Interesting information about Dr. R. Alrezk, MD and Professional Bio:…read moreDr. Rami Alrezk, MD, MS, FACP is a triple-board-certified specialist in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, Geriatric Medicine, and Internal Medicine. He is the founder of the California Endocrine Center in Murrieta, CA. His pedigree is elite; He served as a Medical Director at the Cleveland Clinic and completed advanced fellowships at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), UCSF, and UCLA. Dr. Alrezk is not just a clinician but a researcher who developed the Geriatric-Sensitive Cardiac Risk Index, a tool now utilized by major health organizations to improve surgical safety for seniors. He is widely considered an expert in high-complexity cases, including neuroendocrine tumors and rare adrenal disorders. Peer Review: 5/5 Stars The Verdict: Dr. Alrezk represents the rare "physician-scientist" who successfully bridges the gap between high-level academic research and compassionate patient care. What Stands Out The "Triple Threat" Perspective: His background in Geriatrics, Internal Medicine, and Endocrinology allows him to see the "whole picture." He doesn't just treat a thyroid; he understands how that treatment impacts the heart and the aging process. Scientific Precision: Having trained at the NIH and Caltech, his diagnostic approach is more rigorous than a standard community endocrinologist. He is the doctor other doctors send their "mystery cases" to. Patient Accessibility: Despite his world-class credentials, patient feedback consistently highlights his humility and clarity. He has a knack for explaining complex hormonal feedback loops in simple, everyday language. Conclusion: If you are in Southern California and dealing with a complex endocrine issue--especially if you are an older adult--Dr. Alrezk is arguably the most over-qualified (in a good way) and capable specialist in the region. My Review: Dr. Rami Alrezk is one of the best physicians I have in my care team. He is very knowledgeable not only as an Endocrinologist and Neuro Endocrinologist, but he understands the importance of treating the whole body. For years, many physicians I have had in the past, wanted to just jump in and put me on medication that I couldn't tolerate. There was a reason for that, but he was the only one who knew why. He also does ultrasounds, liver scans and Dexa scans in his office himself, which saves time on a diagnosis. I have never experienced the level of care he has for his patience from any other doctor. I guarantee you will get the best care if you establish with Dr. Rami Alrezk. He's one of a kind and quite impressive. Thank you Dr. Rami, for your caring attitude and expertise.

I'm sure Dr Hizon was a good medical professional, but not in my opinion and his "evaluation" of me…read morewas non-existent and completely inaccurate. Will not be coming back. Being new to the Temecula area after several decades in Chicago, I was in need of a new Dr to oversee my regular health and physical wellbeing. Was referred to Dr Hizon, and with his background in sports medicine, I felt it would be a good fit. I had been experiencing sever back and leg pain for several months making walking and exercising very difficult and painful. I have had several spinal surgeries, resulting in spinal fusion from L1-S1, but had been generally well for over 10 years, no major health issues, and other than the back and occasional knee pain (63 yo with back and arthritis issues, but still very active and mobile, until recently), was in decent shape, according to my Dr in Chicago. At my appointment with Dr Hizon, cannot call it a evaluation or consultation, as he did neither, I was told in general terms that I was going to die if I did not take care of myself, and "would be bad for his reviews". Was told that I was running out of body parts, and needed to change my lifestyle and begin a severe keto diet, with absolutely no carbs, needed to walk at least 10k steps/day (which I was doing until the recent back and leg pain and the reason for needing to see Dr Hizon) and start Pilates, and follow his videos and diet plans and apps. Was ordered extensive blood work and lab test to give him a baseline of my health. Never examined me, never asked me questions, just saw a 63 year old man in pain and decided I was in declining health. Scheduled a video call for a follow up a few weeks out, and I had to travel for a friend's medical emergency, and was the day of my friends procedure, so I had limited time before heading to the hospital. I logged on at 9:45am for a 10am call, at 10:15 I called and explained that I had to leave with my friend for the hospital at 11:00. They explained that once Dr Hizon arrived, he would call me back, no more than 10 minutes. About 30 minutes later, in the hospital and unable to use my cell, I was told that I was reschedule with his nurse practitioner at 1, even though I specifically told them I would not be available the rest of the day. At 1:15 I again received a message and was told I was rescheduled for 4:20. It has been 2 weeks since this all happened and I have yet to hear back from Dr Hizon or his office, neither through the patient portal or a call or an email, nothing. Turns out my results were all good, even better than last year. Have since sent my doctor the results and had a video call with him to discuss the results. I cannot recommend a Dr that asks not a single question of his patients and evaluates you without any examinations. A doctor that uses fear to intimidate and scare his patients into doing as he wants. I saw another Dr in Temecula with my in-laws, prior to my initial "meeting" with Dr Hizon, her first words were " he hasn't retired yet?", that should have been a warning to do my proper due diligence on him, as we all should.

Dr Hizon has a horrible bedside manner. I will never see him again! Practically called me a liar!read more

This time, we were forced to find one around Temecula because of our insurance so we searched on Yelp and saw that Doctor Uhler had really HIGH RATINGS! CARE QUALITY: 10/10 ALL of the staff at the front desk were all pretty young and mature. They are more patient over the phone and in person than most other front desk staff we've been too. They are all nice and beautiful folks. Cameron was a sweet heart who checked our blood pressure... DOCTOR UHLER: 10/10 He came in and just sat down with me and my husband. He really took his time to TALK and get to know us. We didn't feel rushed like most other offices we've been to. I remember spending about 5-15 minutes speaking with other doctors. I mean I understand doctors are busy but, doctor uhler spared at least 45 minutes of his time for us. We both have back problems so we were speaking to the right person. He gave us some referrals for physical therapy, requests for lab work and colonoscopy for my husband... What a GREAT FIND! He was also professionally working with Olympic Champions!! Doctor Uhler is patient, empathic and humble... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Uhler

He's performed my cervical spine epidural injections for years, and they've always been as pain-free and efficient as possible. He walks you through every step of the procedure, keeping you calm and comfortable. His skill and precision make the process quick and smooth unlike my experience with another doctor I saw once, which was far less pleasant. But what truly sets Dr. Kelling apart goes far beyond his technical ability. At one of the lowest points in my life, he looked at all of my symptoms as a whole instead of just focusing on his specialty. He told me something that completely changed my life: "It's not just one thing that's the problem, it's everything adding up and compounding on each other. You need to address each one." That one comment set me on a path to getting my life back. I went on to have three surgeries, the most significant being artificial disc replacements at C5/6 and C6/7. It turned out that I had an undiagnosed chordoma tumor growing around my C5/C6 nerves, pressing on my vertebral artery and eroding the bone. Catching that early may have saved my life. Without Dr. Kelling's insight and encouragement, I don't think I would have pursued those surgeries and I'm forever grateful that I did. His office staff also deserves credit. They are kind, patient, and incredibly helpful with navigating the insurance challenges that come with pain management. They handle a tough job better than any front office I've experienced, and they make the whole experience much smoother. When you're dealing with chronic pain, the medical system can feel frustrating and impersonal. Southern California Spine & Joint Institute and especially Dr. Kelling and his team are top-notch. You will be well cared for here. I'm back to mountain biking as a result and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you!
