My husband was referred to him by our PCP. He has a history of sciatica due to sport injuries decades ago. In Utah he received steroid injections which gave him great relief. He talked with Dr. Euribe about that treatment and was told that he used the same method. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
Instead of using fluoroscopy to find the right spot to inject, he did 3 injections in the "general area". He said that this is the "newest way of doing" this procedure. Hubby went to him for 3 rounds of injections (9 months) with absolutely no relief. He was in so much pain and Dr Euribe offered no other options. He got back to his PCP and she recommended The National Pain Institute which is located next to Aldi on 441.
It was a very different experience! He was examined by Dr Satish Venkataperumal and got a full medical history, detailed exam, MRI evaluation and explained the procedure of steroid injections which he would use. It was done under fluoroscopy, so that the injections are given to the exact location needed. Just like he had received in Utah years ago!!! My hubby got immediate relief and has only needed one other injection about 10 months later.
When I think of the time my hubby spent in pain and the costs that Dr. Euribe charged to Medicare for injections that were useless, my blood pressure goes sky high! We made sure that our PCP knew what our experience was at both providers. I would never recommend Dr Euribe to anyone. His shotgun approach may work for some, but the technique using fluoroscopy to locate the exact nerve that should be injected, is the proper way to do this procedure and we feel foolish for letting Dr Euribe allow my husband to be in pain for 9 months, while he only offered his shotgun approach.
We are really thankful for National Pain Institute for providing him some real relief ,that was done properly, and therefore has had long lasting results.
Do not go to Euribe!!!!!
