Dr. Sheldon Gingerich, MD

I saw Dr Gingrich from 2011-2014 for chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease. As others have stated, Dr Gingrich is one of the kindest Dr's I have ever seen. He truly cares about people's pain. What we have today in the US is a lack of empathy for people truly in chronic pain. Especially IF you don't wear a suit or have 'alternative' hair styles/dress. (Thought THAT was over in 1970!) People with chronic pain are being discriminated against because SOME people use opiods NOT for pain. 8 yrs ago I stopped taking narcotic pain meds due to terrible side-effects (& berating from some Drs and staff). 8 yrs later- we are still 'moving in' our home. I cannot take anything but Tylnol (worthless) and Gabaptn (little help) for pain. I cannot do anything and wish I could find pain relief so I could get finished moving in. It would also be nice to 'get a life' as well as get out of the house, groceries, clean house, cook, go out with friends for a half hour. Wish I had Dr Gingrich now.

Dr,G Is the best pain Dr in Tucson. He listens to your questions and is able to give you a straight answer. He treats his patients with respect and not like a drug addict like some pain management drs or clinics do. He's a great man all around...if you can get him as your pain Dr consider your self very lucky...you won't find a better Dr to help you with your pain.... his staff Linda and Bonnie are also the nicest people.

Amazingly kind gentle man. Really works to help you and your pain management so that you can live your life.

Dr. Gingerich saw me when I could not find anyone for my pain. I had 3 people tell me he was awesome and the best. I have learned that is not always true. But with Dr. Gingerich it most certainly is. He asks where your pain is, he asks questions and he honestly listens and wants to hear your answers. His office staff Linda the receptionist and Bonnie his nurse are also A #1 First Class people and they treat you like they would want to be treated.
