I have been a patient of Dr. Dardashti, at Facey Medical in Mission Hills, for the past year, and I am incredibly grateful for the care I have received. I suffer from arthritis in my neck, and the pain was affecting my daily life. From the initial visit, Dr. Dardashti took the time to listen to my concerns and ordered an MRI. Dr. Dardashti thoroughly explained the results of the MRI, provided a diagnosis of my condition and developed a treatment plan. What I appreciate most is Dr. Dardashti's knowledge, professionalism, and genuine concern for his patients. The treatment plan he provided has helped manage my pain and I feel 100% better! Furthermore, Dr. Dardashti's staff is friendly, professional, and efficient! I highly and strongly recommend Dr. Dardashti to anyone seeking compassionate and effective pain management care. Blessings! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Dashdarti at Facey Medical Group in Mission Hills. From the moment you walk in, you feel listened to, respected, and genuinely cared for. Chronic pain can be overwhelming and exhausting, but Dr. Dashdarti takes the time to truly listen and understand your concerns instead of rushing through appointments.

After dealing with knee replacements, and newly added back issue things looked bleak. Pain levels were high and recovery was zero.

He goes above and beyond to know what your day today activity is and he truly cares about the people who come into his office. I can't say enough about this incredible human. I could not do all that I do without him. I take care of my two grandbabies I care from my mom who's 83 in bedridden I run a full-time business and I try to fit a workout in twice a week!

I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Dardashti. He is one of a kind, caring, respectful and a great listener. He has been my pain Dr. for over 10 years.

A few years ago, my husband started having issues with his back and he is currently a patient of Dr. Dardashti. He has guided my husband through severe back pain which thankfully is now gone. It was not a quick fix and Dr. Dardashti was vigilant in trying to find the right path to help my husband. I can't tell you what a difference he made in our lives.

Dr. Dardashti gave us what no other doctor could; kindness and the ability to listen. He helped my mother find the best pain regimen and had patience for every question no matter how trivial it may have been. read more

During an emergency i tryed to get some pain pills because the 12 the ER gave me were gone and i am in a lot of pain. After two day and at 5 pm Friday he denied my request with out talking to me. He said i need to wait for my appointment a month away! He said to go back to the ER! Thats a caring Doctor(NOT). I have been in bed since i went to the ER and its very pain full to lay down much less go to a hospital ER. I would give 0 stars if i could! On the facey he Web page they have a lot of reviews that are 5 stars but there's not one name buy them That's not a true evaluation tha this doctor he is non caring! Avoid at all cost! read more

This dr is by far the worst at Facey! He's very new to Facey. The only good thing about him is his tone other than that he's very condescending and doesn't offer a treatment plan. I asked him for one and didn't receive anything he was absolutely horrible! What kind of doctor doesn't make themselves available to their patients?? I asked him if I could contact him by way of the office should something go wrong and he said no. He also lied in my chart by stating we went over things which we didn't I will be reporting him to my insurance company! He's just looking for a quick money grab! Facey hired a real life quack. If you're suffering like me and want a physician who truly cares and wants to help you get back to living a normal life this isn't the dr for you. Run the opposite direction he will try to Sabotage your medical record as well. read more

Dr. Dardashti treated me more like a friend than a doctor. He's compassionate and very thorough. I went to see him for my neck pain, he showed me my MRI images and taught me posture changes that have helped a lot while I'm on the computer. I sent a friend of mine to see him and he's doing much better too. He likes to explain things and answer questions. So far so good. read more

Dr. Dardashti is a true professional who is honest and ethical. He knows his stuff and is up to date with the most effective procedures. His bed side manner is very comforting and helpful. I recommend him without hesitation. read more

So happy to have found a Doctor that knows what they are doing. I was referred to Dr. Dardashti through a friend after I mentioned I was suffering from serious back pain. Dr. Dardashti's bedside manner from the beginning to end was very calming and kind. The injections were great. Serious pain relief. Dr. Dardashti also had me go to a physical therapist to strengthen my back. I'm walking better and finally able to play basketball again. Dr. Dardashti, thank you for your help. read more

I was referred to Dr. Dardashti through a coworker for my knee pain after a workout injury, he was a life saver. I had been suffering from pain for about a year and a half, feeling pain with simple movements, and not able to do all the workouts that I love. Dr. Dardashti was extremely patient and caring, and walked me through every step of the process. I am now back to doing my Bootcamp classes with no pain, and am a much happier person. I am forever grateful. Thank you Dr. D! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Dardashti's for several years and he is AMAZING!!! Before I was his patient I had trouble finding anyone who could give me a proper diagnosis, treatment plan, and most importantly cared about my well being. His approach to both people and medicine is excellent. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Dr D is a great doctor who's efficient and gets to the point. You can tell he's experienced and knows what he's doing. He had already ready about me and knew what the best way to treat my back pain was right away. After some therapy, decreasing my medications and two shots I'm almost 100% and have got back to my daily walking. Thank you Dr D and Facey staff! read more

Dr. Dardashti is the worst pain management doctor I have ever Seen. I wanted to change my pain doctor because I moved so I saw this provider recently. He would not Prescribe me any pain medication for my chronic neck pain, four fractured ribs & a rotor cup injury from a recent fall. I had been on the medication in question for three years and he said I was on a high dose. All he suggested was to return to my old pain management office. I just thought it was very strange that a pain management doctor was not interested in helping me with my pain. So what a waste of $75.00. I believe he called my primary care doctor as well because he was uninterested in helping me as well and said alot of the same things the pain doctor was saying. I should have just got up & walked out of the office but I was and am still in alot of pain. I feel foolish trying to reason with an unreasonable doctor which I don't like to even call him a doctor. He had no sympathy for me at all. I even had seen him years ago when he was with UCLA in T.O. and he was prescribing medication back then. Would never recommend him to anyone! read more

Dr. Dardashti is a talented and compassionate doctor. He gave me some excellent advice regarding knee pain. He is very patient and explains everything in a way that is very easy to understand. If you are looking for a doctor to help you with pain, look no further than Dr. Dardashti. read more

In one word, Dr. Dardashti is compassionate. He truly understands all the complications that go with pain that has been non responsive. I've had two cortisone shots and have an ablation of the nerves in my back scheduled. He is gentle and talks you through the procedures to ease your anxiety. If the procedures are uncomfortable, Dr. Dardashti will listen to you and go slower or find a more comfortable path to the nerve. During office visits, he really listens and only alters your medications with your permission. I truly feel a parter with him in my care, and he makes it clear that is his goal. He's said many times if I'm unhappy with a regimen he starts me on, it will only add to the pain and stress. Dr. Dardashti has been my doctor for about two years now after several others. If you are looking for someone to listen to the trial you've been suffering with pain and all that goes along with it, please see Dardashti. He will guide you with compassion away from the cycle of pain while keeping you as stress Free as possible. Also, his nurses are wonderful and all calls are returned usually within a few hours and most of the time by Dr. Dardashti himself. What a gem of a doctor with a caring and tender hearted bedside manner. read more

Excellent Doctor. Goes above and beyond for his patients and treats everyone with compassion and dignity. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for help with chronic pain. read more

Be sure you ask how much his office visit is and what your insurance will cover. He charged $800 for a short conversation with 2 prescriptions. They didn't even have my records in advance of my appointment. Since he's out of network I am stuck with a $400 bill. They lowered it to $250 which is still completely unreasonable! This is everything wrong with insurance today. The absolute gall of charging $800 is just disgusting. read more

It's almost impossible to get through to a human at this office. Expect very long hold times (like about 18-20 or more minutes of recordings before a human picks up). When you finally get through, it's not the office you need but an operator for all of the doctors in multiple offices. Then you have another long wait if you actually want to talk to someone at the office. Then when/if you ultimately talk to someone, the team is not very courteous in my experience/opinion. Note: if you are 15 minutes late for your appointment, you might be turned away even if you're in your late 80's, disabled and transported there in a wheelchair by medical transport. You won't be able to get through on the phone easily to tell them you're running late due to a late medical van pick-up. This was our experience, calling to give them a heads up, getting hold recordings etc., arriving at the building 15 minutes late, then turned away at the office. The medical van had left, in the meantime, so there was an hour and 45 minute wait at the building for the medical transport to come back and pick the patient up from a doctor visit that never happened. The level of compassion at the office about this predicament differed from some other medical offices I've dealt with which exhibit some degree of understanding for elderly disabled patients who are dependent on medical transportation companies which sometimes are not on time. Needless to say, we won't be returning. read more

My regular doctor of many years, Dr. Wilson, referred me to Dr. Dardashti for pain. I have multiple interconnected problems that cause me pain. It takes an expert to really hear a non-expert. If you can engage Dr. Dardashti and allow him to know you, he will take care to know and to understand you. He will give you opportunities and options for pain relief. He is great doctor- very deliberate, calm, reasoned. He will help you. Like many super competent people, he has a great staff. Abel, his assistant, has helped me almost as much as Dr. D., especially with surgical procedures. Abel appreciates that I am in pain. He is unfailingly cheerful and positive, even though I sometimes am not. He makes me feel better and more confident before the doctor gets in the room. If a positive state of mind is important to surgical success, then Abel is important to my pain relief. read more

Pain management specialist Dr. Simon Dardashti has really impressed me, and I am happy to recommend him. He seems to be very experienced in targeting sources of pain and taking steps to alleviate chronic pain. He is open to new ideas and is a good listener, too. read more

I have had chronic lower back pain, due to a sports injury, for over 15 years. I have tried various forms of treatment options ranging from: acupuncture, chiropractor, physical therapy, sauna/jacuzzi, massages and medical pills targeting pain/muscle spasms. After years of back-and-forth treatment options, I finally decided to see a physician that specializes in Pain Management. This is where I was introduced, by a colleague of mine, to Dr. Simon Dardashti. My colleague praised how kind, professional and cost efficient Dr. Dardashti tried to always be for his patients. Now that I have received treatment from him, I could share the same point of view. Dr. Dardashti gave the time for me to explain my past medical condition, the treatment options I have tried and failed, along with proposing a "game-plan" approach as to what should be done in my best interest. He treated me as an equal, respected my time and showed great empathy to my given condition. I am now pain free and will recommend Dr. Dardashti as the physician to go to for those also suffering from chronic pain conditions. My advice, don't wait to see a professional, just go to one immediately to stop the wasted time and money you will be spending along the way. Thank you Dr. Dardashti! read more
