I don't often post reviews, unless I have a great experience, or a really really bad one. This one…read morewas exceptionally bad. Er-Kai Gao was incredibly rude and condescending to my wife and I every single time we spoke. He regularly made unsolicited, unprofessional comments and suggestions about our lifestyle and what line of work I should pursue. At first it was off putting, but when he continued making comments and suggestions in the same vein, I communicated my intent to get cleared and pursue my intended line of work as planned. I noticed that he did not like this and essentially held my ability to drive hostage, and consequently my livelihood. I had a pair of fainting spells, which doctors and exams deemed to be vasovagal syncopes (later found out they were triggered by dehydration). Understandably, we were concerned and sought specialized care and my driver's license was suspended while I underwent testing. My PCP referred me to Er-Kai Gao and initially he was reasonable, explaining the process and assuring me all tests had to come back negative for him to clear me with the DMV. In conducting multiple tests, they came back negative for seizures. I began to noticed that during test result reviews, he became more and more reluctant to reiterate his willingness to clear me, as he said he would in the beginning. When reviewing the final test results, which also came back negative, he flat out refused to clear me and wanted me to get on a seizure medication indefinitely, despite me having no history of seizures and the fainting spells being unrelated, by all accounts and test results. When I refused the medications and reminded him that nothing was pointing to seizures, per all his tests, he flat out told me he would not clear me. I went back to my PCP and insurance and requested another neurologist. Luckily, I found a great one that reviewed all the test results and was shocked to hear my experience with Er-Kai Gao. To be sure, he had me do a couple more tests and when those also came back negative, they cleared me immediately. This was by far the worst service and consequential medical experience I've had. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If you're referred to Er-Kai Gao's office by your PCP and happen to see this review before you set up an appointment, proceed with caution or simply request another neurologist. Absolutely not worth the gamble. His niece was a PA here at the time and was not as bad as him. Hopefully she will see these reviews as feedback to help improve the situation there.

I have appointments here every other week, and I consistently wait at least 35-45 minutes past my scheduled appointment time before being seen. I work from home and have to drive through traffic to get back to East Chula Vista so I can return to work. I have explained at nearly every appointment that I have a limited window of time for my therapy, but my concerns seem to fall on deaf ears. Based on conversations I've overheard in the lobby, I'm clearly not the only patient experiencing these issues. During one appointment, I waited 45 minutes before they finally set me up for PENS electrical stimulation therapy. I questioned how they could expect me to stay for the entire hour of treatment after making me wait so long. The doctor explained that they only have one machine, yet they continue scheduling overlapping appointments. I even asked the doctor directly why he allows his staff to overlap appointments when they clearly do not have the equipment or capacity to accommodate patients on time. His only response was, "I'm sorry." An apology means very little when the same problem continues to happen at every appointment. It feels as though this facility prioritizes scheduling as many patients as possible over providing timely, quality care. Patients have jobs, responsibilities, and other commitments. Our time deserves just as much respect as theirs. I have been more than patient and have repeatedly communicated my concerns, but nothing has changed. I absolutely do not recommend this place. If you value your time and expect a facility to respect your scheduled appointments, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

You have the choice of attempting to find a place on the street in front of the building in which the doctor is located, or in one of the two parking structures loacted behind the building. The waiting room in the doctor's office is fairly small. Please note that it is always crowded with patients. Accordingly, you may have to stand while you wait to be called by one of the nurses into one of the examination rooms in the back. I noted even at 9:00 a.m., which is their first appointment of the day, and the time I arrived for my second appointment, it remained as crowded as ever. The nerve conduction studies are done in two parts. The first part is performed by an assistant. The accupuncture testing thereafter will be performed by the doctor.

Throughout my treatment, I have experienced genuine kindness, compassion, professionalism, and an extraordinary level of expertise. Dr. Raiszadeh is a true subject matter expert in orthopedic spine surgery, and his knowledge, skill, and dedication inspire tremendous confidence. What stands out most is that he always puts the health, well-being, and best interests of his patients first. I would also like to recognize the outstanding staff at the Spine & Brain Institute of San Diego. Every member of the team has treated me with courtesy, respect, and compassion while providing an exceptionally high standard of care. Their professionalism and commitment to their patients make every visit a positive experience. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Dr. Raiszadeh and the entire team at the Spine & Brain Institute of San Diego a perfect 10. I am sincerely grateful for the exceptional care I have received and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding spine and orthopedic care.

I no longer have to brace myself to participate in life. Dr. Raiszadeh's surgical precision restored more than mobility--it restored my sovereignty. If you're seeking an orthopedic surgeon who honors both your body and your voice, Dr. Raiszadeh is that rare kind.

I have never had a referral happen so quickly! They had an appointment available Monday morning. Check in was quick and easy, done in just over a minute. We were called in at the appointment time. The nurse asked some questions and looked at my son's toe that was giving him some trouble. She advised what she though the treatment options would be. Dr. Thomas came in just a couple minutes later and said the same thing the nurse did. He gave us our options. I made a decision but my son was very scare of the shot and the procedure. Dr. Thomas was amazingly patient while my son had his freak out. He remained calm and tried to help me to get my son to understand what needed to be done and why. This took a good 15 minutes, but in the end Dr. Thomas did the procedure. It was over pretty quickly and my son became interested in the procedure. He answered all my son's questions about what he was doing, what tools he used, anything my son was curious about. I am truly shocked at how nice the nurse and Dr. Curt Thomas were. The fact they were also able to do this same day was more than appreciated. I really can't think of anything that could have been better. Thank you Dr. Thomas and care team!

I used to have a good primary care doctor and after she left I haven't had much luck finding a replacement in the last few years. Even if the doctor is good, the staff are usually enough to make you not want to stay with the practice. I had a great experience here at Dr Le's office, something that is sorely lacking at the majority of medical offices today. Even when I called to make the first appointment, I was warmly greeted and offered a same week appointment! Imagine that, the person on the other side of the phone was friendly and willing to help me with my schedule, not the other way around. When I arrived to my appointment at the scheduled time, because I didn't have to be there early for paperwork (unlike other doctor's offices) I was greeted right away. Actually everyone I encountered was friendly and professional. Not a surly soul in sight. Very refreshing and such an amazing change of pace from the other doctor's offices I usually have to go to. I wasn't kept waiting either. I barely had time to finish my new patient paperwork before the doctor came in to see me. Dr Le is really friendly and very knowledgeable about insurance procedures. He's willing to do what is needed to get you the care you need. Obviously as a patient you have to do your part too though. I was also really pleased that he ordered blood work for me as my specialist doesn't do it, even though as he pointed out it should be done with the medication he is prescribing me. Dr Le is thorough and patient, excellent qualities in a physician. I was also told by the assistant that when they order tests, when the results come in the office will call with the results. Nobody does this anymore, they usually just make you come back for a follow up appointment to get them or you have to get an online account for access. I like that they actually make calls, rather than putting your medical information online or wasting your time with another appointment. The office is located in a shopping center, a couple blocks past the infamous Mary's Donuts. There's plenty of parking in the shared private lot. There's also a cupcake bakery nearby that looks interesting if you want to go into a diabetic coma.
