Dr. Eric David Grahling, MD

unprofessional - deliberate humiliation

I've been a patient of the practice for more than 5 years and every person in the office is professional & truly compassionate. Dr. Grahling & his associates are extremely knowledgeable in identifying & treating pain. Their explanation of procedures leaves nothing to question. I highly recommend the entire practice and can't thank, all of them, enough. But most of all, the gratitude I have for Dr. Grahling and his knowledge of pain relieving procedures is so great. Without him I would still have debilitating neck and low back pain. He has given me a much better life!!! Thank you!

After they've made you go through all these painful needles then it's like ok we're done with you. No referral or anything. They don't call you back. I'm shocked they even keep people going there. I've told my friends don't go there.

Made an appointment several times to see dr Grahling but he didn't bother to see me had his PA see me ... Not impressed at all .

My Sister has been in excruciating pain for about two years with her pack. Nerve problems at the beginning. I went with her on the initial visit and information was first taken by someone there and discussed with Dr Grahling while we waited. Dr Grahling then came in the room. They gave her two procedures which helped a little BUT when she asked for a third the "information man" said the Dr would not give her another unless she took something for depression. He knew she was in pain but refused to give her the procedure unless she took meds. She certainly was not depressed but felt they were forcing pills on her. I felt she didn't need them either. She never got the shot. Shortly after she developed fractures in her spine, had an operation for them but pain was still there. Horrible pain. I finally said to her to go back to Dr Grahling. I even made the appointment for her. That day she walked into his office with the worst pain a person could be in. After the "middleman" asked her questions her questions she could barely answer being in pain he the room. Obviously to discuss her situation. He came back and they flat out refused to help her. I said you can let her go without helping her when her pain is off the charts. They ARE pain management and they couldn't help. I said I know it's because she didn't take depression meds that you suggested last year and he didn't answer. We left. One more thing. You NEVER see Dr Grahling in any visit unless you're getting a procedure. Oh but he's ready to collect a hefty sum from insurance companies. Terrible experience. Never ever going back. And the staff they could have cared less that a woman with a walker in excruciating pain left without help.

Excellent dr he gets to the bottom of your pain

I was referred by my orthopedic physician for trigger point injections. I was "scolded" by office clerks at my initial evaluation for not having my paperwork completed when I arrived. Unprofessional and obnoxious!! Never met with Dr. Grahling at my initial eval but it was determined that I needed trigger point injections by the APRN. Showed up for my appointment one hour early to take my prescribed meds in advance of the injection and would just wait in the waiting room. Explained that my daughter was meeting me there in 10 minutes to drive me home. Refused to see me and do the injection because I drove myself there..... despite the fact that I had NOT even taken my medication yet!!! Staff again rude and obnoxious!!!! Called my ortho MD and asked to send me elsewhere!!! I will NEVER deal with this practice again nor will I refer any injured workers there either!!!

Had a disc removed by neurosurgeon and followed up with Dr. Grahling for pain management - no pain medicine as I need to work f/t & he is not a believer in pain meds. He did the facet joint injections and they worked well for awhile, had them done more than once. Started having severe pain, went to primary. They sent me for an MRI, results sent to Dr. Grahling & he wanted to do more injections. I didn't think it would be helpful based on my pain. He suggested I see someone for my arthritis. Went back to my pcp, got a referral to a rheumatoid Dr. who sent me to another neurosurgeon. After looking at my MRI - I had a herniated disc. Dr. Grahling NEVER told me it was herniated, nor did my primary because they thought Dr. Grahling took care of it. I lived a year with it before getting it treated. Never been back!

Dr Grahling's staff always greets their patients with a smile. Dr. Grahling is well educated and has helped me when no one else could. I am very HAPPY I found him. Happily Pain Free. Highly recommend him!

I have been suffering for 2 months with excruciating pain. Been to pcp, chiro and hospital when the pain was so bad. Decided to schedule appt. Went for ctscan. When office called to schedule follow up I asked to speak w dr about results and was told Dr deems that 'unprofessional'. Having met my oop for the yr I was eager to see Dr.before yr end. Well appt scheduled for 1/2! Not only were my test results unremarkable, my elevated BP and heartrate are proof of the pain I experience the APRN offered me no resolution and stated they had never had a pt like me! I requested that I see the 'Dr' and he would not see me.....Really? Needless to say I called bcbs and will dispute the charges. He should b ashamed of himself advertising as pain management. There is no talent or training associated w simply reading test results in my opinion.

The entire staff clearly understands the challenges faced by those with chronic pain. As a physician myself I hope our office always achieves the same level of compassionate care exhibited by all members of Dr Grahlings team!

Having had moderate to severe back pain on and off for years, I knew it was time to do something. Not being a fan of Doctors or procedures, I had put it off long enough. I was referred to Dr. Grahling by a respected neurosurgeon. His team of P.A.'s spent a long time taking my history and zeroing in on the problem. I then spoke with Dr.Grahling and he suggested epidural injection at L5-S1. Not only did he present himself professionally, but had a great sense of humor. He is one of those people who you feel confident about. There is also no sense of rushing you and treating you as just another patient. On the day of the procedure, his nursing staff was exremely professional and most compassionate. They are to be commended in all respects. Only an hour or so after the procedure, I have no pain for the first time in a long time. But should it return, I would look forward to another appointment. They are that good.

Dr Grahling is one of the best doctor I ever had. I have been dealing with severe back pain for a long time and finally someone was able to look at the whole picture and find a solution for my problem.

Dr. Grahling and his staff are literally the best around. they run the office so organized and the staff is always so friendly.

I am an older woman and have spent my life going to different specialists to try to treat my pain. Dr. Grahling is able to maintain my quality of life. I can garden again. i can play with my grandkids.

The overall experience was perfect. I have suffered along time with back pain and now I feel great. The office Staff is amazing!!!! I would recommend this Dr. to everyone!!!

After visiting 2 other doctors who only wanted to push pills on me for back pain, I went to Dr. Grahling. He gave me a facet joint injection that quickly helped. I had 3 of these shots, before we decided on a nerve ab;ation for longer relief. I also went to see a surgeon who told me my best option was the ablation done by Dr. Grahling. He is one of the few specialists in the area. He respected my desire not to take pills for pain. After one day, the nerve ablation has me feeling better than I have in a long time. Dr. Grahling pinpointed the problem and remedied it. I would recommend him to anyone who wants answers.

Getting an appointment was a pain in the neck. Speaking with the rude person should have tipped me off to the service that I would receive.First visit Dr Grahling wanted me to come back within a week to do a "procedure". He spent some time with me explaining that I needed this "procedure" right away. This seemed rushed and he did not want to spend time with me. I was rushed out to the front desk to make another appointment, this one was easy to make. I returned and had the "procedure" done with only Valium used as a pain killer to stick needles into my spine. I left there in worse shape than I had arrived. When I asked for something for the pain he would not even talk to me. He had a nurse come and tell me I would be given Cymbalta. I declined and went to my PCP who then prescribed me a pain killer and my PCP apologized for Grahlings behavior and promised me that he would never refer me to another hack like Grahling. Stay away from this guy, he just want to do "procedures" and rush you out wether or not it will help you.My new Pain Management specialist told me that the "procedure" was not necessary and should not have been done on me.

i have never had a better experience with a doctor or dr's office in my life. After seeing 6 doctors (3 surgeons, one pain management doctor, one general practitioner), I went to dr. Grahling who after confirming his diagnosis with two simple tests did a one hour painless procedure on my lower back. Two of the surgeons were ready to operate, one with a disk fusion, the other with a replacement disk. Dr. Grahling figured out it was arthritis in my lower back. From the receptionists to the nurses to Dr. Grahling himself, I had excellent nurturing efficient care. I now have a life that isn't dominated by back pain. I don't know how to thank them for this gift except to encourage anyone with back or neck pain to make an appointment.

I went to Dr. Grahling with severe pain in my right leg. After sending me for an MRI, Dr. Grahling evaluated the report and told me that I had 3 herniated discs L3-L5 that were causing the pain in my back and leg. Dr. Grahling performed a few different type of procedures for me using x-ray guided fluoroscopy and I feel like a million bucks! I haven't been pain free in years and now I am. I thought I'd have to take medications or something but Dr. Grahling described that's not what INTERVENTIONAL pain management is about. He is a board certified anesthesiologist and board certified pain management doctor and he knows his stuff. by far, the best I've ever seen!
