Hi there!
I have had the good luck to have had two amazing pain doctors in SoCal. The first, that I currently see is Farshad Ahadian at UCSD. He's wonderful- great bedside manner and he does a lot of research, so he's very current. My last pain doc was in Thousand Oaks, where I used to live. Actually I was in Santa Barbara, but I made the trek to see him- he's worth it. Kamyar Assil. Such a sweet heart, but also a great doctor. If you happen to be near San Diego, stay away from a doctor named Mark Wallace- he nearly killed me when I was in a clinical trial. He's a terrible doctor.

Hope this helps!
