As a Employee and a patient of IPS Dr Lipman and the rest of the Doctors and employees are some of…read morethe best crew I have ever worked with or had the pleasure of being a patient of. I have been in the pain management business for about 28 years and have worked with most of the doctors in the chico, and Redding area and by far Dr Lipman is the best. He cares about his patients and always does his best to make sure the treatment is right for the patient. He has done several treatments on me with phenomenal results.

They canceled my surgery 4 days before it was scheduled and confirmed and dropped me as a patient…read morebecause I reported their negligence and incompetency. It was my right, and I felt obligated to protect other patients being abused, to report Interventional Pain Solutions to health authorities and file for financial compensation for charges they caused. I stated I would first attempt to get my health insurance company to reimburse me. I just saw Dr. Daniel Bonis the day before some stranger I never heard of called me late in the evening after their hours. She didn't say who she was until I asked then rudely relayed that the owner, Dr. Zachary Lipman, won't see patients who have "threatened them." Apparently making them take accountability for their misconduct and pointing out medical malpractice is "threatening" because they know they are in the wrong over multiple mistakes. I discovered they were about to perform a procedure on the wrong vertebrae and it was the incorrect procedure! I have been a patient with IPS for 3 plus years and had a great relationship with my former PA, Melanie, at the Lincoln office before closing. I got along just fine with all the doctors at the Chico office. It wasn't until I complained to the manager about the behavior of the staff and numerous acts of malpractice by Dr. Omalade Maurice-Diya that there was a problem. The clinic manager, Kristi, apologized for all their misconduct and stated she would talk to Dr. Dina's rude, aggressive assistant because she had heard complaints about her before. I was just trying get reimbursed for the few hundred dollars I am due and my health insurance was most likely paying. How stupid are these people to bring a law suit upon themselves over that and me trying to get treatment they were denying me? What else are they hiding? It's all about to be revealed now, because, I am going to sue for a ton of money since my already delayed appointment was canceled and I have to start all over. They caused me too much stress, pain and wasted too much of my time. A line of integrity and ethics has been crossed. I now have to suffer unnecessary even longer because they are more concerned with saving their own asses. Dr. Bonis and I had a great conversation and he agreed I should have been getting better treatment and a surgery a while ago for the severe new neck injury. He said he would get me in for multiple procedures over the next few weeks and apologized for the multiple mistakes made. His assistant will be called as a witness as he was taking notes. I have a lot of documents as evidence so IPS basically screwed themselves. I also have a witness to all my conversations. My attorney warned me, after one of many ordeals, that they are shady and money greedy, trying to pull off ways to make me a cash cow at my expense. Apparently she was right! The ER doctors I saw, my primary doctor, my psychiatrist, my health insurance case worker, and the authorization department and other pain management patients, all urged me to seek out another doctor's opinion before getting any procedures. Thank God I double checked their work before they cut into me, despite all the attitude I got for wanting to check the suspicious misdiagnosis and incorrect procedure information. Their staff alone is another story. Extremely belittling, aggressive and unprofessional. Dont work in the medical field if you hate people! I'm appalled at their behavior and the countless ways they have harmed me and who knows how many others. They were incompetent on many levels, but causing me additional pain and suffering by denying a procedure they put me through hell to get was the last straw. They made multiple mistakes sending in my authorizations causing weeks of delays. So not, I'm not threatening, I'm promising, you will be sued IPS. Stop taking advantage of sick people for financial gain!

AVOID GOING TO THIS PLACE! It's the worst so-called drs office I've ever been to. You are literally…read moretreated like crap and they don't believe you are in pain. They made me go for a different X-ray every month, gave me an epidural in the wrong place, gauged my insurance for expensive worthless medications that didn't work. This place is a total joke! It should be shut down. I agree with other yelp reviewers that this place is judgmental and they make up BS. They don't want to treat you, they just want to take the insurance $. This place should be investigated for incompetence and fraud. They made my condition worse. So, run as fast as you can from this place!

I just had a very unpleasant experience with Maria regarding my referral from April 22, 2019…read more (Please understand I have been suffering from chronic pain since December of 2018). Maria informs me that "the ball was dropped" regarding me due to an outstanding balance of $25 from October 2017! An outstanding balance I was completely unaware of nor informed of, that I can recently recall. Twenty-five dollars... I was also informed it was "E-mailed" to me, which happens to be the only way your office apparently contacts people, according to Maria. Well, then, it most likely ended up in the Spam folder and is no longer accessible. I do not appreciate speaking to someone who responds in a very blase' way. I am upset because I have gone two months waiting, without a clue. The meloxicam which I had been on since April, which had been helping, I can no longer take. This means my pain is back in full swing and the pain's return is what reminded me of the elusive referral I have been waiting on. We need to resolve this. I apologize for losing my temper yet if "E-mails" are the only way your office contacts people to let them know what is going on perhaps another method should also be used. My Doctor's office ALSO had no clue what was going on and asked me to give your office a call. Let us please resolve this and move forward

Dr. Reeder had me prescribed with a medication that worked well for me. I was finally out of pain…read moreand able to slowly get off prednisone after over a year. But, I ended up having to beg for my medication to be called in every single month. I would call and it still wouldn't have my medications called in to the pharmacy . So, I would call again. Dr. Reeder told me to use the patient portal online because his staff would forget to give him message But I could never get it to work, even after being given a new password on three occssions. Each month after getting my prednisone dosage down I would have to bring it back up to control the pain due to not having my methotrexate. I finally called today for the third time this month (it is the 21st) and am upset and in pain. I asked if every patient has to beg for their medication every month and was told "yes, it is a controlled sunstance" I am done. I don't know how I will deal with this pain but I will do it without being treated like a third rate human. I do not advise anyone who is of lower income to even bother with this office. Sadly it's the only rheumatologist in my area my insurance would cover. So there again is no help for me. But, I refuse to be treated like I'm not worth any effort because I'm not as financially well off as some others. That's exactly what I feel is the issue.

I have not been able to get surgery…read morefor many reasons, for one, I dont even know if non perfect people could even fix my hands and wrists or whether it would be worse ... I was referred to shasta orthopedics & they would not let me even be seen or even have a consultation unless I filled out their huge very invasive extensive paperwork ..I told them I cannot write so much with all of my injuries, but they dont care ..because it is all about them ...they were rude and bossy and so unconcerned about my pain and condition and did not offer to help fill out the paperwork at all ...also I tried to contact a doctor on the weekend, and no one was available ,,the recording said press # 1 to speak to a doctor but that number never rang ..so I can see that I would not get any follow up care & their after hours doctors are non-existent plus these doctors are getting so bold and demanding, they expect us to give them a synopsis of our entire life, asking us very inappropriate invasive questions that have nothing to do with why i went to them in the first place .. I am so sick of the way the medical industry is these days ...they have traded the Highly revered Hippocratic Oath for a selfish hypocritical oath of greed and power taking care of themselves , padding their own already thick wallets & they truly do not care about us at all...then they were sending me more mail when I told them i had no interest in playing their selfish uncaring inconsiderate games ..I would not recommend this place to anyone , & the other reviews i have read are the same ,,, so Shame on you ! I hope your poor excuse for a caring company crumbles & that all people see how horrible you really are

Ended up having to be transported to the ER and Dr.Rudas was the treating physician. Once I awoke confused Dr.Rudas reassured me and had explained what was going on and in detail the entire tests he would be running on me, from MRI, EKG,CT workup. He even made sure I wasn't alone until my family and boyfriend came to see me in the hospital. When I was having difficulty controlling my bladder and soled myself, due to not being able to control any major muscles, he made sure the nurse changed and gave me extra clean bedding and blankets. I took all the proscribed meds that he told me I should take, and made sure I had the best care every time I was at the hospital for blood work or test. I thank Dr.Rudas for his swift diagnosis and wonderful treatment given by him ,during my stay at the hospital.
