Advanced Pain Management & Rehab Medical Group Inc

Excellent Dr. Lots of knowledge. They run a tight ship. Lots of patients indicate most people get along well here. I appreciated this Dr. He listens. He’s got a sense of humor, you’ve just got to be a patient patient! (:
Understand your condition. Bring lots of medical records so that this Doctor isn’t guessing as to your desire for pain meds. This kind of work is tough. The state regulations make these doctors into judge and jury as to wether or not you are an addict or legit. If they are wrong– they loose their license. Give them a break! This Doctor is very professional with those patients he trusts. The longer you are there, the more welcome you will feel.
I had a simple procedure requiring a day in surgery. Dr Punjabi spent a long time over several sessions giving me lots of info and answering tons of questions. He’s good at what he does. He’s funny and upbeat. He’s also quick and on to the next person in pain. I’m glad he’s conscientious.

Rude. Condescending. Does not care for his patients or listen to concerns. late on a regular basis.
0 stars if possible.

I shouldn’t even give him 1 star… Very rude to his patients talks down to his employees and yells at them in front of patients. I would never refer him just wants money doesn’t care about his patients!!! Parking still sucks, patients crash all the time, still very run down and dirty inside. Don’t even get me started with management! ALOT of employee turn over. DO NOT COME HERE NOR WORK HERE!

I have suffered from on and off again back and neck pain for over 25 years now. In the past 5 years the pain has worsened progressively. I have a friend who is a pain management specialist in El Dorado Hills and I would visit him when the pain was more than I could take. As comfortable as I was seeing my friend for the management of my pain, I knew I needed to find an alternative closer to home. I starting seeing Dr. Panjabi about 4 years ago, and upon my first visit I felt comfortable with his knowledge and ability to treat me. About a year ago Dr. Panjabi told me I needed to get surgery on my back, he kept insisting I get it taken care of or one day I would need emergency surgery. Had I listened to Dr. Panjabi’s demands and explanations as to why I should have surgery asap, my back would most likely be pain free today. Unfortunately I didn’t listen, I really should have because if you think about it, he had my best interest in mind when he suggested surgery. Sure enough my back went out while I was in San Antonio, Texas. I was 1800 miles from home, unable to move with the most excruciating pain ever. To make a long story short I had surgery, unfortunately I still have pain, though not as bad, and nerve damage. I continue to see Dr. Panjabi and Riddhi Patel, his PAC to this day. I am very pleased with the level of attention I receive and confident in their medical opinion.
I must say my experience with PA-​C Riddhi Patel has been better than expected. Seeing a PA-​C instead of the doctor was new to me and I wasn’t sure how I would feel. Her no nonsense straight to the point approach is reassuring.
I have also had several epidurals for my neck that worked like a charm. They seem to last about a year or more. Dr. Panjabi and his staff have a way of making you feel at ease before the procedure.
They always seem to be super busy which is good, to me it is a sign of a great doctor or why else would so many people line up to see him?
As busy as they are, the staff always takes to time to handle my questions or concerns.
I would like to acknowledge and thank Jody for dealing with me. I must admit I can be a real horses ass at times. It seems like severe pain brings out the worst in people. On one occasion I was very disrespectful to Jody while she remained composed and ever so polite. She definitely did not warrant or deserve to be treated in that manner. What impressed me the most about Jody, is she never let that get to her, or stand in the way of going out of her way for me. I have witnessed first hand what Jody and her staff deal with daily, all I can say is I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.

Had an appointment last Thursday. Not enough chairs for the patients, office dirty & run down. The front desk staff where eating lunch at the front desk and seemed disorganized. The place smelled bad. Saw the PAC as the doctor was «too busy» informed me the only thing they could do was increase the stregnth of the medication I am already on. Not an answer only a bandaid — will not go back
