St. Louis Spine and Joint Pain Specialists

"I suffer from extremly bad migraines and when someone referred me here I just thought this was another doctors office that wouldn't make a difference but I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only did Dr. Mekler help end a 2 year constant migraine but she has been helping me maintain my health ever since. The care that you recieve here is nothing short of perfection from the ever so kind and funny receptionist, Ms. Rema, to her determined and fun daughter, Dr. Mekler. This is a family style fun doctors office that truly makes me enjoy my appointments and I don't know where I would be without them!! They helped me get my life back and for that I am eternally grateful!!!"

"Where do I begin with Dr. Mekler and Dr. Shomstein? I can live my life again because of the compassionate care and brilliance that are these two wonderful human beings! I've been receiving care under these two now going on 7 years and to say they are amazing is an understatement! First, I was able to get off almost all of the medications I was taking due my multiple chronic illnesses, secondly, I was able to go back to work after 5 years, and lastly they provided me with hope for my future again. I can't begin to thank these two enough for helping me regain my life back and for always being in my corner...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU ARE BOTH ANGELS WALKING ON THIS EARTH!!!"

"Dr. Shomstein and Dr. Mekler are a phenomenal team. Truly a personalized approach, they do not approach pain with a “one size fits all” mentality. They are thorough and take the time to make sure the patient understands the plan of care. They do their procedures in the office which is very convenient! They are super kind and knowledgeable, you can tell that they are truly committed to making you feel better. So glad I found them!"

"Wonderful office staff and amazing doctors! Rimma is so kind and communicative! And Dr. Shomstein is thorough and informative - he spends a lot of time with his patients to correctly diagnose the problem and discusses treatment options in depth allowing patients to make an informed decision about their care. Dr Mekler has assisted in several of my procedures and is really empathetic and wonderful, as well! Best pain management experience I’ve ever had… the entire staff is truly committed to helping patients overcome the obstacles acute or chronic pain can cause and they really care about their patients’ quality of life!"
