I have had muscle tension and pain for years, I work at a desk all day and workout frequently so…read morehave pretty severe neck, upper back, upper body tightness. I have tried many different strategies to combat the pain but nothing worked. I tried acupuncture, massage chairs, having my friend massage me, foam rolling and relaxation techniques. Massages work only for a couple hours before the pain would come back. I became very skeptical of any pain relief strategies because the pain would always resurface within a few hours. I was lucky to have found Ron through my work. I have seen him for about 2-3 months, for a half hour session 2-3 times a month. After my first 30 minute session with him, the pain miraculously dissolved. I anticipated the pain and tension to resurface after a few hours (just as it always does after a massage) but that did not happen. I felt great for days and weeks. The difference is that the sessions with Ron are very interactive, unlike a typical massage session. He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, he teaches you how to manage the pain on your own by showing you some simple strategies to work your muscle knots and tightness away at home. Our thirty minute session is very interesting but highly effective. It's different but in a good way. Every time I come back from a short session, I feel a greater range of motions for days and weeks. I am very lucky to have been able to experience the range of techniques Ron has shown me. He is very kind and charismatic. I look forward to working with him more to combat my muscle pain and learn more strategies. I highly suggest seeing Ron as opposed to typical massages if you want long lasting pain relief!!

I went back for follow up with his PA Mike who said, no problem, very common, we'll repeat it ASAP and I'll submit for the authorization for that today. I gave them a week and then called to check the status. Left a message. No call back. Next two days, same thing again. Day 4 I called my insurance, they said nobody has submitted authorization for anything on your behalf. My insurance offered to call his office. They left a message. Still no call back or action. I have moved on to someone else who has the ability to follow through. They sure did bill my insurance for that visit that I got nothing out of though! Additionally I am perturbed by the onslaught of advertisements in his waiting room AND exam rooms for sexual enhancement and cosmetic treatments he offers. Perhaps his attention is too divided?

Got ordered PT from my physician and was offered here. I wasn't excited (had never been to PT…read morebefore, but obviously others find it useful) so I asked about price. I was quoted $40 and ONLY $40. Sounds low, but insurance is a confounding business so I just kept asking. Everyone said Insurance covers everything else. Just $40 for me. I called the UCSD Health Billing Estimators and confirmed: $40 is all I would ever have to pay. They called my insureance. More confirmation. I asked the receptionist and she said its only $40. Repeatedly. I bet if I walked in or called today they would give the same ridiculous erroneous information with a straight face. I went to the consult which was fine --- I'm always ready to pay for some expertise and to know what's up. As I suspected, it was expensive, but OK -it's a lot of activity. Still nothing like what they suggested it would cost, but whatever. Then the return visit, however, was not even worth the $40. A few stretches in half an hour and a template printout of some stretches to do at home. I could have gotten this from the internet and not wasted a morning with traffic and terrible valet parkers (so slow and unhappy and incompetent ... what an unnecessary line) and a half hour of stretching. It was assumed by the staff that I would return, and I hoped it would be better, so I tried once more. It was just more uselessness. Barely worth $40, but definitely not the hundreds I somehow ended up being charged (plus $500+ for the initial visit). Either their estimators asked Anthem Insurance the WRONG questions or Anthem gave the WRONG answer. Either way, as you can see from the pics, I was charged an order of magnitude more than I was assured I would be charged. I'm obviously the only one who did nothing wrong yet these two parties can't settle on how to get accurate info to an incoming patient. The patient then suffers. The parade of customer service people I worked with then pointed fingers at Anthem Insurance, who in turn pointed fingers back at UCSD. I submitted an appeal to Insurance which (duh) was rejected and went back to UCSD who must have felt sorry for me because Ana just wrote off 20% like someone should have at the beginning. She is the reason for 2 not 1 star. Conclusions: the PT is way overpriced (I hope it works for some, It was pretty useless to me) and 2) one of the estimators literally said they NEVER saw such a huge variance between estimate and actual - lucky me to get the least competent employee at the outset of this debacle - so make sure you REALLY need this for your health otherwise just go to someplace with honest upfront pricing.

I was told that the office would submit for an authorization for my treatment of migraines the same day, and to call back in a couple of weeks. My last treatmewnt outside of previous health plan had not worked so they knew I was suffering migraines daily. When I called back, I was to ask for Ed, and he never seemed to return my calls, and after I would call again leaving once again my work#, he would leave a message on my home phone. 1-1/2 mo later I called my insurance and found out they never submitted for an authoritzation, so I called again. Took me a couple of times, like usually, and them returning calls to my home. I was not able to ever talk to an office manager when I asked for one. I told them tIhey never submitted, no appologies, etc. I had to cancel old authorization and called them to tell them they could fax and get one on a urgent priority within 24 hrs. per my insurance and gave them fax#. n the meantime I was in pain, and asked the doctor to call in meds for me. Three times he was to call me back and never did. Three weeks later I get a call on my home#, authorization was in, but cannot get an appointment for treatment for weeks, or a return phone call from the person who schedules this from the doctor. I work in the medical field, and if we treated are patients like this, we would all be fired! They have not returned calls, not submitted for authorization, then fail to try to get me out of my pain as soon as possible, telling me to call at end of week, and they will try to schedule for the next two weeks. I asked to leave a message for the doctor and was given a bad time for that stating I would have to call his other office, when I know they just shoot him an email anyway. Research your doctors. I feel if their staff is this bad, and the doctor shows his lack of concern, you should run the other way!
