I highly recommend Dr. Nourani. I had been experiencing chronic pain on my neck and shoulder for nearly a year. He explained in detail what I should expect from his treatments. My migraines are gone (been having them daily for months), movement on my neck has returned to somewhat normal, and chronic pain has been significantly reduced. Dr. Nourani spends time ensuring I am comfortable, listens to my feedback and makes sure to check on me post procedures. His staff is friendly, and always willing to work with me to accommodate my schedule. Glad to have found him, will recommend to anyone in a heart beat.

I had been to other doctors about my pain but none listened and just wanted to give me steroid shots. Dr. Nourani gave me hope. Not only did he listen to where my pain was coming from but could pinpoint where it is in the exam.
Verified patient
Very thorough exam. Took his time and paid attention. Had genuine sympathy for my issue and good bedside manner. Easy to tell he’s very experienced and knowledgeable. Seems to want to help people, which is good in a doctor.
Verified patient
Dr Nourani was patient and a good listener. I chose him for a consult because he has an impressive list of credentials that may be able to treat my complex chronic pain disorder. I’ve seen over 100 doctors the past 15 years and I’m very impressed how much knowledge he has about other specialties and can refer you to the best. He knows how to feel areas of dysfunction in the body through osteopathic manipulation and my severe pain felt validated. You can tell he truly wants to help you and understands the body as a whole system.
Verified patient
I have NEVER been to any medical appointment where anyone spent this much time evaluating my whole body and connecting the pieces of the puzzle together. He tested and retested my body to figure out the diagnosis. He evaluated my body as a whole and figured out issues that I hadn't even complained about. He is an absolute genius and such a great diagnostician. You can tell he loves his job. You could see the sparks flying around in his head. He is very personable. He has great bedside manner and a very warm personality. I was offered several treatment options. He used a laser and maneuvered my body to help correct the issue at hand. My muscles were ridiculously tight and he put a lot of effort into releasing them. He also kept testing and didn’t stop treatment until he was happy about the results. I definitely felt immediate relief. He also gave me suggestions for exercises and treatment to do at home and what to look for in further physical therapy. I’m definitely coming back.
Verified patient
Dr. Nourani is an AMAZING physician - he literally solved 3 different problems in 1 visit that other top LA/OC doctors failed to solve for several years. I am so grateful for his knowledge, kindness, compassion and diverse clinical skills because they have changed my life. Wow!
Dr. Nourani is Godsend! He’s a great listener and truly loves to help his patients. He has done above what is expected and has helped our daughter tremendously. I have recommended him to my friends and they’re looking forward to their visit.
Verified patient
Dr. Nourani and his competent support staff performed complex, state of the art medical procedures on my knees and made the experience efficient, professional and without remarkable pain or discomfort. It is with confidence and appreciation that I commend Dr. Nourani and his staff for any medical procedures within his realm of practice.
I fully enjoyed my visit. Dr. Nourani is extremely knowledgeable and can explain things on the patient level. My PRP treatment went smoothly and he was quite gentle. His post procedure follow up calls made me feel like he really cared about my well being and the process of my healing. I couldn’t be more satisfied! It’s been less than a week and I already feel better.
