Mariano Dean J DO - Pain Management in Meriden, Connecticut

“I was treated in 2010 by Dr. Mariano for lower back pain from an old discectomy at L5/S1with only limited success. He put me through his usual series of facet and joint injections (about a dozen shots) which relieved some pain but not the clawing and severe sciatic to my foot that I originally walked in with. After giving up on him, I found a new pain mngmt doctor at UCONN Health who solved the pain COMPLETELY with two fast injections straight into the discs at L5 and L4. PAIN FREE in lower back and foot ever since! Dr. Mariano's practice is now overrun with too many patients, long appointment waits including horrible waiting room waits and an appointment scheduler who prefers to leave you one voice mail a day and documents that she did her job, but never answers live and you could wait three weeks playing voice mail tag just trying to get a call to get the appointment, especially now b/c they require referral forms first from previous physician. INSANITY at this practice....wish I could give a zero rating!”

“This guy is top notch. I had been going to another pain management in Plainville, Ct. who never listened to me and was unsuccessful in relieving my discomfort. Dr. Mariano listened and treated my symptoms. I will always recommend him. Sincerely, pleased with his services. He helped me avoid back surgery.”

“Had series of facet and joint injects that worked wonderfully! Previously had injection in right hip which was terrifically painful. They had put freezing in syringe with steroid and freezing did not work that way!”
