Dear Dr. Teller,


Prior to being treated at the Art of Pain Management, I had been in pain for three years. My neck pains prohibited me from standing for long periods of time. I could not be on my feet for more than a half hour.


After receiving a few injections in my cervical, I’m proud to say that I’m now able to work and stand for periods of five to six hours without experiencing any pain whatsoever.


I thank the Doctors and staff at the Art of Pain Management for helping me enjoy life free of pain. I will and have referred friends and family.


Thanks again,
A.M
