Stephanie his NP is so kind and sweet and has helped me with my care as well. This Pain management Clinic by far is the best one in SE Missouri and I have been to 2 others.

“On January 24, 2014, I had cervical fusion surgery, at the Surgery Center. My freedom from pain was immediate! I woke from surgery with absolutely no pain, numbness or tingling at all! My only discomfort was wearing the neck brace for 10 days, until my first post-op visit. I never had to take another pain pill, and I actually felt so good, I had to remind myself that I had had major surgery!… My only ongoing restriction is no overhead work, and to limit looking directly up and/or down. I have returned to the gym and have resumed my exercise program. I feel amazing!

“I was in a lot of pain and had tried many pain medications without success. My doctor contacted Regional Brain & Spine and Dr. Reis visited me at Southeast Missouri Hospital to discuss putting in a pain pump.
“Dr. Reis explained the procedure clearly to me and my family. Once the pain pump was in place, I felt relief right away. During my follow-up visits, the doctors and staff took a lot of time with me, made sure my medication was working effectively and even helped with the paperwork. I would definitely tell others to go to Regional Brain & Spine. They’ve taken very good care of me.” – Goldie H.

I am very thankful for Dr. Vaught and his staff.” – Mary L
