The facility itself is absolutely stunning, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and being able to have my family there with me brought so much comfort during such a vulnerable time. Every single nurse, staff member, and provider who walked into my room treated me like family. As a nurse myself, I know firsthand how rare it is to encounter a team this exceptional. The level of compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness here is unmatched. My CRNA listened to every concern I had, and this was by far the best I have ever woken up from anesthesia -- minimal nausea, well-controlled pain, and genuine comfort throughout recovery. Honestly, it made me emotional because you could truly feel how much these people care about their patients. Going into spine surgery could have been such a frightening and nerve-racking experience, but this team turned it into something truly special. I will never forget the kindness and care every person showed me. Thank you all so much for taking such amazing care of me. You are all extraordinary.

I see him at his Marina Del Rey office for follow-ups, and from start to finish, his care has been exceptional. Not only was the surgery a success, but my recovery has also amazed everyone--from other patients to physical therapists and even friends who've had similar procedures. People can't believe how smooth and steady my healing process has been. The incisions were minimal, and the overall care before and after surgery was top-notch. What really sets Dr. Girdler apart is his approach: he doesn't push surgery as the first option. He listens, takes his time, and builds a genuine connection with his patients. You can tell he cares deeply and takes pride in his work. I felt heard, respected, and cared for every step of the way. If you or someone you love needs an orthopedic surgeon or spine specialist, I can't recommend Dr. Girdler enough. He's the one you want in your corner.

Both Dr. Mahjoubi and his staff was incredibly responsive when I had any questions or concerns. I was on the program for about 6 months or so and it helped me at a time nothing else would. I went off it after to try TMS which was a total waste of time and money. My situation changed financially so I couldn't afford to go back but I honestly felt like it was very helpful while I was in the program. Compared to other Ketamine options, I found his pricing to be reasonable for the care offered and would not hesitate to return should my finances allow.

The last straw I had an accident with my Nasal Spray where it was frozen in a hotel room fridge and crystalized and has a slow leak.

This is suppose to be a HEALING clinic, but its done nothing that run my bank dry, and cause me MORE anxiety. Dont call yourselfs a HEALING clinic if youre just going to accuse your patients of being addicts. I made a few last ditch efforts to resolve this nicely, because $400 waste of a product really upset me and they couldnt even do a refund or a replacement. Anyways DR.M instead of acting like an adult acted like a literal CHILD and decided to BLOCK MY CELL PHONE NUMBER. So this place is a SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! Yes Ketamine/Oxytocin is wonderful for my depression and chronic pain but there are other providers out there that wont overcharge you, or medically gaslight you and accuse you of being an addict take your money and block you.

I have lived with myofascial and dystonia related pain almost my entire life. I did not know that there was a solution for this until I began some research and found Dr. Omrani's TMJ clinic in Los Angeles. At my initial appointment, Dr. Omrani and Mercedes conducted a thorough assessment of my symptoms and provided several treatment options. I was hesitant to commit to any of the options at my initial appointment, so they gave me time to think about which course of action I wanted to take after doing my own research. Their thoroughness and patience is what brought me back after deciding which treatment option might work well for me. I am pleased to say that the treatment Dr. Omrani administered is extremely effective and reduces my pain by 80-100%. My quality of life has drastically improved. I also want to note that Mercedes went above and beyond to work with my insurance company to get the coverage needed to perform the procedure. I cannot thank her enough for all of the time she dedicated to finding a solution to the issue that my insurance company was causing when it came to medical treatment. In my experience, Dr. Omrani and her team have been compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient: all of which I appreciate when receiving specialty medical care. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone who experiences myofascial or dystonia related pain. Dr. Omrani and her team go above and beyond in the care that they provide and I will absolutely be continuing my treatment at this clinic.
