He was the best Doctor I've ever had. He can't help that the government has stepped in and think they know more and better than our doctors who have delt with us for years and forced ridiculous changes. He is a very good doctor!!!! My only issue is with one nurse who didn't do her job one day and caused it to literally ruin my entire life!!!! But other then that I'd go back in a heartbeat, it was truly heartbreaking for me when that happened!

I have received three epidural injections from Dr Bigler and have had great relief from them. The staff and related professionals have been very kind, understanding and attentive. I have found them to be professional and thorough.

Never have I encountered such a cruel doctor and office staff. Bigler relishes torturing patients by addicting them to narcotic medications and then abruptly discontinuing treatment. I have seen Bigler for years and then suddenly medications are withheld do to "noncompliance". I have always thought that doctors are supposed to be advocates for their patients. This is totally missing with this doctor and staff. They are cruel to patients by eliminating medications taken for years. Bigler seems to derive sick pleasure from acting inappropriately towards patients. I urge all patients to request a complete copy of their entire medical records from this quack. The office has illegally refused to comply with this for some patients. Medical records are the property of the patient. Be carful to read the record thoroughly as the office will take an unreasonably slow approach that allows them to "doctor" their reports. By obtaining these one will see the fraudulent and dishonest nature of this… medical practice. Hopefully the DEA, State Board of Health, attorney general and other state and federal authorities will put a stop to this cruel dishonest SOB!!!
