Our first in-person experience at The Neurology Center in Carlsbad was excellent. Although the…read moreonline pre-screening process beforehand was frustrating, our experience once we arrived at the office was completely different. From beginning to end, everyone was warm, welcoming, patient, and informative. Jenni at the front desk and checkout was kind and helpful, Ivan was very patient and reassuring while administering the memory screening, and Andrew Inocelda, the PA, did an excellent job guiding us through the appointment, answering our questions, and explaining the evaluation process and next steps. An appointment involving memory concerns can be stressful and emotional, and I really appreciated the compassion, patience, and respect we were shown throughout the visit. We left feeling informed, supported, and very grateful for the care we received.

Coming from Boston, Ma where they are on top of your health! Whether it's a simple check up or a specialist, all of your drs communicate with each other, they don't leave it up to you to call these places to sit on hold for hours! I have multiple sclerosis and the care I have received has been absolutely terrible! It's wreaking havoc on my health. Since moving to Ca, my disease has progressed due to stress and lack of care/meds. Something needs to change as we are living in the most expensive state in the entire United States!

Not only is…read morehe incredibly skilled, but his bedside manner is hands down the best I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. I have been seeing him for a little over two years now, and his care has truly helped me through a tough time. Being young with MS and all the unpredictable muscle pain it has caused me has been difficult. Dr. Brizzie has given me immense pain relief and has significantly improved my quality of life I never thought would be possible. I can do so much more now. I was struggling with this from 2021 until 2023 until I found him that year. The pain after the second Moderna vaccine was unbearable for me. He was the only one to take my pain seriously, and I will never forget that. He actually listens, really listens, and shows care for his patients. Highly intelligent yet humble. That is pretty rare. He is proactive, kind, patient, and always makes you feel heard. I am ever grateful to him for helping me get my upper body pain and muscle pain significantly reduced. The trigger point injections have relieved my pain like nothing else has and given me the freedom to enjoy life without constantly worrying about it. When you struggle, it has been such a relief to have a provider show compassion. He is the best, truly amazing, and I am very thankful. Fusion Physical Medicine's whole atmosphere gives off zen vibes and tranquility. His practice is so peaceful and warm. It's very clean and comfortable. Everyone is extremely kind here from the staff to the nurses. I cannot say enough good things! Unlike how a stressful hospital environment can be, the vibe here is calm and comforting. Plus you do not have to wait forever. This place is such a gem in California.

A few years ago I came home early from a trip because of terrible shoulder and back pain. I tried…read moreto find an appointment before I got on the plane. No luck! Then I saw the reviews for Dr. Belnap on Yelp & lo and behold he was able to fit me in the week I returned . After looking at x rays of my shoulder and back from years ago & examining me he sent me to get an MRI . I was relieved it was an MRI and not a CAT scan as they have been shown to increase your chances of getting cancer. The MRI place he recommended was able to get me in for the next week.. my co-pay was under $100 for my back and my shoulder . Soon after this I saw Dr. Belnap again & he gave me a cortisone injection in my shoulder and some medication which helped greatly . A few months later the same in my back ! Last year I somehow hurt my back so badly I could barely walk. Once again, he was able to fit me in quickly and gave me an injection, which helped somewhat. However, it was Christmas holidays and I was going away for a special celebration and my back couldn't handle it. He was able to fit me in during the holiday season quickly, gave me an epidural and I was able to go and be fine. he's very caring and and we'll do whatever he can to help.

I'm now six days post-PRP injection into my lumbar, and while there's still some soreness at the injection site, my daily pain level has dropped to a 1 or 2. It's early, but I'm really happy with the results so far. Dr. Derrington and his assistant, Jocelyn, are fabulous. They explained everything clearly and couldn't have been more professional and supportive throughout the process. Their office is also incredibly responsive to emails and phone calls, which makes a huge difference. I wouldn't look anywhere else for care--highly recommend!

Upon arrival I was greeted with a smile, filled out my pre-procedural paperwork then was escorted to the pre-procedure hold area. All of the "Ts" were crossed & "Is" dotted. I was offered Versed, a hypnotic that relaxes the pt which diminishes stress when facing a procedure. I opted for it. No IV was necessary as the injection was given in my arm (deltoid). Melissa &. Tends were the RN's who attended me until transported to the procedure suite. Dr Parizzo introduced himself, asked the appropriate questions regarding my history (Hx) and explains what was going to be done. I related a traumatic experience during a similar procedure by another MD a couple years ago. Hence my hesitation to subject myself to spinal injections again. All I wan say is "Stellar Performance" from this team! You can (or I can) tell a good physician by the his/her team's cohesiveness and demeanor. That's really all you have to go on until your procedure is done. This group gets 5 honest stars from me! From start to finish the entire team, Nurses- Melissa, Brenda & Emily (OR Suite) X-Ray Tech-Art Front Desk- Yvonne Dr Parizzo This team was extremely professional, spot on with delivery of care coupled with an authentic caring attitude that allowed me to relax and place my trust in them to do their respective jobs appropriately. As the owner of the former "Patient Advocate Corporation" I can say with confidence that I recommend this Group without reservations.

The staff consistently fails at their managerial responsibilities. There was no callback after I called several times regarding my referral, which was marked as urgent by Dr. Gupta. Every time I called, Jovani claimed they had already sent it for approval. I have severe head tremors, which cause severe neck pain, and I was recommended by Dr. to get an epidural injection. When I called the referral customer service, they told me they never received the referral. I had to send my husband to the office and have him stand there to ensure they faxed my referral. Jovani never followed up to see if it was approved. The back-and-forth took more than a month, with me calling the doctor's office only to find they were not truthful and no call back even-though they said they will call me back. They never took notes regarding my calls and concerns, so I had to explain the situation every time I called them. This caused me a great deal of stress. The person in charge of referrals Jovani at the doctor's office never called me with an update. This demonstrates such irresponsibility and a lack of service.
