Dr Lesley is Amazing!! Shes kind, caring, & listens. I absolutely loved meeting her.
This place is amazing and the best Pain Clinic I’ve ever been to! The staff is incredible! And Lesley Newell is the best!!!! Having 17 spine surgeries I’ve had a lot of nerve damage and neurological junk going on with my legs and arms that I’ve dealt with for several years that nobody could seem to help with. After my visit with Leslie Newell, she solved that for me and I am just amazed that this lady knew exactly what to do to help me and now I haven’t dealt with that neurological issue now for a little over a month. She is amazing! And if any of the Pain Zero staff sees this, please relay this to Lesley! She is a godsend! 🙏🏼
