Advanced Pain Institute

I have had my neck pain over 30+ years ago. I tried physical therapy, chiropractic care, accupuncture, and was very close to undergo a 4 sections neck fusion surgery. About 10 years ago, I found Dr Minehart, and he was very patient to look at my past history and arrived at a good strategy for me to deal with the pain without going to the surgery. Although my pain hasn't gone completely, my pain is under control, and I can stay active throughout the day. Thank you Dr Minehart.

The primary reason I don't give API 5 stars is because the waiting time for appointments (especially on "triplicate day") is so difficult because the waiting room furniture is very uncomfortable, especially for those of us with back pain and mobility issues.

Cares about my overall well being, not just getting rid of my pain. He makes sure that I have the best of doctors for all my health needs. I have been with him for at least 14yrs. He has been able to link my problems to a family trait, and has helped others in my family. Helped others in my family get the proper help they need, while being in a HMO that he doesn’t take. Educated them to get the proper tests and treatment they needed, even though he could not treat them because of insurance. Trust him with my life.

I have always have had the best of treatment and Dr spent all the time I needed to explain and he spent time telling me what what treatment could be

Dr. Minehart is the best! He's such a caring Dr and you couldn't pay me to leave him. He's one of the biggest reasons that I won't move away! I love you Dr. Minehart, thanks for all that you do! Xoxo

I have only positive things to say about API's facilities/offices in Encino as well as in Arcadia. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the uncomfortable seating in the waiting rooms at both locations. I have serious issues with my back and hip, and can't stand for more than a few minutes at a time, but the waiting room in Arcadia is inadequate, and the sofa and chairs are very uncomfortable. The wait time is excessive, and it is difficult if not impossible for me to get there and back because I take Access Paratransit, and their scheduler tells you what time they'll take you there, and even more difficult is that I have to be ready for pickup for the ride back home when they tell me they'll get me. I live too far to be able to take a Lyft or Uber. The waiting room in Encino is short on chairs, and the wait time for a procedure has been a few hrs, despite the appointment being on a schedule.

I have positive things to say about the Encino location. The outpatient surgical center is comfortable for patients having procedures, once taken into pre-op, changing into a lovely light-institutional green, complete with a light blue mesh shower cap to complete the chic look that's ready for NYC Fashion Week's catwalks. I guess I should qualify my review by 'fessing up to my bit of creative writing. In all reality, the facility is kept immaculately clean, and in compliance with the CDC, State, and local regulations during the Pandemic and Epidemic. Dr Minehart and his team of professionals have always worked with each other like a "well-oiled machine". But that's as far as that metaphor is relevant. The Surgical Medical Center does not operate like an assembly line. Rather, it's a place of kindness, empathy, and caring, over and above the goal of mitigating pain at the source. (Not to mention that the Encino Medical Surgical Center has some of the best coffee around.

I've been a patient for about a decade and I must say Dr. MINEHART is the most caring Dr. He provides excellent patient care by not just treating but trying to find solutions. I would not be able to continue my daily life and work if it were not for Minehart. I also must say his staff is very kind and professional as well. Thank you so much for letting me live a somewhat normal life as possible

My appointment this time was a follow up with the doctor. My initial appointment was in 2007. I was in such back pain I couldn’t do anything. I had gone to acupuncture, no help. Dr immediate knew what was wrong. I was scheduled for a set of three shots under Anesthesia. The first shot took my pain away. After those shots I didn’t have to go back for 7 years. The next time my pain returned I didn’t have to go back for 5 years. At 60+ years I have the occasional back aches but nothing like the pain I had in 2007. So glad that I was referred to Dr. MineHart!

I’m always so impressed with how much time Dr. MineHart spends with me when discussing a plan to address what is going on with my back pain. Years ago I had four low back surgeries and I have been dealing with neuropathy and shooting pain in my back and legs. He has been a lifesaver these past 15 years. He is so attentive and determined to help me and it is very much appreciated. I also have been impressed by his staff - at the office as well as the surgery center. What a great team of professionals!
