Dr. Alireza Katouzian, MD

Don't go here if you can help it. Arrogant doctors who treat staff like crap.

Dr. Katouzian and his team are incredible! From start to finish. From dealing with authorizations and insurance to properly and effectively healing your pain. They get it done.

He was very thorough in investigating my case. He took the time to check everything I had written and went over all my tests before I went in to see him.

Always a very long wait.Was told to come in early and waited two hours.Waiting room very hot.Very difficult to get meds refilled,you must give drug test every three months ,and you must do this w/o noitification...don't forget or they will not give you your medicine.Staff is nice.MD can go either way,nice,nasty.Sometimes I feel humiliated after I leave because I am taking a very small amount of narcotics at bedtime and I get a lecture from him.He does not seem to remember my case ,and I have seen him many times and he has suck many needles in me.

I am so thankful for Dr. Katouzian. After seeing a chiropractor, who put me on a machine that had horrible ramifications on my back and after suffering excruciating pain for three weeks,and after having two generic epidurals given by a back surgeon who shouldn't be doing this and who told me that if the third epidural didn't work he couldn't do anything more for me, and after telling me that the information that I'd gotten from research done on the WWW (information that was correct) was incorrect, I vowed not to return. A friend with bad back problems recommended Dr. Katouzian. We met, he listened, he agreed with what I'd learned, I had another MRI (which the back surgeon said I didn't need but which I did need), and he gave me an epidural that targeted the two pinched nerves that were causing the pain. He put me on meds that helped and because of him, my husband and I were able to take our planned trip overseas. I highly recommend Dr. Katouzian to anyone who is having pain. His… assistant, Laurie is as helpful as he is.

Dr. Khatouzian follows the first rule of patient care: "listen to the patient." he remembers you and various complications that might impact your care having listened closely. He designs a workable pain managment program and is willing to try alternatives, refer out if need be and keep trying. He maintained me pain free for almost 2 1/2 years before he and I agreed that surgery was indicated at that point. I had tried many doctors before I found him and he is the best. I have referred a number of people to him and they are all pleased.
