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.

He believes me. Treated me like he cares ordered appropriate tests to diagnose issues. Did not treat me like a criminal or liar or drug seeker as most doctors have in past few years. He listens

Claimed they took my insurance. Drove all the way on the other side of Memphis to be told that they do not take my insurance, but they knew my deductible by charging my credit card.

First impressions are lasting impressions. Dr Kangas has an excellent bed side manner. I was very nervous coming in the clinic as I had been with my prior Dr for 14+ years. Dr. Kangas listened to me, explained things to me, developed a plan of care that I felt comfortable with.

Everyone in the Southaven office is very professional, caring and friendly. Dr Kangas is really an exceptional and caring doctor. Between he and Brooke, the physician assistant, they do everything possible to keep my pain level at a manageable level. I am very happy they have an office in Southaven, and I would not want to go to a different pain management center.

Great Pain Doctor
Dr Kansas had reviewed all of my scans and procedures prior to my 1st appointment. He came up with a solution to my pain that other doctors had missed. He is the absolute best doctor that has given me injections for my hip pain. His bedside manner is equally impressive as his skill with procedures.

Proper scheduling made the overall visit flow smoothly. Very little time waiting in lobby or in room waiting for doctor. Dr Kangas knowledge of my medical Hx and previous testing made it clear he thoroughly reviewed my file prior to my assessment. Overall, extremely high rating of my experience.

Dr. Kangas is the best ever
Dr. Kangas is the best ever. He is the most knowledgeable, professional and friendly DR. I have ever encountered with and the same thing can be said about his staff in Southaven. They are way ahead of any pain clinic I have visited. They are more than just a pill mill like others in Southaven. They actuallly listen to you and have the diagnostic equipment to pinpoint your cause of pain and will devolope an individual treatment plan for you. I do not have enough characters left on this review to tell you all of the positive things about him and his staff, so I will just leave it right here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEEING DR. KANGAS IF YOU NEED PAIN MANAGEMENT! 5 STAR ALL DAY 24/7
