Do you offer telehealth or virtual appointments?
Yes, we offer telehealth appointments for initial consultations, follow-up visits, and medication management when appropriate. Procedures and physical exams still require an in-person visit.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring your photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications (including dosages), any relevant imaging on a disc (MRI, CT, X-ray) with the reports, and any medical records relevant to your pain condition.
Are your treatments covered by Medicare?
Yes, we accept Traditional Medicare and many Medicare Advantage plans. Most interventional pain procedures, such as epidural injections and nerve blocks, are covered when medically necessary.
How soon can I return to work after an epidural steroid injection?
Most patients can return to non-strenuous work the day after their procedure. We generally recommend taking it easy for the remainder of the day of the injection. Dr. Dang will provide specific guidelines based on your individual case and occupation.
Is Botox only for cosmetic use, or can it treat pain?
Botox is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines (15 or more headache days a month). It works by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission. It is not just cosmetic; it is a highly effective, recognized medical treatment for specific types of chronic pain.
