Dr. Nikan Khatibi, MD

Loved him at first. Got greedy. Now has clinics that look like skid row. Won’t help when it matters even with proof and even with low pain meds, nothing major. Office staff horrible. Lie constant. They don’t always see you either so if you cash pay and script the same you can just pay and leave and they will send it. They will also try and take your meds away.

He pierced my spinal cord during a cervical epidural, leaving me with permanent nerve damage and a paralyzed left hand. I was a healthy, active, successful woman. Now I'm 100% disabled and in chronic pain, with a neurostimulator in my spine. My life will never be the same as it was before he did this to me. Please, trust me, run for the hills.

Dr.Khatibi is a Narcissist. If you try to advocate for your own health care needs, he will not politely disagree. He will gaslight you. Very toxic man = Physician needs to heal thy self.

I really feel comfortable talking to the doctors because they ask questions if I'm not feeling good they ask me about my mental health

I saw Dr Nik For A Year in His Escondido office, I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!! have the Absolute worst Pain Management Doctor now she has had me suffering immensely, I am calling my Insurance provider and BEGGING THEM for Dr Nik Back, Seriously, you will get irritated as Hell with the office Staff but Seriously if your Just nice and Patient with them they help you, they are just grumpy old ladies, like me...lol I guess that's why I get them But This Doctor Absolutely will not let you suffer, just follow their rules and don't be rude, and You will be very Happy, I'm going back, I hope to God, I'm going Back!!!

Great doctor friendly, always happy. Cares about his patients

Dr. Khatibi and his staff make up an excellent team. It is a rarity when you find a team that; listens to you, throughly investigates your concerns, and builds a comprehensive plan to treat you. I have a ton of gratitude for what him, and his team have done to help me.

Worse pain management doctor I have ever been to. I actually didn't get to see him, but he supposedly checked my complaints. Automatic back massage as soon as I got in, my pain is not in my back. Felt like they were just trying to push drugs and lidocaine! Tried to send me for steroid shots with no images. Walgreens refused to fill their prescriptions. They didn't follow Covid-19 protocol. Waiting room was packed, no disinfecting areas and patients with masks below their noses.

THIS DOCTORS OFFICE IS EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL. I work at a skilled nursing facility and almost all patients we have sent here have had numerous complaints. We recently had a patient visit this doctors office with a CNA. The CNA reported that the staff at this office were yelling at her and the patient, and they refused to see the patient. When our facility called to find out what was going on, Dr. Khatibi was very rude over the phone and even hung up the phone when we attempted to discuss the issue. In another instance, the staff at this office refused to let one of our patients in because he came in a gurney. They told the patient that the next time he comes in on a gurney, he'll have to be seen OUTSIDE. I am concerned for the safety and well being of any patient who goes to this office.

Dr K is upbeat caring and provides excellent care. I have been a pain patient for several years now and he has done the best job at controlling my pain. After trying the assigned HMO pain dr I was given I found myself in pain and uncomfortable. After switching to Dr K's office I can live comfortable again. Thanks to Dr K.

Dr. Khatibi is an great doctor he answers all my questions that I have he always make me smile even while in a lot of pain. He listens to everything that I have to say instead of cutting me off or telling me how I feel like other doctors do. When I first started going there his office was always crowded. The older lady that works the front desk is so rude to everyone. After talking to Dr. Khatibi about how crowded the office is and how the older lady talk to me and everybody. I haven't had any problems with the older lady or an over crowded office.

I am very satisfied with my care. Dr. Khatibi is very knowledgeable and has excellent Dr/patient skills of communication and compassion. He has the patient's best interest at heart. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is suffering with pain . I have recommended him many times already. Excellence!!!

This Doctor is a joke. This office is a pill factory, they must see 500 people a day, all they are interested in is when you want to come back for more pills! they did not even look at my x-ray or MRI, how can they diagnose anything without looking? Faye is very meticulous about hand writing in the ledger - I wonder if the IRS would be interested in that ledger? This guy is definatley part of the Opioid Crisis.

I am glad I won't be back. This man does not listen, and is more attentive to the student's he teaches, rather than his patient's

From the moment he started treating me always had a smile, he took the time to ask me questions, not only about the reason for my visit, but about what impact the paint being on my shoulders had on me, he listened and more important, he took action and provided me with the prescritions I needed to relive the majority of the pain

Dr Katibi is super awesome!! But I don't know why he lets the old lady with the heavy accent treat us like total ****. I have had to do without my meds 3 times due to the practicing Dr' s messing up my script. She won't talk to Queens pharmacy to verify anything! She talks to me like I'm some drug addict off the back alley looking for a quick high. She was way nasty and rude to me again. And basically told me he is busy,and I can wait to see him when he's back in Hesperia next month. WTH.

I love Dr. Nik! But you can keep his mother and her staff! I went for my social security hearing and they were ORDERED his staff to forward my records. 7 requests in and now his staff is in contempt of court! Won't be going back!

Worst place! I am a nurse and have worked in healthcare for 18years. NEVER have I ever been treated or seen anyone treat people so inappropriately in my life! ZERO stars.

Very caring, and very attentive to my needs. I love the front staff also. Happy to make him my monthly Doctor. Front staff deals with a heavy all day... they are the best.

I love the doctor! Hated his front office staff.
