Main entrance
Agustin R.

This was my second time coming here and as soon as I walked in, Nancy was waiting for me and knew my name and told me my room is ready. i'm a very punctual person and I always show up early to my appointments Let me tell you This is what you call being a professional thats something that I value a lot especially when I make appointment somewhere. It really bothers me when they're never ready for you at your set time. She's really good and really knowledgeable and attentive to the problem that you're getting treated for I I highly recommend her to anyone. She's really good at her job and knows what she's talking about she gave me some advice on what to do at home to help me with my situation and type of care I should be doing .

I cannot recommend Dr. Ling enough! When I was a child, I ran from a stray dog and hit my knee on a fire hydrant. Fast forward to adulthood, and I've now developed arthritis in that same knee. Recently, it became so swollen that I couldn't walk on it for about two weeks. I started seeing Dr. Ling weekly for the past four weeks, and my knee has improved tremendously--I'd say it's about 90% back to normal! His expertise and care have made such a difference in my recovery. I truly appreciate his thoughtful approach and the time he takes to ensure I'm healing properly. I'll definitely continue coming in for monthly preventative care. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor, Dr. Ling is the one to see!

I can't say enough good things about my acupuncture session with Dr. Oh for my back pain. I walked in with tightness and discomfort that had been bothering me for weeks, and left feeling like a new person. The treatment was gentle, relaxing, and surprisingly soothing. By the end, the tension had melted away, and I could move so much more freely. This was truly a game-changer for my back -- highly recommend to anyone dealing with pain or stiffness!

He makes the to explain medical terms and anatomical functions of your conditions and best available procedures to correct the conditions. Furthermore, he is comfortable with going into greater details about how the procedure/ procedures will improve the medical conditions. I was so surprised that after decades of my mother having spinal surgeries and epidurals by traditional orthopedic surgeons, she was left is severe debilitating pain. Her only recourse was pain medication, which left her tired, sleepy, and hopeless every day. She had a L5/S1 fusion and c4/c5 herniated disk surgery, and recently was diagnosed with spondyliothis/ degenerative spine condition. To make matters worse, the L5/S1 fusion has compacted the above vertebrae and worn down the cushion in L4 to the point of bone on bone. We had been searching for a remedy for years, and we're only offered cortisone, epidurals, and ultimately fusion surgery (again), by doctor after doctor. Until.... We met Dr. Wu. In 15 minutes he explained an outpatient procedure that we had never heard of, that for the first time - actually made sense! So we gave it a try. In 15 minutes, Dr. Wu completed his recommended procedure on my mother. In 2 days, she was walking without a walking stick/ cane, not needing wheelchair assistance, not debilitated by severe pain, nor completely dependent on medications like nerve modulators, or opioid pain killers, or muscle relaxants to maintain her daily activities. A week later, I am truly amazed that his work has reduced her pain by more than 60% and now she is walking and smiling and laughing again. She has improved drastically, and now I am blessed to enjoy holding her hand while walking together - something we have not done since I was much younger. I missed so many years of this special experience with her. Thank you so much, Dr. Wu; for giving us new memories to rekindle. PS. Thank you for diagnosing and treating my bursitis. I can bend my knee again and walk without a painful limp. I had no idea the problem could be fixed so quickly and feel so much better! Sincerely, Yamina

From the very first visit, I felt heard and truly understood, which is something I haven't experienced with other specialists. What sets Dr. Robinson apart is his genuine commitment to finding the right solution for me, not just masking the symptoms. He is incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of treatment options, from innovative therapies to established methods, and he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring l am comfortable and confident in the chosen path. My quality of life has improved dramatically. I'm much more active and I look forward to the fun things in life. I've even taken up pickleball. Also, the atmosphere in the medical center is consistently welcoming and supportive. The entire team, from the front desk staff to the nurses and the doctors, treats me with kindness and respect. It really makes a difference when you're dealing with chronic issues. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Robinson to anyone struggling with pain. He is an exceptional physician and a genuinely caring person.

Loren, the TMS tech, was fantastic. Madonna, a nurse, was fantastic. Dr. Ananth gave me two referrals that I was very desperate for, and I greatly appreciate that! They were referrals for treatments that they do not do in that office and are pretty extreme. He said he wanted me to exhaust all other options before giving me referrals to those two treatments. I did exhaust all other options, so he did finally give me those two referrals. Again, I'm very grateful to him for doing that because I don't think I would've been able to pursue those treatments without his referral or a referral by another psychiatrist. One thing that bothers me a lot, though, is that, instead of being offered Spravato, which is covered by my insurance, I could only do IV ketamine there. I don't know why they didn't offer Sp I experienced zero effect until my sixth treatment. Cash pay at that time for me was extremely expensive (about $600 per session). So, the first $3000 worth of IV Ketamine treatment was completely ineffective for me.

Pros- Dr. Khoshar is amazing. Very knowledgeable and…read moregenuinely interested in resolving the root cause(s) of the pain. Appointments are pretty easy to get. In network for most insurance companies. Cons- The biggest issue is billing. They have such an antiquated set up in which the only options for payment are to mail in your check or credit card number or to try calling to give them the cc number over the phone. They rarely answer on the first try. The whole system is beyond frustrating. You know how any time you go to any other doctor and have a procedure done, it's pretty standard for the doctor to call & check on you? Or let's say you had some labs done and the doc calls you back or emails you? You can't get that here without being charged for a full office visit. That's right - a 2 minute phone call in which the doctor says 'I looked at the test results and we need to send off to insurance for the next procedure', gets billed for $800 (full office visit). There is no such thing as a courtesy follow up phone call, even if it's 2 mins 16 seconds, yes I have the call log. Appointments are easy to get but NEVER be in a hurry here because they are consistently at least an hour behind. Overall, I do still recommend this clinic because they do listen and don't just tell you 'it's anxiety' or brush you off without trying to help. I just think it's helpful to know what to expect for billing and if I had known this is how they were, I would have chosen a different place.

Upon arrival, the receptionist greeted me with a smile and was incredibly kind. I told her I was scared, and she took the time to share her own experience and reassure me that I would feel much better after my visit. That alone helped me feel more comfortable and at ease. When I met with Dr. Javid, he took the time to ask me a series of questions and thoroughly understand what I was experiencing. He educated me on how my posture, daily routine, and everyday habits could all contribute to my discomfort. By the end of our conversation, I had a much better understanding of what might have caused my pain and became more aware of the things I could do differently moving forward. I left my first visit with less discomfort, a better understanding of my condition, and a genuine sense of excitement about my recovery! What I appreciate most about Dr. Javid is that he doesn't just rush into adjusting your back like many people might expect. He takes the time to ask questions, explain what is happening, and help you understand the root of the problem. His goal isn't simply to provide temporary relief; it's to help you understand your body and work toward long-term improvement. He spent a significant amount of time with me, and it was clear that this was not just an "adjust your back and send you on your way" type of appointment. I felt heard, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire visit. I will be recommending Dr. Javid and sharing my experience with others. If you've been in a car accident, experienced an injury, or are dealing with back pain and looking for someone who takes the time to understand your concerns, I highly recommend giving Dr. Javid a visit.

I didn't even realize how much I was struggling with things like my hearing, vision, and sense of smell until after my appointment, when I noticed I felt different almost like a new person! What I love most is how much he genuinely cares about his patients. He takes his time with you, listens, and doesn't make you feel rushed. I've been to chiropractors who see you for less than 10 minutes and then it's basically, "Okay, pay and bye." That is definitely NOT the experience here. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in what he does. I absolutely love the way he works and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor who actually takes the time to care for you!

After two consultations, he gave me a painkiller injection in my lower back. Dr. Arita's diagnosis was accurate, and thanks to him, I have improved to an amazing extent. Also, when I had the injection in my lower back, the procedure was done in the doctor's office, so I didn't have to go to another hospital, which was very convenient. Also, two nurses were by my side all the time, holding my hand. The doctor also talked to me about various things, which helped me relax as I was scared of the injection, which was very reassuring. I live in OC, so it's a little far, but Dr. Arita carefully considers the treatment options, so I think he's a trustworthy doctor. He doesn't make me go back in for many times. First, he listens to me, identifies the area that hurts, prescribes the appropriate medicine, and if that doesn't work, he tells me the next treatment. Then, after I get better, he introduces me to physical therapy and releases me from my own consultation, so I don't have to go there unnecessarily. If I ever have any pain in the future I won't hesitate to go to him.
