"Dr. Ranson appears to be knowledgeable and have the experience as noted, however, his bedside manor is horrible. He talks about his personal experiences related to pain and his office looks like a cattle call. Very unprofessionally equipped and staffed with unprofessional MA Students, unprofessional assistants in dress and communication styles. He appears to over book patients and his waiting room at times looks like a "cattle Call". On several office visits, I've waited more than an hour and 20 minutes to be assessed and to discuss my reasons for being referred to his office. He appears to not recall the testing he referred me for and is unaware of what his office Staff have told me. I would not recommend his services. Very disappointed in his overall care and presentation."

"Dr. Ranson diagnosed Hyperanalgesia after being on high-dose opioids for seven years. He referred me to Dr. Carvel Jackson (who turned out to be an addiction specialist). Dr. Jackson claimed to be a chronic pain patient on Buprenorphine and accepted cash only (he prays on addicts) and sold me on trying Buprenorphine without the Naloxone, which he has been on for many years. I gave it a try. Needless to say, the Buprenorphine was totally ineffective. The only thing being on Buprenorphine did was raise a RED FLAG to the insurance companies. It made my Life Insurance company cancel my policy after paying it off for 30 years. Also. trying to find a decent Medicare policy was quite difficult. Now I have to spend thousands on an attorney to fight being labeled as an addict. Be very leary of Dr. Ranson"

"Dr Ranson is an excellent pain Dr. I've seen at least 8 - 10 pain Drs in the area and I would put Dr Ranson at the top of the list. Collaborative with me on all aspects of treatment plan. Very knowledgeable and openly shares his knowledge by explaining procedures to gain my approval prior to moving forward. He also shows genuine compassion in a very professional way. Always willing to listen to my concerns, answering all questions. Knows the area pain physician network, using that knowledge to refer me appropriately. A definite star in the valley's pain management world."

"I broke 8 vertebrae in a motorcycle crash. Dr. Ranson has applied a veritable arsenal of pain options in an effort to help me. From the standard pain meds, to facet ablation, trigger point injections and botox on the spine. No sorry, he won't apply the leftovers on my wrinkles but I tried. He's an outstanding physician and a very personable and professional caregiver. His tremendous background in pain management, coupled with his insight and creativity insures you get the help you need. He's reduced my chronic pain tremendously. "

"I am very impressed and have been and continue to be. . There is a different person to start my IV Heplock and they have never once missed, have never even caused me to bruise & I bruise easily. These are all GREAT people. Thank you. Candy"

"Very professional and kind. Felt he listened to my concerns. He's taking the conservative approach. I will definitely have the recommended spinal non-surgical procedure once my insurance covers it which should be the case after the first of the new year. I trust this doctor and would recommend him to anyone looking for relief as well as procedures you may have not heard of. "

"I can only commend the staff with the precautions they take to make sure we are following CDC guide lines. The girls in the front office are very welcoming and helpful. Chad explains in detail any questions you might have. As for the procedures that I have had, the staff also explain in detail what will be done and what to expect. I am very pleased with the whole office and Dr. Ranson. I would recommend this office to anyone who might need their services. "

"Everyone has been warm, friendly and compassionate. Whether they are scheduling an appt or explaining their site, there is not a whisper of irritation or excerbation, they are always courteous. I could not say enough, De Ranson, Chad, all the techs, RN’s, and the girls in the office, are all wonderful. Thank you."

"Recently relocated here from North Carolina where I was under going pain management for my back and knee. Dr Ranson and his staff were efficient, professional, caring and after my 1st visit, have eased some of my back pain. Looking forward to the next step in my back pain management with a team I have confidence in. "

"I have been a patient of Dr. Matthew Ranson's since March, 2019. Prior to that I had been under the care of another PM physician and a neurosurgeon, and underwent a neurosurgery that went terribly wrong and caused yet another condition that was unrelated to the reason for the original surgery. Both of those doctors were unable or unwilling to diagnose a horribly painful, extremely life-altering condition. Dr. Ranson diagnosed the condition within the 15 minutes of my first appointment. He recommended radiofrequency ablation, and with this procedure he has basically given me back my life. This condition had gone untreated for 1-1/2 years following my initial spinal surgery. Dr. Ranson is very professional personable, and always puts me at ease during the many necessary procedures I have undergone. His staff is always pleasant and efficient. My only regret is not becoming his patient in a more timely manner, which could have prevented some additional problems that he could have treated. ...

"Once again, my visit with Dr. Ranson and the entire staff was warm, friendly and caring. From the initial greeting to discharge everyone showed professionalism while keeping their focus on my personal needs. As a retired nurse I can truly state "this team is incredible!" Thanks for all you do."

"My pain-management needs over the past 13 years have been great. I have seen three previous pain specialists over that time, and Dr. Ranson has provided the better care of all of them. His understanding of pain and how to effectively treat it is the best I’ve seen! He runs a tight ship and he and his entire staff are very professional and pleasant and I hope he will be my doctor for years to come!"

"Dr. Ranson and his team were very professional, efficient and caring. I’ve worked in the pain management industry for many years so being a patient was a new experience. Chad the NP was knowledgeable and communicated well. The front desk and scheduling have been great. The whole process on procedure day was a well oiled machine, yet I felt cared for not rushed. And, icing on the cake, I got great relief of my chronic low back pain. "
