  I've been with Dr. James Sturm and his terrific crew for many years now. He's the kind of Dr. that really gets to know you and your pain problems. And they have done an excellent job dealing with my osteoarthritis pain. Dr. Sturm has gone out of his way to accommodate me several times when I wasn't able to come to his office by using SKYPE. His crew does a great job of helping if you have a problem. I recommend Arch Advanced Pain Management 100% and 5 Stars.

  I tried the Drip "Speakeasy" during my latest visit. It was and will continue to be an amazing experience! The room design is wonderful and very well put together. The "cocktail" made my day, weekend, feel like I was in my 20s. (See what I did there?!) Staff is amazing. Doc is one of a kind. If you have pain issues, this should and will be your last stop.

"Dr Sturm took the time to sit with me, discuss what’s going on, and lay out a plan. He wasn’t just going through the motions and checking boxes. After struggling for years to feel better I feel like I’m finally in the right place. Such a relief!"
