"Too make a long story short (I shortened it up alot)... My doct of 15-20 years, Dr Shah, retired. (Only pain management doctor I'd ever been to) Another doctor, Dr Malak, in the same office, took over. He would only prescribe me one month of my medication and told me to find another doctor and he was NOT going to lose his license!! I felt dirty, I now knew how it felt to have your doctor drop you cause they were too afraid to prescribe some types of meds. The same meds that I credit helping me work still and enjoy life as much as I can. ( I have MS, spondylosis/Spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, narrowing of the neck, carpel tunnel, need a complete shoulder replacement ( just had the knee done in 12/2023)..I may be forgetting something. ANYHOW, I got an appointment with Dr Kareti. He was very thorough when going through my medical history. He was very thorough discussing future plans. I thank Dr Kareti for NOT being deterred with everything that's went on in the past with certain types of meds and NOT assuming that's all I was there for! There are doctors that care and listen to you!"

Dr. Sameh Yonan practices anesthesiology and pain medicine in Strongsville, OH, Cleveland, OH, and Westlake, OH.

"Doctor Yonan made me wait an hour and a half, did not review my 3 MRIs I had on Mychart, It was clear to me that Dr. Yonan did not review my case at all. His one tool seems to be injection to cover up the pain, not determine the root cause of the pain. No physical exam on me. Dr. Yonan pointed out that my pain could be from a different area of the spine. I tried to contact the office after thinking about this the next day, I was placed on hold for about 30 minutes and hung up on while on hold. Office staff does not answer the phone. Next I used mychart to try to contact Dr Yonan's office. I was blocked/messages intercepted by unknown people. Communication with his office was non-existent, which is unacceptable. I told Dr. Yonan I have been focusing on strengthening my core for over 1 year now, my core is strong, he did not understand the core strengthening exercises. His after visit notes said to strengthen my core.. UNBELIEVABLE.. it is clear to my Dr. Yonan does not listen to the patient. Stay away from this Dr, It is clear the patient is just a number and he does this for money, he could care less determining why the patient has pain."

What is Pain Medicine?

Pain medicine is a specialty closely related to, but separate from, anesthesiology. Whereas anesthesiologists typically work to relieve a patient's pain during surgery or another medical procedure, pain medicine specialists work to relieve their patients' pain as they are out living their lives.

Pain medicine specialists treat patients who have acute or chronic pain. The pain may be a symptom of their problem (e.g. they are hurting because they were in a car accident), or the pain may be the problem itself (e.g. they are having migraine headaches). The pain specialist's goal is to prevent pain from interfering with a patient's quality of life.

Pain medicine specialists must have a thorough understanding of the physiology of pain, how it is caused, and what effects it has on the body. A good pain medicine specialist is able to evaluate patients who are hurting and who may not always be able to communicate their problems very well. To gain more information about their patients' condition, pain medicine physicians can interpret specialized imaging tests. Using this information, pain medicine specialists must be able to prescribe a balanced treatment plan.

There are several treatments that pain medicine specialists may use to alleviate pain for their patients. They can prescribe medication, perform certain procedures, and refer patients to rehabilitation services. Often they will recommend multiple treatment methods to be used simultaneously. Some of these pain treatments include:

Implantable devices (intrathecal pump, spinal cord stimulator)
Injections (corticosteroids)
Medications (Percocet, Vicodin)
Nerve blocks (anesthetic injected into a nerve)
Physical therapy
Surgery
Alternative medicine therapies, such as biofeedback, acupuncture, and hypnosis

Being in pain takes away your enjoyment of life. It can lead to depression and stop you from engaging in even everyday activities. Because pain can't be seen or tested for, it is sometimes overlooked by others. A pain medicine specialist works to safely restore your quality of life.
