The clinic intake forms ask if the patient is experiencing numbness, tingling, stinging or shocks…read moreso you expect that they have answers, but after 4 months of return visits with no improvement from suggested solutions (meds, PT, chiropractic, TENS unit, etc.), I asked Dr. Sharma why I still had those symptoms after an RFA at a different pain clinic and in front of a residency student HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS as in "I don't know, I can't solve it, I don't care, or I don't plan to help you any further" which is an abdication of responsibility. So I went home and cried because clearly he was out of solutions! I shared that conversation with my chiropractor who suggested another pain clinic and on my 1st visit there they had a diagnosis and a transforaminal injection scheduled for 3 weeks later, which has greatly improved the issues I brought to Dr. Sharma. I had no idea that procedure existed. So I took the other clinic's pamphlet and returned to Dr. Sharma one last time (5 months with no relief so I planned this would be my last visit). When I told his assistant that Dr. Sharma had shoulder shrugged at my last visit when I asked why I still had numbness, she had a look of puzzlement. When she saw the pamphlet in my hand about the transforaminal epidural steroid injection she exclaimed, "Oh, we do that here!" So by now I'm slowly putting some puzzle pieces together, but like the dumb girl who still doesn't get it, I thought it was a teachable moment as I explained to Dr. Sharma minutes later what the procedure is and how it can help, showing him the pamphlet to which he replied, (in front of 2 residency students), "We don't do those here." Something didn't add up. When I got home I checked their website. Yup, they do them. So I called. Yup, Dr. Sharma does them. And he lied right in front of witnesses in the exam room. I recounted this story to other pain clinic doctors at my new clinic who stated that this was an abdication of duty of care since a reasonable expectation is that a pain clinic can treat the symptoms on their intake form and that their doctors will inform patients of their options and not make them endure pain unnecessarily, and not LIE to them after they describe a procedure that might help (that they actually perform but failed to offer to you). I trusted this guy. He was my 2nd opinion doc when my RFA doctor seemed like a hammer and I'm not a nail. Why accept me as a patient if you're going to make me cry in hopelessness after you shrug and make me look elsewhere for answers? WASTED TIME. Absolute failure to meet the objectives. I'll never know why he did that, but other patients have a right no know it could happen to them. But I advocated for myself, my chiropractor suggested a better clinic, and I'm fully informed and getting much better care now.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Neil Thakkar and his team. From my very first visit,…read morethe office staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Every appointment was right on time..I never had to sit and wait, which is almost unheard of these days. Dr. Thakkar has truly exceptional bedside manner. He took the time to walk me through every option for my lower back pain, which comes from multiple bulging discs, and he made sure I fully understood each choice. What I appreciated most was that he never pushed one approach over another .. he simply educated me, supported my decisions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident the entire way. My lumbar ablation with him was a total game changer, and I can honestly say I won't let anyone else touch my back. He's a fantastic doctor, and I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received. Highly recommend!

I'm very disappointed with my overall experience with Edicine…read more I called the front office to schedule an appointment yesterday for a lingering cough at 1:45pm and she said she didn't have anything available until after 3pm. After talking to her for a few minutes she told me to head over as she'd squeeze me in at 2pm. When I arrived, there were no patients waiting in the lobby which seemed weird that she made it seem like they were fully booked. Nonetheless, the check in process was fast and I was grateful to get in so quickly. The front office staff member took copies of my DL and insurance card, charged my card for payment and a few mins after I was taken back. The appointment was very brief; the doctor checked my vitals, throat and ears and wrote a prescription for antibiotics. The medical assistant asked for my preferred pharmacy and I gave her the cross roads. I received a voicemail this morning from THE WRONG PHARMACY 20 minutes away from where I live... stating the prescription needed prior authorization and had not been filled due to insurance issues. I called Edicine and left a voicemail as soon as their office opened explaining that I needed a different prescription sent out to the Walgreens by my house and stated the address in full, including my full name, DOB and call back number. I have called Edicine 6 times today and have not heard back from anyone. I'm going out of town tomorrow morning and it feels like a complete waste of time and money getting seen by their facility when they completely screwed up the most important part. I'm extremely frustrated to say the least.

Meaning, she takes her time with each patient. And this is probably the single most amazing thing about her. I hope she never changes this. Some people complain she is always late. So what!!!The quality of care and thoroughness of your appts with her are unmatched. If you leave with any unanswered questions, it's your own damn fault, not hers. She's willing to answer anything and everything related to your care. Above and beyond is the name of her game. It's absolutely amazing. I've never felt so cared about by a doctor in my life.

I had great experiences with this clinic until about 4-5 years ago. My experiences got way worse…read morewhen a fantastic resident left to be an attending physician. I have been dealing with chronic pain for 2 years now and needed a referral from this office to Rheumatology. I went for an in-person appointment and had my Rheumatologist picked out and their fax number, address etc. all written down. It could not have been made easier. It took them SIX WEEKS to get the referral sent properly. Along the way the front office brushed me off and wouldn't let me speak to MAs who actually knew what they were doing. They were quite frankly condescending and dismissive. When my doctor weighed in, he offered no apology and kind of shrugged his shoulders. For a specialist scheduling several months out, they added an extra month and half to my wait while in severe pain and scared out of my mind not knowing what was wrong with me. My doctor said, "well the issue here is that the attending needs to sign or else they can't accept it". OK... why are you telling me this?! I cannot create nor sign the referral as a patient!!!! That's what YOU do. I could go on and on. It's not all bad (hence the two star review instead of just 1 star) they have some good doctors there and I have had some good experiences with staff. But when I really needed help, I was cast aside.
