I specifically asked in writing about the cost of a new patient consultation before scheduling…read more During the scheduling phone call the fee discussed was $75. The confirmation email I received listed only the appointment time, address, and parking information -- it contained no mention of any consultation fee. On the day of the visit I was charged $750. When I questioned the amount, I was told that was the correct fee based on our prior conversation. I left the experience feeling the consultation fee had not been clearly or accurately disclosed in advance. The office itself also raised concerns. There was no secretary or front-desk staff, and the space is shared with a beauty salon, chiropractic office, and other services. All communication was handled directly by the doctor. The lack of transparent pricing has left me with no choice but to file a claim in small claims court to resolve the matter.

BEST PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR EVER! I thought he retired but I…read more might be wrong. If he is back I am going back to him in 2 seconds split!! If you meet him once I promise you will be greatful to me!! And him of course. None better than Dr. Hopkins!

Dr.Hopkins has been God Sent to me.He is not only one of the smartest people I've ever met( he…read moreknows a little bit about everything but a lot about medicine) and he's very empathetic while cutting through the bullshit that has been projected on him by the DEA and other non-medical licensed individuals. He is retiring soon and I think it's important that I write a review about how he has helped me with the quality of my life. I am a chronic pain patient and have been his patient for almost 23 years .I have had four surgeries just in the last five years not to mention the shoulder surgery for a grade 5 slap tear I have to face in the next year and neck surgery after that and if I don't have him to do blocks on my back and shoulder in between i do not know how I will handle the pain even with pain medication .I am devastated he's leaving his practice and retiring because there's very few people who care about those of us that have chronic pain and need pain management doctors.what I love about Dr Hopkins is he fights for his patients.He takes a stand and his courage gives me courage to stand up and fight for my rights and for others. Finding another interventional pain management doctor to replace him is going to be hard but I know he will help me because that's just the kind of person he is ,he actually cares as he's a wonderful Doctor Who cares about his patients But he's a decent human being which we seem to be lacking these days . I've always listened and done exactly what he asks me to do like walking or working out even if I don't feel like it I do it anyway. I keep my weight down, I watch what I eat I know pain management does not just involve taking medicine it involves staying in shape mentally, physically, and spiritually.Thank you Dr Hopkins. Thank you for fighting for all of us who would've otherwise fallen through the cracks and maybe not even still be here if it wasn't for you. I use my platform working for a non profit local TV show to help others and keep the Focus on the less fortunate and speak up for those that don't have the strength and courage to fight for themselves. Thank you Dr Hopkins ,I pray to God I find someone who will take me under their wing like you have taken me. Sheila Thomas

When asked, I was told by the doctor that it was okay for me to drive over an hour - right after the PRP treatment. I decided to find someone closer to my home and canceled my appointment after the second time they rescheduled. It was a blessing in disguise. Not only was I able to get a sooner appointment closer to home, that wasn't rescheduled, but I also was given clear directions, thankfully. I was told to make sure I had someone drive me home, which was accurate as I wasn't able to drive for at least 2 days after the treatment and was told to stay off my feet for at least 2 days after the treatment. I don't like giving negative reviews but thought it might save someone else $1000.

After years & years of searching & trial/error, I discovered Gonstead method of chiropractic care.

I'm so grateful to have found Icon Chiropractic & these wonderful Doctors. I even drive an hour & a half from my home to come to see them for treatment.

I'm incredibly grateful for the personalized attention!

Dr. Polsunas has done amazing things for me. For many…read moreyears, I suffered from intense pain across my nasal bridge at the slightest touch. So severe that I couldn't even wear eyeglasses to read without triggering terrible nasal pain and headaches. making it impossible to read. I previously had a highly unsuccessful surgery at a major pain clinic (Stanford). That procedure was done with no sedation, was torture-like, and ultimately failed to reach the nerve. In addition, it left me with years of forehead numbness and extra pain. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Polsunas. He quickly identified the root cause (the responsible nerve), treated it with Botox, and solved the problem. For the first time in years, I can finally enjoy reading again! In addition to being highly knowledgeable and intelligent, Dr. Polsunas is friendly, communicative, and truly a wonderful human being!

The doctors and front office staff are great; however, I made the terrible mistake of paying out of…read morepocket for the medical procedure in January 2024 and I have now spent countless hours trying to get this business to refund me $3,793.67. Anthem/Blue Cross deemed that my patient responsibility was only .63 cents, so the insurance company sent a payment to Allied in the amount of $3,793.67 in December 2024 and now Allied's patient services/billing department refuses to refund my credit card for this amount. Not only did Allied keep my money, but they are also pocketing money from Anthem, which has been deemed fraudulent by Anthem and they are now engaging in an investigation into Allied. Save yourself the emotional turmoil and run arounds, and just go elsewhere. Hard lesson learned on my part. EDIT: Anthem/Blue Cross' Grievances Department just mailed the attached letter on January 10, 2025 stating that I am due a refund of $3,793.67 and my financial responsibility is $.63 cents. The continued denial by Allied that "no monies" are owed to me is baffling. This company will indeed engage in fraudulent activity.

I simply cannot say enough good things and Sammie and her team!…read more I had an upcoming surgery and knew I needed some help afterwards. I found a place I could stay overnight but the prices were really high and I wanted to be in my own bed. Incredibly, just a few days before, Sammie's company had stopped by my surgeon's office to introduce themselves. I'm so glad they did! From the instant I contacted them, I knew I was in good hands. They had decades of he;ping post operative patients and clearly knew their stuff. They offered 24-hour care which was incredibly reassuring. I signed up for 1 w4-hour shift and quickly added a second. While we could have managed the medication management and help around the house, it's SO much nicer having someone else do it. All I had to do was focus on recovering and healing. They offer bigger services like dressing changes, medication administration and he;ing with showering (a big deal after intense surgery!) as well as smaller things like cleaning up around the house, small errands and just being there. In other words, they were my angels and exactly what I needed. I loved having them so much that I extended their services for a full 2.5 weeks after my surgery. I didn't need them overnight but they were a game changer during the day. They made the entire process so much better. Their customer service was outstanding. Much much important, though, they deeply care about their patients and are super knowledgeable about what they are going through. If you're having surgery, even if you think you won't need help, call SC Aftercare Solutions. You won't be sorry!

I cannot understand why anyone would give Dr.Gang Li a one star…read more Dr. Li has been my pain Doctor for 15 years. Dr. Li is a board certified anesthesiologist, he understands pain. He chose to be part of this clinic to have more time with his family. I started seeing him because of fibromyalgia and I have continued through spinal surgery, post and continued upcoming surgeries to this present date. He is so personable and kind, he takes an interest in my adult children and now grandchildren. Once I came in because I had severe nerve pain in my elbows , like the pain of hitting your crazy bone , only it would not stop. I asked him if he ever witnessed someone trying to cut off their arm from this pain, he responded yes I have. He then gave me cortisone injections ( he is excellent) and that pain went away instantly. Don't get me wrong he follows the guidelines on prescriptions as far as the current situation with Vicodin. He may not agree to some of the aspects associated with the decree. I have the utmost respect and admiration for him and his staff. Do not be discouraged, if you do not get a quick call back. I have flown from Minnesota just to get on his schedule! Now that I am in San Bruno, I have my daughter go to his office , who lives in Campbell to make my next appointment, if for some reason I have not made a follow-up. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A FOLLOW-UP APP I am an ex-ballet dancer, equestrian and 10k runner. I believe many people go to Comprehensive Sports and Medicine so they can continue their physical endeavors. As I have and will after these car accident related set-backs

I'm absolutely enraged at how Dr. Maliheh Massih treated my mother at her first appointment. We'll…read morenever come back here and I'll recommend anyone and EVERYONE against this place. Dr. Massih was dismissive, rude, and disrespectful towards my mother's request about disability and was insistent on my mother being employed and working through her major lumbar and cervical issues (diagnosed spinal stenosis, degenerative discs, nerve pain, & more) even though my mother hasn't been able to physically work for over a year. Does this doctor want people to purposefully worsen their physical conditions so she can repeatedly inject them and prescribe them with pain medication? Not only that, but Dr. Massih was impatient and rushed her appointment. How can you get to understand your patient's issues if you don't give them the time to explain their ailments? And even with the limited time she gave my mother, she would talk over her and ignore her concerns. She even angrily opened up the appointment by asking my mother "why [she] was even here." And when my mother asked Dr. Massih to explain the side effects of a certain procedure, Dr. Massih insisted that she would only tell her once they were cleared to do the procedure. So, basically, she wanted to pressure my mother into making an appointment for the procedure first before explaining anything. Is this a doctor who cares, or a doctor who simply wants money? I think it's clear what her aim is. Regardless of whether or not Dr. Massih is a good doctor, our first impressions of her are highly negative. I'll never be able to trust someone so rude, dismissive, and uncooperative, and I strongly suggest others to avoid this doctor.
