  Wonderful. If positive, will share results with friends. Fibromyalgia BE GONE!
  This is nearly 2 months later and I can honestly say that this treatment is the best ever. Apparently this procedure has been around for 100 years! It got lost along the way somehow but I am so thankful for it now. This Fibromyalgia has plagued me for over 25 years. My pain level has dropped from a 9/10 to a 6/7. I tell all my friends whenever I get s chance. Happy to hear fibromyalgia is NOT a form of arthritis. Cortisone would help that but wouldn't help at all with fibro.
  If you have fibromyalgia, go see Dr. Greenspoon! I got a referral from my family Dr.

  I had a very good first appt, Dr Greenspoon was very kind, helpful and offered good suggestions and treatment options to try to treat and resolve the cause of my pain. I wish I had known about Dr Greenspoon sooner!!

  I was referred to Dr Greenspoon for my fibromyalgia. I have suffered for more than 10 years. After seeing him for the past 2 months I now feel 90% better. Less pain, more mobility, better mood , better sleep and even my memory has improved. I can't thank Dr Greenspoon enough. He has changed my life ! I highly recommend him to anyone in chronic pain. He is wonderful, kind , listens and cares.

  I was referred by family Doctor to see Dr Greenspoon for chronic pain management. I was somewhat sceptical at first as I had seen so many pain specialists before which had not helped.
  He was courteous , patient, and really understanding. He explained everything to me in a way that made sense. Pain is like an electrical loop which can become endless. He explained how he can do a simple injection that can break the loop with a freezing shot and when the pain restarts it is of lower intensity. With a series of these he can try to turn down the volume dial and relieve the pain.
  
  I have now had a series of 6 in my lower back that has reduced the pain by over 60%. I am very grateful. He has been really helpful !
  I highly recommend him to everyone with chronic pain !

  Absolutly most horrendous treatment of someone that is admitting they are sick and need help. I phoned this clinic asking what i need to do/bring/ and when i needed to go to the clinic. they said we close at 4, come at 3 tommorow and well get you on methadone right away. so i drive all the way down there and they tell me the doctors gone home and i should comeback tommorow anytime before 2 oclock and ill be fine. so i come back again the next day (fitting this into a shedule, but am desperate) i showup this time at 12:50 and am told "the doctor is busy with patients today can you come back tommorow, i know we told you 2 oclock i dont know why she said that, really sorry"
  so unless i wante to continue to be a slave over the weekend and monday , i had to go on friday because theyre not open until tuesday. so i showup at 11ish and get in, i see the counsellor fill out all the stuff, open up and answer personal questions, then i go take a urine sampe and see a doctor. well for some reason my prescription medication, and my street opiates did not showup in 2 urine sampes in 6 cups, and then she told me it showed methadone, which is impossible unless the sample had been contaminated. i havnt taken a drop of methadone in years. i was ultimatly called a liar, accused of using fake urine or someone elses for whatever reason i would do that for. i even showed them my street drugs and injection marks. but they said i was simply trying to manipulate them for methadon to get high.
  
  im a opiate addict in chronic pain, i came back 3 days straight and came in admitting im hopeless and need help and am sick and answer these questions about my life and they spit in my face. thats 4 days and 70 dollars worth of gas i wasted when hunting season is almost over. Appauled. I would not recomend this clinic, my doctor has further refered me to VI pain clinic. oh, i also had family doctor referal for methadone.
  
  i would give 0 stars but in order to post, i had to give one.
  
  dont waste your time.
