Patient Reviews
Jun 29, 2025
I suffer from severe pain in my joints and muscles. My hands have become disfigured, joints have become stiff and my muscles are sore and weak. Dr. R has explained to me my condition and diagnosis. He also advised me that I could benefit from going to pain management for pain medication.I told Dr R that I refuse to take the pain medication because I didn’t want to get hooked on them. Dr R explained that I would benefit greatly by taking them for pain. Dr R, you suggested that I take pain pills. I would feel real good feel nothing at all and that’s when addiction comes into play and I can’t even imagine.I will stick to hot baths inEpson salt and the other bandaids. I will enjoy the good days and take the rest with gratitude for what abilities that I have and press through the pain.Dr. R is very knowledgeable, patient , direct and I recommend him to people I know that suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and any inflammatory diseases.
