    I'd already left one review but after an encounter just yesterday, I HAD to come back again. His…read morestaff are completely incompetent and undereducated. At one time BEFORE the Dr. was a part of some consortium or something (called West Coast Neurology...none of whom are good, caring doctors) there was just one set of staff. They were competent. I had no issues with their work. After he separated and got his own staff (which I'll also note have NO diversity at all) have been horrible and uum, not very bright/intelligent. This matters! As a patient you want competent, well trained folks involved in your health care (medications, etc). On a prior occasion his staff didn't understand simple middle-school math which MatterS, especially when it comes to meds' dosage, for goodness sake. Yesterday I called to fix a situation with not receiving my meds. The pharmacy refused to fill my RX because of the errors made by Dr. B's staff, specifically Sajona (per the pharmacy who actually spoke with her). She had put in order for my meds to be in the form of syringes. I've NEVER received them in that way except for once by Dr.B staff error that time too. My meds are supposed to be auto-injectors. I was referred to Dr. B's assistant, Arianna, to correct this mistake, along with Another mistake with the same meds. My last rct. of these meds was too much. I received a 3 month supply all at once. I'm supposed to receive only a 30-day/one month supply at a time. This needs to be refrigerated. Auto injections take up a lot of space in the fridge and/so 3 mos. worth is too much, not to mention the 'freshness/viabilty' aspect. Arianna claimed that this was an error on the part of the authorizing medical MedRx because said the Dr.'s original order was for a 3mo. supply. I told her that she was Wrong, I've had this Dr. for at least 10 years and never got 3 mos. supply all at once except for now.The Dr. has to reissue/redo Authorizations for these meds every 3mos. but Not a 3 month supply. I had to explain this to Aurianna, and I, the patient shouldn't have to explain Her job to her. She insisted that she was looking at the Dr.s order and it was 4 a 3month supply. She refused to take accountability for HER lack of knowledge and said that the insurer must have changed their rules to authorize 3mos. Wrong! I was in a 3-way call with both the Med-RX people and Molina. Med RX pulled my info. and said the Dr.s order was for a 30-day supply only! When I called back to the Dr.s office (and I called Before the end of the office hours) suddenly NO ONE answered the phone! Interesting (because I know they have caller ID/ can see the # that's calling). Incompetent, non-educated, unprofessional, passing the buck, not taking accountability describes this Dr.s staff, periodt! I'm diligently searching elsewhere!

    I was in a car accident that changed my life for the worst back in 2018. For about 10 months after…read morethe accident, I had daily vomiting from the pain I was in. I will keep a long story short, and say that I was able to access a better network of doctors by getting insurance through my workplace instead of through Covered CA. Dr. Brizuela promised me that he would partner with me to improve my condition and health and refer to experts for anything he couldn't figure out. HE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I am not crier. But every time I am in his office and tell him how I'm feeling better and slowly but surely returning to "normal" activities, I start crying when I feel the hope swell up within me to return to my life of health and fitness. (I was training for my first bikini competition prior to the car accident.) He is very kind, empathetic, and truly listens to your concerns and responds with kindness and care that improves your condition. If you are looking for an excellent, top-notch neurologist, look no further because Dr. Brizuela will change your life for the better. Thank you, Dr. Brizuela, for helping me on my journey of becoming myself again instead of a shadow of who I used to be.

    I am giving Socal Neurology Consultants a mixed review not because of the quality of the doctors…read morebut because of how unbelievably disorganized the office is. I have seen Dr. Adina Shahinian who is absolutely wonderful and ultimately the most important part is to have a highly competent doctor, which Dr S is. The problem seems to be however that the office is terribly run. They never answer the phone and they never call you back. I have called this office and the phone has rung 20 times. In other situations the phone messaging system says there are too many messages and I can't leave a message. In other situations when I've had to cancel an appointment I get a barrage of text messages saying my appointment is coming up and I have to check in for it even though I have canceled the appointment both by leaving a message and responding to the text to say I cannot make the appointment. When I actually do have an appointment and go into the office to see Dr Shahinian, the staff are very nice so I find it quite baffling that they seem incapable of navigating their phone problems. it creates a situation where patients don't feel that the office is well run and like it or not that reflects poorly on the doctors. This has been going on for the entire three years that I have been a patient there so it seems to be a weirdly intractable issue. I have no idea if they read these reviews but you would think it would matter to them to get their act together because the actual care I have received by the Doctor has been terrific.

    i would start by saying many thanks for the great service and professionalism of this office,…read more i had authorization code issues and the appointment coordinator Elena help me during the process, she solved the issue and was able to make appointments, Thank you Elena for your efforts,,, i saw Dr. Tyler Cheung , he was very helpful and knowledgeable, he listened to my concerns and reviewed all my previous tests which he requested from my previous doctor , he took a minute and asked questions and did some in office exams, he gave me his opinion and planed a treatment path for me , thank you Dr Tyler ,,

    I have been a patient with several neurologists for the last 13 years after being diagnosed with…read morechronic migraines. The treatment that this office has provided me changed my life. It's difficult to express my gratitude that I have for doctor Apelian, his staff, and Emily Malm FNP. The girls in the front are always helpful even with all of my stupid questions. Jennifer has always been welcoming, helpful, considerate, and always a great conversation. Emily has started giving me my Botox injections and SHE IS THE BEST. Her and Dr. Apelian make quite the dream team. They listen, validate your concerns, and empathize with your struggles. I wish I began my treatment here and skipped all the gaslighting I received at other offices. I leave this office I feeling like family. I have recommended this office to others with confidence that they will receive the highest level of care. This office represents what health care SHOULD be. I love each and everyone of them. I have a treatment plan that works for me, I can FINALLY live my life without fear. I now know what works and can take the steps I need to prevent or treat a migraine. I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!... and it's all thanks to them.

Hands down, Dr. Apelian is the best doctor specializing in epilepsy. He was very detailed in the next steps and found his transparency to be refreshing. I can't thank him enough for taking to answer the whole list of questions I had. His bedside manner is compassionate and caring even when I was balling my eyes out, his confidence and expertise put my mind at ease. I can't thank him enough for everything. He is a game changer. If you suffer from epilepsy, definitely recommend Dr. Apelian. His office staff is amazing and are helpful with any insurance questions you have.
