I'm left crying over and over and this last time I couldn't even speak I felt so bad about myself from how horrible he was treating me. He had never cared about me and my health. Dr Rumery was the kindest doctor and truly cares and listened and wanted to help and always supported and wanted and found ways to help. From the first visit I was mistreated and I have anxiety days before each visit eith Dr Khan I have never been so mistreated. He is cold, doesn't listen forgets what he says he's going to do then lies. Years have gone by and my health has worsened because he brushed off my care. Dr Rumery warned me about him the surgery center did the ultrasound techs and I still was pressured. No one shoudk be mistreated, the way he treats patients. I have heard okther patients leave crying and yelling. Even a northbay patient. Northbay used to stand for compassionate care.. Dr Khan is not compassionate nor good care.. he is cruel, doesn't listen and truly affends people. Esp the truly disabled chronically ill. I've never been treated so badly. I've complained before nothing changed. He does it to me cause he can. I have nightmares. I can't see him again after what he just did to me recently I can't. He hung up on me after how bad he t treated me. Then he just hung up on me after belittling me. I feel less of a human and I feel uncomfortable and not safe with him with my care.. Northbay should care about their patients their have been so many complaints:( zero starts

This is a MUST READ if you want a real review** I find many…read morepeople today leave complaints instead of an actual review of fact. I have been a patient of Dr. T. For over 8 years. I came to him after many surgeries and on constant prescriptions of opioid meds. You must understand that one needs to take personal responsibility and be honest with themselves and their Doctors. If you only want prescription meds then Do Not come to this place. It is NOT a pill mill. It is a place you come to to work on solutions and treatments to minimize pain. I deal with severe chronic pain and have had great relief from Dr. T. He is not my buddy.....he is my doctor. I don't go there to talk about my weekend....he is a more methodical dr. and is to the point but cares greatly about his patients! I have not always left there feeling better....real relief is a process and sometimes one procedure isn't successful so we regroup and find one that is. It is about the long haul and I have had a better quality of life by far than when I arrived there. I have not had opioid meds for some time now and do not live like a zombie and longer. I have heard people scream at the doctor because he wouldn't give them narcotics without the proper exams, MRI's X-rays etc. for me that is a breath of fresh air since the docs before I came to him loaded me up on that stuff. Be patient, be honest and don't have un-realistic expectations. First time appointments take a long time but I promise they get better after that. I have had surgeries at Stanford and I tell you this....his skill with needles and injection treatments are superior to anywhere I have been before....far less discomfort. Most of the negative reviews I see are from people who just did t get what they want....that is not a review it is a complaint without actual fact. Thanks of you took the time to read this.

I should have known to walk away after the first visit. Dr. Tarasenko is avoidant and appears uncomfortable with a transparent conversation about the procedures he will perform on patients. He is very vague when answering questions, and during my visit, he actually rolled his eyes when I informed him of the side effects I experienced from the injections during my first visit--side effects he would have known about if his office had followed protocol and had me wait 30 minutes before allowing me to leave and drive--I am traumatized. The girls at the front desk are highly unprofessional. There is still holiday (Christmas) decor in the office (it is April), and the office has an overall uncomfortable feeling. I asked my primary care physician to please refer me to a different doctor because anytime a doctor appears uncomfortable and avoidant with answering basic questions about a medical procedure that will affect your body, that is a serious red flag. This establishment should be examined.

I…read morewas with a pain management clinic in Oakland for many, many years, and they could never compare to the level of care I'm receiving now. For the first time, I truly feel heard and seen at Napa Pain Institute. With my previous pain management, I constantly had to argue just to get proper dosing for my medications. I suffer from a severe sciatic pinched nerve, multiple bulged discs, and issues with both knees -- one of which needs a replacement. From day one, Dr. Grigsby offered real solutions, including a spine stimulator, to help manage the pain that never fully goes away. Even medicated, I'm usually at a 5 or 6 out of 10, and before coming here, I lived at a 10 every day.They were finally able to medicate me appropriately, and they're still working on adjusting things to get me to a better place. I can't thank Napa Pain Institute enough. Every department has been great with me -- even medical records, who waited almost two months for my records without giving me any issues.I especially want to thank Dr. Grigsby and whoever in the office helped get me in sooner. Instead of waiting two months for my initial appointment, they got me in within about two weeks of my first call. I have no words -- you all have been amazing to me, and I plan on staying with your office as long as you'll have me.Thank you, T. Brandyteresa76@gmail.com

After over a year of working with several other doctors and staff that refused to acknowledge the…read moreMRI results, only offered low efficacy treatment, and defaulted to gaslighting, this was the first place that actually treated me like a human being. They provide logical explanations on my symptoms and different treatment options that are actually effective. For the first time in over a year, I have finally had relief and am getting my life back. I only wish I found them sooner. Note, they do require a referral, even if you have a PPO. Once they get that, they are very responsive.

Recently, I was reviewing documents on my Napa Orthopedics profile. Under attendees it shows I saw the PA and the DR. Not the case!! Needless to say, I won't be going back to Dr Weisbein.

Dr. Jacqueline Weisbein has a very aggressive bedside manner. When she came in the room (first time…read moremeeting me) she sat down with her arms crossed and said, "So what's wrong with you?" I just had major surgery to have stage 4 endometriosis removed from multiple organs. I even had my appendix removed during the extensive abdominal surgery. She seemed uninterested in my post-operative report. My insurance company dropped me two days before the surgery and she yelled at me to stop crying and told me to get insurance. I did, & then her office was very rude to me over the phone & they didn't even call to confirm my appointment beforehand. I have over 20 years of medical trauma from being misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety when in reality I have had one of the most painful conditions. Dr. Weisbein's demeanor completely changed when her next patient (an older male) walked in and she quickly changed her tone and said, "hello my love!" to him. Bottom line- ladies!!! Don't go to this woman. She's mean. *I almost forgot to mention, when I told her I was in a car accident, she said it was against her policy to talk about more than one injury at a time. *Go to Dr. Eric Grigsby or Dr Melanie Johansson if you need real help and you are a woman. They are experienced and non-biased unlike Jaqueline. *Thank you for your apology for your aggression & I hope you do better for future patients. I am finding better/more experienced/better equipped doctors for my needs.

I was so impressed she took the time to study my situation before we even met. I had originally met her at the Pain Institute and I followed her to her new office at California Pain Specialists.. what an upgrade! The office is immaculately clean, the staff is attentive and professional. I had not seen her for a few months but she immediately remembered my history and relayed it to her staff. It took over 20 years to get a diagnosis so I have my fair share of medical trauma, dealing with one of the most painful diseases. It has been so refreshing to finally be able to put trust into my healthcare team. Dr. Melanie Johansson is truly a gem of a Doctor, I'm grateful to be reunited with her.
