Dr. Shahbandar is an amazing doctor who truly cares about his patients pain. He is very knowledgeable and gets right to the root cause. He's been my doctor for 4 years now and treats my neck and back pain. His staff is friendly as well.I also love the ease of virtual follow ups, it definitely aligns with my busy schedule.

Been a patient for at least 5 years after an accident and several surgeries. As I age, dealing with joint damage. Care has always been compassionate and they listen to you. As a nurse myself, this is extremely important to me. Teleconferencing, along with in person care with Covid took me a while to get used to but it saves time, less patients in the office and allows them to take care of more people.

I have been to 4 different Pain Management Doctors. This is the first Doctor that listened to what I had to say. He's the first to refill my pump and I never felt a thing. Dr Shahbander is an AWESOME Doctor I would so highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He listened and cares about you as a person.

If anyone truly lives with severe chronic pain this is the doctor you need to go see. My situation has become more severe month after month and year after year. To the point where I’m at times a shut in.
I had almost given up on ever being able to manage my pain efficiently but thank God there is hope don’t give up! I urge you to to make a appointment with this doctor.
He listens, takes his time and communicates politely and professionally with his patients. He is very skilled with the knowledge and experience to match. I’m so blessed to be able to call him my doctor.

Dr.shahbandar and his staff did an excellent job and we’re highly trained. They knew exactly what to do and how to do their paperwork. Not only to Dr. Shahbandar prescribe me the necessary medicine that was needed but he also gave me paperwork for cognitive behavior therapy and told me to get into Thai Chi breathing treatments Which I said to relieve pain naturally… I give Dr.Shahbandar and his associates and office workers a five out of five star rating for my personal opinion. I am hoping that this type of treatment continues throughout his office. Also that it gets spread to other officers

I love Dr. Shahbandar and his staff. They are friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive and very competent. I didn't rate 5 stars because lately my visits have been taking nearly 2 hours when for over 2 years I have been in and out of the office in between 30-45 minutes. I specifically requested the first visit today to avoid the pain and discomfort I experience in sitting for extended periods and it still took over 1 1/2 hours to get out the door and there were only 2 people in the waiting room when I arrived. This is a very big issue for me because of the state of my health but they

Great doctors and staff. They all do their best to manage my pain and have given me quality of life back. They aren't an office that just simply wants you in and out in 5 minutes. They take the time to see how you're doing and will talk with you if you have any questions. I recommend anyone who deals with chronic pain to check them out.
