He has done more to relieve my pain in two sessions of injections than a chiropractor did in two years of 2 to 5 visits a month. I am now on my way to being 100 percent pain free.

Dr De Lapa demonstrated very poor work ethic and poor professional behavior. Absolutely did not care about patient's pain, pain level, and outcome. Very poor skills level in assessment of patient with chronic pain. I do not recommend this MD. A patient will simply wast a time and pain level will get worst.

Dr DeLapa is a very compassionate man. He was able to stop my back pain by using Radio-frequency Oblation. This was a life saving experience for me. My pain was not being managed well with medication.

This guy was the worst dr. I have ever scene. First time he hurt me so bad I had to go back for extra shots. Then all of a sudden the new dr., I don't know her name yet but I will, informed that the doctor was letting me go. I have a glass of wine in the evening time, and aparentlly he said it was against the rules. What rules. The female dr. ,who had her dress showing everything she had smiled and said we can not see you again. 5yrs going to dr ozturk and this new dr takes over and wants everyone to be like him. He and his new doctor can have a laugh on me. One more thing. as soon as I am released from pain clinic my regular doctor drops me, who by the way knows the young female dr at pain clinic. Any lawyers interested. Im 55 yrs old passed all drug test and was treated like u know.

I can't imagine anyone finding this doctor to be discourteous or unhelpful in any way unless their only goal was to receive pain medication. My personal goal was to receive long-lasting pain relief without being drug-dependent, and that is what I got. If that is your goal, then this is the place for you. If you just want more drugs, then you are barking up the wrong tree.

I have gone to Dr DeLapa several time with back pain. Each time he has listened to my complaints with a desire to help me. He has given me injections that have helped stop the pain. He shows concern and compassion with each visit.
