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.

Rudeness is the only way to describe it.
I met with Dr Hwang. It was rushed and she was rude. The staff was rude. I waited for over an hour. I will not go back.

worst office

First visit waited in room for over 1 hour no vitals no urine test absolutely nothing but review medical history. I had to go out and check to see if they were still in office since it was quiet. They said your next only to wait additional half hour. only for Dr. to say all the wrong meds I was on she paid more attention to wildlife outside than me. After approx. 10 min I walked out with 3 meds that did nothing for me. 2 weeks later another 7 min phone appt. only to add more RX I requested to be on what worked for me IMMEDIATE denial. I have gone through 5-6 different meds nothing working. BUT they do bill my insurance as soon as we hang up. I have never met Dr Deldar every appt is a different DR. Calling from various numbers never from the office #

Annette is an angel
Annette gives me pain shots in my spine every few weeks and she is a miracle worker. After almost a year with shots and Physical Therapy I can now get out of my back and neck brace. I can start doing art and I don’t need my cane. If you are in pain get in get evaluated. Get your life back.

I have a back with deteriorating disc disease. I have had 2 fusions. Dr. Deldar has done wonders in reducing my back pain. His care have allowed me to maintain a fairly active lifestyle. He is caring and has a wonderful office staff. Right now an ablation on my back seems to be quite successful. It usually works for up to 6 months. I am so happy to be under his care. He is a wonderful doctor and so happy i found him.

If you’re a patient who suffers from Chronic pain and opioids work for you; say bye to them. He’ll have you on 3+ Different medications To not prescribe opioids. He’ll treat you different if opioids are effective. Uncooperative.

I am deeply grateful for Dr. Deldar's work handling my case. I finally made it to him after 4+ months of excruciating sciatic pain down to my ankle due to an exercise-induced injury. I worked with chiropractic, a physical therapist and a family medicine doctor, all who helped a great deal. But it wasn't until an MRI revealed a cyst on one of my lower back discs that we understood from where the problem emanated. Dr. Deldar punctured the cyst and also gave me an epidural nerve blocker. This has caused my pain to go from a 7–9 range down to a 1–3 range (in the morning when it was worst). I am now able to sit again and sleep on my side – such a great relief! We're going to work on the remaining pain as well. Highly recommend. He knows what he's doing.

I was recommended to Dr Deldar for many years of chronic pain from neuropathy.Calling for appt. was easy and the staff was friendly and professional during my visits.The Dr. listened and recommended taking me off opiods,and started me on a med.that would help me with possible withdrawals and my pain, and it worked well and still is many months later.A few months after first visit he helped me with my muscle spasms in my neck,and the front desk got me in immediately,and the Dr, took care of that problem and i walked out pain free and could move my neck. I feel blessed to have such a qualified Dr. that listens and gives you options and explains a procedure and is also very nice and has a professional team. Obviously,i would definitely recommend Dr Deldar................ Ron C

7 months of pain. 4 previous opinions from orthopedic doctors. I am a dental hygienist and could not work any more. Dr. Deldar is knowledgeable, kind and professional. He also listens with respect. He explained the procedure that he recommended. 4 injections of lidocaine and steroid medication. I wasn’t nervous because he was calm. The sharp burning pain eased up in my elbow. His staff is great too! Brendan MA, Brenda at the reception desk and Diana with insurance. I returned 2 weeks later for injections on my neck. I need to have surgery eventually. The injections really helped here too.

Horrible experience. To scared to prescribe medication that actually works due to opioid epidemic. Didn’t even mention physical therapy till I brought it up. Don’t let the good reviews fool you. He sucks and is inconsiderate.

Dr Deldar saved my life! I have had 10 back/ neck surgeries. Making me a chronic pain patient. When my previous Doctor stopped ordering Methadone, I was suddenly without medical care. Dr Deldar came highly recommended. Although the office was booked they agreed to get me in to meet doctor. He listened patiently and said”I can help you, are you ready to go through withdrawal?” With his excellent guidance we got me through a challenging time. The whole office was supportive, the best group From receptionist, and all support staff ,including Medical Assistant personal. I am a better person due to Dr Deldar. His kind, knowledgeable concerned approach makes him a excellent Pain management Doctor. My husband, a retired surgeon, joins me in highly recommending Doctor Deldar!

I have had several visits, and one epidural. He is timely, actually talks to the patient (I speak not just of my own experience, but what other patients of his have told me), fully explains what's up and his plan of action, and is just a very pleasant guy. He meets with you within minutes of your appointment time; once, he even took me in early because I was already there and he was ready to go. His staff, too, is excellent. In short, he is one very smart, highly trained MD with a genuine interest in, empathy for, his patients. Other doctors, of any specialty, could learn a lot from him.

Dr DelDar has been the greatest blessing to me! After seeing several doctors for my back pain, he was the first doctor to fully examine and review my MRI with me in person. I understood why I was hurting and that it wasn’t all in my head. After the epidural I had a lot of relief and I am looking forward to doing more PT and getting my life back!!

I started going to Dr.Deldar for pain management under the advice of my primary care physician. At the time I had been taking 180mg. of morphine sulfate daily for over 20 yrs.. In seven months, Dr Deldar & I managed to step the dose(s) down gradually without any physical or mental anguish. I am now free from opioids & my life has changed tenfold. I still see Dr. Deldar monthly & I will forever thank him for helping me.

What a wonderful feeling to be free of pain! I am in my 80s and did not want surgery so my primary physician referred me to Dr. Deldar for treatment. The treatment was successful and I am so thankful for the excellent care I received. To be able to move, sit and sleep without pain is marvelous.

I struggled with back pain for over a year before I saw Dr. D. I'm not sure where I'd be without Dr. Deldar. He is perfectly balanced between professional and empathetic. He listens well, makes appropriate referrals and is not afraid to help his patients treat their pain respectfully. I would recommend him instantly if you are dealing with any type of chronic life changing pain. Thank you Dr. D for caring so much about your patients.
