i have been dr. kirsteins' patient for several years now, and have found his conservative approach in prescribing opiods to be spot on. you do NOT want to be addicted to these things, folks. they are nothing to sneeze at. if you are prescribed them, he will work with you to make sure you are taking the prescribed amounts, and not more. he is also very nice, and diagnosed my fibromyalgia and has also given me medication for that as well. if you truly need help, he will help you.

I "was" a new patient at the Center for Pain and Rehabilitative Medicine, there I was assigned Dr. Andrew Kirsteins. He did a quick look through my medical file, not hearing a word I said about my pain, which greatly effects all aspects of my life. After glancing through my files told me there was nothing he could do to help and left with out giving me any advice as to what I could do to relieve the pain. So, those of you who are thinking about seeing or was told to see Andrew Kirsteins, MD, FAAPMR at The Center for Pain and Rehabilitative Medicine, I strongly advice you to seek another doctor, unless you have time and money to waste.
