I made an appt via Zocdoc on Weds for Fri. The office called on Thurs to confirm my appt, which I did. Then called me again on Fri AM to confirm my appt “from 11:30-11:45”. I told them I confirmed over the phone yesterday & asked if the appt was only 15 mins? They said oh no, we can’t say how long ur appt will be, it depends what you’re being seen for. I drove an hour to the office in Playa Vista from my home. When I arrived they announced my appointment would be a telemed appt…I asked why did I drive in for a tele-appt. The office asst seemed apologetic & said “that’s a good question” & referred me to her boss, the “office mgr” who spoke in a condescending manner about how I “wouldn’t understand the language” for why I needed to come in. I agreed to the appt since I was already there then suddenly she mentioned they had an avail at 2pm to be seen in person. I said no I’d rather have my 11am. They proceeded to lie for over two hours to get me to stay & wait in the exam room until 2pm.

Thank you Dr. Franz for saving my back, the injection helped alot and the pain has gone way down since then. I am gonna be coming back if I feel it again. I've never dealt with a better doctor then you

Dr. Gliederer is the only pain doctor that i've gone to where I wanna come back. He has a way with explaining your condition/issues to you without being condescending and answering your questions/follow up questions. I had a problem with my spine/back post accident and he basically removed the pain for me. I feel so much better.

Doctor spent his time to explain everything to me and administered my treatment for my nerve. I've never had a doctor that actually cares enough about a patient to spend that much of their time answering questions while also being a magician with treating me.
Thank you Dr. I will never forget it! And sammy at the front thank you!

Okay I am gonna try to be as honest as possible.
the wait time was initially not great, but Dr. Franz is a great doctor. Very kind, he actually cared about my problems and wasn't just there for any other reason. I was diagnosed by him and we did a pain rating. My Back pain got better after his treatment in the first day, I haven't had any problems so far. I have a follow up soon and I am so thankful..
Thank you!

Generally was a great experience with Dr. Gliederer. I have had backl pain for a few years that went untreated and finally decided to get some professional to take a look, what was perfect is the Dr accepted my insurance which I was surprised about.
I was evaluated by Dr Franz and I rated my pain 7/10 since it was bugging me so much, he did a non invasive treatment w injection on me and it mad me feel so much better.
office room is also nice and waiting room had drinks. Good experience imo and thank you to Dr. Franz for that!

Okay so Dr. Franz is a great doctor. Unironically one of the best pain doctors i've dealt with in years (and i've dealth with A TON) of pain doctors.
He actually listens. Not the fake BS kind of listening from other doctors, but the kind where he asks thoughtful follow-up questions, remembers details from previous visits, and truly seems invested in figuring out what’s going on. His knowledge of pain management is extensive, and he combines that expertise with real compassion. He explained my options clearly without talking down to me, adjusted my treatment plan based on how I was actually feeling (not just what the numbers said), and gave me realistic hope without false promises.
I was put on a treatment plan w injections I really liked the epidural injection I got from him. It feels like a miracle pill. I have seen a measurable improvement in my day-day life.
I finally feel like I have a partner in this instead of just another gatekeeper. I am so grateful to Dr. Gliederer

Excellent service from this provider, I would recommend them. Great listener offered sound recommendations. Very knowledgeable. Also actually taught me about my condition and did a treatment plan where I came in for back pain management.

YOU HAVE TO GO TO DR FRANZ and why. I been suffering from severe lower back pain for three years since 2022. The pain was so bad I could barely walk more than a 2minutes without shooting pain down my leg. I saw multiple doctors in West LA but they rushed me and made me feel like I was exaggerating.Franz was completely different. When he reviewed my MRI he pointed out the LARGE HERNIATED DISC AT L5-S1 with significant compression. He recommended TWO EPIDURAL INJECTIONS. He took his time explaining everything and answered my questions with patience and care. The staff was wonderful too. A knowledgeable PA sat w me before both and made sure I was comfortable.After the second epidural difference was night/day. I went from pain medication daily and not sleeping to walking good, driving without discomfort, and playing with my kids again. I AM SO THANKFUL for Dr Franz. He treated me with real respect and compassion. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO TO DR FRANZ. He is the BEST pain doctor I seen.

I came here after a back injury. I cannot recommend Dr. Gildierere enough, I was given a comprehensive evaluation for my pain and I rated it 1-10. Following this I was treated by the doctor w a pain procedure and I feel so much better.
Thank you, Dr. Gliedere and the team here! I actually appreciate it.sAydub

Wait time was a bit much but the provider helped me w my Sciatica and I went to physical therapy but didn’t works so I came to dr Franz and after my appointments and procedure I fee better.
Less than 1 month agoBJ
Reception never informed me about cancellations. I understand needing to reschedule but the fact that it was back to back without any warning and having me waste time to go to the location just to be told the doctor wasn’t available was inconsiderate. Would not revisit nor recommend.
