"!!!WARNING!!! This guy is the definition of “workers compensation” doctor. He will tell you one thing in person but dictate the exact opposite. I suffered a severe injury and broke 4 vertebrae. Fast forward a few years later, my entire spine is suffering. I deserve all medical treatment possible. This should be my right! If Dr. Essay cared about my life and truly wanted to help me live to my best potential, he would do what’s best for me the patient and not his wallet or contracts with insurance companies. If you have to go to this manipulative doctor, good luck. People’s quality of life is not his best interest. ZERO STARS."

"Was referred to him as I have had chronic pain since my 20's. Have had injections in the past that did not help for more than 5 minutes. He asked me what I was there for, and no he couldn't help me if didn't want injections or Cymbalta. Had no suggestions. 1 star is even too much a rating."

"Staff was very nice Dr. Essay was hopefull the hf10 would work. When he put it in I felt everything I said the meds wasn't working. He did nothing. The trial did not work for me. The Nevro reps where great. When I got done with the trial and went to get the leads pulled. I said as he was taking out the leads that I was hoping it worked. He said it's not for everyone. Then he went to the door, I said is there anything else we could do. He said no and left. I was very upset. Nurse did have some suggestions. I would never go back to him."

"Dr Essay is very compassionate man as far as pain is concerned. He always has options and keeps an open fair mind. When I was close to giving up and my quality of life was none he made sure that I kept going. Dr Essay also takes an interest in other aspects of your life. He encourages to be the best you can be. His staff has always been friendly especially Jill."

"The staff at Nebraska Spine and Pain Center are amazing! I could not have had a better experience. Dr. Essay and his staff made me feel at ease during my procedure at their clinic.Every time that I have been to this clinic the staff has exceeded my expectations of quality care. The staff always takes the time to answer my questions and to make sure that I have an understanding of my plan of care. I could not ask for a better Doctor or staff to provide my care. Tami Girard"
