Patient Testimonials

I have been going to Bellevue Surgery Center for the past few years for procedures for chronic pain with Dr Malmalbaum and staff they are wonderful caring people.

Judy L

I have Dr. Mambalam as my doctor and he is the best most professional physician that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is amazing! I have read what some others have written about him, but, I'm sorry, I went thru at least 6 other doctors before I got the chance to get in with Dr. Mambalam, he is the only one that took the time to listen and set up a treatment that made my life improve by leaps and bounds!!!! It's about treatments and medications that work together! I have gotten my life back without the pain I was living thru!!!!! I have referred others to him and they can't thank me enough for the referral. Absolutely the best care, and doctors I have met in a long time, they listen, they are friendly, very professional, and really care about you as a patient. I have been going to Pain Management for the last 5 years, and from the first visit till today they are still the best doctors, and staff you will ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Marilyn S

Dr. Mambalam has been the most amazing doctor, truly managing my husband's back pain for the first time in 20 yrs. He is completely thorough in his treatment plans, explaining them in depth and gaining our trust. He always makes time for us and instills complete confidence in his work and plan. Only complaint I have is that it can be very difficult to get to a live person on the phone when calling the clinics at either location. That needs work.

Anne P

I have had a professional, courteous experience from all the staff every time I go here. Dr. M takes the time to explain everything and options. He and Bonnie (the nurse) listens to my concerns with my pain. I have read the negative reviews and wonder if they are talking about the same people.

Perkins D

First visit and the staff are friendly and Dr. Mambalam was great! He listened to me and my concerns.

Doug M

Everyone at the Washington Pain Center for Management is always kind, caring and professional. Dr. Mambalam makes sure you understand what procedure he is doing, any possible risks involved and checks to see if You have any questions. I've been very happy with the care of the entire team.
