National Spine and Pain Centers - Carey-Walter F. Closson, MD 16900 Science Drive, Bowie, MD 20715

"Do not let CRNA Paul Corbett be your anesthesiologist. I have been going here for a year and a half and have had multiple injections with minimal complications. He under medicated me so I was awake for the procedure which went horribly and caused a great deal of pain. Then when they said it was time to get up I had enough time to prop myself up by my arm before he became inpatient and grabbed my ankles and jerked my legs around so I was sideways on the table. Dropped my legs and then grabbed my waist and jerked me back into the wheelchair. He caused an already pain procedure to be 10 times worse and should not be allowed near patients. Dr. Closson is no better. Do not expect them to notice if your procedure goes wrong. They left me out in there prep area crying in pain before having the nurse tell me its time to go and walk me out without ever coming to make sure anything went wrong, so if you are one of the unlucky people who has a complication to an injection he will never know. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for your own health and safety."

"The staff is terrible. No one answers the phone, only an answering machine. He stuck a needle in my back and hit a nerve so bad that I yelled.. He never said a word. Since then, I was an invalid. I couldn't walk or stand up straight. The pain in my right hip and leg was excruciating. Now I see a wonderful doctor and staff. However, I have to have a SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. I definitely would not recommend this doctor. I wish there was a ZERO rating."

"The staff has never returned my calls. A prescription was supposed to be called in on my last visit on June 8, 2022. I waited a week and still no prescription. I have called and called and only been transferred to an answering machine. The person answering the phone can not transfer me to a person. This practice is no longer capable of taking care of the patients. Dr Clossen is a good doctor but he needs to clean up his staff. I will have to make a trip to the office and raise hell. If they are unable to take care of the patients I need a different doctor."

"Quinton at the front desk, is excellent and helped me get a prescription issue resolved. He is always extremely professional and helpful. Dr. Closson is very detailed and explains options. He doesn’t go immediately for surgery or needles and tries all alternatives."

"The best staff of any doctor I have ever been to. Dr.Closson listens to you very attentively and I love the fact that they are willing to try less invasive methods before jumping to the more intrusive. CRNP Harrison is awesome. They both treat you with compassion. The entire staff is friendly and willing to help in any way that they can. I am seen within minutes of my appointment/arrival time! Keep up the good work!"
