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.

WC Dr to ONLY deny injection 6 Pain Drs recommend
Pain injections performed with 90% success for pain relief, but this Dr is a paper pusher for WC to just deny even simple diagnostic test.I would avoid going to him in real life since paperwork for insurance is only job possible.

This is a doctor that sells his opinion to insurance companies to deny tretament for patoients he has never seen. This is unethical and unprofessional.

Calling during regular office hours gets you kicked into after-office hours recording and an answering service. If someone is actually in the office and answers phone, either she is not informed of Dr’s whereabouts or knows but doesn’t say. Dr obviously did not communicate with her. He is so seldom in that I asked if he was shutting down his office/business. She skirted the issue Im not sure what is going on. At one point I had an appointment but when I arrived the office was completely closed. Apparently they forgot to inform me that he wasn't going to be in that day. I have not heard from Dr Lombardo or his office although I have left messages that I would like to speak with him regarding a medication reaction.

Done… and Done! – Nov 04, 2021

I have had nothing but good experiences as a patient of Dr. Lombardo. He has managed a rather complex pattern of pain I have to deal with, and has been very effective. He is professional and kind. When I see him for in-office visits I almost never have to wait for more than a few minutes. He has been very available online during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This doctor is a bad guy. Performed one surgery that put me in more pain than I've ever been in and then just prescribed medications to blanket the pain without actually trying to fix my back. Then charged me full price to tell me he wouldn't see me anymore. Horrible practice and i would never recommend him to anyone i know.

dr lombardo believes that destroyed ligaments in knees and advanced osteoarthritis and the pain involved do not warrant narcotics. instead of supporting surgery to fix the issue and eliminate the need for pain meds, he suggests tylenol. dr lombardo seems more motivated by receiving money than making rational medical decisions.

Dr. Ken in Hollywood, ca – Oct 18, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lombardo?
I called Dr. Lombardo's office two weeks ago to make an appointment for my brother. I was specifically told that the office was taking new patients and that I should have my brother's medical records sent to their office, and then they would call me immediately upon receiving the records and schedule an appointment. When the records were faxed to their office they then called my brother's former dr. and said that Dr. Lombardo was not accepting new patients.
