Chicagoland Pain Management - Pain Management in Bolingbrook, Illinois

“ZERO stars. Called to make appointment on July 9th, 2024. Gave insurance information and appointment was made for months later. (Sept) I had forgotten when appointment was and called on September 3rd, 2024 for reminder. Message left for me from clinic on September 4th, 2024 stated they do NOT except my insurance and would NOT be able to help me. My major complaint with that is that I'm in severe pain and I was waiting to be seen. If my insurance was not exceptible, they should of told me sooner. I went without help for months waiting. And now I'm in the same boat I was in, in July! NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL AT ALL! ZERO stars.”

“First, let me say that. I have been a critical care/ER/PACU nurse for almost 40 years. I am extremely careful who I see for medical care. Found out I have a degenerating condition that causes extra bone to be deposited in various areas. I've dealt with this for 30 years and have seen numerous doctors, with no actual diagnosis. I saw Dr. Tubic, who diagnosed me in q0 minutes, then confirmed it on both CT scan and MRI. This disease causes multiple bone spurs to develop, pressing on nerves in my spine and causing extreme pain throughout my body, specifically my head, my shoulders, and my lower back. It also causes tendons and ligaments connected to my spine to turn into bone. Also causes vertebrae to fuse together, stopping normal movement. As a result, I consulted the pain clinic about 4 years ago. I have had a ton of procedures and a spinal cord stimulator implanted. Both the doctors and the nurse practitioners have been great to work with. I have mentioned recently that I wanted to get off opiate pain medicine, since it knocks me out badly. They have worked with me to provide alternatives. I am now looking at an implanted pump that can distribute medicine to control the severe muscle spasms that come with this. I had to stop working about 4 years ago and their staff had to go through a ton of paperwork for my short and long term disability, including my application for state disability. I can't recommend them enough! Yes, they are usually very fast with their appointments because the doctors focus on interventional pain relief. If you want actual answers and pain management, call for an appointment. The first time you'll likely see a doctor, but the nurse practitioners and PAs handle it from there. They are knowledgeable, esp. Natalie K. I schedule procedures with whatever doctor has an opening because I trust all of them. And for all the negative reviews about insurance denials, THE ISSUE IS YOUR INSURANCE, NOT THE CLINIC! And yes, many insurances take more than a month to issue either a rejection or approval. They do this to try and get you to give up and not get things done.”

“I've had a fabulous experience here with Dr. Tubic. I appreciate his understanding of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and the complications that come with it. He has been super relentless in figuring out how to reduce my pain. Only giving 4 stars because the front desk folks never answer the phone and sometimes don't return voicemails.”

“I'm giving 2 stars on this even though I would like to leave 1 but the office staff/nurses are all very nice, courteous, and helpful. I don't feel the same way about the standard of care from my doctor though. I went to pain management yesterday for my tailbone that I broke a while ago and saw Dr. McDaniel. He was 50 minutes late to my appointment and then rushed me through mine. He was aware I'm on disability for fibromyalgia yet with barely any warning he pulled my pants pretty low and slipped his finger down my crack and pushed really hard. It was excruciating. Then he bent me backwards from the shoulder on each side which was also painful... not so much to the tailbone but my back. He was too rough and I felt a little violated and not listened to. He told me he wants to give me a shot in my tailbone and more x-rays, didn't tell me what kind of shot or go over any risk factors or questions I might have. He just left the room and I assumed he was coming back with my paperwork but he had moved on to the next patient. The nurses came in to give me my paperwork and I asked about pain meds til my shot and I had to wait another 20 minutes in the lobby because he was with another patient. The nurse came out looking sad and said he refused and to take Tylenol. I wasn't even given a reason. He also wants to use only local anesthetic for my shot as opposed to sedation because I'm not squeamish with needles but wouldn't someone with severe fibro fair better with this under sedation? I feel very uncomfortable and do not trust him. I'm waiting to hear back from my primary about her opinion on it but honestly I just came home yesterday and cried.”
