- Burns from a grafting procedure
- Organ damage
- Nerve damage
- Tissue damage
At Pain Zero, our pain care specialists will prescribe a personalized pain management plan after gathering more information about the type of pain you're experiencing and the location of the pain. We also will ask about the severity of the pain, the duration of the pain, and whether it prohibits you from performing daily functions. Our team recommends you seek medical attention immediately if pain symptoms are severe enough to cause:
- Confusion
- High fever
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Unbearable pain that makes you lethargic

Post-Surgical Pain Reviews
This is my first visit it went pretty good I felt relaxed with them and it seemed like he truly really wanted to help me to get my pain in order and I'm looking forward to my next visit till I see I can see where we go next on handling my pain shook my hand very polite very good doctor
The injections that were performed on my back did the trick. I was pain free when I walked out of the office. It’s still early ( 5 hrs so far ) but my back feels good. The last injection I had was back in early November so almost 4 months of pain free relief, but started stiffening up in April so I got the injections and now feeling good, takes about 5 days to kick in . I have been seeing Dr Harris for about 3 years. When we did the lower back injections ( 4 discs ) with a large needle and after I got up off of the table I didn’t know how to act, it ( back ) felt great , still did things with caution but soon forgot about watching what I did. Was doing some hard labor ( laying and breaking up concrete ) but only felt some muscle aches but no back pains like I had. What a relief it was!! Dr Marcus Harris did what 5 back doctors couldn’t do the last 23 yrs. All those doctors did for me was to make me comfortable by giving me medication to treat my pain, Dr Harris treated the problem, my back and gave me months of relief, so glad he came into my life at a very difficult time.
Very nice, I felt comfortable with him.Professional. Was not a long wait. No pain from proceedure.
Nice work so far, haven’t had a problem with the staff or medication they prescribed, been pretty good experience so far, the only problem I had was when they did the back injection, had some pain from that but was taking care of
Dr. Marcus Harris, Very Professional, Compassionate, Pleasant, Respectful, Informative, Attentive, Remarkable Sense of humor, show concern for my over all health and I must add with all due respect, Dr. Harris is a Handsome Doctor too lol. I feel Dr. Marcus Harris is an expert in his treatment in managing and minimizing my pain. I'm very grateful I'm under his care and I appreciate the goals he have set for me. My Chronic Pain have improved with his valuable treatment plan. All the staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. Pain Zero in Grove City is a clean environment. Dr. Marcus Harris is a man of action in his treatment plan and I like the fact that he set goals for me to get better. When my pain level gets high, Dr. Marcus Harris finds a way to make me laugh and be encourage and I'm grateful for that too.
