I saw Dr Gingrich from 2011-2014 for chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease. As others have stated, Dr Gingrich is one of the kindest Dr's I have ever seen. He truly cares about people's pain. His office is the only one I would leave where I did'nt feel terrible from the comments Dr's would make about 'the opioid epidemic'.
What we have today in the US is a lack of empathy for people truly in chronic pain. Especially IF you don't wear a suit or have 'alternative' hair styles/dress. (Thought THAT was over in 1970!)
People with chronic pain are being discriminated against because SOME people use opiods NOT for pain.
8 yrs ago I stopped taking narcotic pain meds due to terrible side-effects (& berating from some Drs and staff). 8 yrs later- we are still 'moving in' our home. I cannot take anything but Tylenol (worthless) and Gabapenton (little help) for pain. I cannot do anything and wish I could find pain relief so I could get finished moving in. It would also be nice to 'get a life' as well as get out of the house, groceries, clean house, cook, go out with friends for a half hour.
Wish I had Dr Gingrich as a doctor NOW.

This Dr more interested in revenue from drug companies than patients health. His lack of communication and lack of genuine interest in the health of his patients and his greed had me taking insane amounts of opiates and pain meds that were not FDA approved for my Condition. I spent a week in utter agony in hospital as a direct result of his over prescribing opioids. This Doc is dangerous.

In a world of fear recently he is on his game. He cares about the patient and cares weather you have a quality of life. Have suffered chronic pain for over 20 years and he has been the only one who cares weather I get up every day. Thank you so. No one ever listens or takes the time, I was always told sorry don't know how to help you.

Been with Dr. Gingerich for 5 years and am very happy to continue. He is knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. Any comments to the contrary are not patients of this Dr.

I have been a pain management patient for almost 15 yrs. and in that time frame I have had 4 different doctors, no fault of mine. If i had discovered Dr. Gingerich from the start, i never would have had to change physicians. He is always offering to use various therapies to make me more comfortable, to which have been very helpful. I never feel rushed, and I never have to wait more than just a few short minutes during appointments. he has made it clear that if I need to see him for any reason, that I don't have to wait for my appointment day and can just drop in. He is no doubt a REAL pain management physician, not one of those pill pushers so common to this field of specialty now days.
God Bless him, cause he really cares about his patients.

Dr. Gingerich was not very interested in what I had to say about my pain condition. He comes across as an authoritarian kind of physician. Receptionist was unfriendly.

Staff and doctor are rude, impatient, and lacking in compassion. It is "their way or the highway." My treatment was at their clinic was hostile and uncaring.
