I couldn't disagree more

by CarrieM

Dr. Ximenes PA, Nancy Benzel, is the most unprofessional medical employee I have ever encountered. As long as you purchase their vitamins and potions, you'll be in good standing. If you don't respond to their treatment, they will drop you as a patient. Check out the postings on rate your doctor. Bad news.

Excellent, excellent, medical care.

After several years of suffering from chronic lower back pain that left me nearly immobile at times - standing in line to get tickets for a movie was impossible for instance, I decided to try acupuncture. Still skeptical of non-traditional treatments, I sought out a practitioner that was also an MD. I could not be happier with that decision or with Dr. Ximenes.

Rather than just ask me about my back, Dr. X asked me about my life. An hour and twenty minutes into my first visit, we were done talking and he recommended nutritional supplements, a book to read, and a 5 element acupuncture process that he said, "Has nothing to do with your back, but you'll be amazed how much better your back will feel".

I still visit Dr. X on occasion, I still get flair ups due to excessive periods of stress or perhaps even from lifting a heavy object carelessly. I see him perhaps once every six months. Being a technical person, I very much enjoy his explanations of how and why his techniques work.

Prior to meeting Dr. X I was seeing a chiropractor regularly and was taking Vioxx, Bextra, and was getting cortisone shots in my lower back. No one remedy was effectual for more than 30 days. For a couple of years now I've been absolutely medicine free, I am exercising and cycling regularly - and waiting patiently in line to see a movie now and then!

Thank you Dr. Ximenes!

Dr. Rey Rocks!

by dbfish

Dr. Rey Ximenes is the best pain doctor I have seen in decades of suffering. Since finding his office - he has a fantastic Nurse and office staff as well - my pain is under control and and my general health better than it's been in years. Dr. Rey's deep knowledge of Conventional and multiple Alternative modalities allows him to do what is best for YOU, painlessly, with humor and compassion.

If the entire Medical community were as knowledgeable, smart, experienced, and deep not to mention cool as Dr. Rey, Austin would be a better place. Improve your life and go see Dr. Ximenes.

• Pros: Knowledge, Multiple modalities, Good Vibes, Results
• Cons: Stairs to the office
