Several years ago, after six years of an arthritic condition that left me with chronic pain, no relief and very depressed, I practically crawled into Dr. Janet Pearl’s office. I told Dr. Pearl that she was my last best shot. Two months later I walked out pain free and standing tall. From time to time, Dr. Pearl has tweaked this now aging body. My entire family live in Australia and I hadn’t seen them in over 14 years. My oldest brother was dying and I thought I would never see them again. I had knee replacement surgery one year ago. No way could I travel that far. Six months after the surgery, I was doing well and made a surprise booking to visit my family one last time for April 2014. Everyone thrilled and happy and looking forward to my visit.
A little over a week before I was to leave, my aches returned to the point where I thought I would have to cancel this long awaited trip…l2,000 miles each way. I called Dr. Pearl and she worked her magic the very next day. “We will get you on that plane Val”. I had a wonderfiil visit and was surrounded by so much love. I saw my ill brother and he was so happy to see me. Never thought this would happen. I brought back so much love to last the rest of my life.Of course this body did not get off scot free and Dr. Pearl again worked her magic. An e-mail from my younger brother who was also my host, said it all. “Please convey to Dr. Pearl our appreciation for getting you on the plane at Boston and allowing us to share so much Fun and good times with you when you were here. Love from all in 0Z.”
Thank you Dr Pearl.
Having had many different procedures, the ones that work the best for me are the Radio Frequency Ablation in the facet joints in my lower spine and the Botox injections into the muscles that spasms in my upper back. Dr. Pearl’s technique is excellent. She is very gentle and also reassuring, making sure that the patient’s comfort is always attended to. I am glad to have found Dr. Pearl as she is a caring individual with compassion for her patients.”
I became a patient of yours about a year ago. I had been a back pain patient of another Pain Doctor for over ten years during which my treatment consisted of epidurals to relieve chronic back pain. At my first meeting with your staff, I immediately became aware of the sensitivity and professionalism that each staff member demonstrated. Their depth of experience manifested itself in their background questions as well as their examination techniques. Upon completion of their examination, we met and you explained to me your perspective on back pain, the different treatments available and finally your recommendation. Treatment began shortly thereafter in the form of an epidural. I immediately became aware that you had a totally different operating technique for an epidural. Your technique is very caring, explanatory, and the procedure is complete before I actually realize I am receiving the medicine in my back. This same methodology has been repeatedly used to alleviate my back pain each and every time. The only word I can use to describe how I feel after your procedure is Nirvana. Within a few hours, I am totally free of pain. This goes on to last for a long period of time. My last procedure was six days ago and I have been without any back pain or even a symptom of pain since that time. I am able to function at 100% and the quality of my physical life improvement is total, i.e., 100%. Based on my last ten years’ experience, your results are always phenomenal. You are able to pinpoint exactly where the medicine should be injected. You are precise and an expert at what you do. I feel very fortunate and indeed grateful to be your patient.
I also wanted to thank you for suggesting I see Dr. Pearl, the pain specialist. She was really Terrific. Very professional, took the time to discuss all my ailments with me and was truly interested in my well being. I wish to thank you again and suggest you recommend her to other patients who need her kind of practice.
“I became aware of Dr. Pearl’s expertise over ten years ago, when she was the Co-Director of the Pain Management Center at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and several of my patients, who were also under the care of neurologists at that facility, happened also to be under her care. I have been consistently impressed by and pleased with Dr. Pearl’s thoughtful, thorough, and compassionate assessment of the many patients we have shared over the years who have suffered from one or another acute or chronic pain syndrome. I can also speak to her exceptional technical expertise. It is with considerable confidence that I have referred and continue to refer patients to her. We are very fortunate to have her practicing in the Framingham area now.”
Don’t Suffer Any Longer…
