  Each experience is very individual, After reading the 3 reviews I felt that it would be very hard to believe those who are actually ranting against this clinic. Maybe you had to wait a bit, let me tell you the real reason that pain clinics are different from a regular Dr's office.. As a pain patient I was seeing the same Dr in a Seattle Clinic "Minor & James". I was getting help there until my Dr retired (I was with him since 1995). Because of the government and what they are doing all clinics including Minor & James kicked ALL pain patients out. You might notice that there are many "pain clinic" opening up now...that is why. The doctors are overwhelmed and under the gun when helping pain patience. I read a lot about the pain clinics and I was so scared, most were there to get people off medication and treated patience as if they were Dr shopping and their goal was to get ALL pain patience off of medication. I didn't know what I would do if I had to deal with those clinics. Drs. all over would not take pain patience! There are many patients that have chronic pain and there just isn't a cure put pain medication helps many of us get through the day. Remember many of us are 70 years old and more, DA, The list is too long to share, there are many chronic pain issues for us; no cure. The day came when I went to see Dr Ispirescu and his staff. They took a lot of time looking at my records and the many years I've been in terrible pain. All the right questions were asked. Because I had been on the same dose of pain med since 1995 and they help me through each day, they kept me on my retired Dr's program. I was shocked because from what I read I thought that pain clinics were there to take you off pain medications. Naturally there are people that are on them for the wrong reasons and they may have to work on other ways to get their pain under control. Recently during an appointment a women asked me if I would consider giving them my DNA, I said yes. When I got the results back I was relieved to know that I was not going to become an addict (my DNA is very clear about results) The other finding was if I say I am in pain I AM IN PAIN. Then it covered some medication and explained what type would not be good for me and would react against my body (DNA). I thought that the Dr would benefit knowing what their patients DNA was so they could better plan for them. I was asked to do another DNA and am still waiting for the results, this one will cover most if not all types of medication and what I should avoid taking. I thought this pain clinic cared about their patients. It is up to us to be prepared with question and if possible create a plan that you can work on to help yourself. Not everything they have tried worked but at least we tried. I have to live with this pain and I am thankful that this clinic is there for us. I hope they can continue to work with us without the government scaring them to death or worse closing them down because they do help patients and if they would really benefit by taking pain pills and be respectful of them. I don't know what I will do (and all other real pain patients) if something would make them close. Many people would not be able to live because of the pain. When I see any Dr. I get the Dr's notes, it is helpful to have a record of what was done and said. Thank you Dr Ispirescu and staff. I wouldn't want your job, it would be very hard to deal with the variety of patients that come in. The people that are writing bad reviews apparently have not tried to get a Dr. to take them, there are not any in Sandpoint and all American cities. We are living in very unsettling times and at 70 years old this trouble is the last thing I thought our government would do to harm us. The people abusing medication are in the spotlight and the people who NEED the pain medications are being punished along with the doctors.
