JOHN M. DOWNEY SR, DO REVIEWS

I thank God for Dr. Downey every day! He has been my pain management doctor for over 15 years. Without him I would have been bedridden years ago. I have several inoperable spine conditions causing severe pain. Because of Dr. Downey I have mobility and less pain. He and his staff are very friendly and caring. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Everyone in the office is always sweet and kind. They are smart, helpful, and quite knowledgeable. Dr. Downey really knows his business and his PA's (if that's their titles) are wonderful, especially considering we all come to the office expressing our pain details. I enjoy interacting with the employees in the office as well as the doctor himself.

I’m been going to Dr.downey for a very long time, he a great and wonderful doctor and the staff are amazing.

RICHARD S. EPTER, MD REVIEWS

This place has been amazing. I have lived with pain for the past 15 yrs. After my 2nd injection, I felt like a brand new person. I had relief almost as if I had never had any issues. I can't say enough great things about the Dr Eptar and his staff.

After being told by another physician that “surgery is the only option”, Dr. Epter relieved my Carpal tunnel syndrome pain with a few injections that have lasted over 10 years. I’m grateful I did not have to have surgery. The staff I interacted with was professional, kind and efficient. I often recommend Dr. Epter for people with chronic pain. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Following an ACL graft in my knee I had constant nagging pain. I went to Dr. Epter and he suggested a Platelet Rich Plasma injection (PRP). All it took was 1 injection and I’ve been pain free for over 5 years.

Dr Epter and his staff are awesome. If you are in pain I recommend them. They have helped me ,my husband and my mother.

SHAHNAZ BARI, MD REVIEWS

Totally awesome, extremely knowledgeable and caring doctor! Many degrees, pleasant and highly recommended by other doctors and hospitals. Been going to her for years as well as some of my friends. There is not another doctor like her.

Was fortunate to discover Dr. Bari after years of care with other Pain Management Specialists which were essentially "pill pushers." Dr. Bari correctly diagnosed my condition and administered direct treatment to each level of my back causing pain. Received a series of epidural injections which were expertly delivered and most importantly effective at combating major areas of pain. The other providers and office staff are top rate. I highly recommend Dr. Bari.

Dr. Bari has amazing bed-side manners. She is very compassionate and an excellent pain management physician! Highly Recommended.
