I like Dr. Micah Dickey as a doctor. Great bedside manner, listens, is empathetic. But the reason…read morefor the stars is because his office staff (in Oxnard) is all over the place. EVERYTIME I need a referral, I end up having to call back and follow up a minimum of 4 times. His nurse Amanda is just as incompetent. I had to correct her several times and bring in my children's medical records repeatedly to get her to correct her mistakes. As a business owner, I would never have put up with that on going behavior. The only reason why I have lasted this long in his office is because of him and when I was getting ready to change, COVID hit and I just haven't vetted a new office. His poor front reception employees are sweet and aware of the issues with some of the other support staff. Until he takes action cleaning up his operation, I would choose a different doctor's office. Update: This post was an effort to explain my personal experience with the Oxnard office. I don't appreciate one of the employees that I had an issue about trying to censor the review. Instead, they should spend the effort trying to take it onboard and trying to improve on what may be lacking.

I am extremely grateful to him as he has stepped up to the plate to correct, as best possible per the CDC, the lack of care I had previously and that left me for dead. Dr. Nguyen has been present at my appointments and re-opened the door to some quality of life. Unfortunately, the damage done via my previous pain doc, by ignoring the results of required MRI's and my pleas for help, Dr. Nguyen was dealt a heavy hand. Because earlier detection was ignored, there is only so much he can do. But he is doing it nonetheless. Pain patients will be assisted greatly by Dr. Nguyen as well as an upcoming hand book entitled "Pain Dismissed" to be published 2024 iwhich will assist them in how best to navigate potentially treacherous territory amidst the regulations assigned by the CDC, wherein ALL pain is treated the same regardless of their injuries and resultant pain. I hope this review provides for hope for others. There are still a few good doctors out there but be sure that an MD is going to be present at your appointments before you sign on as, otherwise, you can easily land in a life and death situation without proper help aboard.

My experience has ONLY to do with the office staff here. Also know the doctors do not respond to…read morethese ratings. The OFFICE girls do and are even rude with their responses. My life the last many years with chronic pain hasn't been easy. Nobody would understand that who has not experienced chronic pain themselves. I had to have 4 surgeries in the 3 years. 2 of them were in the last 5 months for a precancerous condition. I had to reschedule my SI Joint injection a few times, because you have to space your anesthesia apart and I had to have these 2 surgeries immediately. When I called 1 week before my scheduled SI joint injection to see if I could postpone it a few days due to my back being out and I physically could not move, Stephanie was unbelievably rude to me. I was on speaker. I had a friend sitting next to me who had been helping me. Stephanie rudely responded "you've rescheduled like 6 times already." I told her I've had to have many surgeries and I've only rescheduled for those reasons. She then rudely responded "I have to put you on hold." It went dead silent and we thought we were on hold, so my friend looked at me and said "what a b***h." Immediately Stephanie said "I heard that! You just called me the "B" word and I'm telling my boss and I'm hanging up on you!" First of all, I never said it, second of all, neither of us would ever say that for anyone to hear! We are kind, respectful people. We were supposed to have been put on hold. Not a "fake" hold. My friend was just speaking her thoughts to me. Especially because she knows all the hell I have been going through. That's how rude Stephanie was being. Before she hung up on me I was trying to say "wait! Let me explain." I called back and tried to speak with her and explain my friend said that to me not ever meaning for Stephanie to hear it. I spoke with Paula, the manager. I was pouring my heart out crying, apologizing, and sending my apologies to her from my friend as well, who said it not ever meaning for her to hear that. I explained how desperate I was to get my SI joint infection from Dr Phillip Nguyen. My last one gave me 2 months of living without pain. She said she'd call me back that day and she didn't. I called again the next day. Paula told me they would not accept me as a patient anymore. I truly do not think Dr Nguyen knew about "their" decision. No matter what response is given on here, it will be the office girls and most likely false information. Everything I state is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I decided to call the surgical center and they were so nice. I even told them about the situation I had with the office girls. They said I was still on the surgical schedule and to come. So that morning I called the surgical center to confirm. They said I was on the schedule. My mom was on her way to pick me up and Paula that manager called me and said "you are not to go to your surgery! You are off the schedule! We are calling the surgery center to make sure of it." And that's what they did. I truly don't think Dr Phillip Nguyen decided himself not to take me as a patient. The office girls did everything in their power to keep me from getting my injection. If they only knew the pain I endure every day of my life. Stopping someone from getting pain relief because of lack of forgiveness is sad. It's obvious this office is run with a true lack of empathy. The reviews speak for themselves. The negative reviews are mostly about the front desk staff. Their responses to patient's reviews are vile. Remember, it's them responding, not the doctors. If you are able to get past the rudeness of the office staff, I would truly recommend Dr Phillip Nguyen for pain management. Meanwhile I have to start over with referrals and waiting months for appointments because of the lack of forgiveness and empathy here. For something that I personally didn't say or my friend meant for her to hear. I hope those girls never have to experience chronic pain like I have. I will find a way to get a hold of Dr Nguyen and tell him my story.

Dr. Cathy Kim is beyond description! She is the very rare physician who is also an amazing person…read more She cannot be defined nor does she fit into any box. She is a courageous pioneer who does not accept the common limits of medicine that pain sufferers often encounter. She stays by your side, never judging and always trusting her patients. Dr. Kim takes the time, she never gives up, to deeply understand and problem-solve with her patients. She does NOT do a quick visit, prescribe meds and send you off. Instead, she observes how you move, what you do routinely and like a detective, starts to chip away at what the root causes are that challenge your health. You might get a "quick fix" simply because she is brilliant but generally her patients will spend time, do their homework and invest in their new improved health with her as a team partner/leader. After months of working with Dr. Cathy Kim, I can highly recommend her as a physician who is unlike any other. She has taught me how to correct the way I move, stand and sit so as not to further hurt myself. We have gradually relieved my physical pain in multiple areas. It took 70 years for my body to become what it is so the changes are gradual but completely encouraging! Dr. Kim is a treasure! Besides her extreme intellect, she is a gifted, animated communicator and teacher. She goes to great lengths to make her points even if she has to get on the floor to demonstrate, show photos on her phone or share true stories from her diverse practice. Thank you Dr. Kim for giving me hope, caring above and beyond and for being YOU! I will always appreciate the gifts you have shared that have dramatically improved my health, life and happiness.

Dr. warwar treated the immediate problem with cortizone as well as ordered xray imaging and physical therapy. During the initial visit, Dr. Warwar became concerned with my thyroid and the way that is was protruding from my neck. I had had a lump there since the last time I saw an MD and they said it was fine, so I forgot about it. With no symptoms, Dr. Warwar still decided I needed a biopsy after an Xray showed multiple growths. Turns out after following up with recommended Endocrinologist Dr. Westhoff I was diagnosed with Papillary thyroid cancer at 27 years old. With an early diagnosis I am able to remove the thyroid without much complication in the future other than a pill daily. Without Dr. Warwar, I truly believe this is something I would have not immediately, if ever, be worried about or even conscious of. Not only being my first consult with him, but with having a whole different issue bring me in, I am just impressed and more than grateful for what was potentially a life saving call. I will recommend Dr. Warwar to anyone I meet and continue to share this story because health CARE is so hard to come by now a days.

The most recent episode started with two pharmacy requests, three followup calls from me, a supervisor response guaranteeing an immediate renewal, then a renewal for only a few days of meds.
