In 2019, I was involved in a painful accident. I slipped and fell on black ice from an apartment watering on the wrong day and time. I had to retain an attorney because I was badly injured with no health insurance. This is where my long road to recovery had begun. The law office that I retained gave me medical providers to select from that accepted liens since I had no health insurance. From these doctors I was eventually sent to pain management. Unfortunately, I was not referred to Dr. Antflick. I was referred to another pain management doctor that I personally felt wasn't listening to my symptoms, needs and consistently wanted to just schedule me for spinal injections. After expressing my concerns with a medical assistant from an orthopedic center, she recommended that I try out a different pain center. I found the pain center the medical assistant mentioned and was scheduled with Dr. Adam Antflick. Immediately, I was impressed with the time he spent with me. He fully listened to my areas of pain and all my concerns. He took the time to explain to me why I was experiencing what I was experiencing in detail relating to my accident. He put therapies in place ordered different injections and prescribed medications that would allow me to function day to day living with pain. In 2019, it was recommended by 2 surgeons that I have spinal fusion, this scared me. I feel like I wasn't given an opportunity to try to avoid surgery by alternative medical treatments. Dr. Antflick expressed to me that he would help keep me off the surgical table as long as possible. Unfortunately, I developed drop foot and required lumbar surgery after several years of treatment. Once surgery was my only option Dr. Antflick referred me to multiple spine surgeons for multiple opinions. He did this for me and wanted me to be comfortable with the surgeon I chose for my surgical procedure. My profession is a case manager at a law firm. I don't know what better way to care for clients then to share my personal medical experiences. All the clients that chose Dr. Antflick have had nothing but pleasant things to say about his detailed care plan and their appreciation with their personal injury needs. Dr. Antflick will remain my pain management doctor beyond my personal injury case. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my body other than Dr. Antflick. The only thing I am disappointed about is that he isn't a spine surgeon . Thank you Dr. Antflick!
