This review is for Sutter/the pain management clinic who work with Dr. Rejai. I waited weeks for an…read moreappointment for my severely herniated disc. While my appointment went well, the standard insurance paper work for a cortisone shot (the most common intervention other than pain meds) was rejected, and no one from the office followed up. There were no follow up notes after my appointment for next steps. My primary seemed very surprised that this routine procedure was denied which makes me suspect that they didn't do the minimal paperwork required. When you call 'the office', you reach someone at the main switchboard who presumably passes on a message which may or may not be returned. In my case, it was not even though I requested that they resubmit the paperwork. Keep in mind that many many people reaching out to a pain management doctor are in excruciating, debilitating pain. When I finally went in, I was barely able to walk and had to lie down during the appointment due to the extreme pain. Currently, I'm repeatedly leaving messages at the switchboard attempting to try to get my cortisone shot months after all medical staff I met with agreed that it was necessary. If you are in an acute, debilitating situation with your pain, I'd recommend you seek someone who runs a more responsive office.

My initial visit with Dr. Berger was great. She called in a CT scan at my local hospital and then…read moresaid she would review it for our next appointment. The next 6 months I was ghosted. I downloaded her app., left numerous messages there and with Dulce. I heard back from Dulce but she stated numerous times Dr. Berger would not reply so eventually she stopped returning my calls. I pursued as I felt I was owed more from my initial $900 payment. Eventually Dr. Berger did send a short note stating certain injections may help and to see someone more locally. Hopefully I'm one of the only ones that got lost in the shuffle because 6 months of my physical life was put on a stand still because of Comfort Clinic

I am not local and have traveled from hours away to receive treatment from Dr. Berger and their amazing staff. It is always a welcoming experience with the focus being on what I need, and what treatment is best for my specific individual needs. I received Botox and a PRP facial with radio frequency and my skin looked and felt amazing after! I always feel valued, seen, and heard every time. I can't wait to go back! If you're looking for high quality medical care and treatment this clinic is perfect for you.

I was able to see him the same day my wife found him online. Within a few hours all my issues and concerns were gone. He was very professional. He was able to give me all the information I asked for and so much more. Very intelligent but not arrogant. He made me extremely comfortable talking about my health problems. Hella nonjudgmental! He didn't rush me or seem like he was in a hurry to end the appointment. He explained the path we were going to take with my medication thoroughly. We discussed past, present and future. He called in my medication directly after my appointment. He also checked in on me and my wife the next day. I recommend contacting Dr.Adam. He made me change my mind about Doc's. - Nick

I was referred to this practitioner during the summer of 2025. I was on my way to a hip replacement…read moreand was in excruciating pain. He was over one hour late for my appointment, taking another patient first, even though I was scheduled for the first appointment. There was no apology from him. He insisted I go off the pain med I was on and was forced to endure excruciating pain for several days before the new med took effect, with nothing to bridge the gap in meds. His office assistant is beyond unhelpful and couldn't have cared less that I was in terrible pain. This office treated me as if I was a drug addict, dismissed my concerns and was unresponsive to my needs, even though evidence of my upcoming surgery was available. I would never, ever be willing to see this Practioner again! He and his assistant were a menace to my comfort and well being as a patient.

After a long drive to Seattle and back last summer I developed a severe sciatica problem. It was…read moreonly getting worse over time, despite my attempts at healing with massage, chiropractic visits and regular yoga practice. By chance, I stumbled across mentions of Alexander Technique and became curious, eventually finding a teacher in my area (Susan!) to help. After just four sessions with Susan, my pain is gone. I feel slight echos of it sometimes, and they serve as reminders to keep my newly found walking and sitting habits. Susan was able to immediately spot the problems in my walking pattern. We also discussed and adjusted the way I sit at the desk, drive, get up and down, position my head in conversation, etc... The unnecessary muscular tension caused me so much pain. In addition to being very effective as a teacher, Susan is a pleasure to interact with as a person: warm, kind, attentive and inspiring. Her Berkeley studio is also a very charming space!

I went to Susan for help with a dance injury, which had become chronic due to…read more a) weight bearing, b) favoring the non-injured extremity to protect against pain and re-injury, and c) chronic muscular compensation, which happened when healing was delayed and my body began to develop poor habits to protect itself. My condition peaked when I was unable to drive with my right foot flexed at the accelerator pedal, and I couldn't even drive to physical therapy treatment without a "left-foot gas pedal" due to acute pain. In a matter of weeks Susan taught me how to recognize when my stance, walking and sitting were geared to trigger pain and how to begin to forestall its inevitable re-injurous compensation mechanisms. Eventually, in conjunction with my Alexander Lessons, I came to discover isometric exercises, which were less vigorous than those that physical therapy had made even worse, but that were still intense enough strengthen my extremities. With Susan's assistance I was able to do these exercises (Qigong "Three Circles" stances) with the necessary balance, alignment and the attenuation of pain under stress for strengthening . I have continued these exercises with Alexander informed body usage for two years now, with little or no pain, provided I do them for 15 minutes every day. A surprising bonus is that I unlearned many habits of movement that were handicapping the art of my dance, which is both Ballroom and Argentine Tango. I know I am on the right track, as every day movements continue becoming more energized and my dance releases more power, beauty and control. (I am 68-years old.)

I was dealing with several new medical diagnoses at the time--which is never ideal when transitioning to a new doctor--but Dr. Beal has been absolutely incredible. This is my first experience with a provider outside of Kaiser, and I can honestly say I've never felt so heard or understood by a doctor. I used to think the doctors on TV who really get to know their patients were fictional--but not with Dr. Beal! She takes her time, never rushes appointments, and genuinely listens. She encourages questions and never makes me feel silly for asking anything, no matter how basic it might seem. Dr. Beal is working with me to build a care plan that actually fits me--not a one-size-fits-all solution. I'm honestly so thankful that I had to leave Kaiser, because it led me to her. Highly recommend!
