Texas Pain Institute - Pain Management in Denton, Texas

“I have been to many doctors of all professions and in my own opinion Dr Alvarado is a great Dr he listens to me he always treats me with respect and kindness I usually only wait 5 min most times and at most only 15 min now that's a lot due to the office staff scheduling patients correctly as I have been to some doctors whom I've literally waited from 1pm to 6pm to only be seen basically in glancing. There's always plenty of parking and the offices and rest rooms are very clean. It sounds to me like most of these other reviewers must have went in the wrong entrance lol. Thank you all Dr Alvarado and staff.”

“I have been going to the Texas Pain Institute for 3 years now. My first Doctor was Dr. Alvarado, he left for Arizona. Although Dr. Alvarado was my first pain doctor that really helped me when he left Dr. Aggrawal (the head doctor became my new pain advisor and pain doctor.) I was nervous at first, now he has also become one of my favorite pain doctors. (I have had pain doctors since 2011) I would recommend Texas Pain Institute. New update: September 9, 2024 -- this office was one of the best! Now trying to get an appointment in Denton is like pulling teeth. Also, there has been a problem with my prior authorization of medicine (That I had for years) and cannot get a hold of anyone to call us back or help us. I assume the only way to get help is to go to whatever location the office people are that day. I don't know what to do anymore. The government rulings about chronic pain have become the maze of mazes.”

“If I could give less than a 1 star I would. I went to Dr A for about 5 years and then they hired Christopher Humphrey. From the moment I met him he was argumentative told me that I looked "worried" without even introducing himself. Talks down to women. He seems to be a very very unhappy person. Warning - this PA will make sure that you are no longer able to see a pain management doctor again. Be aware and stay away from Christopher Humphrey. They will make up lies saying that your urine test are negative so they can no longer treat you. He has no concern or care about an individual being in chronic pain.”

“I have to say that after all the pain doctors I have seen through the years Dr. Alvarado has been the best most professional understanding and compassionate dr I have seen. He actually explains the whole situation to where you can understand the treatment he is wanting to go with. He won't push surgery on you unless it is the last option. I've been seeing him for the last 5 yrs and he has done more to help control my pain including placing a spinal cord stimulator in and finally had me on the right medication to help control the pain. I also have to say that he was so very compassionate and caring when I was diagnosed with cancer and he totally would work with me if I couldn't come in due to being so sick from the chemo he would work with me and let me come in when I was feeling good enough to come in for my follow ups. We need more drs like him but it's sad to say he has left the TPI office and he will be surely missed. The new dr that came in isn't as caring or understanding of my situation and is very rude and doesn't take time to explain or even listen to your concerns on certain issues you may be having. Unfortunately now I have been forced to find a new dr due to they informed me that they do not take my insurance as of 2yrs ago but yet they've been seeing me with no problems until yesterday and the new staff in front were extremely rude and wouldn't even help me with suggesting how to be able to help me in what to do to continue being able to see them, or what I could do to find a new dr. They just said you will not be seen again there and basically don't try to go through them for anything. Nothing like feeling helpless and being thrown out to the wolves! I most definitely will not recommend this office to any of my friends that need a professional dr to help with their pain. Now I'm stuck with no pain management routine and stuck with a stimulator in my back with no chance of getting help with it anymore. Very disappointed in how fast this office has gone downhill in the last couple of months! Good luck to anyone who can actually get the help they need from them. I gave a five star rating while Dr. Alvarado was there, but now in my opinion I would give it a 2!”
