I was referred here by my rheumatologist. I was nervous about seeing a pain doctor because as an RN I've seen too many patients given opiates instead of alternative methods of pain control by pain doctors.
I was seen by Dr. Heaton and after thoroughly discussing all options for my pain relief we agreed on a medication to help my fibro pain. He also encouraged me to join their fibro group for alternative ways to help relieve pain.
This place isn't about dumping meds on you. It's about helping you regain control of your life by many different methods. They want you to be active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
It is such a relief to have a doctor LISTEN to me as well as discuss various methods of pain management.
