My 87-year-old mother was experiencing severe sciatica pain for about a month. We saw that Dr. John…read moreVillanueva specialized in spine and pain management. After a quick exam on my mother, he determined she had piriformis syndrome and a stenosis condition, and he scheduled her for an injection that he was to perform. After the procedure, my mother's pain got much worse. He had prescribed pain killers, but they weren't helping. We called his office to see if she could take a higher dose, but after a couple of business days, Dr. Villanueva did not get back to us. We called a third time and were told she could take a higher dose. We asked for a follow-up appointment, since she was in even more pain than before the epidural shot he administered. Then the day before her scheduled follow-up, the office called to say they had to reschedule it to the following week. We got very angry that my mother clearly wasn't doing well and that we couldn't get his attention for a follow up. They then took us as a "walk in," and after several hours of waiting, the doctor finally got to examine my mother. During this visit, Dr. Villanueva prescribed a lumbar MRI. The MRI revealed severe stenosis pressing directly on the sciatic nerve. At that point it was clear that only spinal surgery could solve this issue. We proceeded to find a qualified surgeon, and my mother's condition improved dramatically about 3 weeks after the operation. I question Dr. Villanueva's ethics. He was quick to determine that my mother had piriformis syndrome, which was not the case. He should have initially referred her for a lumbar MRI to even see what the problem was. A principled doctor would have determined from the MRI that her stenosis condition was severe and not something a simple epidural could fix. Instead, Dr. John Villanueva took the insurance money to do his thing. We wasted a lot of time and went through a lot of aggravation instead of getting a competent diagnosis from the start. He was slow to respond and did not show empathy for my mother's extreme pain level.

They referred me to the front desk at the office who doesn't return calls. I had an appointment scheduled, but was told after three weeks by someone in a call center somewhere, who admitted she wouldn't have the most accurate information, that they only work on the back and not other areas of pain. I was referred by my spine doctor, but he knows that my whole body is in pain so he wouldn't have referred me to someone just for the back. If you do manage to get through to the office, they don't answer the phones. It just rings and rings and goes to voicemail. I've read through many of the reviews on here, and that seems to be the general consensus. As someone who worked in a medical office at the front desk, I know that if they are not answering the phones and reflecting good customer service, that gives me a bad feeling about what my experience will be once I get there which at this point maybe never because I am not booking an appointment until I know if he treats my issues. The fact that I can't get an answer like that from the people at the call center, reflects poorly on the company.

Regular mouthguards didn't do anything for me because I just clenched into them. I was in so much pain. Using technology, he developed at UCLA, He created two mouthguards for me to offload the pressure and train my jaw not to clench both day and night. I cannot believe the difference! My head, neck and jaw pain has drastically been reduced, and I am finally not clenching as much anymore. My understanding is some other dentists create devices that shift your teeth and you end up having to get braces. With the treatments, Dr. Demerjian offers it does not impact your teeth and you do not need braces. He is so intelligent and attentive!

Called, spoke directly to Arman Antanyan (main person who performs these procedures) and set up an appointment, I thought it would be for initial evaluation but he said they could perform the procedure on that same visit. Since there weren't that many reviews (and none mentioning the procedure I needed), and Arman Antanyan is not licensed as an MD in the US, I asked some questions about his training in the procedure, the clinic's success rate with it, and how many times he'd performed it in the past. I got either no answer or vague answers from him to all of these questions. For the last one, once I asked it Arman said he was seeing a patient and I should call later in the day, then when I called after the time he specified it went to voicemail and I left a message asking how many times he'd done the procedure, and when I called an hour later (still during business hours) it went straight to voicemail, and then an hour after that I got a text from the same clinic # from "Lizzy" saying that they were canceling my appointment because "Our doctors had a discussion and came to a conclusion" that this procedure would "not be effective in your case" based on my medical history - A TOTAL LIE. I'd done all explaining of my medical history during the first phone call when I set up the appointment, they were happy to set it up at that point and only canceled after I started asking questions. TLDR: Clinic canceled appointment after not being able to answer questions about training, experience and success rates, made up lies to justify canceling the appointment. Extremely shady. Do not trust them with your body.
