Mark H Bouffard IV

As a recent patient, I was subject to his uppity and arrogant manner. He will scream ( I am being very serious) at you and treat you as being stupid for asking any questions or even the slightest suggestion he might be wrong. He is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr, Hyde. Stay away from this office!

I have been a patient for several years. While I see Eola Bentley-Force and am EXTREMELY happy with everything she helps me with, I have also been seen by Dr. Bouffard. Both are incredibly good at their profession. Pain is a difficult issue and helping patients get to a place of tolerable acceptance and, hopefully, relief, takes time and tremendous effort. This office has provided me with years of relief and care. I have been a patient for several years.

I am a patient of Dr Bouffard with many muscular/skeletal issues. Dr. Bouffard has given me many options on how to proceed with my problems. I trust him to do as much as he possibly can to help me. His nurse, Eola Bentley-Force, is a very warm and helpful individual who listens very carefully and always has great suggestions. The staff is also very accommodating and have written a few reports to help me document my condition when they were required.

Punctual, professional, intelligent, and capable. I’ve been to him many times over the years and he is on time to 99% of his appointments, gives great knee shots, and is quite simply a perfect doctor. I was in serious pain and I begged my gp for an ultrasound and showed her my research for why I needed one and she still wouldn’t give me the ultrasound order; bouffard took one look at my rib and said “I’m ordering you an ultrasound ” without me even mentioning ultrasounds!!

I called Dr Bouffard office on the recommendation of a friend. I was crippled with hip and leg pain. The staff was so caring, and dr Bouffard made room in his schedule to see me. I felt very welcome and cared for, never rushed; dr was very thorough, paid attention to my history, the issue at hand, and medical info I provided. Short story: I crawled in and walked out! I have anxiety issues but always felt safe. Highly recommend!

Dr. Bouffard immediately zeroed in on the problem. He sent me to have testing done, which confirmed his suspicion. I now have knowledge of issue. I am from out of state so will follow up with my providers there. If I were staying here longer Dr. Bouffard would refer me to the appropriate provider. I am very pleased with Dr. Bouffard and his staff. While being professional this is a very caring, kind provider.

I was worried that all Pain Management doctors would be the same and treat me like a "drug addict". I have found Dr. Bouffard and this staff are very approachable and kind, but still very professional. I now feel like I have options going forward and I will be able to stay with this practice to meet my needs.

every member of the staff is professional and knowledgable

Dr. Bouffard is an excellent physician who takes the time to evaluate his patients and provide care based upon patients individual needs He is kind, compassionate, polite and listens to his patients in order to best serve them.

Always taken care of ., knowing when i leave the office my pain will be gone..

Dr. Bouffard is the most knowledgeable and empathic Dr you ever want to deal with! He listens to ALL of your concerns and you never feel rushed. He truly wants you to live a pain free life. He looks at the whole picture and not just the one area of pain. When he's speaking to you, you are the most important patient! He will personally call you at home, after a procedure to see how you're doing. If he has an emergency and your appointment needs to be changed, he calls you after hours. He is one FANTASTIC Pain and Spine Dr. We won "the lotto" when we crossed paths with Dr. Bouffard.

My appointments are always timely and I receive a very high level of care.

he always listens and discusses options

the best doctor ever no pain i fill 100 percent free i love coming to him gets the good done thank you very much for all you do

I have been under Dr. Bouffard's care for many years and every visit I feel that I was able to express my symptoms and we could openly discuss what the best treatment plan was. The staff and nurses are so warm and friendly that it is a safe space when you are feeling a lot of pain and are vulnerable.

very pleased with this doctor, listens, advises, spends quality time with me.

my husband and i both highly recommend the Pain and Spine Center of the Desert for your pain management needs. we have an assortment of chronic pain issues, and we feel that Dr. Bouffard and Eola Bentley-Force truly have empathy and an invested interest in our quality of life. our pain management needs are difficult and complicated at times, but they are able to provide a treatment plan that works for us. we have seen several physicians over the years and the staff at the pain and spine center have provides us with excellent care we weren't able to find anywhere else, Eola has improved the of our lives tremendously. also, we must add that the office is always clean front to back. the staff is always friendly and attentive to our needs.

Dr. Bouffard has always been attentive, and has addressed my pain management in an easy to understand manner. His staff has always made sure that I am 100% after an in-office procedure before they let me leave the office. I have been a patient here for over 8 years, and have never had any problems with Dr. Bouffard or his staff. I have never seen guard dogs in his office.

My husband was treated by this Doctor when we moved to the Desert. He said things Doctors don’t say, no personality, never looks up from his computer, no bedside manner, very critical and non trusting. Pain docs should never treat their patients as he does. Never would we recommend him And we are seeing a caring pain specialist now. His reputation in the Desert is not good and he is a very difficult person to get along with.

Great Doc who cares about patients outcome and finding the best results

very strange office. had guard dog(s). did drug testing as I was leaving. very strange office!

Go somewhere else unless you want to be hooked on the strongest pain meds available. He is quick to give them away, if you want pain meds just come to this quack.

My experience with Bouffard was a disaster. I am very lucky to be alive. Many nights in the E.R. All due to Bouffard's recommendations to Treat arthritis. He is really a legalized drug dealer. Be very careful of him.

Dr. Bouffard is a doctor who really listens and after examining me, he clearly explained what options I had to treat my problems and answered all my questions. He was able to fit in my treatment the same day so that I didn't have to come back another day. His office staff are also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend going to see Dr. Bouffard for any issues as he has no problem referring you to another specialist if he feels that will help.

Very professional. Diagnosed a bulging disc confirmed by MRI. Only took one steroid shot followed by oral steroids. Everything went well and I am now 100%. His staff are very friendly, casual and efficient.

I've been a patient of Dr. Bouffards' for the last 8/9 years and I really appreciate that I can be seen at my scheduled appointment time with NO waiting. Dr. Bouffard genuinely cares about his patients and I feel like he really listens and adapts patient care accordingly. Thank you Dr. B!!

Dr. Bouffard is truly by far and away one of the best doctors I have ever received treatment from! Nothing I can say really does justice to this man. He is extremely intelligent, a compassionate and caring person, and one who treats his patients with dignity and respect. I appreciate how generous he is with his time, and how he clearly answers questions and concerns. I honestly feel like he cares about me and my medical issues. His office staff is also AMAZING!

Your kidding he overcharged for time spent. Insurance companies need to check into this.

Dr. Bouffard is so rude and condescending. If you ask him a question, he looks at you like you are an idiot. Does not listen to your concerns. He may be a talented doctor, but he has zero bedside manner. His staff is also unfriendly. Wait times are over 45 minutes to an hour.

Overpriced, 300 dollars for ten min of time with the dr. I suffer from multiple knee surgeries and back pain. Limited pain management. Total fail.

Very condescending!! Rude!! He yells at me!! Makes me feel stupid. Not very personable. His staff is rude also!

Open air offices with no privacy. Rude staff and doctor. Long waits to see Dr. B. Charges extra fees over Medicare.

too long a wait. Apt 11:00 a.m. Informed 9 paints ahead of me. Figure that one out. Apt 3:45. 3 patients in waiting room when I arrived. Left at 4:10. No one moved to be taken in .
