Dr. James J. Czyrny - Pain Management in Williamsville, New York

“This was my second visit with Dr Czyrny (pronounced "Churny" if you ever need an appointment). If you've ever had a nerve conduction study, you're probably cringing at the thought of having to have TWO of them done. But hang with me. The first time I saw Dr. Czyrny was before I had a spinal fusion surgery. My orthopedic surgeon sent me here prior to cutting into me. I didn't know what to expect and really didn't do any homework ahead of time. My ortho told me that I'd feel some "tingling" and some "slight shocking" feelings, but that was it. It honestly didn't sound too bad. I've got a few tattoos, so needles don't exactly scare me. I wish I could tell you more about that initial appointment, but I really don't remember that much about it. It was in 2015. Nothing really stands out. After a car accident in 2017, my shoulder specialist sent me to see Dr. Czyrny for a nerve conduction study because I was complaining of some shoulder pain that sounded a lot like a torn rotator cuff. He did some X-rays, an MRI, and then felt the nerve conduction study was important. I knew I had been before, but had forgotten what kind of adventure I was in for, so I did some homework this time. Holy crap! To say this scared the pants off me is an understatement! I watched videos and read reviews that had me so scared that I was ready to call the whole thing off. However, the morning of my appointment, I found my biggest & brightest pair of big girl undies and went into that appointment expecting a horrifying experience, but knowing I'd live to tell about it. As I sat in the waiting room, a calm feeling came over me when I started to think logically. This nerve conduction study was something I had done before. This procedure didn't stand out in my mind in any way. It didn't stand out as being awful or as being incredibly painful. It didn't stand out as being anything. That made me realize that it probably wasn't going to be so bad. When my name was called and I went back to the procedure room, Dr. Czyrny eased my fears pretty instantly. He didn't necessarily recognize my face, but he did know my name and he knew he had done the study on me before. He asked me if I had any questions, and I told him I didn't really remember the first experience. He said, "Well, that means either it isn't as bad as people say it is or maybe I am actually skilled at this after all!" We both chuckled at his joke, and he had me sit on the table while he began with the needles. I felt literally almost nothing. Remember when you were a kid in the '70s and you'd shuffle your socked feet across the shag carpet? Then you'd go find your little brother and touch him, both of you screaming for just a second during that quick electric shock? No? Was that just me? Well, this was less than that. Dr. Czyrny really is skilled at what he does, and while he had to go up and down both arms, I had no problems sitting like a champ for the procedure. I didn't need my big girl undies after all. I could most definitely have done just fine with little girl undies. Certainly no need for granny panties! So if you're having a nerve conduction study and you're scared out of your wits, I'm not going to guarantee that the procedure won't hurt at all. But I will tell you that if you have that study done with Dr. Czyrny, it'll be a breeze! (Still, you should probably wear some underwear.)”

“Dr. Czyrny is stellar! Five stars for this doctor who explains everything he is doing clearly so the patient understands. He doesn't make you wait in the waiting room as he takes you when your appointment is scheduled. Also he takes his time to make sure that you are comfortable and know what is going to happen before the test is started. 5 stars for communication, compassion and timeliness.”

“I recently seen Dr. Czyrny for an EMG testing. I was totally worked up not knowing what to expect. Dr. Czyrny was the most caring, knowledgeable Dr. He explained everything he was doing and let's just say I was worked up for nothing. Very minimal discomfort. Great Dr. He knows what he is doing”

“Dr. Czyrny is a pleasant, caring, knowledgeable and efficient physician. He cares deeply for all his patients by providing enough time for proper treatment but yet there is no waiting time before an appointment. At most times, he can feel the area of pain. In order to really pin point the area, he will use electromyography. After treatment, he communicates clearly with other doctors. My husband and I are so very pleased to have Dr. Czyrny as our physician to care for all of our muscular and skeletal problems.”
