Dr. Mitchell Roy Halter, MD

Dr. Halter is so easy to talk to and has a wonderful sense of humor. Helped me and explained everything so I could understand it. Very honest and professional. Super glad he is my doctor. Everyone in the office is really polite, friendly, and has great smiles. Thank you to all of you????????

I have had pain from the shingles in my right arm for over a year. I started going to the Desert Pain clinic on 137 E. Ft. Lowell and after a few weeks, they finally got the approval from my insurance company for a pain blocker. I had the pain blocker and all it did was make my entire arm numb but the pain was still there. The doctor never called to see how I was and no one from the pain clinic called either. I would recommend anyone needing help with pain to pass this place by and find a reputable clinic.

Dr. halter was the first doctor to effectively treat my burning mouth syndrome. I hade it for 9 months before I got the correct diagnosis and meds .

You simply cannot beat this guy. He's in the top 1%.

I would recommend Dr. Halter to anyone. He is the most compassionate and caring physician I have ever known, and I've known a lot, both professionally and personally. He took all the time I need to examine and explain his treatment and procedures. Since he has been sick, I have deteriorated drammatically, and this is not Dr. Halter's fault. It is an example of the poor care from other non-skilled physicians. I am thankful to have had over 6 years with Dr. Halter, they have been the best 6 years I have had since my illness started 19 years ago. Thank you Dr. Halter and I hope you get better.

I was referred to this Dr for my excruciating back pain. I was taking 150 10/325 mg percocets a month but when I first meet with him he told me he doesn't prescribe meds like that to people like me because I smoked cigarettes, about a pack a week. So I was cut off from taking that many to nothing and he treated me like I was less then a person. I told him I was very close to suicide from t the withdrawals not to mention the agonising pain. If you want a pain Dr who cares about you and tries to help you and what your going through do not see him.

I have had two back surgeries, each left me worse off, in addition to intractable migraine headaches. I can't count the number of doctors that I have seen who said nothing could be done for my back. Dr. Halter took the time to listen to me, he was the first doctor that actually performed a full examination, and the first doctor that took the time to answer ALL of my questions. I was referred to him for epidural injections (these never helped in the past) and I was surprised when he told me that he would be hesitent to do an epidural (because every pain doctor seems to go down this road). He thought that my pain was because of arthritic facet joints, I had some facet injections that temporarily stopped my pain and then underwent a procedure that burned the nerves that went to the joints. I'm not pain free, but for the first time in over 10 years of suffering and being told that nothing could be done I have been able to get my life back go bowling, go hiking, and can have relations with… my husband. I am so glad that I was sent to him. He tried several medications for my migraines, some produced some pretty bad side effects, but after a year of trying different medications I am now on a regime that seems to be working. I went from spending 10 or 12 days each month in bed in a dark room to one bad headache each month.

My experience with Dr Halter has been very good. Howerver his illness this past year made it so that I had to see Dr. Davis. I read in a prior review that she made the patient feel like a criminal did not explain herself and did not listen to the patient. With this I have to agree 100%. I absolutley refuse to see her as she caused me much grief and did everything to blame me for the situation. I had to go so far as to take my husband with me so that he could get me through the visit. He and the student pharmasist agreed that it was not me causing the friction. It indeed was an issue with her ability to relate to patients and care for them. I did not car efor being treated like a criminal. I do understand the value of drug testing but in a Dr.s office setting it can be handled much more approprately.

I was seeing Dr. Halter for chronic migraines--he wouldn't listen to me when I tried to tell him what was going on. His only recourse was to medicate me--no imaging of my neck or skull, no physical therapy, nothing other than medication. He gave me Topamax (& a few other meds0 & wanted me to stay on it, even though it meant I was a total zombie & falling asleep even while driving. I called his office & told his nurse that I was taking myself off & if he had any problems with it, too bad. He told her to call me back & tell me there was nothing he could do if I didn't follow his instructions. He was arrogant, uncaring & a huge waste of my time. I would never see him again, nor would I recommend anyone else to see him either.
