Had this Dr as my pain management Dr following surgery at Hoag. He is very closed minded and unhelpful. I was in a great deal of pain and have been In Pain management for years. I advised him the meds he was insisting I take would have a negative impact. He advised he is an expert pain management Dr with 27 years experience. He may have 27 years experience but if you don’t listen to you patients and follow co workers and have some some compassion your 27 years experience means nothing. Probably one of the worst Dr’s I have w... read more
I was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis in my lumbar spine and my orthopaedist referred me to Dr. Rafizad's practice. I was a bit skeptical as to the benefit of the recommended epidural injection as my sciatica was unbelievably painful and ever-present, preventing me from doing much of anything. I felt too young to be dealing with this level of pain and inactivity. I met with Dr. Rafizad at his office and he listened to me very carefully, asked me targeted questions and laid out a plan for treatment for me. He was able t... read more
Worst bedside manner I have ever encountered in a physician. Not only do I work in the healthcare industry and deal with providers everyday but since my back surgery I have seen a lot. There is not enough characters for me to explain the whole story other then he called me a lier after his front office staff argued with me over a $30 copay. I let him know what transpired and he stated that didnt happen and I asked him if he thought I was lying and he stated yes. worst bed side manner ever.
He didn't listen to me, seemed disinterested and when he put me in a semi sleep state for an injection this is what happened. Now I realize these injections don't work for everyone but the anasthesia knocked me out. When I woke up he instructed me to walk across the room and it hurt just as badly as before. There was absolutely not one tiny bit of improvement. Well, then the doctor started arguing with me, saying that when I was having the procedure I told him I felt much better. I was outcol
Business response:
Thank you Polly G for taking the time for this review but your initials did not match any of our patients. Nevertheless, I would like to point out the following: No patients would get any sedation at our practice without prior written consent. Our protocols require all patients to be transferred from the stretcher to a wheelchair (irregardless of sedation) when they are ready for discharge (no walking across the hall). Best regards.
Dr Rafizad is a very smart, caring doctor who has extraordinary knowledge about choosing the right medicines. He initially treated me after revision knee replacement when I couldn't take common pain medicine. He then cared for me through the months of knee surgery healing. Then he tackled a four-year-old orthopedic and neurology pain issue and helped me to the path of physical therapy and pain medicine. I would never accept pain medicine from any doctor without first consulting withDr Rafizad.
If you leave a message, either on their message machine or with a member of the office staff, good luck on getting your call returned. I spoke to 5 different people who all told me they would return my call with an answer to my question and not one of them called me back. The office is disorganized. While waiting for my appointment, they called a male name that was similar to my last name. The girl taking my vitals was difficult to understand due to a heavy accent and was very curt with me.
