I would rate my first visit with Ayumi with four stars; she was kind, and seemed concerned about my problem. She prescribed medication and ordered an MRI under anesthesia. Things broke down in my subsequent visit with her since her follow through with ordering physical therapy was delayed by several days. We agreed upon a treatment plan of only medication and PT during that visit. About two weeks after my visit with her I developed increased pain and reached out to her to adjust my medication. A gentleman called me the day after I left a message around 9:00am to get more information but when I had heard nothing by 4:00pm I called again. Surprisingly someone actually answered the phone which had never happened before during my several calls throughout my evaluation and diagnosis. But I digress. Apparently sometime during the day Ayumi responded that I needed to reach out to my primary care provider. I have no idea if I would have been called with this message the same day. I took this to mean that she had discharged me from her practice. I really would have appreciated it if she had told me that at our last visit because it is now 4:30pm on a Friday and my PCP does not work on Mondays. So I will sit here in pain until Tuesday. I cannot recommend this practice since they appeared to have abandoned me as their patient and I will be reaching out to the Board of Registered Nursing with my complaint. read more

Noticed from the reviews that people either hate this place, or love it. I'm somewhere in between. Yes, it takes way too long to get an appointment. However, if you're looking for a spine specialist who does everything possible to help you avoid surgery, Dr Heros is that guy. In 2010 I went to Dr Heros as I was contemplating lower back surgery. He told me not to go through with it, as there were too many issues with my back for one surgery to correct. I didn't listen and had the surgery from what I now know to be a quack neurosurgeon named Francisco Soldevilla. I am now permanently disabled as a result of that botched surgery. My wife and I continue to see Dr Heros. I respect his skill and and his recommendations. read more

I returned for a Lumbar procedure because I'd had the same procedure here in 2021. I'd taken 1/4th of a 5mg Diazepam tablet prior to the procedure because I expected to have a needle inserted into a vein on my hand for anesthesia and from past experience I do not like having this done. BIG mistake. Prior to the procedure I was honest with a nurse about having taken this and she treated me like I was a drug addict. She wanted to know how I'd gotten the diazepam and why i'd taken it. Never asked about the dosage, never told me that my requested oral pain medication would not be given me prior to the procedure. So I'm taken into the room with no anesthesia whatsoever, held down while six needles were inserted on vertebrae in my lumbar region. I cannot tell you how painful this was. It was horrible. And then I was given a 5mg Oxycodone AFTER the procedure. Should I need this done again in the future there is no way in hell that I will return to Spinal Diagnostics.....none. read more

I am over two years into determining how to alleviate the pain in my back, particularly walking or standing. Three other "spine specialist" did not explain to me what the MRI was telling them... I knew I had scoliosis, but I didn't know that the muscles that run alongside the lower spine had completely atrophy. I learned more from the first visit to Dr. Heros then I had before. The other doctors did not use imaging to administer radio frequency, ablation, or steroid shots. One doctor in Clackamas County...I was willing to try him because I was told he knew what he was doing... He might have thought so... I waited four hours past the appointment time on two different occasions. He was nice, but nice doesn't help the pain. Doctors are typically referrals and it's extremely hard to find one that is knowledgeable. read more

Doctor Andersen and his clinic staff in Tualatin are like Dumb and Dumber. Nobody answers back to you for your calls/messages. No office staff person knows anything. They schedule you for extra appointments the "doctor wants to see you" for NOTHING. Then I was told the "doctor can't do that area". Is that all they do, doctor office visits? All the reviews here are right. Dr Andersen's staff read me what he said about several of my visits. His chart notes were NOT accurate. Now someone so incompetent doesn't fill you with confidence. After all the effort I invested in getting relief from my pain, I had to quit him. I DO NOT TRUST HIM or his staff who changes their story everytime I talked to them. I am afraid he would hurt me and not relieve my pain! All this while trying to cope with pain that is destroying my life. Go somewhere else. read more

Very professional people. Dr. Anderson is nice and caring individual. You feel secure when he is operating on you read more

Horrible place, Dr Heros ruined my life! He has a Good complex and won't read MRIs nor Exray. He did the exact opposite of what was expected. He's the worst ever. Spinal Diagnostics are responsible for my pain and never ending problems. Horrid man, horrible place. Don't go! They never apologized for wrong injection site nor did Dr. Heros. Dr. Heros hides behind his office staff and his injection broker Tyler Huntington who quite possibly is just as bad. All you get from them are excuses no help whatsoever. I would stop if Dr. Heros would explain why he hurt me. read more

I am very disappointed with the care and treatment I got. I went in on October 23 and was told I had to get physical theraphy. I had 12 visits and could not get back in to see the Dr Anderson until January. He ordered xrays and an MRI. 2 weeks after that I had another office visit to schedule a shot. We discussed doing a shot in both sides of my spine. 2 weeks later he gave me a shot on the side that did not hurt and denied saying we would do a shot in each side. The shot did nothing. I feel he didn't listen to me and respond in a prompt manner. There's more but I will leave it at this. I would not recommend this practice. read more

Today was my first visit here and I'm so glad that my health plan contracts with this group! Dr. Khemlani was warm and friendly, explained absolutely everything in great detail and gave me several options for treatment, both at his office and other locations. He even recommended some options like acupuncture, yoga and water therapy. He was very professional and spent a great deal of time with me. I trust him and his recommendations, so I will be returning for care. read more

I had X- Ray guided Cervical Epidural injection for shoulder and neck pain. Everyone involved was super nice and very professional. I noticed drastic reduction in pain by the very next day, and the burning has never returned. I am so pleased! I Highly recommend Spinal Diagnostics. Much better alternative then spine surgery:) read more

I've never written a Yelp review, but thought my experience here warranted one. I underwent the stellate ganglion block a few weeks ago, and the changes I have noticed in myself are incredible! My PTSD symptoms are greatly reduced. I feel like I have had a great weight lifted from me. Everyone involved in the procedure way very kind and professional. read more

One of the worst medical experiences I have ever had. They do not treat your pain or give you any information. They just want to give you as many cortisone shots as your insurance will pay for. Do not go here. read more

"This office does not verify your insurance coverage when they refer you to another provider to confirm if they participate, so beware or you will be paying your claims out of pocket that should have been paid by your insurance. I've been waiting three weeks now for them to schedule a procedure, and will most likely be waiting several more weeks to have the procedure, which if you are in severe pain is both frustrating and poor medical care. If you need to reach someone at their office to discuss your concerns, expect to wait several days to get a callback, if at all." Im experiencing this at the moment. My husband was referred to a non preferred facility, I called to leave a message with customer service and have yet to get a reply this was almost a week ago. My husband is in pain. read more

I just completed 3 months worth of treatment from Dr. Khemlani for severe lower back pain, my results and experience far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Khemlani is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him and his team if you are having any issues with your back. Thank you Dr. Khemlani! read more

Reception staff are very unprofessional, have waited 2 months to get my procedure scheduled. Every time I had contact with this office it was because I initiated it. When asked why the lack of communication and professionalism I was reply with "stuff happens" Who in a professional matter answers this way!!? Very disappointed. Wondering if I should cancel my shot appointment and go to another clinic where they actually appreciated and want to help the consumer/client. read more

I had nasty lower back pain through my left leg and into my foot. The pain gradually increased over an 8 month period to where I feared doing such simple activities as going to the store. I could not stand in one spot for any more than about 15 seconds. I am not one to go running for medical help, but the pain got so bad and debilitating I was ready to try anything. After a few initial visits to Oregon Spine my MRI revealed a .6 cm impingement the disk at L4-L5 into my spinal cord. I was referred to Spinal DIagnostics for epidural injections as a starting point. I was immediately impressed with the clockwork-like teamwork - yet friendly and professional treatment. The first injection, however, didn't seem to help much - if at all. I was pretty discouraged when I went in to the follow-up appt. Thankfully, I listened to the recommendation that I continue with at least one more injection. I made up my mind at that point that I would try no more than 3 epidurals. After the 2nd injection, things did get better, but seemed to stall out for a while. I was starting to get discouraged again, but after 3 weeks or so things started getting way better. Now, at about 3 months after the 2nd epidural, my pain is 0. I have my life back! read more

I have been experiencing back pain for almost ten years, and within the last two years, the pain gradually spread to my neck, causing frequent headaches. Before I received help at Spinal Diagnostics, I tried different doctors, physical therapy clinics, muscle relaxers, and had x-rays, acupuncture, and massage therapy. There was never a diagnosis, the pain was not treated, and most methods only gave temporary relief. Dr. Khemlani was the most helpful doctor I have met with in my experience. He asked specific questions, carefully examined the targeted pain area, and offered explanations in a clear and thorough manner using diagrams and 3D models. No other doctor had offered a hypothesis of what could have been the cause of the pain, and Dr. Khemlani made a brilliant connection to a procedure I underwent about 10 years ago (the procedure was seemingly unrelated to the back and neck pain). Dr. Khemlani shows genuine care for the patients, and the procedure was quick for the neck injections, which has been very successful so far. I have experienced fantastic communication with Dr. Khemlani, and he has given me the best suggestions and information out of any medical professional I have met with. read more
