I feel very close to my doctor and feel that he truly is trying to make my life more meaningful and works with me to be all that I can be under my circumstances. he follows the guidelines that are given him and always try's to work out my predicaments with me. I'm very greatful for him. He really is truly a great caring doctor. there are not many like him. I'm not just another problem person I'm a human being. that means sooo much to me.

Wait time in patient room after nurse/MA check in was a little longer than normal, but not a huge deal. As for the facility/building. The disabled parking on the roof is uncovered, which is awful for when the weather is bad. Disabled people move the slowest and if it's raining, that means they're going to get drenched. Who thought this was a good idea? Disabled parking spots should be near the elevators undercover and protected from the harsh weather elements.

I have been dealing with back pain since having numerous back surgeries beginning in 2000. Dr Schrattenholzer is by far the most knowledgeable pain management specialist I have seen, and I've seen multiple specialist regarding my back pain. He explained various pain medications and how he felt they would specifically help me. He developed a trial to see what medication would best reduce my back pain and we were able to find pain medication that has greatly reduced my back pain. I've only seen Dr Schrattenholzer twice but during those times he listened to my questions and answered them in a way that I could easily understand. He also seemed to genuinely care about my pain level and wanted to select a course of action that would manage it. I would highly recommend him to family, friends and anyone who is trying to manage their chronic pain.

Dr. Schrattenholzer managed treatment for pain for back, neck, spine. He always very concerned, thorough in reviewing all methods to live a minimal pain free life. He changed my life once I went to him. Before I felt depressed and no confidence... He validated me and what I was dealing with. Helped with various exercises, methods to help. Very KIND man! & great doctor.

Dr Schrattenholzer is my pain specialist. He has been treating my chronic back pain due to arthritis. That pain and some additional issues have returned. Dr. Schrattenholzer is the best. He always listens to me and examines me and listens to me again. He has helped me in the past, and I am sure he will do so this time. He keeps me informed on everything that is going on and thoroughly explains any procedures he wants to do and the outcome he hopes to achieve. He takes into account my thoughts and feelings and is always sure to be aware of what I think and feel. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family if the need arose.

The medical assistant did not tell me my weight or blood pressure. After I asked, she shared that with me.

Dr. Thomas is a compassionate doctor and is as empathetic as he knows how to be. I realize that there are constraints involved that he adheres to, but I also believe that he should be more aggressive in trying to help his patients find the relief that they need to live more fulfilling lives.

This is the second time I have been to this pain clinic, it has greatly improved. This time I don't feel like I am being treated like a drug addict off the streets and I am very thankful for that. I am pleased so far with the treatment and Dr. Strattenholzer has been great and I think we will go far with treatment.

I have been seeing Dr. Schrattenholzer for over three years. I have chronic pain ,and recently had shoulder surgery. Dr, listens and is very compassionate. Hhe takes the time that you need and answers all my questions. he works together with you to formulate a plan going forward and just always makes sure you are ok. great Dr.The only thing I will say is the receptionist could be a bit more pleasant and warm. I do not get that feeling when I check in or out.
