Patients frequently praise Dr. Rainer for his personable and compassionate approach, his ability to thoroughly explain procedures, and his effective pain management techniques. They appreciate his attentive care, professional expertise, and the supportive, efficient staff that enhance their visits. However, on the negative side, there are complaints about delays in scheduling and issues with the front desk staff, as well as dissatisfaction with communication regarding billing inquiries. These isolated negative experiences do not overshadow the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the majority of patients.

Had a surgery over 15 years ago and another was recommended. I wasn't ready for that and got in to see Dr. Rainer. He has kept me surgery free and helped me manage my pain almost completely med free.

Good bedside manner but limits conversation during procedures. I like that he is focused on treatment site and not chatty except to ask me questions relative to procedure.

Dr. Ranier has a very well organized process to complete the relief of pain. He always checks his work thoroughly to make sure he is in the correct location for shots and does an amazing job in rehabilitation of pain issues. There have been times when the pain was so severe I could barely walk without nerves shrieking through my back and legs. I have personally witnessed miraculous results after the procedures.

Dr.Rainer and his nurses are some of the nicest people that I’ve had the pleasure to meet in the dr. Office. I get shots in my back for epidural and trigger point injections. He’s. Always fast but efficient and the shots are effective. You’ll love these guys and gals also I hope. !
