When I…read morecalled to schedule my appointment for shoulder surgery consultation they told me my appt was at 10:30 and to come in at 10. I got there even earlier at 9:50 and checked in. I drove over an hour to get here. They gave me an iPad to update my info and to sign forms. While I was finishing up at 10:20, they told me they have to reschedule my appt that I should've been there at 9:30 to fill out forms. I told them, no when I scheduled the appt I was told to come in at 10am and my appt would be at 10:30. The front desk staff didn't care and tried to argue with me about it. This is very frustrating and angers me because I was very adamant on the phone when I scheduled that I can't come in before 10am because I'm disabled and have a lot of health issues and live far away so there was no way I'd be able to get there before then. Me and the lady on the phone literally had a whole conversation about it! The front desk staff didn't care. They took zero responsibility for their mistakes. Which sucks for them because they would've made a lot of money doing my shoulder surgery. I will be taking my business elsewhere! I can't express enough, do not go there! After my dealings with them today I am seriously considering finding a lawyer for medical malpractice because of how much they screwed up my ankle I had surgery on with their Santa Maria office previously. I now have CRPS in my ankle and still not able to walk on it almost two years later because the PA didn't believe my X-rays or listen to how much pain I was in. I tore 6 ligaments and separated my leg bones. I shouldn't have been walking and should've had surgery right away! But instead they sent me to physical therapy for 16 weeks which was pure torture. The physical therapy literally had to go to them to tell them they need to order an mri because this isn't ethical. Right after MRI they realized their screw up and I had surgery right away. But because they screwed up and waited so long I now have nerve damage and CRPS in my ankle and am in constant pain 24/7. So please whatever you do, do not go here! They are so horrible. They don't care about patients at all!

Not exactly what I term very "Professional." It's like their plate is overly full. I'm in hopes something will be done to raise their standards back to what it previously was!! It's needed!

Dr. Kuang is a meek sad little manchild that hides behind his staff that do the dirty work and clean up his messes. I was a patient for 4 years and never had consistent care because they cycled me through a different NP every couple of months. And every new NP had a different plan for me. I was finally pressured into injections and reluctantly agreed because if I didn't, they would no longer give me my medication. Which honestly , was the one thing that worked for me as long as I didn't take it daily. They changed my medication and then drug tested me and saw my old medication on my drug test so they marked me as abusing my meds and threatened to cancel me as a patient. Another drug test showed nothing in my system because again, I wasn't trying to be hooked on it so I didn't take it daily so they accused me of abusing my medication .They never respond when you leave several messages and treat you like a drug seeker or addict from day one. No matter what your situation is. They are not healthcare workers and doctors. They have no empathy or care for the patients they are supposed to be helping. They redefined their job to keep getting more money by bringing in more patients and then removing the ones that won't follow their rules and keeping the ones that agree to everything. They don't want you to informed. They want you to be compliant. I was talked into a second round of injections and this time, I couldn't walk directly after. They wheeled me out of the office so fast after anesthesia and then refused to answer my calls and questions until my follow up appointment 2 weeks later. I still had shooting pain down my legs and was in more pain than when I originally went in. When I finally had my appointment, it wasn't even with the doctor. It was with the nasty, rude, pathetic NP, Erika, that knew nothing about me or my case. She got on the call and immediately started grilling me until she got a negative reaction so she could have an excuse to drop me as a patient . She refused to refill my medication or let me speak with my doctor until I came to do a drug test within 2 hours which, I could not....I have a full time job working with special needs kids that I cannot just leave. So she hung up on me. And dropped me as a patient. I had to go to the office on my day off to find out that they would no longer see me as a patient and that they could call the police if they had to. WILD. There are so many additional things that I personally dealt with, but please, take a few minutes and read through other patients reviews. They are all accurate. We have all been treated like shit for being in pain. And unfortunately, taking any pain doctor to court will just result in being called a drug seeker and losing our money. And the drs. all know this. so they continue to treat people like crap becausej they can. If you feel like you wanna call a lawyer, do it!
