Reza Ghorbani, MD

"This person failed to diagnose a tumor in my cervical spinal column as well as scoliosis, despite numerous MRIs, catscans and xrays. He pushed shot after shot along with multiple opiods, benzodiazipines, and muscle relaxants, none of which corrected my spinal problems. After years of this non-treatment, I finally underwent two spinal fusion as well as surgery to remove the tumor. This person should not be treating anyone for anything. He needs to be under investigation. This travesty happen to me in the early 200s, and he's still around? Outrageous!"

"Dr. Ghorbani was recommended by my family Dr. who stated he was very highly regarded in the medical community. My experience has all been positive. I see the Dr. every visit. My visits are as long as they need to be. If all is going well I don't need more time than a brief check in and if I have concerns we spend as much time discussing as needed. I have never felt I was being charged for unnecessary office visits, diagnostic procedures or treatments. If you are just looking for medication, this is not the practice for you. If you want comprehensive treatment you have to be prepared to make the commitment to your care. Chronic Pain is a complex diagnosis."

"Dr. Ghorbani is very easy to talk with, he explains things very well, listens and gives you a chance to talk or ask questions. I am very fortunate to have been under his care. The shots in my back that were done by him has worked remarkedly well. I had been given these shots by another Dr. several times without success, so I am very grateful. Love the staff!!"

"OMG!!! I am a new patient to this practice and I am very satisfied with Dr. Ghorbani. On my first visit with him he listened to me and my concerns as well as my complaints. After that he recommended another pain med and pain patches. These two meds were never offered to me.. They both work wonders along with my regular meds. Thank you Dr. Ghorbani"

"I found out from another doctor that I have a mass in my back and a cyst. Dr ghorbani knew this since September after I had an mri and cat scan he never mentioned it to me , he was so focused on me getting a spine stimulator. So if you are patient have him explain everything if you get an mri or cat scan"

"Dr Ghorbani is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, professional & goes out of his way to help in any way he can! In addition, of the many physicians' offices that I have to frequent ... Dr Ghorbani's staff is by far the most responsive, caring, professional & accommodating!! I highly recommend him & his office ... and, I am extremely grateful to have found them & to be a patient of theirs!!!"

"My experience was a mixed bag. While Dr. Ghorbani himself is quite competent and approachable, his administrative staff is intolerable. A live person NEVER answers the phone. Their outgoing message instructs you not to leave multiple messages. But my most recent experiences reveal, that if you don't leave multiple messages you will NEVER receive a return call. Very frustrating!"

"You'll make an appointment to see him, but be warned you'll never have an office visit with him personally. If that matters to you, then don't go here. Now, depending on how ethical you are. The next part of the review will either bother you or not. 1. Mandatory blood work done before every procedure. When I asked why, first answer I got was to measure the medicine I'm taking he prescribed. When I informed her I don't take anything from this office. So I'm still not clear as to why it's being done? 2. Follow-Up Visits: They will tell you "it's the policy of your insurance to have a follow up visit after every procedure" That's a lie too. I contacted my insurance and requested what was mandatory. It wasn't this. If you're getting steroid injections, they are best when given back to back weekly with a total of 4 before you'll get results. But this office will give you one, schedule a follow up the next week then schedule the next two weeks later. I suspect this is buying time allowing surgeries for others Is my guess? I have no idea? 3. MRI- They told me they couldn't do a steroid injection until a recent MRI was done. Guess who requested this? According to them, my insurance. By now, you guessed it! Insurance company put in writing that they don't have mandatory requirements or testing when it comes to these procedures. Excessive billing again! You guessed it, I had to go in for one of those mystery followup visits to go over my test results that did not change from the last MRI I had the year before. To me it was just a waste of billing. Called today to get my injection because I was told I could. She said, you'll have to come in for an office visit for the steroid injection on 2/9. Lol we are over 2/9 and into April. I told her, it didn't work which is why I didn't want that injection anyway. But the PA insisted. Maybe I care too much about billing and unnecessary charges? Even if I'm not paying directly for them, I still care because that cost trickles down. I miss the days where you meet and visit your doctor. I get that he is busy, but it's so hands off. I like doctors to remember me between visits, and that won't happen. As for my pain, it was reduced. So if you get past the office antics, no doctor visits in person then you'll be fine."
