Pain Evaluation & Management Center

"Horrible.....Waited on hold....4evr!!! Saw someone saying they were a doctor about my hips and spine( chronic pain and degenerative). Sent me for a Pap smeer. Only issue is IM A MAN!!! Wouldn't take my dog to them. A veterinarian would do better. Please close this place down!!!"

"I seen Dr.Tammy Dann Who sent me out for an x-ray and vascular test. Once the test was completed she came to the conclusion that my back was stable and my pain was related to vascular. I asked could she please call me in a steroid pack, I was told that if I was in that much pain to go to the ER. I said for a steroid pack. I was referred to a vascular surgeon who after ordering an Ultrasound confirmed my pain was not due to a vascular problem, I than was referred to a spine surgeon who looked at my x-ray and just from that knew my pain was back related but to be sure ordered an MRI that confirmed definitely back related with needing surgery, When I went to PEMCO I was looking/hopping for an alternative that would restore some of my quality of life back. Since are chronic pain care has been stripped out of the hands of our PCP. We can thank the CDC for giving places like this a pass to exist and treat people less than human beings…"

"There should be a big sign in the lobby that says, "A Patient in Need is a Pest Indeed." I get it that the CDC issued warnings to providers to restrict access to opioids and has since said they went TOO far, but after being turned down for other treatments through insurance denials, I now see that their version of the Hippocratic oath of "do no harm," means that patients like me just have to suffer in pain while rationing the little bit of pills and berating me as a patient. You're treated like an addict instead of someone who just wants a better quality of life rather than suffering at home in pain trying to extend the handful of pills for another three weeks and admonishing you when you say you need more. As far as I'm concerned, they'd rather see patients dead than on pills and that is much of the medical field currently and PEMCO is no exception."

"Military don't waste your time going there. If I could rate it zero I would. The Dr. tries to push you into pain injections and has no answer when I ask why would I choose an invasive shot when one Percocet takes the pain away for hours? The Dr. has no answer. Also the Dr. is making up her own rules saying she won't give opioids if the patient has a medical Marijuana card. I read this is not true. So if you want to be lied to and have your pain NEVER treated, go to PEMCO. You'll be seeking another doctor. Avoid Dr. Pauley. I forgot to tell you she ordered a Buthane patch which is used to treat opioid addiction. No one will give me any opiods so how the H does she presume I am addicted. I consider this medical mismanagement and I should report her to the Medical Board because she treated nothing but muscle cramps. I went there for pain relief from Degenerative Disc Disease."

"I had my 1st visit yesterday and I am very pleased. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The doctor I saw was very thorough and seemed to care about my well-being. No unnecessary treatments (ie.injections etc) were pushed on me. That tells me this dr looks at each patient individually and does what's best in each situation. I'm very grateful to have found this place!"
