Doctor Glaser is such an amazing person who I've had the fortune of being in his care great staff. Highly recommend you visit Chicago surgery

My mom, Joni turned 71 this past December and has suffered with horrible back problems for a majority of her adult life. This last year or so it got the worse it's ever been. She could no longer stand up straight, she was quite literally was walking at a 90° angle. It affected every aspect of her life from daily chores to breathing. She couldn't walk 15 feet without needing to rest and the pain was so excruciating it hurt me just having to watch. She couldn't even straighten up to hang up clothes. Dr. Glaser recommended she have something called the Minuteman procedure. He described the success he had seen in other patients and thought it would help my mom a lot. My mom was all for it, however, I was wary of her having any kind of surgical back procedure done. I went with her to one of her appointments and heard him describe the benefits. In the end we were both sold on the idea. Well, it's been 15 days and my mom is doing wonderful! It's truly a miracle. She no longer walks crippled over or even needs assistance from a cane. She's also gotten at least 70% pain relief. We don't have enough words to tell just how miraculous this procedure is. She was considering full back surgery. Instead she opted for the Minuteman. We are so, so grateful for Dr. Glaser and this brilliant little device. I personally can't thank Dr. Glaser enough for his knowledge and recommending the Minuteman to my mom. After seeing her suffer for so long it's amazing to see her walking up straight and confidently once again. Thank you more than words can say, Dr. Glaser, the staff at Palos Surgicenter, and Minuteman!!!

Don’t wait! I was to the point I just couldn’t get through my day, I couldn’t get the things done that I had to do. My legs were so weak and painful, especially with any activity. This time I really felt like age was catching up with me. Because of several medical issues other than my back I had to put off getting an injection and as time went on I was resolving to believe there wasn’t much hope. I put on 10 pounds and was only looking forward to the end of each day. Dr Glaser has given me injections before and they helped but this time I really felt I was beyond what he could help with. Had my injection last week. I can now walk where I want to and as long as I want to. He is so good at what he does. Have had injections from at least 3 other doctors but never had these results. Have faith that you can be better than you are now, you can trust this doctor. He and his staff are so kind, understanding and talented. My only worry today is that he will retire before I do! Thank you doctor, Maria and the rest of the staff!

Dr.Scott Glaser has by far been the best Pain specialist I've yet to see in all the years I've been managing my pain and going to different pain clinics.  He actually cares and actually does not stop until he finds the root of the problem!! I have been suffering for over 25 years with spinal stenosis, herniated disks, bulging disks, and the worst sciatic nerve pain any person should ever have to endure.  Dr.Glaser is very knowledgeable about his medical practice and I did my share of research before I came to him with all of my pain issues. He has helped me tremendously ,  and I, ONE MILLION PERCENT recommend him to EVERYONE AND ANYONE whom you may know who suffers in pain as I have throughout more then half of my pain ridden life. I have had joint facet injections as well as other procedures from him and he has healed the excruciating pain in my neck that I thought would never heal, it was so bad I couldn't even sleep comfortably.  So if you are looking for a wonderful Dr. , look NO FURTHER!!! Dr.Scott Glaser is your man!!! His logo should be ...WWW.THE BOMB.COM!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DOC!! YOUR AMAZING:)

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Glaser and his staff. Dr. Glaser goes above and beyond for his patients. He’s always willing to listen, never rushes your appointment and really cares for his patients. His staff is professional and caring. When I leave a message, they always call you back. Dr Glaser and his staff are 5 star. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with Dr. Glaser, you won’t be disappointed.

I was introduced to Dr. Glaser through a friend who highly recommended Dr. Glaser as the "Best Pain Specialist in Illinois" She stated "Dr. Glaser actually cared for you and listened to your pain situations." I was grateful for the recommendation, but I doubted her referral because I had visited so many other doctors who did not listen nor did they care when I complained of the pain areas in my body. As I do with all previous and current doctors - I searched his patient reviews and complaints - all good and there were no complaints. I suffered from severe pain in my entire body for 15+ years with excruciating pain extending from Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Osteoarthritis combination. My value in life had simply diminished and I just wanted to die. I was so tired of being in pain every day. No social life. I could not work, and my marriage was deteriorating heading for divorce because I did not want to do anything but stay in bed and just suffer. After a while, staying in bed became too painful. I experienced so many years of suffering. People said that I was lazy and "imagining" the muscle pain in my muscles, knees, lumbar, tendons, and joints. One day - I decided to take my friend's advice and I contacted Dr. Glaser's office to set up an appointment for a new patient's initial consultation. Dr. Glaser's office accepted my health insurance (luckily.) His staff is very professional, friendly, and personable. I received an appointment the following week. Upon meeting Dr. Glaser his first impression was extremely professional and courteous. He shook my hand and introduced himself - which I thought was very uncommon in today's doctors. I was impressed with his bedside manner and patient hospitality. Dr. Glaser appears to be incredibly wise and smart; he knows if you are faking pain. Glaser allowed me time to explain my pain areas and we discussed a personal pain management plan that would work best for me. He looked directly into my eyes and appeared to care. I believe the first impression of an individual is everything. For me, I can see into a person's soul through their eyes. Dr. Glaser treated me as a person, not someone complaining of pain untruthfully. Dr. Glaser diagnosed my pain management plan through MRIs and other diagnostic tests. After reviewing all my testing, urine, and diagnosis results. Dr. Glaser immediately suggested a pain management plan designed just for me right away to help alleviate the pain in the areas complained. I followed every word of his pain management plan and trusted his plan suggestions, and my God - I am so glad I did! As a result, after only three to four weeks of visiting Dr. Glaser, and trusting his pain management method. I have gotten out of that dreadful miserable bed to look for part-time work online to get my life back that was stolen from me many years ago. I am now visiting my friends and family, walking my dogs daily with ease, and I am almost back to myself now that my pain is manageable or there is no pain, and I can have a social life. My marriage has gotten better. My husband tells me that I smile more now since visiting Dr. Glaser. I told him that when a person is in pain - they are irritable and have no reason to smile. This is the absolute truth. I don't know how many times I can say it - I am so grateful that I have my life back thanks to Dr. Glaser. It took me a long time to find a good, decent, caring pain specialist. Dr. Glaser comes highly recommended in my book. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Glaser. While I still do experience minor pain and aches in my legs and feet areas, although absolutely nothing like it was before. I believe in time if continuing to work with Dr. Glaser on his pain management plan this will soon improve. I strongly trust Dr. Glaser's pain techniques and pain recommendations. While I know that I will never be 100% pain-free because of my other auto-immune diagnosis. I believe having a pain management plan is most helpful in managing your pain so there are no restrictions on your life or livelihood. Dr. Glaser restored my social life and my marriage, and I am blessed and profoundly grateful to Dr. Glaser. Dr. Glaser is an old-school personality style doctor who does not have other individuals (strangers) in the room with you while you are discussing your pain and personal business. Dr. Glaser is respectful of his patients' needs and takes notes on his laptop. Dr. Glaser and his team keep records of each visit, so you do not have to repeat yourself over and over. I would like to say to Dr. Glaser - Thank you and your team for all you have done and are still doing for me!  Again, thank you, thank you, and thank you!

From the kick off, I was very impressed as for his level of concern  he had for me.  Many ways to approach my problem, detailed AT MY LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING!  Explanation at first visit To my procedure, followup calling me to see how things were going. He cares and keeps one in the loop.

I want to share my great experience.  I've been dealing with leg and back pain for at least 2 years.  i was referred to Doctor Glaser, Maria and David.   They are all pleasant, professional and they have your best interest in dealing with pain.  They are so helpful and listen to you to determine the best way to put your pain under control.  They take their time with you and don't rush the appointment.  The staff that welcomes you is also very pleasant.  I can't say "Thank You" enough to the doctor and his great staff....they are the best!

Dr.Glaser is a great doctor he goes above and beyond to help in any way possible to get your pain under control. The staff there are always friendly when I come in and they have a smile on their faces! Would really highly recommend this place to anyone! And I have been to many pain specialists over the years! I drive over a hour to see him every month so you know he's a great doctor!

Dr. Glaser along with Maria and staff have been nothing short of a God Send to me. I have been a patient of Dr. Glaser for over 20 years. He has been a warrior in his efforts to fight my chronic pain as well as the insurance companies for me, advocating pain procedures that allowed me sanity and the ability to continue to work. Dr. Glaser has stayed on the cutting edge, a champion against pain and true advocate for pain patients. Dr. Glaser and team also focus on education for both patients and the practice, assuring they retain their lead on new technologies and procedures. Dr Glaser also gives back to his field thru participation within the pain management communities and is also very philanthropic globally. I also have to commend his team. I have never had any issues with scheduling or follow thru on actions of the staff in regard to my care plan.  Everyone is very personable, professional. I also have to add that I look forward to my monthly visits with Maria, she cares and is another advocate for the patients. She is just fantastic. I couldn't say enough good things about Team PSGC. If you are in pain and are looking for a team that cares and provides a life changing effort / service, schedule a visit with PSGC.

Before going to see Dr. Glaser I've seen two other doctors for back pain. After 4 years of injections and ablation. I feel into the injection didn't work they just make it worse. I went to Dr. Glaser office from a friend's recommendation - I had no hope since he wanted to do same same thing, but after year of the same procedure the other doctors did I finally got relief. Before giving up on injection give Dr. Glaser a chance.

This was an answer to prayer. I was at my wits end with pain radiating down both legs, not to mention the terrible pain in my back. I told Dr. Glaser that he had to do something, I can't continue to live with this pain any longer. He suggested the Nervo Spinal cord stimulator. This device has changed my life. I no longer have ANY pain going down my legs and my general pain has been reduced by 70%,as well as my pain meds by 50%. The representatives from Nervo has been very attentive with returning my phone calls and guiding me through the operation. At this point, I give a 5 star review of Pain Specialist of Greater Chicago,  Dr John K. Hong, & and all of the Nervo representatives Thank you to everyone for making this happen.

After years of bedside nursing my back was destroyed. I went through all of the steps, therapy, small surgeries, eventually a fusion. I was sent to doctor after doctor. No longer able to walk through an airport, sit at my desk, sleep through the night, carry groceries, walk the dog, bake a cake, I was so sad.  I had to give up direct patient care and my life became smaller and smaller. Being very active by nature I felt like my life was pretty much over and would be spending my days reading and watching TV. I developed severe rheumatoid arthritis and my rheumatologist sent me to Dr. Glaser. With their help I can now keep up at work, enjoy my grandson's football games and travel again. I am so grateful. As a nurse I know that pain specialists often get judged because of the drugs they prescribe. This is so sad. That stigma probably prevents many people from getting the care  they really need. If you have pain and you can’t live your life anymore, please get help, it is available, it is safe and it can work. Thank you to everyone at the center for giving me my life back, your patience, your dedication.

I want to "Thank You" for controlling my pain. I want to thank you for the opportunity to see my two children graduate college and then go on to achieve their master's degrees. We now live in Texas with our two children and our two grandchildren. We will be moving into our new home in about three weeks.

I had back pain so bad I couldn’t walk. I tried a chiropractor but got no relief. My husband has been using Dr. Glaser for years and suggested I go see him. I went and have never been happier that I did. I am pain free!!!! Also, I’d like to say that the office staff was very good too.

I spent years going to doctors trying to get relief for my chronic pain. None helped until I found Dr. Glaser. He has helped me tremendously with my neck and lower back. I trust him so much I had my wife go to him! She is pain free now.

I had the best experience with Tia one of the NPT. Injection in my left knee, within hours I had total relief. Thank you Tia

I wanted to take a moment to praise Dr. Glaser, Maria (nurse practitioner) and the entire staff. When I was first referred to Dr. Glaser, I was experiencing severe pain from Fibromyalgia and he found that I had bursas in both shoulders. I could not lift my arms above my waist and was in chronic pain all the time.  After treatment and pain medication, I am now able to lift my arms over my head and my pain is managed. During the pandemic when appointments were difficult (to say the least), Dr. Glaser and Maria held virtual visits with me so that they were able to keep my treatment consistent. But, to me the most important thing about Dr. Glaser and his staff is that I know they really care. They are kind, compassionate and let you know that they want to do whatever is necessary to help you. They take the time you need to go over how you're feeling and they try different treatments and various medications until they hit on the right combination that works for the individual. I highly recommend Dr. Glaser and the Pain Specialists of Great Chicago!

Just wanted to tell everyone that both my husband and I absolutely love our Nurse Practioner, Maria Anderson!!! She is such a sweet, genuine, and caring person. We both look forward to our monthly appointments with Maria!! I think that she is the absolute best N.P. that I have ever had since I became a patient of Dr. Scott Glaser MD, in April of 2017. I highly recommend Pain Specialists of Greater Chicago. Dr. Glaser and his wonderful NP, Maria Anderson have really helped me with my chronic pain conditions. They are the best!!!

I went to see Dr. Glaser yesterday (04.29.21).  I have been experiencing horrible diabetic nerve pain for years and have been prescribed many things that did not work.  Dr. Glaser talked to me and prescribed me something for my severe pain. After taking the new prescriptions, I feel ten years younger and am experiencing NO PAIN..... Thank you Dr. Glaser.  I am so happy that I went in to see him.  STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Patient Art states he has suffered from neck pain since he was a child, the pain became worse when he was involved in a car accident years later. Art has tried every avenue to relieve the pain; it was not until he was referred to Dr. Glaser who worked hard to find a plan that worked specifically for him. Art is not pain free but does say his pain is manageable and will continue to follow Dr. Glaser’s treatment plan. We thank Art for sharing his story!

I am forever grateful for both the pain relief and because now I don’t need pain medication to get through the day,” Carol said. “I have lunch dates with friends, spend time with my grandchildren and even sat through a 3-hour play comfortably – all without having to recuperate for days afterward.

Dr Glaser has relieved much of my husband's pain, in his back and in his knees. I think he's a godsend!

Dr. Glaser is one of the most amazing doctors I've ever had the pleasure of knowing! My family & I have seen him for over 12years & I would tell anyone I know "he does amazing work!"

Dr. Glaser has done wonders for me. My husband also started going to him for his shoulder pain, which is gone, and for his back pain. Now, my son-in-law will be making an appointment for his shoulder pain. He is a painter, and he needs his shoulder back, without the pain. He has seen 2 other doctors, which they did not help him, so I told him to go to Dr. Glaser, and he is. He's a great doctor, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart in helping me with my shoulder, back and leg pain. He's the greatest!!

Dr. Glaser has always been invested in my treatments and well being. He never gave up even when I wanted to. I am extremely grateful for his patience and persistence.

The staff, from the doctor to the reception team is nothing but professional, friendly, and accommodating, and the office is also very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Glaser and his team!
