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.

I started bringing a family member with me at all times to appointments just because the way he spoke to me was so unprofessional, and they all agreed witnessed how he would berate, speak down to and invalidate anything I said, because to Cabaret since I didn't have a physical handicap, my pain wasn't valid to him - even though I had several autoimmune conditions with chronic pain as well as severe rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disc conditions... After ~2 years of this I stopped seeing him altogether: I couldn't deal with graveling for help for months and receiving treatment here or there while enduring being talked to and treated in such a horrible way. I actually gave up on pain management docs for ~8 years because of experiences here... I powered through pain for so long I ended up with an TLIF spinal fusion with disc replacement due to severe central canal stenosis after going to ER for back pain, I was put in an ambulance for an emergency spinal surgery on a Sunday to prevent paralysis (I was riding my motorcycle through the pain of severe central canal stenosis that required ambulatory transfer and emergency spinal fusion surgery on a Sunday). I was fortunate to finally receive compassionate care from both a neurosurgeon and pain management doctor as recovered (located in Ventura). About a year after my spinal fusion: I needed a facet block and MBB RFA due to nerve pain that never resolved after the surgery. My quality of life is so much better - I feel like I am part of the living again. I hate medications and the side effects of them, but sometimes they are necessary, and sometimes injections or surgical procedures are also necessary for relief. Thankfully, now I see physicians who are compassionate and listen to both visible and invisible pain and will work to find the root cause of it - all while treating me with decency, like I'm a human being.

I have been seeing Cabaret since 2022. At that time I was seeking injections for painful joints. 5…read moreminutes into the appt he told me I had fibromyalgia & injections wouldn't help. I begged him & he finally injected my shoulder. The next visit I begged him to inject my other shoulder, which he did after a lecture about fibromyalgia. He said my pain was due to PTSD, in spite of multiple positive MRIs. I've had 2 neck fusions, lumbar fusion, knee replacement & I just had a shoulder replacement a week ago. It was the 3rd NP at Cabaret's office that got my shoulder MRI after injections stopped working. The NPs were willing to inject my shoulders . It was completely destroyed bone on bone. I've since been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I've gone to other ortho docs for injections, because since I've been there I've gone thru 3 NPs & now a PA. My rheumatologist has sent him notes asking him to inject my SI joints, but the PA said no, it's a trigger point. Every new employee thinks I have fibromyalgia, so no injection. He refused to manage my pain after back surgery, which led to me being under medicated, since the orthos can't order as much. The Cabaret PA gave me a week of pain meds after my shoulder replacement, & said they'd order more . The pharmacy called them for clarification, & they didn't respond. So here I am, 1 week after total shoulder replacement, & no pain meds overnight & until whenever. I know he's a great doc--but he misdiagnosed me.i will add it was the 2nd NP who recognized my very swollen hands and sent me to a rheumatologist, so that was good. She also got an MRI of my back, and was going to call me to set up a back injection. That never happened. She quit & I fell thru the cracks. I had to see another doc for the injection , since the wait time for Cabaret was months.

I've been his patient for almost two years, and in that time he's been instrumental to the diagnosis and management of my debilitating and confusing pain. Dr. Nassiri has perfect bedside manner; he's extremely personable, kind, high energy, warm, and has a sincere passion for helping people get better that comes through in everything he does. He's brilliantly smart and truly works with his patients as an advocate to leave no stone unturned in getting to the source of their pain. In every single one of our encounters he has gone so far above and beyond what was expected, because he genuinely cares. Truly, there's nothing else one could ask for in a medical practitioner. I'd recommend any family member, friend, and of course many strangers on the internet to the care of Dr. Nassiri. He is the doctor who you want on your side when you're in pain. Also, Priscilla at the desk is an absolute gem. This office runs so smoothly and is perfectly streamlined when it comes to making appointments and scheduling procedures. They've got it down to a science. Thank you, Westside Pain Specialists for being all around wonderful during the extremely difficult experience of living with pain. Would give 10 stars if I could!

The outcome was significantly worse than expected and had a lasting negative impact on my health and daily life. Within 24 hours of the procedure, I developed severe lower back pain along with a hematoma at the injection site. The pain was substantially greater than anything I experienced prior to the injection. Despite reporting these complications, I did not receive a clear explanation of what went wrong or meaningful guidance on how to manage the situation. I was left to cope with the consequences largely on my own. As a result, I had to return to anti-inflammatory medications to manage the pain, which persisted for over two month. This prolonged recovery disrupted my sleep, limited my mobility, and interfered with both my professional responsibilities and overall quality of life. Complete luck of accountability.
