Testimonials

My husband and I have been clients at Metro Pain in West Des Moines for at least 20 years. Dr. Sykes oh my. He is wonderful beyond compare. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, displays grace. He rescued me from horrendous Pain the first time I went there. My Mom many years ago took an antibiotic that destroyed my skeletal system. Dr. Sykes, absolutely wonderful. N.P. Sarah Biscoglia wonderful as well. She took our care over many years ago. She is incredibly intelligent, incredibly kind, patient, and displays grace. She sure knows her meds. My husband was going to take calcium. Sarah said no because he has kidney issues. Ty for that Sarah!! She knows we live a distance away and will see us on computer when she can. Ty Sarah for everything!!! Thank you. I want to add, Dr. Sykes gave my husband a shot one time. I can't remember why but this injection needed to be given backwards. Dr. Sykes did this with ease and hubby felt no pain. Ty to all.

Absolutely the best to work with!

Dr. Ransdell for timely and appropriate response to my pain. Thank you so much Dr. Ransdell!

Dr. Sykes is fantastic! Wouldn’t go to anyone else. The staff are friendly and professional.

Good. Everyone friendly

Dr Quam is a thorough and caring pain specialist without whom I would not be in very good shape. Thank you doctor for your excellent care.

Experience was fine.

He cares. I wish I could have him as my primary care physician.

He made himself available at a moments notice. And was willing to take time and answer any questions that I might have.

My visit with Ms Biscoglia was just a checkup and visit about my health and pain management. To say that you feel relaxed and comfortable talking to the person responsible for helping control back pain is an understatement. Sarah listens and prepares a plan to give you comfort. Chronic back pain isn't just one day of pain but constant every day pain. To have someone that truly cares about your life and wanting to ease your pain so you can have a pretty normal life is just great. When friends and family experience back pain for the first time they say I don't know how you deal with the pain every day. This is why Sarah is so important in my life.

I have to say that Dr. Quam is an AWESOME doctor and I trust him with my life, he is a doctor with ethics and compassion. I went through a traumatic attack in my life and Dr. Quam has only had my best interest in mind. There are not many doctors out there like him. During my PTSD and Anxiety, he goes far and above on care for his patients more than any other doctor I have had. Anyone reading this and would need care; Dr. Quam is the best doctor in his field.

He has provided easy and prompt access for care. He listens intently and adjusts treatment accordingly

When I went for my appointment with Dr. Ransdell, my back was bothering me all the time and at times my pain level was at 10. In just about ten minutes, Dr. Ransdell injected my sacro-iliac joints with local anesthetic and steroids and I walked out of the office pain free (the local anesthetic had taken effect! I took it easy the rest of the day and when I got out of bed the next morning, I experienced total relief from the pain I had been having. I had tried to stretch the interval between injections to six month, but had to give in at five months. I can do any of my daily activities, which right now meant raking leaves, etc. to get my yard in shape for winter. I'm 94 ye

Dr. Sykes and his team are always friendly, efficient and caring. I've had several epidural steroid shots with Dr. Sykes and he has always provided professional advice and always gives me a step by step on what he is doing during the procedure.

Everything went well and everyone was kind and efficient. Very Thankful. Shot helped right away.

We always talk about my health very under standing person and her nurse . Great care .

Sarah always listens to my concerns and helps me put together a treatment plan. I like that we make subtle changes when there is an issue and not a big change.

Epidural was very helpful. Still have some pain but it is manageable

Always professional and helpful. Listening is very much appreciated.

Sarah Biscolgia is an awesome doctor. She listens to all concerns and answers all questions, in depth. Everyone at Metro offices have been very kind and helpful.

I have been a regular patient of Dr. Quam's for many years. I can't say enough good things about him. He listens and works to try and find ways to alleviate my pain. From the moment you walk in the door until you leave, it feels like you're with friends. They deserve more than 5 stars!

Dr. Sarah has always been thorough and a pleasure to visit with

My visits are always pleasing to have with Sarah. She is very concerned about my health and making sure I receive great care. Whether it is at the office or FaceTime I know I am getting the best of care. She seems to ask new questions about my health and always ask if I have new concerns or if I have any concerns. I always like how she keeps my family doctor up to date on my care. Dr Quam and Sarah make a great team in helping me maintain the best health possible.

Pleasant, very professional,she listens and gives different alternatives for a more balance d opinion.

Dr. Sykes and the crew at Metro pain and anesthesia are the best! Dr. Sykes is a great doctor! Actually listens to the patient. Highly recommend him for pain management.

I was so appreciative of getting my injection done by Dr. Ransdell. He explained things so well and even went over my MRI results in detail . My admitting and discharge nurse Linda was super and also explained everything we. The nurse that assisted Dr. Ransdell was amazing on telling me exactly each step and what to expect. Being a nurse myself I so appreciated the education . I have had a good week and feel so much better , Just hope the effects will last for awhile Thanks again for everything . Judy nikkel
