    All I will say is get a second opinion! They care more about the money then their patients.

    One of the best medical office visits I've had. Caring listening physician and staff, not rushing or distracted. Highly recommend.

    So many negative reviews. I've been lucky I guess. The process I'm going through personally is…read morefrustrating not the staff trying to figure out the issue(s). I have seen NP Niemi-Olson and DR William Ross (Dr Valdiva briefly). Even though I've still not got all the answers and solutions I'm really grateful for their help. Front staff have always been very kind and I have found their communication very thorough. Yea at times you go here and it's packed, and people seem to be stressed (I put some of that down to the crazy parking situation, we legit got flipped of by an elder the other day), but in all honesty this is front line staff really working hard.

    You need a 0 or a 1/2 star. I was a patient, unfortunately. The Dr. misdiagnosed me with…read moreParkinson's after simply talking with me and watching me walk down the hall about 20 steps. He also checked my familial tremors, previously diagnosed. He prescribed L-dopa. When it became apparent it wasn't working, he kept upping the dosage until I began to experience lightheadedness, hallucinations, dizziness, weakness and fatigue. My familial tremors increased. At one point he suggested CBD. I attended their group therapy sessions which were sales pitches for items and services we might want to buy.   I was not improving while the Dr. sat, arms and legs crossed at every visit. I demanded to see his superior, who tested and said, I never had Parkinson's. It was "something" under the massive Parkinsonism umbrella.   I had surgery in Santa Monica in1975 on the L4/5, S1 discs in my lower back. In 2022, my back was further damaged an the original Dr. at CNS referred me to their back specialist. At first he argued with me, saying I don't need surgery on the disc. I had to demand an Xray. After looking at the Xray, his entire mood changed and he agreed I needed another fusion and laminectomy. He only performed the laminectomy. which he performed and which collapsed two years later, requiring a FUSION and laminectomy on the L/3/4 + L4/5.  I have full insurance coverage, yet 3 years later, I've been. billed $2422.50.  Why? this was completely covered by insurance. No letter. No call. Just appeared on my credit card statement.
