I'm a hairstylist, I put it off as long as I possibly could. I have friends & clients that required surgery & NONE of them have had positive results. His bedside manner is excellent, for how incredibly talented he is. No ego! When ALL the nurses & OR staff can't wait to tell you how incredible your surgery was, or how incredible HE is, listen! (They're the ones who know!) He's the real deal. I've heard other names mentioned in VC as neurosurgeons & quite frankly, the people that have been operated on, they all still have problems. Requiring multiple surgeries!!!! I don't, at all. He's conservative, & told me I will probably need something in the future, however, I haven't yet. My biggest fear about Dr. James M. Herman, is that he's going to retire... from where I'm looking from, that's the only fear that is acceptable, when it comes to my neurosurgeon! I couldn't recommend him more. I have a feeling most of his patients feel the same way.

I'm still waiting for physical therapy, I wasn't given a prescription as of yet, had my surgery about 5 weeks ago, maybe it's too soon for physical therapy? I don't know. My experience with his staff is ok except for this one lady "Jacque", she's not the friendliest, she's been rude and unprofessional, not a pleasant experience with this lady from the beginning unfortunately.

I'm feeling great, I've been able to walk 3 miles a day, I've lost 50 lbs because I'm not in pain & I can move freely! I'm still & always will be very careful with my back. I'm very grateful for Dr Herman who was amazing! Whenever back pain comes out in conversation I tell them my story whether it be at work, dog park or neighbors. It could have had a different outcome there is no guarantee my foot would ever come back but if I didn't have the surgery for sure it'd never come back, at least this way I had a chance and ofcourse everyone's body is different. With Dr Herman's expertise, his patience, his calming demeanor....I can say enough good things about him.

Alisha (I believe is her name) is AMAZING and very efficient at handling documents that you need, we felt very needy when we needed documents filled out for my husband and I job since we were taking a leave for the surgery, she has done everything promptly. my only complaint is the main girl at the check in window who I believe also answers the phone, she is not nice at all, never greets you well either walking in or on the phone, always makes you feel like an inconvenience and once even hung up on my husband and her tone changed immediately once he called back and called her out for hanging up on him. Other then that the care at this location has been great for us! 10/10 on the care you receive

Because I had been in pain for so long, they scheduled me for surgery and within 3 weeks I was pain-free. The office is super busy and the ladies at the front work very hard. They're good at what they do and I'm grateful for them just as I am for Dr. Wagner and Dr. Westra, who were both in the OR during my surgery. The pain was so unbearable I began to believe that death would have been better than living the way I was. Life is beautiful when you're not struggling to live with the agony of constant pain. Thank you Ventura Neurosurgery for saving my life. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Life is beautiful again.

You simply call the office ask them how far behind they are and when is the appropriate time to come in for your appointment so you are not waiting forever. I do this every time and my wait is usually 20 minutes which isn't that bad. I will say if it wasn't for Dr. Richardson I would have never been diagnosed plus he always prescribed a medication that has been a life saver. Yes his test are extensive and can be annoying but he's thorough and he really cared about his patients.

This morning I go in and the front desk staff informs me that they tried to call me yesterday to let me know that the insurance had yet to approve my request. I found it odd that just now they were contacting me about this. I went ahead and called Seaview while I was still there and to my surprise NO REQUEST was put in since my original visit. NO ONE bothered to even call during the month long time frame they had. I was so upset as this is a serious manner, my health is not a joke and all they could tell me was that I could come back on the 18th since they were just now putting in the request. Yo me this is not professional & it could be a real risk to his patients. I've been suffering with so much pain and I was really hoping to just get this figured out.

Communication…read morehas been consistently poor, and there appears to be a lack of coordination and follow-through from staff. We were informed that they are not affiliated with Dignity Health, which has made it difficult for them to access or locate my grandmother's information. Each time I have called, the staff seem unsure and unable to provide clear answers. I am frequently placed on hold, only to be told that someone will return my call. I have made multiple attempts--calling several times and leaving numerous voicemails--to understand the next steps for obtaining my grandmother's neuropsychological evaluation results from December 2025. Each time, I am told that I will get a call back, yet we have not received any follow-up. This ongoing lack of communication and accountability has been incredibly stressful, especially given the importance of these medical results! It has been months without resolution. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this practice with Dr. Mani Nezhad. Patients and their families deserve timely responses, clear communication, and a genuine effort to provide support and unfortunately Link Neuroscience does not provide that.
