Dr. Spencer Thomas Bertram, MD

I came here for pain relief. The staff is rude, the Doctor is very rushed doing his procedures, does not take careful time with the patient, is not helpful with your issue, does not spend time with you when you come in for a consult and makes his conclusions fast say less than 10 minutes to come to a conclusion about if he can help you or not, will not return a phone call if you have a problem from a procedure ie more pain, staff is inexperienced which makes me nervous, the entire process is so bad that I would not want anyone I know seeing this man as he only cares what he is paid for by my insurance. HE DOES NOT CARE FOR YOU THE PATIENT!

Dr. Bertram is an excellent Doctor. He is caring, compassionate & well qualified in his field. We are grateful for his knowledge of pain management. He is through and always Professional.

Dr Bertram is a kind and compassionate man. His approach to treatment is personalized, proficient, & paramount. I have been to other “pain clinics” where treatment is more like an assembly line. That’s not the case with Dr Bertram. He truly has a concern for his patients. Dr Bertram has provided relief to my chronic back pain when others couldn’t. His knowledge and experience is priceless. And that’s why I drive more than a hour to his office. If you’re in extreme pain, this place is for you. td

I have an unusual disease and he is working with me to get relief. He cares and listens. None better.

Amazing,caring, compassionate, skilled with procedures, humble and a intelligent Doctor.

I had a horrible fall 2 1/2 years ago and hurt myself badly especially my neck. I went to Dr. B. for help and he has excellent bedside manner, excellent diagnosis of my condition, reviewed all tests I brought and my MRI, asked a lot of questions and was honest what he could do to help me. His staff is very professional and nice. I first had the nerve blocks then had to try the radio frequency treatment for the cervical area and it really helped my pain. He told me that I had to scale back my upper body workout but could still do it. He helped me understand my pain and gave me hope from patient experience of what to expect. I now have this treatment two times a year. Sure I over do it sometimes but now I understand my pain and can deal with it when I mess it up from time to time. This Doctor gave me my life back and I am very grateful!

I have received the best care with Dr. Bertram and his staff. They are all very friendly and he is so caring and takes the time to listen. My pain is being managed very well and I recommend him to everyone. I actually have a friend that did go to him and is now pain-free!

Dr. B. is the best pain Doc. he and his staff is very professional and very nice. He took a detailed history and you do not see a PA but the Dr. himself! He is concerned with what is wrong with you, asked a lot of questions and then decided on your treatment. He is very caring and concerned. I had a bad fall that messed up my neck, horrible pain so bad I did not know what to do BUT it did not need to be fixed as Dr. B. stated to me to my relief. I already had treatment from another Dr. that hurt me much worse but this Dr. gave me my life back! It took a bit of time but he did it. I do have to come back every 6 months to have a procedure done to keep my pain in check but it is all so very worth it (and not neck surgery is a plus). Also, it was nice that this is not a "traditional" pain clinic so there is no pain patients camping out in the waiting room for medication. This place is not like that. This Doctor does pain procedures on an outpatient basis period. I am forever grateful to Dr. Bertram and his skill to relieve my pain so I can function and lead a good health fulfilled life!!!

Dr. Bertram gave me my life back after a bad fall on ice. I hurt a lot of things but my neck was the most horrible. I told him my life was over but he gave it back to me although I have to be careful. I live a full life now! He is professional as is his staff. He is a caring Doctor who wants to help you with your pain. His is careful and explains everything and makes you feel you can trust him, and I do. He is good at explaining everything to you which is good. I and thankful I found him! He is the best!

I started seeing Dr Bertram in June. He was nice, fast and good bedside manner. In the last three months, The service in his office has gone down. I get drilled like I'm doing something wrong. I always follow the rules and don't lie. He decided on his own to switch my medication from an extended release to instant release. I liked the dilliud ER better than the instant release. I told him the next month I'm falling asleep so he switches me to perocets only. I told him I'm itching too much and my anxiety is worse.. plus my body is twitching and I'm so irritable. Then, he told me we're switching too much and he's putting me on norco only, instead of dilliud ER and Vicodin. I can't take norco they make me fall asleep. He insisted that I'm going on them. I just gave up, then the assist (who is very large - don't know her name) comes in with the script for , 3 a day instead of four. (Vicodin after the big scenario in his patient room with telling me I'm going on norco and not Vicodin). He has had a 180 shift in his care. He is not the caring doctor I first saw. I will not be going to him anymore.

I was so impressed with the time Dr. Bertram spent with me, assessing my pain and finding something that would give me some relief. And if he thought a steroid shot would help, he did it that very day.......no coming back later to get the shot! And his office called two days later to see how I was feeling! I've never had a doctor do that before! He is one of the most caring and skilled pain doctors ever! I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Bertrum took a long time with me going over my history and all about my pain. He gave me an epidural steroid shot that same day and after a couple days, my back/sciatic leg pain was gone! After two years of other doctor's attempts to give me some kind of pain relief and had failed. AND.....after a couple days, his office called to say doctor wanted to know how I was feeling! Never had that happen before! I would recommend him to everyone!

Dr Bertram is very kind and compassionate. When no one else could figure out the problem I was having he did. He is very committed to helping me with a pain solution. I have had a lot of doctors, but he exceeds them all !! I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with chronic pain!

Great Doctor and Staff. Great facilities
