Dr. Jonathan Craighead

I had knee replacement surgery on 12-4-17 and the op went great, I had ZERO pain after surgery but once the epidural wore off, the pain started to become excruciating, I was sent home and given a total of 120 PERCOCET (5-325) and that was it! I was told by the nurse there will be no more refills ! I used my last PERCOCET yesterday, and I am still in a significant amount of pain, the nurse finally agreed to give me a prescription for TRAMADOL, but this does not control my pain at all and gives me an upset stomache. I am trying everything I can (from acupuncture to massages and zen meditation) to control my pain, but it is not working, needless to say I am very disappointed in Dr. Craighead's approach to pain management after major surgery, I understand the issue with the opioid crisis, but there is nothing in my background that would indicate addiction issues ( I had my other knee replaced 4 years ago by a different Dr. who retired) and I do expect my pain to be adressed without having to beg for it ! I feel that this shows a serious lack of compassion and understanding of the serious impact pain has on your quality of life.

the staff was robotic and not engaging. Dr. Craighead did not spend much time with me.

I had a hip replacement a year ago....and am VERY pleased with my care under Dr Craighead and staff. I find both him and his staff....to include the receptionists...to be friendly, responsive, professional, and caring. Carol, his chief nurse, is alone worth her weight in gold. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Dr Craighead to others. Why should I? He gave me back my ability to walk without pain! By the way, Dr Craighead is a practicing Christian and definitely "walks the talk."

I went in with shoulder pain after a fall, they did an x-ray in the office so I didnt have to go somewhere else. That didn't show anything so they sent me for an MRI the next day and called the same day with the results. I was very pleased with the timeliness overall. I went back in the next week (at my earliest time available). They would have seen me the following day for a steriod injection but i was unavailable. I can't speak to the cost as mine is covered by insurance and haven't received the statement yet.

he charged me $582 just to tell me there was nothing he could do for my broken upper arm. Called the service non invasive treatment of a broken bone. He did not show me where it was broken, the x-rays or results of the MRI. He only advised me not to raise it above my head or not to lift anything heavy and come back in 6 weeks for another x-ray. Charges far exceeded the treatment.
