Best pain management doctor that I’ve ever been to. I have had severe back and neck pain related to injuries that occurred decades ago. Dr. Burstedt and his entire staff are all very caring, compassionate ave always genuinely concerned about managing my pain. Because of them, I am able to maintain an active lifestyle, without the use of any narcotics.
