I have been seeing Mr. Shore and Ms. Lahm for over 3years. I have had several procedures over that time. I was ALWAYS treated with Respect and Dignity. This Whole Office Care deeply for their clients. I would not want to go anywhere else for my Multiple Painful Conditions.They can be a bit hard to call on occasion,but I always talk with whomever I need to within 24 Hours.From Dr. Fiks to Any one of The Other Physicians I feel Confident that I will always be treated almost like family. I would recommend them for Chronic Pain care, acute pain, injections and a Wide Variety of other Procedures as needed.

My interaction with Advanced Pain Management Center has been awesome. I was finally down to the pain amount that I can deal with every day which I waited many years to find someone that could make that happen. The people there are wonderful and kind and I would refer my family there if they needed it.
Their help was what gave me my life back

This office is working as hard as they possibly can being a bit understaffed dr wise. My appointment was not as timely as they normally are, the staff are very considerate and let me know immediately what to expect. When I had my time with Dr Fix he wasn’t rushed and even asked a few very pertinent questions about my back pain and listened enough to decide I needed some testing. He ordered an MRI which was approved by my insurance before I left his office. I received a call same afternoon from the scheduling office for MRI. So I’m saying even down one doctor they didn’t rush I felt it was the same high quality I have come to expect from this clinic for the last two years.

I have been a patient of Mr. Shore and Dr. Fiks for several years. I find them both to listen to my issues and work with me to find a solution that works best for my body and specific health concerns. Mr. Shore is always friendly and willing to adjust medications as he sees necessary. Thank you

Dr. Fiks took over my care and was very nice to talk with. He heard my concerns and scheduled a procedure for the very next day. I’m waiting for the time frame to be over to see if it was successful. I’m very impressed with the assistants in the surgical suite. Thank you!!

Visit w/Dr. Fiks was short yet thoroughly covered past and present. Over the years, I've been seen by everyone there. All are very knowledgeable, considerate, and patient - so the person gets plenty of time to describe their situation. I never get the feeling that the clock starts when the PA or doctor enters the room.

Excellent care. As a patient advocate, I have a pretty strong personality and didn't want to turn anyone off. What I found was exceptional support.. Very kind and brilliant physicians and a great staff.
It’s an honor to be a patient here. The staff is incredible and both Dr Fiks and Dr. Shmidt “get me”

After three years of seeing my PCP, Phiscial Therapists, various Orthopedic Specialists, Acupuncturists, and Pain Management Doctors with no clear diagnosis of why I was in so much pain, I was finally referred to Dr. Fiks at Advanced Pain Management Center. Dr. Fiks ordered the correct diagnostic imaging and was able to pinpoint the source of my pain and determine I needed a surgery. After my insurance company initially denied the surgery, Dr. Fiks took the time to have a call with BCBS and get my surgery approved. I highly recommend Advanced Pain Management Center and Dr. Fiks, especially if you're feeling not understood or simply not listened to by your primary care team. The entire staff at APMC actually care about getting you back to a pain-free life.

I just finished my first visit at Advanced Pain and I am so very impressed! From the front desk, to the nurses administering tests, to meeting with the doctor and then leaving the office EVERYTHING WAS DIFFERENT!!! This was the most caring and thoughtful medical experience I have ever had! (...and I have had 14 surgeries in the past 5 years so I know!)

APM has given me my life back to me. The examinations, tests combined with the experience of the staff zeroed in on the cause of my pain. With that, a treatment plan was put into place that minimized the negative effects pain had on me and my life. They are compassionate yet keep it real. I am forever grateful for the medical care I have received there.

My provider, in particular, is caring and listens well. She tries her best on my behalf. The professional staff has a long history of employment at the clinic, which I think speaks volumes.
