PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTER

I feel she really cares about me.

2024-09-12
PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTER

She takes her time, never rushes, asks and listens to any and all concerns and how you are doing. She doesn't just say ¿this is what we're going to do,¿.¿ When it comes to treatment plan instead she gathers all info she needs to make a plan and then discusses it with you and sees what you think and if you have any questions or concerns about the treatment plan she takes the time to listen and go over things with you to make sure you really get and understand what she she wants to do for treatment, how she's going to do it and why she's going to do it. For example she might say that she's going to raise how much medicine the pump is putting out to see if that would take care of a pain issue and if you don't feel a certain way within a certain period or you have some issue with the new setting then she'll have you come back to discuss it and then decide if the pump needs another change or not and what not. I would recommend her to any body. I'd give her a 10 out of 5 stars.

2024-02-08
PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTER

I have been a patient of Sue's for 15 years. It would take pages to describe how knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating she has been. I have 8 different health care providers and am disabled both mentally and physically'Sue is the only one who sits down at every visit and goes through each of my health problems and all my prescriptions and OTC meds. She includes me in my care and lets me know when there is leeway on the dosage. For example, I get migraines, and often I only get one chance to take a pill before I start throwing up. So she says, ¿take half a tablet, but if you feel like you need it take a full one.¿ But she is also very careful about dosages and safety. She keeps a close eye on what I get from my other doctors and has lowered my pain medicine when other doctors have increased the dosages of other controlled substances. Since not ODing is a good thing, I appreciate this and highly recommend Sue's services.

Thank You for the opportunity to speak of my experiences with Susan Basta.. I have been and am extremely satisfied with the Care She has given me..

I was suicidal when I first saw Susan, she treated me with kindness and helped me to get control of the pain I was in. She never tried to minimize the pain I was in but with medications and other tools she gave me the will to live. I still suffer from chronic pain but she always does her best to help me with other things besides the meds that can give me some more relief. She literally saved my life.

Excellent provider! I appreciate her kindness and professionalism! Great to meet via tele- health, since its painful to get up to pain clinic, and most of all I see to many doctors. Every week I all my limited energy is hurting my Heath. I see too many doctors weekly, I already have pain , Im handicapped, and cant drive due to crippled hands. Its overwhelming and causes far to much stress. For me, its much easier to go to virtual appointments. Some doctors must be seen in person. But more virtual appointments are requested!
