Principal Spine & Pain Consultants

I don’t have any problem about procedures. Dr. Kurian knows his job and worked for me. My problem is with anesthesia bill. I got two times pain shot. Each time, I went to doctor visit first and after that they got insurance approval and invite me for procedure. I got my shots. Prior, I was going to the shot front desk gave me some papers fill out and signed. One of them was showing anesthesia out network and I signed without looking all details. Because they called me, they said they got acceptance from my insurances. After 6 months later, I have received two invoices for Star Anesthesia and total was $6K. It was shocked for me. They never informed me that Star Anesthesia was out of network. When I called them and went their office as well, they said you signed that. She gave a copy of it. I said is it fair what you did. You called me and said we got insurance acceptance. She said yes but procedure only. I said why you did not inform me about anesthesia. She said we gave you paper and you signed. They are separate company. I said address same and name different only. She said we can’t do anything. You need to speak with them. So, I am warning you. If you go there and you think they got approval and called you come and get your shot, please ask them. Did you get approval for procedure and also for anesthesia? Otherwise you can also get $6K invoices afterwards like me.They can say, you signed. I never see anything like that in my life. Why they invited me and put papers front of me to sign when I was having big pain. And also they did not inform me out network anesthesia. So, as a patient, you can’t think that they will lie to you and you will get $6K after 6 months. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

Dr. Kurian is an outstanding doctor. He has excellent bedside manners and a deep knowledge of pain medicine, always making patients feel truly cared for. His advice is thoughtful, and his attention to detail is second to none. I trust him completely and highly recommend him.

Dr. Kurian is without a doubt the best pain doctor i have ever run across. I have been under pain management for 15 years and 7 of those have been with Dr. Kurian. He is caring and listens to his patients for as long as it takes during and appointment, keeps meticulous records of every scan, proceedure and health of the patient. I use him more as a PHP than just a pain doctor. My wife and I both trust him for everything. I highly recommend him to take care of your needs.
