National Spine & Pain Centers - Fayetteville - Pain Management in Fayetteville, North Carolina

“0 stars out of 5. Go elsewhere. My last appt with Dr Viji Shankar was 12-23. I went for chronic back pain and treatment fibromyalgia. My first visit, the Dr spoke very fast and quickly dismissed what I told her. I told her that I had steroids psychosis prior and I didn't want steroid injections. She told me that was rare and scheduled me for a diagnostic test with steroids. The test was uneventful on my part. The alternate side was done a few weeks later on Dec of 23. As she numbed the area, I felt each shot. Horrible pain. I told her I felt that and it was painful, she told me to relax. As she proceeded with the injections, I told her I wasn't numb. She didn't stop. Just relax she told me. I cried out in pain and was sobbing. Her assistant apologized. I asked the assistant if the Dr could prescribe something for pain. She said she prescribed patches but I never got them. I had left 5 messages using the Patient Portal. I was told by their office that don't use the Patient Portal. Why would I go to ANYONE that I would pay to treat me like this.”

“Of I could leave 0 or negative stars I would have. I'm 65, in a wheelchair, have lung cancer that I'm not going to have treatment for and have had heart bypass surgery. This woman wouldn't give me meds without knee shots I've already tried or burning my nerves off in my knees. She couldn't speak enough English so that I could understand her but my wife was able to make out most if it. I do not recommend this place for anything except making sure they get their money”

“Nice staff worker's but the doctor she speaks to fast and barley understand what she's saying and if you have a question good luck if you get to ask it because she doesn't give you a chance to ask her anything, I had went there to get injections three times and nothing worked so I was referred to a surgeon by them couldn't get ahold of them so I called back to the so I called this place back and asked to get referred to my suggested surgeon and it's been a month since I've asked them to do that and nothing , I've been trying to call them every day and ask why they haven't sent my paperwork to the surgeon and yet they have answered the phone. I'm very very very very unhappy with them right I'm in so much pain and I just want some kind of relief so y'all do better!!”

“2022 was the worst summer of my life. I never knew that pain could be that bad. I had never heard of NSPC. I just went to the same office where my mother had her pain issues treated years prior. Her doctor wasn't there anymore, but Dr Shankar and Noli were. I was in too much pain to be picky. They did right by me”
