Dr. Arie Vadim Gluzman, MD

I don’t write reviews often, but this one is long overdue. After a lifetime of chronic pain, surgeries, and countless visits to different pain management doctors, I can honestly say that Dr. Gluzman is in a league of his own. He is, without question, the best doctor I’ve had in my 55 years. What makes him exceptional isn’t just his knowledge (which is extensive), but how deeply he cares. He listens. He takes his time. He never makes you feel like just another appointment on the schedule. You feel seen, heard, and respected. Over the years, I’ve developed a level of trust with him that allows me to be completely honest about my health, knowing he is always looking out for my well-being. He approaches care as a partnership, which has made a huge difference in my quality of life. He is also constantly staying ahead of the curve—bringing in new technologies, therapies, and alternative options—but always with careful research and consideration. He doesn’t chase trends; he ensures what… he offers is safe, effective, and truly beneficial. And his team? Absolutely incredible. Kind, genuine, and welcoming every single visit. They create an environment that is not only professional, but genuinely positive. After everything I’ve been through medically, I don’t say this lightly: this office stands apart from all the rest. If you are looking for a doctor who truly cares and is committed to helping you live your best life despite chronic pain, I cannot recommend Dr. Gluzman highly enough.

He is simply one of the best. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. G. The reviews on this page are indicative of his competence, integrity, and genuine caring nature. He is the third pain management doctor I've seen for my condition, and I only wish I had met him earlier. I can easily say that because of him, I am better off today than I was yesterday.

Dr. Gluzman is honest and talented. He solved the mysteries of my wifes pain with very little fluff or misdirection. He's solution orientated, but isn't willing to entertain folly. Go see him if you're serious about solving your issue, rather than slapping a patch onto it and hoping to move on to someone more pliant.

Dr. Gluzman listens to my concerns and needs and addresses them instantly. His main concern is keeping me out of pain and works hard to do so. I like him a lot and have recomended my family and friends to him. Dr. Gluzman really cares about his patients!! I give him five stars!!

After years of wearing a cape, jumping off tall buildings in a single bound and going beyond the limits the human body was generally intended to go, eventually age, abuse and less than perfect physical conditioning up catches up with you. The body will do it's best to work with you, however, when it's had enough it will send you a message... it's call PAIN! Sometimes it's a little pain, sometimes it screams at you and makes it unbearable to go one more minute without having to pay attention to it. I was had a military training instructor tell me "Pain is your friend", which I am sure everybody in the training cycle though the same thing as I did... "With friends like that, who needs enemies!". But as inconvenient, uncomfortable and aggravating as pain sometimes is... It's right. Human's do not have a check engine light telling you when something is wrong. Just your good ole Major Pain, who is not nearly as funny as Damon Wayan's Major Payne, but few things… are. Years of wrestling, judo, martial arts training, jumping off buildings, into oceans out of aircraft provided me quite a few opportunities to become pretty well acquainted with my friend Pain, who over the years would relentlessly remind me not to do some things quite the same way again, and some, NOT AT ALL! So much so that of recent years I noticed a significant reduction in my speed doing things, my overall low energy (? mark shape) getting out of bed in the morning (did I forget to say Mr. Pain uses up a lot of energy, worse than a girlfriend that steals your blankets in the middle of the night and puts her cold feet on your back keeping you from a goodnight's sleep) Anyway, Pain and injuries decided to gang up on my trying to ignore them (which boys and girls is something you shouldn't do with your girlfriend either, unless you like cold feet and waking up without any blankets...just sayin!) Enter Dr. Arie Gluzman who knows more about pain than Zsa Zsa Gábor, Larry King, Liz Taylor, Mickey Rooney, Alec Wildenstein, Rupert Murdoch and Mel Gibson's Divorce Lawyers know about divorce combined. Which is VERY Good to know when you're looking for a divorce from pain! I met Dr. Gluzman through his medical practice partner Dr. Daniel S. Yanni who is a star Neurosurgeon as one of the premiere Minimally Invasive Neurosurgeons in Orange County. Who also have an office crew that ROCK! Together Dr. Yanni and Dr. Gluzman together are the Back Pain Dynamic Duo Team! (in order of appearance SAG/Aftra member always complain about this stuff so it's become 2nd nature) Dr. Gluzman stops the pain and Dr. Yanni fixes bones nerves and vertebrae from the brain to your toes when they refuse to cooperate. These young-ish (nobody gets out of medical school and training young), energetic, caring, kind, up to date, no-nonsense tell it to you straight guys will tell you what you can, or more importantly what they can or cannot do for you an not waste your time. What we all should expect but not always get from our doctors in America. After meeting with Dr. Yanni, looking at the recent CT, MRI and XRay scans I provided he was quickly able to determine several cervical, lumbar and even a thoracic spine issue I was not aware of. Dr. Yanni referred me to Dr. Gluzman who did EMG tests to check out any nerve damage. After the two of them shared their diagnosis they came up with several strategies in order of priority and discussed them in detail with me. Some I didn't want to hear, but made sense and Dr. Gluzman scheduled me for an Epidural Injection aka a BIG needle in the spine!?! Now, I'm not afraid of guns, knives and some types of bombs, but little shiny needles still make a wuss out of me...bigger ones... a bigger wuss. The procedure is done in a surgical center with Anesthesiologist, nurses and of course Dr. Gluzman. They had me scheduled for a 05:30 check in for a 06:30 procedure. Dr. Ted Quilligan M.D was my Anesthesiologist who I will call Dr. Feelgood from now on. After the normal strip show (by myself) and donned the obligatory open back gown which is all the craze in these places, not a big fan, especially in the cold OR's, however once on the gurney rolled into the OR, I was covered with warm heated blankets, snugly face down on the table with a chiropractic type hole for your face and Dr. Ted "Feelgood" Quilligan said where going to start the IV and less than 30 minutes later I woke up not realizing everything was ALREADY DONE! WT...HECK!? No Disorientation! No Headache! No Nausea! which has always been an issue for me! NO PAIN from the procedure, Like it never happened, except 24 hours later much less spine pain Dr. Gluzman said with continue to subside over the next several days! Forgive the diatribe review, but I felt it important that people like me who are not big fans of surgery, needles and anesthesia or pain medications, to cut to the chase and Meet the Docs! You won't regret it!

I was treated by Dr. A. Gluzman 2 weeks ago for a break in my ankle that happened 40 years ago. I have been in extreme pain and seeing orthopedic doctors but I was not getting any relief from the pain. I have bone on bone in the ankle because the ankle was not set correctly 40 years ago. Dr. Gluzman injected my ankle and it took about one week of resting the ankle, but I am currently pain free. Dr. Gluzman advised me another injection may be needed in about 6-8 months. Previous doctors were just treating me with cortisone and I had relief only for 2-3 days. My wife advised me to see Dr. Gluzman because he treated her for severe hip problems about 2 years previous. Her hip is doing very well other doctors gave her no relief. Appointments with Dr. Gluzman are always a pleasure. He listens intently to the problem and never rushes you. His office staff are very friendly and helpful whether visiting the office for appointments or speaking with them on the telephone. My wife and… myself are very pleased to recommend Dr. Gluzman. We have recommended him to family and friends.

I've had wonderful treatment during my visits at Dr.Gluzman's office. The office staff is considerate and caring. Dr. Gluzman is professional and knows how to treat patients. I am so glad that I found a wonderful doctor to help me manage my migraine pain!

Have been seeing Dr. Gluzman for 5 years. He diagnosed my condition and has followed up on the treatment and made my life very physically active. Highly recommend him .

Friendly office, Super Clean and always on time. When picking out a Dr. I always look for smart. Dr. Gluzman is excellent at diagnostics, keeps ahead of current trends and meds. Do yourself a favor and call for an appointment. You will be happy with the results.
