Everything about the visit and procedure was excellent. The staff was really great and the procedure ( bi-lateral L-1 nerve block) was done quickly and with very little discomfort. Dr. Gajjar clearly explained the procedure beforehand and during and has a good “bedside manner”. I highly recommend him.

I had been a patient for nearly five years, my back had deteriorated to the point of spontaneous vertebral fractures. I went because I could no longer stand up for more than 5 minutes without excruciating pain. His advice to me was to go back to physical therapy. Really?? I found another doctor and had nerve oblation within 3 weeks. No pain, no meds.

Dr Gajjar and his staff have been an important part of me living my best life. There is no other doctor I trust more. He has found innovative ways to deal with my back pain. If he tells you to lose weight its because he knows how much it will help. Always treats me with dignity but honest about ways to keep yourself healthy and safe.

He is patient and very good at what he does. He has been taking care of my back problems for years. I highly recommend him.

Dr, Gajjar was engaging, funny, and informative. He made me comfortable at all times and explained everything thoroughly. Moreover, he took the time to make sure that I truly understood what he was saying. I would be happy to receive care from him again any day and would recommend him to my closest family and friends without reservation.

What is it with the Pain Management Doctors down here in the Williamsburg/Newport News area. I've tried to gain an apt with several (Dr. Dawson & now Dr. Gajjar) on recommendations from my internist. First Dr. Dawson's reception desk asked for a referral from our No. VA. Pain Management Doctor and after receiving it they said Dr. Dawson wasn't interested in seeing me as a patient (a first for me!!). Now Dr. Gajjar, went thru the same procedure (referral sent to him) and that was two weeks ago with no resolution as to wether he'll see us or not. His reception desk said he reviews all referrals and makes a decision on whether he thinks he can help the paitient or not.....two weeks and waiting. Glad I don't have cancer I'd be dead by now.

Quick, friendly, and professional.

He is a very horrible person I do not recommend this guy. He denies referrals from very serious people that need medical care

Warm, friendly and very competent. Took time to explain the procedure and answered questions.

All I got from this Dr was a sorry, I can't help you, with no other explanation. I've been going to pain management for a few years, with several diagnoses, and nobody around here seems to want to say why they won't help me. I've never abused drugs and I've been doing injections. Ugh

I just called the office and spoke to a Morgan, explaining my condition of severe chronic pain. Asking her to give me a earlier appointed. Her answer was they all booked up until December 11 my schedule appointment. I asked to speak to a manager see by the name of Addie and she said the same thing to me No compaction again. I am going to go to Dr Mark Newman in my area my Neighbor to me about thi Clinic they don't treat the patient with respect and consideration.

Attempted to get radiation therapy which I normally would have through the VA but the appointments were booked out for months. I went to this doctor after the VA pushed me off campus all this doctor wanted to do was pump me with steroids which I already knew how bad the side effects were. After I said I wanted the radiation therapy treatments he said he wasn't going to do that until after trying the steroids first. I finally knew what it was about and that's money. First they will bill your insurance for worthless procedures that dont work to I'll your insurance then finally get to radiation treatment would be the final result Attempted to get radiation therapy which I normally would have through the VA but the appointments were booked out for months.

I found him willing to inject me with steroids for my chronic hip pain. He was pretty skillful at that, but he did not seem interested in anything but injections. As far as opioids, that’s BS. He said they don’t work for skeletal pain like worn out joints. His staff was rude as well. My hip was better for a couple of months, but when I asked for injections in my painful shoulders, he said he wouldn’t do it. Said it would not help. All I can conclude is that he wrote me off as a drug seeker, and didn’t care to help me. Anyone who says he pushes opioids is either nuts or lying. I’ve already had PT, OT, Bextra, Celebrex, and Naproxen. The only thing I haven’t tried is surgery. I’ve had all my major joints injected, and I don’t like the side effects of steroids. I got a bleeding ulcer from the NSAIDS. Celebrex & Bextra raises my BP to stroke levels. He’s good at what he does, but he didn’t do much for me.

Dr. Gajjar has been a good listener and manager of my Health problems since the day I met him. I can see where some would write bad reviews as this type of Dr. has to make good decisions on ones Health that a patient may not like. He is very good at his job and his staff has been more than helpful anytime I have needed it. I have had many years of Bad Healthcare professionals and this Dr. is on my top list of Great at what he does. Thank you to all that work at this office.

Dr. Gijjar and his staff are the very personifications of EXCELLENCE and PROFESSIONALISM. They are all very professional, efficient, and PATIENT, who exhibit consummate professionalism, unflagging "can-do" attitudes, and patience with often obnoxious people To those people who exploit the unfettered freedom of the internet to give one-star ratings and seek to diminish or destroy the fine and well-deserved reputations of Doctors and Medical support Teams such as Dr, Gijjars', I say: be an adult, stop whining and snivelling about administrative or issues pertaining to the contract you signed with Dr Gijjar when he decided to take you on as a patient, which is a selective process, Dr. Gijjar is dealing with HIGHLY ADDICTIVE drugs and is trusting, but verifying, that you are keeping up your end of the contract for your own health. MANY PEOPLE are seeking a Dr to supply their established drug habit, and Dr Gijjar will have no part of this. Be grateful he took you on as a patient.

Dr. Gajjar is excellent!!!

I saw Dr. Gajjar when he was a physician with Sentara. I have chronic pain due to rheumatoid arthritis. During each appt., he would increase or give me a stronger pain med until I was so over medicated I couldn't function with even small tasks. Yes, his staff counted my meds at each visit, but that was stated in the agreement you sign during your first appt., so that didn't bother me. I had 2 epidurals in my neck, of which both were very painful and caused more problems, including migraines

Secretary \ "nurse" was very unkind. Dr. G. Just pushed opioids.

Dr. Gajjar is a great Doctor and Pain Specialist. He treats you with the utmost respect and dignity. He listens to you and does everything he can to help improve your quality of life. I recommend Dr. Gajjar to anyone in need of a great Doctor/Pain Specialist to help you improve your pain and quality of life.

Dr. Gajjar is a good doctor however it’s sad that as a patient I have to sit and wait 30 to 40 min to see a Nurse practitioner and then spend 5 to 8 min with the doc.. wait over 6 weeks for a follow up after having a back surgery procedure done and after having my husband drive me over 45min up I-64 because of an unfortunate incident that was out of our control I arrived 2-3min late and Dr. Gajjar refused to see me!! Really 2/3min late and you will not see me after driving up to Williamsburg??

This doctor is very arrogant and unrespecfull. He try the patients like they were drug addict counting the medication that you have left. you feel intimidate and very bad because doctor and patient have to have a trust relation and he does not give you that trust. I will not recommend him to anyone.

The office staf are not very nice. one say something and others say other thing totaly opose. Imean there is no communication between their. I n the top of that they try people as drug adict counting the pain med they gave you. To me this is am offend and a no respectfull maner.

I was referred to Dr. Gahhar, after my first failed spinal fusion, Dr. Gahhar was compassionate, caring Knowledgeable and explain what he thought my treatment plan would start with. We tried it and it worked but needed some changing, Dr, Gahhar made some changes, I have been a patient since 2012 and I am ver pleased. My pain has never been completely gone but 3-7 days it's manageable. Dr. Gahhar, also never made me like it was in my mind and it was not as bad as a said. He listened and cares

Dr Gajjar gave me back my life as I knew it 10 years ago. I was unable to walk any distance without conciderable pain. He gave me an epidural and almost immediately I was without pain. He is my angel. I would highly recommend him.

Very arrogant. Released me as a patient after I tried to get a second opinion on his treatment recommendation. Shouldn't deal with patients, should work in a lab.
