Patients appreciate Dr. Timothy Robert Lubenow for his compassionate and attentive care, with many noting his expertise in pain management and his ability to handle complex cases effectively. They commend his willingness to spend time listening to their concerns and providing detailed explanations of treatment plans, which has led to improved outcomes for chronic pain conditions. However, a common negative theme among reviews is the long wait times experienced during appointments, leading to frustration for those who value punctuality. Despite this issue, patients often mention that the quality of care compensates for the waiting, although they wish for improvements in appointment scheduling.

Dr Lubenow Is my favorite doctor. He's very friendly, and easy to talk to. He has no problem spending extra time with you if needed. He will go the extra mile to make sure you understand everything about your condition.

Had my first visit with Dr. Lubenow and I like how he took the time to explain everything in detail. I found out more detail about my back issues than I had in the last 5 years seeing a different doctor. Looking forward to my two procedures to have better quality of life.

Dr. Lubenow has my utmost respect as a Dr. I've been in his care since 2018. He understands your pain issues and does everything to get you as pain free as possible. Also, he is compassionate, has a caring ear, and takes time to go over a plan of action with you. You may, as some have written complaints about have a wait time, however, he is well worth waiting for.

Dr. Lubenow is the best of the best in pain medicine and anesthesiology. I’ve been with him since 2001. Yesterday, he and his team did a stellate ganglion block on me to calm my CRPS from flaring. A brilliant success!!! Kudos to Dr. Lubenow for handling even the most complex of cases with such finesse. Laura H.
