I've been a patient of Dr. Patel cense 2009 and have been seeing him on a monthly bases. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my neck and arm issues. I feel that my trust and Dr. Patel"s trust in me NO other Pain management Doctor can ever compare. The other states I've been to have made me feel untrustworthy. I feel like I'm family when I go. Everyone is very helpful down to earth people from the doctors to the person you may only talk to on the phone and never meet!
My faith in their practice is strong enough that I've brought my husband in to be seen - as well as recommending their practice to anyone that

Dr. Sharma, and his entire staff are professional, attentive, caring, and easy to speak with. They listened to my concerns and went right to solving my pain issues. Although we are just getting started I am very happy with the urgency he is showing towards solving my problems.

Dr. Patel is AMAZING. He treats my wife, father in-law, and myself. He ACTUALLY listens to your problem unlike other doctors. Any other doctor barely even makes eye contact with you let alone listen to your symptoms. Dr. Patel truly cares about his patents wellness.

Dr Udit Patel is a very compassionate doctor. I am so pleased with my care. The nurses are also caring. I feel like a person not a number. They take the time and show actual concern

Great place to get work done

Staff is really friendly with lots of knowledge number one place to be.

Was a patient of Dr.Sharma for several years. He is all about the money. I needed a epideral spinal injection immediately. He told me I had to see him in 4 weeks. I ended up in the hospital. He could careless. I wish him nothing but bad for the rest of his money hungry life.

I have been with pain and spin institute sence 2007 the first nurse i met was Nicole her profession and her bedside manners was outstanding from day one any questions and concerns i had she explained step by step she reassured me that they would take good care of me and that they would do everything in there powers to find a solution and to fix the problem with my back Nicole is just not my nurse she's a part of my family all ways tentative to every patient

Dr. Rajesh Patel is a LIFESAVER! He is one of the most thorough and caring doctors I have ever met. I have been seeing him for around 1 year now in Joliet and from day one he took the time to review all of my records before he even came in the door. He explains things to me on a level that I could understand and took time to explain all the decisions he made. He ordered a test that showed I had a pinched nerve in my arm and not in my neck like all the other doctors had told me. He saved me from unneeded neck surgery! and treated me with respect from day 1. I truly feel like I am part of the decision process every time I see him unlike other doctors that just tell you what they are going to do. I have recommended 2 family members to him and will continue to do so. I love his staff too, his nurse Dee is the best! I cannot say enough good things about this place!

Upon my initial visit with Dr Sharma, he seemed to be attentive and for his patients. (Work Comp case) My second visit, his tone changed. (I was referred from someone other than WC, so I think WC got into his head by the second visit)

Second visit, he did not seem to care. His back faced me the whole time. NEVER once looking at my injury. They called my case nurse for WC in and he specifically said," I see no signs of swelling." I did get an attitude and called him out considering he had his back to me the whole time typing on his computer and did NOT touch me in any way, shape or form.

On our way out, he decided to try a nerve blocker. (I am guessing to validate his care/charge to WC) He gave us a free sample.

I have come to learn if there is not some blatant sign from some test, 'specialist' will not do anything. They learn how to read these state of the art tests and after that, they stop being doctors. (This refers to more than just Dr Sharma, but he is definately in that catagory.)

If you have a Workmans Comp case, RUN! He is about their paycheck over your health.

I have suffered from chronic back pain for over 25 years. Thanks to Dr. Sharma and his treatments I feel great! Dr. Sharma makes sure you know all of your options and educates you in every way before treatments begin. I never thought I would be out of pain until I started care under Dr. Sharma. Thank you Pain & Spine Institute!!!

Dr Sharma and his staff is outstanding!!! They take the time to listen to you and understand you. Dr Sharma is patient and kind. He helps you understand all of your treatment needs. Highly recommend them!!!!

Dr. Patel and all of Pain & Spine Institute have helped me through the roughest times. I appreciate all their help and effort. This office has the BEST STAFF AND BEST DOCTORS!!! I highly recommend Pain & Spine Institute.

Dr. Sharma is an excellent doctor. He takes his time listening to me and helps me understand how my treatment is going and what I am to expect in the future. His staff is great too!!

Going to my first pain clinic ever back in 2009 I was scared to death , even the thought of having needles put in my back freaked me out!!, During my consultation Dr. Patel really took the time to explain things to me and show me every detail of my MRI. Since then I am a champion at getting the injections that have now changed my life, I am fully functional and working full time. Dr.Patel gave me my life back. The staff is great , caring and kind. Thank you Pain & Spine Institute

Dr. Sharma is the most understanding and compassionate doctor I have come across. He came up with a great treatment plan that has me pain free, and his staff is always helpful.

Dr. Sharma is the best pain doctor in the Joliet area. Very kind and professional.

I am extremely pleased with the care that my husband received from Dr.Sharma, my husband has 2 bulged discs in his lower back impinging on his nerves, he was in really bad shape when he started with Dr. Sharma. It has been 5 years since his multiple injections and Radiofrequency Ablations and he is 98% pain free without invasive surgery and narcotic pain medication. The staff is great , really friendly and caring. Dr.Sharma took his time to explain every little detail, his bedside manner is rated in my book a 10+. This clinic is there to help the patient to get better and become functional again. Not just to stuff narcotics down your throat and put a bandaid over the problem.

Dr. Sharma is the most compassionate doctor I have ever been to. He took time explaining all options to help treat my chronic lower back pain. Love Dr. Sharma and his staff at Pain & Spine Institute.

Dr. Patel is kind, caring and down to earth. He makes you feel comfortable and explains all treatment options before any treatment is performed! I highly recommend him and all of Pain & Spine Institute's wonderful staff!
