National Pain Institute

I have been a patient of Dr. Villalobos for seven years and thanks to him I have been able to stay working for this length of time. Dr. Villalobos is the most compassionate and understanding doctor I've ever been to. He listens to you and spends time with you and not many doctors do this these days. I recommend him highly.

Head Dr (Salinas) is very cruel and rations medications to the point they are ineffective. Other Drs. (such as Dr Ortega) is very good and does care about and spends much time with patients and is very careful to get an accurate medical history to provide the best possible treatment. However The head Dr will not allow most effective medications to be prescribed. They do not care how much pain you are suffering. They push various expensive steroid injections that are known to give no long term pain relief and are actually harmful long term. I would avoid if you have serious pain. If you have only mild problems Dr. Ortega would be the best choice. She actually does care about the patients.
