Nexus Pain Center Reviews ( 124 )

  1. PLEASE AVOID THESE PEOPLE THE STAFF IS RUDE!!!MY APPOINTMENT WAS @9am I DIDNT GET SEEN UNTIL 11:15 THIS PLACE SUCKS!! THE SECRETARY BANIYAH IS A FAT AND RUDE

  2. Very hard to contact. No one answers the phone. A recording says to leave a message but it appears it is not taking the messages. Very inconvenient to make an appointment.

  3. The doctors here are pretty good however dealing with the staff is outright atrocious. The better than you rude attitude will definitely make you happy to go elsewhere.

  4. THE BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN HEAVY SET RECEPTIONIST AT THE DESK IN THE SURGERY DEPARTMENT IS VERY RUDE. SHE CALLED ME UP TO THE DESK JUST TO TELL ME TO STOP POPPING MY GUM, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHE WAS TALKING ACROSS …

  5. Excellent service from the entire staff. They staff and doctors are not rude. Sometimes you have to wait, but that is because they have a lot of patients.

  6. Has anyone else had problems with their billing. I have had 3 follow ups here and they don’t know why I come in. I said you keep scheduling me. I have to pay every time I come in.

  7. This is by far the worse doctors in America dr.princell is a total idiot gives you scripts for pain that no one in town carries because they just came out you’d be better off getting meds off the street

  8. Employees of this facility are incompetent, inadequate and lazy. They don’t return phone calls, don’t call you back when they assure you they will, give you different excuses and reason for the same question. Don’t waste your money most importantly don’t waste your time especially if your loved one is in excruciating pain.

  9. I saw Dr. Change last year. Due to family problem I had to leave for year..yes they are busy.i would rather have an intelligent physician who is busy thsn what I ran into in Nevada. Going back in Sept.

  10. I have been going here for five years now and the service has always been good from the time I sign in until the time I sign out! I would definitely recommend Nexus to others who are in need of good pain management! Thank you to all of the staff for always doing such a good job! 😀👏👍 …

  11. I had 2 new patients visits and was never seen I sat in that Cold Lobby for over three hours and I was never taken back to be triage If I had an appointment at 8:30 and all of my paper work was done and my insurance was verified there was …

  12. Very rude receptionist!! Scheduler does not return phone calls..had to call and leave message on different extension to get anyone to call back..then scheduled as new patient office visit when I have been there before..completely …

  13. Excellent place to be referred to. The Doctors, nurses, and reception area checking in & checking out are all great. They are very understanding about your pain & try to get to the bottom of it so they can have the right treatment plan for you. They have below greatly.

  14. Never got to see Dr. After first appt- -PA every time for 2 years. The PA is good but my medication was a goddam joke.I have traumatic brachial plexus avulsions and ripped up spinal cord- one of the most painful conditions you can have. …

  15. The past four visits to this practice have been absolutely HORRIBLE. The staff is very rude and condescending. They forget that I PAY THEM and not the other way around. The patients makes the practice and this is something that they haven’t …

  16. Wouldn’t even give this place 1 star nurse practitioner here doesn’t even know simple math, gave my wife who has chronic pain 5 days short of medicine. 3 pills a day for 30 days. 30x 3 is 90. They have her 75 pills. So your telling me 3 pills a day for 30 days is 75 yeah doesn’t add up.

  17. That place is garbage, people working at the front desk are not polite at all, Nexus all they care is money specially if you are active duty Soldier who has tricare , they are really good to give you heavy drugs and not looking on …

  18. i have been going to the nexus pain center for over a year. Every person i have ever seen or talked to have been extremely helpful. Have been to other pain management centers and the wait time is unbelievable. You will not experience …

  19. Dr. Prinsell had great bedside manor and spent as much time with me as I needed to understand the procedure. Staff was very professional as well. Would definitely recommend!

  20. I love this clinic, the staff is always very nice and helpful. Dr. Prinscell and Kristie Spivey are the best. They always listen to what I am saying . I have never waited more that 15 minute for a an appointment, unlike other clinic.

  21. Chronic back and neck pain issues. Went in to first visit with prior mri of low back and told Dr.O of my chronic neck pain.just by mri of back that I brought in he started me off on several meds one of which was fentynl patches and referred …

  22. Slowest service ever! I have an appointment and if missed or late I have to pay money and get lowest priority of service possible. I make the appointments and I still end up waiting in lobby every time for more than an hour. Then I get …

  23. Receptionist EXTREMELY rude and nasty. Change their hours and don’t notify patients who already have appts. The “pa’s seem to care about patients, but the Dr. Treat ppl like you are second class. So of the nurses need to be taught …

  24. Since I started seeing Dr. Akbar this year, I can say that he has managed my pain level that is working for me. He is a very pleasant doctor and will explain everything to you.

  25. Returning patient, waited 3 weeks for an appointment just to get there and them cancel it because they didn’t do their job and send me the packet. If your going to a pain clinic it’s for a reason. To have to wait longer when your in pain because of their incompetence is just ridiculous.

  26. Dr. Akbary is a great doctor. Very kind and knowledgeable. Gave me great information tailored to my specific problems. I would highly recommend this center and this doctor. Glad to have Dr. Akbary as my physician.

  27. They have a friendly staff and they always make me and my wife feel comfortable and they always take out the time to speak when we’re in the waiting room and Dr. O always listen to ur concerns and always do whats best for me thats why i …

  28. I have not been there for over 3 years, but I just got a bill for $2500. The largest part was $1900 for a drug screen on my final visit. I didn’t have a drug screen that day, but if I had, they charge $200 for a self pay drug screen and it …

  29. They literally care nothing about their patients. About 3 months back I changed insurance and my new insurance required prior auths. Because they didn’t do it appropriately, not only am I still having to pay full price for all my meds …

  30. The staff is patient and understanding, Dr. Oglesby a blessing from God, this doctor removed pain that I had been fighting for years. I didn’t even remember how it felt to have a MD that’s actually understand how debilitating pain is, I so happy to have them in my life.

  31. I personally work here at the moment and it’s a great job! Yes the wait times might be a little longer than expected at times but people lets be real, what doctors office isn’t these days?!? These doctors here take pride in what they do so …

  32. I had a back procedure done yesterday. It was much easier than first 2 procedures last year. I also recommend Dr. O and the newest Dr. there I saw once about 3 months ago. I don’t remember his name but he is the newest addition and he was very kind and helpful.

  33. It’s a shame you can’t leave zero stars. I worked in the surgical center as an RN and complained multiple times about under staffing and safety issues for the patients. Soon after this I was terminated on false allegations. This facility …

  34. Been a patient of Dr Chang for most of my 10 years here. As far as medically knowledgable and technically correct, he is one of the best. However, he is so cheap he won’t even pay for hot water to wash your hands. Also, he is amazingly …

  35. I am pleased with my service I get here. I never wait more than 30 mins, my first few months here I waited longer. But I wait long at every other doctors appointment I have. Dr. Olgesby takes some getting use too, but after a while he’s a …

  36. Dr.Akbary is a patient doctor who listens and does his best to address patient issues. I have had nothing but great interactions with him and his staff.

  37. My Mom appointment was at 12pm, we arrived at 11:35. She was placed in a room with another patient and they both waited for 1 hour to be called on. I had to be their advocate in order for them to be called on. This place is aweful in …

  38. The wait was very long, however, I disagree with most of these negative reviews. I went in there expecting the worst from them.
    The staff is EXTREMELY kind, compassionate, and helpful so long as you are kind …

  39. I have had several procedures done at the Nexus Pain Clinic of Columbus. Dr. H. Akbary is phenomenal, he addressed all my concerns, professional…all around great experience. I can’t imagine going anywhere where else.

  40. Been dealing with back pain for years. Dr. Ahkbary listened to my concerns, and explained to me what course of action I needed to take, to make my pain go away. I recommend Dr. Ahkbary 100%.

  41. I give Nexus Pain and Dr. Arkbary five stars. Dr. Arkbary is very professional and attentive to his patients. He has a positive attitude. He is totally awesome doctor. Dr. Arkbary explains the procedures and make sure you understand them. I highly recommend Dr. Arkbary.

  46. Well, it’s my follow up appointment day and I haven’t received any of the services the doctor put me in to receive since our initial appointment which cost $200 Out-of-pocket. They have purposely not scheduled any appointments since my …

  47. I had a Sacroiliac injection for back pain today with Dr Akbary. Let me start by saying he is an awesome doctor and has superb bedside manners. I could go on all day about this doctor. I was scared out of my wits listening to others who had …

  48. Dr. Akbary is a great doctor who explains everything about pain areas your feeling and solutions to reduce it. Make sure you bring your MRI and/or X-Ray write ups so he can fully understand what has been diagnosed if your a referral like me from Fort Benning. He knows his stuff and too the point.

  49. Dr.akbary was excellent. Was given a epidural in lower left back. Also was very helpful and answered all my concerns, about my shots in knees and shoulder…. Would recommend him indeed…💯💯 …

  50. I was so disappointed. I was given a suspected diagnosis without a look at my history or images. I filled out only half the packet for a new patient, it’s 30+ pages, half if it is about opioid use. I want pain management, not drugs and …

  51. Very friendly and helpful front desk, nurses, and doctors. They are willing to work with schedules as best as they can, try new medicine to help you with any and all pain levels, and talk you through all procedures. Great place! Military friendly, handicap friendly.

  52. Oh my word!!! Arrived a few minutes later, expected a little bit of a wait. Appointment was supposed to be at 0930…it is now 1020 and others that have come in after me are being seen. Uncool!!!

  53. Dr. Akbary is one of dozens of doctors I’ve seen for my back injury, and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more confident in my care plan. Dr Akbary has been nothing but professional and has helped me further understand my injury and find …

  54. Dr. Akbary is amazing!! I have cervical spinal stenosis and a torn rotator cuff. Dr. Akbary takes time to explain things to you and for you to ask questions. I love how he doesn’t push opioids as I am wanting to stay away from them but he still manages to keep me pain free!! I highly recommend Dr. Akbary and his office!!

  55. Dr. Akbary is wonderful! I take my brother to see him and we have had very positive results. He ordered him a back brace and before we left that day we had it in hand. Great doctor!

  56. Dr. Akbary!!! Thank You for the epidural that has afforded me the ability to walk without my cane. As A Naval Veteran with bilateral hip and shoulder replacements… It’s difficult to move about with or without a walking device. So, Thank You for the gift of mobility.

  57. I don’t have a lot of experience with going to the doctor, but after not getting help for more than a year I had to do something. Dr. Akbary and his staff treated me better than I could have asked for. Far exceeded my expectations. I was …

  58. I’ll give it 2 stars because Dr. O is an amazing doctor. The staff is incredibly belittling and rude. I was seen in their office and was scheduled for 2 procedures. They called me two weeks later to cancel because it was too early and …

  62. Dr. Oglesby really changed my life! I retired after 20 years in the Army. I dealt with chronic pain for years, and it was miserable. After seeing Dr. Oglesby my way of life got a bit better. I still deal with problems, but with his help I’m slowly starting to get on the right track. Thank you Sir and God bless you!

  63. I had a nine o’clock appointment. Sat in the waiting room for 50 minutes. Asked if it was normal to sit here for this long. Was told that my doctor was doing surgery and unfortunately I was scheduled at the same time. If this is normal …

  64. They just push for surgery. Every time. They round us up like cattle. The staff is so rude, non-communicative, with a huge lack of care. You can’t get ahold of your doctor in between appointments. Every appointment, no matter what day …

  65. After several months of dealing with Martin Army Community Hospital’s misdiagnosis of the loss of strength and extreme pain in my left arm, I finally got a referral to Nexus to see Dr. Akbury. Over the past 3 months, I have started to …

  66. The facility is very well taken care of and the staff really know how to take care of their patients. They have cutting-edge technology and are very good providing effective treatments. Dr. Prinsell makes receiving an epidural much less painful than other doctors I have visited in the past.

  67. The staff are very friendly and professional. My doctor, Dr. Akberry, is one of the best doctors for pain management I have ever met! He has so many ideas to help a patient with chronic pain issues. I have recommended him to many patients with the same issues I am facing. I appreciate him so much!!!

  68. Dr. Ahkbary and his staff have been extremely helpful towards me getting my pain in a manageable state. This is the first time I’ve had hopes in getting back to normal in a long time.

  80. Left 3 messages now with the new patient liaison since the last week in October to schedule for my VA referral, still haven’t received a call back. Not really off to a great start.

  81. Was just recently, Dr. O said he’d be back to follow-up with information and he never returned. First, waited over an hour before going back where waited another 20 minutes or so. Doc had one foot out the door during the 30 seconds he spent with her. Nurse provide no answers either.

  82. Dr. Akbary is absolutely amazing! He really listens and shows great concern to my problems and I love the fact that he gives me options in what we do and not just throw medicine at me and push me out the door.

  83. *** Update . I had a FOLLOW-UP VISIT at the NEXus Pain Center of Columbus at this location and was treated in a rude and poor manner (i wasn’t the only one, they don’t care if your old, military or veteran, disabled) by a clerk at the front …
