Patient Reviews

Probably the best pain clinic in Tucson. Nicole has been such a positive experience in helping me deal with my chronic pain. She listens and has an interest in all my medical issues. She offers options for available treatments and takes the time to explain how they work and treatment details. I trust Nicole with my pain management and am blessed she is my care provider. A plus is the staff, always welcoming and polite.

Does a good job listening and working with me. [Kevin M. Henry, MD]

How did I get so lucky to be assigned to Dr. Cornidez? He is the BEST doctor I have ever had. I first saw Dr. Cornidez in 2017. I didn’t need to see him again until 2020 and have been seeing him ever since. He has tried everything in his power to help me with my lower back issues, standing & walking, mainly due to extreme pain. Until I was given a Cluneal Nerve Block, I was no longer able to walk at least 1/2 mile every morning. I am now walking one mile…big milestone. Dr. Cornidez is very kind, soft spoken, explains procedures, shows that he cares, and doesn’t give up. Every person I have dealt with at PISA has been very professional, friendly, and caring. I would recommend PISA to everyone. Thank you so much Dr. Cornidez & staff for being there for us.

Excellent, compassionate care. Dr. Cornidez is very clear in the explanation of my issue and his prescribed care plan. He is enthusiastic, professional, and caring.

PISA is outstanding although I think they could be more aggressive and empathetic when dealing with their long-time patients who present with sudden onset of excruciating pain. Do not treat them as criminals or drug seeking addicts or especially if they voluntarily ceased all opiates 2-3 PRIOR.
Kristen was good & did what she thought was safe..

I followed Dr J.Gilman to this pain center…Dr Gilman is professional, knowledgeable and caring. The staff is great and polite. The office, bathrooms is clean.
I highly recommend Jard Gilman MD
Thank you for your help!

I have been seeing Gemma for years and she is amazing! She really listens and takes the time needed to help out. Not only is she amazing her assistant Alicia is awesome too. The whole staff is always pleasant and happy to help. I highly recommend this office for all your pain needs.

She’s always been professional and courteous. She listens to me and speaks to me as a person.. she’s kind and caring about my pain. Wonderful office and very professional. [Kerry Kopecky, FNP-C]

Dr Cornidez is a wonderful doctor and person. I have full confidence in his ability to treat my condition always with a smile on his face. I know with office growth always comes challenges which their phone system has shown in these last couple months. I know with perseverance It will be overcome. I am thankful for the whole team they want the pain center has done for me all these years

From the moment you walk in the door, to the follow up calls, you can feel well cared for. They work well together as a team. They have very clear communication with you prior to your procedure and afterwards.

Second attempt on managing the pain. Hoping for better results. However, over a week since the injection with little to no relief. Follow up appointment soon. Left a message about some concerns and didn’t receive a call back. Insurance approval took longer both times than past experiences with other offices. In-Office and surgical staff were friendly and courteous during my visits.

Dr. Bailey is an excellent provider. He listen to what you have to say about your illness, and provides thoughtful and meaningful answers. His assistants are great; they stay on top of any messages sent and provide a prompt response. I’m glad Dr. Bailey is on my team!

I have been a patient at The Pain Institute of Southern Arizona for some time now. Due to chronic degenerative disease, I need their help to manage my pain. They’ve made my quality of life so much better. My thanks to Kerry and all the other wonderful people at PISA.

Kerry really listened and takes detailed notes that she follows up. She offers alternatives to opioid medications. She is very knowledgeable. I feel like she is my teammate in controlling my pain.
