    I asked to be transferred to advocate PM because of proximity to my house and employment. I specifically asked if the doctor could and would follow my current treatment and essentially take over my care. Dr. Sheth did a review of my file and cleared me as a patient " agreed to take over my care". Upon arrival I went through the normal procedure "urine sample, weight , pain questionnaire" then I was introduced to the Dr. Sheth. Immediately he informed me that he wouldn't take over medication management. I'm so compliant with my medication that its to the extreme, which he did acknowledge. I asked for my money back since he reviewed my record prior to coming in, He refused to refund the visit. I could tell by the way he acted that he had planned to defraud me and the insurance and had no intention to help me as a patient. Further more his attitude was that of a snake oil salesman, not a legitimate doctor. Beware there is big issues going on at this clinic. Moreover Dr. Sheth according to the information I found on him is not very well liked by patients he has worked at a lot of pain management clinics all over the country " Alabama, Michigan and Texas" which further raises my suspicion about his character.

    I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. First, I had to wait six weeks to get an appointment. Then I had to wait over an hour to get in to see the doctor. He was more concerned about his computer running slow than talking to me about my pain. When I went to check out I was told everybody had to see a psychologist one time and get blood work. I thought this is nuts. Finally my next appointment was in a month. I was ticked off about the whole experience. When I got home I went online found another doctor who would see me this Thursday. Then I cancelled the other appointment.

    The positive reviews must be written by staff members. People come here in pain and put their trust in the integrity and care of Dr. Dorsett who has neither of these traits, which is proven by the fact that he allows rude and accountable staff to run his office. Countless requests for medical records have been ignored. HIPAA investigation is long overdue

    Advocate has two pain doctors to help you through what will be one of the worst times in your life. If you come to them for a temporary form of pain, they will take care of you with the best medication and advice you can find. They consider your whole life situation so you wonā€™t be zonked out beyond taking care of children and you wonā€™t be left writhing in pain until everyone else is writhing with you. If you come with the type of pain thatā€™s chronic and takes a lot longer to resolve, they will work with you until your pain is tolerable (because letā€™s face it some pain can leave you incapable of leading a normal life) and you can still function even if itā€™s at a reduced level. What Iā€™m saying is they are one of the very few (and I mean VERY FEW) doctors who arenā€™t so afraid of the feds that they wonā€™t treat you. Get ready for some paperwork but they will treat you. The only reason they donā€™t get five stars is that on occasion youā€™ll have to fly into a panic wondering why your meds arenā€™t at the pharmacy when you expect them. Itā€™s always an electronic communication problem and you will have to call the doctors who say itā€™s the pharmacy, rinse and repeat. But overall they are one of the best in the Houston area. Good luck with your problems and God bless you.

    I considered seeing this doctor but decided not, mainly based on the ā€œownerā€™sā€ (not doctorā€™s??) response to the lady who inquired multiple times why she was being referred out. Whether or not I accept her story at face value isnā€™t important. My issue is with the lack of response she got from office staff, but even more with the response posted here. I could feel the coldness emanating from the written words. This was not an effort to soothe a patient but only to justify his actions. Dr, Whoever you are, thereā€™s more to being a good doctor than knowing what meds to prescribe or what procedure to perform. If you didnā€™t already know, patients form bonds with their doctors when they are treated with respect, not being patronizing or condescending like you reflected in your response. Thereā€™s no reason that couldnā€™t have been explained in a warmer, more caring way. I predict that unless you learn a little humility and a great deal of empathy, youā€™ll never become the doctor you wanted to be.

    I moved from GA. Have serious degenerative back problems. They requested records which I sent. Then sent records from GA Pain. Then they asked for my Practioner's records which I sent. They called me 2 days after the last set of documents from my practioner's and the girl told me they could not see me. I asked at least 15 times why and never got an answer, she hung up on me. These doctors in TX have a different agenda and I'm assuming a different hippocratic oath - not wanting to help people at all.

    Read the reviews below, went through a very similar experience! Choose someone different, lots of interventional pain management facilities out there to choose from. This facility spent 2weeks reviewing my medical records for an appointment in order to take my $$ and tell me based on my records they couldnā€™t help me, as I need someone to maintain my pain management. Waste of time, waste of money, why did the spend 2 weeks to see if they can take me as a patient and then set an appointment with me if they couldnā€™t help. They would of known there was nothing they could do from my records showing I already burnt off my nerves. To make matters even more frustrating, when I called the office in the first place they claimed to be a facility that could handle long term pain management, and they pretty much lied to get $$$. Again go back to you insurance/pcp tons out there to choose from. Seems Iā€™ve been scammed just as much as the people below!

    I have been a patient of doctors Sheth and Dorsett for approximately 5 years and I have had excellent care from both of them. I have extensive arthritis throughout my body and without their close attention to my pain management, I wouldn't be able to go about my day to day life. They are invaluable to me.

    Dorsey& Seth - Horrible bedside manners, putting no trust on patients' concerns and admonishing them even for seeing physicians of other specialties, such as a psychiatrist and a rheumatologist. Waiting time can be up to 2 hours, they never apologize for the delay or the inconvenience it may have caused the patients. Clinic is disorganized: you are called for vitals, then told to go back to the waiting area and wait for an undisclosed amount of time. The place itself is poorly kept with storage boxes piled against the walls of the exam rooms and offices. It is the last place someone looking for pain relief will ever want to go.

    Has always been a helpful office with nice staff and doctors. This past week was especially hard on everyone and they did all they could to accommodate for my missed appointment. (They also did a great job during the shutdown when covid first started) I appreciate all the time and effort spent from the front of the house to the back. Thank you all!
