Our
Patient Success Stories
I
am a Registered Nurse, who was injured severely at work, and suffered
debilitating, and systemic pain for over four years. I was giving up,
until I met Dr. Navani. She took personal interest, listened to me, and
determined the best plan of care. Dr. Navani's expert and caring
methods quickly reduced my pain, all the while she encouraged me. Her
wonderful and personal care has brought me back to the threshold of
wellness, where I am beginning to enjoy a full life again. It is my
great pleasure to have this opportunity, to thank Dr. Navani and her
wonderful staff, for their excellent care. - Darlene Boomhower

Approximately fourteen months ago, I started having severe daily migraine headaches. My whole life was disrupted. I could not tolerate sound or light, which made parenting a five-year-old nearly impossible. I was useless to my family and my job. I had to quit my job as every doctor I saw told me there was nothing they could do to help me. No specialist could find the reason behind my migraines and all told me that I would just have to learn to live with them. Nobody understood how debilitating the headaches were. Nobody was there when I was vomiting, lying in the dark and planning my death. I begged my husband to leave me so that I could end my life and end the agony I was living with. Instead, he found out about Dr. Navani and we made an appointment right away. During my first visit, Dr. Navani diagnosed my problem and scheduled radiofrequency injections for me. After those injections, my whole life changed. The pain was gone. I could enjoy time with my daughter instead of dreading the sound of her voice.
It may be cliché to say that Dr. Navani saved my life, but she truly did. She was able to end the agonizing pain I was living in and saved me from suicide. My family is forever grateful to Dr. Navani. She truly is my hero.

My
primary physician referred me to Dr. Navani several years ago. Those of
us who have the misfortune of experiencing chronic pain without any
escape from it's misery are beyond speech at the prospect of relief
from it's torture. After several years under Dr. Navani's care, not
only have I found that relief, but a physician who is not only an
outstanding physician, but an outstanding and sensitive person as well.
Her staff reflects her concern for her patients. They are efficient,
warm and inviting. It was a difficult decision to find a pain
management doctor. It was one of the best decisions I have made.- Phyllis

No
matter how much I learned online about my upcoming spinal surgery, the
more informed I was the more "panic mode" would set in, especially
about the pain. Frankly, I was terrified. Fortunately, I had Dr. Navani
on my team as pain management specialist. I have been under her care
now for months; and post-op we have successfully lowered my need for
the pain meds. Dr. Navani's caring attitude and approachability made my
ordeal (especially through the months in 'Halo') much easier to cope
with. Thank you, Dr. Navani. Kudos also to Erin, Lucia and Yvonne -
staff extraordinaire! - Stephan

I moved away from
California and the care of Dr. Navani about sixteen months ago, it took
me a
few months to write this and to reflect back and I am hoping that
patients who
read this and come under her care will be inspired by my story.
My
story goes like
this…. I thought no one was as knowledgeable about my pain but me until
I met
Dr Navani. I knew right then and there that I had found a doctor who
was going
to put my needs first and get to the bottom of the pain like no one had
before.
She did exactly that. I did what she told me to and within
three
months my pain was under control. My pain levels were low and I was
happy
again. I wanted to once again leave my home, go to work, and out
with
friends.
When I
moved away, I had
to find a new pain management doctor. I moved to Georgia and I
thought I
had made one of the biggest mistakes of my life as I could not find a
doctor
like Dr. Navani…. I looked everywhere but she could not be found.
The end to the story is that I did find a wonderful doctor whom I
like
and trust very much BUT HE’S NOT DOCTOR NAVANI.
She
cares about you and
she will be there for you. Open up to her so she will know you
inside and
out and don’t ever be afraid to tell her what it’s on your mind or
bothering you.
You must trust her! I promise you that you will have a kind
doctor who is
eager to help you regain your health back so you can live a normal life
again.
You
never know what you
have until you don’t have it anymore. Dr. Navani is one of those
wonderful
loving doctors with a gift to heal not only your health but your soul.
The
world could use a million more just like her.
To you,
Dr. Navani from
the bottom of my spine L4 L5 S1, I miss you and thank you for the many
years we
have had working together on my back and to your entire team that
always made
me feel like I was the only one in the office.
Thank
you!

I
sure hope that you could
come see the “Nutcracker” production because if it wasn’t for you, I
wouldn’t
be able to do this at all! Not too long ago I couldn’t even walk and I
was on
mass amounts of narcotic pain meds and today I have been clean for a
year and
two months and virtually pain free!
The
injections that you gave
me have given me a list that I never dreamed possible! I am so very
grateful
for the freedom that I have been given…thank you for all that you have
done! It
would be great if you could see the result of your work in action at
one of our
productions. You’re the best!
