He will never doubt that you are in pain, as some doctors do. He cannot cure your pain, but he can help you control it.
I have been a patient of Dr. Batlan for several years. I have had spinal injections which helped me quite a bit. The effects of the injections are cumulative. This means you may need a series of them and it may take a week or two to kick in. But they do help relieve the pain.
Currently I am taking a variety of medicines to control my chronic pain. Dr. Batlan helped me find which medication suited me best. We tried various types and delivery systems until we found a combination that allowed me to be alert enough to teach during the day and still control my pain.
Thanks to Dr. Batlan I enjoy my life again. He fosters a positive attitude in his patients. I have a wonderful job which I can now enjoy to the fullest because pain is no longer my main focus.
