Satisfied

Julie is a sweet, caring person. She explains things very well and takes the time to listen to any problems you may have..

Very professional experience

Ms Julie always addresses my concerns and issues. She strives to make me as comfortable and she can. She orders test to see where the problem can be. She is genuinely caring person.

She's very kind and polite and explained everything to me. That's what I need to know. Thank you

One of the best doctors in town! She listens very well and she cares about her patients.

Very nice people.

Great staff! Everyone works together to provide the best possible care.

The best care I've had in a very long time.. Mrs. Julie Stein and all the care members in the office are amazing. Julie listens and actually cares.. I'm grateful for her

Julie Stein was patient and kind and very upfront and patient and explained the procedures and put me at ease I would recommend new patients to see her

good morning. Chelsea Dalton. and staff, they are very experienced and helpful in making my appointments and meeting my upcoming needs in my health endeavors. I commend them and recommend them to others. Thank you as well as Dr. Ho and staff.

Nice guy.

Chelsea is a very caring person. Kind and understanding of her patients.

A little hard to understand sometimes but willing to listen and make sure you understand

he was great just like everybody there is , they really are a step above

Really feels like she cares about her patience

DNP Varner is a vindictive, unresponsive and unprofessional staff. We need the Dr back. She only cares about herself, not the patient.

The staff was kind, listened to my concerns, and helped me feel calm.

As always Dr Shabandar was great. Gentle touch, very personable and knowledgeable. He and his staff answer all of your questions and they all take the time to explain everything before and after procedure. I wish I didn’t have to undergo the procedure but, chronic LBP has been part of my life for years. When other procedures such as chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture..quit helping you have to do something to try and obtain some relief.

she is so helpful takes good care of me.. TKY

Chelsea always looks at how she can help me reduce the pain in my back. Hopefully we’ve come up with a solution that will give me some longer-term relief. She listens to my concerns and allows me to give my feedback.

she is very helpful to me

She was good person to me

Ms Dalton is a very nice lady who tries to help you with your Medical issues. She is easy to talk to and listens to you.

Dr. Kersey was very nice i have severe anxiety due to a operation went wrong prior in my life and she was very understanding and compassionate she explained everything and didn't seem to dismiss my anxiety as other doctors sometimes do. I am looking forward to seeing the end result of my lumpy veins when she's finished..

Always a pleasure to see Chelsea Dalton,NP! She always asks how I am doing and feeling and she asks if there is anything she can do to help me!

Katina Varner is very helpful whatever the problem is she gets to the bottom of it Thank you

was able to get me in and out quickly and take care of all my concern

Always listening to my issues and took the time to figure out what was going on with my legs and the pain I'm having.

Chelsea was very professional & friendly as always. She’s also a good listener and cares about the patient.

Chelsea is a great asset to this clinical practice. She is kind and caring. She listens and understands what is being discussed. It’s been a pleasure getting to know her.

The information provided on the review of the MRI of my right shoulder was more comprehensive than the original providers. THANK YOU for the review

Christy Kersey, NP is an excellent medical provider. She is very competent and thorough. She answered all my questions concerning my vein procedures. I will definitely come back to her if I have any further vein issues. Thank you Christy!

Excellent care, clear communications I have been seeing this specialist for many years and she's always done a great job, has great bedside manner and I'm always happy with the results

My experience with Chelsea was great. I enjoyed talking to her about my pain. I wish they would have had this system sooner, back in 2018.

He came into the office, did not even introduce himself. Just started in on me because I have three decades of taking the same medication. It's not a joke to me. It's my life told me what he wanted and walked out. That was it

Chelsea was very professional and informative on explaining a treatment plan to help reduce my pain moving forward.

Hands down “THE BEST PAIN DOCTOR” he really cares about his patients with every ounce of his being.

I will never return. Lack of communication between nurse practitioner and patient is very disappointing. I have never been treated so poorly and a doctor's office. The nurse practitioner had absolutely no compassion and very rude. I have never left a doctor's office feeling like I was accused of using my medicine wrong . I was denied my medication refill, a medication that helped with the pain in my lower back. Not only did I rely on this medication to help with my pain in my back but also with my hip replacements, arthritis in both of my wrists from being broken. I will never go to another younger doctor or nurse practitioner. The only doctors that I will see from now on will be much more knowledgeable, compassionate, and willl sit and listen to you. I was being nice when I even gave the nurse practitioner one star!

Caring and professional

The best pain control doctor ever very kind person and always put the patient needs first she cares about the patient

I absolutely love Hanifa and staff! Very friendly and kind. Hanifa takes her time and explains everything in full detail so that you understand test results, future procedures, appts, everything. She's AMAZING! I'm so happy my PCP referred me to her.

Good Follow up

Very good visit

Caring and compassion

This is not first time seeing her.i only have meds for 7 days know in that office can tell you anything.and give you appointment to come in than you make it to your appointment you are not doing it this office it's all messed there I don't think the Doctor knows about anything going on

Personalized, attentive, courteous care. She listens and helps with the whole problem not just pain but health care. Would definitely recommend

Always patient, always provides information regarding treatment options, always exudes professionalism and competence.

Julie Stein is an exceptional healthcare provider. She takes the time to listen attentively to every detail and shows genuine concern for your pain and overall well-being. Her approach is both compassionate and thorough, always focused on identifying the root of the issue and working toward meaningful relief. Julie is hands-on, attentive, and never makes you feel like just another number. Her personalized care and dedication are exactly what I was looking for in a NP, and I’m truly grateful for her support.

NP Stein... THE BEST

Just very professional caring staff

I was pleased with my care

Enjoyed my office visit with the nurse practitioner. Very thorough discussion two way discussion between client & practitioner; caring & professional; very knowledgeable person

This was my first experience with Dr HO. My wife has received injections from him and has always been very pleased. I concur. He was gentle, quick while putting me at ease. He was also very personable. I normally receive my injections from Dr. Shabandar. They are both great. I highly recommend them both.

I have only met Hanifa Waarith NP twice. In those visits I felt like I was really being listened too. She takes time to help with your pain. She makes suggestions for options to relieve pain. Thank you.

Chealsea is Excellent!!! She listens to symptoms, results and problems encountered. She is also well versed on upcoming and new modalities of treatment. She explaines the new procedures and provides Take Home information to review. I have seen her multiple times and trust her advice and knowledge completely. She is a benifit to the Clinic.

GOOD JOB

Awesome

Always listens and gives the best advice and treatments. I’ve been going here for years and can’t complain. Thank you to the entire staff

Very good experience with Dr. Ho. He has a very good & kind bedside manner. He answers any & all questions. Plus,. He is a M.D, and is very informed. I suffer from chronic pain and have had several treatments, but Dr. HO IS THE BEST!. I am grateful for the relief! Thank you Dr. Ho

My nurse practitioner, Julie Stein is not only kind, attentive, and professional, but also very cautious and thorough in her approach.

Great as always

Christy, has always treated me with respect, she cares about my health number one, she is truly a professional

Ms Velasco is a very great doctor or NP in my opinion DR she very good in what she do when it comes to her patients she very understanding and caring about her patients she going keep coming with solution to solve our issues as patient. I’m a witness to that I don’t have multiple procedures and multiple treatments and I can say from when I first went to see her editing go well because we had ultrasound from a different office where I went to, so she decided to do her own ultrasounds and then once she got those back, we started my procedures we starter my treatments and my legs have got somewhat better than what they have when I first started and for her to be a nurse practitioner she have a lot of knowledge she really care’s for her patience. That’s what I see every Time I see her if it’s in the office for a follow up or if it’s my procedure day she’s gonna always make sure that you’re comfortable while she’s doing the procedure on you. That’s one thing I like about her. She made sure that her patient is comfortable when she get ready to do her procedure procedures on our veins.

Always have a smile great conversation bout my health gets things done fast she’s the bomb

I had a nice experience and told her what was bothering me. I also mentioned I had pain in my right hip. I looked at my appointments for injections and it said injection on left hip. It’s the right hip. Thank you

She’s awesome. Very easy to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a pain management Dr

Julie was professional and very helpful

Christy is very friendly easy to talk to very knowledgable and a really sweet and caring person

Took time to go over everything. Very respectful, & listen to my concern.

Suffered back pain for almost another year. The entire staff at Munster Pain and Vein have been great. I am very lucky to have had her as a NP, and hopefully, I won't need to go back her for another year. (I was pain free for a year after seeing last time.)

Awesome

Chelsea has always been knowledgeable and explains procedure very frienly and pleasant

I truly liked her and she listens and understands her patients needs for comfort. I’m happy with her

Chelsea was very Knowledgeable And she made me feel comfortable And informed With my situation

Very professional explains your problem to your self better.

Good visit!

good as usual

I was very disappointed that I was promised pain medication for my lower back and that it would be sent in to my pharmacy for pick up in the evening. It’s over a day later and the pharmacy hasn’t received the prescription. I went to discuss interim medication to hold me over while my pain pump was removed. I’m very disappointed that I was asked several times about having an electrical spinal stimulator implanted instead of my pain pump. I said I wasn’t interested based on comments from people that had it and she asked again. The plan is have my pain pump moved to the opposite side as soon as I heal from the removal.

She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Made me very comfortable. Extreme satisfied with her. Highly recommend.

Great and informative

I have been Katina's patient for some years now ,she has always listened to my concerns regarding my care and has always come up with a plan of care for the issues that I have. I have been very pleased with her.

Chelsea is just wonderful. Shows so much care to help me find some relief for my pain. Explains every option available to me and what would be the best treatment plan to help me live an active life without suffering in pain.

I have severe anxiety. Every time I go to CPC I feel calm and confident. The staff is exceptional. I have never had a bad experience. Chelsea doesn’t make you feel like a number. She takes the time to address all of your problems and then discusses treatment options. Today was no different. Another perfect doctors visit.

Listened to my concerns and addressed them.

Highly recommend place to go and NP to see

I really can't make a true assessment of you in one visit, but I was confident that you will learn what certain procedures would truly be beneficial to your patients as you know them.

Ms Stein goes above and beyond to help with my pain management. I recommend her for her expertise.

Julie is a thoughtful professional that listens to your needs with a deep concern for your pain. She will diagnose and treat some of the most stubborn shoulder to sciatica-symptoms you might be experiencing. I recommend you to give her and the unbelievable staff of doctors a shot and see for yourself.

Chelsea is a kind and caring NP. She is very sufficient and stays up to date on my health. I feel very comfortable with her and would recommend er to anyone.

Julie has always been very attentive to mine and my husband's needs. We trust her judgement. She has not failed us yet. She has helped us lead a less painful life. Thank you Julie

i was treated very well.dr.Ho came and talked to me before anything was done. he was polite and relaxed me.

I absolutely love coming here. The communication is amazing. Chelsea hands down is the best. Provided me with different options when I thought nothing else was able to be done with my injury.

She's always asking how I'm doing I have shoulder problems, and I trust her when I need help I know who to talk to. Eddie Cortes

Listens to everything I have to say.

Julie is a wonderful NP. She takes the time to listen closely to what my concerns are. She explains all procedures, and she advises me about my medication and other issues regarding my health. I'm completely happy having her as my provider.

Really nice and goes over med history really well

Chelsey is awesome and I love that she pays attention to every detail in your chart. Love her continue to do what you do. Thank you for being the best

She's so kind and very patient with me and takes her time. I love her very much and she's very beautiful.

Mrs Stein always listens to me and definitely makes me feel heard. If I have a concern she does her best to help me find a solution. I appreciate her care and the team she has behind her. Would definitely recommend Mrs Stein.

Listens and is understanding and very caring

Absolutely worst place, completely unprofessional. I was waiting 40 minutes, I asked how much longer and the nurse gave me a nasty look and said your next but if you have to go then reschedule. The nurse had real bad attitude. The surgery place was a dump. The chairs were beat to hell. They are not putting any money into practice. My first appointment amout 2 months ago. a bunch of court reporters were walking in. Obviously someone was suing the practice. Like a said the place is a dump with employees that have bad attitudes. Caution, stay away.

She is always prepared meaning she’s read your file before you see her she’s not afraid to send you for the scans and tests you need I’m super happy with her for a long time I felt I wasn’t being listened to but with her I always know my care will be great

She is very pleasant and answers any questions I have

I had leg ablations on both legs, front and back. I no longer have muscle cramps or extreme leg pain. I'm no longer waking up every hour with extreme leg pain. Im able to walk without pain. Christy and the staff at CPC and Vein are amazing. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you Christy. Bryan Durham.

Julie is always great

Great

Chelsea was friendly and prompt. She explained test results and gave the option of deciding which was better for me, no pressure.

Service provided was excellent.

Chelsea is always polite and listens to you! I would recommend her to anyone!!

My experience was great. I’m glad I’m finally getting help. And getting rid The pain in my legs. Thank you very much

Chelsea Dalton NP took care of the prescriptions i needed for major lumbar surgery on my back, after the hospital, surgeon and Primary Care Physician released me with 2 days of medication on a Friday after 5pm. When I got a hold of my doctor and surgeon they told me to go to pain management. 3 days later I went to Center for Pain Control in Hobart for appointment. This was the first available opening. I was in alot pain. Chelsea Dalton read my discharge papers from the hospital and listened to me. She responded with appropriate prescriptions, Chelsea Dalton had good bedside manners. I highly recommend her.

I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who suffers with pain. She listens and takes steps necessary to help. Friendly and professional. So grateful I found her!

Chelsea Dalton NP in my opinion is great! Listens to my concerns and tries to answer my concerns so I can understand what needs to be done. As busy as she is she still takes time to answer all my questions. I have complete confidence in her and I believe she has my best interest at heart.

Chelsea is great she explans everything very well .and very helpful .at all times

I absolutely love Julie, she actually looks at my back and presses and has me laid down to twist to check for pain, whereas my old pain clinic just scheduled procedures. She also listens and gives me options suitable for my condition.

Very caring and helpful. She helped get me approved for the spinal stimulator trial quickly. I hope it works then I can get it implanted. Thank you.

Very good and concerned. Thank you very much. Everyone is very nice and friendly.

Chelsea listened and was informative.

Christy Kersey is an expert at what she does. I have been under her care for 6 years and she is one of the kindest, most attentive practitioner I have ever met. She listens to all of my concerns and explains all of my options in detail. Christy is open to all questions and deeply cares for all of her patients. She loves what she does and is a true professional.

Very nice. Excellence appointment

Quick professional, easy

Julie Stein is great I would refer her to anyone

To reiterate, because my last review might not been understood. My oncologist (my referring Dr) had to give me something to help me somewhat because katina didn't send in a different extended release medication that my insurance would cover after the first one my insurance wouldn't cover. So right now I should have 1x a day extended release pain medication 1x breakthrough pain medication to take per day along with an anti convulsing to take for sleep but I do have thanks to my oncologist who sent me 2 weeks worth or pain meds and anti convulsants. So I have the 1 breakthrough pain med and anti convulsants but not the extended release medication because after 6 days I still haven't got it after the one they sent in Friday after my Thursday visit wasn't accepted by my insurance. So I'm still waiting for that. Thank god for my oncologist or I'd be screwed right now. I have people who depend on me, my father who has many problems, I have to shop for him, cook for him, do housework, do anything he needs and I got a few friends who have no vehicles that I take to go shopping weekly, go to Drs, go to get a few things they need. They all depend on me and if I can't help myself how can I help them. I got physical therapy also weekly. I won't be able to do any of this without help from katina. Thank god for my oncologist who gave me the pain meds, at least I can take the one a day right when I know I gotta help my father, my friends, so they can get what they need or do what they need to do or I can get whatever my dad needs for him because without me they have no one to help them, they depend on me. So hopefully Katina can get me the extended release I'm needing and technically already gave me but I couldn't get it, I don't get the hold up for an alternate ER but this is causing me slot of stress. So hopefully tomorrow I get it finally so I can take it with my 1x a day breakthrough pain medication as it was supposed to be when I talked to her Thursday at my appointment.

I first went here on the February 24th I had to be there at 1:30pm for my 2pm appointment to fill out paperwork. I didn't even get called back til after 3pm waited in room for another 30-45 minutes, then had to wait to check out for another 15 or so minutes. I didn't get to leave until 4:15pm. Its ridiculous! People in pain should not have to wait this long to see someone for their pain. I had to stand, sit, back to standing because I was getting so sore from waiting. Fast forward to April 3rd my follow up after receiving 2 lower back injections on the 17th of March that didn't do much and 2 injections on the 27th for my neck which also didn't work but gave me nausea for 3 days upset stomach for days after, hot flashes, itching of my upper arms and didn't do absolutely nothing for my neck pain. Then seeing her for the follow-up on the 3 of April she called in an Extended Release pain medication that I went afterwards to CVS to see it it was there, they said nothing had been called in so I called back to Dr they said they won't send it out til end of the day, so I asked the pharmacy about the medication I was supposedly gonna get sent the pharmacy said they don't carry it but another location did so I called back to have them send it there instead. Flash forward till around 6pm they close at 5 I called the CVS I gave them to send it to, it wasn't called in Thursday at all, Friday morning I call the CVS they called it in, thank god.. Then I find out my insurance won't cover it so after back and forth between pharmacy, Her office and my insurance I needed to have another ER medication called in that my insurance would cover. I told her office and the lady who does the medications that my insurance won't cover it, there is 2 others ER that they cover, I had my insurance call her also to tell her they won't cover it because it ain't in their formulations etc .. I was told I'd get a call back Friday 2 different times after not getting called back I called back right before closing, I was put on hold and told sit by the phone I would get a call back after the medication lady talked to the Dr. No one called, Monday I called again was told I get a call back their working on it, still no call. They say their trying to get a PA from my insurance for the medication my insurance and I both told them wouldn't be covered,like what the heck, I told them trying to get a PA for it was pointless but was told they had to show they tried, its unbelievable. Now Tuesday I see my oncologist who said she would talk to Katina and Wednesday I got a call from my oncologist saying they asked her if they could give me something to help me. So I got a med to take one time a day for pain and a anti convulsant to take.. The one for pain was a pain med I was supposed to take 1x as I took the extended release medication katina was supposed to call in for breakthrough until the ER kicked in. My oncologist told me katina would call me at the end of the day on Wednesday and guess what no call.. I still have not got the Extended Release medication yet after pretty much a week after seeing her. So tomorrow on Thursday the 10th I'm gonna call CVS see if she sent in the Extended Release pain medication I was supposed to get to take with the 1 breakthrough pill I gotta take per day and the anticovulsant medication. So hopefully after a week ill actually get the Extended Release medication I've been needing. Its so sad my other Dr who referred me to here to give me something to help that I should be getting from katina because that's why I was sent here, to get more help than my oncologist could give me, but so far have gotten no where. So hopefully Thursday ( tomorrow) I can actually get the Extended Release medication I need to take with the others from my oncologist to actually give me some relief. I been struggling so bad since my first appointment here on February 24th and I'm still struggling as of April 9th. I might have to change to the clinic in Munster or Hobart but this one was closer to me (45 minutes) but I might have to and just drive farther to get faster service, not have to wait for hours and actually get help if I don't get any from her today when I call. Or just go somewhere else all together, time will tell.

She doesn't care at all. Who is she to tell me to stop using nicotine before she prescribes pain meds. I have been going to her for almost 3 yrs no pain relief just injections and procedures and therapy. I have osteoarthritis,fibromyalgia, systematic lupus,degenerative disc disease,auto immune and so forth I'm 45 so I have to live the rest of my life in pain with no relief. Not a very good pain management place

Always polite and informative!

As always, exceptional care.

She explained everything to me. Well. I understand everything she said and she listened to everything I had to say. Thank you so much

Very good doctors appointment

Best experience I’ve had

Took her time with me and didn't rush me out the door. She is very concerned about her patients. I will continue to see her and recommend her to others. My only problem is with the check out process. It takes to long ! It's not Katina's fault.

She's very professional. She's nice to get you in and out. And I will refer her to anybody.

Always listens and advises clearly on path to best health

I have been coming here a long time and I’ve never had a bad experience Julia. She’s always listened and always try to figure something out to help fix the problem.

Staff is nice and very short wait if there is ever one. Get my questions answered quickly.

Very nice an fast appointments explains everything

Very attentive, and she cares what I say and feel! She's been very helpful in caring for me,

She is the best

Very nice

Very professional and knowledgeable. Helpful and friendly.

Hello Chelsea ThursdayMarch 3 2025 Please talk to Dr. J spot About me not attending P. T. Not necessarily @ this time. Also let me know what’s his opinion about surgery on my back? Please let me know his decision. Thank you Sincerely, Your patient, Elsie Hernandez

Wonderful

Julie Stein N.P was efficient and excellent care

She is addressing my back problems, which is very important to become more normal and less to no pain.

Always compassionate, thorough, and professional. Excellent job!

Great

My experience was a good one. The worst part was that my appointment ran late; however, I am certain that the lateness was due to Ms. Stein spending necessary time with patients who preceded me. The best part was Ms. Stein's professional approach.

She was a joy to be around. Very knowledgeable and helped me with referrals for my Lyme disease.

Understanding, Caring Takes the time to listen. Thank you so much Julie

Christy is very thorough and extremely friendly.

Very good

She is always friendly, caring and never rushes me.

Good

Great

First visit went well looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you

I have been saying Julie for a couple of years now.I've never met a nurse practitioner.That was so smart and knowledgeable... She gave me my quality of life back. And I will forever be grateful.. I just love this pain center.All they do is just try to help you and not judge you.. I must say.I really miss doctor maxfield and andrew get anesthesiology nurse..

Easy to talk to wants the best for u

Great

Good feedback on most recent procedure. Good listener and attentive to my needs and concerns about improving health

Great doctor! A lifesaver!

Excellent listener, very knowledgeable, yet speaks in layman’s terms so everyone can understand. Very professional, respectful. I get trigger injections to help loosen up my neck and shoulders… she has a gentle touch ( although the medicine burns a bit) Chelsea has helped me soooo much. She is always smiling and friendly. Really cares about the patient and makes sure I’m comfortable HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Convenient locations. Great Valpo front office staff too.

Great

Good np

Julie and the ladies at the front desk were remarkable

Julie Stein and the ladies at the front desk were wonderful!!!!!

Dr Stein Was Very Warm, Kind and Very Professional. She was very understanding answered all my Concerns. I'm Very Grateful

Great

It was a warm visit, everyone polite, I am sorry I couldn’t concentrate. But I have not been getting any help with my pain sometimes the pain is very sharp, and I see you guys only gave me 500 mg, I will have to double it up. But Ty for your help

Wonderful

Professional but friendly, made me feel at ease and confident in their care.

I feel that the nurse felt my pain and tried to do all she could to help me. I was very pleased with my visit.

It was very professional And I had A discussion about what The next procedure will be thank you

For a NP Chelsea Dalton she is very knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to my care and or about any questions I have. She doesn't push me into doing or having any procedures that are not necessary. And she explains in detail up coming procedures to make me comfortable going into it. Thank You VERY MUCH CHELSEA FOR BEING A GREAT HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M IMPORTANT AS WELL AS MY HEALTHCARE. THANK YOU AGAIN

As usual she asked all the right questions. Eddie Cortes

Very good he's there and does a good job

Awesome treatment

Listened even though I had to explain some questions.

Number one, Dr. Ho was never there! All they wanna do is run you around to do a bunch of procedures that you really don’t need so they can charge up your insurance !!! It’s all about the money $$$$$ And the doctor was rude, and the staff lied a lot !!! This place is trash In my opinion !!! Buyer Beware!!!!

Christy was great. She addressed my questions, took time to explain what the tests found, and offered solutions. In addition she went above and beyond helping me get a procedure scheduled on the other side of the practice.

Very professional

very quick and less stressful Thank you Dr .Ho and nurses very much

Dr.shahbandar has again met my expectations. It’s only been 24 hours since my procedure but I have experienced a little relief. My procedure usually can take up to 2 weeks to experience improvement. He explained the procedure and told me what to expect. His staff were also great…you could tell that they cared. He has a great personality unlike some physicians who feel that you’re too ignorant to understand what they’re doing.

very nice and effective doctor

Julie Stein has given me a new hope for the back pain I have been living with for such a long time. I am looking forward to the end results.

Dr. Puranik and the crew in Valpo are awesome. They are all very sociable in a professional way. Ready and able to take care of your needs. I always look forward to seeing them.

Dr. Ho An excellent doctor. He takes his time with you and listen to you. Very professional, Very caring and nice. He has always concerned for you as a patient. Marcie

She listens and takes her time. She is Professional and caring. I have nothing but positive things to say about her.

Reviewed continuing treatment and success and upcoming treatment for knee issues and mobility as Dr Dalton and Dr Ho have brought great improvements to spinal issues with treatment and therapy lessening dependence on pain Meds So I thank them for returning my life to activity on a Daily basis

Thank you for all your help

Dr. Puranik is great. Very caring & precise. He recently did a hip injection for me & it feels better already.

It's always great

She is Awesome. She listens an she gives u the best options on what to do with my concerns.. I don’t like seeing someone else other than Dr. Ho.. But she is one NP that I don’t mind seeing when I can’t see Dr Ho… Love Her

they deleted my portal So I cant get my information thanks

Almost all the doctors have left , Every time I asked for a doctor the NP gave me a run around wont let me talk to him. She said she would call PT and never did. then Told me I will call today and I told I don't trust her or anything she says. Asked for a doctor told me she talks to doctor to review things and that should be good enough. When I saw her delete things on computer last visit should have given me heads up then Billed Medicare as if I saw a doctor no longer there since December. called to report her to manager they said we cant see you no because I refused to believe the nurse . sat in room 39 minutes and I started to leave they rushed me back to room I should of kept going home. The staff told me it going down hill fast last time I was there I should have just started looking then. RUN AWAY PEOPLE

Hanifa paid close attention to my charts and answered every question I had. I'm very pleased that I was able to see her in the office

Love Chelsea. She listens to you.

Very nice .

I was an a@@ and vented all my frustrations on the one person trying to help me. Through it all Vanessa was calm and polite and talked with me until I I regained my senses. Because of this I can’t comment on her physician’s skills but I can comment that she is a wonderful person and that is way more than half the equation. Vanessa, again I am sorry for my actions.

Friendly,knowledgeable and listens to you.

Dr Ho was very friendly and informative. His introduction was very warm and calmly before proceeding with my treatment which helped me to relax.

Did a great job. Very little pain on a local anestethia.

She thought through the visit

My regular location is in Munster but came to Hobart because Munster didn’t have my time requirements. This was the first time I met Dr Shahbandar. He introduced himself knowing it was my first time with him. The injections in my right shoulder was almost painless and I returned to work afterwards. I would definitely return again.

Great Experience

She’s great

Amazing Doctor

Christy is a very caring person who takes great care in making sure a patient is not in a lot of pain when she does her procedures. She listens to all my questions before and after procedures. She explains things so I can understand what is going to happen and how procedures went. She truly cares about the patient's Wellbeing. I recommend her to everyone I talk to.

Dr. Shabandar is extremely caring and compassionate.

Hanifa ALWAYS shows that she cares about me as an individual. She truly cares about each patient. I feel so comfortable working with her. I can honestly say that she's better than my care team from the University of Chicago Medicine. all i can say is thank you Hanifa, from the very bottom of my heart!

You were very nice and listen to me and help me and my needs thank you so much

Good experience. Julie listens to what you have to say and your concerns . She discusses all range of options with you some I didn't know existed. The front counter staff is wonderful to deal with also. Thank you

Very good service every time I have an appointment

1st time visit ? Seem like a nice person

Takes her time to get to know you and your condition. Very respectful and easy to talk to. I won't see anyone but her.

So far all good.

Very professional and thorough! Would recommend to my friends.

So caring and very thorough!

I always have a wonderful experience except for getting my medication

She was easy to talk and very pleasant. I was very impressed with the knowledge she had of my conditions.

Christy Kersey is awesome! She is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. Customer service at its finest. I would absolutely refer her to anyone in need. You’re welcome :)

Excellent

Very professional in explaining the procedure and staff are very professional

Christy is amazing and very caring and she takes such good care of me during my procedures her whole staff is amazing.

It is always a pleasure when she assist me. She has a pleasant presence.

Always great service

Ms Varner is an excellent clinician. She is thorough and explains everything to you. She is also very pleasant and easy to talk to.

He’s been really nice

I have been going to Pain Management for years. Dr. Maxfield always listens to your concerns. His bedside manner is amazing, he shows he really cares about his patients. His team is wonderful and caring.

I appreciated your kindness and you being careful with my arms/shoulders.

I just love Chelsea to death. She is now going to be full-time at the Hobart location which will be a longer drive for me, but I will follow her anywhere. She is amazing and she listens to you without felling rushed. If you get to see Chelsea, you will not be disappointed.

Great doctor, keeps me able to move

Dr.Maxfield made me feel comfortable. He explained everything he did as he was doing the surgery. Hes a great dr. To have.

I always am treated with respect and am able to discuss my condition to a listening ear. Maxine

good job

The knee injection before this one ( sometime back in July ) was much better I got instant pain relief and it lasted longer.Not sure why ,,hard to get answers,,about this one

Julie listened to your concern and make you feel comfortable.

You cannot discuss anything with her and if you do she has an attitude about it.

I never saw a physician, apparently the physicians were too busy to bother with me. I I saw a NP twice who advised me that they wanted to do invasive and expensive alternative treatments and take me off the pain meds that have sustained me for 18 years. In those years prior, I've had injections, PT, Tens, and consulted surgeons. But, it has been the medications that worked. We have reduced those meds to the minimum Effective doses but that's not enough. They can't make much money by simply prescribing what works, they need to have surgery and to wire my spine to make the most, then she told me me CT scan doesn't look bad enough to justify using medications, but it looks bad enough to justify surgery and implanting electrodes and a controller in my back. Anyone who seeks their help for pain, will be disappointed unless your willing to complete their useless and expensive procedures.

I'am in more pain now, than before. A new pain that goes down my right hip and thigh.

Dr. Chelsea is Wonderful. She listens to me about my health concerns and answers every question I have for her. She is a Wonderful Person.

This was my 1st Appt with Ms. Hanifa NP...she is an ultimate professional! She answered all of my questions and even proactively handled a prescription conflict that prevented the confusion that typically ensues when we relocate each December. She is an excellent compliment to the CPC Hobart Facility. I am more and more impressed with this Team with each visit. Thank You!

She’s very eager to help in whatever way I need

Very good at explaining what i didn't understand.and patient

Amazing Doctor, knees and back feeling better day by day..Thanks so much Doctor

Great Doctor ! Very thoughtful , listened to all my concerns and came up with a plan to get me feeling some relief . Took her time and Talked to me and made sure I understand everything . Ordered all the tests to get to the problem!

Very nice

HANIFA WAARITH was wonderful! She listened to me and seemed genuinely concerned and took the time to explain everything to me!

Told me to stop vaping nicotine before she prescribe pain medication when o have osteo,rhuematoid,lupus,fibromyalgia,degerentive disc 3, auto immune disorder. Varicous viens ect. What kind of dr doesn't care just wants to keep doing back procedures on me that aren't helping. How would u all feel. Am I wrong

The office looks run down. The chairs are HORRIBLY uncomfortable. The staff is slow at assisting any person. There is no reason any patient should wait an hour and 15mins. Once I was in the room with the physician, I felt immediately dismissed because of my "yellow file", which apparently flags Medicaid patients in this office. He didn't care to talk about my pain, just said I'll need PT for compliance. Essentially I felt like I was treated like a drug seeking patient. This physician never looked at the MRI I had (ONLY A WEEK OLD) only asked for more tests, and completely ignored me as a person. As if that wasn't enough, I explained to the Dr., that I was pretty certain I was going to need another knee surgery based on the results of that MRI, and how much pain I was in. I was offered a prescription that I ex. plained is not effective for me. I went to fill prescriptions and was extremely surprised to have one for the drug I said was ineffective and Narcan. I found this shocking and insulting, especially because it was never suggested this would be added to my medication list. I left this office in more pain than when I came in!!! This office and staff is a sad display of professionalism. The staff, including the Dr., should consider their personal conversations near by patient rooms, as they are not well insulated for soundproofing.

Did a great job answering ask my questions and concerns. He was very nice man. Very attentive giving me all info I asked in detail. To bad his transition to be an academic. For he's the best Doctor over meet with since coming to The Pain Clinic

I had to wait 40 minutes before being placed in a treatment room. I was then informed by the staff that I would have to wait another hour or more before being seen. Once I was seen she had no idea as to what to do. She stated she would reach out to the Dr. for help and get back in touch with me for which she never did.

Whole experience at office is great. Chelsea really cares and listens.

Professional and patient centered care. I’m very satisfied with my treatment.

First visit went well. She understood my concerns and was able to describe in detail what steps will be taken to help me with my situation

She always listen to me

She really cares for her patients

5 star and more

He is a Wonderful and loving doctor I will recommend him to anyone

Every understandable

She's a great doctor. She listened to you care about you. She don't rush. Highly recommend her

I have been coming to this clinic several years and find the doctors and Practitioners to be personable and caring. My legs feel better and they look better. I am grateful

Very nice and listened to what I had to say and asked me more than once if I had any questions

Great

Very professional.

I feel like she Really listens and helps with getting the best care for Me!!!

Great experience and knowledgeable about ailments and procedures.

Very attentive, and knowledgeable. Good experience

Dr Maxfield and all of his nurses and staff are amazing.

I am very pleased with my care at centers for pain control and vein care. Chelsea is a caring professional who listens to your concerns and helps you to understand procedures that are available.

IT WAS ONE OF SHORTEST WAIT TIME TO SEE CHELSEA THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD.

I absolutely LOVE Mrs Julie Stein. She really listens to what I have to say and works with you to get results.

It was great

Efficient, knowledgeable, addressed all of my problems and ordered possible solutions.

Very informative easy to talk to and explained everything to me

Hanifa was the perfect provider for my elderly father. When she spoke she looked at him so he could hear better and she was kind and patient and explained everything as she went along. She was the provider that suggested we get the procedure that ultimately help my father return to a better quality of life.

Dr. Maxfield was very kind, knowledgeable and thorough, . He answered all my questions and I felt at ease talking to him.

Would not recommend this nurse for anyone! She’s non caring and needs to take the time out from her storytelling to be empathetic

Julie is a great listener! I’ve never had a bad experience.

Gave me a care plan and made me feel reassurance about what can be done for me

I like being seen by Julie

She's very thorough and will spend time talking with you but still seems rushed.

As always Julie asked how I'm feeling and if there is anything that's bothering me, I've been doing a lot better since seeing her. Eddie Cortes

Great

She changed my prescription after reading the previous dosage out loud, and didn't say anything more about about it. She changed it without my knowledge or an explanation! That's unprofessional and a little scary, when a medical provider doesn't thoroughly explain what they are doing regarding a patient's health care.

Great! He gets to the point!

Dr.Puranik has always been upfront on treatment for procedures. This last test shot in and out done. Very easy going. Thank you,Dr Puranik

EXCELLENT

I felt decent after I went home. I cleaned my work area, made a big dinner, and around 8pm I knocked out. I slept like a baby. Today I’m sore. But I’m still trying to keep busy.

Dr Ho has always listened to my issues and has addressed them with as much care as he possibly could. I thank them very much for getting me through my last several operations.

Great bedside manners

Great experience for being in such pain. Lower back injection He was very explanatory on the procedure very nice. Took alot of pictures to hit the right spot. Very wonderful experience will be back for neck procedure which will probably be next.

Great experience - very polite and enlightening on future procedures for me.

Wonderful

Everything always goes well and everyone is always kind and considerate. Would recommend.

When it comes to Ms. Dalton, I feel I am in great hands! Chelsea actually listens to my concerns and helps me to find solutions that I am comfortable with. She is very knowledgeable, has an excellent demeanor and is very approachable. I am grateful to have her as an added member to my healthcare team!

Dr Ho seems very understanding, caring, and very professional on finding the problem and fixing it.

Great np

Dr Shahbander and his team always make it quick and as painless as possible, he goes the extra mile to provide ways for pain relief!

Very great

Best experience I could ask for! She is 10 stars in my book! She went above and beyond for me and I am forever grateful.

And top it off I’m going through a drawls a lot, and he didn’t even bother trying to wean me off any medication or help me with my withdrawals very bad doctor wouldn’t recommend him to nobody

I needed help with my medication and change it instead of let me come in and talk to him and help me change it. I told him that I did not want to take the strong medication no more and I disposed of it they would not give me no more medication they wouldn’t let me come in and explain my situation, they drop me very very bad. Doesn’t care about the patient at all.

Very unprofessional doesn’t care about the patient very bad practice wouldn’t recommend him for. Nobody stay away from centers for pain control.

Np Julie Stein and all of the staff at CPC in Valpo are great folks! I cannot say enough good things. I always feel like they care about my health and well being. Just wonderful and I am very grateful.

They always treat me very well .they really care about the patient

Always a pleasure

Julie Stein listens to your needs and always tries to find different methods to help you.

Having to live with pain all the time, the injection Dr. Maxfield performs helps tremendously for my pain along with the medication I receive. Dr. Maxfield's staff that works along side him are very nice and answers your questions as best they can. I will continue to see Dr. Maxfield as much as my insurance will let me.

He was great felt very comfortable with him for just meeting him

Just amazing from the front desk to the doctor. She listens and understands completely.

Fast.friendly

I like the way she explains things and answers questions if I have any. Thank you.

She is wonderful and very thorough

Selena Velasco VNP has been amazing. Since day one, Selena has been every informative about veins and treatment options that are out here that a lot of people are unaware of. Selena has done several procedures dealing with my veins and it has been very effective. The improvement is showing. Thank you Selena Velasco VNP for your work.

TERRIBLE

TERRIBLE

Dr. Mayfield is a kind and caring doctor. He takes time to explain your treatment and answer any questions and what lies ahead.

I’ve been with Dr.Shahbandar for many years… and recommend him to friends and family. The staff @ the Hobart facility, where I received an injection are friendly and professional.

She is great at explaining everything to her patients! I felt comfortable with her and she is very nice and takes time talking to you!

Christy Kersey Is great! She took the time to explain in detail the results of my ultrasound for my legs. She Asked questions and listened to my answers, Even questions I didn’t realize pertained to the problem I’m having. We have a plan to take care of my veins to fix cramping and heaviness in my legs, and to avoid future risks.

Dr Shebandar is a great doctor who actually really cares about his patients. He takes his patients very personal. I trust him and I am thankful to be under his care. He always asks me about my life and my activities so he can understand what is going on and what makes me hurt less or more. I am just very happy to have him as my doctor and great staff. Portal works great. Saves time. I can ask questions, make any payments through it so the portal works great. Plus I can do my pre check in on it so when I go to my appointment I can go right in.

Dr Shabandar is the Best!!!

All Good. Always

Great! Everyone was kind and professional.

Courtesy and timely!
