Texas Back Institute

Was a patient about 5 years back. I went to them as referred by my PCP at the time for pain management. It wasn’t my first or last place that I’ve been to. As a rule paying management fit into two main camps and a rare third.
1– CASH CLINIC — These have fancy names and cost $ 150 – 200 a visit and you go monthly or even twice a month. You will be REQUIRED to do the «in-​house» therapy (usually steroid shots)… These will be very expensive and never work… They may or may not cause you greater pain, hope that it’s temporary. They may or may not give you meds, they rarely care if you are getting by…
2– SUSPICIOUS CLINIC– and insulting. This is self explanatory. These places do talk therapy and crap… And charge you hundreds of dollars to discuss what pain is like for hours, then after a 400 $ drug test, 4 Vicodin 0 refills. 3– A REAL DOCTOR– GOOD LUCK ! This is classic #1 and to top it off when they did my last TP Injection I lost movement in my left side for days… They literally fired me as a patient soon after. Surprise!!! I almost sued them, seriously… I hope they have cleaned house since then… Terrible

I called up on a Friday afternoon to get the name of the doctor I had seen so I could refer him to a friend. I was on hold for 16 minutes and 32 seconds and when the receptionist finally came back to the line I commented on how long I had been on hold, she said «sorry, I’m the only one answering calls today» I think they may need to hire some more staff. Be prepared to wait.
