I went to get a cortisone injection and found the whole experience terrific. The Doc listened, answered all my questions. He seems knowledgeable and professional and did a good job.

This man is scaaaaaaary! He came at me with a ten inch needle like a crazed maniac. He was thirsty for blood. Otherwise, the treatment was quite pleasent.

They lie about their billing practices. They state they will just take what the insurance company pays. Until you are unhappy with your care and stop going to him. Then you get a bill.

This was perhaps the most thorough doctor I have ever seen. He took over an hour to take my history, examine me and then go over my MRI in detail with me. After that he gave me several options for treatment. He answered all of my questions completely and then let me decide what would be the best fit for me. I was not rushed and not "sold" anything. He seemed to genuinely want to do what was best for me and what I was most comfortable with. Could not have been a better experience.

As far as I am concerned, Dr. S is just a salesman, would only offer a drug test, of which was unnecessary, dangle a med script in your face and hand it to you after 2/3rd visit which was only done so in order to sway you into a surgically inserted stimulator, implanted in your butt/back to aid in your pain remediationâ??don't do it!

Made his diagnosis and treatment pla. before he even saw me by listening to what the covering insurance wanted and then did as they asked. I have read this same issue on other sites describing Dr Siegfried's methodology. Don't go to him unless you want a misdiagnosis

In my opinion Dr. Siegfried is nothing more than a mouthpiece for whatever insurance company paying his bill. Rather than listen to his patient's issues and level of pain or issues connected to their pain and then mske a diagnosis based on these facts he listens only to the requirements needed to satisfy the insurance company's request.
