Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible pain management doctor. His only concern was how quickly he could ween me off my perscibed opiate medication. Which is the only thing that helps with my chronic back pain. Plus he did not have any suggestions for a reasonable alternative solution for a non opioid pain relief option. I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy.

Nice, very friendly Dr., but more concerned with opioid prescribing "guidelines" than what actually works for the patient. The guidelines aren't laws. After all hollistic avenues failed, I was referred to Pain Management decades ago. Pain management is referred to patients who may have the need to be prescribed opiate pain medications over an extended period of time,or even for the remainder of their lives. Although mine and many other peoples last resort, it works. When something actually works for a persons pain and suffering, and helps improve their quality of life, it's no time to cut back their medications because of a guideline that isn't law. The so-called "opioid crisis" is something more applicable to the use of street drugs rather than those of us who have legitimate injuries and have gone though all the proper channels to recieve care. One of a Dr's main oaths is to relieve pain and suffering. Not create it.

About Me

care philosophy

Dr. Jaber understands when a patient is in pain. Pain doesn't always show on an x-ray, and he will work together with patients to find the source and a solution.

biography

I started my career as an anesthesiologist helping people who suffered from acute pain after surgery. During this time, I realized how little we as a society understand about pain. Even among healthcare professionals, it can be hard to quantify...read more
