Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2020
I am surprised about all of the negative ratings with Dr. Sams. I met with him and discussed my history. He was very caring and listened to my history which doctors often do not take the time to do! Since I had a lot of experience with pain management he thought it would be beneficial for me to read his book. He gave me a copy. I have since read it and it has been very enlightening to me. I think anyone with chronic pain would benefit from reading his book. He has a lot of knowledge to share. He referred me to biofeedback. I have been working with a neuropsychologist. She has been a delight and I have learned how to manage my pain more effectively by using the tools she has given me. I am able to bring down my pain levels on my own without using medication. Biofeedback teaches you how to do this on your own. I have been dealing with chronic pain since 2006. This is the first time I have had a pain management doctor refer me to biofeedback. I sure wish I had learned this sooner!
