Anthem/Blue Cross deemed that my patient responsibility was only .63 cents, so the insurance company sent a payment to Allied in the amount of $3,793.67 in December 2024 and now Allied's patient services/billing department refuses to refund my credit card for this amount. Not only did Allied keep my money, but they are also pocketing money from Anthem, which has been deemed fraudulent by Anthem and they are now engaging in an investigation into Allied. Save yourself the emotional turmoil and run arounds, and just go elsewhere. Hard lesson learned on my part. EDIT: Anthem/Blue Cross' Grievances Department just mailed the attached letter on January 10, 2025 stating that I am due a refund of $3,793.67 and my financial responsibility is $.63 cents. The continued denial by Allied that "no monies" are owed to me is baffling. This company will indeed engage in fraudulent activity.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS REVIEW!…read more Even though I'm still in the middle of my treatment and awaiting further surgery, I just wanted to stop by and give some much deserved love to Dr. Patrick Polsunas and the staff at Allied Pain & Spine in Los Gatos. Prior to my vehicle being struck by a red light runner at high speed, I was never really sick very much, and didn't have any illnesses or major injuries. Most of my life living as an athlete and personal trainer, I had no real need to see a doctor except for the regular annual check-up. But now for the first time finding my self as a partially crippled person, it's been depressing at times. So, to have a rare and wonderful doctor like Dr. Polsunas who not only goes above and beyond for his patients, but is actually extremely caring and does whatever he can to fight along side you, so that you can achieve the maximum healing that you deserve, it's a blessing. He is truly one of a kind, and I wish that he was my general doctor. Santa needs to give him a raise!

BEST PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR EVER! I thought he retired but I…read more might be wrong. If he is back I am going back to him in 2 seconds split!! If you meet him once I promise you will be greatful to me!! And him of course. None better than Dr. Hopkins!

Dr.Hopkins has been God Sent to me.He is not only one of the smartest people I've ever met( he…read moreknows a little bit about everything but a lot about medicine) and he's very empathetic while cutting through the bullshit that has been projected on him by the DEA and other non-medical licensed individuals. He is retiring soon and I think it's important that I write a review about how he has helped me with the quality of my life. I am a chronic pain patient and have been his patient for almost 23 years .I have had four surgeries just in the last five years not to mention the shoulder surgery for a grade 5 slap tear I have to face in the next year and neck surgery after that and if I don't have him to do blocks on my back and shoulder in between i do not know how I will handle the pain even with pain medication .I am devastated he's leaving his practice and retiring because there's very few people who care about those of us that have chronic pain and need pain management doctors.what I love about Dr Hopkins is he fights for his patients.He takes a stand and his courage gives me courage to stand up and fight for my rights and for others. Finding another interventional pain management doctor to replace him is going to be hard but I know he will help me because that's just the kind of person he is ,he actually cares as he's a wonderful Doctor Who cares about his patients But he's a decent human being which we seem to be lacking these days . I've always listened and done exactly what he asks me to do like walking or working out even if I don't feel like it I do it anyway. I keep my weight down, I watch what I eat I know pain management does not just involve taking medicine it involves staying in shape mentally, physically, and spiritually.Thank you Dr Hopkins. Thank you for fighting for all of us who would've otherwise fallen through the cracks and maybe not even still be here if it wasn't for you. I use my platform working for a non profit local TV show to help others and keep the Focus on the less fortunate and speak up for those that don't have the strength and courage to fight for themselves. Thank you Dr Hopkins ,I pray to God I find someone who will take me under their wing like you have taken me. Sheila Thomas

I scheduled a PRP consultation which cost $1000 and was rescheduled twice - with appointments being…read moreone month out each time. When asked, I was told by the doctor that it was okay for me to drive over an hour - right after the PRP treatment. I decided to find someone closer to my home and canceled my appointment after the second time they rescheduled. It was a blessing in disguise. Not only was I able to get a sooner appointment closer to home, that wasn't rescheduled, but I also was given clear directions, thankfully. I was told to make sure I had someone drive me home, which was accurate as I wasn't able to drive for at least 2 days after the treatment and was told to stay off my feet for at least 2 days after the treatment. I don't like giving negative reviews but thought it might save someone else $1000.

There is not even any common decency here - he kept me waiting 3 hours one day for an appt and cancelled another appointment when I was already on my way. I became close with one of his nurses who ended up leaving while I was still undergoing treatment - thanks to her I discontinued when she told me about the shady inner workings of the clinic...Cook is abusive to his staff and regularly jokes about patients behind their back's. Most people do not get results especially if dealing with systemic issues like Lyme. I spent several thousand, lured there after hearing Cook on a podcast. it was a complete waste and he became belligerent when I questioned why I wasn't seeing improvement. There are plenty of clinics in the SF bay area that offer ozone, including ozone dialysis in San Mateo and Santa Rosa, there is no reason to go here and I would highly advise that you stay away from this clinic.

I specifically asked in writing about the cost of a new patient consultation before scheduling…read more During the scheduling phone call the fee discussed was $75. The confirmation email I received listed only the appointment time, address, and parking information -- it contained no mention of any consultation fee. On the day of the visit I was charged $750. When I questioned the amount, I was told that was the correct fee based on our prior conversation. I left the experience feeling the consultation fee had not been clearly or accurately disclosed in advance. The office itself also raised concerns. There was no secretary or front-desk staff, and the space is shared with a beauty salon, chiropractic office, and other services. All communication was handled directly by the doctor. The lack of transparent pricing has left me with no choice but to file a claim in small claims court to resolve the matter.

I continue to see her as the toxin issue in my body has caused so many symptoms and no other doctor has ever tried to address the issue, just cover up symptoms. Many of them have improved. When new or old symptoms pop up, she addresses them head on with a treatment plan. I originally saw her at her previous clinic but was seen recently in her "new" location. It's absolutely lovely - warm and inviting just like the doctor and staff! Dr. Fashandi goes above and beyond to help and responds even outside of office hours to make sure the patient is taken care of. She is an amazing doctor and human being and I'm so thankful for her!

It's been several months and I am beyond happy with my care. She has a warm, caring demeanor and her staff is always super prompt to return calls and emails. So happy I discovered her!

So if you have lots of non-urgent medical issues that you're okay with hounding the office about, then this is the doctor for you.
