I've been seeing Dr. Kelling for about seven years, and he's been an incredible doctor throughout…read morethat time. He's performed my cervical spine epidural injections for years, and they've always been as pain-free and efficient as possible. He walks you through every step of the procedure, keeping you calm and comfortable. His skill and precision make the process quick and smooth unlike my experience with another doctor I saw once, which was far less pleasant. But what truly sets Dr. Kelling apart goes far beyond his technical ability. At one of the lowest points in my life, he looked at all of my symptoms as a whole instead of just focusing on his specialty. He told me something that completely changed my life: "It's not just one thing that's the problem, it's everything adding up and compounding on each other. You need to address each one." That one comment set me on a path to getting my life back. I went on to have three surgeries, the most significant being artificial disc replacements at C5/6 and C6/7. It turned out that I had an undiagnosed chordoma tumor growing around my C5/C6 nerves, pressing on my vertebral artery and eroding the bone. Catching that early may have saved my life. Without Dr. Kelling's insight and encouragement, I don't think I would have pursued those surgeries and I'm forever grateful that I did. His office staff also deserves credit. They are kind, patient, and incredibly helpful with navigating the insurance challenges that come with pain management. They handle a tough job better than any front office I've experienced, and they make the whole experience much smoother. When you're dealing with chronic pain, the medical system can feel frustrating and impersonal. Southern California Spine & Joint Institute and especially Dr. Kelling and his team are top-notch. You will be well cared for here. I'm back to mountain biking as a result and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you!

I never write reviews but I had to write something regarding my wonderful experience here!!…read more Dr. Arif is an outstanding pain management doctor whose compassion, professionalism, and dedication to his patients are truly remarkable. From the moment I stepped into his office, I felt genuinely cared for as he took the time to listen to my concerns and develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that significantly improved my quality of life without relying solely on medication. His thorough explanations and attentive approach ensured I was always comfortable and well-informed. The staff, equally wonderful and supportive, created a warm and welcoming environment that made each visit a positive experience. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Arif's hard work and the exceptional care provided by his entire team, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a doctor who TRULY cares about each patient's well-being.
