How likely are you to recommend Dr. Illig?
After living in horrific pain for almost two years, I went to my primary care physician and asked to be referred. He was going to send me to yet another ortho doc in Pueblo. However, I asked him, "If your wife had this problem, who would you refer her to?". Without hesitation, he said Dr. Illig. From the moment I met Dr. Illig, I was impressed. He had me take off my shoes and within 1 minute, he knew what was wrong with me and how to fix it. After my surgery, I was able to stand up and be pain-free for the first time in over two years. It is a sad reality that if you seek help for back pain, especially in rural Colorado, the health care community has a tendency to think you are drug-seeking. I've seen the impact of the opioid crisis, so I avoid all narcotics. Despite that, I was still treated like a drug seeker. Dr. Illig, however, was very respectful of my views and worked with me on a narcotic-free rehabilitation plan. This was over ten pain-free years ago!
