First the staff gave me the wrong location address . In sever pain I drove 2 hrs to get to the 2021 Santa Monica office just to find out that the office doesn't even exist. The Suite # and name is no where to be found on the directory. Even the information desk girl tried to find him for me but was surprised not to find him. I called the office and they said "Oh , the girl might have given you the wrong location" . After a lot of arguing I was asked to come to the Cider Sania location. When I got there the same Manger said "the doctor has to run out ,wait he will see you when he is back." This is really abusive behavior, instead of being apologetic the front Manger said that "You are not the only one and a lot of patients go to wrong office ." THEN why the hell they dont de something to take the santa monica address off the internet untill they have a working office.

I was looking for a primary doc on the west side and found Dr. Michael on zocdoc. I had been having stomach discomfort for months as well as some autoimmune issues. I am a nurse so I was pretty much under the impression I needed some lab work done and that was it. When I arrived to my appointment the nurse checked me in and had me pee in a cup. She said I had a UTI, although I had no symptoms of a UTI, and was going to give me an antibiotic shot IM (weird, why wouldn't I just get oral antibiotics) she said it's usually $100 but since I'm "in the industry" she would only charge me $20. Also weird. That ceftriaxone shot ended up giving me a terrible yeast infection and diarrhea for a week. When I went to go speak with the doctor in his office he was asking inappropriate questions about my sexual activity and preferences, and was extremely judgmental about me being sexually active AT ALL. He then basically convinced me that I could have HIV and that's why my immune system is suppressed. He kept apologizing about the "terrible news" he was giving me. I was terrified. Of course I had questions but he seemed very intelligent and concerned. He wrote me an order for an extensive bloodwork panel. I left crying and called a friend who is an internal medicine doctor who said the labs he ordered for me to get are labs that are needed when someone has already been diagnosed with HIV and that they were extremely unnecessary. He also wanted to do an ultrasound and EKG which I declined because there was no reason for these tests. When I went to Labcorp in the same building to collect my labs the receptionist was complaining about Dr. Michael, so I told her what had just happened. There was another patient in the waiting room that went through the EXACT same experience as me and was written for the same lab work, basically convinced by the doctor that they also had HIV. That patient said that Dr. Michael had also ordered a lot of unnecessary tests (EKGs, X-rays) that came back clear. I had to wait TWO WEEKS for my results, and everytime I would call the front desk they kept saying it should be "any day now." Obviously I was so nervous waiting for so long. My bloodwork came back perfect. I asked the receptionist to email me my results but apparently their office "doesn't have email." Also my insurance didn't cover all of the unnecessary testing so I ended up paying over $500 out of pocket for everything he ordered. I ended up going to another doctor who figured out exactly what was going on with me and was quickly treated. I am a nurse and do not get white coat syndrome easily, but Dr. Michael was extremely convincing and made me absolutely terrified for my own health, without anything to support his opinion. Please don't go see him.

So there I was on Thursday at 6am heading down the 405 to Cedars for a surgery scheduled for 8am, so I was the 1st patient of the morning and Dr. Moridzadeh went over the procedure with me even though it's my 3rd angiogram for my legs. The surgery is 2hr 1 for the actual surgery and one hour of recovery my left leg went ok no pain and I was up and walking in 3 days but when they did my right leg it felt like they had done it with no pain medicine or anything, but I'm back walking now if you ever need angioplasty for your legs this is the doctor to go see.

My dialysis center has referred me to other outpatient clinics, but I've found that PIVAC provides me the best experience. From checking-in at the front desk to my pre-op consultation with the nurses to my procedure with the surgeons to my recovery in post-op, the PIVAC staff has been truly attentive to my needs. In fact, they even arrange my transportation to and from my home and/or dialysis center! I typically get my procedures performed by the medical director, Dr. Spencer Brown, but I've heard great things from the other physicians: Drs. Tabibian, Saines, and Weiss. All of the physicians specialize in minimally invasive surgeries that produce far better results from what I've seen in hospital/in-patient environments. Though I'm just a dialysis patient, I know that PIVAC also perform treatments for varicose veins, peripheral arterial disease, and vascular accesses. So if you're thinking about switching to a phenomenal interventional radiology outpatient center, just call or email PIVAC! Lynne, the center manager, will definitely make sure to take good care of you!

A…read moredoctor may think this unfair but when your care team is sub par it does reflect negatively on the doctor. Sometimes unknown to them and sometimes because they do not care. I am not sure where it falls in here. I have phoned at least four times in the last few years. I had an acoustic tumor that grew aggressively (not a norm for this type of tumor) into the brain stem. I wanted to get another opinion because I have had 'inconclusive' on the final reads (whether there was additional growth) and I wanted to make sure I did not get into another life-threatening situation (my first surgery was emergency with a 2% chance of survival which I thankfully survived). I would get sent to the voice mail of his nurse at which time I would get a follow up weeks later. Cut to now a few years since I phoned and got the 'inconclusive' read on my last MRI (with and without contrast) but now with a possible sign of growth so, again, I phoned Dr. Kellys' office only to be told he does not deal with Schwannomas. I was never informed of this in prior communications with the office (which is odd). I always stated what type of tumor I had and reports and scans were sent. Then his nurse said she was forwarding my information to another doctor that deals with the aforementioned type of tumor. I never heard from them. Then, maybe three months later (or more) I got a call from someone that did not say their name (just stated Pacific Neurosurgery) and called from a private number. Just to reiterate, this is now 1/3 of a year later. Buyer beware.
