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.

Do you suffer from any fears or phobias? Do you ever get…read moreany test anxiety or suffer from stress? Do you need to lose weight or stop smoking? When you need a real break-through in your life, I highly recommend to see Dr Bunny Vreeland. She is a clinical hypnotherapist who can definitely help you. I first met her through my BNI business referral group. I initially heard many testimonials from my fellow members who used her service to deal with weight loss, depression, stress & anxiety issues. She helped many others eliminate their fears & phobias too. I thought I had an issue that would be too hard for her to help. I had a very hard time remembering the good times I had with my father when he was alive. Background: My dad passed away when I was 9 years old. When he was alive, he seemed to only talk to me when I needed to be disciplined. Needless to say, I felt like I was walking on eggshells with him around. After he passed away, I realized I had trouble remembering the "good times" I had with him. When I met Dr Bunny in my 30s, I could only remember a total of 5 good memories of my father. I refused to believe I only had 5 good memories of him. When I asked Dr Bunny if she could help me, she quickly said YES! I was blown away! So I asked her how much a session was and when she told me it was under $100, I thought "what do I have to lose?" Rather I had more to gain if it worked. After meeting with her for a 1 hour session, she gave me a notepad and said you will need to write down all the memories on the notepad as they come back to you. I was like "really, that's it" As I started to drive home, many memories of my dad flooded my brain. In the 1st hour, I remembered a total of 30 precious memories of my daddy. This session was priceless!!!! And now, I am even a better dad to my own son after this ONE session! Thank you Dr Bunny for breaking down the wall of fear that I built up inside me as a child! I'm forever grateful!!

My emotions told me that I was Never supposed to show emotion towards my daughter and put that on her which in my opinion and I've always been taught in therapy that being honest and showing emotion is a good thing. She made me cry all the way home and after I got done talking to my therapist and multiple people about what she did, they agreed that there was nothing wrong with me, showing emotion. And the fact that my daughter was not comfortable, she was not her outgoing self. She was quiet and meek that is quite opposite of my daughter's personality. I even reported that one of my daughters had a full-blown eating disorder and she did nothing about it I was reporting abuse going on after their father's house and she did nothing about it. I would be very cautious when seeing this therapist.
