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

There is not even any common decency here - he kept me waiting 3 hours one day for an appt and cancelled another appointment when I was already on my way. I became close with one of his nurses who ended up leaving while I was still undergoing treatment - thanks to her I discontinued when she told me about the shady inner workings of the clinic...Cook is abusive to his staff and regularly jokes about patients behind their back's. Most people do not get results especially if dealing with systemic issues like Lyme. I spent several thousand, lured there after hearing Cook on a podcast. it was a complete waste and he became belligerent when I questioned why I wasn't seeing improvement. There are plenty of clinics in the SF bay area that offer ozone, including ozone dialysis in San Mateo and Santa Rosa, there is no reason to go here and I would highly advise that you stay away from this clinic.

At the beginning of September, I pulled or pinched something in my back and was in so much pain…read morethat I could barely walk or fully extend my legs. I was referred to Dr. Wu at Icon Chiropractic Center, and I'm so glad I went! My first impression when I walked into the office was how clean and tidy everything was. Even the air smelled fresh! They have an air filter that actually gave me a nostalgic feeling because I used to have the same kind when I was younger. My first appointment included the usual paperwork, evaluations, X-rays, and checking my range of motion. When I tell you I was in pain I mean I was literally in tears and could barely move. After just a few appointments with gentle adjustments and laser therapy, I noticed a HUGE difference. It helped A LOT! Now, three weeks later, I feel close to normal again, and my range of motion is back. By far, this is the best chiropractor I've been to--and I've been to a few. Dr. Wu and the entire staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone greets you by name, which makes the experience feel much more personal. What I also really appreciate is that they don't just adjust you and send you on your way. They educate you on what's happening with your body and teach you ways to help prevent the problem from happening again. They even offer monthly educational classes covering different health and wellness topics. I'm extremely happy with my experience and the progress I've made. I definitely recommend Icon Chiropractic Center!

After seeing six different chiropractors over the years, I can honestly say Dr. Eric is my "seventh…read moreheaven." He is truly a blessing, and words cannot express how grateful I am for everything he has done for me. When I first came to see him, I was in constant pain. My lower back hurt so badly that I couldn't even stand up straight--I was always walking bent forward. I was also dealing with sciatica, a frozen shoulder, shoulder pain, and overall stiffness throughout my body. I had almost accepted that this was just how I would have to live. In only three weeks of treatment, I would say I've improved by about 70%. The difference has been life-changing. My pain is now minimal, I'm moving so much better, and for the first time in a long time, I have hope that I can fully recover. What makes Dr. Eric exceptional isn't just his skill--it's the way he genuinely cares about his patients. He is incredibly gentle, kind, patient, and attentive. Because my body is so stiff, he always reminds me to relax and never pushes beyond what I'm comfortable with. He listens carefully, explains everything, and makes sure each visit is focused on what I need. I had planned to wait a couple of months before writing a review, but the results came so quickly that I simply couldn't wait. When someone makes this much of a difference in your life, they deserve to be recognized. My time and money have been more than worth it. This has been one of the best investments I've ever made in my health. If you're suffering from pain and wondering whether to give Dr. Eric a try, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I've learned from and been treated by many doctors over the years, but Dr. Eric stands above them all. He is truly the best of the best. Thank you, Dr. Eric, for giving me relief, restoring my hope, and helping me get my life back. I will always be grateful. Btw, staff are all adorable and welcoming!

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!

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 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.

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.

Dr. Lo assured me that I would start noticing a difference in about five days, but to my surprise, I felt relief the very same night! I slept through the night without any discomfort for the first time in ages. To top it all off, I received a follow-up call this morning to check on how I was doing--such a thoughtful touch that really shows they care about their patients. Dr. Lo and his staff went above and beyond, and I am beyond grateful. If you're looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable doctor with a fantastic team, I highly recommend Dr. Justin Lo!

When new or old symptoms pop up, she addresses them head on with a treatment plan. I originally saw her at her previous clinic but was seen recently in her "new" location. It's absolutely lovely - warm and inviting just like the doctor and staff! Dr. Fashandi goes above and beyond to help and responds even outside of office hours to make sure the patient is taken care of. She is an amazing doctor and human being and I'm so thankful for her!
