I have been a patient of Dr. VanDercar since 2007. I had a very bad car accident in fall 2006 and went through a year of pain that was increasing not decreasing as I was treated with physical therapy and little else. Doctors in general prefer to avoid pain patients because of our insane drug laws that seek to make criminals of them also and then there are the ones who for other reasons avoid it and just find a way to get rid of their patients like this. It is especially true for anyone who is not considered elderly.
The chronic severe pain had sent me into depression. I got to a point where I couldn’t sit or stand up because of my low back. Fortunately, just out of pure luck, I found Dr. VanDercar going through the yellow pages. I couldn’t believe he is real. He totally cares about people who live everyday with enormous pain. He gets it. I am now getting to a point where I can do ok with much less pain medication. It isn’t just the medication that helps, It is also how he will talk with you and figure out what is the best he can do for you and let you know how you can do the best for yourself. I can never say enough to express my appreciation.
I hope that the medical community will pay attention to his practice and try to emulate it in every city and state.
Thank you for all you do.
