I found Dr. Dasgupta and all of the staff very compassionate. My pain was greatly relieved with only 2 injections. My life has changed. Thank you!

Catherine Domres

I am very happy here since December 2012 with Dr Dasgupta and the staff is also great. I receive excellent care and would recommend to everyone.

I've had knee injections before for OA but Premier Pain is the leader in patient care in this regard. Very thorough pre-injection patient screening and during the procedure I was given the utmost consideration in a clinical setting. Staff and doctors are prudent and have the highest standards for patient wellness and safety. I am glad to say these injections were almost pain-free and administered with minimal discomfort. I look forward to my future appointments with Premier Pain & Spine to alleviate my knee pain!

Jordann S

From the initial phone contact with Brittany, who is an absolute pleasure to work with to my first appointment I have to say that everyone here is kind, friendly and professional. My consultation was amazing, Dr. Omar Said put me at ease and left the office with a plan. I am extremely fussy regarding my health care and didn't know what to expect. I am looking forward to working with Premier Pain to resolve the issues. I hope Premier doesn't change a thing about how the company is run because it's working extremely well in my opinion!

David Gregory

So glad I went here. I had severe chronic pain in my lower back. Turns out I have Spinal Stenosis a moderate case. Dr Dasgupta performed an epidural steroid injection in lumbar and SI joint areas. Now there is no pain. It has been 6 months. If you have pain anywhere, I strongly recommend Premier Pain and Spine

Edward Walter

The Schaumburg staff is always friendly, patient and helpful. The treatments are well done on an as needed basis.

Patricia Tischler

This is a very professional and caring practice. They have helped me so much with the painful effects of a recent auto accident. They are not a "Pill Mill". They are conservative with their medications but are also sure that they prescribe enough to make life bearable. They have performed many procedures on me, all of which greatly reduced my pain even if just for a few months. The latest procedures were pinch point injections which have lasted many months.

Walter Saraniecki

This is my second trip for trigger point injections. The visits, so far, have been quick, painless, and effective. Staff have been thorough, friendly, and informative. So grateful to have found PP&S. Highly recommend.

Humble Tiffani

I have been a patient with PPS and so was my Mom the doctors we saw were compassionate, thorough and always took the time needed to explain procedures. I personally had care from three physicians and they truly care about your quality of life.

Carrie B Hartzler

They are truly amazing! The staff is super friendly and attentive and Dr. Arpan Patel is amazing! He’s very caring and friendly. I highly recommend them for your pain needs!

Nicole D.

Been going to them for 3 years for neck and arm and upper spine pain. I see Dr Arpan Patel who is the head of the group. Extremely knowledgeable, great bedside manner, and offer the latest options in pain management beyond pills. Highly recommend 2 locations Schaumbugh and downers grove. I live in south Elgin and I gladly drive either locale if I know pain relief is possible!

I am a 62 year old man who has been afflicted with lower back disease for many years. I have had surgery, many injections, physical therapy, etc. I have been a patient of neurosurgeons and a pain specialist in the Northshore. I was in such pain that I had practically given up, until I was referred to Dr. Patel. I phoned him and was seen immediately. He reviewed my MRI and assessed my overall situation, recommending a radio frequency nerve ablation.It has now been completed and I am hopeful that my pain level will be significantly reduced. What I gained was the confidence of dealing with a loving, caring, kind an sensitive physician. The office staff is outstanding, accessible, professional and displays a unique human dimension. They are patient, kind, and caring. I am now in great hands, and would recommend this firm to anyone. The physicians have the latest training, and the firm knows the most current state of the art cutting edge solutions to resolving pain.

Avrom Fox

Today I visited PPS for the first time and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care I received. From the moment you walk in the office, you are greeted by kind and caring staff. Then I met Dr. Amish Patel. He spent a lot of time consulting and examing me; I never felt rushed! He was extremely attentive to my needs, pain and care. I wish all doctors were as caring and as attentive as he was. I will definitely recommend him!

Barbara Mickel-Buckley

I am so glad a friend referred me. My pain is more under control. Docs & staff are great.

Cindy McNamara

The entire staff was 5 star exceptional & took the time to discuss my problem and the procedure I was about to experience. The injection itself was painless & I was very comfortable during the entire procedure. My nurse told me the most pain I would feel, was her having to insert an IV as I elected for mild sedation. She was 120% correct. My fear was quickly removed. So if any one who reads this that has anxiety and nervous about this type of procedure, you have nothing fear. You will be in excellent hands with Dr. Amish Patel. Thank you Doctor for your time and making me comfortable.

Gary Davison

Very professional and a lot of fun to deal with. Keep doing what you are doing.

Leonard F. Koziol

I just started a course of pain relief treatments under the direction of an exceptional pain management Physician Dr, Omar Said in the MacNeal pain center. I like to take the opportunity to express my overwhelming praise for this great doctor, let me first say that I'm an elderly gentleman that is extremely scared and frightened of doctors. Under the advice of an overwhelming recommendation of my wife and disabled son. Dr. Said is it compassion thorough detail caring and sympathetic and very knowledgeable and explain things thoroughly prior to the procedure to make sure you entirely understanding prior and during the process to make you feel Very comfortable. Postop and after care is exceptionally detailed and thorough I felt like this Doctor helps you feel no pain before during and after your procedure. Dr. Omar Said is an extremely gifted medical professional with a superior awesome bedside manner. I with no doubt and hesitation give him five platinum stars. He takes the pain out of pain that seems like an oxymoron but it's completely true. Thank you!

I have been driving over an hour each way to the Schaumburg location for a few years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Not only is the staff amazing so are the doctors!!! They listen to your pains and don't ever make you feel your issues are in your head. Love them!!!

Tammy Bush- Marriner-Pugh

This place is always great! The team and Dr. D always do a good job and they want to make sure they help you as much as possible. Would definitely recommend if you’re having trouble and need to manage pain.

Mary Beth Thede

Thank you Dr. D and staff for all your care and help over the past year. Last September I could barely move because of the horrible pain in my lower back and left leg. The pain was so bad I was forced to sleep sitting up! Dr. Dasgupta did three procedures on my lower back. I can honestly say I am well on the way to recovery. I would recommend PPS to everyone!

Patricia P

I'm typing for my mom, Marie Scaccianoce she's been a patient for years mom says that the staff and doctors are the kindest, caring and empathetic group of people she has ever met, the doctors listen to her and work with her to find a solution for her pain and suffering. Mom says God bless them all.

Premier is the best medical facility I’ve ever been to. (I’ve been to too many.)

Kathy D.

I am writing to let you know that I am very pleased with the services you provide. I have been struggling with back pain for well over ten years. I have seen a countless number of doctors, and I was always given the push off with Physical therapy, medication, and rest. In receiving the Epidural shot series, as well as the nerve burn it has decreased a good portion of the pain in my upper back. I will continue to see you and your team for my back and any other services I would benefit that I need, and your team provides. I want to give a huge thank you to you, your Physican Assistants, and as well as the team in the procedure room for the excellent bed side manner, empathy, and professional etiquette. Your medical team does an excellent job addressing the needs of the individual, through active listening to make sure the can provide accurate service. I also want to thank you front desk staff and other staff for providing outstanding customer service, and empathetic listening ear to my needs, multi-tasking and assisting others. I will continue to recommend your services to those who need them because of the wonderful experience I have had and continue to have.

Joseph Roberts

So excited to have found you! I have been suffering from chronic low back pain for most of my life. Was told another surgery was the only option. Had my first epidural injection yesterday and already feel 80% better than I have in years. Dr. Arpan Patel and staff were awesome! Where have you been all my life?

Cheryl Craig

Dr. Amish Patel and all of the staff are great and really listen to you as patient. They are kind and provide a calm and friendly atmosphere which is helpful for when you feel like crap. They work with you in deciding what treatment would work best for you. I would definitely recommend.

Dr. Arpan Patel was very informative and reassuring about the procedure.

Karen McQuillen

I cannot say enough about the front desk staff and Dr. Siad. What amazing people from start to finish. My husband had dealt with back pain for 11 years. Dr. Siad was the ONLY doctor who was able to help him and who took my husband's pain seriously. My husband's pain level is down to a 2 from an 9. I highly recommend this office and it's staff and doctor's.

Premier Pain and Spine has remarkable doctors who are very compassionate and dedicated to improving the lifestyle and health of their patients. The staff is very professional and caring too.

I highly recommend them for safe non surgical procedures to repair the pain that many people suffer with!

I've had injections for lower back pain before, but , it wasn't until I found Dr. Said at the Downers Grove location that I actually got some relief AND I didn't even need any anesthesia! I never felt the injection! PPS really knows their stuff!!

Sue S

The staff is wonderful..just can't say enough about them!! Dr Dasgupta is the best. Listens.. takes time to answer your questions..gentle..so very knowledgeable always professional just a great Dr. I have recommended many people to him.

Marie Castiglione Gregory

Today I saw Jennifer. She's professional, friendly, and compassionate = Awesome! The people here, every one of them) could not get any better!

R Iverson-Brown

Both my husband and I were EXTREMELY pleased with Dr. Patel and the amount of time and patience he spent with us answering our questions. After multiple referrals to other physicians, CT scans, MRIs, medications,etc, it is finally nice to have someone listen for a chance and realize that my symptoms are real and I am not going crazy. 20+ years of the nursing field has taken its toll on my body and I don’t want to spend it the rest being miserable. Thank you Dr. Patel!!

Robin G.

Wonderful, friendly, and caring staff as well as the doctors.

April Haynes

Dr Dasgupta is one of the most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and his bedside manner is awesome!! He also works with some really lovely staff, the girls are always extremely pleasant and accommodating. Love this place and the people.

Jackie C.

Have been going to different pain management doctors in both Chicago and Kansas City. Dr. Patel has provided the best care I have had to date! As a group, they gently started to ween me off of some of the most powerful and addictive pain medicine! After more then 2 years, they have found the perfect balance between natural and prescription! Medical Cannabis combined with a single pain patch I wear daily has allowed me to stop taking pain pills all together! I love there approach to finding different solutions to pain! This is the happiest and most pain free I have felt since 2011!

Liam Bowman

I went to Dr. Dasgupta with excruciating pain in my lower back. After the meeting he had me go for an MRI. Next meeting we made an appt for an epidural. It worked great for almost a year. I got another one and worked also. When upper back got bad and he looked at that MRI, he told me he could not do anything until I saw a surgeon first. I did and was told that if he would have given me the epidural it would have been very, very bad. I trust him 100%. I believe he really cares and knows what he is doing.

Posted 3/2015 on Vitals.com

Dr. Said and his staff are extremely professional, kind, and caring. They listen to the patient to help find a solution to your suffering. Highly Highly recommended. My story: I had gone to several back specialist Northwestern and Rush. Both confirmed I have a disc problem and both prescribed physical therapy/PT after taking an MRI. PT did almost nothing for my back the pain was so bad some days I could hardly get out of bed. Went back to Northwestern and they said I was not a candidate for back surgery and If I wanted it they could not guarantee it would work. I ended up see Dr. Omar Said through the recommendation of my mother. Dr. Said mentioned that he could administer a shot in my back to elevate the pain and possibly strengthen the problem with the disc. Over the course of 2 years I initially was getting 1 shot every 4 months after 3 shots it was once every 6 months then I thought I may not need another shot till I was hit by a 17 year old kid and rolled my car for the second time. The first accidental rollover was caused by black ice. I am now receiving shots once every 4-5 month but they are helping again. No other doctor ever mentioned shot before Dr. Said. I am forever thankful. I am able to stay active maybe not as much as I would like but I am not bed ridden. I able to work, fish, kayak, and do other multiple actives I know my limits I don't always respect my limits but at least I am able to enjoy life again.

They are the best! Always on time and always friendly. They work with my schedule.

I've been managing severe back and neck pain for nearly ten years, while trying to retain my quality of active life. I find Dr Dasgupta and the whole staff here to be compassionate, fair and efficient. When dealing with chronic pain, it's as important to work with someone who makes sure you don't abuse medicine as it is to attain pain relief. I trust this place for both. I still live in pain, but thanks to Premier it doesn't rule or ruin my life.

Kim Reynolds

These people are incredible. I saw Dr Dasgupta, following a recommendation from a friend. He is knowledgeable and courteous and extremely professional. Within a day the pain I had in my neck from a herniated disc, that I had dealt with for months, had gone. I thoroughly recommend them. The staff are wonderful.

Abigail A.

I have already told a friend of mine to call Dr.Arpen Patel.She also has back problems. I really like him,he is very caring to his patients,and takes care of you. He's very honest,and says it like it is. I won't go to anyone else. The nurses are super also.

Carol Gray

Premier Pain has an awesome staff who cares about you. They listen to you the patient and help you as best as possible. Love my Dr. Dasgupta!

I feel that the staff listen to my concerns regarding pain control and treatment options. I only wish that Dr.Dasgupta had more hours available at the Schaumburg office.

Beatrice B

Best Dr I have had in over 15 years. I owe Dr. Arpan Patel for getting me to the point where I can at least function some. Before I went there I could barely walk and my leg would shake so much that I would fall over. My back and SI joints were in excruciating pain as well. I still have pain today but nothing like it was before I saw him. Thank you and your wonderful staff for helping to get me better and always being kind and helpful.

Jeffery McMillan

I am a Patient of Dr. Said, I have been seeing him ongoing for right knee pain that is a ongoing problem of many that I have including severe Parkinson’s Disease That complicates matters even more, needlessly saying I see a multitude of doctors who never received a complement from me . Dr. Said takes the word pain out of your experience by offering you himself a humble,caring, overwhelmingly compassion and extremely knowledgeable any procedure he provides to you by explaining step by step in common “ understanding terminology “ which makes you feel at ease prior to your Procedure and during your procedure he keeps you well informed. His attention to detail is simply impeccable and exceptional . Dr. Said is worth an opportunity to serve you, I personally recommended a good friend of mine to see him and she said “ He is fantastic I never knew you would receive and injection into my knee by a Guided catheter inserted Into my knee and then given a shot in my knee and feel great “ Dr. Said is now my pain management specialist anybody I can give you an injection into your body parts blindly. But a skilled truly professionl Dedicated and compassion and Doctor will always make a healing and meaningful relationship with his patients . Thank you Dr. Said and your wonderful team at the Berwyn pain center

Working with Premier Pain & Spine was amazing. Due to the number of clinics and flexibility in scheduling, they're quick to book last minute appointments when they're most necessary.
