I have some issues with my joints. Some are worse than others. Among the superlative worse of them is my left shoulder. I went to the clinic for an injection. I honestly wouldn’t have minded if the injection was uncomfortable. I was in so much discomfort, I just wanted the anti inflammatory and the little bit of numbing in the injection.
I felt so much relief! The doctor has a very gentle touch and an excellent bed side manner.
When a patient is hurting, it’s easy to want to take it out on everyone. What I recognize, and appreciate, is that these folks looked at my chart and could see why I was hurting. I have had other doctors not show me as much empathy, and sympathy. When you are really hurting, even if the doctor can’t help, it’s comforting to have a doctor that doesn’t dispute patient discomfort.
They are all empathetic, soft-spoken and patient with folks. If you’re hurting badly, maybe give these folks a try. At the very bear minimum, you will be taken seriously.
Anesis Spine and Pain Care, what is it that you exactly do? I put my 1 star review below with an explanation. There are other one star reviews with explanations that make my eyes go wide. Then you have your 5 star reviews to counter balance your 1 stars. Who wrote those? Heck! One woman below gave you a 5 star review because she was amazed at the process of having a COVID 19 test! ???? My my…. Don’t you have your game on! ????
I’m inquisitive…because your Renton clinic seems to do nothing really. Where is the staff? I mean, you have such a large space with many rooms. Don’t you do injections, ablations, or x-rays even? I saw no one in two visits, except one receptionist, one escort to the doctor’s interview room, and the doctor herself. And the bathroom was so clean it was like no one even used it.
What are your crew of MDs up to? And where is the rest of the staff…like a nurse or two? Seemingly, there is no real pain care or public service that I can detect. But, maybe it’s just me. I’ve always come in the afternoon. That must be the reason. I could make a list of reasons to lease or rent such large square footage without doing any real work. Is that what you are doing along with gaslighting pain patients?
There are professionals and then there are people like you…
Absolutely no bedside manor. My mom wasn't able to get a word in as the Dr was just talking w out letting her explain what was going on. Straight away the Dr said she needed injections. Then the Dr said she can't help my mom. Unexceptable. The Dr 2as in the room for 3 mins and didn't listen to anything. Absolutely horrible. My mom eneded up crying after the appointment
Life changing experience! I have been dealing with neck/back pain for over ten years now and getting spinal injections for about 4 years that typically put me down for a couple of days because they are so painful.
After seeing Dr Harstroem, she suggested that I try something called trigger point injections and OMG… let me tell you! Most of my back pain gets instantly taken away with these! All of the tension in my neck and shoulders relaxes immediately! I no longer have to get the painful injections I was getting before, that half of the time barely even worked!
Dr Harstroem has changed my life and made my day to day living so much better and improved! I can finally go back to doing regular activities!!!
I was diagnosed with chronic pain many years ago. Dr. Harstroem had been treating me for just over a year and she has changed my life. I even followed her from her Everett practice to Renton because she listens to my concerns and advises multiple ways of treating the pain. My pain level has decreased drastically! My quality of life has improved and I am able to get back to the things I love to do. Thank you, Dr. Harstroem, don’t know what I’d do without you!!
Dr. Harstroem is great. She listened to me, "heard" what I was saying and we discussed a plan to move forward that I feel good about. Thanks Dr. Harstroem!
Change in itself can be hard. Changing pain management doctors can be hard, stressful and even scary. I feel that Dr. Harstroem and all of Anesis Spine and Pain Clinic want only what's best for me.
My cousin recently came to America - English is not her first language. Her doctor referred her to Anesis Spine & Pain clinic in the fall. Since day one (October 2023) this clinic has been nothing but an absolute nightmare. When the first appointment was initially scheduled, I asked for an interpreter to be there for my cousin, since I wasn't able to be there. They called a few days before the appointment to reschedule for November, because they couldn't find one. Understandable, I'll let it slide it.. things happen. November rolls around, they call again to reschedule, same issue. Now I'm on more of an alert.. because the future patient is also in pain.. and this is a tad ridiculous. We reschedule for December - I specifically ask again please make sure there is an interpreter because I'm not sure I'll be able to be there - I will try, however just in case to be safe. 3 days before the appointment we confirm the appt. I call ahead on Monday, again - to be safe whether or not an interpreter will be provided - it's crickets. Finally a response - "We'll call you back". Okay. Great. All of Monday.. no call back. Tuesday.. half the day.. no call back. I call AGAIN.. they say "yes we will give the Renton office notice & give you a call back". Did they call back? No. They didn't. Wednesday rolls around, the day before the appointment - I call around 4pm to AGAIN confirm. They say they don't know. I ask if the patient can have me translate over the phone; or google translator. "Yes no problem". Awesome, sounds like we're getting somewhere! Then the appointment happens today - no interpreter, I'm not allowed to translate over the phone (even though I'm certified) AND google translate also isn't allowed! So now I'm starting to believe this office is really discriminating against patients who do not speak English. If your clinic cannot provide an interpreter; then tell the patient "we're sorry, we cannot accommodate your needs" and let them know AHEAD of time. Rereading your clinics reviews, I'm starting to believe your clinic needs some major restaffing. I will be filing a discrimination complaint against your office.
Dr Hartroom gave me an Injection to manage my back pain and she resolved the pain immediately. She is the best!.
Highly recommend!
