Dr. Atul A Walia, DO

I was chastised about not having a PCP prior to my sudden neck issue that ultimately (& unfortunately) lead me to him. I was treated like a drug seeker instead of a patient. I received no help. He essentially wasted nearly a month of my time, as that's how long I waited to go see him for absolutely nothing. I would not recommend him to anyone. My experience with him today was horrible. No healthcare professional should treat a patient the way he treated me.

I felt he was not a good physician ,and did not seem very intersted in my concern .he has a quiet demeanor so that may be the Reason .... He made me suffer 2 months after I saw him I had neck surgery . he told me nothing wrong I have an addiction problem .

I've been seeing Dr. Walia for about 6 months. He is the best pain management doctor I've ever had because he tries to treat and correct what's causing you the pain not just push pills at you. He is pleasurable and always asks "is there any other way I can help you?" After we discuss a current problem. I've had two rounds of occipital nerve blocks done by him and going in for RFA nerve abatement next month. Go see him. Yes he runs late but that's because he doesn't rush his patients!! He treats me like a real person and cares about the pain his patients are in. Make the appointment now!!! You won't regret it!!

Dr. Walia has been nothing but kind and he seems to care a lot about his patients. I really appreciate his knowledge about back problems and how to deal with them.

He takes time, great bedside manner. Would highly recommend him!

Excellent doctor and very caring. He is more into procedures than pain meds and that is exactly what I wanted.

Very professinal concern & caring dressed like a Doctor should dress.

Dr. Walia is a very capable and knowledgeable physician, but his office staff is horrible. They are very unorganized and frustrating to deal with and just them alone have tempted to switch.

I have seen a few other pain management physicians in OKC and can honestly say that Dr. Atul Walia is by far the best. He listens to everything I have to say. He gives me options and most of all realizes that there are multiple different factors involved in chronic pain. He wants to address them all not just treat it with a pain medication. I really respect that which showed me he is the right doctor for me.

Entire staff very comforting. The doctor was what I call "Real", he listened and treated me like a human that had every reason to be in pain and was more than willing to help me through the process of pain management.

This doctor is an idiot. He flat out told me he could treat me, the treatment would help but then said he wasn't going to do it. Then told me he'd bring back some exercises for me to do, left the room and never came back. He offered zero help for my condition, not even advice. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

He took over my daughter's case after she had back surgery. He got her functioning again without the horrible side effects from all the pain medicines that the surgeon had placed her on.

Referred to by one other reviewer as an "egotistical young man who thinks he knows all" is hitting the nail on the head. He thinks he understands pain, but he does not. His bed-side manner condescending, insulting and is among the worst I've encountered. I would not recommend him.

I started seeing dr. Walia a couple of months ago after an accident in 08 and going to another dr for years and wanting a second opinion. The first visit I was so happy that I found a dr that "got it" he understood my pain how it effected my life and was eager to help. I was so happy I was in tears....then after new medication I felt great pain level down and he said he really thought the spinal Nero stimulator would be a great option for me. Did have to switch meds as the copay was so expensive so the next time I came in was to schedule and med check. He gave me morphine and after a few weeks I had a migraine from it for about a week and a half then making it worse the day I was scheduled to get the sns he was apparently sick and I was in a serious accident. Someone ran a red light at a high speed and hit me. Making new and current pain worse. Canned the nurse bc I hadn't got new meds yet and with the new injury wanted to make sure I was taking the right meds. Scheduled to come in to Yukon office at 9:45 and with all my pain especially from the accident I waited over an hour. I go into the room. Try to relax and I had a few tears coming down because it was my first day out this long. He comes in an apparently felt my pain had to do with my emotional state bc he saw me sad one time then happy (pain meds working) then today after a long waiting and horrible accident. And then he proceeded to tell me that he was also in an accident rear ended on Friday. Like we were comparing scary stories??? He made me feel like I was 2 years old as he spoke down to me. Very very very upset will never go or refer this egotistical young man who thinks he knows all. Next time your having a bad Monday maybe don't take it out on your patients!

Dr. Walia gave me epidural injections for intervention pain management. He is meticulous has my 100% confidence, important when someone is putting a needle in your back. I wish he did long term / chronic pain management.

Dr. Walia has been taking care of my aunt for some time now, I have been to his office 5 times, hospital procedure 3 times. He has a sincere bedside manner, never rushes her, never! It is rare to find such a caring and thorough doctor, he is kind, loving and compassionate... the world is a better place because of this man. I highly recommend him.

Do not want to see this doctor again and or let him be part of a surgical team and or manage my pain. He, on question, is not as yet board certified to managr chronic pain.

My experience with Dr. Walia has been great. He listens and answers questions freely without any sense of rush. He is very thorough in his diagnosis and treatment of issues related to the spine and pain management. His "bedside manner" is wonderful.
