My experience with Dr. Kumar's office was extremely disturbing. Several days before Dr. Kumar left…read morefor vacation, I contacted the office multiple times requesting a refill of my pain medication (Norco). Each time, the staff assured me that Dr. Kumar would handle it. He never did. Despite repeated calls and clear communication about the urgency, the prescription was not refilled before he left town. Because of this failure, I was left without essential medication for about 10 days, causing needless pain, stress, and disruption to my daily life. The office staff were consistently difficult to reach, and when I did manage to get through, I felt they showed little compassion or urgency in addressing a very real medical need. I filed a complaint with the California Medical Board regarding this incident, and I have written confirmation that the complaint is currently under review. This experience was unacceptable, and I hope it helps others choose their care providers wisely.

She's always bubbly, full of spirit, super sweet and kind, empathetic, and she gets the job done! All you have to do is give them a call, and if you're fortunate enough for Mary to answer, you'll immediately know what I'm talking about. I'm sure everyone that knows her would vouch, as well. There's been many times I haven't been well, and when she gets on the line, it brightens up my whole day. It's hard to find employees like this these days, so I felt the need to recognize her ...it's well earned and deserved. Thank you Mary for always helping me, and for your sweet, bubbly, caring energy that always brightens my day. The doctors at this medical facility are all very knowledgeable, and show empathy (another rare one to come by). I have been with Ruth Pinter for years as my primary go-to there, she is exceptional. She also goes the extra mile, she looks into different procedures to help with my illness' and is constantly trying to help me combat my disabilities and life altering symptoms. She listens (which is so important to me). She has figured out a couple of my diagnosed illnesses before my UCLA and Mayo Clinic specialists were able to ...she's smart. I highly recommend her. She's also very sweet, and empathetic to my struggles. I wish she could be my primary care giver. Mary and Ruth, you two are the best!

No matter how bad you feel, please give the front office some courtesy. These people are just as stressed as you are. The best money that I've spent has been buying a Starbuck's frappuccino for the front office. As to Dr Sadik, he is an angel. He is compassionte. I don't think that you'll find a better pain dr. He will try to do his best.

I see Dr. Lo at Providence Facey Medical Group, and I can confidently say he is one of the kindest…read moreand most empathetic doctors I've ever met. I could honestly write a novel about how much I appreciate and respect him! Dr. Lo respected my decision to avoid opioid medication and thoughtfully recommended alternative treatments for my back pain. Eventually, the cause of my pain was identified as a birth defect requiring surgery, and his guidance throughout this journey has been invaluable. The entire staff at this office is knowledgeable and supportive. They always respond promptly to MyChart messages or phone calls, and I'm consistently seen on time. On the rare occasions when delays arise due to circumstances beyond their control, they always communicate updates about wait times. I've never felt unwelcome or like a nuisance while at the office--it's truly a warm and professional environment. Dr. Lo now has Ryan, PA, assisting him with patients, and he's a fantastic addition to the team. Like Dr. Lo, Ryan is empathetic, approachable, and equally committed to providing excellent care. I strongly believe in the idea that "you get what you give out to the world", and this office is proof of that. Dr. Lo, Ryan, and the staff exude positive and caring energy because they genuinely care. I'm so grateful for the amazing care I receive here!

Dr Lo and his staff, Gabby, Julia, and the rest of the team are not only professional but actually care about me as a human being.

His concern is genuine as is his teams and from someone who doesn't like doctors this is high praise. Highly recommended Dr Tony Lo

Not so; I went to the Pharmacy 5 times - no prescription. Called in to talk to some one (any one) and got a call back the next day. Prescription is in. Run to Pharmacy - although the script was in, Pharmacy was waiting for a "call back" from the doctor's office. Called yet again and waiting for pain meds. In the meantime, they ran a scam on me. Started billing my insurance $1,400 for a 50-min acupuncture session, although I had paid for the treatment. AVOID THIS PRACTICE IS YOU CAN.

Told me to find another doctor if I'm taking Xanax or any benzos for anxiety. So I take it as needed. Not along with my Percocet which I'm allowed 2 per day. I've been with Synovation Medical Group for 4 years and never had a problem before until I saw Dr. Kim. He was so rude and uncaring. He was only focused on me stopping my benzos that he didn't have the time to read anything else like I had an authorization for trigger point injections. He shocked me from his rudeness that I forgot to mention it. It was in my file. I was supposed to remind him.

Then showing me exercises, even a recipe for an anti-inflammatory tea. He scheduled me for steroid injections tomorrow. Dr. Kim combines Western and Eastern medicine for long lasting relief. I don't take narcotics and get so frustrated with doctors pushing drugs on me. Dr. Kim doesn't do this. He addresses a healthy approach to healing pain and really cares about his patients. Btw, even with all the time he spent with me, I didn't have to wait. His staff doesn't double book.

Dr. Vo was referred to me by my primary care for pain. After completing 20 minutes of paperwork and…read moresome irrelevant questions such as are you married, what level of education do you have etc. etc. I was placed into a room to await Dr. Vo. Ridiculously enough the paper work which I just spent my time to complete with my answers was not even looked at by the doctor as he asked me the same irrelevant questions, what do I do for work, if I am married and what is my education level. He then assumed I was an executive by where I worked. After the doctor asked me the same questions just to type the answers into his laptop, he then has the audacity to ask me "well what can I do for you". I just told him I was there for pain, had he not listened or even attended medical school. He did not even examine me, he only quickly ran his fingers down my leg and thought he was educating me on some sensation diagnosis. Dr. Vo does not do anything other than prescribe pain drugs, no examination of the pain site, doesn't check for bruising or swelling. Complete waste of time as all he seemed to only care about if my copay had been paid. Not recommended and will not return ever again.
