So is this Angie's List a good tool for finding COMPASSIONATE Doctors? I would love to hear more peoples thoughts on this forum about it. A bunch of people have found good doctors thanks to this list and people posting right in the thread so read back. Keep it alive, remember when you didn't have a Doctor, sharing is caring :)
Thanks,

RE: Angie's List:
I only just subscribed to Angie's List for the first time about 5 weeks ago. I spent $17 for some kind of 1yr basic plan. I spent a couple of hours trying various types of searches for doctors and was actually becoming quite discouraged when I finally stumbled across some reviews for the Dr discussed below.

I was about to request a refund because the types of results and recommendations I was receiving were illogical and limited. So I felt very lucky that I found my Dr. He was the ONLY pain Med Dr I found through Angie's.

I had found a dozen other drs via Google searches and spent a couple days vetting them all over the phone by means of a simple 4-5 question survey that I had prepared to ask receptionists covering:
Fees
likelihood of prescribing narcotics
Availability
Ability to avoid a bunch of "specialist" referrals.

Obviously I had been down this new doctor road before and new what I was looking for and maybe a good way to begin.

So Angie's List was a new idea and tool for me that just happen to provide the winning doctor and provide a couple of amazing reviews for him. I also found him through Google but had prioritized him at the bottom of my list due to distance (15 miles & I have no car yet) and neighborhood (just 1 step above the ghetto. )

But after all my phone call vetting with receptionists, he rose to the top of the list.

So generally, I can't say I'm very impressed with Angie's, in fact my initial impression is that she kind of sucks when it comes to doctor listings and I just happen to get a little lucky.

That's what I suspected! Thanks for confirming. I use a Forum called Pharmacy Reviewer as well as Google I never thought to call the doctors office FIRST. This is a good idea, I am set for now but will use this (hopefully won't have too) in the future! Thanks for sharing!

Hey guys I just moved here to Houston from Spring Branch. I have fibro and lupus. My dr is in San Antonio which is way too far to get to. I have to depend on my boyfriend to get anywhere and its hard enough just to get him to take me to the store let alone San antonio! If anyone knows of any understanding drs, please let me know. Would be a life saver! xxxxx@xxx {edited for privacy}. Thanks a bunch!

For those of you who are looking to find a local pain doctor, I have listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results:
{link removed because site no longer exists}

You can give this other page a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another:
wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist

Many of the results you find (in one or both of the links above) also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd consider calling up a number of them to see if they are accepting new patients; some aren't, but most usually are.

I hope this info helps and wish you all good luck on finding the right doctors!

Tramadol is a synthetic opiate. Considered safe for long term use.
4% of the population WILL experience SEVERE withdrawl...compared to heroin withdrawl. Yes is not controlled & is available on line. It is for moderate to severe pain depending on the individual. It will bring on the euphoria most people seek it can be abused. You will build a tolerence. So don't be fooled by it not being controlled. Ihave a severe nerve injury at my L-5. I have chronic wide spread pain. And more. My symptoms mimic MS and fibro. I took Tramadol for three years with lyrica and soma. Just be careful

He is a sweet man. He listens to what you have to say. Much unlike any other doctors. He will do appropriate testing and also had clinical trials that help to determine routes to take for your health.
