I waited years to go get help about my back pain. Because I was terrified of anyone giving me needles in my back. I had both my children naturally Because I didn't want an epidural. So for years l delt with the pain. Trying everShow moreything they (my regular dr) wanted to try. Chiropractic care for years, not only physical but aqua therapy (several times) but nothing helped my pain just got worse every day. Till one day my sister had a bad car accident and she after all she went through as well because of the pain she went to Dr Achampong and kept telling me to go at least talk to he he might be able to help. So after another couple years and more pain. I made the decision and went. Well it was the best decision I ever made. Dr Achampong is the most caring and sincere and supportive Dr I have ever had. I don't trust anyone but him to do my injections because he makes it as painless as possible and I TRUST him. He listen to my questions and answers them and helps me do what is best for me and my health and pain. He also not needing to but let me know i had a huge kidney stone on one side and thought that to may be at that time why we were having a hard time monitoring and trying to help my pain issues at that time. And because of him went to see my urologist and had to have it removed. But like everything else he knows and I know I have a issue growing large kidney stones very quickly. So he he knows and I keep him informed because of that as well. He helped get me on a good path to help me be better not only because of my pain but my health also. Now I know not everyone is same but when you find a Dr you can trust and does all he can to help you whenever he can. Hold on because they are far and in-between. He also does my migraine injections every 12 weeks. I love my Dr Achampong don't know what I would do without him. Thanks Dr Henry I appreciate all you do for me and my family. GOD BLESS YOU!
I've never been more comfortable around people who are about to cram a couple of needles between my vertebrae and juice me up like thanksgiving turkey. The nursing Staff are very friendly and add a very warm and welcoming atmospheShow morere and time and time again have gone above and beyond to help with getting paperwork or other clerical issues resolved. The doctors here have always been super friendly and very direct are very open to questions or concerns you may have about treatment and care. They'll take the time to explain in detail everything youd want and need to know about medications and treatment options and are very open to questions and suggestions about different treatments or alternative treatment even. On top of that the epidural procedure is as painless as it comes. A flu shot or alergey shot is more uncomfortable than than a epidural and that's 100% on the Dr's and nurse staff. The whole process even is so efficient and quick you can order a pizza from specific before you go in the room and by the time your out and drive over They'll be boxing it up. 10/10 would inject again.

My consultation with Dr Achampong was excellent. I will be returning for further visits
I was able to get the injection in my back. Initially, after the injection I experienced increased pain, but by end of day it had decreased quite a bit. This morning, the pain as decreased even more, but still have some aches in my right low back and hips and mildly in my left calf. I am, however, walking and standing straight than I've been able to in a while.
Great!!!
Dr. Henry is my miracle man. Pain is not gone, but it is understood. After years of being told it was all in my mind, someone who realizes what it really is. And he keeps trying to find a solution!
I like Dr. Henry’s bedside manner. He is patient and listens carefully and closely as I explain to him about my health condition (s). I don’t feel rushed to speak. He is a keeper.

I love Dr. Henry and his entire staff! I cannot say enough about them. If I had to find anything negative about them, it could only be that sometimes he is running behind.

Very busy practice...However well worth the wait... Thankful for The Staff that dose care!!!
The doctor really listened to my issues. He was kind understanding and very informative. He discussed pain management that none of my other doctors have ever discussed with me. I’m so happy to have found this practice
Dr. HENRY is amazing! I was undiagnosed for years on certain pain conditions and after the 1st 2 visits he knew exactly what I had and treated my symptoms accordingly and I have had relief with his treatments. He is so kind and caring and takes his time listening to my concerns. I highly reccomend him to anyone who is in need of a pain specialist
It was fast and the worker nice
Dr Henry was VERY nice and seemed to listen to everything I had to say. I guess I cannot ask for more than that. I admit I am very very afraid of this new route we’re taking for my pain and I wish he had waited until “after” my physical therapy to begin this new treatment but we shall see.
Sometimes long waits but usually in and out in 1hr. Insurance is being a pain approving things that they used to approve for the last 30years. So really I give a 4.5 star. .5 less for waits. But doc def wants to help relieve pain and works with patients in what they ask to keep them working like me.
Dr. Henry is a PHENOMENAL and CARING doctor just like his staff. Everyone of Dr. Henry's staff are AMAZING and KIND. If you don't believe me go and experience it yourself.
Dr. Henry is usually prompt and very helpful. He will not just push pain meds on you, he will help find a solution to your pain through many ways. The entire office staff is amazing and I look forward to working with them during my visit.
Dr. Henry and his staff are very friendly and experienced.
