This is an update to a prior review. Advanced Pain Care is located in Hobart, IN. I been going to this place for many months being promised pain relief, but was told it was a long process. Well the pain has not gotten any better but has gotten worse. Ive asked my doctor, dr. ring why I am in more pain since performing a procedure, but he wouldn't answer my questions. I have left messages for him both in person and by phone to no avail. I have chosen to find a new doctor so my husband recently went to his office and spoke to him because the office hasn't responded to a request for my records. My husband said Dr Ring immediately became condescending and controlling. As the conversation progressed my husband maintained his composure, but he said the doctor became ruder by the minute. Dr. Ring eventually threatened to call the police if my husband didn't leave as well as telling him he was trespassing and to never come back. Not wanting any trouble he did leave. We decided to do some research on him as a result of this experience. We found from online reviews and people we spoke to that he immediately resorts to calling the police and tells you that your trespassing if you question him in any way. He initially seems cordial so you get drawn in due to your pain, but months later you realize you're worse off and you get no relief, just promises. His staff is completely disorganized too and there seems to be constant turnover. I can see why since its a hostile environment to patients and likely for staff too. I looked at online reviews of him and his response to them is to tell his patients their reviews of him are self serving, then accuses them of being drug adicts. This is beyond appalling. He has also been investigated before and you can find that info if you do some research too. We have never seen anything close to resembling this mans behavior and he should be investigated, again. I am traumatized by my experience, still in chronic pain, and left wondering if the procedure he performed has left me with with permanent nerve damage. For those seeking relief from pain we understand how difficult it can be to find a doctor who can not only help, but one you can trust through the entire process. If you find a doctor in your search and sense something wrong on your first visit, leave and continue your quest, but don't lose faith. Please take this review seriously and do your research so what happend to us never happens to you.

It wouldn't get any stars if it was an option. The dude can't keep employees. I'd say about 90% of the time your seen 2 sometimes 3 hrs after your scheduled appointment. When he has good employees they're always gone the next visit. Don't know why I keep coming back.

Big fat ZERO. They were good at first. Then when the new year came and my co pays and deductibles reset and needed to be met. He wanted me to pay 800.00 and something. When I called my ins and they said no my copay is 35.00. He wanted me to pay my out of pocket before they would see me needles to say I have not gone back. When I called my ins company and they said all I had pay was 35.00 a visit and make payments on my out of pocket.
