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.

Great experience
I really like Dr. Dhesi. He is professional and uses a bit of humor to make you feel more at ease, which I appreciate . Injections were not at all painful and helped quite a bit. Granted , it was only a week ago but I feel a lot of relief already. I would definitely recommend him .

After being reassured there would be a new doctor to replace him , I was called to tell me that St Clair has no doctors who can do the medical procedure I had been tested, approved and waited for. Now I'm left starting over and looking for another pain management provider.

Dr. Dhesi rushed me through my appointment and was unresponsive to calls and messages in the days following. I received no valuable information during this visit. He is not in the right field to help patients needing this type of care.

He basically accused me of being an addict and was drug seeking which is farthest from the truth. I live in constant pain due to several conditions. I would not recommend going here. I was blindsided and was speechless. His lack of empathy and professionalism was awful! I wish I had been more prepared so I could have defended myself better. I won't tolerate such treatment in the future.

My experience was the worst I've ever had with any health care provider. Extremely rude office personnel also. I had, the first of three neck procedures, within a few day my neck became very swollen and extremely painful, by Wednesday following the procedure. I called the clinic for advice on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, before 4th of July weekend. No one returned my call until Monday. The pain, swelling and overall misery over a five day period is something nobody should have to endure. I am 60 years old, have never abused medication. My valid concerns and several attempts for guidance regarding post procedure side effects should not have been treated with such disregard for patient care. Unfortunately, everyone from the extremely unprofessional office staff, to the doctor who did the procedure, will be paid for their contribution(s) to my post surgery misery. In reality, I should be paid for the "experience " instead.

Poor.. be careful, drug screening, tests were mixed up between patients verified by blood test (at the innocent patients cost) resulting the patient that had the clean test being denied treatment do to the wrong positive drug test being attached to the wrong patient, staff were not willing to do the blood test as proof and had the patient leave terminating care do to their (the doctors) mistake.

Wost experience only wants to do injections even if they do not help help with pain reduction. Find some one else he only wants to provide addiction treatment not pain relief. This is not a pain clinic only torment. Do not ask any questions you may get screamed at and then a big phony smile???

Very competent provider. Relaxed attitude, and demeanor. Suggests, and explains available treatments, but doesn't push you to schedule them until you ask. Highly skilled with injections. Just a very pleasant person in general.
