Dr. Vidya R. Bethi, MD - Pain Management in Clarksville, Tennessee

“I went here for serve arthritis pain in my shoulders. Dr. Bethi explained options for my pain in detail. I have been to different places since being diagnosed with severe arthritis in both shoulders in 2018. This Doctor is highly experienced in her field along with her staff. That's something I noticed about them right off. I just don't understand the negative reviews? Those people need to have their head examined. Take it from me don't pay attention to those negative reviews. Go see this Doctor for yourself and make your own decision. if you want to minimize your pain or have it stop all together. I will definitely be going back to this doctor in the future. I'm a local Middle Tennessee residential contractor for the last 35+ years.”

“I found this clinic to be reputable and a caring staff . The doctor was caring and knowledgeable! Explained the game plan for me. My procedure went well . The nurse that assisted her ,was excellent too! I didn't care for the 2nd nurse that came into check my BP! I think she was rude to come in and check my BP! The other nurse had been checking it,as it was elevated. I felt like the 2 nd nurse was " moving the meat" to get me out . It didn't appear busy to me! Thank you for the dedication of this patient clinic.The gal at front desk called next day to check on me.”

“I felt she was a pill pushed even though I went to her for alternative pain treatment ideas. 1st visit she told me she was going to find narcotics I my system. Which she didn't. Told me her alternative treatment was prayer. The 2nd visit she pretty much told me to tell her whatever pain meds I wanted and she would prescribe them to me. I left and never went back.”

“Didn't listen to me. Trying to keep from seeing a pain doctor every month, for financial reasons, but since the fed govt as decided to keep people in pain from getting medications, Doctors are afraid to keep prescribing narcotics for chronic pain. She immediately scheduled me for 5 appointment in a 2 month time period getting more procedures (that I have tried in the past), so how is that keeping my cost down? I cannot afford to keep having procedures that do nothing. I get my nerves burned in my back once a year and it is not time to do that. On my 2nd visit, she said she wanted to redo my nerve burn, even though I am not at the point of needing that, and it's expensive. She does not let you become an established patient before deciding what she thinks is best for you and never read my chart to try to get to know me. She actually told me that people should start drinking alcohol again, instead of taking narcotics, because it's legal! Drinking is SO MUCH WORSE than narcotics, in so many ways! AND, it's not covered by medicare and when you become an alcoholic it causes so many more issues. I was SHOCKED to what I was hearing. She said gone are the days of staying on pain medications and I needed to be weaned off of them. I have issues from neck to toe. They aren't going away, they aren't going to get better, they are going to get worse! How is taking me off the one thing that gives me ANY relief at all help me? Doctors are so afraid of the DEA, they are not doing the best thing for their patients. I am not a drug addict, I have pain and will have pain for the rest of my life! Telling me you want to wean me off my medication on the very first visit is fricking ridiculous! I walked out of my second visit, knowing that was the last time I would see this doctor! I'm frustrated as pain management doctors are hard to find. They want to make you spend money you don't have on expensive procedures and come in every month! If they are THAT afraid of the DEA, they need to NOT be a pain management physician! I called for a voluntary release from the clinic letter. It's been several weeks and I still don't have it and I see my new doctor (really my old doctor that I'm going to go back to). If you already have a pain managment plan that works for you, don't go here, as she will try to change everything, without even really knowing about you! I'm frustrated over the DEA changes to pain meds, it puts those of us in pain inn a real jam, but doctor's like this are ridiculous.!!!!!!”
