Testimonials


Renee_Testimonial 2012_small

“After years of doctors prescribing me pills for my chronic back pain, I was finally sent to Dr. Tavel’s Office and it has been life changing! He showed me other alternatives to help with the pain such as a good back brace and a Tac Unit and a few shots in the lower spine. I also went from 5 pills a day to 1, plus my patch! He and his staff offered me hope for a better quality of life, and showed me that I no longer have to suffer in pain everyday of my life. (And no threat to being addicted to pain killers!) What an awesome, caring, informative office. Recommend them to anyone who felt like I did before seeing Dr. Tavel!”

“Everyone was very friendly and courteous. Looking forward to my next appointment!”

“Out of all the specialist I have Dr. Tavel’s staff by far exceeds all expectations of being professional and showing interest of the patient’s well being.”

“I was seeing a pain specialist in West Ashley and I was told there was nothing else she could do for me. I was beyond frustrated especially since I’ve been battling severe lower back pain since 1996. I heard good things about Dr. Tavel and wanted to see if he could do anything to help me. I am so happy to be seeing Dr. Tavel now and trying new things to help with my severe lower back pain. I would definitely refer anyone and everyone to him. Thank you for helping me. Keep up the good work and stay awesome.”

“I have suffered with chronic low back pain for as long as I can remember; seeing numerous doctors but not getting any relief. I was referred to Dr. E. Tavel by my primary care provider and I am so happy. I met with Dr. Tavel on my first visit and he is really nice and knows what he is doing. I was immediately sent for an MRI and a nerve study was done. Dr. Tavel performed my first injection on Tuesday, February 21st and the pain relief has been better than expected. Any amount of relief beats chronic pain!”

“I had my 2nd round of injections in my back to help relieve the pain from a bulging disc. I was in and out in less than an hour, no problem. Great service from start to finish.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Pain Specialist of Chas. They were quickly able to discover source of my pain and immediately begin treatment. Appointment times were spot on and in fact my treatment appt was avail 1 hour earlier than scheduled due to organized staff. Dr. Tavel was very thorough in his explanation of the condition and informatively comforting in outlining a treatment plan. I am happy to say I look forward to my next treatment appt and feeling back to normal soon. A big thank you to Dr. Tavel and his staff.”

What People Say About Us


Bill G.

I was in a car accident and went in for an MRI and went in recently for massage therapy. The massage therapist was the best I’ve had.

Topper H.

Went in after having a back injury from working out. Did a fantastic job explaining to me the underlying and residual issues and how that translated to what I was feeling in a day to day basis

Debbie S.

I absolutely LOVE this practice!!!! I have seen 4 different Doctors, for both pain and neurology, and I adore each and everyone of them! There was NOT one of them that didn’t treat me as a person, not a number.

Jo A.

I had two surgeries on my back for major crush injuries and degenerative disc problems and was referred. I almost felt like we were friends instead of just having a doctor-patient relationship. Very friendly, with a wonderful laid-back nature.
