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.

For years he was my Doctor, the best, then he left
Always there, knowledgeable about my condition, unfortunately not taking patients now.

Dr. Pouradib is a trouble shooter and a compassionate doctor. He lends an empathetic ear while maintaining a sense of humor. I found Dr. Pouradib in 2016 prior to brain surgery and he stood with me as we went through the 2 year journey of figuring out what was going on. I 'graduated' and no longer needed pain management and a few years later found myself in another health crisis and turned to him again. I highly recommend him if you are needing help with pain management. I wish I could find a primary care as wonderful as he is.

Dr P has been My Guy for years & my only concern is that he will retire! I know he has 100s if patients (at Least) but even without my chart in front of him he knows What's What. He never discounts my knowledge of what's goin on with my body & my ever-fluctuating pain. My Best Quality of Life & Safe Pain meds are his priority. He LISTENS. Those of us in constant pain know what a blessing it is to find a Dr who doesn't discount our own assessments. His staff is kind & on-the-ball, even when it feels like pharmacies/insurance/etc. are conspiring against us. Do not dally...go see him and let him help you on your journey to a more measured, "normal" life. Cheers...Stacee

I've been seeing Dr. Pouradib for many years. The office staff has changed many times and hasn't always been the most competent. However, Dr. P is worth it!

I'm an ICU RN with complicated pain issues for many years. I've seen most of the pain doctors in Orange County but none as skilled, kind, compassionate and honest as Dr. Pouradib. He's got an incredible bedside manner that will leave you feeling better than when you walked in. If someone's going to stick a needle in my spine, I want it to be Dr. P. In the current healthcare climate, pain managment is a challenge. Despite those challenges, he uses his wealth of knowledge and skills to control my pain and give me back a quality of life I never thought possible. I doubt you'll find a better practicioner in southern California. I highly recommend Dr. Pouradib for all your pain care needs. He's honest, caring, down to earth, a skilled practicioner and a beautiful human being. He's truly a life saver!

Very unfortunate to have a pain doctor add to your pain! Forget about his rude and incompetent office staff ! His reason for it was disgusting and against the oat and humanity . I had seen him before and this time in pain I made another appointment after his office changed my appointment a few times once I got there first of all she said your appointment is not at 12:00 but 1:00 and a bit after she said we can’t even see you cuz of your insurance ! I had giving them my new one #10 on the phone

Horrible office scheduler. This Dr. was recommended for injection by my surgeon at Cedar Sinai . I left several messages for new patient scheduler. Never heard back from her. I called the front office after a few days and was informed the scheduler is sitting next to her and she will call me right away. Never heard from her. At this point I chose another Dr. for my procedure. I will inform my surgeon about this strange experience and Dr. Pouradib needs to know what happens in his office.

I have been seeing Dr. Amir Pouradib for over 10 years. I got him by chance when I was admitted to Saddleback Hosp. for an unresolved migraine. Under his care, my migraine resolved he became my doctor, there is no one better, kinder, more caring or truly concerned about relieving your pain. I have had steroid & facet injections and a multitude of procedures & medications. Dr. Pouradib is always professional, knowledgeable, helpful & so kind. There isn't enough space to say how wonderful he is.

I met Dr. Pouradib through my dear friend whom has been seeing him for a couple years. Before Dr. Pouradib she had horrible unmanageable chronic pain for so many years, frequent stays in the hospital as a result.. until Dr. Pouradib worked his magic with her. I've taken her to appointments & joined for his caring consulting sessions with her. He is just wonderful & amazing with his level of care!! Last year I watched his brilliant diagnostic talent literally save her life! Thank you Dr. Pouradib

I have had spine issues for 23 years. He is by FAR the best doc I've seen! Injections are not easy as I had a fusion done 3 years and have scar tissue and metal in my back so his job is hard but i trust him completely! His bedside manner is 200% He's hilarious to say the least. I could go in crying in pain and he will have me laughing in minutes. Sometimes I have my kids with me, unlike most doctors he doesn't mind and engages with them. Cannot say enough good things about him!

I have seen Dr. Pouradib since moving out to Aliso Viejo in 2007..sadly, I have had many problems that have led to pain that needs to be managed daily. Dr. Pouradib is one of the most knowledgeable doctors in his field, but also, the most caring! I trust him completely and never leave his office feeling that I haven't been given the best care possible.

I've been getting injections, both cervical and lumbar from Dr. Pouradib for six years now. Because of a large amount of scar tissue he had to get the needle within a few millimeters of my spinal cord but I trust him completely from experience and the fact he has done thousands of these injections. He's also given me trigger point shots which is a huge help for muscle spasm pain. Very friendly and easy to talk to. My daughter also sees the doctor for back pain and she too thinks he's great.
