Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is efficient, professional, knowledgeable and has a friendly approach to problems. I have been a patient for over ten years and his treatment has given me a more pain free life. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help.

I give Dr. Paglia 1 star; 2nd star for nice office and staff. Appropriate pain management from Dr. Paglia was FUTILE. I have a 12.5 inch scar from an accident requiring 2 arm surgeries to replace shattered bone with a metal rod. That rod rubs/creates pressure against remaining natural bone, causes terrible pain there and down the entire side of my body. Monthly, Dr. Paglia would only prescribe pain medication for 21 days, sadistically REFUSED enough medication for every day of the month. WHAT INSANE REASONING IS THAT?

This is a long overdue review. Dr. Anthony Paglia has been my Doctor for 20 years. I was sent to him by my general practitioner, Dr. Lissa. I was in a really bad car accident and broke back in 6 places, broken neck, shoulder, it took a 16 hour surgery to pretty much put me back together. I suffer with pain everyday of my life. The first 3 years was kinda like a giving up period when you would do anything to ease the pain. This is probably what happens to people without the right help from a Doctor that I was blessed to be sent to. He did all the proper test, MRIS, Xrays, Blood Work Etc. He is a very Thorough Doctor. My journey with Dr.P did not end there, Over the 20 years with him, i have broken my wrist in a car door, and slipped 2 disc trying to sweep under my couch. Now we are dealing with Sciatica and wrist pain. and again Dr. P takes care of this too. He started epidurals and its very difficult to inject the injections in the right place. He is an expert at this. If not for his

I am not going to write a book about this clown , but I would like to warn those out there before they waste there time at this office,,,This Doctor is a real piece of work ,,,,Sneaky,,,Rude,,,Knows it all,,so don't tell him ! If you are taking a narcotic for pain before seeing him, his goal will be to take them away , he will prescribe every non narcotic pill there is under the stars to you, and when you are honest and tell him the pills he is prescribing to you are not helping, he will make you feel like a liar and it won't be long before he finds a reason to get rid of you,,,,this is his game plan for you. Good luck !!!l

Dr. Paglia is what a "doctor" should be. He is kind, gentle and explains exactly what he is doing while he is doing it, he makes sure he is not hurting you. He is the best and so glad God put him in my path. I tell him that God gave him "anointed hands". I give Dr. Paglia a 5* rating.

He's extremely gentle during my procedures and afterward, I feel much better. I highly recommend him to every one of my friends and family if they ever need an excellent pain doctor. His staff is exceptional! Thank you very much

Dr. Paglia is an excellent pain management doctor....he is an extremely straightforward, no-nonsense kind of doctor. He is there to help you with your pain and that's it. He is very busy and is under a lot of pressure so don't go asking him anything that doesn't pertain to your issues, he might bite back. That being said, I am so grateful that he has been able to resolve my neck issues and will gladly return as he knows what he is doing.

I went to see Dr Paglia June 5th 2018 for the 2nd time. He refused to answer 2 simple questions regarding the corticoid shot I was about to get. He simply flipped !!! Then I saw that other patients had tbe same experience: Dr Paglia gets very angry / flips out with patients who ask simple questions regarding the procedure as if we were questioning his judgement !!! He also gave me medication that made me quite sick - I threw up for 3 days and ended up in the ER. He was very angry I did not

From my first visit Dr Paglia was thorough in examining my problem and explaining what he could do to help my pain of Spinal Stenosis He painlessly and efficiently gave me the necessary 2 shots in my back to last me the one month without pain until my necessary operation. It Worked Beautifully--No pain at all. A few years later I had a herniated disk, and the surgeon suggested Dr. Paglia again instead of an opperation. Again---after 3 shots I had to pain for 9 months.

I will start with the Positive. If you respond well to epidural shots to your spine this doctor can help you. He has absolutely no problem billing your insurance as many times as possible for your back treatments. He has a personality that is kind of dual-sided. One time you go and he treats you well and seems interested and the next time he's in a bad mood and says something rude or unusual. Don't ever question his judgment or he will flip on you. Not open minded or compassionate.

I had the pleasure to have Dr. Paglia treat me for severe neck, back and arm pain after one visit almost no pain and after the second most of the pain was gone. Dr. Paglia was considerate informative and very helpful in seeing that I was given the best of service. His staff was efficient and courteous, all of my visits were on time. He was concerned with my health after his visits, and assisted me with other future medical options.
