What Patients Say
Patient Testimonials
“Dr Messinger is a breeze of fresh air. He took his time getting my history, explaining the options and explaining the procedure I picked. He was very aware of my anxiety level and spoke words of calmness. I recommend him to everyone that's in pain. He cares about his patients. I felt prioritized and not like a number.”
— Melinda Maupin
“Dr. Messinger performs miracles. My multiple sclerosis is responsible for a great deal of body pain. This pain is unpredictable and diffuse: the location of my symptoms cannot usually be explained. I never know what state I will be in tomorrow, which--years ago--meant I had to give up my terrific job as the dean of a small college. I do not want to be highly medicated. I have been through all sorts of pain modalities and clinics, including at UVa, with no good results. Dr. Smith at UVa--their spine specialist--sent me to Dr. Messenger, and the results have been--as I've said--miraculous. Dr. Messenger is wonderfully pleasant and he really, really wants to help you! It you are at a dead end with your treatments, please call this smart, kindly, and results-producing doctor. He has certainly changed my life. Carolyn M. Charlottesville”
