I have seen 100 doctors since i was a child until now, late in life. Dr Peruvemba rates as one of the two or three WORST doctors i have ever seen. I entered his office with a pain level of 0-1 and left, after an abrasion procedure, with a pain level of 7-8 and almost unable to walk. The doctor did n it say a word to me about side effects. After the procedure he was out the door before i even had a chance to stand up so he didn’t see that i was in serious pain and could barely walk. He probably hit a nerve during the procedure instead of putting pain killing meds near the nerve. I was flat on my back for 2 days with ice near my hip joint 4-6 hours a day to reduce swelling and pain. To make matters worse, I couldn’t get through to him on the phone. I called about 10 times and after 5 days he finally returned my call but missed me. I kept calling but, a week later, he has not returned any of my calls since he tried to reach me. I would never go back and will report his behavior, which verges on malpractice, to the Maryland Medical Board.

Dr. Ramani Peruvemba is very knowledgeable in my complex scoliosis back history. He is an expert in treating my low back and right leg pains with one Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steriod Injection (TFESI).He told me that the injection could relieve pains for six months to one year. I still do not have any pains for more than one and half years which went beyond my expectations!
He is very caring and professional and has a good sense of humor, LOL.
I definitely will refer my family members and friends to him for pain management.

Dr. Hough’s staff was very nice but we were waiting out into the hall. Although the doctor thoroughly reviewed my MRI, I felt he was minimizing my symptoms and not very sympathetic. I went to him before and had a much better experiences.

At the time of the initial injection the pain was never fully nullified but it did cause it to diminished somewhat.
This following week it had returned to its full extent and believe the pain to be located in the central area of my lower back. That is where the ice packs are placed for relief. I’m unable to distinguish if it is in fact more to the left side. On a scale of 1 thru 10 (10 being the worst) it averages out to about a 6 most of the time.

My experience with Pain Management Specialists was unusual. I am in the process of having multiple oral surgeries that involve removing teeth and jawbone, replacing the jaw, and inserting posts for implants. After the last surgery, which inserted the replacement bone, the pain was unbearable for the first two weeks and horrible for the next two weeks. To make matters worse, the jaw insertion did not take, and instead of moving on to inserting posts for implants, the jaw insertion had to be removed. My oral surgeon was uncomfortable prescribing additional pain medication, and recommended I see a pain management specialist.
I originally saw Dr. Hough and Robin Danielson together in the office, both of whom were very patient and discussed various pain-reduction options available and answered my concerns about my need to reduce my post-surgical pain significantly and my concerns about interactions and contraindications with the many prescription medications, vitamins, and supplements I take.
When I finally got my oral surgery approved by my insurance, I recontacted Pain Management Specialists to prescribe the medications we had discussed. Because it was several months between my initial appointment and the time for my next oral surgery, I needed to have a virtual appointment with Robin Danielson, CRNP to review my case and to confirm my prescriptions.
Robin was terrific! He gave me the opportunity to remind him that I am a "pain wimp," and then we discussed the pain-control options available. After we settled on a course of medications, and Robin confirmed them with Dr. Hough, Robin sent the prescriptions to my local pharmacy. It was so convenient to be able to get my pain medications BEFORE the surgery rather than depending on whoever picked me up from the hospital having to stop at the pharmacy to pick them up.
Unlike my previous surgery, my post-surgical pain was managed much better under Robin's care. I was pain-free less than two weeks post-surgery!

Robin is awesome, cool, and easygoing. He ensures that I am involved in the planning of my care. At the start of each in-person or telehealth appointment. Robin is always punctual and prepared to see me. He usually says, "Hello, Mrs. Kaba." It's good to see you.What has happened since I last saw you? How is your pain? Do your medications help you deal with your pain? Do you have any questions or concerns that you would like us to address? I sent your medications to the pharmacy; do you want us? Do you have any questions or suggestions? Robin is a decent young man who cares about me and provides excellent care, and I am confident that he does the same for all of his patients. Robin remains calm and speaks in a low tone of voice. He consistently makes me feel heard and important. I feel blessed and humbled to work with someone who is both knowledgeable and kind. His number one priority is privacy and safety. Thank you!

Dr. Peruvemba, Robin and the entire staff at Pain Management are outstanding. The explanation of various available treatment options, most recently Kyphoplasty, is always thorough and described in a way that is easy to understand. Dr. P always takes the time to answer any questions I may have. The doctors and staff are always friendly, helpful and professional.
