The care I have received here has been great. The office staff and the doctor
really make me feel like I’m an individual and they care and are
concerned about my health.

I was referred to the clinic by my neurologist in October 2006 at which point I
was feeling both physically and mentally completely debilitated. I had been
suffering from the effects of an autoimmune disease that had robbed me of my
livelihood and personal life. After three years of getting worse, I thought the
light at the end of the tunnel was extinguished forever. But, Dr. Petraglia and
the rest of the staff have not only re-lit the light but I feel, each day, that
I am getting closer and closer to escaping the tunnel entirely. I have gone
from nearly bedridden to being able to travel, see friends and family, and
start planning on resurrecting my career. And the great thing about this
recovery is that it has not been done with a bunch of drugs that just replace
one set of symptoms with another; but with natural replacements, personal
encouragement, and exercise. The options here provide additional hope in that
if the initial therapy regiment does not achieve desired results, there are so
many more to choose from. The greatest treatment I have received from Dr.
Petraglia and the rest of the staff is hope—and that’s the best
medicine of all.

Dr. Petraglia has been very sensitive to my individual needs. I had been on
narcotic pain medications for 5 ½ years before coming here. I now use a
TENS unit as primary pain management. I have become more active again and have
better pain control than before. Dr. Petraglia has helped me get back to a
normal active life without narcotics.

Dr. Petraglia is a great doctor. The treatment I have received has helped me
walk. He is very polite and can get things done when others can’t.

I was in a lot of pain and hated life when I came to Fresno. My sister found
this office for pain management and I can’t thank you enough for the help
you have given me. The shots I get in my back allow me to enjoy what little
life I have left. The doctor so understands of how I feel and all of my needs
being in the health condition that I’m in. Thank you for making want to
wake up in the morning.

I have had the injection treatment done three times. The third one helped my
back a lot. Thank you

Dr. Petraglia has done three injection treatments on me over the last three
months. Two of the three procedures have worked great. He doesn’t give up
until he resolves your pain. He and his office staff are extra nice and always
put my pain needs first. They address all my questions and take very good care
of me. Dr. Petraglia lets you have a say in your pain management. He never
pushes anything on you that you don’t want. He also gives you a choice of
treatments. He has been a life saver for me. I was visiting the emergency room
daily until I found Dr. Petraglia. I have only been to the ER twice in the last
few months. Thanks Dr. P.

So far I have been very happy with the procedures the doctor has recommended
and his care for my well being and pain relief. He has wanted to help in any
way possible to make me feel comfortable with what he is doing and how he is
doing it.

Dr. Petraglia is a wonderful physician but I believe the severe nerve damage I
have is a difficult diagnosis to treat. The first nerve block I had worked for
about one month. It seems that the severe nerve damage and the bulging and
herniation is getting worse. I think I may need an L-scan on my left leg and
hip. Dr. Petraglia is the best pain management doctor I have ever been to. He
actually listens to his patients and treats accordingly.

I have been treated very well with Dr. Petraglia. The injection therapy was
very good for my pain and his personal attention to my medication therapy has
been great. I appreciate the fact that he listens to me on a very personal
level. I would also give Bettye and the rest of the staff special thanks.

SJVIPMG is wonderful. I’ve been to several pain clinics and no one
compares to them. Dr. Petraglia (being the leader) reflects on his team. He
listens, finds the best treatment for you, works with you and has your best
interest at heart. The injections have helped but there are also other
therapies, he offers, that I can do to help my pain, such as nutrition,
vitamins, and physical therapy. I know that I won’t be totally and
completely fixed but I will be back to a human being once again. Thank you so
much Dr. Petraglia, Bettye and staff. You are so greatly appreciated and I
recommend you to anyone who needs a great doctor.

I can not say enough good things about the treatment I have received here at
the SJVIPMG, from Dr. Petraglia and all of his staff as well as the specialized
therapists. Since I’ve been coming here, less than 6 months, my pain in
various places has decreased extremely. I have gotten a combination of
medication, laser therapy, massage, and injection therapy. Dr. Petraglia is
very thorough and sensitive to an individuals needs, and has helped me
tremendously. His staff and co-associates are so friendly and professional as
well. I can get most of my treatments right here at this office instead of
being sent all over the place. I have a few friends at other pain management
centers and they do not report the same quality of care at all. Dr. Petraglia
doesn’t just medicate you to cover you pain and send you away. He tries a
combination of very effective therapies. However, he is also knowledgeable and
compassionate enough to prescribe pain medication when there is a real need and
he cares about his patients being as comfortable and functional as we can be.
He and his staff also take the time needed for each patient, even staying later
into evening hours which I find to be an exception compared to most
doctor’s offices. I am very pleased and recommend this medical group to
anyone who has any form or cause of pain. You will be treated well and get real
relief in a short amount of time.

I have been very impressed with Dr. Petraglia’s dedication to relieving
my pain. Most doctors want to give you a band aid for an open chest wound and I
have not found that to be true here. Everyone here really cares about the
patients. The staff is very understanding and helpful with any problems I might
have. I hope I never have to try look for another pain management doctor.

I sincerely appreciate all that Dr. Petraglia and the people at the SJ
Interventional Pain Medical Group have done for me. I have been able to get
comprehensive treatment here which was not always easily available to me.
I have suffered with chronic pain since 1991. Often I feel that I have to be my
own problem-solver and have to find my own solutions when I see doctors, some
of whom have never treated someone with my condition. Dr. Petraglia actually
presents his ideas tome, and then he allows me to asks questions and make my
own decisions. He is an excellent listener when I need to ask about something,
and that is a huge relief for me!
I am also grateful that Dr. Petraglia has such a range of knowledge and
skills. He is the one doctor in town who can perform the periodic injections I
need to keep the pain at bay. I use to have to find a friend to travel with me
to San Francisco for my injections 4-5 times each year. In addition, Dr.
Petraglia can write my prescriptions and look for more current medications that
might work better for me. I have tried some of the wellness products that Dr.
Petraglia has offered. While they have not worked for me, I am impressed that
as a doctor he is willing to offer different avenues of treatment in hope that
one might work as an adjunct to or better than another.
Dr. Petraglia’s staff is wonderful. I really appreciate that they have
been available when he is away. They even return my call if I leave a message.
The staff at SJ Interventional Pain Medical Group is always professional and
friendly.
I truly value the treatment I receive at SJ Interventional Pain Medical
Group. It is comprehensive yet prudent and fits my needs perfectly while I
continue to need care for my chronic pain.
