I'll probably never get to see this doctor since the b$%%# who answers the phone thinks she is a doctor and wouldn't listen to me.

Dr Dickinson is a nice doctor & also very very smart. I would definitely recommend him if you need a neurosurgeon.

Can't write a review without giving at least 1 star. Dr Talwar is never on time and was very…read moredismissive during appointments with him, and can be extremely rude. His assistant "Rachel" never returns calls and relays false information to Talwar. If you're seeking a surgeon that's attentive and care about your condition, I do not recommend this office or doctor.

Dr. Talvar is highly tardy with his appointments in person as well as virtual. Average wait time in…read morethe room is 45 min to an hour. He also unabashedly promotes his network of services or doctors. He will say "oh I think you should go to this doctor here or the imaging center there"! Beware of this forcible sales tactic. He does not make informed diagnosis through MRI, he writes half hearted notes on MRI requests and the insurance either rejects it or requests him to connect with them, he and his office sit on those peer to peer consultations. The office person says "oh we give the Doctor's cell number but they don't call". If the insurance company is making a request to have peer consultation the doctor should have the responsibility to pick up the phone and make a case for the patien's MRI. He is terrible at following through. When I contacted the insurance company, they said the doctor does not return their calls for peer to peer consultations. I would advise not to see this doctor if you are in pain. It's best to find a professional who can focus on your care.

I was a long time patient of Dr. Talwar's years ago at a different practice for a work related…read moreinjury of my spine. Loved him! To this day, I still recommend him to anyone I meet that is in need of a spine surgeon. He is super funny, kind, smart, has excellent bedside manner and is incredibly talented in his field. He cares about his patients. Truly, I can't imagine how anyone could think otherwise. I was too young for spine surgery then (20s) but he still took my concerns seriously. He went above and beyond to find the cause of my pain, while also referring me out for treatments and second opinions. Those years were such a difficult time in my life and if it weren't for him, I'm not sure how I would've gotten through it. Thanks doc!

They gave me the wrong papers to fill out first of all I had asked him before I had got there. Did…read moreI have any papers to fill out and they told me no. Then when I get there, it's a bunch of papers to fill out I was a new patient not an existing patient Waited an hour to get in. Then when I get in Dr was very short with me only there for like two minutes the place I guess didn't send over the imaging but it seems like they would've found all that out before I got there I don't wanna go back, I don't feel like I got good care. I had actually been there before in 2020 they told me at least then he took x-rays this time he did nothing I was sent to find out if I needed surgery because the injections are no longer working, but he make it seem like nothing is wrong with me.

The front desk is AWFUL. They literally won't answer the phone or respond to emails…read more They didn't send my info to my insurance which they had on file and almost resulted in collections. I had a complication after my initial surgery and it took an absurd amount of calls to get ahold of anyone. (I ended up needing and having an emergency surgery to repair a CSF leak.) Since after reaching out multiple times via phone and email with no success my fiancé had to go in to the front desk (staff was blasting music, didnt notice her because they were staring at their phones, and had a dog on their lap, looked like a poodle.) At some point my insurance bill was sent to a company I've never even heard of, they have my actual insurance on file. This doesn't make any sense because they have submitted prior claims to the correct company in the past. The front desk all together was an absolute mess, Dr. Ball is a skilled surgeon, Dr. Shrada was awesome, but these people at the front need to be held accountable... ABSOLUTE NEGLIGENCE! I can't even fathom running a business like this...

Upon further review... It looks like they outsource their scheduling. Clearly, it's all about the…read moremoney here and they won't even employ someone local (or that lives in the US) to do their scheduling... Read on for my original review. I do not know who handles their scheduling for appointments, but he needs to be replaced immediately. I called on a Monday, and apparently, their system was down. He told me he'd call back in 30 minutes to an hour. By Thursday, I still hadn't received a call back, so I called again. Same man picked up the phone and (again) he was very difficult to hear and understand. When I asked him to repeat his question, he immediately became very condescending and began speaking to me in a very slow and rude tone. After I provided all of my insurance information, he refused to make me an appointment because of "a past due balance." We have never been to this office, we have no past-due balance with any provider, and our insurance is paid in full. He adamantly refused to make an the appointment until he "spoke with" his supervisor. He said he'd call me back in 15 minutes... Here we are HOURS later and no call. I called my insurance, and they saw no issue and were very confused about why we could not make an appointment. I went ahead and EASILY made an appointment with UCSF.

worst orthopedic office in Bay Area…read more poor patient care. actually complete lack of patient care. money hungry doctors punching a clock and practicing very little medicine.
