Dr. Nassiri is in a league of his own in all aspects of his medical practice at Westside Pain…read moreSpecialists. I've been his patient for almost two years, and in that time he's been instrumental to the diagnosis and management of my debilitating and confusing pain. Dr. Nassiri has perfect bedside manner; he's extremely personable, kind, high energy, warm, and has a sincere passion for helping people get better that comes through in everything he does. He's brilliantly smart and truly works with his patients as an advocate to leave no stone unturned in getting to the source of their pain. In every single one of our encounters he has gone so far above and beyond what was expected, because he genuinely cares. Truly, there's nothing else one could ask for in a medical practitioner. I'd recommend any family member, friend, and of course many strangers on the internet to the care of Dr. Nassiri. He is the doctor who you want on your side when you're in pain. Also, Priscilla at the desk is an absolute gem. This office runs so smoothly and is perfectly streamlined when it comes to making appointments and scheduling procedures. They've got it down to a science. Thank you, Westside Pain Specialists for being all around wonderful during the extremely difficult experience of living with pain. Would give 10 stars if I could!

I just met Dr Spiegel and his staff for the first time…read more Linda welcomed me and put me at ease. I am a psychotherapist and feel the first person behind the desk at the doctor's office is a very important person, psychologically, for the patient. I am a nervous patient and Linda was reassuring. Carol and Raphael were kind also. Dr Spiegel combined his great personality, sense of humor and sound scientific knowledge in his sincere interaction with me. I have been around the block a few times and I am discerning and have high standards. I know this is the place for me. I have bad arthritis in my knee and lead a very active and busy life. I know this is the place for me. Dr. Spiegel gave me options and was upbeat, which fits in with my personality. This is a good place to help us get well.

I received a lumbar epidural injection from Dr. Siegel to treat chronic lower back pain due to…read morespondylolisthesis and foraminal stenosis. The outcome was significantly worse than expected and had a lasting negative impact on my health and daily life. Within 24 hours of the procedure, I developed severe lower back pain along with a hematoma at the injection site. The pain was substantially greater than anything I experienced prior to the injection. Despite reporting these complications, I did not receive a clear explanation of what went wrong or meaningful guidance on how to manage the situation. I was left to cope with the consequences largely on my own. As a result, I had to return to anti-inflammatory medications to manage the pain, which persisted for over two month. This prolonged recovery disrupted my sleep, limited my mobility, and interfered with both my professional responsibilities and overall quality of life. Complete luck of accountability.

I initially began my ketamine infusion therapy back in December of 2019, up in the San Francisco…read moreBay Area where I am from. By the time I found Gateway on Montana, I had already had 10 treatments, so I was extensively familiar with the myriad benefits. After a series of situations requiring a temporary relocation to Santa Monica recently brought me to the neighborhood, I happened to stumble upon this beautiful facility one sunny day in July, and was warmly greeted by Zohreh. After a lovely chat, I immediately scheduled their next available appointment, and was able to get an infusion within two days (on a Saturday), at about half the price I was paying in the Bay Area, which was such a relief to discover. I am so grateful to have found this place, and have now had five sessions at Gateway Clinics. As someone who is very sensitive to all pharmaceuticals, and neither tolerates nor desires any traditional medications, I am thankful to have discovered ketamine on the advice of a functional (aka holistic) psychiatrist a few years back. I have since learned that Ketamine is a tremendously safe, versatile, and wonderful drug that has been used since the early 1960s, and may be administered at different dosages, in any one of three ways: as an anesthetic (for sedation, like during surgery), as an analgesic (to achieve relief of chronic pain), and as a psychedelic (requiring much lower doses, for mental health support). In my case, ketamine has been instrumental in helping me with all of the following areas of concern: depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, trauma, addiction, suicidal ideation, fatigue, sleep, cognitive performance, mental clarity, and even everyday functionality on a seemingly ordinary human level that so many of us take for granted (until compromise thereof occurs). Within one treatment, ketamine also gently washed away a lifelong fear of needles and IVs, and this annoying obstacle has never returned. I like to say that ketamine (as with most psychedelics) often quite dramatically improves one's capacities: to care for self and others; to move through the world of experience with greater ease, mindfulness, and attention to the present moment; to love more of what is; to gravitate away from the tendency to overcomplicate things, and rather toward a preference for simplicity; and in general to suffer less. It was by way of studying philosophy for 10 years that I discovered meditation and psychedelics. I would never have imagined that a deep immersion in academia would lead me here. Absolutely everyone on the Gateway Clinics team is of the highest caliber. Locally, Zohreh is phenomenal, and creates an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to come in and stay awhile. All of the Nurse Practitioners are phenomenal, and treat their patients with the utmost care, kindness, compassion, respect, and even joy. The founder, Clay, and his wife, Ariane, are both spectacular human beings. I am genuinely impressed with every detail of this practice. The entire organization feels very much like a family, and without doubt they are mission-driven to heal the world, one bodymind at a time. In addition to safe, convenient, and legal psychedelic therapy, Gateway also offers several vitamin infusions, B-12 shots, and a perfect array of products to go, such as: targeted wellness and supplement sprays; high potency medicinal mushroom tinctures (e.g. Lion's Mane and Shitake); raw superfood chocolates featuring adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs; and a nice selection of quality CBD products, including tinctures, gummies, and flower. Life is already struggle enough in so many ways. On my view, every being alive deserves the chance at a happier, healthier, more peaceful experience of existence if at all possible. Wholeness is a birthright; and psychedelic therapies are unquantifiably vital to the end of helping to facilitate precisely that. I highly recommend this "Gateway" to infinite possibility. We are so fortunate to have it here.

This pain practice has been a real blessing for my mother as she deals with cancer in her spine…read more The staff have been gentle, patient, and very supportive throughout her care. Dr. Ho is especially compassionate and takes time to really listen, which we didn't always experience with other pain specialists we tried. He is thorough but also efficient during follow-up visits, and he helped significantly reduce her pain with steroid injections when medications alone were not enough. Walking in before the appointment, my mom could not sit up and had to lay down on the waiting room couch. After the procedure, my mom has been able to walk short distances without her cane. We are very grateful for the care she has received here.

I had seen so many specialists before due to this chronic recurring ailment but it wasnt until I met Doctor Farrell that he got to the bottom of exactly what was going on and was able to schedule me for treatment nearly immediately. I cant stress enough how caring he was and how urgently he took care of my condition. He walked me through every step of what happened, what caused it, and exactly what we were going to do to take care of it, together. He even helped me thru the hassles of my insurance company and was fully transparent about information needed or steps i needed to take to get the best coverage for my treatment plan. He truly is a god send and I owe everything to him. Highly recommended to all. A gem - 10 out of 10!! He saved my life.

My experience with Dr. Kumar's office was extremely disturbing. Several days before Dr. Kumar left…read morefor vacation, I contacted the office multiple times requesting a refill of my pain medication (Norco). Each time, the staff assured me that Dr. Kumar would handle it. He never did. Despite repeated calls and clear communication about the urgency, the prescription was not refilled before he left town. Because of this failure, I was left without essential medication for about 10 days, causing needless pain, stress, and disruption to my daily life. The office staff were consistently difficult to reach, and when I did manage to get through, I felt they showed little compassion or urgency in addressing a very real medical need. I filed a complaint with the California Medical Board regarding this incident, and I have written confirmation that the complaint is currently under review. This experience was unacceptable, and I hope it helps others choose their care providers wisely.

I wasted time and money seeing multiple doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturist and even spent over 15K at Spinatomy in Van Nuys for my lower back and not ONE helped me with my pain. After I met with Dr. Glaser I knew I was in great hands. I explained to him what I was feeling and what would trigger my pain. He did an exam and immediately knew where the pain was coming from and what needed to be done. IT WAS MY NERVES! He advised for me to get 2 Medial Branch Blocks and if they were both successful then a Radiofrequency Ablation would need to be performed. I did all 3 and I feel amazing! I can say he is one of the few doctors that I trust with my medical care and that I would highly recommend to my family and friends or anyone seeking pain management. He hasn't gotten rid of me though because now I am starting migraine treatment with him. The office is beautiful. The moment you walk in you are greeted by the wonderful ladies at front desk. Huge thanks to Leslie for always squeezing me in and answering all of my questions and to Lisa for always making my check-in process easy. Nikita is amazing and friendly always making me feel calm while doing my medical intake (it would always cause me anxiety to discuss my medical problems). And Julie, she's at check out, super sweet and helpful when it comes to insurance questions and booking appts and procedures. The surgical center, hands down the best! From front desk to the nursing team, they are all super comforting. I had Sonia and Chelsea as my nurses and they always went above and beyond.
