Jacob LaSalle MD, Pain Medicine / Anesthesiology

"Dr. LaSalle is an excellent physician who has helped me manage cervical and lumbar pain, arthritis pain, migraines, and tennis elbow. He explains conditions and treatment options very thoroughly. I truly believe Hudson Medical helps to keep me mobile and active."

"Dr Lasalle is very experienced. Has treated me and a few people I have referred to him. Each one as satisfied as I am. My condition is not fixable but he has managed to keep me well for the past years. My wait time has been minimal and everyone from the receptionist to the nurses have been great."

"Came to Dr LaSalle for a herniated disc - he seemed to have good reviews online and he assured me they were very good with getting authorizations and skilled in pain managment. Told him was not in so much pain the first day but it would be nice to have something for reassurance as I travel a lot and things can happen while out of the country. for some reason he told me I should do a trigger point injection on the first day had never heard of this before but he did not want to give me any medication so I agreed to try this out. The next day I woke up in extreme pain - called them and let them know what was happening not much help. Told them the first day to please try to get authorization for my Epidural as the last one was from a different doctor and they had to cancel it and get another he told me they usually do this in one day. Anyways low and behold they did not listen to me and did not start the authorization process with my insurance - I would up in so much pain i had to goto the hospital over the weekend. He still refused to give me any medication even after putting me into much more pain than before with this trigger point injection. Weeks later they ask for authorization as i really needed a Epidural it got denied as expected do not think they gave my insurance full information then they told me they were going to try and send more information and get it approved but do not think they actually did this and refused to show me any correspondence with insurance. Eventually they told me they only thing I could do it pay out of pocket - felt sort of like a scam as i had asked them to ask for this authorization the first day I went and they completely disregarded the information. Ive sent multiple requests for my records via email and they have yet to respond. They seem extremely competent but not sure I would trust this doctor will never be going back here. He gave me an epidural which he made me pay out of pocket for. however he did not wait long enough for the lidocaine to kick in always felt like he was in a rush it was the first time i screamed in pain from an epidural. After this I felt ZERO relief usually feel a cold sensation when the medication goes in this time just felt pain and zero sensation and zero pain relief almost leads me to believe he either missed the spot or did not put the medication in? This whole process has been nothing less than a complete disaster - hopefully this will be helpful to someone. Have really never been treated so poorly by a doctor before really do not think he liked me at all for some reason."
