I recommend Lee Carman and Pain Solutions to anyone who has not found answers to his/her pain condition anywhere else. By the time I found Lee, I had experienced debilitating thoracic back pain for nearly a year. I had already tried 3 chiropractors, 2 physical therapists. acupuncture, various different types of massage, the Egoscue Method, and several visits to my Kaiser doctor and the Kaiser physiatrist. Lee was the ONLY one who had the knowledge...and who took the time...to determine the cause of my pain. He figured out my chronic back pain was actually coming from my neck even though my neck didn't hurt. No one else had even considered my neck as the source. Thanks to Lee, I am now back at work. A year ago, I was unable to walk through the grocery store. Now, I am even able to work out again.

I was referred to Lee Caman after suffering a severe back injury at work in October 1999. What was expected to be one back fusion with a simple recovery was anything but that. Over the last 6 1/2 years, Lee has seen me through 11 back surgeries and countless procedures. Mine has not been an easy case and my body has not reacted to some of the normal treatments, procedures, and surgeries as would be expected. The knowledge, caring, and creativity Lee has used in order to develop a treatment plan for me has been amazing. It shows just how dedicated he is to trying to improve my quality of life.
Lee has never given up on believing that there is more that could be done for me either by him, or by him presenting my case to different specialists so they could treat me accordingly. In many cases, Lee identified procedures and possibilities for me that others would have missed. In order to better understand two of my surgeries, Lee took time off from work in order to be with me in the operating room to observe my SI fusion and the implantation of my spinal cord stimulator.
To Lee, you are not just another patient. You are a person and he makes sure he gets to know you as that person so he can better understand which treatments will help you in your healing process. I have always believed that having a positive attitude and trying to find humor in all situations is beneficial to my healing process. Lee's great sense of humor has helped me through some of my most difficult times.
I joke that Lee knows my body better than anyone else and, yet, there is great deal of truth to that. He can predict better than anyone how a procedure, treatment or surgery will affect me and how we need to either prepare me ahead of time, or how we proceed afterwards in order to have the best possible outcome. Because of this, and because of Lee's care and dedication to wanting the best for me, I trust him fully and above all others in my treatment.
What makes Lee Carman one of the best in his field is that he is in it for the right reason. He truly cares about his patients and is willing to do whatever it takes to improve their quality of life.
