    Saw all of the reviews before mine and even commented on them to the Dr. My experience is quite…read moredifferent than the ones i read. Being in retail for 30 years made me realize that people are weiners for the most part. If the perfect visit doesn't happen then its a dramatic failure. This is an honest review from me. Its quite the trek out there but Maps had us go some back route which had donkeys! I saw about 3-4 patches of donkeys hanging out. Very cool! Loma Linda Neurology finally happened. The parking definitely needs more spaces but we were early and got one right away. Was told where the neurologist was by a friendly worker. Went to the basement and checked in. They were very friendly and thanked us for being early. Went back to the Drs area and checked in very easy as well. Waited for the neurologist and he was on time. Dr Vitorovic was just what i needed. Informative, kind, and to the point. Went through everything and discussed options. We left with a lot of information, next steps, and future plans. I also thanked the nice lady who gave us the right directions to the Neurologist. When we left the lot was in a frenzy for parking, hence the earlier comment. Overall my experience as a kind person seeking help ended differently then previous reviews. I would recommend LLN to others and next time i go im hugging a donkey on the way up

Parked at the main hospital parking garage - called the call center for directions . I was instructed to walk across the street and a half mile to the doctors office . And was then told to reschedule my appointment for three months from the date because they didn't have time to see me anymore. This hospital is garbage - go to anywhere else .

    Would have been 5 stars buttttt getting someone on the phone to schedule an appointment was rough…read more Besides that it was great, the facility was very clean. Bed room was a good size, bed was comfy and sleep tech made me feel so comfortable was great at explaining everything and made what I thought would be a stressful experience a good one. Biggest worry was feeling like I would be bothering him if I needed something but he was accommodating and you could tell truly cared about his job. Results took about a week and a half. Only thing is for girls....get ready for straight up goop in your hair. I couldn't wait to go home and wash it out.

    -0 for the inattentive and rough test done on me. I wasn't told about the procedure beforehand, and…read moreI had to be the one constantly asking questions about what was happening. He even admitted he couldn't get readings in some areas and blamed the machine, but still said the findings were normal. I was bleeding during the procedure, and Arindra had such poor bedside manner. I kept saying that it hurt, but it was like he either didn't care or was low-key torturing patients. At this point, I'm wondering if I have a low tolerance for pain because the whole thing was so rough. I ended up with a few bruises and hematomas at the sites that were tested. Don't get an EMG done by the person they call "Jay." I refuse to call this one a doctor. A technician would have been gentler. This man even jabbed my web finger last, and honestly, it felt like he enjoyed causing pain. SMH. Even after the test was over, I had to ask him if it was actually done. There was no clear communication. This experience was traumatizing. I went in expecting a medical professional to be attentive, explain the procedure, listen when I said I was in pain, and treat me with some basic bedside manner. Instead, I left bruised, with hematomas, and feeling like my pain and concerns were completely dismissed. I would never recommend this provider based on my experience.

    I just read the other reviews and it's exactly the same experience I had this person sucks she's…read morehorrible at her job she doesn't care she doesn't even pretend to care I had some issues with my legs was trying to figure out what was causing my issues they did an electrode test on my legs the guy that did it was cool after he was done she came in and first thing she said was you have neuropathy I didn't know what that was at the time I had to google it after I left.. not good.. but she said she wanted me to do a couple more Labs just to be safe which I did when she received the results I received the call and for the first time and only time in my life I had tested 5.6 for the diabetes test I forget what it's called but 5.6 is considered pre-diabetic she literally told me oh it shows your pre diabetic that's what it is.. I was so confused and and irritated and frustrated I literally couldn't even speak she just kept talking about diet food and what to eat and change my diet and stuff and I just felt like she seen that and it gave her the opportunity to take the easy way out before I went to her I never tested pre-diabetic before I went to her is when the issues were happening so the issues were happening before I tested pre-diabetic but yet she said oh that's what it is it's because you're pre-diabetic that's your problem I also knew immediately I didn't want to argue with her because I realized she's not a good doctor and I don't even care to see her again so there's no reason to say anything just move on completely unprofessional doesn't care doesn't even pretend to care she needs to just go ahead and retire... the thing with me is I never really understood what they saw on the electrode test that made them literally it sounded like they diagnosed me with neuropathy she said you have neuropathy so I'm wondering what is it that made her say that but I never found out and I still haven't to this day so maybe I still have an underlying issue that I need to get checked out that she chose to neglect because I'm still having issues I have to go see a neurologist again but it is so backlogged with appointments I have to wait till February of next year.. I recommend people see another neurologist if your looking for quality care .

Not only was it impossible to get in contact when I desperately needed her help, but I was completely disrespected. I've been having seizures and she literally said "oh I'm sure you're just fainting." Like ma'am IM CONVULSING can you take it serious? Just because one test came out normal she completely dismissed me. Honestly I can write an essay of things she said that I believe no doctor should treat their patient that way. And when told I couldn't reach her office she said I was lying because that's just impossible. Thank god I've found a good neurologist who believes me and has begun to get my seizures under control. If I were still with Perin, I'm 1000% sure I would have died because of her negligence. Please, save yourself the time. This is not a professional nor good neurologist.

    My experience terrible experience with Dr. Mesiwala, followed by information from the PUBLIC RECORD…read morebelow, with links: I had 2 failed surgeries by Dr. Mesiwala. The first one left me with a spinal fluid leak (soaking the bed sheets with spinal fluid!) which required another surgery to repair it. This one one gave me a septic infection which put me in the ICU where my wife was told that I probably would not be going home. The wonderful hospital doctor ordered the swollen, infected area around my incision to be aspirated and tested to prove surgical infection. Before the team came to perform the aspiration procedure, Mesiwala came in and quickly ordered another nurse to administer an IV antibiotic (while he stood by and anxiously watched). This would make all of the infection tests from the surgical site come back negative. The hospital doctor on my case who ordered the test was furious about this cover-up antibiotic maneuver. She was very frank with me and said she "was shocked that he was still allowed to practice medicine but said it wouldn't go on for long." That was 18 years ago. Prior to the first surgery, a very well-known neurologist told me that Dr. Mesiwala "Has very poor judgment." A very strong statement from one MD against another, which I wish I had taken seriously. After my disastrous and nearly fatal experience, he suggested I get a lawyer and had his secretary give me the lawyer's phone number. He was on the medical board and wanted to use my case for more evidence to have Mesiwala's license revoked. I was too sick to deal with it and foolishly did not follow up. Also, prior to my surgery, even my home health nurse asked if I had done any research on Dr. Mesiwala. He then told me about the TV exposé on Dr. Mesiwala and the US Department of Justice Enterprise Corruption case for pushing a company's spinal implants after being given part of the company which made them. This is a Federal crime. I blame myself for not heeding the warnings. That's why I'm posting this for others. Now from the public record: Frequent Malpractice Lawsuits, Repeated Fraud, Medical Board Disciplinary Actions for Negligence, and a D.O.J. Racketeering investigation. The information below just scratches the surface. 1.

He was also the subject of a CBS LA news expose where he was outed for a non-FDA-approved mixture of two bone growth compounds without disclosure to the patients. This resulted in patients requiring surgeries to remove uncontrolled bone growth which had crippled them. See link below: https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/07/27/pomona-hospital-allegedly-performs-experimental-procedures/ https://www.massdevice.com/california-probes-hospital-accused-secret-clinical-trials-with-stryker-bone-products/ Again, if you keep looking on Google there is much, much more. Three years ago, I was shocked to see Dr. Mesiwala on a website as one of the "Top Three Neurosurgeons in The Inland Empire". I forwarded the public information to the online publisher. The very next morning he was removed from the list and I got a phone call with an apology from the publisher. This is an unscrupulous man who, if there were any justice, should not be practicing medicine. He quite obviously possesses no moral character demonstrates horrible judgement and extreme dishonesty.

From billing fraud, medical documents & medical records to violating HIPAA, refusing to treat, giving wrong diagnosis to generate more income by running unnecessary tests and treatment to receive kickbacks. The staff is lazy, rude, and frankly incompetent. overall extremely unprofessional. One staff member in particular is arrogant,on a massive ego trip,angry and unhappy. Her facial expressions,rolling of the eyes, argumentative tone, condescending, callus, defensive, and combative.Lacking all empathy. I was a patient for approx a year . Only had one office visit with kJordan. During that visit I was asked to perform a series of tests ie; drawing a clock, walking in a straight line, balancing on 1 foot without arm usage etc. Jordan made insulting comments through out the entire visit "You really should be seeing a therapist" "you are very sensitive and emotional" "You aren't acting normal I recommend you seeing a psychiatrist" "these tests aren't that hard" "you aren't even trying". He mocked me and he scolded me. I received a new med, referrals to a therapist and psychiatrist.Also,requesting an EEG,MRI and a 1 hour neuro psych evaluation. After starting the new medication I had experienced some random extreme symptoms.I contacted the office multi x to inform of a reaction. April of 2022 The EEG was preformed by a staff member and by her own admission "I'm still going to school" "Dr.Jordan is a very sweet man and super cool" she explained her sister JENNIFER from HE double HOCKEY STICKS has been working for him for years and that's why he's letting her do the job. "But don't tell anyone". She went on to provide me with other personal details. An accident and hurting her back. Not being able to work. Her physical restrictions on the daily and on a job site. Her daily struggles, finances etc. At this time I expressed my health concerns and requested to speak to KJordan. He directed to "take another 30 day dose" "Your immune system will build up tolerance". He stated "it's all in your head" "you are thinking about it too much" "doesn't seem to be bothering you right now" "there's no need for me to prescribe any meds to fight the reaction let it pass". I left and the reaction got worse. I reached out, I offered to email pictures of my reaction before taking another round. Jennifer responded with "we don't have an email address." "We don't use one the Dr is old school". We continued to play phone tag. She contacted me through out the course of many months and relayed " the Dr wants you to continue medication and He will send over another refill today but, no new medications. Not until you complete a psych eval" "Dr Jordan will not treat your allergic reaction or give any recommendations for migraine treatment until you complete all test" "Dr Jordan is going to contact ur GP to discuss your med plan, allergic reaction(s)etc." " The Dr did contact your GP and they both agree not to treat you due to needing other type of help". She continued to interrogate me and instruct me to discontinue all contact until Ive completed the eval. I eventually did the evaluation and the staff still refused to schedule me. Jordan withheld all information and treatment also instructing his staff too. He caused me pain on so many levels. I even filed a grievance and With that came an extreme level of retaliation. Being accused of drug seeking, faking symptoms, Lying, not cooperating and so on. I requested a copy of my medical records. By which were mailed to me via USPS in an old distorted envelope that was to small, she had wrapped scotch tape around to prevent further ripping. Without any regard for my privacy. Within those records it showed falsifying of dates and times, number of visits and phone calls, physician notations, physician signatures, and private emails between Jordan and a psychiatrist. The same psychiatrist he referred me to that works at loma linda. She thanked him for sending patients to her. She stated "she's a great candidate" She shared our session "summery" notes in detail verbatim. She admitted to recording our session. Jordan refers all his patients as standard practice to this psychiatrist. Pure disgust!!!! Till this day I have yet to receive my original entire records and test results. Between KJordan and Jennifer they were difficult and worked very hard to push me out once I started speaking up And No one ever answers the phone. They never return any voicemails. I highly do not recommend this outdated "neurologist" and or the entire practice.

    An outstanding Doctor. I have been seeing Him for a year. He Is one of the best. The office staff…read moreare the best.
