While waiting in self pity to see Dr. Gorfine, I sat around and let my 5’ 7” frame grow to 240 lbs. and a size 44” pants. Before being hit by a car I had a career, a house and was a body builder with hopes of competing by the time I reached 50 years of age. In January of 2006, I decided to try Dr. Gorfine’s traditional methods of medicine, but had no real hope. Now 3 months later, because of Dr. Gorfine and his staff, I am no longer that 240 lb. pitiful shell of a man that first entered this office. I am now back in the gym, less than 200 lbs., 50” chest, 16” biceps and waist of 36”! Because of Dr. Gorfine, I will now one day be able to reach my goal of winning a body-building championship! I was touched by the way Dr. Gorfine spoke to me and appreciate what he did for me “I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM...
Sincerely,
Jeffrey H.

Dr. Gorfine and his staff literally gave me my life back. I started seeing Dr. Gorfine in 1994. I had terrible spasms and neuropathic pain. I learned and appreciated the fact that Dr. Gorfine believes in the Hippocratic Oath, especially, “do no harm”. He starts with the least invasive procedure and proceeds from there. I had already an electronic implanted pump to manage my spasms and pain, but it did not work. Dr. Gorfine revised it and I have a new lease on life.   I am happily looking forward to events in my future. Dr. Gorfine and his great staff will put themselves out to go the extra mile for their patients. They are warm and caring and very interested in improving the lifestyle of everyone they see. I would recommend this practice to anyone whose life has been altered by chronic pain. They are GREAT!

The care and kindness I have received from Dr. Douglas MacLear and all the staff at Palm Beach Spine & Pain Institute far exceeds any medical facility I have ever been involved with. We all fear the unknown but Dr. MacLear, with his knowledge and gentle manner take that fear away. I no longer live in pain thanks to them. All the staff, nurses, techs and even the finance department are like a big happy family and that’s how they treat their patients.

I cannot thank Dr. MacLear enough for the relief I am experiencing in what had been an extremely painful arm. Each time that I would use it, I literally grimaced from pain. I am constantly awed by your diagnosis and the prescribed protocol that helps me again and again. Thank You, Thank You, and once again Thank You!
Your Very Grateful Patient,

Dr. Lawrence Gorfine and his staff at the Palm Beach Spine and Pain Institute have made the quality of my life physically and emotionally the best that I could have ever wanted.
Dr Gorfine, through his medical expertise, was able to pinpoint the source of my debilitating pain.  His knowledge medically gave me hope and strength that I would return to a normal life and a normal level of physical activity, which I have.  Dr. Gorfine’s staff reassured me with their concern and care. They were caring, supportive and friendly.  Dr. Gorfine and staff have given me the return to the life that I wanted:  a “new” energetic life.

For many months I suffered with pain in my groin, my legs and back.  I spoke to my Primary Physician who suggested I visit Dr. Gorfine.  An examination revealed the problems in my back which was causing my discomfort. Dr Gorfine recommended a series of treatments which he performed. These treatments gave a great deal of relief which allowed me to continue my activities in a relatively pain free environment. I am convinced that Dr. Gorfine is very qualified in the field of pain management and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to friends, family and acquaintances.

I have found the entire staff to be very compassionate and competent in alleviating the pains which I experienced during a terrible case of the shingles.

After experiencing severe pain and inability to walk or get up out of a chair without  unbelievable pain, I was recommended to the Palm Beach Spine & Pain Institute.  Both physicians were so very caring. They employed new medical therapies, patience and kindness over a period of time.  I find myself so improved.  I can get up, walk rather well, sleep better and I am truly grateful to these doctors and the water therapy they have recommended. They have all been so caring and I thank each and everyone; nurses and all staff.

I have received “wonderful” care from Dr. Gorfine and his staff.  Dr Gorfine is a “wonderful” doctor and a very kind man.  He takes time with me when I am in his office for an appointment.  He has always done his very best to keep me pain free.  I am so fortunate to have such a “fine” and “caring” man for my doctor.

I have had many epidural treatments with cortisone and the pain relief was only short lived. Dr Gorfine suggested and gave me radiofrequency treatments.  The pain relief from these treatments was much more effective and the pain relief lasted much longer.

After many weeks of going to a chiropractor for bad back pain, I went to see an orthopedic doctor. He sent me to therapy.  After weeks of that, he sent me to get a CAT-scan. After seeing the reports, he said I should go see Dr. Douglas MacLear.  He was the most caring doctor and told me that he believed some shots would help.  After two series of shots I am pain free.  I would recommend Dr. MacLear to everyone who has pain.  His office staff truly cares about you.
