I have been a patient of Dr. Hess's for 24 years. He is very compassionate, he's never once treated me as a just another patient. He's always made me feel part of my treatment plan and listened when things weren't working. He never gave up on me. He is a kind, caring doctor who makes you smile no matter your pain level.

Dr. Hess is simply the best! He's very thorough and actually listens. He truly cares about me as a person as well as my condition and has gone above and beyond to come up with a successful treatment plan. Everybody in the office that I've ever had contact with including office staff, nurses, assistants and anybody else there is just as friendly and wonderful. There aren't enough stars or positive comments available, Dr. Hess is truly a blessing.

Dr. Todd listened to me as a whole person not just a diagnosis. He considered all of my complex medical issues not just one issue and was able to put his amazingly vast amount of knowledge into a context that for the first time in my life I was able to understand why my body was in such severe pain. He was also able to provide insight and treatment options that have brought me the ability to cope with my deteriorating disabilities that I have not had in many years. Along with that I had suffered the horrific trauma of being assaulted by two nurses and he has patiently and caringly helped me overcome the fear of being able to go into a hospital environment without having to leave because of a panic attack. It is his compassion and humor that has made it possible for me to heal at least to this degree and for that I am EXTREMELY grateful. Without his help, I don't know if I would ever have been able to go into a hospital environment again. So I give Dr. Todd Hess 5++ STARS!! He is an incredible doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Todd for about 17 years now. I came to him with debilitating chronic neuropathy pain in my feet and hands. His treatment plan made the pain not only tolerable but increased my quality of life 10 fold by allowing me to perform tasks that were nearly impossible before I came to his clinic. His bedside manner puts one at ease immediately with humor mixed with solid advice. He is very thorough by listening and understanding you personal situation. I have never felt rushed as he makes sure he takes the time needed to answer all questions. It is obvious that he truly loves his work and has a vast knowledge base and will follow up when he needs to seek more information. His P.A, Una Edwardson is just as professional and understanding. If you seek kind, compassionate care, I give 5 stars to Todd, Una and all their staff at United Pain Center and owe them a deep amount of gratitude for helping me live a quality and productive pain free life.

I have chronic regional pain syndrome. I have been seeing Dr Hess for about a year and a half now. He is an amazing doctor and I feel blessed to have been referred to him. He understands the pain factor which some other doctors I have seen did not. I go in to see him aching like mad and leave laughing.

as long as you never disagree or ask for another opinion he is happy to see you along with 3 other people scheduled in your time slot. he's very nice the 1st time you see him but it fades the more you go. my condition requires treatment in the first 6-12 months for any chance of remission. after being treated for 4 months i was seeing some relief...until he dropped me like a hot potato! now, a year later, my condition has not only become intolerable but it has spread. i wasn't asking him to be a god and cure me. I was only wanting to focus on other areas of pain as well, he is suppose to be a pain doctor. he said i was belligerent the last time we met. i will admit to crying but he kept running in n out of the room and seemed irritated that i wanted more treatment. i'm only 37 of course i wanted to keep trying. he then says 'maybe you have MS' and walked out again. what kind of doctor kicks a chronic pain patient out? not just of seeing him but of UPC?! what happened to 'Do No Harm'

Dr Hess is the best Dr I have been too. He always has a smile on. As a matter of fact, he was dealing with his own pain one day and he was more than pleasant. I am a very difficult case and we are having a very hard time finding what works but he keeps trying and doesn't give up! Liability? I don't see him worried about this at all! At least not so I see it. He is concerned about the mental health state the pain puts his patients in and is just An awesome dr!!!'

Yeah, good luck getting into see these guys, the wait is getting well into next year. Seems there only 2 or 3 decent pain clinics in the entire state. Have heard good things about Hess though, you people should feel fortunate.
