Dr. James Beretta, DO

He is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. He takes time to listen to you. I also like that you don’t have to wait very long at all to get back to see him at your appointment time.

Front office staff was very friendly. Nurses and Nurse anesthetist were very compassionate ,caring, nice and explained everything in detail.

Understands your pain and caring

Did not care about patients are their care only wanted your money, just a pill pusher.

I have been seeing Dr. Barretta for years. He is a wonderful doctor. He is very personable and professional.He knows what he is doing and he has been able to help me with my pain blocks.

My ex husband see Dr. Beretta for pain Management, but he trys to get his meds from pharmacy and they said it was only a I/4 of what he is prescribed.. and Dr. Beretta phone number will not go through.. can you please, check this . The patient name is Fred Morris DOB is 5/24/1959. Thank you Lisa is ex wife. Trying to help him. He really needs his meds..

Dr. takes pain management very serious. You will be required to see him every 60 days and fail a drug test. Dr. does not mess around so if you are looking for an automatic free ride this is not the Dr. for you but if you are looking for a Dr. that you know will be there when you need him and not lose his licence because of violating some rules or regulations.

Dr. Beretta has been my pain management doctor for over 20 years. Several other doctor said that I would never be able to work or enjoy the things that I like to do that my physical activities were at an end. Through therapy and proper medical care Dr. Beretta Has proved them all wrong! In my opinion he is top notch !!!

I had one appointment after my past Doctor retired. The appointment went okay and for the most part I liked him. BUT I received a letter in the mail discharging me from his care as my drug test came back as my urine was diluted. I had no idea how that could even be possible, so I looked it up online. Apparently drinking too much tea, water or coffee can do it. I drink A LOT of water and sweet tea. You would think a doctor of such, experience would know that and would simply ask me to come in without having anything to drink!

I’ve been seeing this doctor for thirteen years for chronic pain after two back surgeries. I also suffer with bipolar. He was fine treating me for thirteen years while I was medicated for both issues by only him and my psychiatrist. Suddenly, he wouldn’t treat me anymore because he said there was a conflict between my medications. I was on the same medications for all thirteen years. He was rude and didn’t take three minutes with me. He didn’t even stay in the room long enough for me and my husband to ask about alternatives to alleviate my pain. His staff is equally as rude. If you’re looking for a caring doctor, go elsewhere, especially if you suffer from mental illness.

Dr. Beretta is the best doctor I have ever seen. So knowledgeable about so many different topics and pain issues. I wish there were more doctors like him and with the same awesome expertise.

Narcissistic child

I really like the doctor however I'm having problems with the prior approvals because there needs to be an adjustment with the medication and the nurse refuses to help. The cost of the medications without insurance is nearly 800$. I understand insurance is a pain but the medication does me no good if I can't get it. They knew this last Thursday when I came in and still gave me the same medication and took my copay. So I don't know if there's a communication problem?

Excellent dr. I've been a patient of his for several years now. He's very caring and compassionate.

I have been a patient here for over 10 years and even drive several hours now for my treatment. I trust his decisions on my care and the staff is the nicest I’ve ever felt with.

Dr Beretta is by far the best pain Management Dr I have had. Hopefully the last. He is courteous, wise professional and very caring. His staff works hard along side him and have been with him a long time. Once you get settled in with Dr Beretta you can feel comfortable and confident that he will take care of your medical needs in the most practical / effective ways in his power. He is not the average "pain Dr mill" this is a respectable man for starters who cares about each and every patient.

Very poor bedside manner to the point this or any other feedback would not be read. So this is for people that will be his patients. His testing is nonexistent to the point of only doing the least he can get away with. Do not know what brought him from the north to Florida and then to Alabama but most can figure out what it was. Dont explain what the reasoning behind the procedures as almost like us southerners are too ignorant to understand and then gets upset when you question him about it.

I'm a lung cancer survivor with post thorocotomy pain syndrome. Dr Beretta and his staff have helped me with the utmost professionalism, compassion and high quality care. They are always warm and friendly. I'm grateful for Dr Beretta and his awesome staff, too!

I have been using Dr Beretta since 2014. He is an excellent pain doctor. He gives me just enough pain meds so I can continue to work and support my family. I have had blocks from several doctors and his blocks are by far the best I have received.

3-15-17 called his office yesterday & they were very RUDE . Said I had my # blocked!? I don't even know how to block my phone. Could not get info &. Unable to drive to PELHAM ! Must be a mistake!? Now don't know what to do? Please call me if you'll know who this is, I'm in Pell City.... Don't understand at all, what's the issue?
