Testimonials

Very professional, explained everything where I could understand and nice and respectful

Very good!

Mason came in room and treated me like a junky. I have had 3 surgeries,fusions and rods,plates and screws in my back.he had a very cocky attitude and I was too young to have back problems. I’m 46 years old.he thinks he’s better than you and he’s perfect but you’re a loser.he causes depression and pain for people!!!

I was surprised at this health care practice. I came in thinking I was going to be grilled about the pain I was feeling and then would be given passive therapy. That didn’t happen

Staff are/is patient and professional.

Excellent care

They should do what you want them to do not what they want to do I’m the patient

Really love the way you all listen and care about me and others

Dr. Joseph took the time to answer all my questions. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

The 2 new medicines work well as long as I don't have to put anything against my back. Like getting dressed. The constipation is really bad. What could I take to help that. I take One Tylenol 3 in the morning and I take the Nortriptyline at night.

“Dr. Alice” was exercised an abundance of patience with my Mama. Thank you!

Dr. Kilday and team have changed my quality of life. He understands his medical area and is able to translate it into something that is easy to understand. My last provider only cared about the required checkboxes. Dr. Kilday and team care about treating my problems and finding solutions to help me live the most normal life possible. The quality of care and service is a life changer.

She very professional and experience. Also she will listen while you are talking about how you feel. But

I was happy with my interaction wit all of ghe associates at Alliance. Ms. Thames was very personable and she explained everything very clearly. She listened to me and gave me great advice.

I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Linda. She’s a great listener

I have been going to them for 14 yrs. Brandon is a very professional and knowledgeable PA. I would definitely recommend him as a provider. The rest of the staff at Aliance from Dr Gupta to the fine ladies working at check in and behind the scenes are wonderful! I can not say enough about how wonderful they operate as a team. If you need their services I would definitely recommend them to your provider to send you too them.

Thank You for all you do

Very positive energy

Dr. Cable is one of the best doctors I have met. Unlike most doctors, he really took time to listen to my story and was open to my opinions. He is compassionate and engaging. He makes you feel heard and that goes a long way for patients. This is one of the rare moments where I felt happy after leaving a doctor appointment. Also, I really loved the nurse I met with and the front desk. Everyone seems to actually care about providing a good experience for patients.

She was very compassionate understanding explained my symptoms I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much.

Professional. Listened to my concerns & addressed them satisfactorily. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Andrew Kilday was a professional and very concerned about my condition. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kilday

Excellent

Very informative, overall excellent.

I have been going to Charmaine for many many years and have always gotten first class service from her. In my opinion she is as close to a doctor as a PA can be.

Informarative

I love the whole staff!! They are so kind and always make you comfortable. Dr Opareke is the best he makes you at ease during procedures and office visits.

Dr. Miller is the best she listened to me about my pain all the staff is nice Except the Receptionist on the side where you check in to have a procedure this lady is not nice at all something is wrong with her she doesn't want you asking questions she gets upset very very easily something needs to be done about her Attitude. This attitude keep going every time I comes to the office it's only this one person. She doesn't want to talk or needs to talk to the Patience. I feel real degraded as a man. And she's able to talk to me like that . I never once raised my voice. I feel I'm not being heard here . I have spoken to the Supervisor Twice But nothing

I don’t want to sound overly dramatic but this for me was life changing. I am a 64 year old retired hairstylist . I am currently a caregiver for my 93 year old mom who has dementia. Though I had been to several different doctors in Atlanta the was very, very bad. There main concern was, I was a patient seeking drugs. On top of my severe pain and highly sensitive and stressful situation. I was losing hope. Didn’t know how I was gonna continue. This Dr. Andrew Kildare gave me the care that I desperately needed. He was thorough, he explained to me in detail and terms that I could understand. Most importantly he was kind and genuine. He gave me a solution . This is rare . I can’t believe I have found a good pain doctor in these times. I can’t thank you enough Dr Kilday. Now let’s fix this young ladies back !!!!

Great people here. Great service. Very thorough.

Very professional, nice, offers solutions

This Dr. Was amazing. He listened to everything I said and gave his suggestions. He was very knowledgeable about what I had been experiencing. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent people skills, knowledgeable on the subject problem areas. Friendly staff, helpful.

I have no problem with anyone in this office!! They all are very nice and professional at their jobs!!!! Doctor Stewart is a great Doctor! Melissa is very knowledgeable about her profession also!!! I can only thank them both for everything they’ve done for me over the years!!!!!!!

Dr. Joseph was very nice and knowledgeable and showed concern and listened to me.

Dr.Erin is a good doctor. She is concerned about her patients and answers all my questions to best of her knowledge. Easy to talk to. She listens attentively.

Linda Thames is amazing. She took time to listen to each concern and address it. I highly recommend her. I really hope she keeps coming to the Douglasville office.

Mrs. Rachel is a very compassionated and caring person who I'll always rely on her knowledge and expertise in her profession.

Always concerned, delightful and welcoming

I was in a lot of pain of my visit , I was treated very well and had an appointment in hours to rectify my issue. Thanks Rachel for listening being patient and getting me the help I needed.

Dr. Joseph is always prepared with suggestions of what would help you maintain and even lessen the pain level of your suffering. She offers procedures that might help you best but she doesn't tell you what to do. She gives you the information you need to have the most favorable outcome and guides you through what you need to do to reach the best results. Always positive, I would say she is motivational. I trust her knowledge and experience to give me the best care. I will continue to go to this practice because the entire team there is very kind and considerate. whenever you need help they take the time to attend to you.

This is the first time I saw Ms. Thames and she was very helpful. She seemed knowledgeable about my problems and took steps to help me address them.

Ashley is amazing and always helpful

Geno is wonderful. She listens to you and listen to my well. This is his wife answering for him and listens to me when I sit there and you don’t like to answer these surveys but he loves going in there. He loves to talk to you and y’all gave him a lot of relief and I appreciate it. Have a blessed day. I would prefer you to anyone.

Gina is very attentive listens to what you have to say. He’s very fine doctor nurse assistant what I meant to say I really like coming to this office. They seem to really care about how you feel.

I have been in pain but my follow up app wasn't til February. I called Wednesday and they worked me in. Linda was very caring. She did trigger injections. She was very careful with the needle and i feel so much better. The staff is always helpful and kind. They are the whole package.

Linda was pleasant

Nurse Linda was very professional, nice and easy to talk to.

She listens to you and goes over all your options and answers all your questions. She doesn’t rush you.

My experiences are very good. Ms Massey is always friendly and professional. Answers all of my questions. She doesn’t mind you asking questions always attentive and caring.

Everything was great

I would recommend D. Joseph highly she is very pleasant and accurate in her diagnosis, I am very proud to have her as my doctor.

Ashley is very knowledge and has lots of advice - love seeing her - she is the BEST!

Hat’s off to this dr she is the first dr in a year that recognizes my high blood pressure, an she’s trying a different approach to my pain relief.. thank you

Very happy. I'm an older woman who has been through lots. I appreciated that he actually got a game plan going and then put into play on our first visit. The staff was absolutely amazing they were kind and courteous and just as informative.

Listened to everything i had to say and didn't bury me at all

I felt she’s very compassionate and truly cares about her patients and that’s hard to find theses days. Even her nurse Very caring and professional! Highly recommend!

Linda Thames is, in my experience, the most knowledgeable, personable, kind and compassionate provider at Alliance. My mother has probably seen all of the providers here. Ms. Thames took the time to listen, explain and explore different options. The provider she saw last month stood for the 2 minutes she was with us, and didn't even walk into the room. She just stood at the door and it felt like there was no time to talk. All this to say that I wish Ms Thames was a permanent presence at our Douglasville location! She is just the best!

Very friendly, very knowledgeable and easy to work with would recommend him to anyone

Great Communications, all my questions and concerns were answered

Absolutely awesome!! So nice, professional, a treat to see. Best practitioner that I see

I’ve been a Patient at Alliance the past three years had my first visit yesterday with Dr Thames I really really like her a lot and think I will continue to see her. Hope she doesn’t leave the practice anytime soon

I love the care that I received. They help me in everything. Without ASP I don't know. They were the first Dr's to believe my pain. I love them all. Thank you so much. I fell I'm alive because of the love They give me with every visit.

Dr.Stewart is the best l’ve been to in many years. He is very through and l learned more about myself. Has a great personality and cares about his patients. Has a wonderful staff. Can’t wait for him to get me better.

Absolutely awesome! The front office staff are wonderful and ALWAYS pleasant. Dr. Arun fully listened to my concerns and I felt heard! He discussed my options and the approach we would take. I felt like I had a voice in my treatment! That’s Refreshing! I would definitely recommend him!

Dr Joseph is a great doctor, who cares, listens. Recommend his practice to anyone with pain… He gave me relief for the first time in 5 years… Thanks Dr J

She is kind and like a friend and will listen to and not hurry you out!! She’s Good with those injections!! And I’m also very blessed to have dr Malik!! They all are very professional but have time to listen and are keeping me out of pain! The office staf are so sweet and very supportive!Thanks to all at Aliance pain and spine!!

Dr listened to my concerns and explained various treatment options for my issue.

Dr Okpareke is the kind of doctor one would hope to have particularly when you have such a difficult problem to define like pain. He listens and actually hears. He’s worked tirelessly to find a way to treat my pain. I highly recommend him.

Everyone is very nice and caring .They all listen to patients and their concerns.

she is very through answers all questions and alternative soulutions

Great Doctors and staff.

Dr. Cable recognized where my pain was coming from and fixed it

Ms. Linda pulled up all my procedures that I had on my back and I told her of another place in my back that I have pain and she explained to me about that area and said I need injections in that area so I am scheduled for that procedure. Ms. Linda was very kind and caring.

Rachel is very helpful and explains things clearly.

This has to have the kindest office staff I have ever seen! Not only them but I saw for the 1st time Ms. Linda Thames, DNP APRN-BC @ Alliance Spine on Chapel Hill road in Douglasville Ga. She has not only the best bedside manner but the knowledge & compassion for you which it shows that she truly cares. I really liked her!

Very friendly people

Dr. Okpareke is a caring, efficient, compassionate, professional. He is determined to get at the root cause of my chronic PHN from Shingles. We have had our challenges, however, he continues to persevere towards a solution.

Great People

I must say that he has the best staff. He’s a very good doctor and I highly recommend this, Dr

Great

Thank you for the visit.

Lots of mistakes led to delays in treatment. Saw me for less than 5 minutes and said he was going to order imaging and get me started on physical therapy, but he never processed the PT referral and ordered the wrong x-rays. Every time I called the office it was days later that they got back to me, then more days until the Dr. corrected it. The charting was incorrect and got flagged by insurance and the imaging center had to follow up to get clarification on the order, which was still wrong days later. They scheduled me for follow up and took my copay then the Dr didn’t see me without the imaging so I took time off from work for nothing. When I finally had my follow up abs received my treatment plan the Dr availability was very limited and they told me I couldn’t have the procedure done at any of the other clinics because it had to be where he saw me last, even though I had attended appointments at multiple locations. No explanation why. That was the final straw I found a new Dr. that same day!

My first visit was awesome really address my concerns. I feel like progress was truly made today.Looking forward to my future visits and believe it will really go great. I truly like Doctor Robinson I feel like he will really get me to a level of comfort

I love Dr Joseph and his staff at DouglasvilleCenter there very kind and helpful no matter what the situation is they take care of it in a timely manner and they listen to ur concerns and address them keep up the good work Ms WINTERS

Hope they never leave the practice!

Very professional and honest, direct without any games.

Great Doctor’s. Very professional. And they definitely get the job done :)

I have been a patient of Erin for a few years now. She has been very helpful in treating my back pain and neck pain. Always welcoming, informative and professional.

Allison is kind and very attentive, I’ve only seen her 2 times but I like her very much.

I was very pleased with my visit and with Dr Shah. He told me things no doctor had told me before concerning my back issues. I feel certain I am in good hands now. Thank you for accepting me as one of your patients.

I like her.

Caring, understanding, formative

Mara is always very professional and kind. She gets to the bottom of your problem. She always listens and works with you to get to the root of the problem so that you can get the best relief possible.

Very through and attentive explanation and examination !

1st visit only a MRI was set up. They were all very nice. They took time to gather my information on the problem I am having.

I have been going to Alliance for years, often seen by Phillip, who has always been professional and empathetic to my condition.

My last 'out patient' procedure with Alliance was an "oblation" procedure, given on Dec 9. I was given the oblation procedure after two previous "epidural" type shots (on Oct 30 & Nov 13) to locate and identify the nerve (or nerves) that were causing the pain in my lower back/hip area. I don't feel like the oblation procedure has been successful, because I still have daily pain that varies from 2-3 to 6-7 on a daily basis in the lower back area that 'Alliance' was supposed to eliminate, mainly when I try to stand fully erect. Dr. Joseph said that the full effect of the procedure may not be "fully realized" for several weeks. That certainly would be an accurate statement. I am going to try thru the website an online portal and schedule another follow up appointment with Alliance to get some new guidance as to how to eliminate or manage the pain and discomfort more effectively. Please get back to be about another "consulation" appointment with Dr. Joseph. Thank you. Email: [email protected], phone: 404-354-1902. Respectfully, Newton Babb

Wanderful i am good NO Pain. I am very please whit D. Okpareke. I am relive of pain that is very please and happy. Yes i will tell every one about this office. Thank you for helping me be free of pain, Amen EDNA COTTEN

She’s very professional and informative. Everything she’s done has been for my benefit and alleviated my concerns about my health.

Friendly and knowledgable

Nice guy, seems very knowledgeable. I’m still in the beginning stages of treatment. I actually had more questions, he said he’d be back, but the nurse returned (very nice staff 5-star) and I asked to speak with him again but he was already doing prep. She did answer the questions that I had, but it would’ve been nice to have more face time with him tbh. Next time hopefully.

Torre and all of the support staff at Alliance Spine and Pain Center are considerate, thoughtful, and engaging. They make sure to ask questions that will remind you of the things you wanted to say or ask and may have forgotten. For me that’s essential!

Nurse and Dr was nice

Dr. Stewart was a very thorough, kind, compassionate, Godly man. Much appreciated his thoroughness and his saying God Bless you to my husband. It meant a lot. I felt like we were in good hands with Dr. Stewart.

Dr. Joseph is dismissive and cold. I saw him for the fi

I always feel that Linda Thames listens to me and offers choices to consider with my pain management. I trust her with my life and I’m so glad I have her to call on when I have questions or when I need to take the next step in my pain mgmt.

Love Mrs. Scanlon she is very caring ❤️

She listens and actually takes time to discuss things with you. You’re not being rushed. She offers helpful information. I don’t feel like I’m just someone to check off a list. She is awesome!

Charmaine is great!!!

Robin has been fantastic along with the entire staff. She has always been professional, polite, caring and affable.

Always professional and show they really care

Rachel did an excellent follow up form my procedure! Very thorough on the highs and seeking where bettering the next procedure in the process. She also spent time explaining other courses of action if required. What I appreciated the most was her time of true attention to me as the patient with my pain issues! Thanks so much!!

In an era where everyone is inputting data and their attention is divided; Robin is an active listener. She is engaged and offers advice and constructive input. She pays attention to details and always treats you like an individual not just another patient. she makes you feel like your concerns are relevant and valid.

Eleasha Gray is someone that is necessary in this practice. She has such a wonderful disposition and is highly professional. Her genuine goodness shines through her smile and the way she relates to patients. She definitely a 10 out of 10 tell a friend person. May God continue to bless her as she blesses others. I hope this review helps you.

I can't remember when I started going to Alliance while I still lived in Marietta 3-1/2 years ago. When I moved to Cartersville I was very happy to see they had a clinic here. I had read reviews of Dr. Gale from when he was in Marietta (I was established with a different doctor there) and decided he was the one for me! I have not been disappointed. The Cartersville office itself is very good also - usually not long waiting, the staff is courteous and helpful - and knowledgeable. If you need this type of care, this is the place to go.

It was very good. Not a long wait either. The provider I saw was excellent. Nothing but good to say.

She is wonderful comes in the room with a smile on her face that’s one of the things I really like someone who seems like they care about you and your health she asks questions and she takes suggestions from you and I’m not saying this because my late wife was also named Rachel

Mrs Scanlon and staff are very friendly , caring , respectful people that’s not just there for a job . They care about their patients. Great jobs , keep it up

She is an amazing ,kind, and caring doctor..she is very persise and her tone of voice shows that she is confident and concerned about her patients and she takes pride in her work..I recommend her to everyone who needs a great doctor!!

Rachel is a very caring and professional PA. And when giving the cortisone shot in my knee, I barely felt it.

Courteous and punctual. :-)

Very professional and considerate

Erin takes her time to listen to my symptoms. Very thorough. Excellent job!

Good listener

It was my first tag meeting the doctor. He was quite pleasant and seemed to listen to my issues I was satisfied.

Ms.Mara always take the time to explaini everything what is going on with you and she take the time to explain all of your options and she listens to what you think about them all

Caring, informative, knowledgeable. I'm always receiving great advice on ways to treat my many areas of pain. Thanks for everything.! Frank Hall

Just conversation has been fine, he sent my medication into the pharmacy. I am still waiting to get my injection and a nerve blocker. Waiting on approval from my insurance and clearance from my pulmonary doctor. So far he has been fine

Alice Fazekas was very professional, friendly and helpful!

Ms Alice Fazekas is an amazing NP. She listens to my concerns & questions about my care.

They are great drs. I really enjoy there being a patient at the clinic they take good care of me

I was taken to the examination room just a few minutes after my appointment time. My vitals, etc. were reviewed. Dr. Cable discussed results of my previous procedure. Then he identified what the next step is. He sent the prescription for the next step.

Surprisingly, Ms. Fazekas, a pain practicioner, treated me more holistically than any other doctors ever have in recent years. She listened to all my symptoms and all of my feelings. She acknowledged and understood everything I shared. She had a conversation with me. Based on all of that, she discussed an action plan for me, a new medication for me, and a new outlook for me to address my pain. I left the office no longer feeling helpless, but feeling like I had a partner to manage my symptoms.

Very professional and caring about your concerns and your problems just a very nice person overall

Great experience. Wonderful team of doctors and staff that care about my well-being and pain management. They actually care enough to want to find out where the pain derives and want to help heal and get me to a place where I can manage without pain meds and focus on getting back to normal daily functioning. Thank you Dr. Okpareke, I appreciate your help.

I just love this Dr.O address all my issues and he takes care of all of them

Excellent visit

Excellent demeanor

Dr. Linda Thames listened and has a great attitude. She was present in my visit and took what I said into consideration of my care while giving me options about moving forward.

Excellent service. Great staff, made me feel that they cared about me.

Very through answers all questions

I love Dr. Joseph because he’s so honest. He recommended me to a surgeon first to see if I needed something more than what he was recommending just to be on the safe side instead of just barreling through and finding out later that I should have gone to the surgeon first. I so appreciated that. I highly recommend him Also everyone who works at his office is friendly and top notch.

Always happy with visits

This was my first time being seen by Alicia Gray and I must say she is very good. She explained my MRI in a way that left me informed but not terrified. She is super sweet and I highly recommend her ☺️

My appointment was very good. The staff was very friendly and professional.

Called me into exam room on time and medical assistant, Abby was very informative, patient, and answered all of my questions. Dr Gale answered all questions, explained the treatment process in detail. I was very comfortable with the entire process.

I wanted to talk to her about my MRI test but she walked out of the room I thought oh well

Seemed caring about my other issues besides pain

Very, very professional and he also listens, shares his patients concerns. I recommend him to everyone who needs his services.

Miss Torri is very professional and also very personable, great smile and kind heart.

Appreciate his time in reviewing my case and formulating a plan of action. Also appreciate giving me his honest opinion as I really feel I have been given the run around in the past.

Ms Fazekas was kind and courteous. She listened to my concerns and offer solutions.I felt very comfortable asking her questions about my many conditions and was very pleased with how helpful she was.I recommend this practice to all seeking help with their pain. Everyone from the front office to the doctors and Nurse Practitioners to the PA's were all very kind.

Dr. Oparke was very professional, yet very approachable. He was not condescending. Dr. Oparke was a good listener and asked the right questions. I did not feel rushed and was very satisfied with my appointment. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I was very comfortable with Dr. Masson. He offered many suggestions that might help me with back pain.

Dr. Joseph is new to me as I am to him. I have to say I am impressed with him as he proved yesterday, to be a man of integrity. I would though as that he allows me a few extra minutes during my appointments because I most times have a lot to say

She is very nice listens to your problems and what’s going on with you and I enjoy her bad manners

Always a pleasure with Dr Pallavi Gupta and her medical team. I received a back injection today. From reception at check-in, to procedure prep and setup, to being in the precedure room, the aneathetist and Dr Gupta performing the procedure, I was given excellent care! I highly recommend her and the team for Pain management. Thanks to you and your professional medical team. Tom D.

Very helpful and caring

Great doctor that takes the time out to understand patient's aliments and to apply the best and appropriate treatment The treatment plans that he administers to his patient has proven to help better the quality of life!

They couldn't figure out what problem I had they kept giving me pain pills tons of pain pills and just kept increasing the dosage because I guess they're inadequate of being able to repair or diagnose correctly they overcharge my insurance company because it's Medicare drug testing after every visit charging $385 for each test and then $785 for each visit sometimes they did nothing during the visit but go over my drug list very unprofessional I don't recommend for anyone been going for 2 and 1/2 years with no help absolute horror

My wait time was less then 10 minutes. Alice was quick to address my concerns. Set me up for a much needed epidural.

Very attentive and informative about my problems. Very nice lady.

Thought Ms Thames was awesome. She was very professional and showed compassion which you don’t see a lot of these days. We need more professionals like her in the healthcare field. Thank you

I receive excellent care and would recommend this pain management center to others!!!

AWESOME DR . SHE CARES ABOUT HER PATIENTS! SHE LISTENED AND PROVIDE AS MUCH HELP AS SHE CAN! THE WHOLE TEAM ARE AWESOME!!!!

I rate the little to no wait time to be seen 5. I've suffered with chronic lower back and hip pain for 40 years, but since I started being treated by Dr. Allen Hord, my pain lever has decreased from 9 to 3-0 over the pass 13 years. Dr. Hord and his staff are professionals! They're warm and caring! I highly recommend Dr. Allen Hord at the Alliance Spine and Pain Cencer.

Very relaxiing

Doctor and staff both courteous and kind Very glad my doctor recommended them

Very informative visit, staff very helpful and I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone needing spine care.

My visit with Rachel was positive. I appreciate our discussion and decisions made to enhance my quality of life.

VERY SATISFIED WITH MY CARE THANK YOU.

I like Dr Hord. It’s easy to talk to him and you get the genuine impression he listens and wants to help you feel better.

Kind and very informative

Discussion went well, very attentive and answered all my question

Prompt and courteous. I have finally found a provider who will care for my ongoing, longstanding back pain effectively. Thank you so much.

Mrs. Thames Was very concerned about my health. She went the extra mile to get a document to me. I never came across a DNP that actually read a documents to me; and then clearly explained it to me. She was very warm. Her demeanor Was absolutely breathtaking. I was very pleased to work with Mrs. Thames. Her experience is very long, you can see it in her passion for maintaining good health. And that was my experience with Mrs. Thames. God Bless

She is very nice, helpful with advice beyond medicines or procedures. My wife and I love her and Dr Masson! They give us some releif!

Professional, knowledgeable & personable Listened to my concerns patiently.

My experience in 12/3/25 was very helpful and knowledgeable. The Dr took time to explain the pain that I have been experiences.

Dr. Shah was thorough in his explanations & path moving forward. Answered all my questions in a clear & reassuring manner

Good

Love her always there to help and care about her patients.

Dr Sam is a wonderful doctor I highly recommend her to everyone that are suffering from joint pain neck pain back pain she is very knowledgeable great bedside manners felt very comfortable with her I highly recommend her

She’s awesome. Excellent customer service and listen to you and answer your questions knowledgeable.

PAIN DR REFUSES TO COOPERATE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION TO PROVIDE MEDICAL HISTORY INFO TO MY INS CO IN ORDER TO RECEIVE RX! I was referred to Alliance Spine & Pain, Woodstock GA by my PCP who believes this practice is HELPFUL. As it turns out for over a month I HAVE BEEN DENIED TREATMENT for ungodly PAIN from a history of TBI, CTE, Shingles, PHN, PN, the list is extremely long and complicated. UCLA, STANFORD, SAMARITAN in the West are SUPERIOR and made an exception to FAX my Medical Record in 2 hours! During the initial exam this provider had the MRI of my brain that I could see. When this provider EXAMINED the MRI images she immediately concluded; "It appears you've suffered numerous concussions" which was surprisingly accurate. Then she went on to state; "You're obese and you must exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day." (I already have an exercise ritual that's conducive with my medical history of multiple brain disorders and conditions.) Shockingly, this provider doesn't feel it's necessary to obtain my medical records necessary for SAFETY and SECURING my HEALTH and WELLNESS. (I religiously sign MEDICAL RECORDS RELEASE REQUESTS.) Yet, this provider has FAILED to REQUEST my Medical Records. I also tried to INCREASE the exercising to EVERYDAY, as instructed by this provider, that caused a FRACTURE my left heel and SHREDDED the entire Foot Pad muscles in both my feet. IF this provider had displayed any interest in my PRIOR MEDICAL conditions that include PN peripheral neuropathy, an agonizingly painful neurological disorder connected with TBI I'd like to imagine she would not have been so denigrating and offensive. After I sustained injuries to my feet my entire neurological system went into 'ALERT' that subsequently 'TRIGGERED' an excruciating FALL onto concrete which required EMERGENCY medical attention. NONE of these TRAUMATIC, PAINFUL circumstances that never would have occurred if this provider followed 'practice' regulations. But, I got the impression this provider isn't genuinely interested in my HEALTH nor WELLNESS. THE REAL TROUBLE STARTED AFTER this provider wrote an Rx for Lido5%. Which, as can be expected, my INS Co, BCBS, FAXED A REQUEST for the provider to complete by submitting additional medical info that's verified by my MEDICAL RECORDS. This REQUEST was aggravating, annoying, and determined to be 'beneath' this provider's expectations. Her MA (med asst) actually stated; "The dr said if additional information is required WE WILL NOT COMPLETE ANY FORMS NOR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IF THE INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER THE RX THEN THE PATIENT WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET." The Ins Co tried to explain they WILL COVER the Rx but, "as required by law" they need 'my doctor' to provide medical history info. EVERY DAY for the last 30 I've been going up the chain with this MASSIVELY HUGE CORPORATION (which, by the way, I discovered has a ROBOT on the cover of their WEBSITE with a logo: "THE FUTURE OF PAIN RELIEF" which is real scary to imagine. MY HUMAN BODY IS A PERFECT CREATION - NOT A MACHINE!! I keep asking over 100+ individuals at this corporation to HELP because her stubborn decision is UNCOOPERATIVE and violates FEDERAL Regulation laws. HOW CAN THEY THINK THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL?! This specific provider is arrogant, CRUEL and is INFLICTING ME WITH UNNECESSARY PAIN! EVEN WORSE, my own Ins Co is totally unqualified to do more than READ SCRIPTS and ENFORCE POLICY with redundant and stagnant bureaucratic processes. ANY medical provider who is capable to PROVOKE PAIN is frightening to consider. For some reason the entire Company is endlessly on AI Voice Messaging. I tried contacting WAYNE BRYANT, Compliance Officer from this corporation and he hasn't returned my call either. Oh, one more ALARMING circumstance, I contacted my PCP who referred me to this 'scary awful' practice and they actually said; "We send all our patients here. Nobody has ever complained or had any trouble with Alliance Spine and Pain. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA?!?!! How many individuals does this company employ who are either UNQUALIFIED, UNEDUCATED, ARROGANT, CARELESS, CAN'T COMPLETE A SIMPLE TASK, WON'T COMMIT TO 'FOLLOW THRU' LAZY, INSENSITIVE, HARMFUL, DEROGATORY BULLIES who are actually doing nothing except CAUSING MORE HARM than good? Whatever you do, BE CAREFUL! I've found out the HARD WAY this provider is UNTRUSTWORTHY and in alignment with an ideal of 'futuristic' Frankensteins who refuse to treat each patient with equality.

Always attentive to symptoms and seeks solutions .

I’m always delighted to see Mara, as I feel that she is totally professional and up to date on my condition. Plus, she always takes the time to listen to any questions and always manages to answer them!! I plan to continue asking to see her!! Thank you!!!

I have just one word(AMAZING)

I have been going to Alliance for over three years - both in Marietta and Cartersville. I have always found them to be excellent - both the office staff and the medical staff, especially Dr. Gale, Ashley and Lester. They listen and explain.

She was very personable and warm.

Very friendly, and efficient staff! Dr. Was patient and caring, listened attentively to my concerns

Very kind and patient she really listens to your concern and what might help you get better and ask you how you feel about trying something different that might work for you. I will give her a 10 meaning she is very good and knowledgeable

AL Curry, Clinical Pharmacist licensed in GA, FL, NC & OH. PLEASE READ my review before making an appointment to see Dr. David Neckman, 5303 Adams St., Suite C, Covington, GA 30014. He arranged for Dr. Rosenfield on 12.19.24 to remove my Intrathecal pain pump. BSBS told me my co-pay was $275. Alliance Spine & Pain doubled my co-pay to $550. I filed a complaint with Medicare Programs, Appeals Grievances Dept, MailStep : OH0205-A537, 4361 Irvin Simpkins Rd, Mason, OH 450040. They resolved the problem & my co-pay was $275. Dr. Neckman on 7.9.25 installed my Spinal Cord Stimulator. On 8.12.25, I started seeing redness & drainage on the incision. I called Covington he sent me to Putnman General Hospital in Eatonton, GA, for Cultures. After growing Cultures Day 1 to Day 5, there was NO growth. On 8.13.25, Dr. Neckman had me come to the Covington office. He did a GRAM STAIN & AEROBIC BACTERIAL CULTURE, but LabCorp was unable to get the results because Dr Neckman used the wrong type of swab. I saw Dr. Neckman in Conyers on 9.15.25 for an incision check. He said without any lab results that I had an infection from the “film on the battery,” and scheduled an Explant (removal of my Spinal Cord Stimulator) on 9.17.25 in Covington. He E prescribed to my pharmacy Clindamycin 300 mg 2 capsules three times daily. During my surgery on 9.17.25, he did a GRAM STAIN & AEROBIC BACTERIAL lab culture. When I was in recovery, Dr. Neckman asked me what he put me on for pain when he installed my SCS. I was surprised he didn’t refer to his provider notes. I told him Percocet 10/325 mg, but I was too strong, would he consider Norco 5? He said yes, he would E prescribe it to my pharmacy. I asked Kasey Dean, Charge Nurse, Dr. Neckmanto to have E prescribed to my pharmacy the Norco 5. Kasey said he had left the office she sent Dr Neckman a text message. When I got to my pharmacy, the Norco 5 wasn’t there. I called the answering service at 426 PM. I went all night long in excruciating pain. I called the office in Covington the next morning, explained what happened what she said. Dr. Neckman probably left early because he lived in north Atlanta & wanted to get ahead of the traffic. She texted Dr Neckman & he E-prescribed Norco 5 to my pharmacy. In my opinion, Dr. Neckman’s patients come first over his personal life. On 9.22.25, Dr. Neckman E prescribed to my pharmacy Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole one tablet twice daily. On 9.23.25, I went on my LabCorp portal to look at GRAM STAIN & AEROBIC BACTERIAL cultures results. It showed Pseudomonas putida & was Resistant, not effective against trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. I called Kasey Dean, Charge Nurse in Covington, brought to her attention, she contacted Dr. Neckman & he had me stop taking trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. On 9.24.25, I had a follow-up visit with Dr. Neckman after my surgery. He wanted me to see an infectious disease doctor because he said I had a surgical site infection & the Pseudomonas putida had gotten into my bloodstream. Dr. Neckman said the infectious disease doctor would admit me to a hospital & I would be there receiving IV antibiotics for several weeks. Dr. Neckman said for me to buy enough Sodium Chloride 0.9% for 6 months. Dr. Neckman instructed my wife on how to change & clean the incision daily. Dr. Neckman yelled & accused my wife of removing the dressing on the spine. All she did was put an extra piece of tape on because it was trying to come off. On 11.2.25, I sent a message from my portal to Kasey Dean, charge nurse in Covington, asking if Dr. Neckman would consider E-prescribing Noro 5 to my pharmacy. Dr. Neckman said I would have to make an office visit. I refused because it was a 184-mile round trip. Dr Neckman was only interested in receiving his copay of $330. Dr. Neckman discharged me on 11.5.25, saying there was nothing else he could do for me. I asked what I was supposed to do for pain, and he said take what you were taking before you saw me. I found my own Infectious disease doctor on US News World Report for Doctors & I had Dr Neckman’s office send the referral. On 10.9.25, the infectious disease doctor said I had a Pseudomonas putida wound culture positive, probable superficial, wouldn’t be admitted to the hospital; he could treat me as an outpatient. My infectious disease doctor instructed my wife to continue simple wound care daily with loose wound packing with iodophor gauze. He also said the clindamycin was ineffective in treating the Pseudomonas putida that Dr Neckman had me on. On 11.6.25, I had my return visit to see my infectious disease doctor, who said my wife had done a fantastic job changing the dressing & packing with iodophor gauze for her to continue for 2 weeks & stop. The Doctor said he saw no ID-related contraindications to future spinal implants, contradicting what Dr Neckman had said.

From the front desk to the back o.r room an in between you won't find a better caring team of doctors an nurses. Dr neckman an his team are awsome! Been a patient for many years now an im very happy to be free of that excruciating pain I was in. Thank you all at alliance for everything you do.

Dr. Masson has been amazing. He will actually sit there and talk to you and listen to your questions and concerns, instead of rushing you out the door. I have been seeing him for a year now and I have no complaints!

Ms. Mara EHret,PA takes the time to explain everything that is going on with you and make sure you understand

I can bring any of my worries to ZMs Alice Fazekas, my PA, and she gives me her total attention, and wonderful advice. I can trust her with my care , and I always leave the office feeling happy and knowing I can deal with my medical problems.

Ashley is always dedicated and compassionate to my pain regimen. She always been so knowledgeable and supportive to my arthritic body.im lucky to be under her care.

Eleasha is a very compassionate

I would recommend Alliance Spine and Pain to anyone suffering with Pain. The Dr's. are friendly and very helpful and understanding.

I have been a patient for over 10 years and I can tell you that they are very pleasant people who actually take good care of their patients. They even text their patients during the month to make sure that you’re ok and to see if you need anything or if you have any questions about your health issues. I would recommend them to anyone who has back issues

She is a great person and very understanding and sympathetic. She wants to help you with your pain, so be honest. The entire practice is wonderful!

It has been the best every time .

Great

Great doctor. Was very good at listening to you. I can't wait till my next appointment. Because of how great she is.

Have been going this office for over 20 years. Have RA and need their help. And they have been really helpful. I will use them for as long as I have too. Look forward to my appoitment each time. Because they listen to all your needs. And do as much as they can to help you.

Dr. Thames was professional as well as relatable. She understood my reasoning for one of the decisions I made and offered some food for thought regarding a surge of pain & discomfort. I would definitely recommend her. Anad ²

She asked and answered all questions I had. It was a great visit

Really can’t say enough about Dr Kilday and his staff, all were phenomenal, caring, knowledgeable and professional. I truly believe they want to and are going to help me with the back pain I’ve lived with for years. Nice to see there are still medical professionals that put the interest of their patients above anything else.

She was incredibly insightful about my situation! Listened intently to me and responded with care!

Very caring and understanding. Left me with a good impression. Relatable too.

Extremely informative. She spent a lot of time discussing my MRI results concerning my spine and back pain as well as treatment available. Thank you for your help today!

Dr. O is awesome

Dr. Great the medicine in my knee is not working YET. She said it will take a while longer for it to get the results we need. Great discussion she showed concern for my health and I left with an understanding that the procedure is still working.

She seem very concerned about me as a human being not just a patient it was my pleasure meeting her for the very first time.

I had a good experience.

Phillip has always been very attentive. He is always willing to to discuss current issues i.e. recent events that have created pain flares in case he may have a short term solutions to help.

Always friendly and professional!

Very knowledgeable without being overbearing. Personable. Although It was my first visit with Dr. Scanlon, I was comfortable with her attitude and decisions.

He was very professional in his interaction with me about my health concerns.

Very attentive and seems to genuinely care about any concerns I may be having. I appreciate the care I receive with each visit.

I've been trying to get a doctor to listen to me and help me for over a year now, on my first visit he addressed every concern and issue without me pointing them out to him. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone I know! I'm eager to what my future holds and looking forward to it rather then being in fear with pain!

Meeting Dr Joseph was a pleasure. He is kind and very friendly. I’m sure I’ll enjoy having him as my pain care physician. All the staff at the Douglasville location are kind, caring people. It’s a pleasure dealing with everyone there.

NOT A REVIEW I received a phone message today asking me to return the call regarding my appointment on November 18 at 1:00 pm. I have called multiple times but have been unable to speak to anyone. Also tried the Patient Portal. Please have someone call or text my home phone - 770 436 9736 - to let me know if that appointment is still correct. Thank you.

He figured out what was wrong and fixed it. Straight forward and very helpful.

My visit today was extremely pleasant! Dr. Arun Joseph was patient explaining to me my health diagnosis. The staff members were professional, polite, and pleasant to work with. They took the time to go over and explain my health diagnosis with me, and set up a future appointment me. I was very impressed with their patience and professionalism. Yes, I would recommend them to a family member or friend. Great job!

He listened to my concerns and made me feel heard.

Feel at ease comfortable talking to my doctor

Ms . Fazekas was very concerned about my health and ensured I understood the my need to have answers to all the question I proposed.

Great Doctor!!!!

They are very efficient in their process. They take time to answer your questions Never have I had Dr office that treats you as someone special.

Ms. Fazekas is knowledgeable and was very understanding.

Very nice experience today, she ask all the right questions. She took care of my needs. I would recommend others to Alliance

He listened to everything I said and was very calming and thorough in plans to help my pain

I had a great experience with Dr. Epps. He addressed all of my issues and concerns professionally. And provided several options for each of my issues.

Kelly is professional, and does a great job of keeping up with us.

I'm more than pleased and satisfied with everyone I've come in contact with at the practice. I'm especially pleased with Dr. Joseph.

Ms. Fazekas was amazing. I was there for a follow-up to my ablation 30 days ago. I was still in pain and the ablations takes several months to experience the results. My son's wedding was in two days. She checked and it has been several months since I had an epidural and said they would work me in that morning in a couple hours if I wanted them to give me the epidural to help with pain. She absolutely had my best interest at heart and totally listened to what was happening with my challenges. Thank you Ms. Fazekas, Dr. Opareke and the entire staff at Alliance Spine and Pain Center, Douglasville. I am positive working together we are going to get this back of mine under control!

I am very well pleased with this service

Always listening and does what it takes to relieve your pain!!

Charmaine is the best. She cares so much about her patients and she explains everything you need to know about what is going on with your pain. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

He said to go to er for cat scan for tremendous pain in back. I had two fractures that were not picked up by x- rays. Fortunate to have him as my Dr.

Professional, knowledgeable and friendly

My name is AL Curry, and I am a Clinical Pharmacist licensed in GA, FL, NC, and OH. I was a patient of Dr. David Neckman, Pain Medicine at Alliance Spine and Pain, 5303 Adams Street, Suite C, Covington, GA 30014. Before you make an appointment to see Dr. David Neckman, you need to read how he treated me as a patient with severe Lumbar Spine pain. My review is very long, but you need to read it before making an appointment to see Dr. Neckman. On July 9, 2025, Dr. Neckman installed an Abbott Proclaim XR 5 Spinal Cord Stimulator. On August 12, I started seeing redness and pus on the incision. I immediately called his office. I was instructed to go to Putnam General Hospital in Eatonton, GA, for Blood Cultures. No growth was found after 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days. On 8.13.25, he had me come to his office in Covington for a GRAM STAIN and AEROBIC BACTERIAL CULTURE because of the type of swab that Dr. Neckman used. The two tests were not performed because the type of swab Labcorp received was not suitable for the testing required. On 9.15.25, Dr. Neckman had me come to his office in Conyers so he could look at my incision. He E prescribed to my pharmacy Cleocin 300 mg, take 3 capsules three times daily. He wanted to remove the spinal cord stimulator that day because the battery was exposed, and he assumed, without doing labs, that I had an infection in my bloodstream. He couldn’t remove the SCS because I had eaten. He scheduled my Spinal Cord Stimulator to be removed on 9.17.25 without having any lab work, saying that I had an infection in my bloodstream; he just assumed the infection was there. During my surgery he did these labs: GRAM STAIN, AEROBIC BACTERIAL CULTURE. After my surgery, Dr. Neckman asked me what pain medication he E prescribed to my pharmacy when he installed my SCS I said Percocet 10, but it was too strong. He said he would E prescribe Norco 5 to my Pharmacy. When we got the the pharmacy, he hadn’t E prescribed my Norco 5 and was in excruciating pain all night long. The next morning, I called his office and Dr. Neckman E prescribed it to my pharmacy around 10 AM. Dr. Neckman instructed my wife to change my dressing twice daily and saturate the gauze with Sodium Chloride 0.9% for Irrigation and for me to buy lots of it because I would be on it for 6 months. I bought from Amazon 2000 ml ($31.57) and 1000 ml ($15.50) Sodium Chloride 0.9% for Irrigation for a total of $50.36. He referred me to see an Infectious Disease Doctor in Macon at Piedmont North at my request. I found this doctor. He wanted me to go to Piedmont in Atlanta, but that was a three-hour drive. On 9.22.25, Dr Neckman E prescribed Bactrim DS to my pharmacy Bactrim DS. When I looked at the results of my CULTURES that were done on 9.17.25, the results were reported on 9.23.25. I noticed that the Bactrim DS was Resistant and ineffective against the PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA. I immediately sent a message through my portal to his nurse after she contacted Dr Neckman. He had me stop taking the Bactrim DS. Dr. Neckman said when I saw the Infectious Disease Doctor, to be prepared to stay in the hospital for several weeks because I would be receiving Intravenous Antibiotics. On 10.9.25, I saw an Infectious Disease Doctor at Piedmont North in Macon, GA. After the doctor examined me, he said I had a SUPERFICAL SKIN INFECTION, that the Pseudomonas wasn’t in my bloodstream, and that he could treat me as an outpatient. The doctor instructed my wife to continue simple wound care, daily loose wound packing with Iodophor gauze. The doctor said that using too much Sodium Chloride 0.9% Irrigation would increase the chance of organisms. He also said I had contact dermatitis. The infectious doctor said the Cleocin was ineffective in treating the Pseudomonas and should have never been prescribed. As a clinical pharmacist, I personally think Dr. Neckman should have referred me to the Infectious Disease Doctor before removing my Spinal Cord Stimulator, and after what I know now, my Spinal Cord Stimulator wouldn’t have had to be removed. It proves to me that Dr. Neckman doesn’t know what he is doing. When I saw Dr. Neckman for my follow-up appointment after the removal of my Spinal Cord Stimulator. I asked him what I was supposed to do for my Lumbar Spine pain. He replied There’s nothing more I can do for you. You will have to take what you were taking previously before you saw me, the Tylenol and Voltaren gel. Now I am stuck with a $690 co-pay. Alliance Spine and Pain Center “mission” statement is to provide interventional pain management with the highest quality of patient care, enabling patients to live fuller, more functional, and fulfilling lives. After seeing Dr. Neckman, now I am in excruciating pain, and my pain level is around a 10; it’s worse than my first appointment with Dr. Neckman. When I sit down for over an hour, I can barely walk. I am in lots of pain when I bend over to brush my teeth or wash my hands. When I stand up, I can hardly straighten up. I didn’t receive the highest quality of patient care, enabling me to live a fuller, more functional, and fulfilling life. Now I have to find another pain management doctor. Before you make an appointment to see Dr David Neckman, just remember what happened to me.

I needed a new procedure for me explained in detail & why I seem to be a good candidate for it. As always, he was easy to understand & listened to me.

The experience was very resourceful, and should be commended! Very nice Staff also! Keep up the Good work!

I am very happy and impressed with this practice, everyone was nice, helpful and knowle

My experience was very good. It’s just that I don’t give too many 5 stars.

Wonderful. Kind to patients.

Great Doctor. If you are having chronic conditions/pain, I tell you from experience that he is the best I have had. Give him a try and you could copy and paste this review. GREAT DOCTOR!!

Very thorough and detailed and answered all my questions.

Very nice visit. All questions answered.

Everyone was professional and friendly. My appointments always take less than one hour and I don't feel rushed. I'm feeling better than I have in years and most of the credit goes to the staff a Alliance Spine and Pain.

Helpful, knowledgeable, and curtiouse. She has been taking care of me for years. I love DR. Gale and his staff. Thank you so much for your care!

Very nice

It has been proven to me time and time again that Alliance/Charmagne exhibits extensive knowledge , experience and professionalism at every turn. I have extensive issues and she consistently gives great advice and shows such concern for my ability to achieve some comfort. Thank you so much Charmaine.

Erin is great! Listens and is knowledgeable and compassionate. Always easy to talk to.

Easy and relaxed encounters with Dr Joseph when meeting

I recently visited Dr. Joseph and was impressed by his attentive and understanding approach. He genuinely listened to my history and respected my previous experiences, opting to continue with successful treatments. His personalized care and willingness to tailor treatments was most helpful! I intend to continue treatment under his care and direction.

Very professional

I really like Dr. Gale n all the staff. They are always so nice. Dr.Gale has helped me a lot n I'm thankful for all he's done. I've told my family n friends about alliance. How great everyone is there.

Dr.was very attentive and knowledgeable about existing symptoms.

Ms. Linda is awesome! She is a great listener and seeks to understand her patients’ symptoms. She also seeks minimal intervention first, so as not to over treat. I will definitely request her again when I need follow up.

Thorough and attentive
