I have been in a lot of pain for many years and resisted going to a pain center. Perhaps, I felt it was almost a stigma. This was until I finally took the advice of my urologist and made the appointment. Big step for me! I had to forget about my being a psychologist and admit I now needed help. From the first time I entered the Pain Management Group I felt welcome. Everyone of the people who work there go that extra mile and do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. Aside from being pleasant and taking time to obtain a proper history, they are warm and in NO hurry. I understand pain from a neuropsychological framework but not from the medical expertise exhibited by all the physicians, advanced practice nurses and physician assistants at PMG. \r

I am taking time to share this with anyone in pain! Please make an appointment with Dr. Leone or one of his staff. I usually do not refer patients as I feel it is a commitment and one I take seriously. In my clinical and personal judgment, this will be the best thing one in pain can do to help themselves. Do not put it off and make the appointment. I know you will agree with me and hopefully pay it forward so that no one we know and care about has to live in pain. Thanks to all of you.
