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.

Rejected
I had 1 visit with Dr. Boyagi, who offered a nerve block. I had recently been thru a kyphoplasty and broken arm and needed time to heal more. The dr. Refilled my meds and thru his office Mgr, told me to find another doctor, as he doesn't mange pain medications or offer physical therapy or other more conservative treatments or referrals. It was the nerve block or discharge. I was discharged, told to come back when I'm ready to have a nerve block done. This dr. Is not a pain management doctor...he is a wannabe surgeon. Pain management is a highly incorrect label for his field. Too many of these pseudo 'pain mangement 'drs.

Dr Shafik Boyaji @ Innovative Pain and Wellness
I was in severe pain the first time I went to Dr Boyaji. From the moment he walked into the exam rm I could feel his confidence. (He ordered an x-ray and MRI) He accurately diagnosed my problem and was able to relieve my pain. That was only one of several painful issues I've had over the years. I have Osteoarthritis in my spine. Today Dr Boyaji performed radio frequency ablation for my neck pain for the second time. My first ablation worked extremely well! Ever so slowly the pain became worse and so after more than a year of relief, not uncommon, I went back, and so glad I did. It got to where I could barely turn my neck without turning my entire body to avoid the pain. Now, as with the first procedure I can turn my head pain free again.What a blessing his skills are! No matter where your pain is please make an appointment with Dr Boyaji.I would give him more than 5 stars if I could, MY pain Doctor for life, indeed!

Dr. B REALLY listens!
We sought out Dr B for my husband’s severe pain pain (he had already lost 30 lbs in 5 weeks and wasn’t eating). I was pretty sure of the cause but couldn’t get his Mayo Neuro team on board even though though they had no explanation or treatment plan despite multiple CT scans, MRIs and a brain biopsy. Dr. B listened intently, examined my husband, considered his extensive facial/ head cancer surgeries and arrived at the same conclusion I did-nerve pain. He increased the current dosage of gabapentin and within 2 days, the pain was lessened. After 1 week it is almost gone. I’m starting to see my husband’s fun personality come back after 6 weeks of agony. Thank you Dr. B for listening and putting the pieces together so quickly!

Dr. B is AWESOME!
Dr. B just became my new pain management doctor and he’s great! His bedside manner is everything I need in a doctor since I have horrible anxiety. He did my permanent spinal cord stimulator surgery almost a week ago and I can’t stress enough that I was made very comfortable and at ease the day of the procedure and that I can’t wait to see awesome results! I’m also hoping that he can get my fibromyalgia under control as well, but if anyone can it’s Dr. B!

Professional kind man
Dr Boyaji is the most professional kind wonderful person and doctor I have met. He kept me and my husband informed the process that would be conducted during my surgery and followed up after in recovery and in after care with additional information. He provided me with a feeling of safety after several spinal surgeries where I had been treated like an animal or a dollar sign. I would recommend Dr Boyaji to my own family. He is amazing.

I appreciated how Dr. B explained my upcoming Boston Scientific SCS. He was very clear regarding the location of my implant. Dr. B was prepared to meet with me.

I am looking forward to my surgery!
