Carolina Pain & Spine - Pain Management in Wake Forest, North Carolina

“I have been a patient of Dr Yelle for 5 years now. I happily drive 2+ hours to and from his office, every 3 months. He is the only doctor that has ever taken my pain seriously and has done everything possible to help me live a functioning life. He is a very compassionate man, making him a superb physician! I am beyond thankful that I found him, all those years ago.”

“Dr. Shrimanker was excellent. He came to my appointment having already looked at my MRI and CT scans. He reviewed my paperwork ahead of time, so we were able to jump right into diagnosing my issue. He asked really good questions, listened well and I didn't feel rushed at all. I was thoroughly impressed by my visit. The staff was friendly and efficient as well. As I sat in the waiting room, the nurses would come to the door and call other patients back and those nurses knew each person by name. It was obvious that they care about their patients. Overall, I had a great experience with Dr. Shrimanker.”

“Carolyn is AMAZING!! I had been dealing with severe pain all over from fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and several other spinal issues for over 3-4 years. Throughout that time I was going through test after test, with no resolve. Caroline recommended a regimen for the fibromyalgia that is helping TREMENDOUSLY! She then recommended a procedure for my upper and mid back pain. The procedure was VERY successful and we are now scheduled for a different procedure for my lower back. I am FINALLY, slowly getting my life back. She is truly a blessing and works diligently to help her patients. I have been fighting for answers to find relief and going through test after test all these years. After my very first visit with Carolyn I felt hope again. She definitely deserves recognition for her dedication and sincerity in standing by her oath as a doctor! Many, many thanks to her as well as Dr. Shrimanker (performed the procedure) and the office staff! 5 Star service all around!!”
