- Healthgrades user review"Pain management department is all about getting the maximum number of patients through the door. Both the doctors and nurses are not very empathetic about what is is like to live with chronic, debilitating pain."
- A-Better-Place user review"A new survey of patients at one of the largest health care conglomerates in the Hudson Valley is highlighting increasing concerns about the company’s quality of care... patients are highly critical of the practice’s quality and accessibility of care, as well as billing problems and customer service."
