But what pissed me off is that dr. Barcodar NEVER mentioned that level of my vitamin E is low...very low. I noticed that when to weeks after visit I requested blood report. Google it. Deficiency of vitamin b12, folate, b6 and vitamin E cause neuropathy...so instead of giving me advice to take vitamin E he said....see you in 6 month. Sure. If I'm still alive. Good job doc. Good job.

The onset of dizziness and balance problems began in 2018 for my husband and grew worse in the…read moreyears since. Specialists, imaging, nutrition counseling and physical therapy failed to offer solutions. An MRI brain scan finally revealed damage to brain blood vessels; a diagnosis from the fourth neurologist was vascular Parkinson's. Word of mouth brought us to the CA Brain & Spine Center and Dr. Chizari. Treatment at the Center relies on advanced technology and Dr. Chizari's deep understanding of functional neurology - leading your brain to reconnect with your body via your vision, vestibular system and neural pathways. It's been fascinating to watch. My husband is improving. Rediscovering abilities. Walking better. And for all the science and technology that is at the foundation of the Center, the real difference is Dr. Chizari himself. He is kind, gentle and deeply committed to his patients. Sessions with Dr. Chizari are one-on-one and intensive. He creates a safe and encouraging environment. We highly recommend the California Brain & Spine Center.

She approaches each appointment with empathy, patience, and an extraordinary depth of expertise. She explains things clearly, answers every question thoughtfully, and ensures you feel supported and understood. In a healthcare system that can sometimes feel impersonal, Dr. Levyim is a breath of fresh air. She leads with both brilliance and heart, and it is evident that she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the people she treats. I feel incredibly grateful to be under her care. If you are looking for a neurologist who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply human, compassionate, and devoted to her patients, Dr. Levyim is truly outstanding. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Amazing! My husband was in pain from a work injury for 10 yrs! He had herniated and bulging discs…read moreas well as stenosis in some of the foramen all in the vicinity of C6, C7, C8 & T1 Before allowing the orthopedist to hack my husband, we went for a 2nd opinion-he met a lady in Costco who had recent neck surgery and she recommended Dr. Taban literally called him God! It took 3 months to get into see him for consultation but we'll worth the wait! My husband was only 40 at the time and after going over his imaging and history he suggested something much different than what Dr. Grossman at SCOI wanted to do to him! (3 discectomies & fusion) holy crap! Dr. Taban said "absolutely not! You're young and healthy...You'll be back in 10 yrs for more surgery!" His recommendations were clearly what my husband needed and we scheduled his surgery w/Taban-had to wait 3 months for the date (that's how busy he is) but again we'll worth to wait! When Dr. Taban got going on the surgery he found that one of my husband's disks had ruptured, and that definitely explained why he was in so much more pain... So he cleaned up all the fragments as well as the bulges and said, there was plenty of disc remaining. No need to remove them. He also performed a Foraminotomy, and a laminectomy, as well as drilled the holes wider for the nerve roots to flow freely through. My husband was a new man within a week! Dr. Taban is amazing! My husband has been doing wonderful ever since-20 years later. He still has some soreness that he has to deal with and does see a chiropractor sometimes. We learned so much through this, and we're so grateful that we found this Dr. Taban. Do not let anyone touch your spine unless they're a neurosurgeon! Even if they're a "spine specialist" don't waste your time! Go to a neurosurgeon. Highly recommend Dr. Taban! P.S. At his office, in the lobby there's lots of reading material available which consists of hundreds of letters from patients thanking him and I can't remember how many of those letters were from people who were hacked by a different doctor and we're coming to Dr. Taban to fix/clean up their mess!

I have to remind him of my medical history. In addition, just a few minutes into the visit, the office manager, repeatedly knocks on the door, urging him to wrap up every five minutes so he can see the next patient. That said, the front desk staff are always nice and friendly, which makes checking in and interacting with the office pleasant. Experiencing a doctor who is frequently late, unprepared, and rushed feels unprofessional and leaves me concerned about the quality of my care.
