Center For Pain Management - Pain Management in Naperville, Illinois

“Dr. Hashim is the best pain management doctor I know! After 7 back surgeries and a total hip, I will never see anyone else! If you require special injections, Dr.Hashim has the best hands I know. I'm a R.N., and have seen many injections but none as good as Doctor. If you do not like following the current requirements by law for prescription medication for pain don't choose Dr. Hashim! She follows the law, you will feel safe, my pharmacist states it's always right. Just remember when you're a chronic pain patient you want a doctor who follows the rules and keeps you safe! I've been her patient over 15 years!”

“I waited several months after leaving this practice to think about my experience and write a review. I would highly not recommend this practice or doctor. First and foremost, the cost. I was self pay and she charged me double what I am paying at a much bigger practice. I am also self pay there. She also always presumed I didn't have the out of pocket cost to pay for injections. Maybe at her inflated costs, no I wouldn't have. But I did at my new place, Gateway Spine. It was still expensive and she shouldn't make assumptions. Nor should she be over charging for sub par care. I keep getting bills that randomly get bigger and bigger for the same dates or service. I will not be paying. Being I was self pay, there should never be a bill. Then there was the care. It was horrible. She has zero bed side manner and she actually speaks down to you. It all felt very narcissistic which is the last quality you want in a doctor! She has no trust between her patients. Requires you to bring in old prescriptions counts every pill. She might say this is required or standard but I highly doubt Gateway Spine and all my other pain doctors aren't following the law and standards when it comes to prescribing pain medications. I'm not required to do that anywhere else it's her own thing. My first appointment was THREE long agonizing hours and she is ALWAYS running behind and all follow ups were super long. I get it there was a lot to review and, I've never had that lengthy of an appointment with any other pain doctor, so it is indeed possible to use appointment time for efficiently. She would literally scold me like a child. She has one great staff member Iliana and she treated her how she treated her patients, horrible. I'm hoping by the time I am writing this she has moved on to something else, I know she was working towards other things. I'd also like to thank her for her support, kindness, and she was able to give me direction that the doctor could not. Communication was difficult and she was extremely invalidating. She wasn't willing to adequately help with my pain. I was in a rough spot after a cross country move. I'm feeling so much better now. And I came to find at my new practice that along with my back pain I had a very sick gallbladder that needed removal. The organ was actually dead. So yes, I was experiencing immense amounts of back pain. She chose to not believe me. It's hard enough being a pain patient. The stigma is real. So if you are a pain patient looking for a new doctor? I highly recommend you going elsewhere. Her own staff told me she was "crazy" and not providing appropriate care and for my own safety? To go elsewhere. That says A LOT.”

“I've been seeing Dr. Hashim for several years and I've been very happy with my care. I've had chronic pain and other health issues that makes my pain hard to control sometimes. Dr. Hashim always listens to me, and with her help we've found ways to control my pain with minimal medication. She's strict and expects patients to follow her rules, but with all the abuse in the news I don't blame her. I've been very happy with my care and will continue to see Dr. Hashim in the future.”

“I am no longer in neck pain thanks to Dr. Hashim. I have faith she will fix my lower back pain too. Even when something doesn't work, she never gives up and keeps trying for a fix. She keeps things very simple and to the point so that you can receive the best care possible as soon as possible. She works in a certain way in order to get you out of pain quickly by sticking to the facts. She suggests what she thinks should be done, schedules it as soon as possible, and even confirms it with the insurance all at once. If it doesn't work because injections are 50/50, she tries another approach. Coming from a girl who contemplated her life due to her chronic pain; I appreciate her so much and know how much she cares.”
