This place is doing accchs scams. Kicked me off pain meds because "I don't want to get better" I'm…read morepermanently disabled, and this doctor JUST diagnosed me with scoliosis and then didn't even talk about my X-rays, decided to kick me off pain meds instead. Because I no longer have accchs. They are able to bill accchs $677 for every visit, but now that I pay cash they only make $179 per visit. They forgot to send in my drug tests multiple times! I knew I'd report them to the state board and accchs months ago. I've been talking about all the sketchy shit to my mom and disabled friend for months. So I knew I was going to report them from the start. I am apart of the reason the fbi shut down a ton of sober living homes for human trafficking and double billing. I hate when people break the law and don't follow rules! I'm autistic it's hard to ignore. It's very easy to see when an accchs scam is happening and I felt it happening the second he gave me 10mg oxycodone without starting me on 5mg first. And then he kept letting my pee tests expire and not send to lab. Today the doctor says he is cutting me off pain meds because they don't feel comfortable prescribing them long term. I asked them if I broke the pain contract, they said no. I later get an email saying I'm permanently discharged because I broke The pain contract. They kicked me out of their practice because I am self pay. Discrimination. They're also not billing using correct address' and he's practicing in multiple states with multiple address. I talked to my pharmacist right away and told them everything I experienced and they told me YES this doctor is doing illegal shit. 1/26/26 they said I no longer need to do drug tests to receive my meds, that's illegal. My pharmacist is helping me with filing the report to accchs and the state board. Oh yeah he also gave me a 14 day supply of meds but wrote on the bottle it was a 7 day supply of meds. So I felt like he was trying to trick me or something. I'm not a drug addict so I use my meds properly and this little weird shit he did, did not affect me, I never took more than I was supposed to. But prescribing meds wrong on purpose is illegal as well, malpractice. I've been on prescribed controlled substances since I was 8 years old, I am well aware of how it all works. I've been permanently disabled for 12 years also. And then he tried to get me to do as many x rays as possible before my insurance cut off. He found scoliosis and then cancelled me as a patient immediately. Why would someone do that? He wouldn't even discuss my imagining he ordered. He made me pay $179 to get discharged today. So yeah I knew immediately the second he prescribed meds wrong and gave me 10mg oxycodone right away that he was crooked and I WAS FUCKING RIGHT!!!! If you ever feel weird at pain mgmt ask the pharmacist about it. They can definitely reassure you if you experienced something illegal. Other than that, while I was being prescribed oxycodone for a few months, the appointments were fast and scheduled normally. Just nothing the doctor ever did was normal. Letting my pee tests expire multiple times, writing wrong medication information. Accchs would only allow a 7 day RX and he gave me 14 days and put 7 days on the bottle, so that's called LYING. Lying about how much you're prescribing. All I see is red flags at this place.

Great doctor. After a few surgeries and years of continuous physical therapy, I was in great shape…read morebut was still in pain. Checked in with ortho doc and he said there were no problems with the hip. Doctors always wanted to address it as sciatica but back surgery didn't resolve it either. I had been seeing Dr. V at other doctors' request for injections. Finally I asked him to try diagnosing my issue. He determined that it was Cluneal Nerve damage and addressed it right away. He gave me a couple of options to choose from which is always a good thing. I am pain free (a couple of minor issues here and there) without any pain meds. He's the best!

I do not recommend this practice, particularly for patients with complex conditions such as POTS or…read moreEhlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). The provider appeared ill-informed--or unwilling to engage--in managing pain for these populations, despite CT and MRI imaging clearly confirming bulging discs and pinched nerve. Pain management was extremely limited: only five days of pain medication were provided, followed by a follow-up appointment scheduled 14 days later, leaving no plan in place to manage pain in the interim. The injection appointment itself was horrific. The provider did not use the medication specifically recommended by the neurologist for EDS patients. Additionally, my support person was initially not allowed in the exam room, despite clear instructions related to my child's POTS. Those instructions were not followed by the medical team, and I subsequently passed out. Rather than providing appropriate care once my child lost consciousness, staff discussed calling EMTs instead. They ultimately left the appointment with another 14-day follow-up scheduled and still no effective pain management plan in place. Overall, the experience felt dismissive and unsafe. Patients with complex or chronic conditions deserve informed, coordinated, and compassionate care--this office did not provide that.

I paid $2500 cash on my AMEX card for a procedure that insurance would not cover. Now nearly a year…read morelater, Billing is still harassing me for illegal double payment! I just had my knee replaced after two surgeons I went to said this Provider took my money for a procedure that would not and could not possibly work when I needed a new knee and that cartilage cannot be grown back as I was informed! The current bill totals $3,122.04 for a procedure on 4/11/24 which they state I owe $1,388.93. I paid in full cash (AMEX) of $2,500. If one can do the math, that leaves only $622.04; however they cash charged me and I paid in full! The office manager said last summer in a phone call (as I moved across the country) that she would take care of this when their billing company (who comes up as spam) couldn't process my account correctly! Now I am being harassed to pay nearly double because after cash pay they submitted illegally to insurance! DO NOT GO to this office! The procedure I had done was a scam, and they have illegally hunted me down across the country to continue paying monies I do not owe!

Dr. Goel has been great so far. I have gone to her for work on my spine and my head. Unfortunately,…read moreeveryone who comes to see her is in a crap ton of pain, so it's not fun appointments, but she makes it a lot better. I've had about 4 procedures done with her and I have to say she and this office are the most efficient doctor's office I have ever been to. I show up ahead of time for my scheduled appointment and the office staff is already calling me back at the time of my scheduled appointment. That is unheard of. You are usually waiting for about 30 minutes to an hour before you even see the doctor, after your scheduled appointment time. WOW! What a difference. Each appointment and procedure went off without a hitch. She communicates very well and was very knowledgeable about my pain, where it was radiating, and what procedures would be best to help me find the maximum comfort for all my diagnoses. The facility is clean, all the nurses are kinda, the only thing we had an issue with every time was finding a deep and big enough vein for my IV. Each time they had to call the big dog RN nurse, to place my IV. Sorry everyone, my veins stink lol! Other than that, things really did go well. Each procedure was a bit painful because I was awake but it was bearable. I am about 2 months post-op from my last procedure and things are still healing. The pain has definitely gotten better, it takes a while to heal, but I am optimistic that things will continue on the up and up. Thank you for being so attentive and treating me like family. Not once did I ever feel like just another patient, just another number through the door. Excited for my follow-up after the beginning of the year to see how things are healing. I will continue to see Dr. Goel as long as needed! Thank you for all that you do!

Don't waste your time. My first impression of this office and Dr. Goel is very pretentious. Aside…read morefrom the billing staff, no one in this office is polite, friendly, or caring. It's very clear that Dr. Goel is ONLY about money, not the care of her patients. I needed a procedure and needed time to come up with the money (since she refuses to allow payments), so when I finally had the money, I called to schedule and they wanted me to come back for ANOTHER consultation (so we are stating over even though NOTHING has changed), and at that, it would be 2 weeks before I could even get that new consultation. What a waste of my time, but hey, she'd be able to collect on another visit! Overall - very dry, sterile environment and I would not recommend.
