If you need some thing for pain don't go here they treat you like a dope head even if you pass all of the drug tests

The people at this facility are a joke. The first time I went after my MRI the nurse comes in with iv and fluids because they are going to do a block. I had yet to speak to a dr. The block did not help. When I tried to explain that I needed something else because it was not helping he insinuated I was a drug seeker. I too am in the health care field and have been for quite a while. Their sheer demeanor I'd horrible and please don't think of calling back.

I SAY DR THOMASON ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I DID TO MY BACK BUT I GOT UP ONE MORNING AND COULD NOT EVEN STRAIGTEN UP AND WALK. I HAD A ONE YEAR THAT I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF AND A FULL TIME JOB AS A NURSE. I DID NOT KNOW WAHT TO DO. HE WAS RECOMMENED TO ME BY SOMEONE I KNOW AND THEY GOT ME IN THAT SAME MORNING AND I GOT A NERVE BLOCK DONE. HE WAS VERY NICE TO ME AND WAS VERY PROMPT TO HELP ME WITH THE PAIN I WAS HAVING. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO OTHERS.

If you have chronic pain, look elsewhere, this doctor will not help. I've had back surgery and am now suffering from fractured vertbre, He gave me a series of spinal injections, not blocks, just anti-inflammatory and steroids at $800.00 each, which helped only a little. He would not prescribe anything for the pain, just told me to get something from my family doctor, I thought that was why I was seeing him. Pain doctor that refers you to your own family doctor?

I saw Dr. Thomason for pain in my neck and shoulder. When I first saw Dr. Thomason I first saw many other nurses and then his nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner did spend a good bit of time with me. After the nurse practitioner saw me and left, she returned and said that Dr. Thomason had reviewed my chart and had ordered trigger point injections. I had not seen Dr. Thomason at all at this point. I had to insist on seeing him personally. He did spend a couple of minutes with me but it was mostly small talk and very little if anything about my shoulder. I mentioned to him that I was prone to inflammations. I told him that I had various inflammations for years and was very prone to inflammations. I told him that I have had inflammations in various parts of my body. He told me that some people are just prone to inflammations and there was nothing more to do about it.When I spoke to my primary care doctor about it, he recommended that I see a rheumatologist. I have not… seen one yet but I do have an appointment with one. Dr. Thomason should have at least asked me a few questions about family back ground and asked for more details about the inflammation.Further, when I went back for the trigger point injections, I literally barely saw him. My back was to him when he walked in (I got the injection in my back), he gave me the injection and then he left. I think I was in the same room as him for less than 1 minute.
