I will keep a long story short, and say that I was able to access a better network of doctors by getting insurance through my workplace instead of through Covered CA. Dr. Brizuela promised me that he would partner with me to improve my condition and health and refer to experts for anything he couldn't figure out. HE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I am not crier. But every time I am in his office and tell him how I'm feeling better and slowly but surely returning to "normal" activities, I start crying when I feel the hope swell up within me to return to my life of health and fitness. (I was training for my first bikini competition prior to the car accident.) He is very kind, empathetic, and truly listens to your concerns and responds with kindness and care that improves your condition. If you are looking for an excellent, top-notch neurologist, look no further because Dr. Brizuela will change your life for the better. Thank you, Dr. Brizuela, for helping me on my journey of becoming myself again instead of a shadow of who I used to be.

I was met with skepticism of my condition, labeled a drug seeker, sought psychiatrist, neurologist and I was dismissed without any help. For those who suffer from this level of severe insomnia, I had started to lose hope (if you know what I mean). There is a reason why sleep deprivation is a form of torure commonly used on terrorists. Dr. Cheng listened to me, he went above and beyond to complete a thorough background of all my past attempts, tests and medications. He didn't just acquiesce to simply placate me. He worked diligently and with compassion until we found the right treatment for my condition. My years of sleep deprivation interfered with employment, family and my life in general. He has given me my life. I would highly recommend Dr. Cheng for anyone who is suffering. You don't have to suffer any longer.

It's the kind of place where you don't feel like an inconvenience for just... being there. Dr. Barton himself? Warm, sharp, unhurried. He asked specific questions, zero judgment, no rush--just actual conversation. You can tell he likes his job and takes it seriously. Also? He's a lot more personable than you'd expect from someone who's double-board-certified in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. (Which sounds a bit like a Marvel super-scientist resume, but I digress). ‍‍ Bottom line: if you're looking for a doctor who listens, thinks out loud with you, respects your time, and actually gives a damn--Dr. Barton checks every box, and then some.

I was sent to him by Dr. Edward Barton who is in the same West Coast Neurology practice (who is also great) because Dr. Nune specializes in the area I need help.

He listens to me and my concerns, never rushes me, explains everything on our treatment plan clearly and has a plan to recover my health which is not pharmaceutical bound...and it is working! Before finding Dr. Nune and Dr. Barton, my health was spiraling downward due to another doctor's (not at this practice) reluctance to listen to me or stray from her predetermined course of medication treatment for my type of condition which clearly was not working. Dr. Nune literally, in my opinion, saved my life.

I never had to pay for physicals with other primary care providers, so getting this additional "medical visit" charge for reviewing my annual lab results just feels really unsavory.

After sharing my experience with my friends and neighbors on California Sports & Spine Institute, I…read morerealized I never left them a review. I know, shocking since I clearly like reviewing. So here it goes: Gather round, my friends, it's story time. So without divulging my entire medical history, I will share with my fellow Yelpers that I, Margo "Yelp-go", have EDS (has nothing to do with ED and everything to do with chronic pain) I have been to SO many pain management doctors (around 6) and after a bad experience at Risser Orthopedic (don't worry, I'll get to that review later) I decided to search for the Dr that led me to go to Risser in the first place (*cue the music*) Dr Moradian! I had seen Dr Moradian briefly around 7 yrs prior after a car accident, at Risser. He was kind, professional and after 5 other pain management doctors later, definitely more skilled. (Yes, I will publicly shame these past practices at a later date. Your girl's trying to stay positive here) When I returned to Risser, I asked to see Dr Moradian and was told he was no longer there. Obviously, I created a false narrative that he retired young and was traveling the Bahamas in happiness and that he was no longer an option for me. So fast forward to me having enough of the disappointment with Risser. (I'm talking about them randomly changing appointments on me without letting me know and literally calling me for a phone appointment when my poor grandma was dying in a hospital and then charging me for not being available despite not ever scheduling me for that day. Then mix in Evelyn with the attitude...) I digress, I was just done. I felt like I was starting from ground zero and decided I would just google Dr Moradian. I guess I thought, "hmm, maybe he's retired but has a a twin with the same career and professionalism". I'm so glad I did because *BAM* I found him (in hindsight I should have just started with this, but hey, you live and you learn) When I called to schedule, he wasn't available. An invisible tear fell from my face. The lady on the other line recommended that I try his colleague Dr Vartanian. I admit, I was hesitant but figured he had to be "okay" if he was with Dr Moradian. I was RIGHT (and a little wrong) because Dr Vartanian is amazing! *confetti emoji* He's not only the most gentle Trigger Point Injector (again, I've had this done by now 7 drs.) but he's also compassionate towards his patients and encourages a plan towards maintaining mobility for a rewarding life. He's the first doctor that I would vouch for to say that he's a genuinely good person. Not just a "good doctor" but a "good person".
