Dr. De Laney was warm and welcoming, listened well and answered questions in an unhurried manner, and with terms that lay people can understand. She laid out plans that were clear and respectful of my needs. Nursing Assistant, JeShow moressica, was attentive and worked to accommodate to my schedule for follow up. The broken elevator (for any patients to access the second floor) is a barrier to care because the steep inclines were difficult for me to navigate safely. This is not a new issue and the landlord is delinquent and putting compromised patients at risk.
I would strongly recommend Dr. Delaney. I’ve been seeing her approximately two years. She has been very helpful with my neck Issues. I have been pain-free on my neck. Equally important she is easy to talk to, and fully explains whShow moreatever procedures she can, or cannot do. The staff is helpful and very informative, answering questions and making appointments.
Meet Dr. DeLaney
Leslie DeLaney, MD, is a board-certified pain management specialist at Balanced Pain Management in Walnut Creek, California. She considers it a unique honor to serve patients in the East Bay region in Northern California.
Dr. DeLaney became interested in the field of pain management while she was still a medical student at the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was during her anesthesiology rotation that she was introduced to this sub-specialty and was impressed by the doctors’ ability to perform nerve blocks to stop pain that patients, until then, had no choice but to “live with it.” Those doctors were able to relieve patients’ suffering quickly and profoundly, and they inspired her to do the same. It was at that point that she decided to do an anesthesiology residency and become a pain management specialist.
Dr. DeLaney received her training in anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Johns Hopkins Hospital continues to be the #1 training hospital in the world. In addition to learning in-depth pharmacology, physiology, and intraoperative anesthesiology, she learned about acute and chronic pain and worked with some of the pioneers in pain management while doing electives there.
Dr. DeLaney then chose to receive her formal pain management training in interventional pain medicine at The Cleveland Clinic Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland Clinic is world-renowned and the top hospital in the country for the treatment of chronic pain. During her fellowship, Dr. DeLaney concentrated on learning how to treat patients with intractable pain using injection techniques, medication management, and integrating psychology and physical therapy into a plan that would allow people to have a better quality of life.
Dr. DeLaney took her first position as a fully trained pain management specialist at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. She achieved the rank of Assistant Professor and maintained a successful pain management practice that involved treating all types of acute and chronic pain syndromes. Dr. DeLaney was also responsible for teaching medical students, residents, and fellows about the disease of chronic pain and how to treat it successfully.
Dr. DeLaney is board certified in both chronic pain management and anesthesiology and has published multiple papers on chronic pain management. She continues to give lectures at local and national medical meetings on pain management.
She is a member of the California Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Pain Association, the American Academy of Pain Management, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain.

Reviews
I’m very happy. I was able to get a full nights sleep with taking medication. Dr Delaney is fast and effective which I appreciate with a busy schedule.
Dr Delaney did the MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) procedure for me which fixed my lower back pain - I can walk without my back bothering me! She is kind and patient and professional. Highly recommended.

Very Professional. Sending time with me , listening and explaining what is going on and how to take care of my lower back.
Dr DeLaney is always on time, listening and professional. I thin I swing her for 7-8 years and I'm glad I have a Dr with such a dedication and correctitude. Would strongly recommend her services.
She knows what she is doing, she is an excellent doctor, she asks you questions that you can respond to and is a very good listener. She will give you some suggestions as to what can be done for you.
I would strongly recommend Dr. Delaney. I’ve been seeing her approximately two years. She has been very helpful with my neck Issues. I have been pain-free on my neck.

LISTENS, SEES, HEARS, RELIEVES PAIN,TAKES CARE..SHE IS AN EXCELENT PHYSICIAN
Dr Delaney's professionalism shows every visit and her staff are quick to help and make patients comfortable.
Great first impression!
I felt like Dr DeLaney was listening and hearing my concerns
Patiently explains procedures and alternatives
Dr DeLaney takes the time to listen and provides feedback. I was able to get 2 epidural blocks within a short amount of time. I would still be waiting for the first at another spine specialty center.
Successful treatment of my scoliosis.
I had high hopes for this appointment but sadly it wasn't good at all. I generally have high self-esteem, but Dr. Delaney made me feel terrible. I answered the 5 pages of questions and the tech's additional questions, Dr Delaney's demeanor was more like an interrogation than a Dr visit. For someone whose job it is to deal with people in pain, she seems to have no compassion. She had additional rapid fire questions for me and she seemed annoyed if I didn't have an exact answer. She said things like . "You've had this pain for 20 years, so why are you here? Really? She seemed annoyed at my primary care doctor's prescriptions for me. She was flip in her answers to me like "we all get that when we get older." Okay but that doesn't mean it hurts less! She seemed to imply that the condition my neck is in, is somehow my fault. The bottom line is that I didn't feel as though I got to ask questions or that my concerns were addressed. She seemed to have zero empathy or compassion. She offered next to nothing in solutions and made me feel like a wasted her time. I really couldn't say this was a positive experience!
Never a long wait, Friendly knowledgeable doctor and staff .
Dr. Delany has given me my life back. I'm more motivated and mobile because I have less pain.
She is a terrific doctor and person.

Warm, friendly & knowledgeable.
Pleased with experience. Too soon to determine final outcome.
Dr. DeLaney is an incredibly attentive doctor. She always greets me with a smile and is very attentive to my issues and concerns. She takes into account not only my physical health but also my emotional and mental state of mind, which I appreciate a lot. I have been experiencing chronic pain in my upper and lower spine for quite some time, and she is determined to provide me with the best possible treatment. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. DeLanny and her front office staff as well.
Always on point and very concerned with my health care
She listens...she understands...she addresses your pain and looks for solutions..most often with great success..I am so grateful for Dr. DeLaney

Dr.DeLaney is knowledgeable, kind and caring. The same is true for her staff
Totally thorough. Completely professional. Treatments are excellent and accomplished results. Dr. Delaney does not cut corners.
Dr. Delaney listened to all my concerns and then explained what she could do for my nerve pain. I would tell everyone who is in pain to see Dr. Delaney.
She knows what she’s doing.
