Dr. Whitten has given my son his quality of life back while allowing my son to be in control of his treatment. My son has Complex Region Pain Syndrome (CRPS.) It’s known as the suicide disease because it’s 12/10 painful. It is also notoriously difficult to treat. Dr. Whitten had validated my son’s pain. He has given him treatment options every steps of the way allowing him to chose his treatment path because neither I nor Dr. Whitten are in his body. My son got to choose how aggressivly he wanted to treat it. He provided hope but never oversells. He offers evidence based treatments and is up to date on the current treatments for this rare disease. We were offered multiple modalities of treatment which my son chose. He now is free of daily excruciating pain. He gets occasional flares that abortive meds are able to stop. This is incredible progress!! I highly recommend Dr. Whitten for treatment of pain.

Dr Witten listened to my concerns. Discussion was accommodating & further x-rays ordered for pain. This is biggest concern for most clients. Time to LISTEN, be heard, and have concern for reducing the pain. Over all, it felt the MD satisfied all my concerns.
I left feeling Hopeful for some help with the pain, without Narcotics. Betsy J Pike-Hall

I really like Dr. Whitten. He is efficient, very knowledgeable, personable, and, for the most part, gentle with procedures. I only rated Nebraska Pain Institute with 3 stars because of some of the front office staff. Another reason for the 3 stars is the excessive number of appointments for one treatment. To have trigger points or bursitis injects that need, or mostly do not need, insurance authorization there are three visits. First, you must meet with a PA to establish you really need what you say you need. Ok, but I have had them before, there shouldn’t be a need for this step. Then, there is the procedure visit. This is the only time you will ever actually see Dr. Whitten for what may be only 10 minutes or less. Third, you must schedule a follow up visit. This is usually not always necessary and could be solved by a phone call to check on progress. Then, if a visit is actually needed, it could be scheduled.
My last comment is the length of wait for scheduling an appointment for those initial visits with the PA to identify the problem. I will definitely try to see Dr. Whitten and the PAs, I just really do think it shouldn’t be that difficult to schedule appointments.

I’ve had steroid injections in my shoulder, my back, and my SI joint. The problem is you have to wait and see if the pain has decreased, even better it’s gone. You might get relief in a couple of weeks or more. Or you try a different procedure. I do feel that Dr. Whitten has a lot of knowledge and experience so I trust him. I do have to say I wish the staff was more personable, I think it would calm the patient! I’m a retired RN, I worked in the hospital and then the office for 43 years total, and the patients loved to catch me up on things that happened to her family.
