Patient Reviews
Sep 09, 2024
I have had the pleasure of being under Dr. Atkins care several times now. He is extremely profficient in placing and implanting various devices for chronic pain such as spinal cord stims and pain pumps. I currently have a pain pump he placed and tomorrow Dr Atkins will perform a spinsl cord stim trial for my complex regional pain syndrone type 2. He is a straight shooter and he tells it to you like it is, which I really appreciate. I am very hopeful he will be able to make thks SCS work on me during the trial, if anyone can make it work it’s Dr Donald P. Atkins. I feel honored to be underhis care, I feel very safe and well taken care of when he operates.
