Need a second opinion?  Talk to us.

When you are facing a serious medical situation, getting a second opinion makes sense -- especially when surgery may be required. The more informed you are, the better enabled you are to make the right choice.

The doctors at the Institute for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pain have extensive training and experience diagnosing and treating serious pain disorders of the neck, back, legs and body. That's why so many people turn to us for review of their CT-Scans, MRIs and X-rays. They know that we can expertly guide them through the options and help them determine how best to relieve their pain.

We start with the person. After treating severe pain patients for over 20 years, we know how debilitating it can be. Pain can rob you of a fulfilling life; it can be depressing, and the frustrations of dealing with pain can wear you down. We understand how difficult it can be and know that pain can affect not only you, but your family, too. Our goal is to understand you and the exact nature of your pain, and then help you make the best decisions for you and your family.

We understand that pain management and treatment options can be complicated, and may even be confusing to you. Not only are we expert at diagnosing and treating your pain, but we go the extra mile to help you understand exactly what your choices are. Working with us, you will understand the pros and cons of each treatment option, the potential risks, and what you can realistically expect as an outcome.

We also know that by the time you come to us, you have been suffering from serious pain and the stress it causes. The last thing you need is a doctor who refuses to speak plainly. We will walk you through your MRI, CT-Scan or X-ray, and then explain your situation using models of the neck, back, legs and body. We promise to take the time to clearly explain your situation and options. Plus, you can rest assured that we will always guide you towards the least-invasive option that will help relieve your pain.

Because we treat the individual, so many people turn to us for a second opinion, and work with us to treat their pain, as well. We know that you want qualified, knowledgeable and experienced doctors and surgeons -- we have them on staff. We know that you want to get out of pain with the most minimally invasive procedures -- that's our goal, too.

We also believe that you want your doctor to understand you, your unique pain, and its impact on your life -- a doctor with great expertise in diagnosing and treating severe pain. If you agree, and want a doctor who will listen to you and understand you, who will explain your options clearly, and who will help you make the best decision for you and your family, then you should seriously consider the Institute for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pain.
