ISRAEL P. CHAMBI, MD REVIEWS

Dr Chambi and his Office have been so refreshing to work with. My back injury goes back 8 years and because it was being treated through workers compensation I can tell you it has been not been a smooth or simple process. I have had confusing, frustrating, and heart wrenching experiences with seeking treatment and answers. Dr Chambi and his team took the time to hear my story. This included the roller coaster of the past 8 years. Dr Chambi and Israel, the main office admin, are very knowledgeable of the workers compensation process in California and their treatment reflected that. It was very clear to me what we were doing and why it was done in a particular manner. I left every appointment confident and encouraged by Dr Chambi and Israel. I’m currently recovering from a lumbar discectomy that Dr Chambi performed and I can thankful say that it has changed my life. I am grateful to have Dr Chambi and his team looking after me.

My father was a patient of Dr. Israel Chambi 15 years ago. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Chambi and his excellent staff. Dr. Chambi treats his patients with respect and kindness, he is very compassionate and explains everything very well to his patients and treats his patients like family. He and his staff make you feel welcome. Dr. Chambi likes to get to know his patients. One of the best Doctors we have ever met.

Dr. Chambi performed L2/L3 back surgery. Everything went well. Inserted a spacer. Minimal pain. He is a wonderful surgeon.

JASON A. LIAUW, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Liauw treated me for a burst fracture of my L1 vertebrae and he was easy to talk to, and treated me like he would want his family treated. He always kept in mind that I was an athlete and that I wanted to get back to my active life and he made thoughtful decisions with that in mind to allow me to have the best outcome possible.

Absolutely AWESOME care! Dr. Liauw and his Fantastic Team are The BEST! Ultimate Professionals! All Caring, informative, and supportive! I am now back to my normal activity level and absolutely ZeRø pain! Thank You Dr. Liauw.

Great experience with Dr. Liauw, my mom had back surgery and thank to him my mom no longer has pain and it’s way easier to walk. Thank you Dr. Liauw and staff for all the amazing work and help.

ALEXANDER TAGHVA, MD REVIEWS

I recently had DBS surgery with Dr. Tagvah and his team. He and his Physicians Assistant, Bryan, were very kind and actively listened and responded to all of my concerns. He took his time and I never felt rushed. The surgery itself started right on time. The following day, after an evaluation by an OT and PT, I was discharged by noon. I was swollen and sore but nothing a couple of Tylenol couldn’t take care of. I’m currently working with my neurologist to manage my Parkinson’s symptoms with the device and to reduce my medications. I highly recommend Dr.Tagvah and his team should you or your family members require his services. My experience could not have gone more smoothly.

Dr. Taghva literally saved my life. I have no words to say how thankful I am that we found him. I had a herniated disc ( very severe) and was unable to walk, unable to sit, unable to lay on my back and unable to lay on my sides. I have a 1 year old and I was bedridden and in the worst pain of my life and after surgery I had immediate relief. He was confident, kind and so amazing and I felt safe from the moment I saw him. I am very thankful to him and his team. They all treated me so well and were so compassionate. Seriously the best all around and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Dr Tagvah and his PA Brian Coombs did an outstanding job. They set clear expectations of the surgical procedure and of my post operative patient experience. I am 15 days out from my surgery and feeling better than expected all pre-op pain issues are gone and I have had excellent post op home-care services. I highly recommend this wonderful team of medical professionals.
