Dr. John Baber, DO - Pain Management in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“I have been struggling with pain for many years due to chronic rheumatoid disease. I also cannot take pain medicine, I react to every single one. My rheumatologist recommended Dr Baber and he has been so good. He listens to me, understands my pain issues and helps to determine where the source of the pain is coming from so he can be very precise with injections. Every doctor I've had over the years has tried to put me on pain pills. I have chronic pain and the thought of that scares me a little. And after numerous surgeries I have been put on almost every pain pill available and react to every one. I appreciate not having to be reliant on pills to have genuine relief. I'm not pain free, but my pain is managed well with injections.”

“In a world of doctors who just don't seem to care for or even get to know their patients, in my experience Dr. Baber is one of the few who truly care and genuinely want to help. Thank you for all that you've done for me. Literally changed my life for the better”

“He and his staff has the professionalism, compassion, understanding, that God gave a rock. If you're up to a wrestling match this is the doctor to go to. He's pushing the epidural shots (HARD). His notes are to diminish the patient and cover his raggedy tail for his incompetency as well as his staff. Last but not least...could someone tell me are they racist, as well, just asking????”

“The first time my husband went to him he explained his pain, and it appeared that everything was understood. The number of er visits dropped dramatically. Second visit Baber increased the number of pills prescribed, but decreased the dosage then couldn't "understand" why our er visits Increased again. Then he freaked out when my husband mentioned that he read his notes. Then he gave a list of other pain mgt doctors, and then wrote in his notes that the patient was opioid dependent. We caught him and his nurse in several lies. He also said that he couldn't write any more prescriptions (he only ordered tramadol) knowing that he has other patients who get more potent meds. He then wrote that there were medication inconsistencies and that my husband had broken the opioid contract??”
