David Gaskin at Republic Pain Specialist in Bryan has truly been a blessing to our family. His care has changed my husband’s life for the better—not only with managing his pain, but also with the symptoms he struggles with from PTSD. The difference in his quality of life has been incredible.
For me personally, David has always been kind, compassionate, helpful, and supportive, especially during those times when pain can make everything feel overwhelming. He listens, he cares, and you never feel like you’re just another patient walking through the door.
Because of the care we’ve received, my husband and I both feel like we’ve gotten a piece of our younger selves back. We’re moving, living, laughing, and enjoying life again—and that is something you simply can’t put a price on.
We are incredibly grateful for David and the entire team at Republic Pain Specialist. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough.
Saved my life and my sanity. I have ehlers danlos and pots and fibro and mcas and gastro paresis and so many more I don’t have time to put it all here. David helped me find a plan for my pain issues that works for me. I have been seeing him for about 2 years now and I want to say thank you for your support and caring. It’s hard to find healthcare providers who actually care about their patients.
David Gaskin will always hold a special place in my heart.
My oldest daughter became very sick, and after 8 months of complete agony, countless hospital stays, an NG feeding tube, and a diagnosis of “post-COVID gastric nerve issues” and POTS, we left our final 11-day hospital stay feeling completely hopeless.
Then I came across a TikTok video about David Gaskin and how he had helped others struggling with post-COVID issues. I immediately reached out, and he graciously agreed to review my daughter’s medical records and take her on as a patient.
We made the 3-hour trip to his office, and he was truly a Godsend. He helped my daughter get back to being a normal teenager. With his care, we were able to remove her feeding tube and significantly reduce the medications she needed.
Four years later, she is a thriving young woman who is able to live life like she was meant to. I will forever be grateful to this man for giving my daughter hope and helping her find her way back to herself.
For years I suffered through bone on bone pain. I wish I had known about the Radio-frequency Nerve Ablation sooner.
I just appreciate Dr. Gaskin and his entire staff for all of their very personal professionalism and unbelievable dedication to alleviating all of the pain in both of my knees. If you suffer pain from walking or just standing, I highly recommend calling and getting an appointment for yourself or someone you know that struggles with just standing, walking and especially climbing stairs.
Just 45 minutes or less per knee and you will be walking pain free the second you are off the table. Again, thank you so very much Dr. Gaskin. You are definitely a God send.
Absolutely amazing people! I am so thankful for Dr. David, nurse Crystal and the SGB injections!!! Y’all are changing lives and giving people a sense of life!! I’m forever grateful.
Jaime had covid almost 2 years ago. She hasn’t smelled since and taste has been off. I learned of a procedure that was having some success at an anesthesia conference. It is called a stellate ganglion block (SGB). Well a CRNA in Bryan, TX who has his own pain clinic was having success with this block. We flew to Houston then drove two hours to his clinic. After two blocks Jaime CAN SMELL AGAIN!!! And the bad taste she constantly had in her mouth is GONE!!
I can’t say enough good things about David Gaskin. God has blessed him with knowledge and skill and he is putting those things together to change people’s lives!
He spent almost an hour explaining not just the block but everything he has learned and is continuing to learn about SGB and long covid. Just a fascinating guy! Again thank you David and all the staff at Republic Pain Specialist.
I developed parosmia in September of 2021 and could not eat anything. I lost around 20 pounds and decided I had to do something or I was going to starve. I began eating with nose plugs and never went out to eat. I began following a parosmia site in search of help on Facebook and started seeing a lot of talk about David Gaskin and Republic Pain Specialist. I finally decided to take the leap and drive 9 hours to Bryan, Texas.
David and his team completed 2 stellate ganglion blocks on me. I immediately saw results after the first shot. He and his team are so courteous and make you feel so good about the procedure. I believe they are truly in this business to help people! David and his team are doing so much research for Parosmia patients and they are truly a Godsend! I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me! They have given me my life back!
Amazing people that are extremely knowledgeable.
I am not one to see a medical professional but this was the best decision ever. My neck and back have hurt for years and I got relief pretty quick. David was also helpful with some pain in my hands. I’ve got to admit, I was skeptical but sure glad I listened to my oh so smart wife and took the plunge! 😊😊hahaha (You can stop it and sure glad I went!)
You all know that I have been having a knee problem for the past few years now. And I went to see David Gaskin and man was it one of the best ideas I have had in a long time!! Lol! He found out on what was going on with my knee and it feels like I have a brand new knee!! Thanks again sir! I will so be recommending him to others!!
I am a new mom and consequently developed SI joint pain on my right side. David has been able to alleviate my pain so I can get back to exercise and caring for my baby girl! The procedure was quick and painless. Highly recommended!
Went in to see Mr. Gaskin regarding some back pain that I’ve had for years. He heard me out and asked me to do some stretches and movements and figured out that it was my SI joint causing me issues. He gave me a shot that was pain free(because I’m a huge baby when it comes to needles) and I’ve been lower back pain free going on two months now. I would recommend him to anyone having daily pain. Very affordable and a great doctor. I will definitely be back if I have to be.
I have had back pain for years with some days sever and the rest of the time a dull ache. With a big vacation coming up I wanted to be pain-free and able to physically do anything I wanted so, I went to see if Mr. Gaskin could help me. I was terrified of injections but my pain overrode my fears. I am shocked as to how easy the injections were. Mr. Gaskin was not only thorough with my assessment but talked me through every detail of his treatment which really gave me peace of mind. His staff is also very supportive and made me feel very comfortable helping to calm my nerves. I told Mr. Gaskin that if he could help me, I would make sure everyone knew that he was the best around! And I always keep my word!!!
