Worst experience ever. I went to Dr Hau first for a lumbar epidural and experienced the worse pain…read moreever. Excruciating pain with no relief afterwards at all. A year later I decided to try Dr Hau again for a back ablation. What was I thinking? If I thought that eipurdal was painful, let me tell you, it was nothing like the back ablation. I was screaming during the procedure and had much worse back pain after that than before. Never again. I swore I would never do that again. However, in Jan 2026 I switched over to Kaiser Permanente and decided to see their Spine Specialist who also suggested a lumbar epidural. I was scared to death but he assured me it wasn't bad so I decided to go for it. Well .............. I had that epidural done yesterday and the pain was nothing more than a mild bee sting and it only lasted a few seconds. That was just the numbing agent. When he injected the cortisone, I didn't feel a thing. I left that office feeling like a Happy Camper and pretty much pain free. Day 1, my pain level is about a level 1 but the doctor said it would take a few days for the cortisone to truly take effect so I'm looking forward to more happy days. =) A lady in the Waiting Room told me her epidurals through Dr Vidaurri (Kaiser) lasted 10-14 months. For me, that would be Heaven Scent. My diagnosis: spinal stenosis, sciatica and a cyst on my spine. I am 75 yrs ago. If I could've given Dr Hau zero stars, I would have. If this review were for Dr Vidaurri at Kaiser, I would have given him 5 stars.

I'm done with this office…read more Yesterday an older patient was voice texting & making long phone calls in the waiting room where there's no phone calls allowed. I repeatedly asked her to go outside or to stop & she repeatedly refused. When I brought it to the office's attention, instead of saying something to her they brought me back. The MA said someone else had complained as well. This older patient should know better & that's exactly what I told her as she continued to act entitled. Every time I have an appointment, the MA who brings me back & NP are on the same page but when I go to check out, this scheduling MA is always confused on what we're doing & is always on a different page than the MA who brought me into the appointment & the different than the NP I saw. The scheduling MA is also super fucking rude & bitchy. Not sure why she works there if she's miserable. This whole confusion thing happened again yesterday. It happens at every appointment & is super nerve racking for me. The scheduling MA has also violated my HIPPA privacy rights multiple times while checking out of my appointments & scheduling. The scheduling MA also doesn't say who she's scheduling you with & I always have to ask who my appointments are with. Again more confusion, I'm having dental work done, a crown & filling, so I had to cancel my right sub occipital nerve block & TMJ trigger point injections. On their paperwork it states "dental cleaning or oral surgery" so they should probably update that & make it more specific. I will not be re scheduling with this office.

I had the same injection at kaiser 2 years later and it was a very bad experience, they treated it like I was getting a simple flu shot and took me into a tiny room with just one nurse , it was excruciating painful and did not work .

When I was first referred to him my pain level was between 7-8 on a scale of 1-10. He looked over my most recent MRI and together we decided on a course of action that might benefit my type of pain. With time and patience on both our parts I'm now at a pain level of 2-3 most days. I've been able to go back to my Pilates class, my strength training class, and walk my dog every night. Treating pain is certainly tricky business as everyone has different expectations and their pain tolerance differs widely, however, I personally have found great relief with the help of Dr Yang. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to a friend. Jan T

Dr. Keller turned out to be my worst nightmare! When I first saw him he told me my previous pain…read moredoctor didn't want to see me anymore. He only wanted to give me cortisone injections, which cost $500.00 an injection. Dr. Keller stated, "I am a neurosurgeon, I'm smarter than Dr. X, and I should know you're in real pain and need medication to control your pain." He ordered strong pain medications, and yes, for the first time I was completely out of pain. I was very concerned about the combination of prescriptions and discussed them with my doctors as well as my pharmacist asking them, "Are these combinations of medications were safe to take?" They all confirmed they were safe. I was judicial about taking them and only if I was in horrific pain. Long story short, Thomas Keller is in jail waiting to be sentenced for the death of 3 patients and over-prescribing opioids.
