A year of suffering and a hospitalization had not led me to a solution or to the cause of my pain and rapid loss of mobility. After a series of weekly visits, I was guided back to normalcy. Some tips during treatment keep me on course. I will return for occasional visits as needed. Thank you, Dr. Barton, for your guidance, wisdom and empathy. I am 76 and I want to avoid surgery whenever I can and take care of my body.

Dr. Barton's office is tucked inside West Coast Neurology (Suite 175), and honestly? The whole…read moreplace feels surprisingly upbeat for a medical practice. There's a kind of warm energy buzzing through it. When I walked in, a few staff members immediately checked in with me--offered help, asked if I needed anything, and seemed like they meant it. It's the kind of place where you don't feel like an inconvenience for just... being there. Dr. Barton himself? Warm, sharp, unhurried. He asked specific questions, zero judgment, no rush--just actual conversation. You can tell he likes his job and takes it seriously. Also? He's a lot more personable than you'd expect from someone who's double-board-certified in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. (Which sounds a bit like a Marvel super-scientist resume, but I digress). ‍‍ Bottom line: if you're looking for a doctor who listens, thinks out loud with you, respects your time, and actually gives a damn--Dr. Barton checks every box, and then some.

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 was met with skepticism of my condition, labeled a drug seeker, sought psychiatrist, neurologist and I was dismissed without any help. For those who suffer from this level of severe insomnia, I had started to lose hope (if you know what I mean). There is a reason why sleep deprivation is a form of torure commonly used on terrorists. Dr. Cheng listened to me, he went above and beyond to complete a thorough background of all my past attempts, tests and medications. He didn't just acquiesce to simply placate me. He worked diligently and with compassion until we found the right treatment for my condition. My years of sleep deprivation interfered with employment, family and my life in general. He has given me my life. I would highly recommend Dr. Cheng for anyone who is suffering. You don't have to suffer any longer.

I reiterated that I am having concerning symptoms and wondering if I should go to the ER, and asked why he wouldn't want to follow up. She said she was try to see if he could call me between patients. He waited until after hours to call, I had already gone to the hospital for the symptoms, and he never even followed up.

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.
