Very good interaction for a lumbar epidural. He was kind and made sure to tell me what was going on. One thing I really appreciated was how he went over my actual MRI afterwards to figure out why I was in pain. He showed me the details which helped since I have had disc surgery before. I also liked that I didn't have to wait long for the appointment.

I suffer with anxiety issues and was very nervous about my impending procedure at Pacific Pain Physicians. Although still a bundle of nerves during my visit, I knew that I was in great hands with Dr. Hullander and his staff as they were welcoming, comforting and made sure that I fully understood what was happening during the entire process. Dr. Hullander also spoke directly with afterwards to see if I had any questions and to make sure that I understood the follow-up process.

I was nervous going in for my appointment this morning. Dr. Hullander made me feel comfortable and throughly explained the procedure before hand. After he checked to make sure I was doing okay. Asked if I had any questions and explained options to me on how to proceed and help reduce future pain.

I didn't have to wait and was taken to a room almost immediately. I didn't even have to take off my clothes but simply raise my shirt so that he could perform an ablation on my back. It took about 20 minutes and I was able to return home without pain in my back that I have had for 6 years. I highly recommend Dr. Hullander.
