Dr. Lance Cassell, MD

I was told if you refuse the shots your out of luck. No pain meds for me. Most uncaring doctor I have ever met in my life. The almighty dollar rules here.

he seems genuinely caring. the PT he sent me for was very helpful

I have been to many many doctors and most doctors think they know what I need but Dr Cassell listens and understands my needs. Very knowledgeable and total cares about my well being. I tell everyone about what a great doctor he is.

This doctor treated me like a piece of garbage. Went here from VA community care and now it all makes sense. He didn't examine me, asked me 3 or 4 questions and then immediately says to me I am not prescribing long term opiate medication. I was floored. He made me feel like I was some junkie coming in off the street... He has copies of my MR I's and all my records showing all of the things that are wrong with my back and why I'm in pain. Who on Earth goes to a pain clinic and begs for injections into their spine? The reason for my visit was injections into my lower back. I have never abused a medication in my entire life and I also hold a master's degree in a mental health discipline and have served as a drug and alcohol counselor. Just the fact that he said that to me and and he didn't ask any of the right questions about what's going on with my pain. I left there crying hysterically still in pain only to go to the ER, again, just like when I go to the VA. THANKS FOR NOTHING.

I have been a Licensed healthcare professional for 25 years in Sarasota. I would not take my Dog to this physician. Worst I have ever met out of hundreds I have worked with and seen for my own health issues.

Was a patient of his for years while living in Florida. 100% the best pain management dr in the area. If you are a drug seeker you are looking in the wrong place. Dr cassell can and does weed those people out and will truly help those who have bigger issues than an opiod addiction. He will give you the time you need in the office to listen to your issues and send you for the testing you need. His staff is amd was always great to me and tim is as good as he is. I miss them! Great Practoce!

Was a patient for about a year. Did nothing but prescribe drug after drug ... highly don’t recommend.

I've been seeing Dr. Cassell and his NP, Mary Soccia for the last year. The office is broken. A doc or NP orders a medicine that your insurance company requires authorization. You would think that would happen in a day, maybe two. I am on 9 days without medication and counting. I've called this office 4 times in the last 5 days. Sent 2 e-mails. I get the the same run around. Asked if I could speak to the practice manager, nope, cannot do that. Asked to have the provider call me back, nope, cannot do that either. What they hiding? Next stop, an attorney. Do yourself a favor, just don't go to anything related to Surgery Centers, Inc. You will get the same treatment everywhere since this is corporately owned. And you can't even find information on that company either.

Dr. Cassell lacks courage, humility, and compassion. He is set in his ways and treats chronic pain through a 'one size fits all' lens. Additionally, receiving help (even just a callback from his nurse) between your scheduled appointments can be near impossible at times.

He refused to prescribe OPIOID. He said :"no way to find out in Florida doctor,who will do that, Absolutely wasting time and money

Please be very leary of this company. I walked in and was immediately handed a cup for a urine sample before I did anything else. Did that, sat down and filled out some forms. Doctor came in and spent about 4 minutes with me and stared at the computer and talked to thee girl taking notes in the room. Asked me about my pain and then wanted to know if I would like him to prescribe narcotic pain medicine. I told him no. He offered no other relief or any type of explaination. Today I received a notice in the mail from the lab where they sent my sample. They billed Blue Cross $2400 for a lab test for the sample!!! Nobody explained anything to me and of course they want more deductible. THIS SEEMS LIKE IS A SCAM!!! So disappointed in this Dr. and company. Please find other. I wish I would have looked at his reviews before I went there.

waited 2 weeks for an apoointment. my first time seeing him. He asked me nothing about the pain I have been enduring, spent 3 minutes with me and ended it with "would you like me to prescribe opiods". So disappointing, I understand now why 40% of his reviews are 1 star. Does not look at you, only looks into the computer. Find another doctor if you are suffering.

Great! Professional, accurate, empathetic and understanding. Good eye contact, listens to the patient with a caring attitude and though with his assessment of the patient.

If you are looking for Opiods, he is your man. If you are looking for a curative treatment, keep looking. Very efficient office -- come in. pee in the cup, get your Rx and move on.

Dr. Cassell is always caring, attentive and well informed regarding my particular situation. He is very approachable and answers any questions or concerns presented. The staff is the BEST. You get a feeling of family from each of them.

Oustanding I would highly reccomend Dr. Cassell as well as office staff. He is patient, kind and knowledgeable.

I have been doctor cassell's patient for a year now . He is a excellent doctor . Takes his time to listen. If u have a problem all you have to do is tell him. He will work with u. Very honest and caring doctor. I would and have recommended him to others . Dina L

This doctor doesn't care much about what the patient has to go through. You see I am on heavy narcotics and i need to cut them back. Well this is done by tapering down the dosage over time, he stoped me from taking M S contin all together, this will put me in withdrawal. I have been taken this medication for aprox 5 years now. From past experience with other doctors this is not the way a compationate doctor does it. I will get very ill and end up in a hospital. Go to a carrying Dr. Not this 1

Dr. Cassell is one of the most personable doctors I have ever been to In My Life. His bedside manners are second to none. He cares about not just myself but my family my situation in life but most importantly my pain. I could not recommend him more as a physician he and his staff are grade A.

he and the staff is or was the greatess, I hope this new change wont change.
