He’s takes his time with his patents. He does ask lots of questions to see how I’m doing. Also, he provides information on things that could help me get better or live with the pain but something that would help ease the pain a liShow morettle better. This is one of the better Pain Management Offices who seem to care about us. I would recommend this Pain Management to anyone who is having a difficult time with their health. Also, the other Doctors have the knowledge and share information on what may help me with CRPS. They explain things to me and provide literature on issues that may help in my situation with CRPS. Dr. Brinkman seems to be more knowledgeable on CRPS than some of other doctors before I came here. Ladies in the front office are very pleasant to talk to. The nurses take information from us and they ask how I’m doing and how I’ve been doing each month. I highly recommend Dr. Brinkman and the other Doctors here. Do as they ask you to do and you will be pleased with the recommendation. When you need help they will send you to therapy if that is what is needed. Thank you for helping me
My experience with this practice has always been a good and positive one. Dr.Hadaad is truly a blessing. He is very compassionate and always helpful. He always tells me not to hesitate to let him know if I need anything and has heShow morelped me get things like a back brace to help my lower back among other helpful things. Yesterday, I saw a different doctor and that experience was also a positive one. The only thing that I would say is the difference between visits with Dr. Hadaad and other medical professionals there is that I have very little wait time with Dr. Hadaad compared to other medical professionals. For this reason, I gave 4 stars and the wait time I think is the only thing that needs improvement with some of the medical professionals there...but, also, I do understand that it is highly possible with this visit being so close to Thanksgiving that this doctor could have been the only one there and taking on a double caseload. You just never know BUT it was a good and positive visit nonetheless. :)
Carl D Brinkman, PA, is a Physician Assistant specializing in Pain Management. With three offices in Piedmont, Myrtle Beach, and Spartanburg, South Carolina, patients can choose the United Physician Group locations nearest them. Mr. Brinkman sees patients at the South Carolina offices.
He received his Master of physician assistant studies from the University of the Cumberlands after receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic.
Before becoming a physician assistant, Mr. Brinkman owned and operated his chiropractic practice. With a desire to expand his scope of medicine, he decided to embark in a new direction by enrolling in physician assistant school.
His chiropractic and clinical background set him apart. His clinical experience and owning his own office for five years have helped him tune in on where a patient’s pain is coming from and how to treat the whole patient better.
As a PA, he previously worked in both orthopedics and sports medicine. Pain management, he says, brings with it a particular brand of satisfaction. He feels it’s rewarding to help people who many other doctors have turned down.
According to Mr. Brinkman, a pain management provider’s job is to look at the patient’s issue holistically. In doing so, the provider can choose the best intervention from various options, including spinal cord stimulators, steroid injections, and peripheral nerve stimulators.
“Figuring out the cause and finding a solution other than medication is the most important thing pain management providers can do now,” he says. The pain management professionals at United Physician Group operate as a team. They collaborate and try to find the best solution possible for the situation.
Today he puts his physician assistant degree to use by focusing on Pain Management at United Physician Group. His most immense joy comes from allowing a patient to realize medication isn’t the only answer to pain management.
Outside of caring for his patients, Mr. Brinkman enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. He is also an avid golfer.
