Many months ago I stopped going to him after he sent a prescription for TWICE the milligrams he'd said aloud. Dangerous and thoughtless!

She will also make you feel stupid. As an employee she is not a a team player. Her and Robyn,the manager, are buddy buddy and don't really work. Mel has been sent to the back due to the fact she is rude to patients at the front. Mel will also charge you a copay or balance even though you have a credit on your account she will tell you it's not valid or that you don't have one. She will not help out her other coworkers and will let them drown in work. Mel is also high 100% of the time at work. If you do happens to be at the Santa Maria office and need help, Crystal and Sam are your go to people !! They are so sweet and kind. they really care for patients and want you to have the best experience there. Unfortunately due to the rest of the staff it's hard for them. The doctors will even want to talk to Crystal before talking to Robyn because they know Crystal will get it done and Robyn will not. Sam is an angel. She does the urine samples. OH and Cathy-head of HR she will ignore you to the max lol. She does NOT care about the patients or anything. she is there for the money and to go home. She treats the employees horribly. she treats the managers horribly as well. ALSO for the SLO office, if they call you the day before your appointment to collect your copay or balance and you don't answer, they will just cancel the appointment without giving you a chance to call back. And then they will tell you it's your fault you missed the appointment even though you didn't even get a chance to call back. And again Carla is lompoc is an angel and deserves the world:) The doctors do care and want you to have the best experience possible. They care that they are helping you and want to beat results possible.

They had agreed to the appointment and then 2 weeks later, the day before the appointment they canceled. We called to ask why and they were being very shady. Making excuses. It was almost as if they were scared of something. I've heard plenty of rumors that certain doctors talk to each other and I feel like this was one of those situations. I'm guessing Dr. Moelleken didn't want to "step on anybody's toes." Don't waste your time with them.

But I can't give them such a good rating now! Their service has really gone downhill from the standpoint of dependability on follow through. This also applies at least in part to the Santa Barbara surgery center. Their attentiveness and attention to details now leaves a good deal to be desired as compared with years past. Not exactly what I term very "Professional." It's like their plate is overly full. I'm in hopes something will be done to raise their standards back to what it previously was!! It's needed!

Amazing, truly cares, not a pill pusher, looks at root causation and seeks to treat whole person…read moreand attempt to heal. Not someone who prescribes things to mask the symptoms and calls it good. Creative, smart, best doctor ever, best I've ever felt since diagnosed with several issues including several problems related to a genetic disorder that caused severe nerve pain, it takes real skill to help when someone is this bad and has been for a long time. Uncovered severe deficiencies and very low cortisol levels which could have been life threatening. Very careful and conscientious, expect to bring spouse or family member for visits as they want this so they get best picture of what's happening. This is a precaution I feel protects both doctor and patient, and helps prevent misuse, miscommunications, and other problems, and I'm glad. Never had anyone make more of a effort, they research constantly and are always looking out for smallest things that may help and they share them. Truly feel I wouldn't be able to cope if I hadn't found this clinic! I'd go anywhere however far for treatment this amazing, God bless this clinic!

With more than a decade of experience on the Central Coast, he has built a strong referral network among local primary care physicians and spine specialists. His practice offers comprehensive care, from careful diagnostic evaluation through interventional procedures, neuropathic and musculoskeletal pain treatment, and advanced neuromodulation therapies such as spinal cord stimulation. Equally important is responsible opioid stewardship, helping patients manage medications safely while improving function and quality of life. Gold Coast Pain and Wellness operates from two locations: a primary office in Pismo Beach at 2 James Way, Suite 205, and a secondary office in Templeton at 1111 Las Tablas Road, Suite O.

The goal is not simply to mask pain but to restore movement, independence, and a fuller life.

Dr Pirouz is my physician here. I've been fighting stage IV Metastatic Malignant Melanoma for 3.5…read moreyears. Recently, I started having back pain. Let me premise this with the fact that I have one of the best oncology teams in the country. This includes the number 5 Melanoma specialist in the world. I fly across the country every month to see them at a prestigious medical institution. However, none of my specialists caught my back problem. We all figured the symptoms were from the surgeries I had. Dr. Pirouz, however didn't blink twice when I mentioned my symptoms (which weren't even in my back). He immediately ordered a MRI of my lumbar and scheduled me to be back in his office in two weeks. Needless to say, my MRI was abnormal. He has referred me out to a Neurosurgeon that has already called me back (same day!). I have been sick for a long time. Not to mention, I worked in health care for over 20 years. It's not my first rodeo when it comes to continuity of care. It seems that physicians are getting more and more subspecialized. I have about twenty different providers. Most of them tell me that something is not their territory and then refer me out. This becomes exhausting after awhile and therefore, nobody is treating the "whole self!" Many hospital systems have this as their mission statement; however it's just a line. I should know... I've worked for many great hospital systems and have lived through it first hand! I would recommend this physician, hands down. He's done his job with the utmost professionalism and found something my other physicians didn't.
