		The medical counseling and medication program that The DOCTOR has me on saved my life. It is a very comprehensive program. The DOCTOR has explained in great detail how the medications work and what I can reasonably expect from them. He has helped me to understand my condition and teach me how to deal with my illness. Today, my life and productivity level is much higher than I ever expected or hoped it would or could be when I first started. Though I have not experienced any other surgeries nor had Chronic Pain before, I had received therapy and counseling for a period of one and a half years prior to coming to The DOCTOR. My prior program and the doctor I worked with did very little in helping me ease my Pain, Anxiety and ultimately, my Depression. I feel The DOCTOR has put together a program that really works. He has given me, my wife and my family hope that I can have a productive life. Thank you DOCTOR. I hope this testimonial helps you in your website. It is truly the way I feel about you and what you are doing for me.

		At the age of 36 I injured my back in a work-related incident. I had undergone Surgery to try and alleviate the pressure my lower discs were causing to the Spinal Cord. After 2 unsuccessful surgeries, my Orthopedic Surgeon released me from his care. He refused to believe that I was in constant Pain and that the Surgeries didn't improve my condition. On top of that, I had a workman's compensation insurance company sending me to doctors who put me through test after test and also called me a liar! I had minimum income to support my wife and 2 young children. Unable to work, feeling useless and unproductive as a person, I was on the brink of SUICIDE! A friend, who had a similar condition to mine, suggested that I seek the help of his doctor. Needless to say, I was very skeptical and reluctant to go. When I first went to the DOCTOR in 1993, I was severely depressed and in Chronic Pain. The DOCTOR worked with me for many months to find a medication combination to both relieve my depression and Chronic Pain. I still see The DOCTOR on a regular basis and at times my medication still needs to be adjusted to maintain optimum effectiveness. With The DOCTORS help my outlook on life has changed tremendously. I am on medication to control my Depression and although the Chronic Pain in my back will never be completely gone, the Pain Management Treatment I receive makes it more bearable. Even though I have strict limitations and will never be able to function as a whole person, I no longer give up hope. I am able to accept life for what it brings and make the best of it. Have you had past surgeries to relieve your Chronic Pain? Yes 2. A Laminectomy and Spinal Fusion. They only made the Chronic Pain worse. Do you have any thoughts about Chronic Pain? Yes. Chronic Pain is unbearable and incurable. No one can relate until they have experienced it for themselves. Although many try to imagine, there's just no comparison. Most of the medical profession refuse to support its existence. I have first hand knowledge that Chronic Pain does exist and medication does make a huge difference. It's not an addiction to the narcotics, as those who have never experienced severe Pain, it's a way of feeling functional.
