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.

Highly Recommend Dr. Anand & His Staff
I have several spine issues which Dr. Anand has been treating with epidural injections. He is highly skilled and professional, asking questions and discussing options. His treatments have worked for me, where I have little or no pain where it was great before. His staff have been fine as well. After every treatment, there is a follow up call. I appreciate all he and his staff have done to improve my life.

Grateful for Dr. Anand's care and concern
I was experiencing a great deal of pain in my lower right back and groan area. Dr. Anand asked many questions, showed a great deal of concern and recommended that I get a MRI. The MRI showed that my lower spine was compressed which he said was the likely cause of my pain. I've had two series of epidural shots which have help greatly. Dr. Anand was the only physician to help me and I am forever greatlful for his expertise. I thank Dr. Anand for giving me a better quality of life.

Outstanding Pain Management Celinic
Dr Anand has helped me greatly. I have suffered with severe back pain and tried medication, chiropractic, physical therapy and exercise. Although all of this helped..It was Dr Anand and his team who helped me become pain free for extended periods. His compassion, kindness and knowledge helps his patients have complete confidence in his recommendations. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone suffering from pain.

should be zero
guy is absolutely pompous and arrogant. started blaming me for the problems i was experiencing during treatment. bedside manner is absolutely atrocious, he cuts you off and never listens to his patients. i am going to be submitting and official complaint to the American Medical Association for him to be investigated. he should be working in a call center to be honest the way he cuts people off and tries to schmooze and run circles around you, kind of like a greasy car salesman. and he gets defensive when he is speaking to somebody with equal or higher intelligence and he knows he is not getting over.

I have a history in medicine and please, please heed this warning; this doctor is terrible. cocky, with a God complex that’s pathetic. He made his introduction as we was leaving the room after the consultation. What? The WORST experience I’ve ever had with a doctor and his PA is just as bad but is able to fake her complete lack of empathy better than he. Stay away. Please.

Shot treatment
This was the 2nd time going to the pain & wellness center and I enjoyed it , quick and easy didn’t take all day Dr Rahul explain the procedure thoroughly and answered my question also asked questions to make sure I was ok , and even after the treatment the clinic called me to check up on me , the office is super welcoming and relaxing the receptionist and nurses are really nice , I love coming to this office quick visit quick procedure didn’t feel any pain just pressure and it only lasted a few minutes .. over all I’d rate my experience a 10/10

***DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR, HE HAS ZERO BEDSIDE..
I went to Dr Anand for an epidural shot for whiplash pain from an accident. My 1st Appt: A nurse spent 10 mins with me asking all new patient questions. Dr Anand came into the room afterwards and spent 2 minutes with me & when I asked a question about the initial shot I was to receive in a few days, he began rolling his eyes and taking big breaths, huffing with impatience. I wondered "is he for real??” My 2nd visit: I received the initial epidural shot that took the doctor 2 minutes to inject into the back of my neck. My 3rd Appt was scheduled to have a more intensive shot. When Dr. Anand came into the room I asked him ( 1 ) question which was how does this shot differ from the one I received the week before. WELL, DR ANAND WENT INTO THE ROLLING EYES AND HUFFING WITH IMPATIENCE LIKE I have never seen from a doctor. TO SAY THAT HE HAS ZERO BEDSIDE MANNERS IS UNDERSTATING WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I left the office without having the shot. I received a bill for $5,525. I WILL NOT PAY HIM.

A Magician at making pain disappear
Understands how to precisely interpret pain and addresses it with skill and compassion. I have been a patient for 3+ years. He alleviates my back pain in one visit and the treatment lasts for more than 6 months! He talks patients through each procedure which is comforting and reassuring. He’s a treasure!

Great Dr. And office staff
Dr. Anand and his staff are wonderful. . He helped me 10 years ago and when I needed help in another area there is no one else I would go to. I was able to get an appointment for treatment quickly. He and his staff clearly explains what happens prior to starting a procedure. During the procedure he is telling you what is doing at every step. He has helped in in the past and I know he will help me with my current situation . Thank you Dr. Anand and your staff!

Wouldn’t trust anyone else
I’ve been seeing Dr. Anand for the past 15/16 years now. Receiving steroid injections and RFA’s in my lumbar, acupuncture and trigger point needling. Now I just had my first steroid injection in my neck. I’m only 44 years old and if it wasn’t for these procedures I don’t know that I’d be able to function. My quality of life is better because of him. He is knowledgeable and well skilled. The office workers admin staff, medical assistance are all great too. They are professional and well organized.

Severe Back Pain
Dr. Anand was able to get me a MRI with 24 hours on a Friday Night, Back in for treatment on Tuesday. Dr. Anand truly cares about his patients, he goes out of his way to expedite your treatement. He is one of the few Doctors I truly trust, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I am thankful for being his patient. He is outstanding in his profession and is extremely knowledgeable. He has continuously healed my severe & debilitating back pain and has me back to myself after treatment.

I have been seeing Dr. Anand for a few years now. My back pain stems from different issues and once I received the shots from Dr. Anand, I go for months without pain. There are times he is rushed but always takes the time to make sure I'm comfortable, not in pain, etc. If I have a question, he answers and lets me know consequences or other options available. The office staff has always been friendly and helpful and as far as appointments, they do their best getting me in in a timely manner. I recommend Dr. Anand to my friends often and will continue to do so.

Incredible, personable and caring Doctor!
Dr. Anand was an incredible, professional and caring doctor. I would 10/10 recommend anybody with neck or Bain issues to consult with him. I had several misdiagnosed explanations of my neck pain but Dr. Anand was able to pinpoint why I was feeling pain and was able to put me on a good treatment plan to get me back to normal.

Rude, arrogant dismissive and combative
If you are in pain, need compassion or if you are a woman, steer clear! Combative nature, often berates other individuals. Clearly has the “God” complex many refer to when describing arrogant doctors.
