Patient Feedback & Reviews

Had a rough start when I was first referred here for my post op pain medication. Seemed a bit disorganized and kept calling back and forth and they did not send me all the “forms” to fill and sign. Since I have only done telemedicine, I have not yet met the staff, but the ones on the phone were polite and friendly. The PA that consulted me was friendly and very attentive to my needs. I would recommend.

Friend had me contact them after learning about my chronic pain. I’m a retired LEO and know how much of a pain finding quality care. This is an amazing place to find not only pain management care but real support. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and relaxed atmosphere make it feel like you’re friends.

I did not expect such an amazing pre-op experience. The entire staff was very competent, confident and professional. They were very succinct in their messaging and maintained good eye contract throughout my visit. I was very impressed with this team. As a result, my anxieties/fears of undergoing surgery on my spine reduced significantly after meeting with this incredible team.

This was a great experience from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable, caring, organized, and even setting the new level of expectations for what a care facility should look like and how it should make you feel. PA Markay made herself available to me 24×7 to help me manage my pain Post Op. She is awesome!

NuHope has been beyond amazing!! I can’t thank the staff enough for their help. I was a wet blanket when I came in after getting off extremely hard medications for the last 15+ years cold turkey!! Ms. Becky immediately helped get me on medications that aren’t killing me and has done more in the last 2 months than all my previous doctors in 15+ years! I truly appreciate NuHope and everything they have done for me and my family thanks them as well.

I had surgery with Dr Bruggeman 3 wks ago and I have to say that it was a very smooth experience. Every person and part of this process has been pleasant and easy to work with. From Kim Ruiz at Dr Bruggeman’s office, Brandon, Jose and Mike at Exact to Jacqui at NuHope. Every part of this process has been so helpful and each person has had a compassionate and understanding way with their patients. I’m very grateful for the care I’ve gotten

I went to NuHope with not a lot of confidence…..other pain doctors seem to have their hands tied and don’t really listen to me .
The staff at NuHope were extremely courteous and seemed to really understand the word “Pain “ . They said they could help me if I would follow their program!
I truly believe they want to help me ! I have been in pain for20 years or more !
First time i have walked out of a doctors office with a smile on my face !

Great patient experience for post-operative pain management. My take away was that NuHope values and invests in high quality individuals/providers with good clinic process flow. Providers were not only competent, but kind and empathetic. I wholeheartedly recommend NuHope for post-op pain management.

They make your pain level less in a tremendous amount; I am completely off pain medication now because of them. Jessica (their counselor ) is wonderful; she helped me so much with my anxiety and pain too. This is definitely the right place if your doctor send you there.
