Dr. Alamarie is a very special doctor! He truly cares about his patients and their pain levels! He actually called me personally last week wondering how my pain levels were in my back! He said he had a new back brace that would help me if I wanted to go in for a fitting. I went to my appointment today and Pam one of the best staff you will find fitted me with the brace! Immediately instead of being hunched over n not able to balance well with walking the brace had me standing up straight n feeling grande! I went home n tended to my horse barn with sheer delight! It made my job soo much easier! So if you want a caring doctor with the most caring staff you will ever find look no more! He is my hero!!

Absolutely best! Severe back pain went from pain level of nine level of one! Excellent excellent excellent doctor. i’m disappointed with my last experience with the office. A series billing mistake, I paid a co-pay of $30 and utilize my insurance and was told that was acceptable. I’ve had two problems with that billing and have contacted the billing department and was totally can’t help. I call the office and was put on hold for a half hour, transferred to the office manager who told me she was unable to help. It is a waste of my time and I am discouraged. The doctor is amazingly qualified. And did a wonderful job. Please provide this information to the doctor, Thank you.

I came to Dr. Alamarie because I was not getting the pain relief from my previous pain control Dr. for lower back & legs. Since coming to SP&SS I've been able to return to my daily routines & comfort levels I had prior to my back injury. Plus he isa convenient drive from my home unlike the previous pain center 1hr away.

So glad I found this office to help me manage my pain. I had a lumbar spine fusion surgery done a few years ago. I am constant pain in my back and legs. I suffer from severe headaches. Dr. Alamare is an exceptional physician who has consistently provided me with excellent care. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and takes the time to listen to my concerns. He always explains my diagnosis and treatment options clearly and in a way that I can understand. I am grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pain management doctor. His staff is also very nice and accommodating to the patients. The office is very clean.

Dr. Alamarie is a pleasure. Im caring for my mother in law and take her to all her doctors appointments. She is a new patient of his and I can tell he takes a deep interest in his patience both physically and mentally. She is finding relief with the nerve blocks he is putting in her spine and we’re grateful.

My pain is gone. I can’t thank Dr Alamarie enough. He worked with me to get me the correct medications and treatments until my pain was resolved. With Oblations and Laser therapy my pain is nonexistent currently and I’m off all the medications. It’s a wonderful feeling. He and the staff are amazing.

May 30,2024 Wonderful and knowledgeable staff! Dr Alamarie is great. Explains my questions and addresses my concerns. Everyone made me feel comfortable. I’m happy to be a patient.
