I specifically asked in writing about the cost of a new patient consultation before scheduling…read more During the scheduling phone call the fee discussed was $75. The confirmation email I received listed only the appointment time, address, and parking information -- it contained no mention of any consultation fee. On the day of the visit I was charged $750. When I questioned the amount, I was told that was the correct fee based on our prior conversation. I left the experience feeling the consultation fee had not been clearly or accurately disclosed in advance. The office itself also raised concerns. There was no secretary or front-desk staff, and the space is shared with a beauty salon, chiropractic office, and other services. All communication was handled directly by the doctor. The lack of transparent pricing has left me with no choice but to file a claim in small claims court to resolve the matter.

He also thinks that he knows more than other doctors, which also is a red flag. Most good doctors collaborate with other MD's in their field when they have a hard case, Dr. Li does not. He also will not refer you to Stanford or UCSF like he should, if he can't help you. The staff turnover rate speaks for itself. He also has a MD working there currently that is prescribing pain meds even though he has been disciplined by the medical board for over prescribing opiates on multiple occasions.

FIVE stars for my pain MD BUT ZERO stars for scheduling department and archaic phone system…read more Instead of a phone system that returns your call, a phone system from the previous millennium that tells you that they are busy and plays Muzak while you are on hold for a 1/2hour. You then get an operator who can never help you. Her job is to transfer you. You have been on hold for a 1/2hour because they claim the scheduling department does NOT have a direct line. Sometimes the operator misdirects your call thus after you sit listening to Muzak for a 2nd 1/2hour, you are redirected again so you can again listen to Muzak for a 3rd 1/2 hour. After one-and-a-half hours on hold you will be given a procedure date (many months in the future) but will not be given a time until the afternoon before. NOT able to provide a date AND time = unacceptable system!

Pain Management denied my family member the ability to schedule an appointment, despite her having…read morea serious condition -- intestinal failure -- and significant medical needs. When we asked for an explanation, we were not given a clear reason why she could not be evaluated or seen.

At the beginning of September, I pulled or pinched something in my back and was in so much pain…read morethat I could barely walk or fully extend my legs. I was referred to Dr. Wu at Icon Chiropractic Center, and I'm so glad I went! My first impression when I walked into the office was how clean and tidy everything was. Even the air smelled fresh! They have an air filter that actually gave me a nostalgic feeling because I used to have the same kind when I was younger. My first appointment included the usual paperwork, evaluations, X-rays, and checking my range of motion. When I tell you I was in pain I mean I was literally in tears and could barely move. After just a few appointments with gentle adjustments and laser therapy, I noticed a HUGE difference. It helped A LOT! Now, three weeks later, I feel close to normal again, and my range of motion is back. By far, this is the best chiropractor I've been to--and I've been to a few. Dr. Wu and the entire staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone greets you by name, which makes the experience feel much more personal. What I also really appreciate is that they don't just adjust you and send you on your way. They educate you on what's happening with your body and teach you ways to help prevent the problem from happening again. They even offer monthly educational classes covering different health and wellness topics. I'm extremely happy with my experience and the progress I've made. I definitely recommend Icon Chiropractic Center!

I previously had a highly unsuccessful surgery at a major pain clinic (Stanford). That procedure was done with no sedation, was torture-like, and ultimately failed to reach the nerve. In addition, it left me with years of forehead numbness and extra pain. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Polsunas. He quickly identified the root cause (the responsible nerve), treated it with Botox, and solved the problem. For the first time in years, I can finally enjoy reading again!

Anthem/Blue Cross deemed that my patient responsibility was only .63 cents, so the insurance company sent a payment to Allied in the amount of $3,793.67 in December 2024 and now Allied's patient services/billing department refuses to refund my credit card for this amount. Not only did Allied keep my money, but they are also pocketing money from Anthem, which has been deemed fraudulent by Anthem and they are now engaging in an investigation into Allied. Save yourself the emotional turmoil and run arounds, and just go elsewhere. Hard lesson learned on my part. EDIT: Anthem/Blue Cross' Grievances Department just mailed the attached letter on January 10, 2025 stating that I am due a refund of $3,793.67 and my financial responsibility is $.63 cents. The continued denial by Allied that "no monies" are owed to me is baffling. This company will indeed engage in fraudulent activity.
