Second Opinion Program
Have Confidence In Your Journey Back To The Activities You Enjoy
Getting a second opinion is an important step in your medical journey. We created our Second Opinion Program to empower patients with a deeper understanding of where they are now and confidence in their journey to recovery. Second opinions are a common practice in medicine, and you owe it to yourself to feel secure in what lies ahead.
How Much Does It Cost?
Our Second Opinion is very affordable. If you participate in an accepted payer plan, then your second opinion may only be your standard co-pay to see a specialist.
How Does the Second Opinion Program Work?
First, you’ll make an appointment with Dr. Crooks at Pinnacle Pain and Spine. You will bring your records to the consult, and Dr. Crooks will review them with you. You’ll both discuss what type of pain treatments and surgeries you’ve had, the outcomes you’ve experienced, and what you are currently doing to treat your pain. Then Dr. Crooks will give his expert opinion on the best plan of care moving forward.
You’re free to share your diagnosis and plan of care with anyone of your choosing. You’re not obligated to seek further care at Pinnacle Pain and Spine, although many do. It is simply our goal to provide those in pain with the best information to make confident healthcare decisions.
Call now to get your second opinion.

Pinnacle Pain and Spine
Excellent!!! During my first visit with Dr. Crooks he had already reviewed my MRI, previous doctor notes, and images. I felt very welcomed with Dr. Crooks and Ramona his nurse! They are both very knowledgeable and caring! My pain is in my cervical area, Dr. Crooks and I disgusted my treatment plan and he thoroughly explained everything to me. I just moved to Arizona from Florida and he has been an excellent Physician! I received a few injections, due to being terribly in pain on my first office visit. I was able to schedule my procedure 2 days later. I was so thankful to have it scheduled! He is truly an amazing Doctor! I would definitely recommend Dr. Crooks! I felt he treated his patients as if they were his own family. He actually took the time to discuss what concerns you have, and what he recommended, and could help with. I am a patient at the Scottsdale office and the staff was very helpful as well. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Crooks! Ramona also was a very sweet, caring, and a magnificent Nurse. She took her time with you as well and I never felt rushed or as if they were to busy to take on a new patient. Definitely an outstanding and wonderful Doctor!
Matthew "Dr. Miracle-worker" Crooks was my latest attempt since 2002 of four other "back specialists". Matthew having studied my previous MRIs decided that RFA was the most likely treatment for success while being the least invasive. He setup an aggressive schedule and only 3 days ago I had my first Lumbar right side RFA. His staff have the process down to a very quick 15-30 minute procedure (although with sedation I remember nothing from when Matthew came in the room until just before my wife drove me home). In total honesty the very next morning is the first time in ten years that I have had NO pain at all, easily stood up straight and wasn't grasping for every wall or counter top as had become normal when attempting to walk. Having not used sedation for the test procedures I know that the scheduling, preparatory, procedure and followup staff were very polite and fun yet super professional at their jobs. After 3 days I am feeling random Lumbar area pain in specific locations, duration, and intensity as the nerves fight their eventual desensitizing of 12-18 pain free months! Danielle, Juliet, Romona, Jay, Kathy, Danny, and Dr. Miracle Worker (and anyone I missed) - MANY THANKS!!

I can not say enough good things about Dr Crooks and the Pinnacle Pain Staff/Team. I had back pain for nearly 3 years and Dr. Crooks has given me the ability to a full night sleep after my procedure. I was hesitant at first as I fear injections but the staff and Dr Crooks do such a great job at making me feel better. I greatly appreciate his time and consideration, he is a very caring person and a GREAT physician. I highly recommend PPSC- Thank you Dr Crooks!!!!
I came to Dr Crooks with a number of issues which prevented me from living a full and enjoyable life. In a few months Dr Crooks has me back on the golf course, bending over to wash my face and able to lift my leg enough to pull slacks on. I had almost given up thinking I’d ever be able to perform any of these simple tasks and can’t put into words how happy I am every day. Thanks Dr Crooks.
