Dr. Andrew Hok-San Thio, MD

This is what I would say is a Mill as soon as anybody stands up and starts to ask questions and I've seen it in the office they completely shut you down and you just have to do whatever they say or they will kick you out of their practice they only accept cash so I would stay away and if you look it up, all the reviews are horrible

Went to Dr Thio after told by my neurologist to get surgery ASAP. I did not want to get cut open too soon. So, Dr Thio gave me Radio frequency ablation and a few weeks later Steroid shots. Now I don’t have much pain which should last six months to a year. His assistant Grace was very detailed and helpful.

I had severe back problems. He did radio frequency and steroids. My relief of pain is 80%. My neurologist wanted to operate ASAP. But Dr. Andrew Thio helped me temporary for at least six months to a year. Better than me being cut open.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Worst person EVER answering phones. Immediately telling me no medicine will be given without knowing who I was. She kept saying i'll have to go to physical therapy which of course i said was ok, but she kept arguing. she then started to tell me ill have to get injections. i said ok again and she still kept arguing, finally asked if i could just please see the doctor and she said fine and said soonest was 3 weeks out. OUTRAGEOUS that i had to argue just to get an appointment.

This is a terrible office. We went to see dr zapeda and because we were 30 min late they would not work with us. My mother is 72 and was in excruciating pain and it took longer to get to the car, in the car, drive in the car and get out of the car. Because we didn’t call to say we were going to be late is why they didn’t see us. So they could have seen us if they wanted to. They didn’t care at all that she was in pain. We said we’d just wait til he was available. They said we couldn’t wait and threatened to call the police. The most uncompassinste was the manager named Erika. So because we had no other choice we had to settle on coming the next day for an appointment which would have taken 5 minutes because it wasn’t for a procedure. It was for a follow up and to get more pain meds which she had already gone without for a few weeks. After tomorrow we will NEVER come back.

i HAVE BEEN GOING TO DR. THIO FOR 15 YEARS, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND OFFERS MANY TYPES OF PAIN RELIEF. I'VE HAD OVER 22 SURGERY'S AND I WOULD NEVER GIVER DR. THIO UP. HE'S GREAT AT WHAT HE DOES AND I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FORM OF TREATMENT FOR PAIN.

No wonder they only accept cash! No credit card company would approve them with nothing but dissatisfied patients.

Dr This is out for the cash, as his office only accepts cash with no receipts. He talked me into an implant neurostimulator which was performed at his own surgical center Cal Oaks. When it failed, his response was, we'll just put you back on oxycodone and morphine, after I went cold turkey without his help. Not I have ss wires up my spine and an implant which causes me great pain 24/7 that no other doctor will remove. What a heartless quack drug pusher. Results= ruined my life
