AZ Pain Medicine Clinic - Pain Management Specialist in Phoenix AZ326 Google reviewsPatriciaJanuary 22, 2024They are very thorough upon your first visit to know and understand your needs. They are very courteous. Unfortunately they don’t bill insurance and aren’t contracted with any so the $149 you pay is unlikely to be reimbursed by insurance. However they are worth the $149 per visit. They do make every effort to prescribe the amount needed to truly alleviate your pain. Excellent care overall.Jeanette DouglasJanuary 18, 2024Thank you for all your help this month. Dealing with COVID ,and blood pressure issues.
