Valerie really sits and listens to my concerns and provides great feedback and steps we should take in the future.

As always nurse practitioner Katina was great. She listens and asks questions to make sure you understand the situation. In my opinion you would not go wrong consulting her or this facility. The staff are also great while being helpful.

Provider answered all my questions And was courteous

I won’t be back. For so many reasons. If Dr shah was still taking patients, i would’ve never experienced what I did, I would’ve stayed.

He's the best!

She's very attentive and nice. She also seems to really care. It was only my first visit but I'd recommend her to anyone needing to see a pain management specialist.

I have great experiences at Centers for Pain! My Nurse Practitioner, Valerie Cline, treats me with respect, compassion and really listens to me. The staff are great and I have been going there since 2018. I am very satisfied with the care and treatments I have received thank you

Miss Julie is awesome. She listens to me. Doesn't make me feel rushed or judged. She shows me that she takes my concerns and pain seriously. She is always willing to find a treatment plan that works for me. She doesn't just dismiss you.

Dr. Ho is very kind and informative

Absolutely great !!

Excellent service..very professional and always listening to me.. tysvm

Personal and professional

I had a great experience and I would recommend everyone.

Excellent at what she does

Good dr

I have been a patient of Dr Simon Ho for more than 6 years. I just love his smile and his energy that he shows to his patients. I would recommend him to my friends. His staff is so pleasant and warming. Dr Ho gets a 10 from me.

She has helped me tremendously on my journey to gain back my life with chronic pain. Thank you so much!!

Very pleasant. Informative. Takes her time to make sure you understand what is being discussed

He's a great doctor I highly recommend him for all your back needs he is amazing

great doctor

Good

Ok

Very thorough and professional!

Dr. puranik and his staff always seem to get to the real issues and I love all of their different ways they can deal with pain I've had nothing but improvements since I've switched clinics 10 years ago

Thanks

She is very pleasant person/caregiver. One that actually listen. She addresses any questions or concerns I have. ❤️ the service she provides.

I hadn’t seen the doctor for 4 months but when I reached out it was as easy and they treated me like a patient that never missed. My first time with Valerie and she was wonderful and made the visit great glad I found her

There are no reviews at this time, we only spent a few minutes in her office, there are test to be taken,X-rays and such

Very caring and attentive

Valerie is very caring. I feel good about the care I am getting.

Excellent

Great

Great

Even though I screwed. The Dr helped me and put me back on track. I would recommend all of the Drs in the office

Dr Puranik has been very instrumental and helping with my pinched nerve in my neck. The ablations are working wonderfully.

She takes time to explain to you about what you have done

Everyone at the pain clinic is very nice. I was in and out in a timely manner..

Valerie was very helpful in leading me to a better future with my pain issues.

No problems, she was very helpful

Me and my wife has 2 dogs so of course they are going to climb on us, but prior to my wife's appointment she showed and put on clean clothes and as we were leaving are dogs jumped on us as they always do. And when we got there Dr. Ho refused to do the procedure on my wife because he said she smelt like dogs. Anyone who has dogs are going to smell like dogs. To say it was unprofessional is an understatement. So needless to say, we'll be finding a more professional pain management Dr. So if you own pets make sure you don't smell like them.

Very sincere and helpful.

Excellent

Valerie was very pleasant and very helpful. She went over my medications and she listened to my pain issues.

Excellent and highly professional

Nice

Nice

Sympathetic and helpful.

I’ve been going to Centers for Pain for years now and I’ve always had friendly and professional service. Currently I see Valerie Cline and I would absolutely recommend her. I also love the front staff!

I was treated quickly and with respect. She was polite very thorough and answered my questions. Ms. Cline went over the test results and directed me to the night doctor for what I needed next.

Miss Cline seem to me she is understanding and she doesn't push u into other treatment. I only seen her once so we will see

He listened and took action.

Julie Stein is very professional and is concerned with my problem. She gave me exercises to do at home to help with the pain in my calves

It was good. My knee feels better. He iust did the 2nd one. I hope I get the same results.

Julie Stein is awsome ever since I started coming to her she has helped me make great improvements to my everyday life. With her help I have been able to get better mobility. I just want to thank yall

GREAT CLINIC

Good

Dr. Ho is a very caring doctor & explains every procedure to my satisfaction. He does not promise something he cannot deliver & always goes the extra mile to find a solution to your individual problem! Thank you! Dr. Simon Ho

I was very happy with Valerie Cline and her helpful staff. I would recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you for all your help!

She listens and tells me my options. Friendly .

Julie is a very good provider, I never feel rushed, she always has time for questions. And she listens to any concerns if I have any. You entire staff are very kind and professional.

Good experience with worker's, very nice answer questions.the doctor explained everything to me in terms that I understood.very good doctor and staff,I would recommend.

Dr. Julie oversees my treatment at CPC. She makes sure that my concerns are addressed.

Nice, caring and great individual and very quick it taken care of you.

Definitely recommend

I'm disappointed in the painful night to do the fact that she promised me medication and didn't give it to me and then made excuses of why she wasn't going to do it and so that makes me really disappointed in it.

Valerie Cline has been truly great. I believe she genuinely cares about her patients. Thank you.

She listens to you and takes the time to explain things to you. She will look at all options that could benefit you.

Everybody’s so nice & Julie is a great doctor

Had an appointment with Dr.Waarith for the first time and had a good experience. She talk to you in lamens terms and she uses diagrams to explain your test results and I appreciate that.

I just can say he has really tried to find a way for me to at least get some comfort and that’s better than what I was hoping for. Thank you Doctor

Very proffessional

As always Chelsea is very competent, and thorough.

Selena is awesome! Very down-to-earth and relatable. Highly recommend

Dr puranik and the entire staff of CPC is always so friendly! I was very nervous about my procedure and each and everyone put my mind at ease and took great care of me!

Very helpful and explains everything to you in an understandable way

She was very helpful

Very nice. No waiting. Staff professional

I’ve had multiple procedures because of the severity of my spinal problems. Today’s visit was with the care provider Katina. As always she was attentive to my needs., She was caring and pleasant. I most definitely recommend this facility and this caregiver.

I just became a patient.. So so far I I'm getting there and it's getting better with my treatments

Very professional and made the experience as worry free as possible

Fantabulous

I love her

The support staff are wonderful! Give them a raise! Nurse Cline is very understanding. She listens and practices with care!

Good service great Dr.

Though we got a late start , the procedure was not rushed and the end result was spectacular

Listens and makes a complicated painful experience much easier to endure.

Good

First time meeting. Very knowledgeable with cervical, thoracic and lumbar pain issues. Ideas of procedures to help. Has an empathic personality.

She is patient with me and makes sure she covers all points of medical points

The office staff get you checked in really fast. The visit goes really fast.

Very nice and understandin good

Everything went fine for my visit All employees are friendly and helpful.

I definitely feel like my concerns were addressed and the staff are friendly and efficient

Very. Delightful and informative

I had vein ablation on my leg with only local anesthesia and they had me laughing through the pain. So I guess my experience was great. Great staff, good people. And thank y'all for being there.

Dr. Chelsea is a wonderful and caring soul who has helped me tremendously. She listens to everything I need to say and always gives her full attention.

Everyone at the office is polite. Angie is very attentive and explains things well. If you need good care I would recommend this office.

Julie Is very professional, she listens to her patients and discusses different solutions for pain control. When you’re in for an office visit you know that your health concerns are being addressed. Maintains good contact with your general physicians and follows up after having procedures or other health concerns. Patrick Lunsford

I have a very high tolerance to opiates over the last 40 years. I love Dr. SHAHBANDAR he knows my history included my back surgeries, head on car accident all my other surgeries and work injuries. Been through it all with doc even tried the Neuro stimulator. But I also have Multiple Sclerosis for 27 years very painful in its own right. I had to get the stimulator removed because of this. We tried ALLkinds of opioid medicine and settled on 30 mg ir Oxycodone. Yes a high does but it does not effect me like others with my high tolerance. Then I say Katina Varner and it was fine. Now I see this Hanifa and she was oh oh oh no no no that is way too high a does. So she cut me 30 pills 1 a day. This has been the most painful month I have had in years. 4 am this morning I woke up hurting bad but hav to save them because it gets worse after a hard day. So I eat a VALIUM not made for pain but but but. She did not at all cared what I had to say she cut my meds and walked out. If I was to see Katina all would be great. I am 67 and would love to live somewhat pain free now but with Hanifa doesn't look like it. Why why why was it ok with the actual PAIN DOCTOR that put me on these meds and NP Katina but now with Hanifa I am in pain again. What is wrong with this picture. They are there and have been to help my pai until now. ALL MY DOCTORS know ALLmy medicine I take I hide nothing. So if yo want your pain meds cut down because Hanifa feels you're taking too much without consulting with the ORIGINAL DOCTOR SHAHBANDAR that put me on this good luck to her. She looked at me and said oh ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS MUCH. Well that is why I have been coming to Dr. SHAHBANDAR For almost 10 years. By far the worst I have felt pain wise in years.

Good

Ms. Waarith was very concerned about my husband's issues. She addressed the issues and gave us alternatives that would take care of the issues. She was very prompt on consulting with his other doctors. He even received a phone call that she had consulted with the other doctors. She was very compassionate about his pain issues. We will definitely come back and see her again.

She doesn't manage your pain, she just makes appointments for the real Doctors to do there job. Dr. Ho is great though.

Good

Angie is always thorough with my history, managing suggested treatments, time frames & my overall health ! A real sweetheart !

She is a very patient person she listens to everything you have to say & trys to help you get rid of the problem

I'm shouting to everyone, Christy Kersey, NP and her Team is the Best. I felt as if everyone has known me for years. I have to say that they have everything in order, this team is not to be messed with. They actually seem as if they're family because how in sync with each other.

Julie is very understanding and she cares about her patients. She communicates with you on your situation and so helpful when comes to making a decision on what your next step on what needs to be done.

Good

Wonderful care, excellent service

I have never had a bad experience With any injection......the team Dr.Ho has is a great team. They all work together for the patients comfort.

Good

Pleasant. Thorough. Easy to talk with & willing to spend the time to answer questions.

She’s very nice and takes care of the issues you have

Everyone is caring and ready to help

This is the first time meeting Valerie she was very nice and she answered all of my questions and concerns and the staff was very nice

I was incredibly impressed by the entire experience, NP Selena Velasco took the time to listen to all my concerns and explained my treatment plan in a way I could easily understand, which made me feel very at ease throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a provider who is both thorough and compassionate

Selena showed me the details of my scans and what she planned to do to correct what the scans showed. She answered all of my questions and really listened to what I had to say.

She's a good nurse practitioner , she listens and give you goods advice

Excellent, caring staff This facility is awesome. Thank you for all of your amazing professionalism

I have the deepest respect for Miss Zielinski. Any interactions I've had with her have been positive. I feel listened to and she readily answers any questions I have. In my experience, including today, she is top tier.

She is the best…

I met Dr Ho for the first time a few minutes before my procedure. His friendliness was refreshing as we talked about how I could have got the problem. When he said he would “Try” to fix me and I told him I realize that’s all he could do because he wasn’t GOD! It’s a wait and see time for me now.

I was extremely comfortable with my doctor with his nurses the anesthesiologist everyone was informative knowledgeable made things very clear and understandable. I was very happy with all of the services that I was received, and I am starting to feel much better thanks to everyone for what you do may God continue to bless each and everyone of you

This was my 1st time here, and I had a great experience. The office staff were friendly and helpful. The nurse was very thorough and friendly. Ms. Cline was very kind and understanding. She took the time to get a detailed history and explained what steps we would take first. I felt like I was listened to and that my concerns were heard. I look forward to seeing Ms. Cline again for my next appointment.

Julie is the best! She always takes the time to listen and make you feel heard.

Everything went well. I have a new date for my cortisone shots. Im very appreciated

CChristy Kersey is one of the best; she takes her time, explains everything, and gives you a chance to ask questions. She goes above and beyond. We had a positive experience, not so much with the staff at the front desk, but my rating goes to Christy.

Dr. SHAHBANDAR is excellent at what he does. I highly recommend him for pain Dr. he treats both myself and my husband and we both get great relief and he is very easy to talk to also.

Caring, explains thi is in layman terms.

.

Good

Everyone involved took great care of me.

She is very personable when I go into her office and see her about procedures

Selena is very well prepared to provide the most relevant information and options for care. Her recommendations are well founded in knowledge and experience, practical, and personalized.

Chelsea is very personable, and knowledgeable

Very nice and friendly, introduced himself, Made sure I understood what was going on, Procedure was fast , and he talked to me telling me what was happening through it all.

Very professional great staff

Christy is the ultimate Professional she and her staff are exceptional. I just lost my Wife and struggling big time and she is so kind and understanding along with being a superb technician and talked me through the whole process is definitely a top notch person.

Staff made me comfortable as I waited in the room with pillows as I needed to lay on my side due to back pain. Katina was pleasant and professional.

Answered all my questions

Great service

Supposed to treat pain but she did nothing. I’m sick of this “opioid-phobia” these people have. I do not recommend if you want effective pain management. It’s all about money here.

She is great

Katina is the best!

Chelsea is caring and competent. A+

I had a great experience Chelsea today, she listened to my concerns and answered all my questions concerning my upcoming medical procedure. I felt a lot better about it after leaving the appointment. Thank you, Chelsea.

Christy Kersey is the Best. I love her positive energy, empathy and personality. She truly do care an you can't say that often. It felt as if Christy was a mind reader because she know exactly what I am dealing with and pin point it when no one else could have.

Dr Ho did a great job. My pain is gone

You feel like an insurance number not a person. She's supposed to manage pain but doesn't.

Julie did a fine job. I just needed her to approve an ablation. An appointment was made for today. Apparently my insurance denied the ablation and my appointment was cancelled. I would've appreciated it if anybody told me it was cancelled after i scheduled a day off work and so did my ride. This is NOT the first time this has happened. I should be credited for my time as I would have been charged if I didn't show for an appointment.

Very nice and listen to what I had to say

Happy with appointment. No waiting all my questions were answered and explained. Extremely satisfied.

Chelsea was very professional. She also listened and was very attentive. She also made sure that all necessary doctors were notified. She was great.

Dr. Ho is friendly and takes the time to listen to you. I was quite anxious and he calmed me down through the procedure.

Dr.Ho was very polite and efficient, my anesthesia experience was very painful

I am very happy with Dr. Waarith. She is very thoughtful and concise. My experience at this office is more pleasant because I have not had to wait long to get in to see her. She is a TCOB type doctor and I appreciate that!

Rude, condescending and never asked for back story of what I’ve been through and diagnosed. This was the FIRST time meeting him. It wasn’t upset during appt about the medications being lowered, I was upset with his method of removing my medicine so quickly which is AGAINST CDC guidelines. Causing me unnecessary suffering with withdrawal at how quickly removing medicines. No matter what I asked or said, he was adamant on doing it his timeline. Even after telling him I’m the SOLE caregiver (lives with mom) for my mother who JUST had DOUBLE MASTECTOMY and now doing chemo. I have to drive her to Chicago for ask Dr appts and chemo while being rapidly taken off medications. He told me, “We aren’t talking about your mother, it’s about you.” “I don’t care about this.” What a dr. & totally concerned about speaking out and retribution like the other np did to me from another office which is why I went to different one. Kept telling me there are other Drs I can go to and I don’t have to stay there. That was repeated at least 4xs.

It was a great first appointment. Chelsea was very informative she listened to my concerns and aches and pains. The staff was very friendly and helpful

Excellent care

Excellent care staff is very courteous

Yesterday Dr. R Puranik performed a Bil TXTF L4-5. I could barely walk into CPC, walking with a cane in major pain. When I went home I fell asleep until 10:10 PM. When I woke up. I could walk with out my cane! I baked bread, washed dishes, and a few other household duties that I haven't been able to do for months. Dr Puranik and his staff are wonderful!

It was great

She explain what was going on with my legs and explain what type of surgery she will be performing to me she really cares about her patients

Chelsea Dalton NP has helped me tremendously. She is a wonderful person who cares about her patients.

Great doctor And nurses

Christy is very nice and cares about her patients! I was upset with the pain management side to all of this but recently things have changed for the better.

Best dr in NWI!

Love my dr. He is the best in NWI!

Christy was very sweet and explained everything to me,

Great

I was seen in a timely manner and treated with respect My experience was pleasant

Selena was awesome! Excellent explanation of process. She displayed a wonderful demeanor and was extremely down to earth and relatable. The office staff was exceptional. Wonderful personalities!

She is a nice and sweet NP I ever had and she is very caring for all her patients

Selena was awesome!

Very warm and genuine

We'll find out the next time I see her.

Great service

Cares about her patience

They totally understand when I explain my pain. I never feel rushed or just brushed aside. They have been keeping me on my feet when no one else could. Would never seek help anyplace but Centers for Pain Control

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.

Great listener !

Awesome, very professional office from the time you walk through the door you are greeted with kindness

Great

Very professional great at her job

Always listen to me and prescribe great care. Thank you

My first visit and unsure of what was going on. The entire staff treated me with respect and kindness

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.

Good

Julie Stein & Team are professional, courteous, & understanding to the issues at hand. I am very comfortable having them find a solution for whatever is the cause of my problem.

On time, professional and polite.

Yesterday, June 24, 2025 was ny initial visit at the Centers for Pain Management Control. Everyone from the front desk staff Jackie and her colleague, medical assistant Rae to the provider Julie Stein were kind, knowledgeable and professional. It was a very good experience to start the process of resolving my medical issues. Thank you! Denise A Haritos

He is the best!!!!!!

Nurse practitioner Chelsea Dalton, i is highly recommended. Very knowledgeable and her field of medicine. She listens very intensely to what is going on with your body. And gives good feedback. Never making you feel like it might be in your head or your not doing something right with your health.. Has very good strong suggestions that give you hope. I always feel better after I leave her office.

She's carrying and listen to the patient. She explains what that want to do to help you

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. She takes the time to ensure that all aspects of my health are carefully considered, which gives me great confidence in her care.” She really takes the time to listen to my concerns and makes me feel comfortable and cared for every single time. She is definitely a great asset to Centers For Pain Control.

Chelsea is the best!

She listened and paid attention!

Wonderful doctor

Also very pleasant

Prompt, knowledgeable, listened and responded to each of my concerns. Everyone at the office was friendly, efficient and helpful.

Julie Stein always seem to care about the person's need and she always meets them I like her for a doctor and I want to keep her thanks for everything

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!

Great NP. Very caring and compassionate. Answered all my questions and concerns.

I have experienced nothing but professional care with kindness from my first visit until today. Each department I have visited showed me they truly cared about me, And I'm starting to see some improvement in each visit.

She is always attentive and helpful. The staff is great too.

Chelsea is very competent, and is great at making her patients comfortable and at ease discussing their medical issues and needs.

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

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

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..
