    Dr Hollen was kind, interested, respectful and compassionate regarding my diagnosis which is not good.

    I canceled my appointment before I ever met with the provider because my experience with the office…read morestaff made me uncomfortable trusting this practice with my health. As a patient seeking help for pain, communication matters. Before my appointment, I tried to confirm the details but did not receive a clear response by email, text, or phone. When a medical office is difficult to reach before you are even seen, that raises serious concerns about how responsive they will be once you are actually under their care. After receiving no confirmation, I contacted the office. When I did not receive a confirmation of the cancellation, I called a second time and left a voicemail message canceling my appointment a second time. Despite that, I was later billed as a "no show", which is unacceptable. If the office fails to respond, fails to properly confirm an appointment, and then fails to process a cancellation, the patient should not be penalized for that breakdown. I cannot speak to the doctor's medical care because I never made it that far. But I can speak to the office experience, and it was poor enough that I chose not to proceed. For anyone dealing with pain, the last thing you need is added stress, unclear communication, and billing issues before care has even begun. This experience left me with the impression that the practice is more focused on collecting fees than making patients feel heard, supported, and properly cared for.

    This place is more of a scam operation than anything remotely resembling a legitimate pain clinic…read more Their online check in was not working and they did not respond to emails but I was able to get through via phone to confirm my appointment. It's a fairly large facility and I was the only patient there when I arrived. After reading this, you'll understand why. First thing they wanted was payment in advance! Who does that??? Finally settled for (unsigned) card swipe. After a sort of pre-interview with an assistant, Dr. Kwo Wei David Ho came in and asked briefly about my chronic pain issues. He seemed more concerned about what secondary insurance plans I had than anything else. I told him what the issues were and that I had been successfully managing my pain levels with very low dose Lyrica and Valium for decades, as prescribed by all of my previous physicians. When I switched to Medicare at age 65 I lost my previous doctor so I was referred here. Simple, right? Oh no! While the doctor did offer to give me literally twice as many Lyrica as I had been taking, he outright refused to prescribe any Valium at all. It's worth mentioning that I only take 12 pills a month and no other medications. I asked him for a medical reason for not prescribing valium and he refused to provide one. All he said was he would ONLY prescribe valium if I agreed to painful, costly, risky and (per my research) useless spinal injection treatments. So there it is! They lure you in thinking you'll be treated for chronic pain and instead try to basically extort you into enduring costly, painful and potentially destructive treatments just to get the meds you actually need. This is a sickening case of profit and greed at the expense of patient health and well being. They prey upon the elderly and infirm to hawk their costly treatments and then deny them the meds they need if they refuse. I told them not to run my card for services not rendered and I will immediately instruct my bank to issue a chargeback if they do. I am also notifying Medicare that any charges from this clinic are fraudulent as services were not rendered, at all. If anything, they should pay me for wasting my time! I highly encourage anyone with chronic pain to avoid this shady practice like the plague!

    Arrived for an appointment originally made 4 months previously and changed by NW Functional twice…read moresubsequently only to find out that the appointment had been cancelled because of some bogus Medicare issue. Told by one of the associates that the practice had been advised not to see anyone of "Medicare" age while various approvals were being sought. We were very hopeful that this "different" approach to our condition might provide some hope and could not be told when we could possibly be seen. The lack of professional practice management makes us doubt the value and skills of this approach and we will be unlikely to accept a future appointment. Extremely disappointed! Felt we were told a series of lies regarding the scheduled appointment. Seriously deficient in management of the basics of a health-related practice. This rating would be lower if it was offered.

    I was with dr. zilinski for at least 2 weeks of intensive care therapy treatment and he was more…read morethan wonderful in helping me figure out my diagnosis's that i've been wondering for the last couple years and within my first appointment he got them in a 2 hour time span! he knew exactly how to treat it and rewire my brain so that it didn't affect my body to align again and both weeks did that. him and the assistant probably saved my life. and i always will remember that. thank you.... as for mrs. zilinski i was wrongly accused of being drunk one appointment, where i was ABSOLUTELY NOT. i was awake for 24 hours straight, i could not fall asleep i was shaking and stumbling over my words (which is a HUGE symptom of POTS. my BIGGEST diagnosis i got from her husband. i was wearing the same clothes as i wore the previous day. that night around dinner time (7:00pm) i drank 2 glasses of wine.... a normal amount?! but because i couldn't fall asleep that night and didn't shower or brush my teeth in the morning because i was late to my appointment, i probably still smelled like it. i get that. but... she got loud with me and accused me of being drunk and did NOT listen to me when i told her i was not at all: being awake for 24 hours in results of shaking and having major anxiety because of it, not showering, had 2 glasses of wine the previous night, but would never not only drink and show up to an appointment but would NEVER drink and drive. she did not give a fuck if anything i said. she just kept making a sour face and continued to say i smell like alcohol and am drunk. I. WAS. NOT. got pissed off as anyone would be for the accusation and told everyone in the building i was drunk and to end working with me. then would not even LET me drive home. sent a fucking UBER. took my keys and wouldn't let me have them back!!! WHAT THE HELL. i went to my doctor afterwards and asked them to draw my blood to see if there was any alcohol in my system. none. had to come back in the next day to get my keys. everyone at the front desk were whispering about me and giving me disgusted looks. and mrs zilinski never talked to me blatantly ignoring me when i tried to speak to her again about it. and brushed me off and walked away. that is the most unprofessional thing i've ever seen from a LICENSED professional, who is a "psychologist". assuming and accusations based off their actions towards the situation. I absolutely recommend the neurologist side, but NEVER go to her. i am absolutely appalled by the way i was treated by her and the childish behavior and comments she chose to unprofessionally spoke towards me. 0 stars actually -10 stars for what SHE chose to say about me with a literal doctors confirmation that i was sober. im extremely sad and angry still 6 months later than i cannot see them anymore because of being accused and mistreated by her. on another note: intensive care therapy treatment for ONE week costed me $10,000 so imagine the TWO weeks to be treated for my 7 different diagnoses i was given all at once in august that means i spent $20,000 for the neurology team to help me get better results... one appointment with mrs. zilinsky on the psychological side costed me $350-425 and i saw her twice. unbelievable it's almost like she just wanted my money instead of being the role she played being a "professional" before she kicked me out and still required me to pay for the appointment that i barely was 15 minutes into. WORST psychologist i've ever encountered!
