David Gutierrez, MD - Pain Management in Torrington, Connecticut

“UPDATE: It's a few months down the road now and no pain relief for my daughter. I would think being in the pain management business that one could expect at least a bit of pain relief to occur but unfortunately that did not happen. An interlaminar epidural spinal injection was performed and when my daughter had side effects from the procedure she called Dr. G's office and was told that those side effects were perfectly normal however when my daughter went back for her F/U appt the Dr told her that he would not attempt any other spine injections due to the fact that she experienced abnormal side effects from the procedure. So which is it, were the side effects normal or did the procedure cause problems that deemed my daughter as an unfit candidate for any future pain relief i.e, cervical injection etc? I'm also assuming that therapeutic nerve blocks do not exist in this office because we were told he does not do that. Also, when a prescription needed to be refilled that Dr had ordered initially and was set to run out, (a specific compound) she called that into Dr. G's office and was told he/someone would call that script into the compound pharmacy but that never took place so the script was never renewed. I had such high hopes for Dr. Gutierrez, I was certainly drawn to him because of his credentials but unfortunately my daughter is still in as much pain as before. ************** I accompanied my daughter this week to her appointment with Dr. Gutierrez and everything went smoothly thanks to the Dr. and his staff. The Medical Assistant is super kind, thorough, and caring and Dr. Gutierrez impressed me a lot. I feel very comfortable with his expertise, you can just tell this guy knows his stuff and that he truly cares. I trust him and more importantly my daughter does too, he's open to discussion and really takes the time to listen. We've never had to wait too long while in his office which is saying a lot given the fact the waiting room is always pretty full, it's kinda striking the number of people that desperately need pain relief. Thankfully there are doctors who dedicate their careers to helping people in pain, I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Gutierrez for my daughter, he's a great guy and I highly recommend him to others.”

“Had severe, migrating upper leg to knee pain. Was send to Dr. G by my PCP. Told Doc pain would move all over the place. He said IT Band, "200% positive", gave cortisone injection in knee area. No relief. Went to a different MD who had a CT scan done and it was a bulged sacral disc.”
