Specialty Spine & Pain - New Holland - Pain Management in Gainesville, Georgia

“Dr Advear is a great doctor who seems,so far, to be very supportive & concerned about helping you with getting your pain issues under control as best as possible...(only been patient for 4 months now & anyone with true pain knows that you can have your pain controlled but it will never be 100% pain free all the time!) He helps you to figure out all the different kinds of treatment processes to help you to be as pain free as he possibly can. If you have to use opioid or other types of pain medications, then he is very helpful at deciding which is best for your conditions & helping to keep you safe with whichever is finally decided upon. The people in the front are always helpful & courteous with any questions or concerns you may have. My nurse has always been great also. The only issues I've had is when you need to speak with nurse on phone, it can sometimes be a hassle. Example: I've had nurse call me back but have to leave me voicemail to call her back ASAP & when calling back, only to be sent to her voicemail & have to wait ALL day for another call back or even it being next day before being able to speak with her. But other than that, I've had great overall experience since becoming patient last November 2020. I would recommend this pain management clinic/Doctors to any & all who were looking for a pain management or just needing a new one to be able to get better help with their pain issues to help to better get them under control!!!”

“I had my first appointment at Specialty Spine & Pain this week with Dr. Alvear. It had take n me a month to get the paperwork from my previous practice to be accepted and I was feeling less than confident that I would be happy. I had to make a change, however, due to my move. Dr. Alvear put me at ease immediately. He is kind, understanding, and very friendly. He thoroughly explained the cause of the new pain and described his plan of action. I can't imagine a better experience. The staff members I encountered were friendly and efficient. I was only there for just over an hour, and most of that time was spent with the doctor or his assistant. I am very hopeful that my upcoming procedure will bring pain relief, and I am confident that I will receive excellent care.”

“I have been a patient for 12 years. I came to them with excruciating back pain that prevented me from standing up straight. I had severe muscle spasms and was so stiff and sore that i was chronically exhausted from it. My pain is managed. I stand up straight. The stiffness and soreness no longer rule my life. They are a team of providers that consistently gives quality care so their patients can have good lives. The best possible care!”
