  • Dr. Samen is simply the best! Her bedside manner is just the greatest. I've had injections for my SI Joint and trigger point injections leaving me 90% better and giving me my mobility back. Thank you so much!

  • My experience has been very positive, especially under the care of my pain management doctor, Dr. Samen. She has played a key role in helping me manage my chronic body pain and TMJ-related discomfort. Through a thoughtful and individualized treatment plan-including nerve block therapy and Botox injections-she has helped me achieve noticeable relief and a better quality of life. Dr. Samen takes the time to listen carefully, explain each step of the process, and ensure that I'm comfortable and informed. Her compassionate and skilled approach has made a significant difference in both my pain levels and overall well-being. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and the consistent support I've received from the GBMC Pain Management Team.

  • Dr Samen is my hero. She treated me with respect, warmth, and true compassion! In February and March of this year I was bedridden with excruciating right lower back pain. While in the hospital I received no diagnosis but was told to seek pain management. When I got home I had 24/7 care and with opioids could barely walk using a Walker. With a wheelchair and help I arrived at Dr Samen’s office with one exam she diagnosed me with SI joint pain. She gave me medication for nerve pain and ordered a steroid injection to be performed by her. That injection eliminated most of my pain. I was able to resume all activities and go to physical therapy. In July of this year I received another injection prior to going on a grueling trip. The trip was great and today I am totally pain free. I first saw Dr. Samen at the age of 84. I really thought that my pain and immobility might be the beginning of the end for me. Because she so successfully treated me I was able to attend my first grandchild’s wedding on the other side of the country. I danced and partied for 3 days without a twinge of pain. I am fully back to normal and live a very active life! Thank you Dr. Samen!
