Dr. Sheldon Jordan in Santa Monica belongs in jail! He prescribed opioids from 2000 to 2016 to me after enduring a staph infection from Dr. Aaron Filler's OR at UCLA Medical Center and Hospital. Those opioids, per my psychiatrist and my neurologist have changed my brain forevermore! How does one put a price on a healthy brain? This is what my workplace owes me, California Lutheran University! Please do not go to Dr. Sheldon Jordan! read more

Sheldon Jordan, MD is the most incredible physician I have ever been to. My grandfather and my husband were both fantastic doctors and they would have been thrilled that I was able to connect with Dr. Jordon. I traveled from the east coast to the west coast to see him and it was well worth it. I shared the information provided to me with my primary physician and he said that some of the test were cutting edge and he was very impressed. I had not been correctly diagnosed by the hospital specialist in Virginia and I knew something was not right. Dr. Sheldon listened like nobody did before and made it crystal clear what I had experienced. I also did a zoom meeting with him and ended up back at the emergency room because he didn't like what he was seeing. He was right on target. He modified my medication and I have been doing great ever since! Thank you Dr. Jordon. The office staff are a pleasure to work with. They go out of their way to be of assistance whenever needed. Yes, the care can be expensive but there is no price you can put on good health and feeling well. read more

Dedicated to helping patients. Kind, thorough compassionate, knowledgeable with great expertise

No one can rock a bow tie like Dr. Jordan. I have been seeing Dr. Jordan for a few years now. I suffer from TOS and have chronic muscle pain issues. I receive botox injections twice a year and this is the first time in a long time that my pain has been under control and manageable. Dr. Jordan is amazing. He is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I always know what to expect with any procedure that I have done. The office staff is very friendly as well. Miss Ann is probably my favorite part of my visit. She always has a mountain of work around her, the phone ringing non stop, yet she always takes the time to ask how I am doing and process all of the proper paperwork and with a smile on her face. read more

Good dr. Great bedside manner. Horrible at being punctual. He's always running hours behind schedule. I'm Having a scalene block. We will see if it works. After having to see Dr. Jordan over a several year period I realize he did the best he could with limited support from the insurance company (WC). I'm sure in a diff environment he could have truly made an impact on my recovery despite his punctuality. I trusted him completely. I believed he had my best interest at heart. And more importantly I think he also believed he could relieve my pain. Unfortunately the insurance terminated his care for me because they didn't want to pay. His treatment plans were somewhat new, stem cell. read more

About 5 years ago, I started getting chronic debilitating migraines out of no where. They became so severe and frequent that I was forced to stop working as a successful attorney and has to get on Social Security disability benefits to survive. I went to dozens of the top neurologists in LA, and to top migraine clinics out of state too, but after trying myriad medications, procedures and treatments I came to a dead end. It seemed as if I had "tried it all" and no matter how many doctors I went to for help trying to solve this life- devastating mystery, no one had any ideas on how to help. Until I met Dr Jordan! I've been seeing Dr Jordan on a monthly basis for over 3 years now. He is considered to be sort of "cowboy" in his field bc he thinks out of the conventional medicine box. Every time I see Dr Jordan he has a new idea to treat the migraines, whether it be stem cell therapy, medication that is not traditionally used for the treatment of migraines, or he has news about new migraine medications that are in the process of being FDA approved and that should be available to me soon. His unwavering optimism has been absolutely critical during my struggle. He was and still is confident that we will find something to help cure the migraines even when no one else, including myself, was. I trust him completely and know that he is doing everything he can to help me! I am so grateful to have found Dr Jordan and his amazing team of support staff, including Veronica and Xavier! I know that Dr Jordan will eventually figure out how to cure my migraines so that I can have my life back, but until then, at least he's keeping me as comfortable as possible and I feel so blessed to have him on my side in this fight for my health. It's really crazy how much you take your health for granted. I hope you never have the need to see him, but if you need a neurologist, it doesn't get any better than Dr Sheldon Jordan. read more

Brenda C.H. Livermore,Ca Dr. Jordan is the Doctor to get to if your case is complicated. In my case, Brachial Neuritis following messy TOS surgeries at UCSF 2005-06, Dr.Jordan has given me back my lifestyle, my family... on minimal medication. He's quite brilliant and he cares. He is passionate with taking the very subjective pain world and approaching my case, my body with what feels like a blueprint he calculates and lays out. He then skillfully, intuitively puts me back together again. I have recently dealt w/ CRPS that has spread before my health insurance would approve his care between appointments. This syndrome is brutal. My husband and I both know w/ Dr.Jordan we will succeed getting through this. For anyone suffering out there w/ this type of pain, w/ few excellent doctors who exist... I hope you get the care we receive through Dr.J, it brings back hope. Lastly, for over 7 yrs. his nurse Xavier has walked us through a few very tough days w/ his guidance, words and goodness. read more

I have been diagnosed with Bilateral Thoracic Outlet Syndrome or TOS. My injury happened due to lifting in 2002. I have had three surgeries over the last 11 years preformed by Dr. Gelabert at UCLA. Removal of left first rib, right first rib, middle scalene muscle. 100% relief after each surgery. Pain returned after 18 months of each surgery. Surgery is not helping so seeing Dr. Jordan for medication therapy. Physical therapy aggravates pain. I have been getting injections in cervical spine with good results, which allows me to get off the medication for several months. This is all I have right now for living life. It is not the best but is all I have for now. Workers Compensation is a pain in my butt. They cause more pain then help. Getting off track. Dr. Jordan is a kind man and has the best bedside manner. He has the best staff, Ann. She works very hard and handles all the paper work. She smiles and asks how I am doing with genuine interest. I have been coming here for 8 years now. I have no complaints. read more

Dr. Jordan is an amazing doctor. He diagnosed my Thoracic Outlet Syndrome first visit. I carried my right arm when I first entered his exam room. I was in excruciating pain. I got little sleep due to pain. 3 previous doctors missed it. (Even at UCSF) I was there as I wanted an ablation higher in the cervical area than most doctors will go. He worked me in for the procedure 2 days after I first saw him as I was 550 miles from home. He honestly cares for his patients. If I hadn't been referred to him my quality of life would be where dying would seem better than living. Xavier is his primary nurse and a big gentle man. I feel safe and well cared for with him. As an RN myself that is high praise. read more

Dr. Sheldon is an amazing doctor. He take his time with you to understand your issues and does his absolute best to help you. I would highly recommend him. read more

I do think he is quite sincere and knowledgeable. Unlike many doctors he doesn't have a complex of insecurity that I perceive ofand has no agenda other than helping you with what he knows. Thankfully he is very intelligent. I just wish he didn't cost so much but it is what it is. read more

Dr. Jordan is easily one of the worst physicians I have seen over the course of the last few years. I have a condition called chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which is a debilitating pain disorder that there are few conventional medical treatments for. I visited Dr. Jordan because I heard he specializes in pelvic pain, even though the price tag on his services (he doesn't accept many [any?] insurances) was very steep: one procedure cost me upwards of $2,500. If the treatment had been effective, or if Dr. Jordan had been conscientious, or if his office staff had been helpful, or if I wasn't made to wait over an hour to see him, I would have certainly overlooked the cost of treatment. Unfortunately, none of those things were the case. Dr. Jordan strikes me as the type of physician who is largely concerned with how much money he makes. He has a decent bedside manner, but I was blown away by the lack of competence he demonstrated during my initial appointment (I have seen many other physicians across the U.S. for my condition). He did not examine me AT ALL and instead simply took notes. He seems to think that expensive technology can replace the role of a physician in determining -- through things like palpation of muscles -- the origin of pain. I was deeply disappointed by my experience with Dr. Jordan and would highly recommend seeking care from someone other than him if you have pelvic pain. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Jordan since the fall of 2014. He is hands down probably the best physician I've met in my life- for a variety of reasons. He is very creative and listens. he goes over the time allotted. Love his assistant Veronica too and Anne in the office and his billing manager too Mila. His nurse Xavier is amazing. They have all been so wonderful to me. I go every 3 months. read more

Having gone to four docs in Santa Barbara I was referred by friends to Dr. Jordan. He immediately diagnosed the condition, radiation neuropathy, and started treatment injections. Within three weeks the stabbing pain in my L leg was gone. I had suffered for five months. The sciatic nerve was being pinched by the periformis muscle. More than I ever wanted to know. Dr. Jordan is thorough, thoughtful, and spends time with his patients. I could not be more pleased with Dr. J. He is a talented Renaissance man as well. See his delightful paintings in his office and waiting room, and his knowledge of every continent is most impressive. read more

I am so pleased to have a forum in which to tell others how wonderful Dr. Jordan, and his incredible assistant, Ann, are! In fact, I live about 100 miles away from his office and make the long drive in order to see him - he is so worth it! I have seen Dr. Jordan over the past couple of years because of severe thoracic outlet syndrome and ulnar nerve issues. He really is a very high caliber doctor, and every time I see him, I'm so grateful that he is my doctor. I recently saw a letter from one doctor to another who referred to Dr. Jordan as, and I quote, "A nationally recognized expert in the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome." He is indeed. Not only does he come up with creative & effective ways to help me medically and pain - wise, but under that professional exterior of his lies a heart of gold. He has been a steadfast champion of me and my care to insurance companies and the like. Once, he worked late into the night right before going out of town on information for me for an insurance company who was treating me very unfairly. It shouldn't have been of concern to him, for he had already been paid, but he could not stand that someone was taking advantage of me, and he fought for me. I was so touched by that. And, he could've waited until he got back from his short trip to so kindly help me, but he was so outraged by how I was being treated he stayed up that night and did it that very day. This is the kind of wonderful doctor and person Dr. Jordan is. He genuinely cares about his patients and their welfare. And, it amazes me how Dr. Jordan always has his pulse on new treatments that are being discovered. He is always so far ahead of other doctors in this regard. He truly is cutting-edge in regards to medical treatments. His assistant extraordinaire, Ann, always has a smile on her face and in the lilt of her voice for you, even when things are so very busy for her. I can't begin to tell you the number of times she has gone above and beyond to so kindly help me, which has really made a difference in several matters for me.I always look forward to seeing her. She is incredibly smart, efficient, creative, effective and kind. I highly recommend this dynamic duo! read more

Dr. Jordan is one of the best physicians that I have ever had. He is not afraid of a challenge and he will not stop until you have relief. He's a genius. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Jordan takes a comprehensive approach in treating me. In the 24 years since an accident which ruined a happy, active, aspiring life, I've had 38 surgeries , with many procedures to undergo. Bottom line:I deal with exquisite pain--lower back pain (thanks to herniated discs , DDD, musculoskeletal misalignment) knee pain, stomach issues, depression... and on and on..... As a chronic pain "survivor," I have one other constant in my life: total unreliability from hour to hour, day after day. I don't need to explain the deleterious effects to other 'survivors' and this is why Dr. Jordan's treatment plan is an all-encompassing one. He realizes one's emotional and psychological well-being are critical to positive results. Dr, Jordan treats me with respect and takes the time to fully explain my treatment plan and answer my questions. He is easy-going with a welcome sense of humor. His knowledge and expertise are unparalleled and he stays current with cutting-edge , non-surgical procedures ....of course, the insurance company has a myopic view when common sense is involved. Invariably, when the third-party administrator causes unbelievable and completely avoidable problems, Veronica, Dr. Jordan's assistant, works tirelessly to help me; I am grateful to her and the entire staff for never giving up on me. read more

Dr. Jordan has been treating my wife for trigeminal neuralgia for over a year now. He is a very significant professional, and his work makes the MD's and pain specialists at USC and UCLA look second rate. He has done what these institutions could not do. She has an excellent, effective theapeutic strategy which Dr. Jordan is keeping right on course. He is a great guy, and a brilliant MD. I recommend him wholeheartedly. -Brian Reeves, CPA Los Angeles Unified School District read more

I have been seeing Dr Jordan since 2008. He is hands down the best doctor I have ever seen. After years of 7-8 level pain from complex neuropathic pelvic pain, practically bedridden for years and about to go on disability, he gave me my life back. He is an innovator and a think out of the box doctor. He never gives up and truly cares about his patients. He coordinates with my other doctors and will often call them while I am sitting in his office with him. Do you have to wait in his office to see him - yes - but that is because of the amount of time he spends and dedicates to each patient. read more

Yes, Dr. Jordan does run behind schedule, so bring a book or work or use the time to relax since many of us don't have that time. This happens because he cares and takes the time to ask about your health and other parts of your life, not only because they might be related but because he is genuinely interested. I have severe spinal stenosis and my L3 is toppled slightly over my L4. He has literally saved me from surgery, made great suggestions, tried various alternatives, many of which worked well. Staying healthy is a 2 way process, requiring follow-up by the patient, doing PT, stretching and other exercises regularly, not lifting, etc. etc. Listening and following advice and taking meds when necessary is key. And, I so agree about Miss Ann as I also call her since the patients are Miss X or Mr. Y. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate Dr. Jorday a 15. I feel fortunate to have found him. read more
