“Mr. Gupta and his staff are great. They explain what they are going to do then follow through. The support afterwards is also great. I have had several procedure to include RFAs and pain injects. All have allowed me to return to life as normal after the procedures. I would recommend them to anyone that needs pain management assistance.”

After my back surgery I was not getting the pain management needed at the hospital until Dr Dalal was called in. Under her care I was able to finally gain relief and was able to return home. Our follow ups I felt heard by her. Her follow through on treatment plan and communication are excellent.

I was referred to Dr. Kneeman by my neurologist for ongoing migraines. I have suffered from severe migraines since I was 13 but officially diagnosed last 3 years. I suffer from occipital neuralgia headaches that start from the base of my skull and go all the way up to behind my left eye and at times can get very painful. Within the first couple minutes of meeting and talking with Dr. Kneeman, I knew I was in capable hands. He knows what he is talking about and does not try to persuade you one way or another about what choice you should take. His staff is just as amazing and will answer any question you have without getting upset with you. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kneeman to my family and friends!

I was referred to Dr Jacob Kneeman after my surgeries for my spine stimulator. I was experiencing severe pain from CRPS, degenerative disc disease as well as arthritis. I went to 3 other pain management clinics only to be told it was in my head. Dr. Kneeman listens and explains. He is amazing

Dr. Gupta and this office changed my life. I was suffering from terrible neck pain and they completely relieved it. They are so accommodating, efficient, and kind as well. I have tried almost every pain management “solution” out there; don’t waste your time; just go here.

I was referred to Kansas pain management 8 or 9 months ago for nerve pain that I had had for about 10 years. My PCP had tried everything. All kinds of meds, physical therapy and had sent me to a different pain clinic where I received some injections that didn’t help. I initially saw Dr. Madl when I was referred to Kansas Pain Management, who I thought was very nice, but he had me try the SCS trial which did nothing for me. At that point I was feeling defeated because according to Dr. Madl that was the last thing that could be done to try to help me and if it didn’t help there weren’t really any other options. I also felt like I was being pushed to have the permanent SCS placed even though the trial hadn’t helped. Dr. Madl left and Dr. Kneeman joined the practice. I wasn’t very excited about explaining my problem yet again to another doctor when, up to this point, I hadn’t had any luck finding a resolution. My first appointment with Dr. Kneeman was so different than any experience I’d had up to that appointment with any doctor. He actually listened. He had empathy and I could tell he really wanted to get to the bottom of my pain. At my second visit Dr. Kneeman referred me to a neurologist for an EMG, something that in the ten years I’d been having pain, had never been mentioned. He told me this would pinpoint the exact origin of the pain. He wasn’t wrong! When I had my EMG, the place where the pain originated was super painful and the doctor told me, “this is where your problem is”. I felt like after so long, trying everything, and feeling defeated, I was finally getting some answers! Dr. Kneeman was just as excited about my results which made me feel good. It wasn’t just a win for me, he made it feel like it was a win for him too! When we met to go over my results, he set up an appointment for three days later for me to get an injection in the actual place where the pain originated, rather than just guessing. I will say the injection was very painful even with deadening medicine, but Dr. Kneeman and Amanda were very compassionate and understanding. They talked to me the whole time and wanted to know how I was feeling. If I had ANY pain, Dr. Kneeman would slow down and give me some time for the pain to subside before continuing. Once the procedure was over, they both visited with me while I waited the 15 minutes before I could leave to make sure I was feeling alright. My injection was this morning. Dr. Kneeman told me it may be a couple of days before I felt any relief but I do believe I’m already getting some. I just can’t believe that I have been dealing with this for ten years, have seen numerous doctors and had so many other procedures, only to have Dr. Kneeman figure out what the problem was in just four visits! I would recommend this office 100%, and especially Dr. Kneeman and Amanda, for any pain issue you might be experiencing. They are the best!! Also, the office staff is very kind and helpful.

Hi, my name is Frank. On June 4, 2018 Dr. Mayank Gupta of Kansas Pain Management preformed Vertiflex surgery on my back, and I feel like a new man. I had been experiencing sciatica pain for the last 7 years. At first the pain was manageable with the occasional hydrocodone pill but taking these pills didn’t set well with me. As the pain worsened, migrating from my buttocks down the back of the leg, my treatment became spinal epidurals. Some shots lasted only weeks while others lasted several months, but none were permanent. I was slowly becoming unable to walk more than 50’ without pain. Then on my last office visit Dr Gupta recommended the Vertiflex surgery. After his explanation of the surgery and the expected prognosis, I felt I had little to loose but pain.
After the Vertiflex surgery I went home the same day to the safety of my recliner. I was walking, but a little wobbly for several hours. The second day I truly felt like I had been hit by a truck, this was mostly soreness at the surgery site and it subsided by early afternoon. I never had to take any meds stronger than some Advil. However, the third and fourth day I really started to feel more mobile. Each day steps weren’t as challenging, getting in a car was much easier. But the best improvement of all came on the fifth day when I decided I was strong enough to tackle a short walk. I ended up walking 1.5 miles without any pain and have kept this same regiment ever since. What a change from only being able to walk 50’. All thanks to Dr Gupta and Vertiflex.

I’ve had lower back problems all of my adult life and it was determined that my lower back problem was caused by a congenital defect in my right hip, causing my lower back not to be in proper alignment.
I had my hip replaced June 2016 and all was well until November 2016. After waking up or sitting down for any length of time, I started having severe sciatica that was impossible to get rid of.
My medical doctor told me that I had very bad stenosis
in my lower back and that it was the worst he had ever seen and that I would need surgery.
I sought help from Dr. Ray and she suggested that instead of surgery, that we try direct steroid injections to areas that had the stenosis.
After one treatment I noticed a drastic improvement and the sciatica went away immediately. I’ve just finished my third treatment within one year and I can run again and do everything anyone else can and I feel no pain whatsoever.
My hip replacement helped me a lot, but the stenosis injections from Dr Ray, were the Icing On The Cake and the Saving Grace!
I’m very grateful for the Great Expertise of Dr. Ray and Anesthesiology Professionals!

Dear Dr. Dalal,
I can’t begin to tell you how you have helped me walk again and renew my quality of life. In July of 2018, I was in the hospital and unable to walk or care for myself, looking at a great possibility of having major back surgery. After consulting with you, you suggested giving aggressive pain management a try. Here it is 8 weeks after my hospitalization and undergoing pain management with you; I am happy to report that I am walking without aid and almost 100% PAIN FREE.
I Can’t Begin to thank you for your patience and advise. You are an angel!
