The office never called me back. They did remember to send me a bill marked past due even though it was the first bill I ever received. The amount he billed was remarkable!

Maybe you should check out some other physicians.

As a Kaiser HMO patient I was referred to Dr. Messiha for Pain Management. They often refer outside…read moreof their health system for efficiency and I'm very happy that they did. Dr. Messiha was extremely thorough both with reviewing my medical records and my face to face consultation with him. He did not rush me or rush to conclusions about procedures that may or may not help me. He spent a great deal of time explaining that my symptoms directly correlate with my MRI results and made me feel like I finally understood where my pain and limitations were coming from. Even though the referral from Kaiser included injections; Dr. Messiha left that decision totally up to me given my limitations with an allergy to steroids and the possibility that injections without steroids may not be helpful. He made recommendations to my PM&R physician at Kaiser and helped me make a plan going forward. As an RN I know how difficult navigating our health system is for both patients and providers and I was so pleased with how his office staff handled everything behind the scenes ahead of my appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Messiha and his practice if you are in need of pain management or even a second opinion. He is beyond professional and I'm so happy I went to see him. I now understand my condition better than before and know that I can make an informed decision based on new knowledge.

My review is for the front office and management, as I was not able to see the doctor. I called to…read moremake an appointment and provided all of the information that I was asked for. Shortly after hanging up the phone, I got a text from the young girl who scheduled my appointment. She asked me to send her a copy of my driver's license by replying to the text, which I promptly did. On the day of my appointment, I arrived at the office 15 minutes early to fill out any additional paperwork. The girl answering the phones was busy making an appt for a new patient which, as I already knew, is very time-consuming. There were two other staff members present, but apparently none of them were trained to hand me my new patient check-in forms because they told me I'd have to wait. So finally, around 15 minutes later, the young girl was done with her phone call and able to check me in. The only problem is that I was not on their schedule. Not only that, but they didn't seem to have any record of me at all. Had I gone to the wrong office?? I scrolled through my texts to find the one requesting my license, in which the girl had stated her name. I said "isn't this you?" Yes, it was her and I was at the right place. Why am I not on the schedule at the time we discussed?? According to the young girl, she never received the picture of my license (which, from my end, had been sent), so she cancelled the appointment. No follow-up call requesting my license again. I don't even think I got a call letting me know they were cancelling the appt, although they had already set the precedent of communicating by text, so it would've been appropriate to send a follow-up text. When I pressed her to find out why there was no follow through, she said that she only works there part-time, so there was no way for her to follow up with me the next day, as it was her day off. Now, I don't solely blame her. She was obviously rather young and inexperienced and was just doing her best. But what a terrible lack of management that there are no procedures in place to handle this kind of thing! And what kind of establishment just cancels an appt after I obviously wanted to see the doctor, based on my initial investment of time in scheduling the appt?? I had already waited a couple of weeks for my appt, and I was in a tremendous amount of pain due to a pinched nerve in my neck. On top of that, they had wasted another 20 minutes of my time since I had arrived at the office for my appointment. The best they could do was to apologize and offer me an appointment in another week or so. No thanks. At this point, I think the appropriate thing for the doctor to do would be to see me that day. I understand maybe he was completely booked. Then he should stay late. I would've come back at the end of the day. I had already arranged to have the afternoon off from work so that I could be seen by him, and I find it inexcusable that the office is run in such a way that the staff just cancels appts because of one small piece of information missing. They demonstrated a total lack of consideration for my time and circumstances.

I went to the same pain management Dr I've seen in the past 8 years before and after my prior right shoulder replacement. I also suffer from a severe case Nail Pattella Syndrome that I was born with, its degenerative in nature and has caused chronic pain most of my life starting at 12 years of age with the radial head being excised from my right arm and now effecting my knees, elbows, shoulders back and hips. I went into pain management on May 17th and submitted current xrays and reports and told the Dr my surgery schedule for full shoulder replacement June 21st and again referenced having a severe case of NPS which he didn't even know what that was. I told him I was seen in the ER and that Dr supplied me with pain meds, I've not been on pain meds over 4 plus years. This Dr asked me what I wanted from him. I asked him did you look a the ER Dr's report and all that I submitted? He said no, I then told him to please look at the report and I just wanted to stay on the same meds that the ER Dr had given me, Norco 10/325s 3× a day and Flexiril 10s if possible until surgery June 21st and after for PT. He argued and told me an ER Dr would never have prescribed those meds and then told me he couldn't treat me and asked I leave his office with no referral to another Dr or explanation. I now have no pain management before or after surgery as the next closest appointment with another pain management Dr is October 17th. I'm in extreme pain and feel my rights as a patient and disabled person have been neglected and think my Dr has abandoned and discriminated me without reason.

When I first walked into his office, I could barely walk, I could not stand up straight, I was in so much pain, it was debilitating and had affected my life so significantly there were days I couldn't leave my bed. Pain management is a process and it takes a ton of patience. Dr. Barnhill has the patience of a saint. He has systematically addressed every source of pain and resolved it. He is extremely thorough when explaining my procedures. He makes me feel safe. He eases my anxiety. He is an incredible doctor. With my permission he has worked with my care team for the best possible results and most successful long-term solutions. He is standing in the room with me at my exact appointment time, I am never waiting for him. His office is easy to come in and out of and planning my appointments around the rest of my day are very easy because of his punctuality. Elena is incredible. She is his office staff she gets authorizations for procedures on the spot. She goes above and beyond any office worker I have ever dealt with everyone is extremely friendly and I cannot think of enough wonderful things to say about both Dr. Barnhill and Elena. If you are looking for pain management, but you don't know where to start, start with Dr. Barnhill. He will guide you the rest of the way so you can live the rest of your life and leave the pain management journey in his hands. You will not regret it.

I am really sorry to have to post such a poor review, but the facts speak for themselves. I was a…read morepatient at this clinic , seeing Dr. Pouradib for about 15 years, all 5 star years. I never had an issue, the staff was exemplary. So much so, I frequently filled out comment cards for them in house on how well I was treated and when I moved to Riverside I continued to drive to Laguna Hills to see Dr. Pouradib, he was that caring, compassionate and effective. I couldn't imagine ever going elsewhere. I honored the patient/doctor contract regarding medication explicitly, and truly felt like Dr. Pouradib was my partner in helping me live my life with such a degree of pain. The nightmare began when for whatever reason I was switched to Dr. Harris. A colder, less compassionate arrogant pain care provider It has never been my misfortune to meet. I don't know why he chose this specialty. He does not have the temperament to deal with people in pain, his manner is very condescending. Additionally, he is rarely available to his patient. No matter when I called, I never got a call back. He was only available to me once a month for a teleconference to go over my medication. Even when I called and specifically requested an in office appointment to see him to discuss how bad my pain had gotten, within 2-3 days the office would call and change it to a teleconference with Crystal, his PA, when I complained and said I had needed an in person appointment, I was told I could discuss it with Crystal when she called. In my opinion Dr. Harris, and I use the term doctor lightly, is no more than a medication prescriber, he does not want to look at other ways to possibly help the patient, but then he is quick to believe there is a problem based on incorrect messages he has received by a severely less competent, less caring staff who are just there to get paid at the end of the week and don't realize or care how critical it is to take an accurate message. I gave it a try, I tried discussing my feelings with him and even then I felt he couldn't care less what I was telling him. I felt he would prefer I left their practice. Even though he denied feeling that way, he was just so cold when he said "if that's what you want to do" so I did. I found a new provider who was just as caring and compassionate as Dr. Pouradib was and who was ready to be a partner with me in finding some new ways to manage my pain. I truly hope Dr. Harris and Dr. Pouradib are not partners because Dr. Harris will bring Pain Management Clinic down from an all 5 star clinic, to barely making 1 star reviews.
