First of all I am so surprised that this health center (for out patient pain management treatments)…read morewas not on Yelp!!?? I'm honored to be the first review. An excellent experience here at this surgical center! Understandably Stressed about having a needle stuck in my neck, honestly it was so easy! My nurse, Annette was a doll! Made me feel very comfortable! My pain management doctor, Dr. Katuzian from Spanish Hills Interventional Pain Specialists, was very kind and explained the epidural procedure and really put my heart at ease! He actually went in with the needle/tiny catheter in my middle upper back and moved it up to the areas in my neck (somewhere between C- 4 and T-1) where the problems are. The anesthesiologist Lori? Laura? She was wonderful! Friendly! Great personality! Explained everything she was doing and made me feel very comfortable. And my recovery nurse was also a sweetheart! I think her name was Courtney? I was a little out of it at that point haha! While they were a bit backed up and I had to wait over an hour before being called back... I was in and out pretty fast! I didn't feel rushed or anything, it all just flowed well! Highly recommend!!

I gave up on pain management docs for ~8 years because of my experiences here. I was shocked and…read moreappalled to be berated by Cabaret who would lecture me about what "real pain was" telling me "people in wheelchairs" knew "real pain" - the funniest part is that my mom's twin is a quadriplegic so telling me that people in wheelchairs are the only ones with real pain was rich coming from Cabaret.... I started bringing a family member with me at all times to appointments just because the way he spoke to me was so unprofessional, and they all agreed witnessed how he would berate, speak down to and invalidate anything I said, because to Cabaret since I didn't have a physical handicap, my pain wasn't valid to him - even though I had several autoimmune conditions with chronic pain as well as severe rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disc conditions... After ~2 years of this I stopped seeing him altogether: I couldn't deal with graveling for help for months and receiving treatment here or there while enduring being talked to and treated in such a horrible way. I actually gave up on pain management docs for ~8 years because of experiences here... I powered through pain for so long I ended up with an TLIF spinal fusion with disc replacement due to severe central canal stenosis after going to ER for back pain, I was put in an ambulance for an emergency spinal surgery on a Sunday to prevent paralysis (I was riding my motorcycle through the pain of severe central canal stenosis that required ambulatory transfer and emergency spinal fusion surgery on a Sunday). I was fortunate to finally receive compassionate care from both a neurosurgeon and pain management doctor as recovered (located in Ventura). About a year after my spinal fusion: I needed a facet block and MBB RFA due to nerve pain that never resolved after the surgery. My quality of life is so much better - I feel like I am part of the living again. I hate medications and the side effects of them, but sometimes they are necessary, and sometimes injections or surgical procedures are also necessary for relief. Thankfully, now I see physicians who are compassionate and listen to both visible and invisible pain and will work to find the root cause of it - all while treating me with decency, like I'm a human being.

Dr Cabaret is the most compassionate, patient, and supportive pain management doctor that I have…read moreever had the honor of being a patient of. Not only does Dr. Cabaret do traditional pain management with epidural injections, medication, and physical therapy; but Cabaret looks holistically as you as a person, and wants to hear your mental, emotional, and spiritual pain. Dr. Cabaret is a big supporter of alternatives including CBD, Acupuncture, and Massage Therapy. If you are a patient that is also having issues with addiction to opiates or pain medication, Dr Cabaret also assists with medicated aided treatment for opiate dependence. His background, experience, and professionalism make him a solid provider for this life saving service. What I admire most about Dr Cabaret is he takes accountability and ownership in your pain management. Dr Cabaret will do everything that he can to help you ease your pain, but it takes two (you the patient and Dr Cabaret). If you are not ready to put in your work to help improve your pain management, this is not the place for you.

My experience has ONLY to do with the office staff here. Also know the doctors do not respond to…read morethese ratings. The OFFICE girls do and are even rude with their responses. My life the last many years with chronic pain hasn't been easy. Nobody would understand that who has not experienced chronic pain themselves. I had to have 4 surgeries in the 3 years. 2 of them were in the last 5 months for a precancerous condition. I had to reschedule my SI Joint injection a few times, because you have to space your anesthesia apart and I had to have these 2 surgeries immediately. When I called 1 week before my scheduled SI joint injection to see if I could postpone it a few days due to my back being out and I physically could not move, Stephanie was unbelievably rude to me. I was on speaker. I had a friend sitting next to me who had been helping me. Stephanie rudely responded "you've rescheduled like 6 times already." I told her I've had to have many surgeries and I've only rescheduled for those reasons. She then rudely responded "I have to put you on hold." It went dead silent and we thought we were on hold, so my friend looked at me and said "what a b***h." Immediately Stephanie said "I heard that! You just called me the "B" word and I'm telling my boss and I'm hanging up on you!" First of all, I never said it, second of all, neither of us would ever say that for anyone to hear! We are kind, respectful people. We were supposed to have been put on hold. Not a "fake" hold. My friend was just speaking her thoughts to me. Especially because she knows all the hell I have been going through. That's how rude Stephanie was being. Before she hung up on me I was trying to say "wait! Let me explain." I called back and tried to speak with her and explain my friend said that to me not ever meaning for Stephanie to hear it. I spoke with Paula, the manager. I was pouring my heart out crying, apologizing, and sending my apologies to her from my friend as well, who said it not ever meaning for her to hear that. I explained how desperate I was to get my SI joint infection from Dr Phillip Nguyen. My last one gave me 2 months of living without pain. She said she'd call me back that day and she didn't. I called again the next day. Paula told me they would not accept me as a patient anymore. I truly do not think Dr Nguyen knew about "their" decision. No matter what response is given on here, it will be the office girls and most likely false information. Everything I state is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I decided to call the surgical center and they were so nice. I even told them about the situation I had with the office girls. They said I was still on the surgical schedule and to come. So that morning I called the surgical center to confirm. They said I was on the schedule. My mom was on her way to pick me up and Paula that manager called me and said "you are not to go to your surgery! You are off the schedule! We are calling the surgery center to make sure of it." And that's what they did. I truly don't think Dr Phillip Nguyen decided himself not to take me as a patient. The office girls did everything in their power to keep me from getting my injection. If they only knew the pain I endure every day of my life. Stopping someone from getting pain relief because of lack of forgiveness is sad. It's obvious this office is run with a true lack of empathy. The reviews speak for themselves. The negative reviews are mostly about the front desk staff. Their responses to patient's reviews are vile. Remember, it's them responding, not the doctors. If you are able to get past the rudeness of the office staff, I would truly recommend Dr Phillip Nguyen for pain management. Meanwhile I have to start over with referrals and waiting months for appointments because of the lack of forgiveness and empathy here. For something that I personally didn't say or my friend meant for her to hear. I hope those girls never have to experience chronic pain like I have. I will find a way to get a hold of Dr Nguyen and tell him my story.

My mom was admitted to Alta for skilled nursing toward the end of April, after a two-week hospital…read morestay at Cedars for recurrent glioblastoma. Trying to get her into the right SNF was a major challenge, but when Alta finally accepted her, we were thrilled. (My mother-in-law had been a previous patient there, and we liked the facility.) From the moment my mom arrived at Alta, the staff was warm and friendly and took great care of her. She always had a smile on her face and told me how much she enjoyed being there. She was always in the activities room, either participating in some fun activity or at least sitting in there watching others when she wasn't physically able to join in. She particularly enjoyed jewelry making and the visits from the service dogs. I was always greeted by Rachel when she saw me, and she would ask me to help pick out my mom's food choices for the upcoming few days. The food always looked and smelled great, and my mom usually ate everything on her plate. After about a month at Alta, she hadn't been making much improvement due to her condition and some underlying issues that no one had known about. She had stopped eating and was sleeping a lot more than usual. Jose, one of the nurses, called me one evening to let me know that she was very dehydrated and had a weak pulse, so they were starting her on an IV and monitoring her closely. About an hour later, he called back to say she was having trouble breathing and that he had called the paramedics. Jose told us he suspected sepsis, but we couldn't figure out how that was possible. Unfortunately, she had suffered a bowel perforation, which led to septic shock and then cardiac arrest (due to a previous hospital treatment). If not for Jose's quick thinking and expertise, my mom would have passed away at Alta in her bed. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to get her to the hospital to say our goodbyes. Sadly, she passed away a few hours after arriving at the hospital on May 26, 2026. When we returned to Alta to gather her belongings, the staff members we spoke with were visibly saddened and shocked to hear the news. We are so grateful to Alta and their wonderful staff for taking such great care of my mom. Her last month on earth was filled with kindness and compassion, and she received so much love and care there.
