Pain Care Specialists Reviews ( 222 )

  1. I haven’t had to see them in o er a year. But, the experience I had with the clinic and Dr. Oh and Dr. Nash was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have been on sever pain meds for over 20 yrs and a couple years of seeing Dr. Oh and …

  2. Worst Dr ever. My husband had injections for chronic neck pain .They did not sterilize the injection site and he ended up with sepsis, and nearly died. He spent t 2 weeks in the hospital. The sepsis infection ate a hole in his spine and he …

  3. Friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere. You don’t feel like you are in a pill mill! It is sort of difficult to get started and finally get the medication to help you but at least you aren’t one of 500 people to be seen in one day.

  4. The service is horrible. If you are lucky to get past the Valley Girl receptionist who talks like she graduated last in her class you might have some relief from their physicians, I could not even make an appointment.I finally got an …

  5. The doctors are great they provide the very best care although today I had called in discussing my severe pain I was having and the lady that took my call said quote “maybe you should go elsewhere for services”in quote maybe she was having …

  6. The best and most efficient care I’ve ever received. My pain disappeared and I was in and out very quickly- exactly what I want when I go to the doctor.

  7. Dr Chen is excellent at the work he does! I’ve had many procedures done on my lower back and they can be very painful. All of the procedures Dr Chen has done, has been without sedation and the pain from them procedures has been very tolerible I highly recommend his Pain care clinic All of the staff there are the best!

  8. The doctors, physician’s assistants, and office staff are always incredibly polite and knowledgeable. They are treating me kindly, listening, and always trying to find the best and most affective treatments for my Chronic Pain. This clinic is the best Dr.’s clinic in town.

  9. I had the opportunity to see Dr. Chen on a few occasions and he is very helpful and knowledgeable. His staff have been very friendly and I would not hesitate to visit Pain Care Specialists again.

  10. Dr.Ohs P.A. DON sent a letter to my Dr.telling him I said I was suicidal which I did not say. I told Don I follow the National Pain Foundation and told him about the fact some Chronic Pain Patients are resorting to suicide. First time I’ve …

  11. I have a great experience with providers and staff at Pain Care Specialists of Oregon. They are very friendly and knowledgable. I recommend this place.

  12. I’ve been living in constant pain for more then 30 years. I won’t lie the shots hurt but after a few days the pain is subsiding. Dr. Oh is a good doctor and the staff is always nice.

  13. Actually one star is way too good for this practitioner. Unless you think its ok to charge $1600.00 for an initial 15 min visit in which you are drug tested, told to take tumeric, an herb/spice, for pain management and scheduled for your next month visit. Ridiculous

  14. All I can say is Dr. Chow has always been very kind,friendly, doctor who explains everything in detail about your situation. I wish their were more doctors like her.

  15. Medical staff is good. HORRIBLE service!!
    They don’t do their follow- up call as promised. If you call, they put you on hold and leave you there. If you leave a message they don’t return your call. A doctor’s office should ALWAYS be available for their patients.

  16. The staff and Dr. Oh were and are caring, understanding, and actually listening. They are right on top of my needs. I already have an appointment for an injection this Wednesday. I’ll be recommending them to my family and friends.

  17. So far I have had a relatively good experience with Dr. Chen and his staff. I do at times feel there could be better communication and more urgency when it comes to getting referrals and getting things scheduled. I had procedure with them …

  18. Just wanted to say that their website is awesome, the clinic is very nice and clean (their reception desk can change colors), the whole staff was super friendly and I enjoyed my first appointment. Thank you!

  19. The appointment being surveyed is for Mary Oliver. She is very satisfied with Dr Choung Vu. Last week she received a “steroid shot” in her left shoulder; the pain is gone and she better range of motion.

  20. The Best medical experience I have had in years. Very little pain during procedure. These guys have it together. Communications, efficiency, and very friendly. I cannot recommend more. These guys are top shelf.

  21. I am so glad I called this place and then cancled before setting up a appointment because they reached their cap for OHP members for the rest of the year so dont go here. Listen to the reviews! They really can save your time and life.

  22. Dr. Chen is the best doctor around! The clinic is so nice. All of the staff and nurses I have dealt with have been helpful and kind. Dealing with chronic pain is not easy but this clinic really helps make it manageable. Would recommend to friends and family!

  23. I don’t recommend this place to anyone that has pain in there lives. I had a pain episode happen on a weekend,so I called the PAIN CLINIC HAHA
    on Monday,hardly could walk and they set up an appointment for Monday at 2pm I …

  24. I can’t say anything bad about this place I’ve been with him for a very long time now Dr Chin had been my original doctor from the beginning and Dr o and now I’m seeing Dr Chow just did the stem later trial where they run the optic wires up …

  25. This place is a total profit factory. I have worked for health care facilities for 15 years and I haven’t seen its equal.
    Good luck if you ever have the misfortune of having to seek treatment here.

  26. Out of the 6 different Pain Care Clinic’s I have used in Eugene , Portland , and Salem over the last 20 years … Pain Care Specialists of Oregon is by far the BEST of the bunch . Both their people and procedures are 5 Star … Glad I found them ….

  27. Don’t even deserve one star. Very frustrating to be in pain and told I will receive a call back and I don’t. I was told you are waiting on my insurance to approve my nerve block procedure only to find out when I called back because no call …

  28. These guys were able to do what my previous providers couldn’t do for the last decade and that was decrease my pain level at least 60%. From someone who has been in excruciating pain for 15 plus years, a 60% plus drop is life changing! I can’t thank them enough.

  29. My wife has been going to Pain Care for a couple of years now. Everyone is always very pleasant and helpful. Dr Winder and Dr Chen are wonderful. They are knowledgeable and compassionate and truly care about their patients. For someone …

  30. Excellent Patience care and Great communication with Dr. Chen and his staff. They are very professional, personal, and attentive to patients needs. Making an appointment is very smooth and accommodating . If you are in chronic pain this clinic is the place to make your life better!

  31. I have only been training there for a short time but I really like this office. Everyone there is very nice, helpful, and professional. I would highly recommend Pain Care Specialists of Oregon. They will take a very good care of you.

  32. I loved the receptionist coordinator and other peopl very kins and gracious. Dr Dr Chen was extremely helpful and described new therapies I had never heard of yet. I am excited to get started.

  33. There was some sort of miscommunication in my appointment today. The staff, and Dr. Cho could not have been more gracious, and helpful.
    They worked me in during a full schedule. And I didn’t have to wait for hours. PCSO, you all have my undying gratitude and thanks!!

  34. Clinic is on time. I usually only wait under 10 minutes. The up front receptionists are very nice and professional.
    My Doctor is excellent and I have trust in her and him.

  35. I have been in chronic pain for most of my adult life and I’ve been to several pain Dr.s and this is the first time I have finally got some pain relief and have also been able to lower my pain meds. I have been going to this clinic for about a year now and this place is the real deal.

  36. This is a very responsible medical clinic. They are very thorough, understanding, caring and professional. If you are just looking to get large amounts of pain medication, this is not the place for you, this medical office requires proof of …

  37. This a a medical office that takes things seriously. They are trying to work as transparently with patients as possible. They let you know up front what they will be doing to help you, what you need to do to help yourself, and how to get …

  38. This clinic does an excellent job of working with their patients and helping them control their pain. They strive to determine root causes of pain and address those causes with multiple strategies. Rather than just tossing pills or placebos …

  39. My husband Myles has been going to see Dr. Cho for the last few months for pain management for degenerative disc disease. He has been on opioids for many years. and these help with his pain. Dr, Cho has given him fewer and fewer pills, and …

  40. I began with this office several years back. Ive had chronic pain for about 15 years. They are phenomenal. The staff is proffesional and the environment always clean. Ive had many procedures that have improved my life drastically. They explain every procedure and its benefit. Im thankful to have them in my life.

  41. It would be awesome if this clinic was willing to share that they Bill 1,600 a session just to talk to one of their doctors and then refuse to share the costs of their “ procedures” in advance. Here’s hoping you have OHP, no copays snd no …

  42. was sent here for pain management in corvallis. was only to get in once the follow-up appts where all in Salem which is hours of traveling. was told to setup my appts months ahead of time to get into corvallis yet still can’t get appts. so …

  43. I have dealt with many Doctor’s over the years concerning extreme pain and this is the first time I have found ones who do care and do their best to help with all honesty and caring. They have impressed me to say the least and I recommend them to everyone.

  44. We had some technical difficulties getting me in the system as not only a new patient but one of the first of the day. The ladies at the front desk and I chatted and laughed through it since it was a computer thing not something they could …

  45. My wife was a patient there. We both have made several calls to pain care specialist as the arthritis in her hip is causing acute pain and she is in need of immediate attention. In the approximately 4 weeks of leaving message after …

  46. I was referred to The Pain Care Specialists for SI Joint problems. I just went through the surgery after having all the steroidal injections. I am healing fine and have gone back to work after one week. It has been two weeks, I am still recovering but have little pain. I will continue to use them for other issues I have in my back.

  47. Dr. Cho rocks. I wish I had found her sooner. I wish she was my anesthesiologist for my surgeries. The clinic is very busy at times, but they are always very efficient and kind to the patients. Highly recommended doctor and clinic.

  48. I don’t feel my doctor was listening to what I had to say. Unfortunate because I felt I had a better relationship with my previous P.A. Didn’t leave with a real good feeling about my visit. I didn’t go to listen to an infomercial. …

  49. This practice has seriously gone downhill since sold to pain care specialists of Oregon. Dr Gullo and team were compassionate providers who treated the whole patient. Pain Care doctors who have come in since lack empathy and compassion. …

  50. Efficient check in and copay handling. Excellent visit with Dr. Chen who provided a detailed exam and followup to the TFSI treatment. Good result from the injection allows me to delay surgery for nerve compromise.

  51. Definitely NOT impressed. They kept me in the dark about a serious spinal condition just so I would keep coming back so they could get my insurance money. None of their procedures were effective and they wanted to do more when what I needed was a surgeon

  52. My husband, Richard, has suffered for years since breaking his back while in the Army. This is a group of extremely qualified specialist. Staff and doctors are very thorough and deeply care about helping relieve pain with his back problems. I researched these doctors and feel confident in their work. I highly recommend them!

  55. From the minute I walked in I felt that everyone there was caring, kind and professional. The folks at the front desk helped me with all of the electronic things that I didn’t understand. The techs taking vital signs and gathering …

  56. My husband came here for post stroke pain syndrome. As a retired RN, I was was appalled at the lack of compassion from the Dr and the substandard professionalism of the front reception staff and the medical assistants in West Linn and …

  57. This group sells high price nonsense instead of simple pain medicine. They billed the VA, the American tax payer, $65,000 for stuff that didn’t work. They left me trapped in bed all weekend as call back never came either. Avoid these greedy bureaucrats!

  58. They do not care about your pain. Appointment 10/21 told needed 2 shots and a nerve blocker shot . Scheduled the 2 shots 11/8 won’t schedule the nerve blocker until a follow up changed the follow up to 12/2 so won’t even talk about scheduling for 7 weeks after there own recommendations. Nerve is 90% of my pain

  59. The best pain clinic I’ve ever been to. Very clean and the PA (David) was very caring and listened to all my questions and concerns. I felt like he truly cared. I would recommend them to anyone having cronic pain issues. Thank you so much for the outstanding care.

  60. I went in and met the dr . The staff was great .the place was very clean. My back pain is over the top. I have to wait over a month for trigger point for my back. I just dont know if I can wait that long for relief.

  61. I was in and out it was painless for the most part and then I had a lot of help I appreciate that and it was a modern procedure I hope for the best I already feel it was well worth it thank you

  62. After 8 years all the crew from Corvallis to Salem to the staff at the river, you have NEVER failed to give me excellent care. I will see you all again in October. Thomas Deats

  71. Definitely the best pain management clinic in Oregon. Tried with other providers but this got me the best solution so far! Overall, I am satisfied with the service. The doctors here have a genuine heart to serve.

  72. The arrogance and incompetence of the front staff is beyond belief . Scheduling errors are common practice. When an appointment error occurs they are aggressive and rude. I am not saying that scheduling errors are due to incompetence but …

  73. Worst. Company. Ever. They JUST billed me for services / procedures performed over 15 months ago, completely messing up my insurance, etc. Their communication was horrible, their facilities deplorable (no signage for their office in a large …

  74. Been suffering from fibromyalgia for 4 years. Tried to go to different pain clinics but they were just a waste of time and money. I was referred to PCSO and after seeing Dr. Chen I somehow felt at ease that he could help me. He was very …

  75. I’ve been to other places for pain management but Pain Care Specialist thankfully tops them all!! They are NOT just pill pushers, they spend time getting to the source of your pain and then treatment begins accordingly. …

  76. At pain care specialist of Oregon Dr. Poly Chen seems to care more about money and procedures then my pain if you’re looking for a good pain doctor I would look farther than this company.

  77. I’ve been going to Pain Care Specialists for quite some time. They are trying their best to figure out what to do for me. They’re always very professional very courteous and I would recommend anyone in pain to go see them.

  78. I was very clear with Dr. Oh that the treatments he suggested have never worked for me. He insisted I take an antidepressant which I have a horrible history with. After the appointment I realized the med he prescribed was a known allergen. …

  81. Puts on a facade of being nice and caring. They don’t listen, had a pamphlet in his pocket and decided what treatment works best for me before even talking to me. Came in said this is what we’re doing. Have a good day. They do not see a person, they see money.

  82. If your in pain, DO NOT! I REPEAT DONT GO TO THESE PEOPLE! Went for a consultation about neck pain, 3 days after my first appointment I was told to come back. I went to my scheduled appointment, got put into a room, I was then being prepped …

  83. Everyone should be aware that this office mandates that you have to sign up for an app called Neuroflow in order to be seen here. It costs $200 every month for the app. They say your insurance may cover it, but my insurance couldn’t find …
