I've been a pain management patient for 30 years, and have had many experiences with injections, meds, etc. Dr. Mei is the first doctor to actually give me any kind of true relief through injections, both TPI and RF ablation. He is very kind and caring, his staff is also very caring and professional, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking pain relief.

Dr Mei safely prescribing pain medication. For me I had no idea how dangerous painkillers are. Under Dr Mei, he informed me of the dangers. Dr Mei is also an expert giving injections both facet type and radio frequency. Thank you Dr Mei.

He is a wonderful Dr. He and his staff are wonderful. I have never had a problem. He is very kind and wants to know of your issues. I was sent to him for a nerve ablation and will be forever grateful he was able to stop my pain with the ablation…I would recommend him to anyone having back and nerve issues…

His office has to be prodded to send the prior authorizations to the insurance company. I've been through this numerous times with his office. Today I was told that the lady that does them is on vacation. What kind of pain management office only has one person who can handle sending the prior authorizations to the insurance company. If you're considering using this doctor you've been warned.
