Pamela Yarbrough: They are liars and lie thru your initial meeting in order to cut you off your medication after 22 years and not caring. They signed my death certificate. Very abusive

William Rice: The staff were very courteous and Dr. Tonkin was very knowledgeable of the Spinal Cord Stimulator! I feel that my quality of life will improve under their care!

Tom Alff: It was awesome the stimulator worked great. I cried when they took it out hopefully they don't take long but another one in. Cause I loved it and I felt that good in a long time. The nurse is great And Laura was fantastic. The stimulator really really work.the fantastic.

Jimmy Westmoreland: They treat you bad. They don't care about people's feelings and there pain. I wouldn't suggest anybody to go there.

Deanna Cook: My first appointment with this place, and I was given another patients paperwork ,when I said this isn't mine the person at front desk said I can't believe the doctor did that. Then I was told they pretty much won't help with pain meds ,they push surgery that I don't want at this time as I don't have a support system, I have to work. I got the feeling that this place is all about the money. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Iwontbegoing back. I've already found another doctor who is helping me to stay working. This place is unprofessional!!

j-bird DeVane: I’ve had a great experience with Elite Pain Management and Dr. Tonkin. They helped me do a Spinal Cord Stimulator trial and then coordinated the procedure with Abbott.

Matt Hudson: Amanda T 👎😡

Max Hembree: Didn’t do anything to stop pain wanted you to have a get off pills and get a nerve blocker in a quick as possible so they could get money from the nerve blocker system

Elizabeth Seufert: This office has improved from past experiences.Shout out and Kudos to the...MA/PA/Nurse? Chris. He was patient, personable, and kind throughout our appointment. The field needs 1,000 more like him. The Doc Amanda was also kind and considerate.Thank you for your service to the community.

Adrienne Adams: BE SURE AND CHECK YOUR INSURANCE CLAIMS THEY HAVE BEEN CHARGING MY MOM 45 $ A VISIT AND THEN BILLING THE INSURANCE FOR 35$ SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE INSURANCE FRAUD TOO. DO NOT LET THEM TALK YOU INTO ANY PROCEDURES THEY WILL JUST HAVE YOU WALKING HUNCHED OVER AND BILLING YOUR INSURANCE LIKE CRAZY. WE REFUSED ALL IN HOUSE PROCEDURES AND OPTED FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY THROUGH PRIMARY CARE AND IT'S WORKING GREAT. It's a bunch of LIARS THAT WORK HERE This place is a joke...waited over an hour and a half to be seen. The Drs just have em prompt to meetings for 30 minutes while patients wait in rooms. If I'm ever late I have to reschedule or can't be seen.

E Bowman: More of a controlled dope syndicate with a Greyhound bus terminal lobby. Parking is NOT handicap friendly, and unless it has been upgraded.....no handicap door assist opener. You are degraded and made to feel like a junkie. This is a last resort place if you are looking for help in managing pain.

Veda Ridlon: Money,Money, money they keep you coming back and don't accomplish anything except taking your money.

Tracy Smith: Not sure what is going on there now that Strankmeyer has gone. My Mother whom is 77 yrs old and has had 2 failed back surgeries botched by a surgeon 7 yrs ago, with scoliosis on top of it. Also, 3 different cancers!! A normal visit is about an hour and half.. always behind. It takes us 2 hours to get to this place too. It is usually an all day event for us. The apt this time was normal. Went to the pharmacy the next day to pick up meds ordered. Well they were out of one pain med. I was told by them that they have been out for over a month waiting for meds from suppier. That there was little possibility of it coming in soon. That they had a list of folks waiting for their meds. So I called Elite to see about transferring the order to a pharmacy that has the medicine. Which I had called around and found. Done this before with absolutely no problems. WOW, I was told no. That Elite Pain Management would not put the pressure on another pharmacy to fill the prescription. I guess they are in business to care more about pharmacies than patients. Sounds to me like Dr was just too lazy or stressed or just didn't "want" to cancel the one order and resubmit another to a new pharmacy. When I asked about what happens when my mother goes into withdrawals, I was told to take her to an urgent care and they could help her.What do you think? Hummm

T S: Very confusing and Dr is not professional nor is some of the staff discrimination is. Very apparent they will leave u with the pain u came. In with

Dan Walder: Dr Tolkin and the staff here are AMAZING!!!! Attentive, professional, friendly and communicative!! THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

Karen Griffis: They usually treat me nicely but the lady I seen today was very rude, I missed my appointment last Friday because my vehicle broke down and I tried and tried calling them to reschedule and was unable to get an answer sorry I don’t have a brand new vehicle. Learn to answer the phones . I get treated like that again I will not return

Grosche Transport: The incredible shrinking business!

Bill T: These people will be late for their own funeral. Expect to wait about an hour past your appointment time to be seen.

Judy Anderson: They lie, don't give you the right information. They tell you that you will have a procedure done, then when you call to confirm the appointment there is no procedure scheduled after I took off work to recover. Won't go back.

LeAnn Mesmer Studley: I will only give them one star for how clean the office is.Other then that I strongly do not recommend this office for pain management.In my case I was warned not to go to them. But my pc refered me anyways after my pain clinic closed. I explained to elite that I have a surgeon for my neck I just need to get the green light due to my medical issues. They tried to force a procedure on me by with holding my meds if I didn't do it. When the procedure did not work. They kicked me out of the program and told me to find another pain clinic.1. My mri showed them that I needed neck sugar not the nurves killed. .2. I was not put under or even had time for the volume to take effect before the procedure. It hurt like he'll. The tech was rude and told me to stop screaming.3. I am on oxygen my o2 drops when I am on my stomach. They didn't care. They told me to deal with it. To turn up my o2 if I felt light headed. That's not how that works.4. When I was still hurting the next day and the doctor did his follow up. He said. Their is nothing they can do they are releasing me. To find an alternate pain release.I don't know about you. But I would strongly insist if you get refered here to please talk to another pain management clinic. Go to Branson if you have to. Just don't go their.

Kristen Crawford: Very poor experience. The doctor I dealt with was verbally abusive.

Venita Morelock: The doctor here is "Awful". The Cox website shows that he specialized in so many different ways to treat pain. But yet I'm still no closer to relieveing my pain. All he's done is prescribe me a muscle relaxer that I've already tried before; And tell me that it takes time to work. Yet he would no prescribe me something else to dull the pain at least till that would kick in. Your better off just looking for a better educated doctor.

Chris Watts: My husband was referred here May 19th, he has yet to get an appointment. I was informed they have referrals from March 2017 still waiting to be seen. They only have 1 Dr, the 2 nurse practitioners have quit.His specialist and primary Dr don't want to fill his script which leaves him cut off and in pain. One script for Tramadol.Clearly this solution isn't working.I would love to know what Cox plans to do to fix this problem. There has to be hundreds of other patients in Springfield and Greene County left in this same situation.
