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.

Thorough and Patient Doctor
By the time you need a pain specialist, you have already been through a lot. I am grateful to be working w/ Dr. Desmarais. Dr. Desmarais listened thoroughly, carefully, and empathetically to my history and my experiences and developed a well-rounded treatment plan. He and his staff worked to get me pricing, insurance, and scheduling options for potential procedures and sought to get me in for the procedure as quickly as possible! Also his appointment and procedure schedule seem to have a lot more availability than others in this specialty around town. A few cons about the location - If you have mobility issues, know it's a long walk from the parking garage. Also, a pain clinic should have more comfort-focused exam room furniture - I have to be laying down to manage my pain, chairs don't work for me.
