Horrendous office staff. It took months to schedule an epidural as referred by my spine surgeon…read morebecause "Dr Kim still hasn't reviewed the referral". I finally got the appointment after calling the office about a dozen times over many months. I finally got the epidural, and at the pointless follow up appointment somebody other than Dr Kim came in the room and rudely barked a bunch of questions at me and then left the room without making eye contact or introducing himself, or telling me that I'm free to go, that was the whole appointment. I still don't know who he was or what the point of the follow-up was, I never saw Dr Kim again. They sent me the wrong bill 6 months ago and I tried contacting their biller many times to speak to them about the bill. I can't get ahold of them on the phone, and I get zero responses to emails. They continue to send me the wrong bill every couple of months, and every time I try to contact them with no response. Finally after 6 months and many attempts at contacting them, I got a response saying: We're working on it and every time you contact us you get bumped to the back of the line so stop contacting us. But they keep sending me the wrong bill! The procedure occurred nearly a year ago and this is still not resolved.

A very calm and peaceful environment upon entry…read more I was greeted with a smile and immediately put at ease with Jiana. She thanked me for getting the forms in the evening prior which cut down on the wait time for my appointment. A very short wait And I was called back by the RN Amy. Once again put at ease immediately. She smiled and was down to earth as we covered the basics and discussed our siblings (my sister came with me for support...She doesn't usually care for doctors or facilities for that matter... Just saying. I was honestly a little bit nervous she might get feisty because she can do that!) Dr Kevin Smith entered the room shortly thereafter and, noticed by my sister, had a full page of handwritten notes that she mentioned to me later...means old school...we liked that. I was very pleased with a no sugar coating honest consultation and the fact that he actually read my MRI and notes prior to the appointment...was a relief! We didn't have to spend 20 minutes talking about why I was there. He already knew. More old school stuff. Love it! This doctor looks you in the eyes when he's talking to you he discussed a few things that were not included in my referral from my spine doctor. I concluded that Dr. Kevin Smith truly wants the HELP to find the least restrictive solution for living well. I didn't get the feeling that I was just another name coming through his office. He smiles and laughs and just gives you the feeling that you are spending time with an old friend discussing the days of old sitting on the veranda with an ice cold glass of sweet tea. I don't think I could give a sweeter review than that. Thank you very much to the team at Integrated Pain Specialists of Southern California! I look forward to going back for my spine injections with this team of professionals! -Jenny- PS My sister felt the same as me and she's really tough on doctors! ;)

But their Physical Therapy Program is by far and away the best I've ever been to. And I've done a lot of physical therapy, occupational therapy, 3-open heart surgeries. From the moment you walk in the vibe is good. They play great music. And let's be honest at least for me........, Their physical therapist are not just physical therapist. They are literally mental therapist walking you not just through your physical condition but the mental hurdles that come with it. 5-STARS ALL DAY EVERY DAY. The receptionist Desire is so considerate and accommodating. I love the Otho-1 physical therapy team-

I tried calling…read moremultiple times and they never answer the phone, nor do they call back same day o on messages as their VM message states. I finally was able to stumble through their very user "unfriendly" website to make an appointment. First available was for over 3 months out. To my chagrin the office called several days later to leave a voice mail saying they need to change the time and for me to call them back, which I did immediately to no avail. You get sent to same goat rope voicemail system which states to leave a message and someone will call you back same day. Well I've heard that nonsense multiple times already and they never do! The doctors may be good, verdict still out on that, but if they can't even figure out how to do business without extreme frustration for their patients what good are they?

Happy to report he took the time to methodically review family and medical histories, had wonderful bedside manner, and was in no hurry whatsoever. I remember being impressed with the time he spent asking probative questions or searching his knowledge before coming to any recommendations/conclusions. Having a compassionate disposition is an absolute must for any doctor. I won't address any specific reviews below, but Dr. Matson is the epitome of what you would expect out of any medical professional of the highest order. Take a moment to read some of the literature in his office, ask him a few questions, and you'll quickly see he's one of the doctors who still really, actually cares about your health and wellbeing. Lastly, I'd like to comment on the front desk nurses. I'll admit I thought they were a bit too curt on the phone at first, but after meeting them in person it's clear they take their job and your time very seriously. You won't be complaining when your Rx is called in and your paperwork is finalized and ready to go before you are... Clockwork! Love it. Thanks Dr. Matson and Co! -Austin
