Tennessee Valley Pain Management - Pain Management in Cleveland, Tennessee

“Worst experience I've had at a pain management. Definitely felt like I was targeted as a druggie. I already get pain medicine and was swapped to this clinic. They lied saying they don't prescribe narcotics. Not once did I ask for narcotics I've already been being prescribed them wouldn't prescribed my medicine. Now going cold turkey without any medicine. Worst clinic ever.”

“I have been going here for several years after a bad car accident. The staff here are excellent. For the most part, They are kind and courteous, which you don't find everywhere. Dr Dreskin is extremely knowledgeable and very in tune with his patients. Hannah is laid back and very approachable. No doctor visit is easy, but they do try to help make it easier on their patients .”

“If you're looking for a doctor you can discuss pain options with, THIS IS NOT IT! Dr Dreskin spends no time with patients, refused to discuss the questions I had about various medications, and basically told me I had a choice between Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. I never wanted narcotics! I wanted a doctor to help me find the right medication for me with minimal side effects. The staff, on the other hand is a pleasure. I've heard good things about Dr Bajwa at the other location in Chattanooga. Go there instead.”

“I had been looking for a good clinic and was referred by some friends that said it was good. I read the review and it sounded like a mixed bag. Being a disabled veteran I was looking for help outside the VA. My first visit seemed promising and that there maybe some options that the VA just chooses not to do, and Dresken seemed to care. It quickly changed less then an hour after that apt. There were several issues with MRI Apts, they were suppose to be a week later. Due to people not knowing the VA insurance they got pushed out a month. I tried to reach out about trying to get a better apt cause of the level of pain that I am. I was called by Dresken and all I got was him telling me all of his problems, while down playing my issues. Being the patient the "DR." shouldn't be down playing or comparing himself to another patient. It finally came to my next apt for treatment options, my only option where injections. There was no other optioned offered, and he didn't even ask if maybe there was anything I would want to try before we go straight into injections .Dresken only seems interested in selling the latest and "greatest" big pharma push. So it didn't surprise me when on the very first visit he asked me about Gabapentin. If you are some one who reads reviews and says I'll make my own choice, please do you thing. I didn't listen to the warnings and now I'm back to square 1. Waste of time.”
