very kind, caring & right on target with my injection. He even let me see the image of my sciatic root which he said is open and easily viewed which is a good thing! Thank you for helping me!!

I have been seeing Dr. Wike for over 10 years, and he has consistently provided excellent care and treatment for my condition. My most recent procedure was about 18 months ago, and it has provided effective pain relief throughout that time. Dr. Wike is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients' well-being. I am very grateful for the improvement in my quality of life and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with back injuries or seeking pain management and relief.

Great people work there and they really know their patients. I’ve been injections in my tailbone for the past 3+ years and it works sometimes I get issues in between injections some good and some not so good but I always look forward to these. Best solution for me. TYVM to the entire staff.

Dr. Wike and his staff at the Park West Blvd location are amazing. I wish I were treated this well at every doctor’s office. My results are fantastic. Dr. Wike really takes the time to understand the location and severity of your pain. I can’t recommend him enough.

Wonderful staff ! They make sure you are comfortable and educated on what's going on. Dr. Wike is very gentle and talked through everything that was happening during my epidural steroid injection. I travel 2 hours from home to come to this clinic!
