Navid Alem, MD's Online Review Report Card

VERY EFFICIENT OFFICE

Was a good visit quick and to the point.

I have been a patient at UCI's Pain Management Clinic since 2010. Dr. Alem is an exemplary doctor and a compassion professional. The treatments and care I receive from him have alleviated pain and provided me with an enhanced quality of life. Truly life changing care!

I love Dr Alem! He is kind and patient and explains things very well. He is very down to earth and relatable. He has helped me so much.

Dr. Alem is a very kind and caring doctor with a great bedside manner. He has helped me significantly to manage the severe level of pain I was in. I highly recommend him because he listens and creates a treatment plan to make his patients better and I’m so appreciative that he’s my doctor!

I was treated by Dr. Navid Alem on 8/30/22 for Chronic pain in my lower back and severe headaches. The staff at Pain Management at UCI in Orange where I am a patient are true professionals and I am being treated with the utmost compassion. Dr. Brent Yeung and Dr. Navid Alem have my full confidence going forward.

Would continue seeing him.

I have suffered neck and back pain since 1966 during Viet Nam. The test procedures preformed over the past 3-months by Dr. Alem and associates have been successful in eliminating my neck pain.

This doctor will never lift a finger to help if you are in pain. He said my chronic pain would "melt away" if I got off the (what HE called) high doses of prescription opioids I had been on for thirty years. I did well on them, but had to drive a long way to one of the few remaining doctors who continued, out of compassion, to prescribe them. So I tapered the drugs down, with unnecessary agonies because he would not prescribe the opioids which would have made the process painless, until I was taking none at all. He then gave me a drug which my insurance would not pay for as I was never addicted, only dependent, and the drug is only rated for assistance in opioid addiction treatment, not chronic pain. It has been weeks and I am in terrible pain, confined to bed, whereas on opioids I was active and productive! His advice? Go to someone else: I'll send you a list of doctors. He send it - by postal mail, not caring, as usual, how much or long I suffered. I never received it.

Dr. Alem is one of the best, kindest doctors I have had experience with. He the best with diagnosis and treatment. The first time I took my wife to see him, my wife was in so much pain she was crying and couldn't walk, in the waiting room she was in a fetal position. After Dr. Alem treated her she is back to her normal self. He is so kind that he has followed up to make sure my wife is doing good. If you are dealing with pain Dr. Alem is your guy.Thank you Dr. Alem!!

He is a genuinely nice and caring person and I have great confidence in his ability and knowledge of current procedures. His assistant Dr. Amina is also very nice. I highly recommend Dr. Navid, he is an amazing doctor, human being. He's very knowledgeable, caring, professional, a great teacher and listener, I never felt rushed.
