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.

Extremly Kind Dr and Staff
I changed from another pain clinic that I couldn't even speak to , ask questions and would be 1 of 100 patients in the office. Dr. Kuchera actually listens, talks to me and allows me to ask questions and doesn't make you feel like a number on a chart. I couldn't be more with the change and would recommend him to anyone who needs help with pain care.

This Doctor CARES!
Dr. Jay Kuchera is extremely knowledgeable, relatable, and kind. He truly cares about the well-being of his patients, both physically and mentally, and immediately put me at ease. He validated my feelings, acknowledged that my pain was real, and gave excellent advice & help. I would recommend Dr. Jay to anyone dealing with long-term chronic pain, he is amazing.

Horrible
Horrible… I had to come back after not even seeing the doctor a week ago. And spend more money for another copay I then get there and was blind sided by an addiction doctor who was showing me all these things he had done or written and treated me like I was some type of addict when in no way shape or form I am. I was in an extreme amount of pain and still am and all the doctor was worried about was his presentations. I will not be back and I do not recommend anyone going to this practice all they do is drag you around instead of trying to help you. Horrible practice

Fantastic doctor
I had the pleasure of meeting the doctor this morning, and I am really relieved to know that I will soon be getting some relief from the pain that I’ve had with prostate radiation therapy. I didn’t want to start taking opiates for my condition and the doctor has started me on a medication that he feels will help me. I feel relieved that he also knows my urologist Dr Borland .

Very much he spends time with
He spends time with me and cares. He is willing to explore all options for my pain.There is a big problem with my insurance. Anthem blue cross blue shield does not pay for urine test and the price is a whopping $240!!! I can't pay this which leaves few options for me. I can't work and only have social security and can't afford this!!! Please do something about this!!!

Doctor Who cares
Today was my first day visiting the doctor. And I was very impressed with him took the time to listen to my problems. He took the time to explain what the MRI said and show me what it was talking about. He really cared about my pain and how we could make it better. I have health insurance, but he’s not on my plan to me. It was worth spending the money to go to a doctor that cares and to go one of these pain clinics that they just wanna run you through like cattle.

Too long of a wait for scheduling procedure
My experience is very frustrating. I have had an epidural and two facet procedures, On Sep. 11, I called to set up appointment for a RFA. I was told I would be called to schedule it. I have called three more times and have not received any response from your scheduling department. I am in pain, most days 8,or 9, have difficulty walking and would appreciate treatment as soon as possible. The last facet lasted only 45 days. i have had to take Ibuprophen very ofter and I know it may cause bleeding or ulcers.

Highly recommend
Dr. Kuchera, LISTENED! To my son! He knew and understood the pain my son was going through, he not only took the time to read about my son’s condition and his medical history but he also listened to him with respect and dignity. He took his time explaining everything like NO other pain management doctor has ever explained, he never made my son feel like he was there for the pain medication, like other Doctors have made him feel and deprived him from getting the proper treatment. Dr. Kuchera, is a pure example of how every Doctor should treat their patients, with Compassion, Care, understanding, Empathy, non judgmental. It’s so hard to find a good doctor, especially in this field because most are so quick to judge the patient and not take the time to do what this doctor did for my son. He is so knowledgeable and made us so aware of so many things that I never realized before. I left his office with my son today knowing and at peace that my son is in good hands with his care.
