Loren, the TMS tech, was fantastic. Madonna, a nurse, was fantastic. Dr. Ananth gave me two referrals that I was very desperate for, and I greatly appreciate that! They were referrals for treatments that they do not do in that office and are pretty extreme. He said he wanted me to exhaust all other options before giving me referrals to those two treatments. I did exhaust all other options, so he did finally give me those two referrals. Again, I'm very grateful to him for doing that because I don't think I would've been able to pursue those treatments without his referral or a referral by another psychiatrist. One thing that bothers me a lot, though, is that, instead of being offered Spravato, which is covered by my insurance, I could only do IV ketamine there. I don't know why they didn't offer Sp I experienced zero effect until my sixth treatment. Cash pay at that time for me was extremely expensive (about $600 per session). So, the first $3000 worth of IV Ketamine treatment was completely ineffective for me.

Went to the UCLA Ortho Clinic as I had back pain. For sure I knew at age 78 I had degenerative…read moredisease. While the clinic is supposedly under the supervision of Dr.Yang I ended up seeing a Resident Who I believe wishes he were somewhere else. At the end of the visit Dr. Yang comes in, offering a few words, and departs. Don't remember him discussing the case. The experience was disappointing. Fast forward a year.... My back is worse and I am having Sciatic problems. Can't take NSAIDS so I am stuck with Prednisone....not good! I visited my primary care doctor and attempted to make an Ortho appointment. It seems that as I prior walked into the Otho Clinic I can't use it again and I am eternally locked to Dr. Yang as my Orthopedic Physician. Dr. Yang is an elusive fellow. Takes months to get an appointment. Online there is no way to "remove" Dr. Yang and make an appointment (hopefully sooner) with a different specialist. Last I looked appointments with the elusive Dr. were 2 months into the future. I know there are other Orthopedists. I would travel to Westwood if that was the only way to gain a near future appointment. A few words about UCLA care in general. While it is a teaching hospital with all the latest and greatest treatments it does have problems. They have, over the past years tried to bulk up outpatient flow by taking in additional Primary Care doctors. What they haven't done is to bulk up ancillary services and the availability of specialists. SO....for an x-ray or other outpatient need you end up being scheduled a month later. In the case of orthopedics try/ 2 months to gain an appointment. This is not customer based good medical care.

Yes the wait is long and yes office staff not warm (staff generally in medical industry is a problem) and yes because Dr Yang is busy is because he is premier at what he does. I came in not like a social visit because busy doctors like to focus and solve an issue. I provided my MRI results, medical records, and with just a few questions pros and cons based on my research and neurosurgeon advice. Dr Yang gave a better recommended shot (also without oblation ...means to not cutting nerves). . It's a temporary shot to reduce inflammation to help heal and manage pain. The surgical staff is amazing!. I woke up without pain Doctor personally after shot visited and instructed to rest a week, no gym lifting ... just light walking , and no driving for month or minimally.On 3rd month follow up visit I was able to drive 45 minutes without pain. Dr Yang then recommended pain management and therapy and a sleep number bed to support my back which he also uses. I can drive an hour now but always have to walk afterwards for my collagen issue situation.Now able a light gym workout, bike and walk again... enjoy life. He is very rare for his age and gifted... a truly vocational doctor that I also recommended to partner with my Neurosurgeon Dr Liker.

Dr. Von Kriengenberg was fair, nothing special about her, however her staff is AWFUL! It took…read moreapproximately 10 phone calls for someone to answer the phone, I tried scheduling an appointment for over a week, even leaving multiple messages, but no one returns calls or the voicemail is full. Once I finally saw the doctor, she suggested a follow up visit in 1 month. I asked if I should schedule it then, but she said no, they'd reach out & schedule with me directly. I never heard from them... 2 1/2 months later I tried calling them to schedule an appointment & experienced the same issues as the 1st time I tried to schedule an appointment- I finally reached someone @ 4 months past my initial appointment. I spoke w/ the scheduling person & she said she couldn't schedule & that someone would call me back that day, to schedule an appointment. Surprise, Surprise they never called... I've tried following up a few times since then, but again nobody answers... I've given up, doctor wasn't that great anyway- By the way, my initial appointment was in Jan 2024, it is now June 2024 & still haven't heard from them, other than a bill I received in May. If you're smart, you'd find another physician! I wish my insurance still took my original doctor.

It took months of back and forth. I would think they would be more attentive as people that go there are very often experiencing immense pain. Dr. Katrina Von Kriegenbergh is very attentive during the office visit. However, when the first shot didn't alleviate the pain she devised a plan b which included another set of shots and a proposed plan C if necessary. During the procedure nothing was explained, I was told to pick up my shirt and lay face down. No guidance as to what to expect from the procedure while the doctor and her assistant spoke to each other about irrelevant things. Perhaps it's due to them doing this repetitively however, it'd be less nerve racking if the procedure was briefly explained to the patient. After the shots I was told I'd get a follow up call within 2 days to see if they had worked, it's been over 6 months and I never received that call. I did however get a bill for over $200, for the shots they advised me wouldn't cost me anything out of pocket. Needless to say there will be no further follow up from me. I'll unfortunately have to look elsewhere.

I have been seeing Dr. Arita for almost 10 years. Recently, I have had pain in my lower back, and…read morealthough I have been going to chiropractors for a year, it has not gotten better, so I visited Dr. Arita. After two consultations, he gave me a painkiller injection in my lower back. Dr. Arita's diagnosis was accurate, and thanks to him, I have improved to an amazing extent. Also, when I had the injection in my lower back, the procedure was done in the doctor's office, so I didn't have to go to another hospital, which was very convenient. Also, two nurses were by my side all the time, holding my hand. The doctor also talked to me about various things, which helped me relax as I was scared of the injection, which was very reassuring. I live in OC, so it's a little far, but Dr. Arita carefully considers the treatment options, so I think he's a trustworthy doctor. He doesn't make me go back in for many times. First, he listens to me, identifies the area that hurts, prescribes the appropriate medicine, and if that doesn't work, he tells me the next treatment. Then, after I get better, he introduces me to physical therapy and releases me from my own consultation, so I don't have to go there unnecessarily. If I ever have any pain in the future I won't hesitate to go to him.

I would like to express my concerns regarding my recent experience as a patient, which has been one…read moreof the most challenging in my 53 years. When a patient is referred to your practice, it is typically with the expectation of receiving medical assistance and having their concerns addressed. I sought your office for pain management, specifically to help alleviate my discomfort. I have undergone a total left knee replacement and five additional surgeries, which have limited my range of motion to 74 degrees. I am currently attending physical therapy twice a week to improve my mobility. I am experiencing pain, swelling, and fluid in my knee. Despite this, your primary concern appeared to be regarding the medication I am prescribed, which is indeed for pain. Had you thoroughly reviewed my medical records, you would have understood my complete history, which would have explained my inability to take the medication you suggested. Your recommendation to take Tylenol felt dismissive and unhelpful. I felt that I was not truly heard, nor did I perceive a genuine concern for my well-being as a patient. I left your office questioning the purpose of my visit, and I believe no patient should ever feel this way. I am not merely a statistic or someone seeking drugs; I am a patient experiencing chronic pain due to unforeseen complications from my surgeries. It seemed as though the focus was on a general approach to patient care rather than an individualized assessment of my specific needs.
