Best Anesthesiologist Independence Near Me

Charlie Johnson: Only concern is how good your insurance is and how much they pay. Told me I would only get better if I get better health insurance. He complains about my insurance company at every visit.

L G A: 1. Doctor & Nurses & Staff have always been professional and thorough.2. Dr. Hancock is up-front and honest about what treatment can (or cannot) be considered in relation to any other health issues you may have.3. Many people forget that pain management is individualized to your own particular health/drug/pain history and may change over time!

swimmer gurl06: Karin is terribly rude. The staff are terribly rude. Karin needs to retire

anne barnes: I was referred to Dr Hancock after a hospitalization for a back injury. He is a somewhat more serious physician, but I was impressed for his thoroughness reading the medical history I had filled out, and spending time reading my MRI and explaining the results. My epidural procedure was excellent, minimal pain, and so far,( after 24 hours) good results. He is not "warm and fuzzy", but that is not as important to me as skill level. He is a seasoned physician, and also as an RN, this is important to me. His office staff, was very kind and compassionate, especially Robin, and Theresa. Karin the receptionist also very patient and kind. If you have reservations from the other less stellar reviews, I would put them aside.

victoria highfill: He's rude and a hypocrite. When I was seeing him I heard him tell myself and 2 others we were fat and maybe that why we would never find relief. Couldn't be bothered to explain alternative medicine, " because I wouldn't understand it anyway.

Nichole Covington: He is the worst dr was helpful first two timesThen told me he received a letter from the state saying I have been going to 6 pain clinic not possible he was the first ever asked him to show me he and his nurses could not find any letter and he still refused to treat me had one inject it hurt I will not go back going someplace els

Kathy Romo: Rude, unprofessional and without a doubt the worst doctor I’ve ever seen.

Shannon Sampsel: I would not ever go back to this doctor. Ever. I went to him out of convenience because I work at centerpoint medical center. He is a complete joke of a doctor. Doesn't care about you or your pain or that you are there for a reason. His nursing staff were just as rude. I expected to be treated like a person and instead was treated like I wasn't. I'm absolutely horrified that he treats patients. He needs his medical license removed. He needs his practice shut down. He only cares about money and injections, not your well being or helping you get out of pain.

Wikked pixxie: Based on previous reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but my first appointment was this morning and I have to say he was pleasant; not overly talkative, but not horrible. He was helpful in explaining what my prior x-ray and MRI showed, and also in explaining what to expect going forward, not only with my insurance company but also with my treatment. All in all I was very satisfied - if anything changes I'll be sure to update this!Update: after several appointments over the course of about 6 months I did finally see the rudeness others have experienced. He had put me on a different anti inflammatory and asked how it was working for me. I assumed he was referring to whether it was helping my back pain, since that's what I was there for, so I told him it wasn't really helping. His response, in a rather snooty tone, was, "Then why are you taking it?" Um, because you prescribed it?!? After several painful injections I decided the pain in my back wasn't nearly as bad as the injections (which weren't helping anyway) so I stopped seeing him. I can't seem to update the number of stars I've given him, but if I could I would change it from 4 to 2.

cindi Mills: I read the reviews on this Doctor (if you can even call him a "DOCTOR) They were mostly negative, however I try to give the benefit of the doubt. Boy was I wrong in this instance!! This Doctor is HIGHLY POMPOUS AND ARROGANT!!! He told me that I was not a candidate for surgery because I am too fat. He proceeded to tell me that No one gives cortisone shots like he does!!! Audacity in spades!! Don't waste your gas effort and time on this creep!! Evidently he only helps those who are extremely wealthy and / or have phenomenal insurance!!! I will definitely NEVER EVER go to any one else with poor reviews!!

Nancy Nichols-Tyler: Worst Dr EVER! Don’t waste your time, money or get your hopes up. I would never recommend anyone to him.He said to me: “ Corn Cob Up my saddle”. A doctor is supposed to be kind and caring and that is not the case. His staff was robotic and walking around on egg shells. Just find another Dr!

Jimmie Whitbey: Told me I was on too.many meds. Also all but said he doesn't like helping smokers. I went to him in hope of getting help, so I could get off pain meds.He told me to get an MRI in which I will, but I sure in not going back to this arrogant, conceited , condescending fellow. I don't even refer to him as a doctor. Guess I am off to see a neurologist. Should of went there in the first place.

Theresa Hieronymus: He was like talking to a robot, when I was going to him. When my daughter went to him, he talked down to her and her husband, and was very rude to them as well as his staff. Unfortunately, those aren't the only reason I rated him so low.Because of my insurance requirements, I have to return two weeks after an injection to have the results evaluated, before insurance will approve another injection. Following my last injection, I had to take my 3 year old and 8 year old granddaughters with me when I went for the evaluation. Both girls were silently watching videos on electronic devices, the 3 year old in a stroller, and were not making a sound or moving around in their seats. He refused to allow me to bring them into the consult room, even though there was no exam involved, only a question and answer consult, and there are no signs posted anywhere in that practice that stayes children are not allowed in the office. I was told I would have to reschedule.My mother had a stroke the day before the rescheduled appointment. I called and cancelled and explained I would call back to reschedule after my mother's condition stabilized.The weeks later I receive a bill in the mail. Both appointments werevlisted as "no show". I called to have the charges removed, but the receptionist would have to ask the doctor to approve it, because he makes that decision personally. Apparently I only gave 20 hours cancellation notice, not a full 24, and he is allowed to say who can and cannot come into the room. I had the option of leaving the children in the waiting room alone. (Are you kidding me????)The charges were never removed, and I have since switched pain centers.He is an egotistical bully with no bedside manner or personality.

Candace Hall: Horrible bed side manner. Talked down to my mom and basically said she didn't know anything about her prior surgeries. Very rude.

Nina Epperson: He is an excellent doctor! Provides great treatment. He is not an extrovert! Who cares? I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Kasey Wiley: I was referred to Dr. Hancock and was worried based on the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised at how informative and knowledgeable he was. He assisted me with managing my pain, described why i was having so much pain and then referred me to a surgeon for further evaluation. His bedside manner isn't as warm as other physicians I have seen but he definitely knew his stuff and I would for sure see him again.

Adelei Wade: Pleaded with the doctor to offer some kind of relief when my back pain made it so I could no longer stand at work. His response was "get a different job". Refused to fill out paperwork for FMLA even though the discharge paperwork stated that I could not be on my feet or sitting up for 48 hours after receiving injections. I'm going to a different doc ASAP.

Shawn Owen: Not sure what these other guys are talking about. Dr Hancock is by far the best Pain Management Doctor I have ever seen.

Miriam Keith: I would not even give this man a star. He is HORRIBLE!!! He has the WORST bedside manner ever. I have has injections in my spine before from a different facility. This man doesn't even know what he is doing. I sat in my room listening to him yell at older confused patients. Today he accused me of lying and would not refill a medication he gave me that was for 1 month that I made stretch 9 weeks. He told me he is the dr and he gets to decide to refill or not refill and he decided not to refill mine and he owed me no explanation. I left in tears. This man needs to be out of business!!!

Ai Technician: Absolutely terrible experience. Get dr Dan Hancock out of this building!!! Look at his health grade, a true loser! Grrr, fat old white men with the ego the size of whale shite

Lillie Walker: After suffering from back pain even after back surgery for more than a year I was sent to KC pain center, Dr. Chaplick. He and his staff is very caring and experienced with the type of pain, my life style and age in how I could manage my life without so much pain. It worked!

Specifically my “is this gonna hurt “ question as I lay on my belly waiting on the procedure to begin. The answer was truthful and not sugar coated and I appreciated that because my mind had me freakin out! Lol.. it was not as bad as I had envisioned and Dr. Chaplick was so nurturing and kind and told me how great I did even though I knew my dramatics were worthy of some eye rolling lol.

Dr Chaplick has a wonderful bedside manor and is amazing at knowing how to treat pain. I have had injections for almost 20 years. He by far does the best job out of all Dr's I have seen of getting the injections EXACTLY where they need to go.
