Mohammed A Issa, MD

Dr, Issa is an awesome doctor! But he is an unbelievable human being. This world needs more like him! Warmest, [redacted]

Dr Issa is a treasure, no two ways about it. I've been under the care of pain clinics most of my life and he's everything they should have been and more. He provides real, effective, and compassionate care based on real science and listening to his patient, rather than anti-science hysteria based in bias. He has a way of gently asking me whether I'm allowing myself to take my meds when I need them and reassuring me that he wouldn't prescribe them if he didn't want me to actually use them. And he understands the trauma around that subject for long term patients like me- the only other people I've encountered who actually understand that are other chronic pain patients. His combined training in both pain medicine and addiction psychiatry should be the standard for all pain specialists. To say Dr Issa has saved my life is not an exaggeration.

My medical condition is complex. I felt that Dr. Issa truly listened to me (symptoms, treatments that worked or did not, etc) in an open-minded unhurried manner, incorporating my experience into a big picture view of the clinical problem. He clearly communicated the clinical problem in terms I could understand. He offered treatment options that I was not previously aware of. I am pursuing both options and for the first time in over a year I feel optimistic. In addition, I appreciate the pacing of the dialog with Dr. Issa. It is an experience I've not had for some time.

Treat patients with care & concerns

Dr Issa is a very good doctor. He's respectful and caring I couldn't ask for a better doctor.

Dr Issa is probably one of the best doctors I've ever worked with he takes time then with the patient I'm very kind he's caring he listens to me we've worked on my pain for the last several years and we've gotten a combination of medications that works for my pain whenever I I reach out to him on Gateway he's always prompt I honestly can't give enough praise to him he's literally one of the best if not the best doctor I've ever worked with I love doctor, thank you

Excellent customer service skills Good listener Knowledgeable and compassionate

Dr. Issa, Is one of the best doctors I have ever visited. Not only is he knowledgeable. His manner puts you at ease and he is an excellent listener.

My provider is very thorough.

My surgeon is exceptional. Not just in the actual surgery but in all of the pre and post communications.

Very honest and compassionate

The provider and nurses were great and very nice to me

Patient focused.

Dr. Issa is not only a competent and clinically sound provider, he is a warm, kind, and compassionate man. He understands me and my conditions implicitly, and is very calming, and allays my anxiety. I have the utmost faith in him.

All good

It's evident in Dr. Issa's manner that he often deals with patients who have concerns and anxieties. He was incredibly understanding and patient, and ensured that I understood the procedure and had the opportunity to ask questions and have my concerns addressed.

And my experience with this doctor was a good one. It was a good experience. And I would recommend him to my family member, my friends, whoever want to, that I know that is sick. I'm sickly for orthopedic doctor, I would definitely recommend Dr. Issa to any person.

Keep up the amazing work

Dr. Issa is very informative and is so helpful when it comes to my chronic pain. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him. I am beyond grateful and thankful for his support.

he was super respectful, vert kindhearted and very knowledgeable on a wide range of conditions.

Dr. Issa is always kind and caring. I always leave his office with a "plan" which is very comforting.

Dr. Issa, his medical colleagues and all other staff I interacted with were kind, respectful, helpful, and attentive. I so appreciate their help and suggestions for going forward. Thank you.

It's a huge relief to have a medical professional know my genetic condition and the issues that come with it. It's very hard to find doctors who do understand and that makes getting the right care not only difficult but draining, when they don't understand and then don't take the time to understand.

Dr Issa is the best he gets me and I would be lost without his expertise and caring manner!!

I always have a good visit with Dr Issa. He is very kind and he always listens to what I have to say.

excellent provider

Dr. Issa is a lifesaver! He has stood by me for years & I do not know what I'd do without him. It's worth the trip from NH to Faulkner!

Extraordinary example of skill, focus, fund of knowledge and personal grace. I feel so fortunate to receive this level of care.

Excellent patient care and excellent medical attention.

Dr. Issa made me feel heard. He seemed interested in trying new things for my pain, which is a pleasant surprise after over a decade of chronic pain.

She is an excellent person, very dedicated and pays close attention to everything you tell her.

Dr. Issa is THE most outstanding pain physician I have ever met - and I unfortunately have met a lot of them. My only concern is that someone is going to come along and snatch him away.

Dr. Issa is the best!

Dr. Issa is one of the best providers I have. He explained why I'm having chronic pain and recommendations on how we should proceed. He carefully listens to my questions and shows respect to me as the patient. He certainly is an excellent provider in Brigham Pain Management Center.

Very glad he's properly educated and knowledgeable about complex rare health conditions and listens vs gaslighting

Dr Issa is the best. I've been under the care of pain specialists most of my life and he is unlike anyone else I've ever encountered. He provides compassionate, honest, no-nonsense care. He treats me as a partner in my care and has got to know my needs and ways of thinking about things over the years in the way a trusted friend does- and I absolutely consider him to be one. One thing I especially like and respect about him is that he is honest and realistic about my case. My condition is serious, and deterioration over time is inevitable. I can always rely on him to treat that as a simple fact rather than push toxic positivity or false hopes for improvement on me. We acknowledge that I will never NOT be in pain, and the benchmark we use instead is whether I'm satisfied with the relief I'm getting and whether my pain is controlled enough that I can do the things I need and want to do with reasonable accommodation. He doesn't treat my remaining pain as a failure the way other doctors have. We're always looking for new ideas, but there's no pressure to fix what isn't broken. If none of this sounds radical- it isn't. But it is radically different from any other doctor I've seen, and I've seen a lot.

For the first time in 3 years, I finally have some hope that I can get a treatment for my pain. Dr. Issa is willing to think outside the box and provided options that other providers had not.
