After having extenuous back surgery I had several areas of pain and neuropathy. I was getting discouraged after seeing a few pain management specialists. My orthopedists office recommended DR De La Pena and I must say she is Amazing !!!! She performed an ablation on my back which was a procedure where the nerves are burned . This has been nothing short of a miracle for me . Zeke Orlinsky

My experience has been amazing. I can't thank Dr. Pena and her staff enough for thinking outside the box and conducting this procedure. The results from this procedure have saved my life. The SGB shot has allowed my symptoms to be reduced or eliminated enough to work on the psychological aspects of PTSD effectively.

I waited for hours expecting to be seen by the doctor. Instead I bonded with the entire staff and passed the time. Luckily the staff is "down" and fun to hang with. They give good relationship advice and suggest I may be ready for "Dancing With The Stars." You know what, I think they are right! They were supportive and fully willing to accommodate any and all request. Luckily for them, the three hour wait provided me enough time to write this review. Not to mention, one of the staff agreed my "buttocks" is in the top 5 percentile. Even if it was too pale for her liking. Another fact I tend to agree with. May look into speedos. All in all, I think we are all going dancing together and may become lifelong friends. Always good becoming friends with people who can write prescriptions.
