The Best 19 highly rated medical facilities near San Luis Obispo, CA (Page 2)

Mia Alexander I am extremely disappointed with the care my daughter received at your facility. She has been sick for over three weeks, briefly improved, and then developed a sore throat again. After waiting 3 hours, the nurse practitioner simply stated that it was “something viral” without offering any real treatment or solution. This determination was made without proper diagnostic testing, despite the fact that I had the same symptoms and required a Z-Pack to recover. While an X-ray was done to check for pneumonia, nothing was prescribed or recommended to address her persistent cough and green mucus. It seems it would be pretty difficult diagnose something as viral just by looking at a patient, and the likelihood of my daughter getting the flu twice within three weeks is highly questionable. Now, we will most likely need to visit the emergency room, something that could have been avoided with proper care at your facility. Additionally, while we were waiting in the car, your staff locked the doors without any notice or explanation. Other patients were left confused, with no signage indicating a temporary closure and no one answering the phones—even though your posted hours state that you are open until 8 PM. In the end, we paid for an awful experience, received no effective treatment, and my daughter still feels just as sick as when we arrived. This level of care is unacceptable.

Marissa Olivares Amazing! I have been to this location a few times with my kiddos. The staff is amazing and the rooms are all spotless. Took my daughter Saturday as a walk in and we were placed in a room quick! all the staff definitely went above and beyond! They did everything in their power to make my daughter feel comfortable while trying to deal with the issue of us being there. Also helping with my son to keep occupied who was just waiting there. I would recommend them over and over again!

Kinsey Angerstein The staff at the Broad Street Cottage Urgent Care were absolutely spectacular. From check-in to check-out I was so impressed. I hope to be healthy enough to not have to come back anytime soon, but if I find myself back inside your doors, Im happy itll be with such a caring and upbeat staff. Highly recommend!

Ronald Sexton Great experience!! I went in for a nagging cough. They worked through the normal vitals and medical history, thorough. The PA prescribed a few items to kick the problem after listening to my lungs. Though also showed me how to use an inhaler!! They were all very friendly AND called me within a hour on the X-ray results - yep, X-ray machine is onsite. Staff was very friendly. Id go back in a heart beat.

Emily C Everyone there was so sweet from the front desk to the back. I saw NP Michelle Silva & her assistant whose name I didn’t catch but I wish I did! They were both extremely kind & helpful, I wish everyone can be like that! Thank you ladies so much. :)

Jsmum There is no better OB/GYN in the county. The poor review here is absolutely false. This doctor will save you from unnecessary surgery and give you all the best in his field and practice. I highly recommend him. He also have a very gentle demeanor and touch. Hes the best!

Heidi Hendrix I made my first appointment today and the receptionist was so helpful and kind. The office is welcoming. My long time friend had Dr. Spaulding with her first child and she was so pleased with the experience. I am looking forward for my 2nd pregnancy with him and his staff.

Alexandria Strachan I am so blessed to have had this doctor! This was my going to be my 5th c section and my first time as a patient with Dr. Spalding. I was completely worried and scared about the whole delivery. It ended up being the best delivery and recovery I ever had, compared to all my deliveries! I highly recommend them. The bed side manner and the transparency of the operation was amazing. If you get to have them deliver your baby then you are in great hands!

Cindee Yandow Dr Spalding and his midwives have been amazing. I have been going to his office since 2004. He delivered my first, did my ectopic surgery, delivered my second, and will be delivering my third this July. I highly recommend his office.

Bethany Marsh ALL staff at the Atascadero and SLO locations are kind and caring! So happy I chose Advanced OB and Spalding to help and walk me through my first pregnancy!

Yolanda Robles I took my dad to ER in middle of night and our experience was overall great. He had to stay overnight and all of our nurses were compassionate and took good care of my dad. The docs, from the hospitalists to the urologist were also kind and informative and made sure our questions were being answered. The only feedback I have is to please provide more comfortable chairs for the person staying with patient in room throughout the day. The folding chairs are so uncomfortable and staff had a difficult time finding a chair from the moment he was assigned a room. Other than that the medical care was top notch. Thank you for taking such good care of dad.

Jacqueline Arthur All of the staff are so sweet and helpful. The nurses are all so very kind, gentle, and truly caring! Unfortunately I have surgery often and always feel very well cared for at Marian Hospital. Thank you all for the quality of care you give! ❤️

vanessa Ramos I went in for severe chest pain. My husband and I were on vacation and had no idea where the nearest ER was. Location in Pismo was great. The service we received was second to none. Thank you for all your assistance.

Shannon Power I had a very pleasant experience. The nurses were fantastic and so kind and compassionate. Thank you for always doing an amazing job. Dr. fields is also an amazing doctor. Thank you again

Matt Lemmon The Emergency Room staff are hostile, abusive, and obnoxious. Josh the Triage Nurse is a ruthless bully who carries on his face a gruesome scowl to match his rotten attitude. This is the most hypocritical experience I’ve had in my life. Dignity? Respect? Kindness? Humanity? What shameless hypocrisy and False Advertising. One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. I will leave this review in place until I receive a formal apology from the Board of Directors. The entire Dignity Health Organization should be ashamed of itself for allowing this gross abuse and hypocrisy to continue.

SloMo Bay 2 days before New Years Eve, my 79 year old mother in law fell and broke her hip. The nearest Emergency Room was at French Hospital. I’ve never been to this Facility and had no idea what to expect. Upon entry we were met by a friendly and helpful staff. They put our family at ease and took good care of her. The following day she had surgery (pins inserted). The surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurse all spent time with her to put her at ease. Needless to say, the surgery went well and we were able to take her home the following day. I am a recently retired Southern California law enforcement officer who has spent more time in emergency rooms than I care to remember. I’ve seen the very best of service and the less than ideal. Based on that reference point I give French Hospital an unequivocal 5-stars. From patient care, to bedside manner, to family communication, this place was fantastic.

Celeste I had an asthma attack at about 2am that lasted 4 showers and a brown bag and finally decided to go to the ER . 9/19/19 at about 4:50 am , I walked in and couldnt breathe , let alone say my last name or birthday, I was immediately taken to a back room where I was given a breathing treatment and my vitals taken . The staff for that time period was beyond amazing Ive been to some pretty bad ERs and this experience was by far the best , they checked on me frequently gave me 2 treatments and also gave me a fast acting inhaler ri use in the mean time. Thank you so much to the Respiratory Team and the Fast moving ER staff.

J D Mostly good, except for catheters cutting my urethra to bleed painfully. Had to stop the bladder drainage.

Kevin Greenwood Awesome care. Great staff. Highly recommend.

Amy Peters A great combination of personal and professional care.

Linda McClure This doctor is sincerely wanted the best doctors Ive ever been to.she has a great personality shes very kind she listens to you and shell actually get on your butt if you dont do what youre supposed to do. I would not want any other doctor then Dr Cherry.

Michael Braun I think Deborah Cherry is the most professional doctor I have dealt with. She is very thorough and will , most importantly, listen to what you have to say and actually discuss the issues that you are having. I would also recommend that you not look up "symptoms" on the internet.

Kevin Greenwood Awesome care. Great staff. Highly recommend.

Vivian Borden Surgery performed successfully on a tumor on the thoracic spine. Dr. Kissel is professional, very friendly, and very well respected. Hes the best. Highly recommend.

Lynne Harrington I was diagnosed with a tumor inside my spinal canal pushing on my spinal cord. I got in touch with Dr. Kissel for a second opinion (the first opinion involved a fusion). Dr. Kissel did not feel a fusion was necessary. He did a laminectomy and excised the tumor. I had zero complications. Dr. Kissel explained everything very thoroughly to myself and my husband. He answered all questions honestly. The surgery was very successful and the pain management I received in the hospital was well planned. He visited me multiple times in the hospital and had several follow up calls post surgery. He approved all of the time off work that I needed as well as the physical therapy. For being such a serious and scary medical issue, Dr. Kissel made it as smooth as possible. I am so appreciative of his expertise and care.

Erin Johnson Dr. Kissel and his staff are amazing! I had a herniated disc and was having horrible nerve pain for months. He really took his time to explain everything that was wrong and what he would do to correct it. I never felt rushed out of the office like I have with other doctors in the past. He was very kind and showed he really cared. His staff was very kind as well. I didnt have to wait long to have my surgery and it went well. I have zero nerve pain and can finally walk and stand without that horrible pain. I am so grateful for that! If you need back surgery, I highly recommend him.

Kendelyn L I’d give him negative stars if I could. My life and my mom’s life are completely different after she went under his knife. She had a benign brain tumor removed over a year ago. He said she’d be home about 3-4 days after surgery, and should be back to normal activities like driving in 3-4 weeks. Instead, she was in the hospital for a month, many days in the ICU, and had to have multiple other procedures and surgeries. She was so uncomfortable and disoriented that they kept her in restraints for most of her stay. After the hospital, she went to rehab for a few weeks, followed by months of home health. She’s still not nearly the same person. It’s been the biggest nightmare we’ve ever been through; going from an independent woman, to someone who can’t even remember basic facts about her life and environment, let alone manage her basic bodily needs. I quit my job in order to care for her 24/7 as required after rehab. Words can’t express how much anger I feel towards the whole experience. Both of us lost our independence and still don’t know if/when we’ll ever get it back. I know the nature of cutting into someone’s brain is inherently risky, but we had no idea it could have gone this terribly. Please think twice before going to Dr. Kissel. There are many other doctors, hospitals, and treatment plans that will hopefully give you much better results. I pray your experience goes much better than ours. Life is too precious to spend it this way. We opened up an investigation with the Medical Board of California. I encourage you to do the same if you feel like you’ve ever been wronged by any medical professional and/or facility. God bless.

Dreamzville I usually love this place, the staff is efficient and it’s pleasant. Today, someone had some kind of overly rough borderline rap music on. Most the folks visiting here are elderly. Read the room, find something mellow. Thanks!

Dave Kuykendall Signed in 40 minutes ago, still have not talked to anyone or received any service. Im the only one in the waiting room.

Brett Weathersbee Typical San Luis Obispo shopping center with more trees and shrubbery than parking spaces. Be sure and walk or bike here. Anything larger than a Mini is not going to fit in the tiny parking spaces. Typical and popular establishments are here such as a grocery store and lots of different fast food.

Christopher Frasher Always bz but theyre always friendly.

Liz Lacoco The ladies that helped me out at this Lab were very professional, friendly, and comforting. I had a Cuesta Phlebotomy Student perform my draw and she did great and everything was smooth sailing. I went around 4pm on a Monday, and although there were about 3 patients ahead of me, the wait time was less than 15 minutes and the waiting room was pleasant with a coffee/water bar that offered various complimentary treats and juices. Great experience, will continue using this Lab as long as I am in the area.

Emily Dr. Ryan Kennard does a great job with audiological assessments and hearing aid fitting.

Emily Dr. Ryan Kennard does a great job with audiological assessments and hearing aid fitting.

Louise Kohler Doctor Ramberg performed a very complicated surgery on my cervical spine in 2001. He had to remove hardware (titanium plate and screws) from a prior cervical (failed) fusion and relocate to an alternate position with a fresh plate and screws. (My spine had fractured from C-3 through C-7 in 1988). If I could give him a thousand stars, I would!!! Without his phenomenal skill, I doubt that I would be alive to write this review.

Joseph K. Dr. Donald Ramberg and his entire staff are wonderful. I had surgery in June, 2019, at Sierra Vista Hospital here in San Luis Obispo. Dr. Ramberg, his staff at the office and everyone at Sierra Vista were caring, patient and very responsive to any of my questions and inquiries. This was the first time I have been in a hospital for surgery. I cannot over emphasize the excellent care I received from Dr. Ramberg and his staff. Thank You One And All!!

Laura Turney Dr Ramberg has been my doctor for many years and has done all 5 of my surgeries on my back and neck. Hes a wonderful doctor with a good bedside manner. He gets right to the point and doesnt leave you in pain. He sends you to the right people for what needs to be done. Surgery is the last step, if it can be avoided hell make sure to take evrry step to help get you back on your feet. If it wasnt for Dr Ramberg, Id be in a wheelchair unable to walk .Thank you Dr Ramberg.

Adam Macari Anything less than five star review for this person then you just had a bad day or something because Dr. Ramberg is by far the best neurosurgeon there is in California. In my opinion. Not only did he completely fix and revise a pre-existing fusion. He did a double fusion without half the pain I had with the prior surgery. Instantly out of surgery. My legs already Had zero pain and an exorbitant amount of strength back to them. All the weakness was gone and 90% of my pre-existing pain was immediately extinguished. his bedside manner is next to none. He is the nicest most informative neurosurgeon. I’ve ever dealt with and I’ve dealt with quite a few seeing how this is my fourth back surgery. I truly believe that he finally did what it needed to be free of pain and limitations. I would recommend him 1000% to anybody who has a complicated issue with their spine or neck. He was recommended By other highly respected doctors and it’s for a reason because he is damn good at what he does

Raven Cuccia I want to say that I am 29 years old and just had surgery on Wednesday the 26th of june , my pain is gone ,yes I am sore and I appreciate the work dr. Ramberg did. He was straight to the point , just my personal opinion he doesnt have bad bedside manners by any means and I would reccomend him.

Dustin Anderson The Noor Clinic is amazing! The staff were very welcoming, and pretty funny too! Everyone seemed to be happy to be working at the clinic. The wait time was short. Dr. Elizabeth Cartozian was amazing! She spent more time with me in 1 visit, than the last 5 visits at my previous Primary Care Doctor. She listened, made suggestions, and didnt make me feel stupid that I was behind on my health while trying to better myself. The diabetes Doctor was super cool, and he had a lot of info for me. So, THANK YOU to everyone at Noor for helping me out when I didnt have any other options. I had lost my insurance and was waiting for the new insurance to become active. They still took me in as a patient until my new insurance kicked in. They were very helpful in getting me an appointment as soon as possible. I hope one day I will be able to give back to this wonderful clinic that helped me in a time of need!

Karina Saldivar This clinic is changing lives for the better, and doing so purely funded through the generosity of the community who provides donations, and a few grants here and there. What this clinic offers is medical, dental, and vision care to anyone uninsured or who doesn’t qualify for insurance. The staff and volunteers are fantastic. Nice people who actually care.

Greg Webster I was referred to to Noor by French Hospital because, I couldnt afford a colonoscopy. The doctor there told me I didnt need one (I was 47). I said, that the hospital said I did because, there was an obstruction in my bowel. They told I would be put on a list, and have never received a call from them after several calls. As a result I almost died at the beginning of the summer. French Hospital (Dignity Health) stepped in a month ago, and funded a colectomy, otherwise I wouldnt be here. I think the Noor Clinic is a horrible medical facility, and they dont really care about people who are in need.

Char Sheridan NOOR medical clinic has become very pathetic and sad. Certainly not what it used to be or advertised. Too much discrimination, prejudice and uncaring under the new CEO, David Parro. This is Not a Clinic you would want to give a Grant or Donate $ to! Unless you want to continue to support the above while this incompetent CEO gets paid to stay home and run off the last of the patient caring supportive competent staff.

Dee L So glad I came across this opportunity in SLO, All the people that work here are very helpful and friendly and its a Godsend for those trying to keep up with their health care and unable to afford the traditional method. I would highly recommend anyone needing assistance with health concerns calling to make an appointment. Thank you Dr Nooristani and his colleagues for the tremendous opportunity in this challenging world with typically no alternatives to treatment except the emergency room. Also anyone wishing to volunteer, especially health care workers please call to see if they need extra hands on and pay it forward to help those in need.

Gregory Laubsch Very challenging to work with. 1. Making an appointment nearly impossible, getting someone on the phone is the first step, takes about an hour after being on hold and hung up on. 2. Paying a bill, same situation, 1 hour to get someone on the phone, then system not working call back. Doctor seems knowledgeable and good but no phone calls allowed to the office, (seriously) a phone center takes the calls and makes the appointments. No video appointments, no questions over a portal. Basically very hard to work with in general.

Jennifer Frame I really like Dr Silvers personality but this visit he seemed rushed. I had another issue aside from my sinus infection that needed tending to. He asked me to make another appointment in five days to get that taken care of. It’s causing me pain and that seemed a little off to me. Wont keep me from going back but I would like all of the complaints handled at one appointment. No one likes multiple doctors visits, or multiple copays.

Colton Rice Went in for my orientation and let the dr know I had a few concerns I’d like to look into, his response to that was “I’d be more concerned with maybe getting a gym membership than any of that other stuff, id be surprised if you make it to 60 years old” I brush this off and let him know my ears have been itching to witch he responds without ever looking at me “ it’s allergy’s just take some allergy pills” , like others have said he just makes snap judgments without ever actually looking into the issue. I’m aware I’m over weight but I ain’t 400 pounds and what an awful way to talk to someone. This guy genuinely doesn’t care about people and is just here to collect money.

David Zamora They told me to go in 15 minutes before my appointment and I did but when I got there I was standing there for almost 10 minutes before anyone even helped me out. Then when it was time to see Dr. Silver he probably only saw me for 5 minutes or even less. He barely let me get a word out, it felt like he was trying to rush me out of there. I had better experiences at med-stop because they actually sat down a heard me out. I know the doctor’s office gets busy but if the doctors at Med-Stop can hear me out my primary physician should be able to as well. They even had me get COVID tested before seeing them. Even though I’m fully Vaccinated. I understand that COVID is serious and so I was fine getting a test but what I am not fine with is trying to make an appointment with my primary physician and not being able to until I got tested. Then getting the results back, calling them back to make an appointment, bringing my results as instructed, and then having them not ask or look for them. It felt like I could have seen Dr.Silver sooner instead of wasting that time getting tested. Even the doctors at Med-Stop we’re confused that I had to get tested before seeing Dr. Silver. One of them even said “so doctors aren’t seeing sick people anymore?” I’ve had this issue for over a month now. I been to Med-stop, the ER, back to Med-stop( to get help and the test), and then my primary doctor and out of each experience the worst one I had was with my primary doctor. Which shouldn’t be the case. I’m am very great full for the work that all the healthcare workers do, and I have so much respect for them but today I didn’t feel that same respect reciprocated back to me in a time that I needed help.

Hans Sommer Dr. Silver is no - nonsense and takes a holistic approach and not just symptom treatment. He has the experience to spot conditions and has made himself available in short notice. The office staff and nursing team are also very efficient and friendly. Hes a good primary Dr. and will have your best interests to heart.

Felicia Garcia Dr Wogu was awesome and is a very compassionate doctor. He was very kind to me and my husband, when my husband had to have emergency surgery on his back. Dr Wogu was very thorough in explaining what my husband needed done. I am glad that he was the doctor who came into the hospital that night to see my husband. I truly believe that God was in charge of the surgery and Dr Wogu did an awesome job with Gods help.

CUSTOMKINGZ PERFORMANCE I want to thank Dr. Wogu who took really good care of me together with the medical staff at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center. I had a brain bleeding and was on holiday in the US. Thanks to Dr Wogu I was able to recover and come back home to germany safe. Thank you!

Jo Whipp A doctor who tells a patient that they are not worthy to be alive should be unable to practice. He assumed he knew what happened leading up to the accident. He assumed the worst. Even if he had been right (he was not), telling someone that they dont deserve to be alive is criminal. This does not include the lack of proper care received for a severe head trauma.

Alrik I needed Neck Surgery and Dr. Would went in there and fixed it. Very nice, he kept on checking on me after Surgery to see how I felt. One of the nurses at Sierra Vista was a b>&%$! She wanted me to eat solids right away, Dr. Would looked at her and said "Are u trying to kill my patients " heck yeah well said because that Nurse removed herself from my care, thanks to Dr. Would. I would definitely recommend him 100% he listens to ur needs. Thank u Dr. Wogu

Jim Baldyga Very rude and condensending receptionist. Hung up on me for asking a question about getting a referral and disagreeing with her answer. You could be more understanding and humble, you answer a doctors phone for a living.

Marcela Toledo I’m trying to get some information to change Otorrino’s but the recepcionista is so rude and hang up on me!!! Not even let me be a patient to act carelessly, as if it was her office!!! Get workers that respect people!!!

Saskia Dr. Clark did a septoplasty and turbinate surgery on me a week ago. In my initial consultation with her she really listened to my concerns and explained in detail the procedure and what to expect. I highly recommend her. She has very impressive credentials and is extremely professional! I am so happy with the results!

Tom Kolby She is the top of class doctor with a great staff.

Suzanne Abrams This was such a great experience as far as Dr. Appts. go. Dr. Clark and her entire staff are excellent and most competent! I left feeling like things might actually start to get better and I haven’t felt that way in a long time. Thank you!!!!!

Pop Tart Dr Eibschutz is a very competent, caring physician who listens and takes his time with you, answering all questions. He is very thorough in his examinations and is very knowledgeable.

Jennifer Hope Eibschutz is one of the best specialists Ive ever seen in my decades long career as a patient with multiple autoimmune diseases. He talks to your other doctors even if they arent local so you can get the best care for you. Hes also right across the street from a hospital which is comforting when being treated with certain medications. He has an excellent bedside manner as well like a best friend you havent seen in years. A very knowledgeable best friend. Hes also very aware that even if certain blood work comes back negative, that doesnt mean you cant have that particular illness. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Sue King I have been a patient of Dr. Eibshutz for several years and he has been excellent ! He has always addressed any issues I have had with my LUPUS/SLE ! I feel blessed to have him as my Rheumatologist after seeing many over the past 27 years ! I believe after you are diagnosed with LUPUS you tend to blame all medical problems on this ! He has assured me at different times that a particular medical issue was not LUPUS related ! Always having blood tests that back up his diagnosis ! I would highly recommend Dr. Eibshutz to anyone suffering from LUPUS and other medical issues needing a Rheumatologist⭐️

Stan Silva Hes a good doctor but his staff is lacking. Playing phone tag and leaving messages. I was told that I couldnt have my lupus medication renewed until I see him next month. Ive been taking that medication for years and its kept me out of the hospital. I know that if I dont take it my life becomes difficult quickly. I requested they ask him to renew it before my appointment and I was dismissed and told that would be illegal. That makes no sense since it isnt a controlled drug and I dont think he would want me to stop taking it. Was told to go ask another doctor for a Rx. I just wish they would have asked him thats all I wanted. I hope Ill be ok until I see him. I look forward to my appointment with him.

Iris K Having an osteoporosis diagnosis for almost 7 years no doctor ever bothered to check my parathyroid levels but Dr. Eibshcutz. He referred me to Stanford to an excellent surgeon who successfully removed what was necessary. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Eibschutz and looking forward to improving even more under his great care. Yes, it took several months to get in but I was persistent. I believe the office has now resolved this issue as it is much easier to communicate now.

R. Xjs All of the doctors here are the best in the county. Be honest and trust them and the results will show. Pain controlled my life for 13 yrs. Although I am still in pain, it has drastically decreased and now my quality of life has seemingly gotten better. Good luck

Sharron Kepler Just had my first appointment with Dr. Kuang MD. He was very fast and to the point and asks what you want/need. He didnt examine me but he also had my records and is ordering an MRI on my cervical spine which is something I was trying to get Lags to do for years and years. He seemed like he cared what I wanted as a pt. and what actually worked for me. He is the only pain doctor that didnt push injections on me like a used car sales man. He said it was my choice! I am so astonished and so happy to hear a doctor finally say it is MY choice as a pt. I know it is only my first appointment by hopefully things will continue to go good. If not I guess Ill be back on here. Also the office staff was very nice and seem to go out of there way to help you. Especially Courtney and Ovi (I think is His name, sorry if it isnt), he went out of his way to rush my insurance authorization through and she went out of her way to tell me how or what to do to get m doctors referral in. In a world of offices not giving a *Bleep* they seem like they are nice and human and treat you with respect.

Kim Barrett Dr. Kuang was the first doctor to order an MRI to find out why I was in so much pain with my back. He took care of me until referral to a neurosurgeon took place and managed my pain for me carefully and appropriately. No other doctor wanted to deal with my pain, mar determine the source of my pain. His office staff are professional and kind. Thank you!

Daniel Diaz I have seen Dr. Kuang 4 times now. He is a very efficient Dr. I find him pleasant to work with, and very sharp. The office is lovely and clean with an extemely hard working and kind staff. They are very sincere, and well chosen for their positions. I highly recommend Dr. Kuang and his staff for anyone who is seriously committed to helping themselves. A very grateful patient. Paige Diaz

jim gausling Probably the most impersonal doctor I could imagine. I arrived to my first appt at 9:15 for a 9:45 appt. At 12:15 they came in and said the Dr left and I would have to reschedule. I thought I would give him a second chance, and his Atascadero office was so cold, they were advising people to wait in the hallway. Unfortunately 90 minutes waiting in a freezing waiting room increased my pain level several levels and it was also increasing the pain caused by increased spasms. He never took his mask off, and I couldnt understand half of what he was saying. He didnt examine me??? We had a consult from the opposite side of the room from each other, with zero examination. He is telling me he wants to inject into my spinal cord, but DIDNT EXAMINE ME!! Yes I was frustrated, but seems counterproductive for a pain doctor to increase pain levels at each appointment.

Sheree Wilson I have been seeing Dr Levitan since 2009. I love his mannerism, his true concern and care. Highly recommend him for your pain management needs. Hes just an awesome Dr

Liz Young I have seen Dr Levitan for 25 years. Hes fantastic, kind & compassionate. He truly cares about his patients, is a great listener. He absolutely understands how to care for a pain patient. My ONLY concern is the lack of interest his SLO office manager seems to take in his patients. He deserves so much better. Youre the best Doc!

Orris Cowgill I visited Dr. Levitan with an MRI and an X-Ray, he did not look at either, he stood behind me asked me to move left then right then bend forward. He then prescribed 2 lumbar facet injections and a radio frequency ablation. I do not know why he would not look at my MRI before prescribing a procedure. I ask Dr. Levitan to look at he MRI before proceeding, which he indicated he would and then call me. A couple of weeks went by and I received a call from his office for scheduling for the injections. He never looked at the MRI or called me. He billed my insurance $375.00 for this 10 minute visit. I felt as though I was in an assembly line as opposed to visiting a doctor. I have found another doctor.

Christine Mathiesen I saw Dr. Levitan for about 5 years . He was my first doctor for my back pain. He tried to help me and I did the epidural injections. If I wouldve known it can cause Adhesive Arachnoiditis, I would have stopped. Back then and still, most doctors dont realize the repercussions of the injections. Great physician and office

Jessica Hayes I have been a patient of Dr. Levitans for 4 years. He is, by far, the best doctor I have ever seen for my pain management. He always takes the time to sit down and chat with my during my exams. He is a consumate professional. He is not like some pain doctors that will give you whatever you ask for. He assess your condition at every visit to make sure you are not taking more medication than you need to be. If you are looking for a kind, caring, professional pain management doctor Dr. Levitan is it.

Patrick Ford In my opinion this Physician is outstanding. Hes low key and mild mannered. I worked in allied health care for 42 years and hospitals for 9. After assessing my condition he developed a plan of care that succinctly addressed All of the issues associated with my condition. After considering my plan of care, I realized that Dr. Hori had covered all the bases. I have the greatest confidence in this mans ability. Patrick Ford

David Cantero Nobody with knowledge to help

Angela Henderson Nice guy

Tom Walsh Dr. Hori has a very low key demeanor, but is quite thoughtful and knowledgeable. He has answered every question Ive asked thoroughly. He provided good feedback and is up to date with solutions that can meet your specific situation. I recommend Dr. Hori

CHRIS RESENDEZ I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews, this Dr was professional, gentle and informative. Very pleased with the service I was given by both his staff and himself.

iiiloki Today my wife called to make an appointment at the Edna Valley SLO office and was told she was dropped as a patient. We have both been patients there for many years (albeit with a rotating staff and locations). Was not given a reason, and when she pressed, the office staff member hung up on her. Very unprofessional, and when in need of medical care, negligent. I’m not sure if and what type of accountability for their actions might be pursued, but I will be leaving their practice. I would no longer recommend Dignity for health care.

Sarah Figueroa Very dissatisfied with the office staff at the pismo beach location. Each and every visit I asked if I had a co-pay and was assured I didnt, well, of course that was not the case. I have no problem at all paying what is due for my visits, but instead of sending me a bill or calling me to inform me if the situation they sent my account to collections! For $20 dollars! I will never return to this establishment, its really a shame, the doctor was excellent. Look out for the office staff here, they do not care about the patients.

Ferdinand Kho Dr Van Houten is one of the nicest doctor I’ve met. Hope he sticks around. Jessica from the front desk is friendly and nice, she remembered me from few years back.

Cindy Smith I went in to refill my prescription for Lisonopril and was seen by Jessica Johnson, PA. She got very angry that I was on .5mg/day Klonopin. When I went to pick up my Lisopril she had also ordered an anti-psychotic "Seraquil", without my permission or knowledge. OMG! What is wrong with this person?

Kristy McKee Made an appointment to meet Dr. Chandrasena. This should have taken fifteen minutes tops. She was unapologetically half an hour late. She met me in one of the treatment rooms, answered no questions and was very pushy about providing an annual check up on the spot. This did not happen and to nones surprise a bill for $229.88 was sent to my insurance company. Not cool.
