Patient Reviews

Kerry is excellent at her job. She’s caring, and will do all she can to make sure you’re taken care of. She gives you options and new techniques information that will improve your health. She treats you like a family member. I don’t know what I would do without her. I’ve referred several people to her, because she is the best.

Thank you Kerry for helping me.

I don’t know where I would be without the excellent care provided by the PISA. The pain that I continue to experience can be overwhelming and the injections are so very helpful. I am very fond of Dr Bailey and his crew. The PISA is my saving grace.

Anyone living with chronic pain knows the importance of finding a healer who leads with empathy. I’ve seen a handful at PISA — most recently Dr. Christopher Bailey, MD and Sylvia Valenzuela, FNP-C.

I can also speak highly of Kristen O’Dell, FNP-C, and America Ramirez, FNP-C.

During 1968- 69 I was a young USMC Infantry Officer serving in Vietnam. On February 20, 1969 I was wounded suffering multiple injuries. As I have aged my injuries developed into multiple sites of chronic pain. The most serious source of that pain was my lower back. Approximately two years ago the VA referred me to Dr. Cubillo at PISA. At first we tried several less invasive treatment options but none were successful. Finally, Dr. Cubillo and I settled on an Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator. It has made a world of difference in my life. While I am not pain free the reduction in the level of pain has been significant. I am no longer in constant, nearly unbearable pain.

Dr. Cubillo stuck with me and continued to search for a treatment option that would make a difference for me. He always treated me with a great deal of respect and I felt a general level of concern for my situation that I haven’t always felt with other physicians who have treated my injuries over the years. I highly recommend PISA and Dr. Cubillo.

Very helpful and answered all my questions I give it a five star to

I’m am pleased with Michelle Boon very nice doc I’ve been a patient for a few years definitely happy with this doctor.

Great experience from the doctor, nurses and the office staff! I am extremely hopeful for a wonderful outcome. Many thanks!

Dr. Henry is amazing. He has helped me with lower back pain and sciatic nerve pain. I have been seeing him since 2019. I highly recommended him.

Dr Farshad takes the time to understand your concerns and is spot on any recommended treatments.

Dr Duran did a great job relieving the pain in my neck with an ablation. As a result , I have much more pain free mobility.

I was enthused about Dr Duran, so I returned for help with nerve pain in my right arm. His assistant looked everything Over and suggested starting with an Epidural. I made an appointment, but when I got there and changed, it was cancelled. I had NOT been told to avoid ibuprofen or any blood thinners. I had a major dental issue and was told to use ibuprofen and Tylenol until the dentist could see me. I had used ibuprofen that morning, so my appointment was cancelled and rescheduled. This totally destroyed my plans for the next two weeks and meant a week more with disrupted sleep. The arm pain wakes me up in the middle of the night.

Generally, their service is good, but I was very disappointed with this disruption.

Very good care by both doctor and staff. [Efrain Cubillo, MD]
However, pain not stopped. Will have to try something else.

Dr. Cornidez is the best if you are having pain issues, him and his staff are very professional and personal about their work. They have helped me with lower back and shoulder pain great place!!!

I am very happy with my experience at the institute and with Dr. Farshad. A huge welcome difference from the other pain center in Tucson that I had been to previously.

As always, very professional, knowledgeable and on task. [Sylvia Valenzuela, FNP-C]

I would like to share that Nicole Nelson-Bridges, PA-C, pardon me if I didn’t get the title correct, has been such a blessing to have on my medical team. Very professional, kind, caring, and attentive to needs. Dr. Duran and Nicole PA-C make my journey with my conditions worth keeping the determination for continuing forward.
