Pain Relief Institute

Was hoping to have a positive experience here. I was happy to hear that the $200 visit would go toward the PRP injection. After a bad office experience and some research I realized a lot of the information they are saying is false. Anything with amniotic fluid or stem cells has not been proven to be safe and effective. The PRP injection is proven to be effective but the nurse told me she has been better for two years. These injections don’t last that long. They did not tell me what part of my knee they were going to inject it in and the recovery is based on this. The doctor doesn’t work Fridays and expects me to be out of work for three days.

I don’t even know where to start … if I could give 1000 stars I would. I am someone who has insane Dr. anxiety and to say that Dr. E eased my mind within the first 30 secs in an understatement . She was personable, kind, listened and gave me multiple options. I am forever grateful for her for sure! Shannon her assistant was a total sweetheart. I recommended this place 10/10. I look forward to continued visits with them and can’t wait to get this knee under control! Thank you Dr.E and team!

I had a great experience with the Pain Institute in Glenview IL. I was injured on the job a year ago. I had a bad knee injury, that could have led to surgery. I was in a lot of pain and I barely could walk. I looked up the Softwave treatment. And it was a blessing, they specialize in no surgery and no injection. That was good to hear. I went to the Pain Institute 2 twice a week with my Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance coverage. I got laser treatment and exercise. I'm 100% now, I could not do stairs without pain. Now I can do stairs without mo problems. It took a while but I did it . These ladies are the best here at the pain Institute in Glenview IL, Shannon is super nice and very patient with me and also did my laser twice a week. Awesome experience the laser saved me from surgery. Samreon very nice and polite lady always called me the day before therapy to remind me. Dr. Mariam El-Baghdad was very nice and came in and examined my knee injury and made recommendations. I am so happy that I came here and would recommend anyone to the Pain Institute in Glenview IL only. Wonderful experience, the rest of the staff are great. The Pain Institute is the best in the entire city of Glenview IL. Very happy that I came there.
