I have scoliosis, spondylolthesis, and spinal arthritis.
It takes a month to get an appointment.
All calls for are ignored and they turn their phone lines off.
The medication nurse's voicemail is always full.
Please file a grievance with your insurance if you have had a bad experience with this place.
Apparently they think treating every type of pain with cortisone injections is the answer to everything. I heard the doctor in the next room while waiting for my appointment offering that patient cortisone injections too, "to be able to tell where the pain is coming from."

I told Dr. John Adams at Synovation that last year I was given Prednisone AND Dilaudid and I could still feel pain. So why was his answer cortisone steroid injections? The injections on December 22, have left me in an unbearable pain over a week later. I also told him NSAIDs gave me heart palpitations and he didn't care because he wrote me a prescription for Mobic. I could never get through on the phone lines to tell him the medications didn't work, had to go to my PCP for pain meds while I was waiting over a month for the cortisone injections.
I fear he has done permanent damage.
The Pain Clinic tried to call me back yesterday but I was in too much pain to answer the phone, I was in bed. They only called me back because a supervisor at Desert oasis Medical Group told them to. All the times I called them before that my calls were ignored.
It seems this clinic's answer for everything is steroid injections, they do them all day Tuesdays and Fridays.

These injections are Non- FDA approved for use in the spine. Look into it.
