I am writing this to Thank everyone at Doctor Atlins office especially Doctor Neil Atlin .. I have been diagnosed with RSD/CRPS since 2005. I have been through so many ups and down until I came into Dr. Atlin in 2008. He has been such a blessing since I started seeing him, I have come a long way as well . I remember coming in and he knew exactly what I needed to help with the extreme pain and my depression. I even remember crying to him which was terrible but he was able to get me feeling much better .
I have a stimulator implant as well as a pain pump now being the progression of it but had several injections along the ways as well for immediate relief.
Dr Atlin I greatly appreciate everything you have done and continue to do for me and help me stay in as little to no pain as possible so that I can enjoy my family. Thank You for your knowledge in RSD/CRPS. I have no idea where I would be without you being my doctor for all these yrs.
Thanks 😊

I have been in constant pain . I couldn't look left or right. I had seen other doctors and no help. My first visit he diagnosed me what was wrong. He did a cervical epidural. I was so scared. The case manager showed me a video. The person got no anesthesia. Dr Atlin came to see me before the procedure. He calmed me down just the way he let me know it was going to be ok. It worked. His staff also were so pleasant. I am almost pain free and highly recommend him..

Dr. Atlin has been my pain specialist Dr. for almost 10 years and he has been instrumental helping me manage my lower pain and my mental health. The women he hired to help run his practice are wonderful, a joy, very helpful and polite. They are always smiling and ready to help you. Your business can only go as far as your customer service. That’s why I drive almost 3 hours from Killeen to Dallas to see Dr. Atlin.

Below is a response by one of Dr Atlin's flunkies in regards to a review which was left. Read it carefully. This individual left a review, and the response is the patient is "mentally ill, depressed" and suffers from substance abuse.

Folks...read the reviews here and the other sites. How can so many people be wrong? One or two bad reviews is understandable, as chronic pain is very difficult. All these bad reviews are not accidental. This is sickening, that a DR would respond this way. Very impressive.

Dr. Neil Atlin's response

We are sorry for your harsh feelings. Dr. Atlin shows the upmost respect and professionalism to all patients. It is known that a positive attitude has a positive effect on chronic pain patients and improves outcomes. Dr. Atlin strives to maintain that positivity with all of our patients, however patient attitudes due to depression, mental illness, substance dependence, etc also affects the patient experience and hinders the recovery process.

Dr. Atlin has aided countless patients in managing their pain and regaining control of their life. His approach is direct and involves the patient taking an active role in recovery. We are sorry for your harsh feelings, but when patients' are faced with life-altering events that effect their activities of daily life, that often comes with the uninvited side-effects of depression, mood disorders and the like, if you note, we did not say substance abuse, we said dependence - and that often happens with complex cases. But again, Dr. Atlin & his staff strive to help even the most difficult of cases to regain control of their pain, so that they can have a better quality of life. Should you have additional harsh feelings, please feel free to contact the office directly and we can discuss further (469) 828-1692.

Actually I got 21, yes 21 ESI and by the last 2 times the injection left me totally numb from the waist down for so long and at quitting time, they didn't care I couldn't walk, I pissed myself was totally embarrassed. Impatient and too quick to get you gone. Had an estimulater that never made any difference in my pain. Seen too many grown people leave crying.

The Hippocratic Oath

"The oath dictates the obligations of the physician to students of medicine and the duties of pupil to teacher.

Is everyone misinformed??

The worst of the worst. I truly believe he relishes in the misfortune of others. The fact is, if he suffered from intractable chronic pain he would weep like a child.

He isn't stupid. He just can't connect on a human level with other people.

If there is an example of what is wrong with Allopathic medicine in 2023, Neil Atlin is the poster boy.
