WILLIAM LONGTON, MD REVIEWS

I have been seeing Dr. Longton for my lower back pain and I’ve been very pleased with his care. He took the necessary time to thoroughly go over my history while also providing professional and compassionate care each time I see him. He genuinely takes interest in you and has a wonderful and fun personality. He’s a great dr and so is his staff.

Dr Longton and his staff are amazing. I often tell people he saved my life. He is a caring and skilled partner in my pain management. I have referred friends and family to the PMC practice.

Dr. Longton has provided quality care with compassion. It has been a long journey with respect to pain management for my mom. We are happy that we finally were referred to the Pain Medicine Consultants office.

RUBEN KALRA, MD REVIEWS

I have known Dr. Kalra for about 10 years and in that time he has done everything to help me manage my chronic pain. I would not go to anybody else. He is more than highly recommended. He is also a great human being on top of an excellent physician. Do not hesitate to make an appointment with him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kalra’s for about 15 years. I also see Beth, a PA for routine visits. I really appreciate the care, professionalism, courtesy, and the extra care the entire staff extends regularly and more importantly, when a special need arises and I can always count on PMC to meet my needs. I have, and will continue to refer family and friends to PMC, knowing they will be in the best of care.

My 3 visits with Dr. Kalra focused on pre treatment, treatment and after treatment evaluation. I found the concern with my condition was very positive. The staff treated me with concern for my deafness, My hearing was not improved due to all having to wear masks. Everyone made sure I heard and understood the instruction. Thank you all.

RICHARD C. SHINAMAN, MD REVIEWS

I can’t say enough good things about my pain management doctor. He truly listens, takes the time to understand what I’m experiencing, and treats me like a person — not just a chart. He is incredibly personable, compassionate, and thoughtful in every visit. He is the only doctor who has been able to genuinely relieve my pain, and what makes him even more exceptional is that he also focuses on my long-term health, not just short-term fixes. I never feel rushed or dismissed — I feel heard and cared for. If you are looking for a doctor who combines real expertise with true compassion, I highly recommend him.

Dr. Shinaman significantly reduced my neck pain so much so I decided to hold off on scheduling surgery. He listened to where I was having pain and developed a very creative/innovative monthly treatment plan along with prescribing necessary daily medications. As a result, my pain reduced to a manageable level and my quality of life has much improved. I would highly recommend Dr. Richard Shinaman and the Pain Medicine Consultant team.

Amazing physician. He has advocated for me and helped me tremendously through this year with two major pain issues. One of the only doctors i trust and would recommend to anyone struggling with chronic pain.
