Michael J. DePalma, MD - Pain Management in Richmond, Virginia

“I just had my second set of shots today. While I am not sure if these shots are going to solve my back problems, I feel confident in the staff there, especially Dr. DePalmer. He is very determined to get the shot in the right place, mixes his medicine according to my specific needs, and is very attentive to my experiencing discomfort during the procedure. He asks me if I am feeling pain every few minutes! I asked him several questions today, and he took a lot of time answering and explaining. I am pleased with the I- Spine Clinic. I know they are trying to help me. They are professionals.”

“I have been in pain for 4 months. My first visit I was seen for a very short exam. I was taking physical therapy so they told me to come back in 3 weeks. At that time I saw another doctor and was told about the process for shots. I had an appointment set up for three weeks later. All this time I am in severe pain. They do not do pain meds and an office staff person told me if I wanted pain meds to get another doctor. Thank heavens Dr. Placides office helped out there. Three weeks later, first shot no change. Next scheduled time 3 weeks later to "try again". I managed to get my appointment a week earlier by calling my insurance to expedite my claim. It was in the afternoon and I had to bring my 8 year old great nephew and they refused to see me. They don't care about me or my constant pain. They would not let me take him to his aunt's and come back because my appointment was in "8 minutes". When I complained about their unwillingness to help me, they asked me to leave. If you want a doctor and staff that are too busy for you and DO NOT CARE about you, see him!”

“Surprised this Dr. is still practicing. That being said, if a dr. is not helping a patient, refer to another practice don't throw away a patient. Wait isn't there a clause stating do no harm. This Dr. said I had no business there, said there was nothing wrong with me. I would imagine that some cases can be difficult to determine, but to not even try. I was not there to waste anybodies time or money , much less my own. Honestly some of the replies from the practice are nothing but empty. When a patient is in pain they need some kind of help, please don't forget the reason a patient is there.”

“I came there to do a study. First day was okay then they called me back to office cause they said I needed to do blood work again cause they let it sit around to long . Then went for MRI they called and told me then I was not a fit for there study that my discs where to close together then told me I have a heart aneurysm but they want prove Iit are send records to my primary doctor so this place is a joke don't ever go there”
