Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best pain management physician period
I've had many pain management physicians due to a terrible back and Dr. Sigfried was the best at relieving the pain. Best ablations performance with the best pain relief. I was terribly sad the day he moved from PA to WI as there have been none since him that have given me the level of relief he gave me. Eventually I did have surgeries, one that he suggested I would need and got almost total relief. If you're his patient count your blessings.

I have been a patient of Doctor Siegfried for a number of years now. He has a warm,friendly manner about him. I have suffered from a number of problems with a herniated disc being the worst of them. Whether it requires his very knowledgeable advice or a cortisone injection, he always knows what to do or say. I would gladly recommend him to anyone requiring his services.

I would definitely recommend the Doctor. He is empathetic and a great listener. I had a steroid shot and he made it easy and "almost" painless. I found him and his solution a good fit for my condition.

Not only was his staff horrible but he was annoyed I brought my child to the appointment. I have had a back injury and he wouldn't help w pain relief because I was recently prescribed cough medicine for bronchitis and an anti anxiety drug in the past for anxiety. He was rude and unethical. W a back injury my daugher dropped something and didn't even offer to pick it up off the floor. Please do not go to his practice. He is a horrible doctor.

I saw Dr. Siegfried for over two years. In that time I never received a bill, I was told over and over again that they would accept what the insurance company paid.After becoming unhappy with my care, I stopped going to Dr. Siegfried. Soon after I received a bill. I called to inquire, I was told don't worry, we will take care of it, next thing I know I'm in collections
