Dr. Cherubini was so helpful and really took the time to listen to me and ask questions. This was the first time I had a doctor really validate my experiences and recognize the frustrations of having seen so many specialists with normal tests and no answers. I finally feel heard and like I have an answer.

I suffer from severe joint pain in my shoulder. I have had pain management for my thumb before and received spectacular results so I came in for my shoulder . The attention to detail and comfort was above and beyond. Everything about the procedure was explained thoroughly and all questions answered. The procedure itself was as close to painless as anyone could imagine. There was no pain, just a sensation. To summarize the entire experience would be above and beyond all expectations.Thank you Jessica Parker.

The center is clean with comfy seats and relaxing music on screens, definitely helps with my anxiety at clinics and doctors' offices. All the staff members are kind, friendly and helpful. Jessica Parker who is treating me showed a level of enthusiasm and commitment to helping me I haven't experienced with other providers. She is gentle and answers all questions and honest when she doesn't know the answer. Cannot recommend her and this center enough!

I was excited to get another opinion about where all my pain is coming from. My first impression of Jessica Parker is very positive. Jessica is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail, I was very impressed that all my questions were answered and Jessica took the time to listen and digest all that I was going through. Jessica gave me a good exam and is very understanding to the amount of pain I take on everyday. I am seeing Jessica tomorrow for a shot in my hip per her recommendation.

My initial appointment was with Jessica Parker. She saw right away that I had a collapsed arch in my left foot. I knew there was a problem with my left foot and that is why I went. I proceeded to go to new balance and had my feet scanned and have a Orthotic in my shoes, which is helping me a lot. I also have a follow up appointment to address other things that are going on. I was very pleased with my first visit.

Today was my second visit to the Pain Center and I’m so impressed by Jessica and her staff. Jessica’s warm and compassionate demeanor immediately puts you at ease. She takes the time to explain the procedure in detail, will answer any questions, and makes sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process. The cortisone shots were quick and virtually painless. She administers the shot while viewing the ultrasound screen to make sure it’s the right spot! Jessica is truly a skilled and caring professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of pain management.

Worked out well! I was in a hurry to get this done but the earliest appointment was two wks out. The secretary put me on the cancellation list and I received a call the next day for an opening.That was huge! The secretary and the assistant were very nice. Dr.Parker made me feel comfortable prior to administering my cortisone injections. She took the time to explain everything to me, answered my questions, showed me the braces I'd need online and assisted with their selection. When it came to the injections, she made sure the locations were spot on and process was painless. It was an all around pleasant experience. Actually looking forward to getting my shots again!

Jessica is wonderful!Professional, knowledgeable and so very kind. I never feel rushed, and she always ensures I’m comfortable throughout the procedure . She patiently takes time to explain what she’s doing, answering any and all questions I have. She quite literally has saved me from my pain since I began my treatment at the Pain Center in February. Both her and her assistant, Maria, are always such a pleasure to see, and I highly recommend the Pain Center to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jessica is brilliant!! She knows exactly what it is needed to help my pain issues. She listens, explains, and talks to you like a friend/family, she doesn’t act like it’s a revolving door and just pushes patients through like some larger facilities.
