Dr. Joseph David Paz, DO

Dr Paz cares about his patients and takes the time to listen and help. I would be lost without him. He has been there for me for many years..

I have been seen by Dr. Paz for over 20 years. From the moment that I first experienced pain until the day that I slipped and fell on my back, Dr. Paz has been there for me. Then, after my surgery, Dr. Paz has done what has been in my best interest. He is NOT a pill-pusher, if that is what you are looking for in a pain specialist. He will treat you in an acceptable, professional manner. I strongly recommend Dr. Paz to anyone who has "legitimate" pain issues.

Had my first meeting with Dr Paz and was treated with care and compassion... His excellence in his specialty is above and beyond any other I've ever been treated by!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Paz well over 15 years. I've never had a problem with him. He always answers my questions. He helps the best he can to make me comfortable with my everyday pain. Him and his staff always explain to me what I'm being seen for and what to expect at shot appts.

I’ve seen Dr. Paz for more than 10 years. He is a compassionate doctor articulate and skilled at his field. I’ve always had a positive outcome from his procedures. Great office staff that compliments his practice.

I've been seeing Dr Paz now for over 10 years, at both offices. He has always been kind an compassionate and knew the best treatment plan for my problem. Recently my parents have seen Dr Paz and he helped them both with knee pain.

Dr. Paz has been great. His trigger points were perfect. He knew just where to inject.

I have been seeing Dr Paz for well over 7 years now. I have severe nerve damage along with other medical issues that leave me in constant, daily pain. He first started out with Fentenyl patch, which caused me to be more irritable than normal. I was also having issues with the patch sticking to my skin, even with the skin to hold it in place. When I first started I lost 3 patches to damage and I was told tough luck. After begging a few times he finally moved me to 10mg of Oxy. It was working great!! I had little problems and the pain was finally at bay. (I know someone who it STILL getting liquid Oxy at home because his Dr fights for him every time it is questioned. I follow his directions to a Tee, I have a urinalysis 4x a year at random times. I always so to pic up my script in person, as he requires because he won't invest in the system that will auto-sent it, when I go to his office I always go ready for the urine test. The one day, 4 years ago, he suddenly moved me down… to morphine. Instead of fighting for me for something that was working he just lowered my script to morphine at 30mg, the lowest dosage. I'm been on that same dosage for 4 years. Every time I suggest thinking about moving to the nest step all he says was we'll see at your next appt. Then a few months ago, he states that he wants me to move to CBD oil. While I've heard good things about it, I'm not too keen on the idea. 1, It's very expensive in PA. The Dr himself wants a $250 referral fee - CASH ONLY. 2. It's $50 for the medical ID card, which Medicare MIGHT pay for. 3. The dose he wants me on is $125 a month CASH ONLY. I'm on a fixed income, I can't afford to make the switch and because I won't he continues his 5 min appt where he states he will not increase my morphine to 45mg. He out right lied to me and said I was on the maximum dosage. My PCP tried getting involved and tried to discuss with him and convince him to increase me to the next level. No go!. Mu only alternative is to wait and see if he will drop me because if I leave him he has said no one else will pick me up. He doesn't care about his patients, all he cares is about how much he'll get paid. He's said to me a number of times in the last 6 months how much he's hoping the CBD cash business will allow him to retire within a year or so. I want to report him but I cannot find information on reporting a Pain Doctor other than a suggestion to try mediation. If you are thinking of going to him for help, don't. You're not going to get the help you need.

In pain for 3 years, and he gave me hope!

Dr. PAZ runs his office like a factory and the patient are just items on a conveyor belts. He could care less about his patients as long as he's getting payed. I met an elderly couple in his office, and she had no idea where she was getting her shot or for what knee?? No one explained the procedure to her at all and to make matters worse she wasn't even there for shots to elevate knee pain. It was her shoulder! She had to tell Dr. Paz what procedure she was getting done. The thing happened to me and others I spoke with after that appointment. Needless to say that was the last time I ever wentry back to his office.
