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.

Great Doctor
I wanted to leave a review because it took me several years to find a pain doctor who treats conditions other than spinal issues. I was treated by Dr. Cai for Pudendal Neuralgia after speaking to 4 pain doctors who did not treat it and going to multiple other doctors with no improvement. My pain has improved greatly and it’s such a relief to have a treatment plan that works. She also treats TMJ which again the other pain doctors I spoke with don’t address. I’m very happy with the improvements in these difficult to treat conditions:)))

Dr. Cai has a wonderful bedside manner. She is kind and attentive. She takes time to really listen to your health concerns. She is extremely knowledgeable about medications and options for pain treatment. I trust her recommendations and am genuinely pleased with the care I have received since becoming her patient.

Someone who finally listens
I started seeing Dr. Cai for my arthritis/disk degeneration after my mom had been seeing her for quite awhile and just adored her. I’ve been dealing with neck and back pain for close to 20 years! Thank you Dr. Cai for taking such good care of my family! Dr Cai is knowledgeable in her field and takes the time to listen to you ( which; the first time I noticed that I started to cry). And the entire team there is professional and very sweet!

She is a mediocre doctor. Puts in minimal effort, doesn’t listen to you, is pretty inconsiderate and careless
