Ravin Jain, MD

Wife was referred by Dr. Jain to a hematologist. When she showed up to the appointment she was told no referral was sent over. She called Dr. Jain’s office and was told they couldn’t provide one that day, so she had to reschedule. No apology, nothing. Huge pain in the butt, and not the kind a doctor can fix.

I have NEVER seen this doctor, never heard of him or visited him yet someone from his office keeps making appointments for me on my behalf for office visits and imaging tests at Liberty Imaging in Encino. I don’t know how unscrupulous you have to be to go out and make appointments with people who don’t even know you exist but PATIENT BEWARE! This cannot be a great doctor’s office if they’re using deceitful methods to wrangle in patients.

My 19 year old daughter was experiencing weakness, change in temp, numbness, & pain in her legs and arms. We took her to the ER where we spent over 9hours as they did blood work, CT of her brain, even an EKG. We are blessed to say tests where normal, but my heart was broken that she was sent home with the same symptoms and no answer as to what it could be. I was referred to Dr. Jain from that initial call his staff treated my daughter with compassion and he personally squeezed her in the next day. When we saw Dr. Jain that first visit he did a thorough neurological exam & immediately ordered an MRI, more extensive blood work, & prescribe my daughter the proper medication. His staff worked diligently on getting the MRI authorized and even scheduled the exam ASAP. Due to Dr. Jain & his staff my daughter has been diagnosed properly and is on the mend… for this I will forever be grateful.

I posted on ²⁄₂₇ favorably because of a visit with my husband FOR my husband. Now I have seen Dr. Jain for lifelong Restless Leg Syndrome. Still think he’s terrific. AND, knock wood, his remedy /​diet /​prescription suggestion have eliminated my agonizing RLS. (But it’s been only two weeks — time will tell)

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jain for about 6 months or so and I have to say — I love him! I think he’s an amazing Dr! I started seeing him for migraines and he’s been fabulous! Even at times when I felt completely hopeless — he was very encouraging and was determined that we would figure it out — and guess what? I’ve followed his treatment plan — and we have figured it out — I’ve gone from almost daily migraines to almost non-​existent migraines — and I am eternally grateful to him. He has also seen my husband while he was in the hospital and I’ve found him to be extremely caring in all situations — so to those who have said he has a terrible bedside manner — perhaps you caught him on a bad day… I haven’t found that to be the case at all.

Unfortunately I can’t give Dr. Jain more than 1 star and really would give him 0 if I could. When I first went to him for migraines he didn’t bother to check that birth control pills have an interaction with one of the medications he put me on. He just assumed all birth control pills are equal. Well I was on low hormone pills and in fact the medication he gave me makes the birth control much less effective and if you take low hormone pills it basically makes them null and void (thanks for the heads up dude). Luckily my pharmacist was on top of it (though they aren’t always). I stuck with Dr. Jain even though his bedside manner is a bit stiffer and cold and he is VERY rushed but I don’t need to have every doctor I go to to be sweet and soft. I figured everyone is allowed one slip up and when I talked to him about it he was genuinely surprised and thought they were all the same. Looking back now this seems even more irresponsible because one of the medications can cause birth defects if your pregnant. Really I should have walked away then, REALLY. After filling out the drug interaction paper work that his staff makes you fill out EVERY TIME you walk through the door he neglected to tell me that another medication I take for something all together interacts with a 2^nd drug he prescribed. This particular drug does not interact with the drug he gave me of course but boy does it ever interact with one of the drugs that is on my drug interaction paper work (the one they make you fill out every single time you walk through the door). The interaction was one I could not ignore, DEATH? Are you kidding me? I had to find this out after double checking myself online. I didn’t even bother to call to tell them I just found someone else and stopped going to him. Yes I understand that he’s some big time guy at UCLA and maybe it’s simply that for migraines go see someone with more time. If you have some big scary neurology problem then go to him I’m sure he’d be great and maybe even take more time to be thorough but I think it was simply a matter of being WAY too rushed and not bothering to double check things.

Ravin Jain is a neurologist and his bedside manner is terrible. He is rude, condescending and cold. If you are feeling sensitive or having anxiety about the illness you are suffering from, DO NOT see this doctor. He will make you feel worse. He would not even let me speak. When I would try to tell him something, he would cut me off by speaking really loudly. He also rushed through my appointment. Everything he said was negative– very doom and gloom. No thank you.
