| Patient Testimonials |
The following is a reproduction of some of the testimonials from the vast spectrum of patients that Premier Pain Institute treats successfully. Only the initials of these patients have been provided for patient confidentiality.
Name: D.M.M. | Pain Treated: Back Pain
"I was in severe pain despite having 6 back surgeries and I had no quality of life. Then my wife's employer, who had also been treated by Dr. Vengurlekar, introduced me to him. Dr. Vengurlekar, after an evaluation and meticulous diagnostic procedures, decided that I needed an implantable pump, which he implanted in me. For the last 6 years I have been virtually free of pain, I also have a new baby, and although I am still crippled from all those surgeries, at least I have regained a quality of life."
Name: B.F. | Pain Treated: Neck Pain and Headaches
"As the wife of a doctor I had suffered from intractable neck pain and headaches for several years. I have been seen by multiple physicians, but to no avail. I was referred to Dr. Vengurlekar by a neurologist, and after 3 treatments, my neck pain and headaches have been completely relieved, and I have been pain free for the past year, after Dr. Vengurlekar performed a radio frequency procedure on my head and neck."
Name: B.H. | Pain Treated: Back Pain and Post Surgical Pain
"I have had 20 back surgeries and after having undergone these surgeries I continued to have intractable back pain. The spine surgeons who operated on me did not want to see me anymore, and told me that the pain was all in my head. Dr. Vengurlekar made an assessment and diagnosed me to have arachnoiditis and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and he performed a procedure on me, and my pain has been controlled by 70%. I still have residual pain, but now life is livable."
Name: G.H. | Pain Treated: Wrist Pain
"I sustained a fracture of the wrist bones. Following the resolution of the fracture I continued to have severe intractable pain. My orthopedic surgeon thought I was crazy but by chance I was referred to Dr. Vengurlekar by a neurologist. Dr. Vengurlekar immediately diagnosed RSD and following a radio frequency procedure on my sympathetic nerve tracts my pain has been completely resolved. I am now pain free, I have regained the function of my hand, and I am not dependent on any medications which were making me goofy anyway."
Name: H.H. | Pain Treated: Post Surgical Pain
""
Name: R.C. | Pain Treated: Herniated Disc Pain
"I was diagnosed with a herniated disc and I was referred to a spine surgeon who wanted to operate on me. Then I ran into a friend who was treated by Dr. Vengurlekar, so I decided to go see him. Dr. Vengurlekar performed selective root injections on me, and my pain has been controlled by 95%. I have no weakness or pain in my leg, and best of all, I avoided a surgery which I did not need."
Name: D.T. | Pain Treated: Abdominal Pain
"I began to have serious abdominal pain on the right side. I underwent numerous examinations and was seen by numerous specialists including Gastroenterologists, and performed gall bladder surgery on me, which I did not need. I was then referred to Dr. Vengurlekar who diagnosed me to have Rectus Abdominis Syndrome, a condition which affects the abdominal wall. Dr. Vengurlekar performed certain procedures on me, and my pain has been completely controlled. In the last 5 years, Dr. Vengurlekar has only had to perform these procedures twice, and I am free of any medications."
Name: R.S. | Pain Treated: Sports Injury Pain and Back Pain
" I began to have severe back pain two years ago following a minor sport injury. I went through eight different physicians including an orthopedic surgeon, a neurologist and a physical medicine rehab specialist. I underwent multiple types of testing, including x-rays, MRIs and electrical testing, of my back and leg muscles. I was also put through several months of physical therapy. Despite religiously pursuing and following through with all the instructions and the multiple medications, my back pain progressed to the point, that I lost my job, and day to day living became very difficult. I, then in desperation went to a neuro surgeon, who referred me to Dr. Vengurlekar, since the neuro surgeon felt that open surgery on my spine would probably result in more severe pain and disability. Dr. Vengurlekar performed his minimally invasive interventions and determined that I was an excellent candidate for a decompression Nucleoplasty in which procedure, a special probe is introduced into the disk and a tiny core of the center of the disk is vaporized. From the time that I was referred to Dr. Vengurlekar and to the completion of the procedure and after a 10 day rest, I was back at my job being fully productive. Because of Dr. Vengurlekar's skill and expertise, I was restored to my pain free existence in the society. Dr. Vengurlekar is not only an excellent physician, but he really cares and strives hard to improve the quality of his fellow human beings." |
