His staff is outstanding, especially Marvel as the receptionist, and Leon as Dr. Fisher's assistant during the procedures. I have one more procedure to do. It is the difference between life and death for me, that's how much deblilitating pain I had been in. Thank heaven for Pain Relief Solutions. And yes, I have spoken to Dr. Fisher about the bad appearance outside the office and the rug in the waiting room. He said he has no control over that b/c they rent the space and the management doesn't respond to his requests to clean things up. The exam rooms and treatment room are pristine. :-)

This is a Dr that care about me as his patience and a person. He treat me as an individual that matters and that my care matters to him. He gives me good advice by being very through in asking questions and getting the full understanding of my needs before he give me that advice. I have learn to trust his care. He would never authorize something I do not need. His Staff is great! Gracie is the best in office care. She follows thru on everything and she very professionally Kind. My full trust is in my God Jehovah and I am so appreciative of Drs like Dr Gavrilyuk who treat medical care with God-like care and understanding. His intelligence and compassion far exceed his skills, though his skills are highly rated. My name is Mrs JAE and I'm a person that loves to show appreciation to deserving ones and this Dr. and his staff are very, very, deserving. He really deserves more than 5 stars but 5 are all you show in rating.

This place is extremely disorganized, and the constant disregard for patients' time is…read moreunacceptable. I have appointments here every other week, and I consistently wait at least 35-45 minutes past my scheduled appointment time before being seen. I work from home and have to drive through traffic to get back to East Chula Vista so I can return to work. I have explained at nearly every appointment that I have a limited window of time for my therapy, but my concerns seem to fall on deaf ears. Based on conversations I've overheard in the lobby, I'm clearly not the only patient experiencing these issues. During one appointment, I waited 45 minutes before they finally set me up for PENS electrical stimulation therapy. I questioned how they could expect me to stay for the entire hour of treatment after making me wait so long. The doctor explained that they only have one machine, yet they continue scheduling overlapping appointments. I even asked the doctor directly why he allows his staff to overlap appointments when they clearly do not have the equipment or capacity to accommodate patients on time. His only response was, "I'm sorry." An apology means very little when the same problem continues to happen at every appointment. It feels as though this facility prioritizes scheduling as many patients as possible over providing timely, quality care. Patients have jobs, responsibilities, and other commitments. Our time deserves just as much respect as theirs. I have been more than patient and have repeatedly communicated my concerns, but nothing has changed. I absolutely do not recommend this place. If you value your time and expect a facility to respect your scheduled appointments, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

They truly want to help you feel better with surgery being a last resort. They have taken me from a walker/cane to being able to walk unassisted most days. He also figured out which disc was causing my pain. I had previous steroid injections and they didn't hit the spot that needed to be hit. This doc uses the steroid epidurals to help diagnose which disc is causing the pain. That is especially important in those of us who have multiple back issues. I am so grateful to him and his entire team. They always let me know if they're running behind and I totally understand why when I realize all the homework he does before seeing you and making recommendations. When surgery day does arrive, hopefully down the road, I will know I'm in very good hands.

I am now 3 months post surgery with Dr. Kim and feel comfortable providing a review of him, his…read moreteam, and the surgery he performed on me. In short, I highly recommend him and his team for anyone facing a situation similar to mine - being told that my lumbar spine was "horrible" and that I needed fusion from L2 to S1. While I still may need such an invasive surgery some day, I am happy that the day is not now - thanks to Dr. Kim. I am 71 years old and have historically engaged in a very active lifestyle. I began having low back pain over 14 years ago, but it resolved on its own after about a year. I was then back to playing golf, hiking fairly long distances, doing heavy yard work, and attending yoga classes. But the pain returned and an MRI revealed severe problems throughout my lumbar spine (severe degenerative disc disease, severe facet disease, severe narrowing of the foramina, and scoliosis). It got to the point that I could not walk two city blocks without stopping to sit down or bend over. Epidural injections did not really help. I consulted a neurosurgeon who performed traditional decompression surgery at four levels (bilateral laminectomies, foramaminotomies, and partial facetectomies). This surgery and the follow up physical therapy helped, but did not get me back to where I wanted to be. Six months after this surgery my neurosurgeon reviewed new x-rays and a new MRI and opined that I needed lumbar fusion. I did not want lumbar fusion and opted to explore other possibilities. I tried acupuncture, but it not work for me. Neither did more epidural injections. Because standing and walking very much increased my pain, I was forced to manage my pain by seriously limiting my activities. I continued to follow up with my neurosurgeon and research other possibilities. Finally, my neurosurgeon suggested that I talk to Dr. Kim for a second opinion. Dr. Kim did not jump at the chance to perform surgery. At first he wanted an updated MRI, as well as all of my medical records. After his initial review he was not sure that he could help me. He then wanted a CT scan. After reviewing that imaging, he decided that he could probably help me with the LESS procedure. Since my pain was focused in my left thigh, he decided to address it by only doing surgery on the left side of my spine at 3 levels. As I mentioned at the outset, I am now 3 months post surgery. I have been through physical therapy and I am back out on the golf course, hiking, and attending yoga classes. I just returned from a two week vacation in Europe. There I walked a lot of cobblestone streets and climbed a lot of stairs. My Apple Watch recorded 12,000 to 14,000 steps on 5 or 6 days and nearly 19,000 steps on another day. All without the kind of pain that I was getting before when I went over 8,000 steps in a day. I could never have pulled that off without Dr. Kim's surgery. When people ask, I now declare the surgery a success. While I am not completely pain free, I am doing 100 percent better than I was doing before the surgery. On the negative side, I had to pay out of pocket for Dr. Kim's surgery fee. While that hurt, the fees for everyone else involved in the surgery was covered by Medicare. I also had to travel to San Diego for the surgery, but I now consider the surgery fee and travel expenses to be money well spent.

Throughout my treatment, I have experienced genuine kindness, compassion, professionalism, and an extraordinary level of expertise. Dr. Raiszadeh is a true subject matter expert in orthopedic spine surgery, and his knowledge, skill, and dedication inspire tremendous confidence. What stands out most is that he always puts the health, well-being, and best interests of his patients first. I would also like to recognize the outstanding staff at the Spine & Brain Institute of San Diego. Every member of the team has treated me with courtesy, respect, and compassion while providing an exceptionally high standard of care. Their professionalism and commitment to their patients make every visit a positive experience. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Dr. Raiszadeh and the entire team at the Spine & Brain Institute of San Diego a perfect 10.

Doc A. also showed me the MRI where the disc bulge is aggravating the one side more. He has a warm & calm vibe (but I'm a bit anxious today due to chronic pain, funky sleep, traffic & busy mind, so I struggled a lil this visit to match the calm frequency), but I def. left feeling optimistic & like I have someone supportive & caring in my corner. I like that Doc A. collaborates with me to try conservative tx. first, but is also open to explore trigger pt injections or other things in the future if needed. He's thorough, answered all my questions & is an excellent educator. I feel well informed. I'll start with PT first & go from there. He seems optimistic about my status but also prepared & able to try other things if needed. Thanks again & the staff in reception & the back are kind too. Unfortunately I returned due to pain, but I'm pleased to see y'all again. Infinite gratitude. And you've got a great sense of humor!

Without the faxes, I couldn't even schedule an appointment as a CASH patient. I finally called them to ask why I've waited well over a month just to get an appt and they say they have nothing & I have to try and get the dr to fax them again. Ridiculous! This place is so disorganized I won't bother to inconvenience my D.C. to fax them again. That ruined my confidence in this place. The level of patient care starts with the "Hello" on the other end of the phone. For that's they get one full star for answering the phone. Business must be great to turn away customers. The Doctor must not be that great if he has staff that can't get a patient in to see said doctor. When you deal with pain, your dealing with life and death. Don't go here. Your life is much more valuable than this place will ever know.
