Babak Arvanaghi, MD - PAIN MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE

For a year I suffered from severe back pain. My orthopedic surgeon put me on medication and kept sending me to PT but it made things worse. Then steps in Dr. Arvanaghi. At my consult he spent a lot of time with me reviewing my scan and x-rays ( no other doctor did that) he explained my problem. He also referred me to another doctor for a second opinion ( which was great too). They worked as a team to come up with a game plan. I had my first treatment and am feeling much better. Dr. A is not only an excellent doctor he is very caring and kind. Explaining things and making sure I was ok. I feel now I have the right team getting me back to recovery.

For years I suffered with chronic back pain, due to severe spinal stenosis and arthritis. I tried various types of modalities and practitioners in an effort to avoid surgery. Last year my internist recommended Dr. Arvanaghi. I was skeptical at first, as I’d had other injections in the past, with limited effect. The first few attempts brought only temporary or slight relief, but Dr. Arvanaghi was confident that he could succeed where others had not. Finally, with the help of a new MRI, he was able to pinpoint and treat the precise location causing most of my pain. I feel like I’ve been reborn. I can walk more than a block again, without having to stop and sit down. I can be on my feet for more than 5 minutes at a time. In short, I can engage again with life. I have resumed traveling, walking for exercise, and socializing — things that my back has prevented me from doing for the past several years. I am boundlessly grateful to Dr. Arvanaghi.

I've had a lifetime of back issues and procedures done and have encountered some wonderful care along the way. Dr. Arvanaghi is the BEST pain management specialist I've ever had. He could not be more comforting, kind, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Arvanaghi and his team are outstanding.
