This review has been much overdue. Prior to my treatment by Dr. Villalobos, I had been treated for pain by 3 different medical institutions for the past 11 years. The injection treatment by Dr. Villalobos has been much more painless. Unlike the other medical institutions, I feel very little of the treatment procedure; and that is without the sedation I was given at the other medical institutions. The treatment itself last much longer and is much more effective in releaving my pain. Just as important is the professionalism and Patient Care (two words that no longer exist in other medical facilities) that Dr. Villalobos and his staff of clerks and nurses continue to provided. The treatment is evedent not only at the Lake Mary Paine Center, but also, at the facility where the injection procedure takes place. As I said to my wife, I finally found the right group of people for me; I don't think I have to go anywhere else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Villalobos for seven years and thanks to him I have been able to stay working for this length of time. Dr. Villalobos is the most compassionate and understanding doctor I've ever been to. He listens to you and spends time with you and not many doctors do this these days. I recommend him highly.

Head Dr (Salinas) is very cruel and rations medications to the point they are ineffective. Other Drs. (such as Dr Ortega) is very good and does care about and spends much time with patients and is very careful to get an accurate medical history to provide the best possible treatment. However The head Dr will not allow most effective medications to be prescribed. They do not care how much pain you are suffering. They push various expensive steroid injections that are known to give no long term pain relief and are actually harmful long term. I would avoid if you have serious pain. If you have only mild problems Dr. Ortega would be the best choice. She actually does care about the patients.

This is a compasionate and caring group of doctors and staff. You are treated with respect and dignity each visit. You are required to provide blood work randomly and must have an MRI, or other proof of a ligitimate pain issue. They are conservative. If you are pill shopping, look elsewhere. There is zero tolerance on blood evals.
