Even if we are just going in for a refill on medication the PA will sit there for an hour if we need to ask questions or discuss anything. My husband has been to about 8 different pain doctors now and we will not leave Matrix. When we go for appointments we never wait more than about 15 minutes to be seen from walking in the door, they really care about you, want to get you out of pain and make you comfortable. They also do the blocks there and they do the stimulator implant which we are fighting with work comp over and is another story all together *sigh*.
So if you need a pain dr for your rsd or crps please check them out. I just cant thank them enough for what theyve done for my husband. He has severe RSD in his right foot and ankle. He is on a pain level of 8 even on his meds. Every dr he has been seen by has said that he has the worse case of RSD theyve ever seen and Dr Papenfuse says in all his years of working with RSD has never seen such a severe case. By the way Dr Papenfuse also instructs other dr's and surgeons how to do spinal blocks and implants. He is one of the top 10 neurologists in the country. I would never recommend any dr if we werent totally trusting and comfortable with that dr. So I hope this helps someone, good luck!
