In April 2021 I injured my back. The next day I woke up and couldn’t walk. I went to the workers comp doctor and they suggested physical therapy, it didn’t help. Fast forward 5 months and I had physical therapy, dry needling, cupping, massage therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic treatment. Nothing worked and the doctors said my disk wasn’t herniated enough for surgery. I ended up in the ER because of pain and finally had surgery. I had a L5 S1 microdiscectomy which resulted in some relief but not enough to where I can function properly.
My nerve still thinks is compressed and I still live in pain. I have seen seven different doctors and it feels like all of them just throw their hands up and say, “we don’t know what will fix this.” I live with pain every day. I finally found Dr. Ariel Shaifer at Allpria (Prism)! She listens to me, cares about what I’m going through and is trying to find a solution. The staff is friendly and also listens for what’s in YOUR best interests. Trish is an amazing nurse that makes you feel comfortable and not rushed. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I hadn’t found this wonderful place. I finally feel like I will make it through this with the help of the people in this office.

I am older veteran and have been going to Allpria Healthcare (Prism Pain Management) for 2 years regularly! The doctors and medical nurses and staff are the best out there, and results are proof of what I am disclosing!

I want to say THANK YOU to Ariel @Allpria! I’m very happy with my care here! She’s been honest, caring, compassionate, funny & on top of my treatment! Even with my loooooong ongoing health issues I have, Ariel was on top of her game! I fell and messed up my shoulder. In no time I had an MRI done, the results and referral to the right doctors and a plan in place! She’s a rockstar! I’m very happy that Dr. Shell is at Allpria (Prism)! He’s a good man, who knows what he’s doing! I will always be grateful to him. He explained my condition to family members, who didn’t understand my diagnosis, he helped make my life possible! Thank you so much for helping me keep my pain manageable & being there when I need you! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Allpria (Prism)!!

The staff are an amazing group of young and wonderful people, who brighten up my day from the moment I walk in the door. The procedures they have performed on me have helped me so much that I feel like a brand new woman. So I would say, yes! I recommend this place to anyone who is suffering from any kind of body pains that keep you from waking up every day and being the most you can be. So try them and I believe you will never regret walking through their door.

The atmosphere is very calming and the staff are more than friendly and able to answer pretty much any questions I had. The exam was very professional and Ariel knew how to get me involved with the treatment and diagnosis. I would recommend the clinic highly for its staff and environs.

I want to start off by saying I think and really hope this is the right place for me! I have been living in pain and unsure if it is all still from several car accidents or from past disc herniations muscle spasms or what is still going on. I saw Dr.McCleery last week. I was nervous at first as it seemed the visit may have been a waste of time as I thought I may not be able to discuss all of my issues and why I was there but felt VERY heard at the end and felt he understood what I’m going through and my needs. I walked out receiving ALL of the MRI referrals I have been requesting for some time to be updated and finally able to get them got a call the next day and scheduled immediately! He also brought up something that I did not want to bring up because I thought I may sound crazy or didn’t even think he was the right dr to discuss this issue with- I have for some time been experiencing a lot pelvic pain and he asked me if I have pelvic pain and informed me of possibilities related to the back issues!! Of course not diagnosing me but using his knowledge to try to help me and ordered a pelvic MRI as well. I walked out so relieved and happy that I may possibly be on the road to days of less pain and maybe more answers and having been treated the way I was. Today I’m crying in pain at work had to miss a day of work yesterday as I have been going through an extreme flare up the last several days and just keep thinking I can not wait until my next appointment with Dr.McCleery I feel hopeful to find some treatments that may be right for me and to continue being treated at Prism healthcare. I’m feeling hopeful and I am happy with my experience at this practice. Also was treated kindly by the MA and the front desk. I am not sure about the bad reviews on here but I feel taken care of and heard so far, I will update further on into my care. Thanks so much Dr.McCleery and staff!!!!!!!

I have seen a few pain management specialists but never really got a sense that they cared about me and my issues. When I met Charmin Sjoberg and Dr. Frandrup, I immediately knew that they sincerely cared about their patients. Ms. Sjoberg listens to my concerns and offers real solutions. The staff are amazing as well. They are all very friendly and professional and always willing to lend an ear. I am very satisfied with my treatment at Allpria (Prism) and highly recommend them to anyone suffering from any type of pain.

Each time I visit Allpria (Prism) it’s a great experience. The staff and doctors are happy and always make me feel cared for and listened to. Not too many businesses have smiling faces anymore these days so it’s a breath of fresh air to visit Allpria (Prism). Kim really goes out of her way to help you with any concerns. She is happy, smiling, and eager to see that you leave their doors a happy, satisfied, and cared about ! Thank you Allpria (Prism).

I have been to numerous doctors (around 40+) in the past 5 years including the Mayo Clinic and specialists from all across the country. I just moved to Denver and saw Ariel Shaifer, APRN, NP-C at Allpria (Prism) this week. She is by far one of the best physicians that I have ever seen. Many doctors have been unwilling to listen or in too much of a hurry to actually diagnose or understand my condition. Ariel was patient and spent a significant amount of time going over my entire medical history, asking questions, listening to my concerns, and providing treatment options. You can tell that she genuinely cares for her patients unlike many medical practices in the 21st century. I can’t express enough how relieving it was to finally find a doctor that understood my pain and suggested some solutions that were reasonable for me.
