If I could rate this place 0 stars, I would. After months of no incidents and no improvement of pain after multiple conservative treatments, injections, and ineffective medications, I was unwillingly discharged after I mentioned during an appointment to Dr. Joseph Ho that I understand he is constrained by the DEA regulations when it comes to prescribing but I wasn't happy with his care. This was seen as a threat by him and he discharged me from the clinic, telling me to go back to my primary care doctor. Even the office manager, Jessica, did not seem to understand his reasoning. She said, "Maybe he felt his license was in jeopardy." I was then sent my records where Dr. Ho in the appointment notes wrote that I "even brought up about the DEA may need to get involved." I've never been so insulted in my life. I've already filed a grievance with Medi-Cal and am looking into getting a lawyer to sue him for defamation for making this false statement on my medical records. I suggest you audio record your appointments! read more

Unable to even get an appointment for a consultation! Front office staff is extremely rude. Called on 9/8/26 as my referral for my left hip was approved on 9/2 and was told they couldn't find my referral. 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! read more

It's quite impressive to list their experience in medicine as anything to be impressed by. I doubt they have ever been a chief medical officer of HOAG, Cedar Sinai, UCLA, Stanford, USC, or multiple at Mayo Clinic Florida. So to deny visitation that was pre approved only able to state they won't prescribe medication but without reason as to why would mean they can't provide any other form of expertise in pain management so I guess thank god I didn't ask for an injection or they'd likely have me right into paralysis. Office staff were the most unprofessional I've encountered and hey the more patients dead, the more money from the government paid to not follow an oath to practice what they claim. It's pathetic to know they lied to get this profession read more

This pain practice has been a real blessing for my mother as she deals with cancer in her spine. 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. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. If your pain issues are the result of an accident, be aware that this doctor will only see you if you sign a medical lien. That lien allows him to bill you whatever amount he chooses at the end of your settlement. After consulting with an attorney, we were advised to proceed by billing our insurance directly. When we called the office to explain that we wanted to move forward without signing a lien, we were told the doctor would not see my husband unless the lien was signed -- even though it had already been determined that treatment was needed. It's very disappointing to see that getting paid at higher, non-negotiated rates seems to be a higher priority than helping patients who genuinely need care. So much for serving the community and putting patients first. read more

I want to give thanks to Dr. Joseph HO for always looking out for my mother Brenda, because of his amazing care, attention we got to find out a serious health condition my mother has been dealing with. We have gone to other places and no one ever told us what was wrong with my mother. But thank GOD that he put him on our way! Forever grateful for you! Anyone looking for Pain doctor don't hesitate to come here with DR. JOSEPH HO. read more

Update: We just wanted to update and say that my mom has been seeing Dr. Ho consistently for treatment has been feeling a lot better since seeing him. We are so lucky to have someone so professional and extremely caring towards his patients. It is hard to find a healthcare provider like that. We are wishing him & his staff a Merry Christmas. Thank you! read more

Dr. Joseph Ho is very patient and highly skilled. The prescription and steroid injections greatly relieved my mom's pain. I highly recommend Dr. Ho to anyone seeking effective pain management. read more

Profesional personal and the doctor explained step by step my procedure. Explain to me what was going on at the moment of my injections

This doctor soooo minimized my pain, tried to tell me it was due to alcoholic neuropathy, just because I was honest about my past? F this dude, I've had LEGIT arthritis in my neck, mfer tried to say it wasn't, the pain, due to arthritis? As I type this, f, should be talk texting, just switched, but was due to my alcohol abuse. Which no doubt, I own that shit, but it's in no way responsible for the pain. I'm feeling right now. Dude didn't prescribe anything for me, Just said to double up on the Neurontin that I was already prescribed, which did absolutely nothing to manage my pain. If you get referred here, and you do want to have your pain taken seriously, do not I repeat do not go to Premier Pain Management . They aren't Premier and they don't manage pain read more

Dr Ho himself is amazing as a doctor, but the office stuff is short, nasty and rude. They also think it's OK to leave someone in pain for over a month that is not allowed to take any pain meds. I would have to wait a total of two months before I would get another injection that might, or might not help with my pain. I can only take ibuprofen to help me with 4 herniated discs. There is absolutely no sense of urgency or caring about the pain that their patients are in. Not much for Pain Management if you can't help manage someone's pain. read more

Dr Kwok helped me get my life back. Out of chronic pain! Finally lower back pain free. I'm a believer in epidural injections.

My mom is a long time patient of Dr. Ho. He is the absolute best. He cares about his patients and has helped my mom's pain management tremendously. We are so grateful to him and his team. The office staff is also wonderful and very helpful. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Ho is the best! He listens carefully and thoughtfully shares his opinion and gives options. He is a caring and compassionate physician. I like that he treats me as a person and not just an entry on a computer, although his visit notes are easily accessible online. read more

I'm glad my GP referred me to Dr. Ho. He's a great doctor, really listens to you, shows care, and comes up with a good plan that best meets your needs. I also appreciate how he thoroughly explains procedures before you have them and walks you through it when it's taking place. I highly recommend him as a pain management doctor. His staff are also great with their customer service and professionalism, and show courtesy and care as well. read more

Dr. Ho and his team have been amazing. Absolutely amazing. They did an amazing job for my father. He was having difficulty standing and/or walking. Dr. Ho's team did an absolutely great job injecting him with an epidural injection and he has been on his feet and walking ever since. Since the first injection, we have gone back once more for another injection which has helped tremendously. His practice is top-notch and the results were unbelievable. The visits have been very convenient during COVID-19. Dr. Ho has saved my life. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Dr. Joseph Ho is a great doctor. Dr. Ho is patient, kind, and a good listener. I never felt rushed and he allowed me to express my medical concerns. My insurance company was having difficulty approving my MRI, but thanks to Dr. Ho and his staff I was able to get an approval from the insurance company. Thanks to Dr. Ho, I was finally able to get a proper diagnosis for my back pain. Thank you Dr. Ho and Pain Consultant staff for all your help. read more

I came in with severe sciatic nerve pain and could barely walk, the office staff was very friendly and ensured I was taken care of. After two epidural injections, I am feeling much better. I would highly recommend coming here and giving it a try. read more

I have been dealing with chronic back pain for years this is the first time a provider has sat down and really listened to my concerns and come up with a game plan! And it's working! Thank you Dr. Ho! He really is the best I'm glad I found premier pain consultants! His staff is also great I see a different staff member each time, each have been equally nice and efficient always finding the best appointment for my schedule and answering any questions I have along the way! read more

Ive been dealing with back pain for a while now. Im not the type of people to be taking pills and physical therapy was not working for me. Im so glad i was sent to seek Pain Management attention cause they sent me to the best clinic. I was heard and they helped me get the treatment i needed. Dr Ho was the top of the top.

Dr. Ho and the Premier Painter Consultants team are fantastic! They helped me tremendously with my carpal tunnel pain. I had been suffering from the pain for months, and it was really starting to interfere with my daily life. The fingers on my right hand were completely numb and I couldn't type, cook, or even play with my kids without feeling pain shooting down my wrist. I tried acupuncture for a few months before I saw Dr. Ho, but it just was not helping me. Dr. Ho took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly examine my hands and wrists. He explained everything to me and we decided to go with steroid injections for my treatment. I was literally feeling better that same day! I am now pain-free and and have already regained the feeling back in all but one finger. I would highly recommend Dr. Ho to anyone who is suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome! read more

Have been seeing Dr Kwok for 21/2 months waiting for left hip replacement scheduled for October 25. Also waiting for right hip replacement with the left knee replacement not to far off. Also major L4-7 problems with my back with another painful problem he saw with an X-ray. He had barely given me Tylenol w codeine even though I repeatedly told him it wasn't cutting the pain knowing of the other issues I had. It's like he didn't care what the MRIs showed. A week before my surgery he got the new X-ray on my lower back & he prescribed 70 Hydrocodone. After the surgery the Hydrocodone were not working just keeping me up at night & causing constipation YaY. He finally called me back & explaining that he couldn't order anything else as I still had the worthless Hydrocodone. He prescribed another pill For sleeping Trazodone that doesn't put me to sleep YaY. My PT shows up today told her how miserable I was she says she will call as I was up 3 times last night took 3 Hydrocodone & 1 sleeping pill & was still in pain & hadn't slept. YaY. PT talked to assistant & haven't heard anything back. Assistant told PT well he has an appointment on November 17th! Thanks for being so concerned about me & my health & well being. He goes from giving me Tylenol w codeine having to go to his office weekly to giving me 70 Hydrocodone That Do Not Work! Thanks for Nothing! read more

Thanks to Dr. Ho, I can finally sleep without pain! Having a back problem (disc degeneration, sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis in the spine, you name it) is no fun for anyone who goes through it. I thought I could manage it and I have put up with the pain for many years. It was starting to disrupt my quality of life , especially my sleep. After my treatment yesterday with Dr. Hi, I was able to finally sleep like a baby without the nerve pain and numbing. His staff are all exceptional and friendly. If you're suffering from pain, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Ho. You will not find a more friendly, empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional pain management doctor. We joke around and say we might be related due to our same last names, but we're not, and I was just lucky enough to have found the best doctor to treat my and my mom's pain. read more

I'm seeing a lot of 5 stars, which made me raise an eyebrow almost instantly. The staff is very polite, very professional, busy, but welcoming. Wish the doc would be as communicative as everyone in the reviews is saying though. Dr. Kwok seems to always be in a rush whenever I go in to see him, the visit is always very brief. I know this might be wrong of me to assume but, I feel that my age (26) is causing a bit of questioning in terms of how I'm treated there. Part of that assumption stems from all these 5 stars reviews. Dr. Kwok walks into the room, reads off the chart, tells u his plan, leaves. No questions asked, by either side, one side didn't get to say anything, the other side didn't have time to listen. If all the lower reviews match what I'm saying then, something needs to change and it is not the patient. read more

Dr. Kwok solved my pain with one injection when another Dr. said only surgery would fix. I have gone back hoping he could solve another larger issue and it unfortunately requires surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Kwok, he is patient, listens and is kind. Thank you! read more

Dr.Ho is my primary pain doctor over a year. I am really happy to meet him. Because he always trying to understand patient's standing and listening very carefully. As you know, my English is not good. Anyway, he knows what's the problem exactly. I've got one shot my entire period. That means he is the right person about pain. I highly recommend him, if you have a lower back pain. He is awesome and perfect doctor. read more

Dr Kwok has to be the worst Dr Ever. His Bedside manners are Terrible! He recommend that I get a Surgery to alleviate my Back Pain. He assured me this would remove almost all of my Pain! Wrong. It Doubled! So his suggestion on dealing with the additional pain was to take 4-8 Advil pills Per Day? His attitude was always rough and abrasive, And most of his staff follows suite. they are not very friendly, They always seem to be in a bad mood. Glad to have moved on to find a new Dr. that is sympathetic to a Patents Issues and needs. read more

Dr. Joseph Ho is SO CARING and just all around amazing. The way he takes time to really listen. You can tell that he is totally and completely engaged as if you are the only person in the world. I have seen him twice and was just absolutely blown away. He's never pushy. But instead offers you every option and makes sure that you're completely satisfied. It is so rare to come across such a compassionate, respectful, and humble doctor. I am honestly so lucky to have found him. Thank you so so much! read more

TOP NOTCH DOCTORS! hands down Dr. Ho gets 5 stars. I recently was diagnosed with a severe condition of Cervical Radiculopathy and was in extreme pain, but I was fortunate enough to get referred from Dr. Ali to Premier Pain Consultants. Dr. Ho's bedside manner was top notch, he showed such compassion and was eager to get me well as soon as possible. I had two Spinal Epidural Injections and feel amazing now. I feel blessed that he was able to treat me and am so grateful. Side note ; he has a great sense of humor too ;) laughter is medicine. I've also started Acupuncture at his office and I believe that has helped me as well. Natalie read more

My doctor referred me to Dr. Ho to help manage my pain. My pain was so bad that I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't know what to expect on my visit and during Covid. Dr. Ho and his staff was friendly and kept me at ease. After my visit, the staff called and checked on me to see how I was feeling. I would recommend Dr. Ho to my friends and family. Thanks for a pleasant experience. read more

Absolutely recommend Dr. Kwok . Attention to detail like I have never experienced. It's not only that-he remembers everything about me which makes me feel safe in his care. I was in so much pain a few times that I had to call in-between appointments, and the staff called Dr Kwok and took care of me THAT DAY. I was amazed at the level of care. Thank you Dr Kwok you have improved my quality of life!!!!!!!!! read more

I have a rare chronic illness that causes me so much pain I cannot live alone or do much more than simply bedrest. Because I am in a lot of constant pain, I began looking for a Pain Management Doctor. After reading the positive reviews for Dr. Ho, I decided to make an appointment with him. After the most frustrating week-long, back and forth fax issue (Dr. Ho's fax machine was broken), my mother finally made an appointment for me (I'm unable to do much). Immediately, without meeting me or knowing my illness or my pain level, etc., Dr. Ho says that he is only willing to give me the lowest dose of pain medication possible. I am currently out of my mind, nearly delusional with pain. I've been in and out of ER's not knowing what to do. However, even more confusing to me is, how a doctor could know what dosage of pain medication is appropriate for a patient he's never met and has never spoken to. I've noticed recently doctors care much more about money than patients -- hippocratic oath be damned. This is very clearly the case here with Dr. Ho. I've never been diagnosed or prescribed medication without meeting a doctor and am not interested in being treated by one who cares only about his immediate liability rather than the welfare -- the LIFE -- of a patient. read more

This review is for Dr. Ho. My mother has had back pain for a long time. It only took 1 visit to see Dr. Ho, and he immediately was able to find out what was wrong. He gave her options and explained them clearly to her. She was prescribed some pain med, and after about a month now, she does not have any pains anymore. Dr. Ho is a very caring person; he never rushed her through the appointment to go to the next patient. He also asked about the family and showed that he really cares. I definitely recommend him to anyone that I know. read more

Dr. Ho helped treat my mother's severe neck pain and she credits him with taking a precise approach in identifying the diagnosis and core issues, and the possible treatment options. He is communicative in explaining all of the above and is patient in answering all questions. read more

Love Dr.Kwok!!! Best doctor I have ever been to. He genuinely cares about you and will provide you with the best care. Highly recommend him!

I can't say more great things about this medical facility and their staff and Dr. Joseph Ho. The wait time to see the doctor is 5-10 minutes from the time you walk in, plus with covid they offer a lot of virtual visits. The office staff is very friendly and proficient. The medication he recommended has been great in reducing the pain. I was able to get an MRI fairly quickly and rule out other causes. Overall great experience and happy to be a patient there! Highly recommend! read more
