Oklahoma Pain Docs

[momw/ic]

I'm looking for names of Pain Management docs in Oklahoma. My current doctor is AMAZING and I love his attention to detail and his attention to his patients. However, his staff is the most incompetent staff on the planet. I have talked to him over and over and he is always apologetic and makes some excuse about hard to find good staff these days. I have about decided that I am done messing with them. So, if any of you have someone you can recommend in case I do decide to switch. I live in an area where I have to drive about 2 hours in any direction to get to a pain doc. My current doc sees me every 2 months and on the "off" month I call in and ask for my new scripts and he mails them to me. They won't let patients request scripts more than a week in advance but his staff takes 2 weeks to get them out. Forcing us to run out of meds and/or call them over and over and let them act like we are annoying.

I would appreciate any recommendations!!

You might try the OU Medical Center as hoping4acure said. I just check their website and they do have quite a few pain management doctors. Dr. Culkin is my urologist and he is really great. They only have 3 urologists on staff right now. I also go to see Dr. Gaithers for my hearing. I heard nothing but good things about all of the departments. You can find almost every kind of doctor you might need there.

Thanks! I have a local uro so I'm good there but it's pain management I need. I take my daughter to a PM doc at OU Med and was hoping to keep the two of us separate and not go there but they seem to be the only choice right now. I thought it might be "cleaner" to not mix and both of us go to the same group. We have different illnesses but both are chronic pain illnesses. She is only 17 so what's best for her comes first. Thanks for you work, though.
