Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent
The Dr. is knowledgeable, compassionate and the entire UCLA pain group helps solve the problem. He has 44 years of experience and I would not trust anyone else. He teaches the fellows that come thru his department to learn to be good pain drs.

No respect for patient midesty
I made an appointment to treat pain in an intimate area, I demand respect & observance of societal norms of common decency & common sense. I demanded up front for my exam and/or treatment not to be a spectator sport, than with no more people present than what's necessary for treatment. In response, he cancelled my appointment saying that UVLA's a teaching institution where his students educatiin trump my modesty decency cincerns

Very competent, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He looks you in the eye and gives you a feeling he cares about what matters to you. He's very honest in telling you about your disease and does not look down to you. He respects your ability to handle difficult information. He has a gentle bedside manner.
