After enduring recurring debilitating back pain for a decade and never getting a clear dx or plan, Dr Michaud solved my problem in literally one consultation. Nothing short of miraculous to be listened to and given a new lease on life pain free!

February 17, 2023Andrew S.Verified patient
Everyone genuinely wanted to help me and was very nice. Dr. Richaud seems quite experienced and knowledgeable. However, he's super personable and rushed through our appointment.

Dr Michaud really listens to a person's concerns. Doesn't just increase your pain meds but comes up with other ways to reduce pain.
March 23, 2022Rebecca F.Verified patient
Dr. Michaud takes time to review test results with you and then works with you to create a treatment plan. He involves other specialities such as physical therapy to treat your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
February 24, 2022Thomas S.Verified patient
The doctor rushed through my appointment, barely spoke with me. Didn't get down to the route of the problem. Didn't ask me questions. I was still trying to ask him questions as he rushed out the door. He tried to give me injectable medication that I couldn't have due to my other condition and I had to remind him. the staff were friendly but when I told the nurse about my costochondritis she didn't even know what that was. I'm really trying to give the doctor the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he was rushed since I'm a new patient and fairly young but I still feel like I should have been given more time and thought.

Dr Ryan was efficient, kind and explained everything in detail. He made sure I understood all the instructions before he left. I felt confident in his recommendations. Besides he is just a nice guy!
December 30, 2021Josephine K.Verified patient
The Dr and the office where great. ZocDoc glitches and requests me to call. When I call they can’t see it at the actual Dr office. I believe this is an error with ZocDoc itself not the Dr office.
November 18, 2021Megan W.Verified patient
Very professional and friendly staff. The doctor was clear and concise. He came up with a game plan on my first appointment. He was kind and took my pain seriously.
November 2, 2021Melinda J.Verified patient
I think all of these answers are correct along with his professionalism and a strong belief in that I will get well with his treatment and diagnosis. Dr. Ryan as he likes to be called was straight forward, very attentive to my needs and left me with the feeling that this slight pain/ache would go away with his intervention to get me well. I would seek him again and again in a New York minute he really is a great doctor. Thank you Dr. Michaud for all your hard work.

He's smart and straight to the point. He looked at me and my history and came to the same conclusion that my previous doctor in NC had come to. That's a good thing. He addressed my immediate pain and scheduled a more lasting procedure. I like him a lot.

November 26, 2019Teresa B.Verified patient
I was recommended to Dr Michaud from my neurologist. He is great and knowledgeable. He doesn’t want to just give people pain medications but instead fix the problem and that makes a huge difference. I would recommend him to anyone!
November 20, 2017Shelby D.Verified patient
I have always been treated with the utmost care from the most of the staff at Advanced Pain Care. Everyone that works there seems to really care about the patient. I'd rather pay out of pocket, out of network than to go any where else. Thank you for 7 years of service. Tried others but always end up coming back home to Advanced Pain Care office.
