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.

An old injury coupled with repetitive stress injury had me in so much pain that I could not work,…read moreand I struggled to get through every day. I went to seemingly every kind of doctor, including Stanford Pain Clinic, but still the pain kept coming back and ruined my quality of life. Finally I found Dr. Perry and went to see him. He examined me and we talked for a long time. I was impressed by how much he cared and listened. Dr. Perry gave me some medication that immediately got the pain under control. In subsequent visits, he monitored my progress and suggested various ways to avoid aggravating my condition. After a while, I was able to go on a small dose of a maintenance medication, and live my life generally pain-free. I am so grateful to Dr. Perry for showing me a way out of the terrible pain I used to suffer from every day. From time to time Dr. Perry has seminars about pain control. These are really useful. Also he recommends other therapies that can be used to help heal old injuries and reduce the amount of medication required to get a good result. If you are hurting, do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Dr Perry!

I specifically asked in writing about the cost of a new patient consultation before scheduling…read more During the scheduling phone call the fee discussed was $75. The confirmation email I received listed only the appointment time, address, and parking information -- it contained no mention of any consultation fee. On the day of the visit I was charged $750. When I questioned the amount, I was told that was the correct fee based on our prior conversation. I left the experience feeling the consultation fee had not been clearly or accurately disclosed in advance. The office itself also raised concerns. There was no secretary or front-desk staff, and the space is shared with a beauty salon, chiropractic office, and other services. All communication was handled directly by the doctor. The lack of transparent pricing has left me with no choice but to file a claim in small claims court to resolve the matter.

It made a very stressful situation so much easier knowing I was in such capable hands. I especially want to recognize Dani for going so far above and beyond with the billing support. She put in so much extra work behind the scenes, and I truly appreciate all the time, patience, and dedication she and Ginger gave to helping resolve everything. My medical care truly could not have happened without their support, and it has been life-changing for me. A huge thank you as well to Sarah for making sure we were scheduled for the procedure and helping everything come together smoothly and on time. Her help made the entire process seamless. This team truly cares about their patients, and it shows in every interaction. I am beyond thankful for all of their help and highly recommend this office.

I received a call the day before my appointment asking me to review, in detail, the original phone…read moreconversation from when I scheduled my visit. I was told this was necessary because the employee who booked my appointment had been terminated, and there was no documentation in my chart. I clearly explained at that time why I was seeking care and specifically asked the receptionist to verify my insurance eligibility to ensure I could see the physician. When I arrived for my appointment, I was informed that it had been scheduled incorrectly. After waiting approximately 20 minutes, I was told I needed to contact my insurance company to obtain my physical insurance card information. While I was on the phone with my insurance provider, the doctor briefly came to the front desk area. At the time, it appeared to be a casual interaction with staff, but given the circumstances, it seemed possible she had been informed that my insurance information had not been properly collected by the former receptionist. Once I provided the required insurance details, I was finally taken to an exam room by a medical assistant. As I sat down, the staff member commented that the doctor was not friendly and could be rude and abrupt. My blood pressure was taken and measured at 140/103, which is elevated. The assistant stated she would not inform the doctor and would instead retake it because she did not want to "go there" with her. When retaken, I was told it was still high. The staff member asked additional questions and mentioned I would see her again after the doctor completed the examination. However, just two minutes later, she returned to inform me that the doctor had left and would not be seeing me that day. I was asked if I would like to reschedule. Although I remained composed and declined, I left the office in tears, feeling defeated and deeply disappointed. It is difficult to understand how someone seeking medical care could be treated in this manner. I will be contacting patient relations, and I felt it was important to share this experience here as well.

My mother suffered thoracic fractures and had to be rushed to the emergency room twice due to severe spinal and neck pain. Both times, Dr. Bartoli treated her, referred to us by the hospital doctors. During an incredibly stressful period for our family, he was calm, patient, and compassionate. What stood out most was how carefully he listened. He took the time to thoroughly explain my mother's condition, the procedures, and what we could expect in recovery. He never rushed us, and he made sure I understood everything. His bedside manner is exceptional -- kind, reassuring, and professional. I also deeply appreciate that he does not default to prescribing painkillers. Instead, he encourages a holistic approach to recovery and long-term improvement. At our follow-up appointment, he discussed multiple strategies to support my mother's healing beyond just medication, which gave us confidence that he truly cares about sustainable health outcomes. It's rare to find a doctor who combines technical skill, integrity, and genuine compassion the way Dr. Bartoli does. We are incredibly grateful for his care, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking thoughtful and patient-centered treatment.

In a world of quick fixes and symptom masking, he is the rare practitioner who slows down and actually looks for the root cause. Coming in, I thought I understood what holistic care meant.

He never made me feel like a condition to manage. He listened, adjusted, and made it clear that my care was personal to him. Two years in, he still exceeds my expectations.
