Try TVPC/Spine and Neuro Center in Huntsville. Dr Morris Scherlis is my anesthesiologist and he is great. My only issue with them really is that for office visits I have to see one of his two staff members and the guy(Greg) is kind of an ass. Sorta condescending and suspicious of patients it seems. Also, I have a few other issues besides my back/sciatic pain and I was on several different meds for it including Ativan for anxiety/stress and ambien for sleeping problems due to my pain...I've weaned myself off both of them in the past year and done the same with my muscle relaxers. I was so sick of taking so much medication I just had to do something. Since then I chose to smoke marijuana for my anxiety, sleep probs and stomach pain that I frequently have; it works wonders for it and I believe is exponentially healthier than taking pills, but I am chastised and scolded by this guy for it and have been threatened to be cut off my pain medicine if I fail a second U/A.

I went there for years and they never gave me a U/A until recently when my gp lost his license to write pain meds for his patients and I had to resort to them for prescriptions. My gp had also had me on tramadol for breakthrough pain (barely works but better than nothing) and so when I had my last script of it in my system the second visit I was again scolded and threatened even though i had every right to take them....it's their policy that you cannot take any prescription pain medicine that they don't give you and they do NOT write more than one type.. and they are very strict about it. Like I said though my actual doctor there is awesome...very kind, concerned and approachable, but very busy so you don't have much time much to converse before a procedure. That's where you have to talk to his staff, who are mostly very kind as well. Good luck.

Agree on Greg. He's actually the only person who's ever given me a UA. The other nurse practicioners for Scherlis are nice and approachable just like him. I just ask not to see Greg.

I go to South Side Pain Specialists located in Birmingham Alabama. I've been going there since 2001 and have only taken lortab, methadone and currently in percocet 7.5. Methadone was great for the pain, I was on 10 mg per day but if I got still I'd fall asleep, driving was dangerous. I've never run out of my meds but my pain level has increased and my doctor has a problem going to percocet 10. It's rediculous that I can't get my meds increased this little bit. I've done blocks, shots and still in in pain. Neck is 4mm from being broke, rods and screws in lower back, musculoskeletal pain, which means everything and still my doctor is balking. I have depression and generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. My depression is being treated, sleep is being treated but not my anxiety. I'm looking for a doctor that will treat all of my issues, I know that with the mental issues you can have pain and all kinds of other problems, anxiety is terrible on your health. I'm looking for a doctor that can at least treat my anxiety. Jasper area to Birmingham area.
