My name is Claudia. I live in Pleasant Valley and I damaged my thoracic spine. I couldn’t stand up. I was looking at my knees but we had gone to my regular pain management doctor and I was in so much pain that day that I actually brought tears to his eyes. So he says “Hold on a minute”. We heard him on the phone. He pulled Dr. U and said “Look, I can’t help her anymore.” And Dr. U said “Send her over.” That has been my experience when Doctor makes an appointment, it’s a 3-5 month wait. I was in Dr. U’s office within 25 minutes.

Dr. U of Eastern Pain Medicine in Fishkill can help. He also came to visit me at home one time because I couldn’t get up out of my bed and he decided “Okay, we tried other things. Now, we’re gonna try the punt. I was able to stand up right away. And I was like “Wow, ooh there’s better up here. How tall I am.” So no more wheelchair and I graduated to a walking stick. In the morning, I’m like the Tin Man and a dumb husband, “Oh ey oh, oh ey oh.” That was all the pain. It’s gone down. And I went from plus 10 to about 3.

Dr. U of Eastern Pain Medicine in Fishkill can help. I would say that he listens to you. He will assess you as a whole person. We had tried other things. It didn’t work. Just being able to stand up, I feel like a new person again. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of your current doctor. Don’t especially be afraid to come to Dr. U and ask questions because you’ll get an answer. I’m a 100% disabled and you never know it. What I do feel is a lessening in pain and an ability to move. You feel like “Wow, I can get up out of my chair.” You will feel relief from pain.

Dr. U is extremely human. He does not hold himself above and look down the sliding nose there at you. He looks at you right in the eye. He’s honest with you. He’ll tell you just the way it is in your own language. He won’t try to be up deem and put on air and all that stuff. And I had an emergency. I’m talking about emergency, not call him up every 5 minutes. This was a really bad emergency and he actually came into my house. I never heard that before. You know everything is taking cared for you and not go to the hospital whereas I would have had to go to the emergency room or something.

The girls are wonderful. They know I forget a lot. A few days before they’ll call, “Claudia,your appointments coming up.” They get to know you. We get to know everybody’s names. Dr. U would never just walk by. Nice big smile. He acknowledges you as a person. That’s all I want to say, equal to himself. He’s not up on a pedestal and he does everything within his power and he doesn't just try things. This is gonna work, we’ll let it go for a little while. If it does not work, we’ll take it out and we’ll do something else that will address the same problem.

I have neck and lower back pain. I had a car accident and since then, I’ve been experiencing pain. I was almost bed-bound to the point where I didn't want to get out of bed most days. I would only get out of bed once in a while to do things that had to do no matter what. But it has gotten way better. I’m able to work again. I was actually able to go back to school and I can actually, you know, stand up and walk around more now. And I actually go to the gym once in a while too. He was just very calm and patient. 

Eastern Pain Medicine

I’ve tried bedrest. I tried trigger point injections. Epidurals. I’ve seen many different doctors just to try to see what they would do. I went to physical therapy for almost a year and all it did was make it worse because there wasn’t anything to help the pain. I did acupuncture too. Acupuncture made it worse. My muscles would swell more. It actually hurt worse. I started coming here over a year ago. And slowly but surely it started to get better and better. He’s a great man and he really tries to help as many people as he can.

Dr. U of Eastern Pain Medicine in Fishkill can help. About two years back, I was involved in a car accident that gave me pain in my neck and lower back. I couldn’t do things with my son. I couldn’t work at my job nomore. It used to affect my life very hugely. But it has gotten way better. Now, I actually see the light. Dr. U is an amazing man. You know, new patients. It’s like you come in, you’re always nervous because it’s a new doctor. He was just very calm. He’s understanding. He’s a great man and he does care about people.

Eastern Pain Medicine

You know it would come and go and you would take medications for it. I’m not a pill person. I don’t like to keep taking medications. I want to have it fixed without surgery. He’s helped immediately. And the last resort is when he gives you several injections and it last for a while and then it wears off. Then he does the burning of the nerve and that’s fantastic. Like he just gave me the injection from my neck. Not a feel anything. He gives you something to numb like you go to the dentist. Well, he injects the area, numbs it right up, and you don’t feel a thing.

Dr. U of Eastern Pain Medicine in Fishkill can help. So the shot I had today was to alleviate that pain that goes up to back of my head, in my shoulder, and down my arm. And it does work. I’m able to do things. I live alone so I may be able to move around pretty much pain-free. There’s a little pain once in a while. I have a lot of arthritis but other than that, no I’m fine. It wouldn’t keep coming back up. My friend here, I just told her my experience. She’s in a lot of pain. She has arthritis and other things. And I said “Why don’t you give it a try?” It won’t hurt to try. I would highly recommend Dr. U. I would recommend him to anybody.

My name is Elizabeth and I’m from Poughkeepsie, New York. I would say I’ve been in pain close to 10 years. It started with issues with my back and my sciatica. Then I started with my right shoulder and arm. The doctor feels that is caused by the surgery that I had in my neck and it does work. He knows what he's doing. Someone gave me his name. Oh my chiropractor gave me his name and I’ve been coming to him for my back, for my sciatica, and for my pain in my shoulder and my neck.

Elizabeth

Dr. U of Eastern Pain Medicine in Fishkill can help. It’s great to be able to get up and say “Oh I can do this today. It does not bother me, I have no pain. I knit, I read, I love to read. Go to movies. Eat out. There are good stuff, yeah. Oh yes, you're in pain, you can’t go and sit and have a conversation to watch the people cause you’re uncomfortable. And you make them uncomfortable. I would tell them to go to Dr. U. I mean look at all the people that comes and goes here. That’s an example right there. Oh, the staff is great. They’re very nice, very very nice. Pleasant, makes you laugh. If you’re in pain you should try him.

My name is Mary Ann, I’m from the city of Poughkeepsie, and I’ve been coming to Dr. U for about 3 years. I have sciatica problems and my spine isn’t straight. I have a shoulder that I had rotator cuff surgery done on and I have been in pain for the past 5 years since I have done it. Pain never went away, you know, he helps me with that. It’s much better. I can do things now. He’s a very good doctor—very nice, easy to talk to, to get along with. Well, he gives me the shots. I don’t feel it at all, you don't feel any pain and I’ve been good since.

Mary Ann

I got up early on, and then they sent me to another doctor. I got shots there and they didn't work. And then I ended up at Dr. U. They actually recommended me to him and from there, we tried shots again which would work for a few days. And then finally, we went to a spinal stimulator cord, that relieved 50% of my pain right off the gate and it feels pretty good. It’s amazing the way it works. It relieves the pain. I can actually sleep through the night and I didn’t get to do that for years.

My name is Sebastian. I live in Hyde Park, New York. I was a truck driver and I’ve been in pain for about 3 years now. Back pain and nerve pain going down my leg. I had a herniated disc which gave me permanent nerve damage. Standing, sitting, sleeping, all of it hurt me. Driving my car, I couldn't do any of it. And I got two little kids so that really affected them by me not being able to pick them up, play with them, stuff like that. So I do what I can to help my wife out and she basically takes care of the rest. Some day, I’d say it’s looking good. I mean everytime I come here, we’re looking better and better. So he’s given me hope.

Dr. U of Eastern Pain Medicine in Fishkill can help. Tried the chiropractor and that didn’t work. That’s right off the get-go from the chiropractor right to the doctor. Then physical therapy and then I should have been back to work. But it was 6 weeks, I did some physical therapy. I was still sitting on the couch in pain. That’s why I’m here now. I would recommend that spinal cord stimulator for anybody who has permanent nerve damage or is in pain. I’ve been coming to Dr. Yu for right about 2 years now and he’s helped out a lot. It's looking good. I mean everytime I come here, we’re looking better and better.
