I have been going to another pain management clinic for a very long time, being promised many things with no follow through and not doing what they said they were going to do. This is a wonderful experience this far and I am very hopeful.

Dr. Prakken's office lost power due to Hurricane Debby so to keep my appt, he drove home to use his personal computer instead of cancelling my appt! I was very surprised and grateful!!!

I LOVE the Drs. and my previous therapist (who kinda left out of nowhere). Front desk has two receptionist, but only one seems to be working. Other one is ALWAYS on a personal call. Not the most professional. My Ketamine injector makes me feel anxious and rushed, more so on Thursdays. Otherwise, Drs. Prakken and Mullet (Spravato Dr.) are awesome. I would recommend those two to my friends.

Deb, Brandon and Carlie are second to none when it comes to patient care. They have solid expertise and empathy for their patients.

I wish my doctor was MUCH more understanding of why I get into bad bad situations with my meds. I’m not a criminal, and I wish I wouldn’t be treated like one, or worse, like a child. :/

I cannot say enough about how exceptional Dr. Prakken was as a physician. His compassion, expertise, and genuine care made every visit reassuring, and I deeply miss his presence in my medical care. In stark contrast, my experience with his replacement, Dr. Marks, has been nothing short of a disaster. This new doctor’s approach is shockingly dismissive and reckless. I’m not exaggerating when I say he sent me to the hospital due to his negligence—it was a terrifying ordeal that could have been avoided. I’ve taken the step of f... read more

The sum total of my 'screening' was having PA Kanisha Wint read the *exact same* questions that I answered on my intake form and have answered several times to other medical professionals. When I tried to add additional context or share more about my symptoms, I was met with dismissal and apparent boredom. It is clear that my 'treatment plan' is based on nothing about me or my circumstances, but is instead a wrote, automatic response to an ADHD evaluation. In addition to the appallingly low quality of care that I received,... read more
