I went in hoping to find a good injection doc for chronic back and neck pain and left in tears after 4 visits. During the last visit, he burst into the exam room and said " so you didn't finish your meds, huh?" I told him I had to stop steroids on day 5 because I had a bad reaction. I continued to ask him questions and explain how my pain had predictably come back. He then spent the rest of the visit yelling at me and interrupting every sentence. I barely got to finish any sentence I began. He said he had already explained that I didn't have pinched nerves ( which conflicted with my MRI report) I broke down in tears, but that didn't stop the yelling. He just started talking directly to my husband. My husband was shocked at his behavior. He did give me injection options and sent us home with literature - but honestly I never want to be in the same room as this man again My husband and I have no clue what I did to set him off. All I can say is - If you're in pain and feeling vulnerable - stay away!

I had been suffering from severe pain after a breaking my back and the operation that followed. We're talking years of the unbearable. It also meant years of searching for someone, anyone, who could fix me. Enter Dr. Lee. First thing I noticed was that he was actually listening to me. Who knew? He asked questions I had never been asked before. His game plan plenty of diagnostic tests, which proved me to a good candidate for a lumbar procedure. Voila! All of my back pain was eliminated, and I do mean all. I could do things I could not do for the past 4 years. Watch me pick up socks from the floor! Watch me stand and sit up straight! Watch me impress everyone with my new-found flexibility. All thanks to Dr. Lee and his wonderful colleague, Elizabeth. I could rave on and on, but I've already done that. Besides, I have things to do. Hello life, good to see you again.

After being placed on hold for quite awhile, they found my referral and said that I needed to be assigned to a provider and will be called back in 24 hours to schedule appointment. No call back, so I called to follow up today 9/11 and was told they couldn't find my referral again. Gave my info then the receptionist rudely asked if I had seen pain management before, which I replied, yes for my back. She said I need to submit my records for any pain management because the doctor needs to review and approve me before I can get an appointment. I said they need this even though it's for another part of my body? She said it doesn't matter, they need to see everything. At this point, I was so frustrated because she never confirmed she found my approval and added a new hoop to jump through to see if I will even be "approved" to get an appointment for a consultation. This is absolutely ridiculous and I just said thank you and hung up. Good luck getting past the front office to even get a consultation!

Dr. Gary resolved a nagging hip pain I've had on and off for years due to overuse. I've seen PT's in the past and they've all said the same things: "stretch your hip, work it out a little more, etc." and none of them every found the root cause. From the first session, I could tell Dr. Gary was different. He looked at my issue holistically and focused on the bad ankle on the same side as my bad hip. After that first session, I haven't had hip pain and for the remaining sessions we were able to focus on ankle mobility to resolve other issues related to it. I can finally enjoy playing basketball without any pain again! Thanks Dr. Gary!

I came to LPI dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis in my left foot, left ankle pain and…read morestiffness, and eventually left knee pain. I had already tried other physical therapy offices and wasn't getting any meaningful relief. Working with Gary was completely different. Nothing ever felt rushed, and within the first 30 minutes of my initial visit, I could already feel an improvement. What stood out most was how tailored the treatment was to me. It wasn't the same standard PT routine you see everywhere or exercises you could easily find on YouTube. After every session, I felt better and continued to make progress. I'm not completely pain-free yet, but I'm about 75% better than when I started. More importantly, I feel confident that continuing with the program Gary developed for me will keep me moving in the right direction and eventually get me back to running and being more active and pain-free with my kids. I would absolutely recommend Gary and LPI to anyone who has tried traditional physical therapy without getting the results they were hoping for.

After 7 years, I can honestly say Dr. Nini is still Dr. Nini -- one of the best pain management…read moredoctors out there. What surprised me even more this time was how much better the office experience has become. His front staff and back staff are easily 200% better than my first visit years ago. Everyone was professional, friendly, organized, and actually cared about helping patients. Last month, I went to another pain management doctor because Yelp made it seem like Dr. Nini's office was only in Fullerton and not Los Angeles. That doctor refused to even try trigger point injections and immediately pushed me toward an epidural. I didn't really want one, but I was desperate for relief at the time, so I went through with it. The very first thing Dr. Nini said when he examined me was that he wanted to try trigger point injections first before considering any epidural treatment. That instantly told me he was actually listening to my concerns instead of rushing me into procedures. I received the trigger point injections today and already feel hopeful again. Awesome pain management doctor, excellent staff, and still someone who genuinely tries to help his patients instead of taking the "one size fits all" approach. Highly recommended. Next week, he referred me to get nerve conduction studies to rule out a pinched nerve. Hands down BEST PM Doctor in LA!!!

She spent half the time telling me how much she hates California and my former state, Washington and why would I want to move here. I got so tired of her shoving her conservative politics down my throat, I just walked out. I don't care who anybody votes for but if I'm going to a doctor for help, I don't care to hear her politics. The second one was unwilling to listen. I got cut off repeatedly. I went through a great deal of trouble to get records, test results and other documents. She didn't even look at them. A total waste of time. Pathetic. If you're considering this place please, please don't do this to yourself. If you need good pain management I suggest Dr Maryam Rahimi at OC Pain. They listen. They care. Unfortunately they only take Optum and I had to switch to regal to keep my primary care doctor. He's an amazing doctor, but the only way I can get good pain relief is to switch back to dr rahimi's office. Synovation is easily the worst place I've ever gone for medical care. And I've tried them twice, four years apart, two different locations and two different providers. Both deserve one star.
