Damien K. Tavares, MD - HAWAII PAIN CENTER

I’ve got doctors for it ALL and this guy is my FAVORITE! I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s the absolute best at what he does. When I hear people complain they’re in pain, I literally want to put them in my car and show up at his office. He does it all - you don’t even have to go anywhere. All the appointments, injections, and nerve procedures are done right there in his office. I don’t even research or google anymore what he’s suggesting I have done because I trust him 100% and Know he’s done all the research and tried every technique. I had a few back surgeries, countless epidurals, nerve ablation and now a spinal cord stimulator. I have gone from a 9-10 pain level daily to NOTHING - NO PAIN!!! It’s incredible! I hike Diamond Head now, go to Zumba, swim, ride bikes and walk my dogs for miles. I kiss the ground Dr. Tavares walks on. He’s the king of pain management. I’ve had a lot of doctors but this one actually wants his patients to get better and feel good. If you’re reading this and need pain management, pray to God you can get into his office and he’ll take you. If not, you’re screwed - ha!

He is my favourite doctor I have ever had, and I’ve had doctors all over the United States and internationally. As other reviews have said, he has awesome bedside manner. I came to him years after being diagnosed and he was the first doctor to not rush through my visit and to take time to explain what was happening to me. He has been an answer to prayer. We also love the staff. They make visits so comfortable and fun. My husband and I love them so much and are so grateful for Dr. Tavares.

Dr Tavares is a consumate professional who has an exceptional ability to listen and understand your medical needs. He made me feel comfortable immediately and was able to diagnose my medical problem in a matter of minutes. He and his Assistant Dr Brewer are an exceptional team and I feel confident my medical condition will improve in a very short period of time!
