Kathy Wang, DO - Pain Management in Puyallup, Washington

“I have been to many pain specialists over the last 20 years dealing with chronic pain from 2 bad auto accidents and the surgeries that followed. I have met caring doctors with their own agendas- for example a doctor that only wanted to implant a spinal cord stimulator. I really didn't want one- for several reasons, but that's all he would consider for me. I've met rude, dismissive doctor's- who told me I'd just have to accept the fact that I would be living with a rather high level of pain and there's nothing to be done for it. I've been made to feel like a drug seeker- even though I have always carefully managed my medication. I just quit trying to get better than I was for years. My primary care dr. and I worked to manage the pain, but thought I'd try again as I've gotten older. Dr. Wang is amazing. It's not fair to give her low reviews based on services from the office staff, which I've found very pleasant. Dr. Wang is intelligent, caring, and told me right away she could help me . I wanted to get off medication, but get pain relief. She immediately put a plan into action. I only hesitated to review her, because she's busy and now more people will know how good she is, but they should! If you are hurt and have a real pain issue I would recommend Dr. Wang.”

“Just a word of caution...if all you need are injections this could be the right place for you but if your condition is at all complex, you really should keep searching for a doctor who can address complexity. I also agree with the one other review about the office staff. Perhaps they need more help or better training because they really are very nice in person but forget about speaking with anyone via a phone call.”

“I was referred to Dr. Wang from my surgeon who did my fusion back in 2014 and then last September 2018 I was hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian, I was given pain blocker 2 times with successful results and waiting for a 3rd appointment to get the nerves rf ablated. and now I am unable to get any kind of successful answers on why I have been waiting over 6 months for this, I have been in pain for most of them. I have been leaving emails voice mails for months and every 3 or 4th week I will be able to get ahold of somebody and they are usually very nice to tell me how they are going to get some kind of answer for me, but them I am left to sit in pain for longer with no return calls emails or answering of my calls, I have been missing days off of work. the office has completely dropped the ball with me.”
