Wonderful guy.
Very professional doctor
Very informative
fantastic dr!
I love Dr. Pence he listens to me and takes into account everything I have going on in order to come up with the best treatment plan possible
The absolute best Care start to finish.
I’m going on 6 years of being under his care. He is extremely well educated and he actually treats me in a way that relieves my pain instead of giving me strong pain medicine. He is the absolute best.
If you’re looking for a Dr who will treat the actual cause of your pain instead of just throwing medications at you then Dr pence is your Dr! He spent way more time than he had to trying to help me sort through my medical issues causing my pain. He has great bedside manner and is straight to the point. My situation is much more complex and I am very appreciative that he approached my care head on and listened to every single thing I said. I’ve been to a lot of drs and Dr pence spent more time with me at my visit than any other Dr I’ve seen. He was very thorough with all of his explanations. I expected to leave there crying with no answers like most of my visits but instead I left with a plan! I was very pleased with both him and his nurse!
I’ve been using him for years! If you have back problems he is the best. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Pence was extremely thorough and because of that, he was able to find something that has been missed by my doctors for several years now! I may have a chance at finally getting some relief and that is a total game changer for me. He is a rockstar genius in my book!!
