I must say that Dr. Arif is the best pain physician I've ever met. He is very compassionate, professional and detail oriented with excellent hands-on skills. He never rushes through the appointment, always listens to the concerns, discusses the diagnosis, addresses the concerns and suggests a few treatments options so you do not feel left out. Pain management is a very sensitive issue and I believe Dr. Arif was made for that. Oh and I must also mention that the facility is super clean and despite being busy, he and his staff always try to accomodate and see the patients, sometimes as soon as within 1 day. Overall I am very happy with the exeprience and will not even think about any other doctor :)

This review is on behalf of my mother who has spondilitis and multiple referral pain complaints. Firstly most of the doctors are time bound and with the length of medical negligence and pile on issues in my mother's case, Dr. Arif was patient enough to give a good 30 minutes for learning the medical history and further 15 minutes for evaluating the points of referral pain. Finally we started the procedure for easing her pain, and with a few months of therapy combined with Dr. Arif's evaluations and any pivots required, my mother should be pivot free. Thanks to his staff as well who are the perfect hand in glove synchrony for this clinic to be as efficient as it is for spine and pain ailments. One stop for diagnosis and One stop for treatment are the kind of blessings to be grateful for and this clinic is absolutely on top of the list for me.

I highly recommend Dr. Muhammad Arif!! I’ve had three major back surgeries due to breaking my back (T12-S1) in a motorcycle accident 15 years ago. I recently got re-injured from a chiropractor that resulted in more pain than I already learn to deal with and significant nerve damage in my left leg which also caused drop foot. Dr. Muhammad does not push narcotics like doctors I’ve had in the past. He is very caring, personable, and extremely smart in this field. He is very knowledgeable and I’m so thankful to have found him. He is helping me manage my pain with conservative measures but amazing results. I can’t thank you enough Doctor!

I can’t say enough good things about the Spine and Pain Clinic of Texas in Plano! Dr. Arif is truly a pain management expert. After struggling with chronic back and neck pain for years, I finally found a clinic that listens and cares. The staff is professional, the clinic is clean and welcoming, and the treatment plan was tailored specifically to my needs. Within weeks, I experienced major relief without relying on heavy medications. If you're looking for the best pain management doctor in Plano, this is the place to go. Highly recommend Dr. Arif and his amazing team!

Chronic neck tension and severe migraines were making it nearly impossible for me to function at work or enjoy time with my family. I noticed the clinic while running errands near Tennyson Parkway and decided to see what they could do to help. They treated me with Botox injections specifically targeted for chronic pain, and it has drastically reduced how often I get these debilitating headaches. Living in the busy Shoal Creek neighborhood, I need all my energy, and thanks to this clinic, I finally have it back.

After being told I'd just have to learn to live with my chronic joint deterioration, I sought a second opinion at this clinic near the Dallas North Tollway. I drove down from the Kings Ridge area specifically because I heard they offered advanced options like stem cell injections. The doctor explained the procedure thoroughly, and several months later, the deep, chronic aches in my joints have faded significantly. It feels like I've been given my active life back without having to rely on daily painkillers.

Living right over in Legacy West, my morning walk to get coffee used to be miserable because of the sharp, shooting pain in my lower back. I finally reached out to the Spine and Pain Clinic of Texas since their office on Stonewood Drive is basically just down the road near the Tollway. The doctor recommended a lumbar epidural steroid injection, and the entire process was quick and handled with so much care. Now, I can actually sit at my desk all day and walk around the neighborhood without constantly wincing.

The Doctor took his time to actually listen to me. He came up with a treatment plan that will work for me. For the 1st time in over ten years I can actually look forward to some relief. Each visit I'm more impressed with the Doctor. His compassion and empathy are unmatched by any Doctor I've seen for my condition.
UPDATE: After seeing Dr. Arif for several months now nothing has changed. He's just as caring and compassionate as he was from day one. I'm slowly being able to do more in my daily life.

Dealing with severe, radiating nerve pain down my legs was exhausting, to the point where I barely wanted to leave my house in Richardson. I was referred to the Plano location of Spine and Pain Clinic of Texas, which was a very straightforward drive straight up Preston Road. They performed a nerve block that essentially shut off the sharp, electrical shocks I had been feeling for months. The doctors here truly listen to you, and I couldn't be happier with the compassionate care I received.

Carrying so much tension in my shoulders left me with massive muscle knots that no amount of deep tissue massage could fix. I made the short trip from North Carrollton over to their Plano office to see the specialists here. They performed trigger point injections right into the tightest spots, and my muscles finally unclenched after months of severe spasms. It is a huge relief to sit comfortably while I work, and the front desk staff was so welcoming.

I had a lingering sports injury that just refused to heal, keeping me from my daily workouts at the gym near Lakeside on Preston. I looked into regenerative options and found the Spine and Pain Clinic of Texas right around the corner on Stonewood Drive. I opted for a PRP injection to help heal the tissue naturally, and the recovery progress has blown me away. I’m finally lifting weights again without that sharp, stabbing pain stopping me in my tracks.

Reaching for the top shelf in the kitchen or putting on a heavy coat had become completely unbearable for my right shoulder lately. Since I live just over the border in Allen, taking Custer Road down to their Plano office was a quick and easy trip. The doctor administered a shoulder injection, and the range of motion I've regained in just a few short weeks is fantastic. It’s amazing how much better your days are when you aren’t babying a painful joint all the time.

The drive from my house in Central Plano was totally worth it to finally get a full night's sleep without waking up from agonizing hip pain. The clinic is tucked away in a really nice professional park near Spring Creek, making parking an absolute breeze. After putting it off, I went in for a hip joint injection, and the staff was unbelievably empathetic and attentive to my concerns. I haven't felt this kind of relief in years and can actually sleep on my side again.

A neighbor in Deerfield recommended this clinic to me after I complained about the deep, aching pain in my lower back every time I tried to bend or twist. Their office on Stonewood Drive is super easy to get to, just a quick hop off Preston Road. I went in for a facet block, and I was genuinely surprised by how fast and painless the procedure was. After a month, I am finally back to tending to my garden without having to stop every five minutes to stretch out my back.

Being super active around Frisco, the sudden bone-on-bone grinding in my knee was keeping me completely sidelined from my usual weekend runs. I decided to try the Spine and Pain Clinic of Texas since they are conveniently located just south of SH 121 in Plano. The team performed a knee joint injection, and the immediate relief was honestly hard to believe. I’m back to jogging the trails without that constant throbbing, and I couldn't be more thankful to the staff here.

I’ve been fighting awful neck stiffness and tension headaches for the better part of a year, making my commute from Willow Bend feel incredibly draining. I booked an appointment at the Plano clinic because it’s super convenient right off Spring Creek Parkway. They gave me a cervical epidural steroid injection, and they completely put my nerves at ease before the procedure. It’s been weeks since I’ve had a severe headache, and my neck mobility is finally back to normal.

It's very wonderful coming here! I have high hopes that Dr. Arif can help with managing my pain. I have 4 young kids to keep up with plus also just wanting to get back to a normal pain free life! I will leave another review further ìnto my treatment with Dr Arif to evaluate how I am feeling then. But so far I am very happy with the choice I made coming here! He took the time to listen to me and has been very professional and caring from the start.

My first visit with Spine&Pain clinic in Plano, TX with Dr. Muhammad Arif was great. He was amazingly perceptive of the pain I was feeling and immediately healed my discomfort. I appreciate his professionalism, and advice for alleviating my particular health concerns. He was clear and precise in the diagnosis of my ailment. I felt comfortable with his excellent skill. Thank you!
Likewise, I commend Christopher who worked with Dr. Arif. He was helpful in processing my paperwork expeditiously.
~ Virginia G
The office staff is always friendly and willing to try and help out in any way they can. The wait to see the doctor in usually only a few minutes, but may take half an hour on a rare occasion. Dr Arif and Jenna-CNP are both personable and truly want to help ease your pain.
This is one doctor I don't mind driving 45 minutes to see once a month. I've been a patient of Excel Pain Consultants for just over 5 years.
I highly recommend Excel Pain Consultants.
~ Deborah G
Dr. Arif is a very good doctor. He takes the time to listen and focus on finding the causes of issues you're having, so he can improve your overall health. He's not one of those doctors who rush thru the appointment and quickly show you the door. When he recommends tests, there is a reason - and he has diagnosed issues I've had for years that other doctors have not. Dr. Arif has definitely exceeded my expectations, for which I am most thankful.
~ Lucile W
I've been seeing pain management doctors for 15 years after I got hurt at work and I've finally found a place where I'm heard and where they actually care about me and what I am going through instead of the people who are not interested in how your doing and just sending you through the door
I've been going here for about 4 years I think and they still listen to me it's not a pill mill they really do care about you

I had my first appointment yesterday with Latrina Martin at the Tyler Tx office. Changing Pain Management doctors is very hard for anyone especially someone with chronic pain and has seen many different doctors over 17 years. From the moment I walked in the door and met the two incredible ladies at the front desk I felt a PEACE come over me. They filled out all the forms for everything even my past history and medication list. Then walked in the sweetest most AMAZING CARING WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL WOMAN I HAVE EVER MET IN THE PAIN MANAGEMENT FIELD. I was a little reluctant to change doctors because of my history with faulty pain pumps botched surgeries and uncaring doctors who are only in this profession for the money and their GOD COMPLEX. Latrina Martin and her whole staff completely got me. They understood me they listened to me and I feel like this is the best decision I have ever made regarding my health care regarding my back issues. I'm so extremely grateful for this direction I have been led to regarding my pain management issue's. If your hesitate to try this clinic DONT BE!
~ Tanya R

Switch pain Doctors to Spine and Pain Clinic of Texas in Plano! Don't wait!! Awesome care!
~ Marianne R
OMG!! I can't believe how simple and unpainful my procedure was. Without any anesthesia!!! Dr. Arif Muhammed told me I had nothing to worry about and he was Right!!! I've been put under anesthesia for so many years for my procedures, and didn't feel comfortable not having being put to sleep. Now, I'm just in Awwwww. Thank You to all employees at this clinic......IF YOU'RE HAVING IN BACK, KNEE, SHOULDER, BONE PROBLEMS THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME
