Patient Reviews

I love Dr. Kopecky! She listens to me as a patient. She is an Amazing person shows respect and carries herself professionally. Thank you Dr. Kopecky ❤️

Compassionate, kind, and very knowledgeable about pain control. I would recommend Kerry Kopecky to anyone.

Sylvia is absolutely wonderful. She listens very well and really cares about your pain levels.

Per usual, Dr. Cornidez knows what he’s doing! Always quick and as painless as possible. Amazing bedside manner. I usually only see him once a year to every other year, but he always remembers my family & I and it means a lot when you’re dealing with multiple long-term conditions. In my 7 years as a patient, I haven’t met a staff member, doctor or nurse that I don’t like yet. Thank you PISA

What a perfect Dr! [Jared Gilman, MD] Incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable without being cold or distant. Professional, has a great sense of humor and sure has taken excellent care of me! Would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr Duran has always been extremely concerned about my care. He consistently listens to all my pain issues and works to try new injections that alleviate my pain. He is kind and explains, in detail, what each of my procedures will consist of.

Very professional and competent. I’m getting closer to what normal use to be. [Efrain Cubillo, MD]

Dr. Cornidez and his staff are excellent. Each visit, the attention to details and to the patient’s comfort is exemplary. Each step of care is explained before the procedure is started. I would recommend Dr. Cornidez and his staff to anyone who requires pain care.

High praises for Dr Cornidez and the staff working at PISA, I’ve been seeing him for years he never disappoints

Gemma wants to fix the pain issue also she listens to what is happening to each person with interest at heart, she is calm when my pain is high and not myself and with that calmness makes me feel better just knowing she cares about me. She knows how to reach inside each person an pull out the issues to put the right way to help me guide me through it, knows what medication to give me, I love her ways as my doctor and friend. Doctors like her are hard to find as I have been through many surgeries with struggling to use the right medication so I can have a better day, with 5 major neck surgeries low back pain and both hands with carpal tunnel syndrome, she is the best doctor I have ever met or had over the 25 years of pain. I will never leave her profession work if she will keep me around, I am very grateful for her and hope she continues her journey as a pain doctor cause she knows her stuff, she’s a great understanding person to have in my corner, thanks to her I am so blessed to have more better days than not, bless you Gemma and hope you will never leave cause I would have a very hard time finding someone like you to take care of me, I am truly grateful and blessed 🙏🏼💯

I have been a patient of Dr. Gilman ‘s for several years. He is a personable, caring young Dr.. He has good listening skills and goes out of his way to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. When he feels that there are additional procedures that might be beneficial for you, he has no problem in discussing them and referring you to another Dr that might be able to assist you with an alternative treatment/procedure that Pain Institute does not offer. I had been very happy with his care

Nicole and the other doctors at PISA helped me manage my pain and finally get off of pain meds that I was on for years they gave me back my life they are awesome at what they do and I would recommend them to anyone with chronic pain

Dr Yelavarthi and Gemma Lopez both take time to listen and also answer questions. They really work to make a personalized plan and adjust as needed. Have had injections in neck and shoulder and Dr Yelavarthi puts you at ease. Definitely recommend them to family and friends to help with a pain management plan

I am extremely satisfied with the care I have received from Lindsay Carter. She is skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I am grateful that my PCP referred me to her. I have never before had this kind of comprehensive evaluation of my pain, and I trust that Lindsay Carter and PISA will provide the highest level of care for me moving forward. Thank you so very much!

5 star for Sylvia Valenzuela
