ADVANCED PAIN MANAGEMENT CLINIC, LLC
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

Unfortunately nowadays, it is too common that being a doctor has moved away from these traditional values and has become a business. Both doctors and patients long to have the kind of relationships and care which has been eroded out of medicine due to “managed care” and “socialized medicine.” His mission in forming The Advanced Pain Management Clinic was to return to these time honored principles and to return to actually practicing the art of medicine. With this in mind, he studied Psychology, Philosophy, Ethics, and the Pre-Medical Sciences at Michigan State University. It was at this time that he was exposed to the similarities between Quantum Physics and the Eastern Philosophies. One of the essential principles of these very different disciplines was the duality of energy and matter: of the spirit and the body. The desire to apply this knowledge would become an important part of his interest to use . MSU COM is one of the best programs in the country for Biomechanics; Medicine; and Osteopathic Manual Medicine. It was there that he learned the holistic philosophy and the practical skills of Osteopathic Medicine that are ideal for the treatment of Pain. These beautiful words express her heart and character. She has immeasurably helped shaped our practice to make it more of a home than a clinic. She is a pleasure to have as part of our wonderful team. As a chiropractor I've had the occasion to refer to you my patients for help with their pain. It wasn't until my own severe back pain that wouldn't get better with chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and other natural remedies that I consulted you for help. I was really at my wits end. Having referred patients of my own with pain to you is one thing, but actually experiencing the pain myself was very different. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you've done to help me and allow me to see the great work you do. God bless you. If you have pain and live in Jacksonville, FL - this caring, professional, thoughtful doctor will do his absolute best to help ease your pain! I am not easily impressed, but the doc really cares about his patients and really loves his work. When was the last time a doc said, "I have the best job in the world, ....". I have NEVER had a pain management dr. as kind, sensitive, understanding, patient, dedicated, caring, optimistic AND with a great personality and sense of humor to boot as Dr. Willens!! It's a relief to know that my health and pain issues are in the best of hands along with Almighty God! Having the both of (T)them taking care of me, I KNOW I'm gonna' be better than O.K.!!!! Plus, he has a TOP-NOTCH staff that are just as wonderfully genuine as Dr. Willens. Every time I go for my visits, joy and laughter permeate the building from everyone "whistling while they work" together making you feel extra special and cared about. After any procedures I have done, I always get a follow-up phone call within a day or two to check on my progress. I have NEVER had a dr.'s office do this for me in the past!!!! Dr. Willens and his staff are without a doubt ten steps above the rest as well as a God-send!!!!! Words will never be able to describe how much you all have meant to me & my daughter. The kindness, care & concern you've shown her in the past couple of years is all a mother could of asked for. She's had her ups & downs but in the long run, I think she's improved thanks to you. Although she'll never be healed completely, she at least found someone who would actually listen to her, saw that her pain was real and treated her as a person. You looked beyond a lot of stuff & saw her heart. To everyone there, thank you, especially Dr. Willens! Without you, she wouldn't have had a great doctor to treat her. To Melissa, I'm sending you a very special hug & big thank you! You're an amazing person with a beautiful soul who was kind enough to help take care of my girl when I couldn't be there. We are going to miss seeing you all every month! I doubt we'll find anyone better than you guys! God bless you all & take care!! I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Willens and staff. After years of suffering with lower back pain from a fall injury when I was 18 years old, my condition was worsening with age and complications. I had been to many, “spine clinics” and due to their size, the care was impersonal and not very effective. It was minimal care for what I considered a complex, chain of reactions my body suffers – stemming from the initial injury. Pain changes over time and no new treatment options were being offered. My MRI’s still looked the same but there were new aches and sensations I knew I needed help with. When I first met Dr. Willens, he not only diagnosed my new, advanced condition of pain correctly, he treated my emotional state with compassion and dignity. He treated me with a new procedure, I had never been offered before. My pain level improved so dramatically, I felt hope again for the first time in years. Hope that my pain could be controlled instead of it controlling me. I have been treated by Advanced Pain Management, ever since and I recommend them to everyone who lives with pain. Dr. Willens understands and treats chronic pain in a way I like to call, “whole healing.” By healing the pain condition of the body, he heals the mind & soul – the whole person emerges, healthier, stronger and renewed.
