Services
Rhizotomy
Rhizotomy is a minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy to target pain-transmitting nerves in the spine. This treatment effectively disrupts pain signals from facet joints, providing relief for chronic neck and back pain caused by arthritis or injury. Ideal candidates include patients with confirmed facet joint syndrome who haven't responded to conservative treatments.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation involves implanting a device that delivers electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals. This advanced treatment option is particularly effective for complex regional pain syndrome and failed back surgery syndrome. Patients experience significant pain reduction through customizable, non-opioid pain management technology.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to inflamed spinal nerves. This common treatment effectively reduces pain from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. The procedure offers targeted relief with minimal systemic side effects, often providing several months of pain reduction.
Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty stabilizes fractured vertebrae by injecting medical-grade bone cement. This procedure rapidly alleviates pain from compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or trauma. Patients typically experience immediate pain relief and improved mobility following the minimally invasive treatment.
Discogram
Discogram is a diagnostic procedure identifying painful intervertebral discs using contrast dye and imaging. This precise evaluation helps determine if disc abnormalities are causing chronic back pain. The test guides treatment decisions for patients considering surgical or interventional options.

Ladies at the front were all very sarcastic and rude!! Just remember it takes so much more time and energy to be negative than to be welcoming!

Very impersonal. The only thing they did extremely well was to bill your insurance company. They made promises they would not or could not provide. They hated Humana

Find another Doctor. I had an appointment with him last week and it felt like they cared more about money than they did me. Lately I feel like Dr. Monis and his group is all about money. It didn't used to be like that but now it seems like everything they do they're just trying to make a quick buck. There is no communication within staff and Doctor. Find a doctor that cares about you and not about money. He used to be a good doctor, but I don't think that's true about him anymore. Also goodluck waiting in the patient room for about an hour or hour and half before being seen. Then the doctor may

Dr Shroll is the most attentive pain specialist I have ever seen. His staff is amazing and efficient. They know me by site and call me by my name when I come in. I never have a ridiculous wait time and my prescriptions are usually ready at my pharmacy by time I get there after my appointment.

When I first started seeing Dr. Monis I was impressed by his knowledge, his compassion, and his willingness to actually listen to me. I feel the same way, nearly three years later. My only criticism of the practice has to do with a few of the Babcock location staff members,who often seemed indifferent to me and any issues I might have. I started driving 30 miles each way to visit Dr. Monis at the New Braunfels location, just to avoid having interactions with the Babcock staff--even though that location is 10 minutes from my home. Now I'm going back to Babcock, because I'm impressed with PA Trevino

I was given Dr Moris after my then current Physician left the practice. Dr. Moris is very amicable and listens to your issues. I really like him and his associate, Dr. Far as well. I would recommend both of these doctors and their practice.
