Dr. Ruben Kalra and his staff at Pain Medicine Consultants have been life savers. In addition to providing treatment that is not available through my HMO, their standard of care is excellent. If you have chronic pain, I highly recommend Dr. Ruben Kalra and the staff at PMC.

Very personable and happy to know that alternatives to surgery exist. Took the time to explain my back problem with a spine model and exactly how he planned to help me. Looking forward to getting better

Great Staff. Took the extra effort of getting me in earlier when a cancellation came by. Appreciate the thoughtful care and helping me avoid surgery.

My grandmother has a long history of back pain and she can't walk long distances. She went to several spine doctors before we came to Dr. Kalra because of his strong credentials. He was very nice, took the time to explain things, especially for my grandma, who is hard of hearing and took a more holistic approach. He also is one of the only doctors that I know of doing a new procedure, called the mild in helping back pain. After doing our research, she underwent the procedure and she is doing great, able to walk much further than before and complains much less of pain. Thanks

No nonsense, highly professional and well trained doctor. The staff is great, and they treat you like a family member. The adjunct facility used for out patient proceedures (down stairs), is Top Notch. Had it not been for Dr. Kalra and his Staff, I would have been forced into surgery, as opposed to Flouriscopic Injections and perlitive care.
