ADRIAN BARTOLI, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Bartoli is an extremely thoughtful and talented physician who takes great pride in crafting an individualized and effective pain management regimen for each patient. He treats each patient with humanity and compassion. His treatment has made it possible for me to pursue my career and enjoy activities with family and friends without having to worry about pain holding me back.

Dr. Bartoli is the master of epidurals! He knows exactly where to go, what to do, and how much. I never experience the usual pain of the first few days and am up and doing 1000x better immediately. His calming nature is always grounding and safe. He is so knowledgeable and can explain things in a way that makes perfect sense. He is a great PM doctor!.

Doctor and staff are very caring, better organized and more responsive than any other pain practice I’ve dealt with.

BENJAMIN LAU, MD REVIEWS

The numerous positive reviews of Dr. Lau are well-deserved. While I have consulted with several pain specialists, Dr. Lau stands out as my preferred choice. His genuine concern and attentive listening skills make him an exceptional physician. If you are seeking a highly competent doctor for chronic pain management, Dr. Lau is undoubtedly the best option available. In addition to the aforementioned points, Dr. Lau and his staff are exceptionally kind and considerate individuals.

Greetings, Dr. Lau is one of the best pain management doctors in California. He truly listens to his patients needs, and makes the best informed decision to help patients manage their health related issues.His assistants are are very friendly and provides excellent customer service. If your looking for the best in care, look no further. Call Dr. Benjamin Lau today to schedule your appointment, you won't regret it. Ms. Thompson.

Dr. Lau is wonderful. He is very experienced, honest, friendly, and has a great bedside manner. He is extremely skilled at dry needling, and makes me feel very safe and calm throughout the (painful!) procedure. I really trust his judgement! Highly recommended!.

RUBEN KALRA, MD REVIEWS

Excellent Dr and staff. Everyone is very interested in your care. Dr Kalra seems truly interested in you feeling better and offers options to help you that you might not get the choice of somewhere else. There's traditional help (using pain medication and injections) and less traditional (using feedback and relaxation techniques) to more experimental PRP which has worked for me. I would recommend Dr Kalra and his staff to others seeking help with their chronic pain management.

I have been seeing Dr Kalra for over 3 years for non-invasive pain management for a bad lower back. He has many options for pain management and is the ultimate professional. I highly recommend Dr Kalra for alternative pain management solutions.

Dr. Kalra is great! I’m a big fan. He is not dogmatic and listens to you. He offers different therapys to choose from!.
