Gerald Trimble

My husband was a patient of Dr Trimble 12 years ago he saw a doctor Trimble for about 13 years Dr Trimble tried facet joint injections nerve blocks spinal stimulator and other types of therapy when he could no longer manage my husband's pain with any treatment out there as nothing worked he finally put them on pain medication it was the only alternative left as much as we didn't like it it was at least keeping my husband not totally paying free but enough to have quality of life after about 13 years Dr Trimble said to us one appointment that it would be the last time we would be seeing him unless we would like to be pulled off all the medication we then looked at him and said that would be great if you pulled us off the medication what do you have planned for treatment and we were told there is no treatments left out there to try so we just have to deal with the pain first do no harm but yet he gets rid of his patient because that's the only alternative I think it was only to make him look good like he's not prescribing pain medications now a lot of doctors are doing the same thing and I am actually in Jeopardy of my husband having a heart attack as he has a heart condition as well with mechanical heart valves and we have no doctor in 4 days of medication left with the doctor that we have because now the pharmacies don't want to fill these types of medications because it makes them look bad good luck with this doctor he has a horrible bedside manner and if he can't treat you with types of therapy which we all hope works cuz none of us want to be on any kind of medications he will dump you and just basically tell you deal with the pain

I have been a patient of Dr Trimble’s for four years now. He has been great. His bedside manner is great. He’s super sweet. He has done everything be can to help me with my chronic pain due to spinal injuries and I would definitely suggest seeing him. He has helped me so much. His staff is also wonderful. They are very helpful and accommodating.

Super efficient, well-run office. The first concern Dr. Trimble addressed was my back pain that had been steadily worsening for 25 years. One spinal injection on the right side, and I came dancing out of the treatment room! Second injection yesterday on other side went just as smoothly. I have had to wait only a short time at each of my 3 visits. As good as this care provider us, I’d wait hours for him! After an injection, patients are asked to stay for 10 minutes to monitor for any adverse reactions and rewuedted to report on their pain (better yet, no pain!) scale. Does his sound like a care provider who doesn’t csre about his oatients? I noticed that some patients were unhappy that Dr. Trimble, a skilled anesthesiologist, treats pain with nerve injections and nerve blocks. This is his preferred methid of treatment rather than “pain pills” and should ge applauded. I heartily recommend this practice for your oain concerns.

If you want your pain controlled...Dr. Tremble is your guy! Very caring and easy to talk to. He actually wants to get you better!

My back & leg pain was so excruciating I wasn't able to walk or even sit. I credit Dr. Trimble and the epidural injections he administered for enabling me to get my life back. He is very professional, intelligent and compassionate. His assistant is wonderful along with the front office staff. It's such a relief that you don't have to wait weeks or months to get an appointment or a follow-up. Highly recommend! My back & leg pain was so excruciating I wasn't able to walk or even sit.

Always quick to see someone or for a follow-up. The results worked for me before 2 years ago and now back again. I've been to other pain management locations and it's been 1 to 2 hrs to get anything done. I will always go back to Dr. Trimble. Thanks to the whole staff.

He has helped me when no one else seemed to care he has been caring for my nerve pain from hernia sugery i spent three years in pain he has been a blessing i will always be greatfull to him and staff they realy care and have done a great job i feel so much better than before still under his care but getting better he is a great doctor.

First let me say the injections were very helpful, but extremely painful. Dr. Trimble did not seem concerned about the pain, just wanted to get on to the next patient like an assembly line. I was told by Ron that my back issues were not severe enough for surgery. Well I did see a reputable surgeon and had 3 disks replaced along with other severe problems. They just want you to keep coming back for injections with no sign of empathy. The front office was very nice. First let me say the injections were very helpful, but extremely painful.

Be warned!

Dr. Trimble has the worst bedside manners of any doctor I have ever met. At my initial consultation, he was rude, condescending, and I am never going back. Run the other way if referred to this practice

I have been a patient of Dr. Trimble for many years. I have 4 fusions in my lower back with an erector set to go along with it. He has performed epidurals, radio frequency ablation, and surgically implanted a spinal cord stimulator for me. I have gotten great pain relief from these procedures with very limited medication. I have the up most confidence in Dr. Trimble and his staff . I highly recommend him. I have been a patient of Dr. Trimble for many years.

I saw Dr. Trimble on three separate periods of back problems, years apart. Each time I received lumbar epidural injections. They can be given up to three in a series, depending upon your success. First time I saw him, I only needed two injections, I think they were several weeks apart, and then my back pain was gone. I was fine for about a year, and then my back (left sciatica) acted up again - I could not walk. I went through another series of three injections that time I believe (it could have only been two, I don't remember). Then I was fine for 5 years until it acted up again to the point I had trouble walking. I had another series of two injections to get my back right again. I then moved out of the area. Dr. Trimble was always direct, focused on what he was doing, and very diligent about the procedure he was performing. He's not a great hand-holder, but that's not his job. He does his job extremely well and that is what I was looking for. I highly recommend him.

Revolving door of PAs. Dr Trimble only sees patients for injections/procedures. No individualized care, no one ever remembers who you are, what you're being treated for or follows thru on planned course of action. Solely a cash generating business. My family doctor advised me against Dr Trimble, should have listened! Revolving door of PAs. Dr Trimble only sees patients for injections/procedures.

I only visited this doctor two times. This doctor didn’t care if I was in pain or anything. I was really disappointed and never went back. He was rude for one. I never felt he was there for me. I came from another state and had a perfect recommendation from my prior pain doctor. This doctor will not give you oral meds period no matter how much pain your in. On my second visit I was in so much pain and he said “what’s wrong with you?” When I told him I was in a lot of pain he said nothing back in return. His personality sucks. I left after the second visit and never returned.

Dr Trimble devotes himself to improving the life of his patients.

The WORST, most non caring, unprofessional, condescending, sanctimonious doctor I have ever met. After 5 surgeries on my spine, I’ve met hundreds of physicians. This man never heard the phrase....DO NO HARM. He ignored my request to use marcane (because of an allergy to lidocaine). Used NO SEDATION for my injections....I thought I was going to pass out. He told me an offensive, dirty joke to “distract me”. STAY AWAY FROM HIM...you will regret it if you are treated by him. Shame on him.

From Dr Trimble's intro to RadioFreq. Injections 10 years ago for extreme thoracic pain, to elbow pain conditions, to chronic knee/s and sciatic, now hip pain, this office has been stellar in addressing medical and homeopathic modalities to alleviate or minimize my chronic and often acute pain. Thank you for managing my pain. Ron and Joseph are Outstanding as well, with attention, care, listening, advising and comforting. Thank you all so much. The admin staff is great too! Thanks MUCH!

Both Dr.s Trimble & Whitworth are excellent. Staff is wonderful - very helpful.

Dr. Trimble is my hero! Only down side is that it takes so long to get to see him and that is so frustrating when one is in such pain. But, if you are fortunate enough to get in when you NEED to, there is no better doctor to address your pain! He is amazing....knowledgeable and professional!

Avoid this man at all costs. He is THE injection salesman, no matter what your medical needs are. He is Irresponsible and negligent.

NEVER SEE THIS INJECTION SALESMAN. If you present with a hangnail, you will get a $450 Epidural injection. If you see Trimble for a painful ingrown nose hair, you will receive a painful Epidural injection. If your feet hurt because your shoes are too tight, this is definitely an Epidural injection situation. I believe July is a month for specials. Buy 2 Epidural injections, get one free. This is really a professional office and the tables guarantee magazines 4 years and older. Heeyyyy!

Poorly run by the office staff. I had to have the insurance intervene for incorrect billing and over billing. The doctor did not even want to view the MRI before injections, but yet I had to take a pee test before even being seen. Shady shady shady business.

First, do no harm. Most doctors respect and obey this critical medical rule. They want to help, not hurt, their patients. But there are a few who seem to have missed this important message. They may look at their patients and see an opportunity to make money. Or they may simply not care enough to be careful when taking care of people. First, do no harm.

Always very professional and compassionate. They go the extra mile by taking time to explain conditions and work on a customized individual treatment plan

Dr Trimble is absolutely wonderful. Instills confidence. Great pain relief. Just had radio frequency ablation and am expecting the best.

I was told NOTHING about anaesthestic for the injection into thoracic spine. I was simply asked by the nurse if I had driven down myself, which I had, but again absolutely no mention of available anaetshestic, although my insurance company had pre-approved it. It was my first time having an epidural so I had no idea how painful it would be. It was excruciating and technician was flippant about my obv discomfort . When Doc asked why no anaesthetic he said "she looked like she could handle it!"

Upon entering the office the patient has to wait over a half hour to be checked in. Dr Trimble spends very little time talking to patient about problem and history. Does not discuss treatment plan. Finishes treatment by sending patient to PA. SHe talks over patient,without listening to patients concerns. RUde and discourtious manner. I will not seek treatment here again.

I am terrified of him. He failed to provide quality care and adequate pain management for the pain caused by the bulging disk in my neck. I now have chronic joint pain from the injections he recommended. He failed to discuss this side effect until I brought it up with the nurse. I also had terrible side effects from the pills that he prescribed. When I attempted to discuss my issues he stated he didn't have time for me to go into the details. He completely failed me as a patient.

Office personnel were friendly and efficient. Dr. Trimble was gentle, understanding and caring..I underwent the initial spinal injection immediately following the office visit...scheduling for 2nd and 3rd injections was a breeze. Overall, I am completely satisfied with his care.

What a VERY badly run outfit this is. My PC referred me for an injection for a pinched nerve causing intense pain running down arm. I was told it would be almost a month until I could be seen and even then, I would be seen by Dr. Trimble's assistant to review history. Now, I can't get to see the doctor until almost SIX weeks after my first call requesting an appt, even though I discovered I did NOT need the appt. to "go thru history with his assistant". It seems like the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. This whole experience has been TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE for a pain management enterprise. God help us if *this* is all the help we have to alleviate pain! What a VERY badly run outfit this is. My PC referred me for an injection for a pinched nerve causing intense pain running down arm.

I was told 20 years ago to see a Pain Management doctor and I thought it was a doctor who passed out pain medicine and taught you how to endure the pain. Was I ever wrong!! My husband, Jim Roberts nagged me for months to see Dr.Trimble, With low expectations, I finally went for an appointment. This guy is GREAT!! I'm not in to taking pain medicine and he has a treatment plan that works for me.

Dr Whitworth was gentle, concerned,, listened and was able to relief my pain with just a few injections. It was a such a pleasure walking out of the office feeling so much better. Thank you again for your help. I will be back on a regular basis when needed,

Dr. Trimble has a horrible bed side manner. He is the most uncaring physician I have ever met. The only reason my wife went to his practice was Dr. Susan Samlaska. Dr. Samlaska left and Dr. Trimble will not tell her patients where she is practicing. Dr. Trimble is very rough and rude. I would not let this man practice on my dog, let alone my wife again! Dr. Trimble is only concerned about money. He charges $400 for a drug screen that they do not even send it out to be processed. Ripoff!

In 2005 I had 4 cervical vertebrae collapse pinching my spinal nerve. Due to two surgeries and fusing all 7 vertebrae I retained my ability to walk and use my arms. However, I was also left with constant pain in my neck and shoulders. For five years I used a different pain management doctor. The primary treatment consisted of Oxycodon that I took several times daily. Enter Dr. Trimble, who took a new path, and now after about 5 months working with him I have less pain than I have had for years. I am much more active and no longer taking narcotic pain relievers!
