Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rushed
I was in need for sometime to seek out a pain management doctor. My visit with the Orlin and Cohen practice and Dr. Yadegar was one I was really in need of and excited about. I felt extremely rushed at each appointment. I barely had an opportunity to go over the reason I was there at my first visit. After my second visit I cancelled all future appointments. I definitely felt like I wasn't being heard and the doctor barley spend any time to examine me or get to know my issues.

He really cares
Every time I go see Dr. Yadegar, he really listens to what is going on with me and I have had a rough couple of years with my neck. I can tell he cares and has stuck by me ever since my neck issues started. I don't know where I would be without his medical help and expertise. If you are having issues with neck or back pain, Dr Yadegar is the ONLY person you should go see.

Dr. Yadegar was my doctor for awhile & during that time I found it very difficult to talk to him about new issues that arose w/my body & pain. In my opinion, this doctor does not like to be asked ANY questions but rather just wants to tell his patients what to do & if you're not on the same page then go somewhere else for medical help. It seemed to me that he truly didn't understand pain; how scary new onset or chronic pain is to the patient. I don't understand how he was named "Compassionate Doctor of the Year" 2x. As a surgeon w/injections, he's fine BUT as a doctor, in the appointment room, he portrayed himself to me as uninterested to my concerns. I imagine that right after this review, Dr. Yadegar will have many favorable reviews touting how compassionate & fabulous & what a great diagnostician he is in listening to his patients' concerns & how dozens of people were referred to him by them b/c of his "bedside manner."

I have had chronic pain for over twenty years & have been to a number of pain management Drs until I found Dr Yadegar. He has been the only Dr who has ever made it possible for me to walk when my pain becomes debilitating. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs his expertise.

A great experience from out consultation and on. Just came back from my second group of elidurals these are a little different So I could not be knocked out But the anesthesiologist make me feel very comfortable and what I thought was the lidocaine numbing shots was actually the multiple epidurals I was getting, Doctor Yadegar Listens to your Concerns explains everything that needs to be explained perfectly and now I have no apprehension if I have to do this again. I would recommend him to all

Dr. Yadegar has been treating me for several years. Not only is he the best at what he does, he is extremely compassionate. His techniques have been far superior than other docs I have used previously with results lasting years. I couldn't help but respond to the last review which was written by someone who clearly is misrepresenting this amazing doctor. I have recommended him to countless family and friends ALL of whom have had great experiences.

I would never go back again. Worst bedside manner and attitude. No exam given at all and immediately jumped into invasive treatment. Really disliked him. Never,never, use or recommend him to anyone.

He is probably really great at the procedures and diagnoses. But his office is impenetrable afterwards. He/they are unresponsive to pain management issues after the patient has left his office. No sensitivity to the situation he leaves his patient in regarding # days of pain meds remaining on his latest prescription versus how long it takes to get a followup appointment. That's important because prescriptions for narcotics can't be renewed without seeing him.

Finally got into see Dr Yadegar after all this red tape with my orthopedic doctor. I pinch my sciatica nerve and the pain level was 10. Dr Yadegar realize this and scheduled my epidural spinal injection the next day. He was straight up with me and I plan on using him from on with my back issues. He went out of his way to get this procedure done asap and I thank him for that.

Dr. Yadegar was professional and polite. He went into my diagnosis in full detail and explained the issue in clear language. Dr. Yadegar treated my injury and after many months of pain I was pain free. The office was spotless and the staff was friendly and reassuring.
