Optimal Pain & Regenerative Medicine

Dr Michael Phillips knows what he's doing... He found things on my MRI that the other doctors never said anything about it... I am so glad I had to leave due insurance issues. God has really blessed to be referred to Dr Phillips.

As a former patient of Dr. Cottingham (a previous partner of the practice that moved to a different state - pretty much the kindest doctor I have ever had), I didn't necessarily feel beholden to staying on as a patient within the Optimal Pain practice. After asking several nurses at a couple of surgery centers around town (I was having surgery due to other, unrelated health issues), I was greatly encouraged. Every nurse had positive things to say about Dr. Berlin both personally and professionally - which was not necessarily true for every doctor about whom I inquired with the nurses (lol). I decided to schedule and was able to get in to see his PA, Shawnda, within 2 or 3 days. She was kind, attentive, thorough, & genuinely listened to me; she made me feel as though I had a voice. I have counterintuitively found, that empathy and compassion are not always standard in a pain management doctor's office. But Shawnda immediately sent an emergency referral to a surgeon of MY choice, so that I could get in ASAP. I appreciate that Shawnda recognized that there was no point in me wasting more time and money to come back to see Dr. Berlin for him to give the same opinion as hers... again - doing what was right for me rather than fleecing my insurance company (and me) for the cost of another office visit. When the surgeon I ORIGINALLY chose did not work out for me, Dr. Berlin's office did not write me off as someone else's problem. His medical assistant, Paige, worked quickly to get me in to see another surgeon. While I still have not seen Dr. Berlin - my mom (who was also a Cottingham patient) has had a couple of procedures with him. She has only good things to say and has been very happy under his care. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me for the efficiency & care of the staff; ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Dr. Berlin from my mom!

I have been coming here for a very long time and I have never had anything but the best care from all that work here. This is a very clean, and well run office with nothing but professional's. I would not go any where else. They have helped me be able to do things that I couldn't for a long time. Spinal injections, neck and wrist injections too.
