Dwight Ligham, MD - ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC PAIN TREATMENT CENTERS

I simply do not understand the negative reviews for Dr. Ligham and the staff at his clinic. The first day I went in he spent over an hour listening to me and really caring to make suggestions and take into account what I wanted. He met me with an urgent consult to make sure that his office notes supported what my insurance needed to approve a therapy just because he believed it would help me. He has offered to manage my meds or allow my current doctor to do so and even recommended medical marijuana to improve my quality of life. He also has responded to my emails with questions very promptly. Additionally, Brittany, his prior-authorization helper has gone out of her way to help me achieve a chance at the procedure I will try on Saturday. Really, be honest and open and he will listen and help you.

I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with doctors dismissing my pain or shunting me off to different specialists. My past experience made me incredibly nervous to see a pain specialist, but as soon as I met with Dr. Ligham for the first time I relaxed. He didn’t judge me for having pain, didn’t get frustrated with me when he couldn’t easily parse out which of my conditions was the cause. Instead, he carefully examined me, asked thoughtful questions, and took my pain seriously. Over the last two years in his care, I have been treated so well by him and his staff. He has tried out multiple treatments, taken my desire for conservative management into consideration.

Dr. Ligham was like a breath of fresh air, such a great bedside manner. He took his time and gave me a full body exam, pinpointing where exactly my pain was.
