Dr Hare has been my doctor for several years. He and his staff at the office and the surgery center provide excellent care and make me feel comfortable talking about my health issues. They always accommodate the need for an appointment right away and don’t keep me waiting at my appointment time.

Treatment options
Treatment is planned once the pain source is located. Each pathway below links to a page that explains what happens during the procedure, how long it takes and what to expect afterwards.
Before treatment
Treatment starts with a diagnosis
Image-guided diagnostic injections help locate the pain source before interventional treatment is planned. A medial branch block, for example, tests whether the facet joints are carrying the pain before radiofrequency ablation is considered.
