Jeffrey B Glaser, MD

Very very bad experience. The office people are dishonest. Do not give out your credit card, otherwise watch out!!!

Dr. Glaser is fantastic. He is very knowledgable and full of empathy and energy! The office staff is amazing. They are truly very sweet, very informative, and exactly what every medical office needs. No rudeness what so ever. Look forward to actually not coming back because my pain is almost gone. Thanks for not being medication pushy like most pain doctors now a days. You are awesome!

Dr. Glaser and his staff are always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I struggle with chronic migraines, and Dr. Glaser provided me with immense relief. Not only is he skilled at giving injections (both trigger-​point and Botox), but he also takes the time to discuss and explain medication & treatment options. Glaser is a very empathic doctor, who treats his chronic pain patients with dignity and respect– two things often not seen at other pain offices. The staff is also amazing. If there was ever an issue with a medication or needing to get an appointment ASAP, Raquel was and is always available to help. When dealing with chronic pain, you need a doctor’s office that is capable of working with other doctors and pharmacies, and that is exactly what the Glaser Pain Institute does. I drive from a ways away to see Dr. Glaser. He’s worth hours in LA traffic. I am so thankful I found the Glaser Pain Institute. Thank you for all you have done, Dr. Glaser and all who work in his great office!

I have had pain management issues for over 16 years. Over this time period, I have seen probably every pain doctor in the Southern California area and none of them even come close to what Dr. Glaser has to offer. He is the most knowledgeable pain doc in the field. His approach to diagnosing and proposing solutions to his patients pain problems are thorough, creative, sensitive, take into consideration the patients medical history, behavior issues, and is holistic in nature. He thinks out of the box, is on top of all the latest information in his field and considers and applies whatever the latest and greatest technology is in the field to address your pain problems. Go no further… he is your answer to your pain management issues. I have never had to see another pain doctor since I first saw him 7 years ago. Joan

Dr. Jeffrey Glaser is at the top of medical professionals I have been fortunate to experience for treatment. Very serious and to the point, but full of personality. He zero’d in on my pain management situation immediately and within 3 to 4 weeks I was on my way to a fantastic recovery. Always there to answer my questions and oversee my progress, Dr. Glaser was very strong in his guidance. I sincerely recommend him to anyone with pain, medication or therapy issues.

This guy is all about the $$$$. Fancy office and all about his fee verses helping someone in pain… Run and find anyone else.

I was referred to Dr. Glaser by a close friend that has similar issues with his cervical and lumbar spine, and after years of taking a medication to assist me in tolerating the pain I went to him in hopes of getting off all medication. Probably, not realistic in my case, but worth a shot I thought. I had three visits to his office and I don’t know why, but he never gave me a plan of action to follow through. There was a discussion regarding a spinal stimulation implant, but it never got completed. I was sent to a surgeon and returned to his office with the results of the tests, which indicated the surgeon wanted to operate on both my neck and lower back to alleviate the pain and radiation going down into my lower limbs. However, Dr. Glaser felt this was a bit drastic, so I decided to seek yet another opinion with professionals at Cedars Sinai, and they were in agreement with Dr. Glaser — I was not a good candidate for disc replacement surgery because of severe disc degeneration. I have already had two levels replaced and fused in C-​4/​5 and C-​5/​6 in 2006, but the pain persists. I know I have bone spurs and herniation in my lumbar region, so I felt the doctor could go in and clear that up to rid me of this pain. Unfortunately, due to a loss of employment that caused a change of insurance I was no longer able to continue seeing Dr. Glaser. It is my hope that when I become employed in the future I will be able to return to him for relief of pain. He seems knowledgeable and compassionate and his staff is wonderful. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone that is having an issue with pain management. By the way, his fees are a lot more reasonable than I expected and even more reasonable than other doctors I have seen. I had concerns about providing the office with my credit card for billing purposes, and he took the time to explain the reason for having to provide this information to the office. At no time did they take advantage of billing me for services rendered. I appreciate his straight-​forwardness. You will need to be used to computers and using Email and his website to communicate and receive receipts, appointment confirmations, etc.

Good morning all. I just had a procedure done by Dr Glasier. I love this man. We laughed and joked and I was out. I know it’s going to take a minute to see if it worked to alleviate my pain but Glasier is the man.

Great great doctor! His staff is extremely nice and the doctor himself is super nice and knowledgable. As a patient with different and puzzling medical issues, he really took the time to let me he understood. He is extremely well rounded and smart! I’d encourage anyone to go see him!
The office itself is the most soothing experience! It’s like stepping into a spa.

Again, I would like to reiterate that this doctor is thorough!
The three epidural shots plus physical therapy (Core in Studio City) have been amazing.
My favorite part is their upfront disclosure of fees. We knew the shots in the surgery center would not be covered by the insurance, but they were reasonable compared to our previous doctor and the surgery center was a pleasant experience.
This doctor is the real deal!

Dr. Glaser is a gifted healer. Absolutely the best. He has offered options for migraines that NOBODY ever offered before. The offices are beautifully done and create a «spa like», soothing ambiance, which is important when your clientele are suffering from pain — especially chronic pain. Everyone is very professional. The rooms are immaculate. Most importantly, Dr. Glaser is on top of all cutting edge pain treatments. He takes time with every patient and is able to remember personal details that are imperative when treating chronic pain. He is very bright, very energetic. He is always compassionate and empathic — a rare combination in ANY physician these days! We drive a long way to see him, and it is worth every terrifying moment flying down the 101FWY during rush hour! Thank you Dr. Glaser for working so diligently to be the best you can be —

Dr Glaser is an AMAZING Doctor! Bright! Great bedside manner…
2 years ago I had severe pain in my neck…3 visits… BOOM…no more pain.
Recently I developed back issues. I figured Dr Glaser helped me with my neck let’s give him a shot at my back. This time 2 visits and I can walk!!!
Wow is all I can say…
I love this man!!!

I heard a lot about the Dr but unfortunately he does not honour my PPO United health care insurance. Real sad

Dr Glaser is amazing! He listens, but direct, cares about the patient and wants me to feel better and thinks out of the box. His staff always have a smile on their face, when you call the office they greet you very kindly and are always willing to help, not what you find in most offices these days. Dr Glasers office has a great system where you can always get information on the internet about your visit, email him questions (which he responds to in a timely manner) and see your medical data if needed. I have referred many people to this office and will continue to do so.

I have been a patient of Dr. Glaser for well over one year now. I’ve had a positive experience each time I see him – his bedside manner is professional, knowledgeable and understanding and THOROUGH. Dr. Glaser knows his craft and goes the extra mile. I could #swear each time I see him and attempt to describe my latest issues that he’s already three steps ahead of me. He is super strong with his notes – if my insurance is dragging their feet, he represents my issues strongly, sufficient to cordon their attention in order to get cracking on future approvals. His staff are all smiles, professional, smart and let’s not deny it, easy to look at. Last but not least, he never gives up attacking my issues until we see results. Oh, and one more thing – I love his website – it’s set up so that I can easily see my history with him down to the last detail, plus it contains a «patient portal» by which I can contact him directly. I am grateful to have found him

I have been a patient of Dr. Glaser’s since 2011. His care and expertise are exemplary. I was originally referred to him following my first cervical spine fusion. My continuing pain and other issues were unmanageable and Dr. Glaser worked with me to get all under control. While I did take pain medication, it was for a finite period of time as he was able to perform other procedures that alleviated my pain. Such a wonderful thing for me, since I do not like taking medication if I can avoid it. Following two other spine surgeries with another one the horizon, I am again working with Dr. Glaser to manage the severe chronic pain I deal with daily. He is thorough and compassionate in his approach. He works with me to alleviate pain via various methods, not just pain medications. It is such a gift to have a busy pain specialist take the time and care enough to help me find solutions that work for my specific situation and needs.
I highly recommend Dr. Glaser — he is an outstanding physician with a level of expertise that is unrivaled. In addition to his excellent care, his staff are incredible! I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Glaser.

Dr Glaser has been so amazing and caring about finding a solution for my pain! He is an incredible Doctor and his staff are so wonderful, I really feel hope that he will find the way to get my back on my feet again.

I’d have to provide a mixed review. It’s evident Dr. Glaser pretty much knows his stuff and was in fact quite competent in doing an epidural injection for a long term condition I’ve had. But in the follow up appointment, he seemed rather rushed and seemed to overrule my concern that the epidural wasn’t that successful after all and quickly dismissed my point that possibly surgery might be necessary, something he himself brought up in my first visit I’d had weeks before (which shouldn’t necessarily be a problem since minimally invasive surgery might work but he just dismissed the idea without elaborating).
At a later date, Dr. Glaser contacted me as a follow up. I was grateful for the feedback and the observation that my problem wasn’t originally what we considered it to be… a spine connected issue. So, I’m returning for consultation with the head/​neck specialist following an additional MRI to hopefully pinpoint the cause for chronic neck pain.

I give 3 stars because he was great with my son.
Otherwise, I would give ONE. I showed up to Encino Outpatient Surgery Center for my son to have surgery and was handed paperwork stating I had been previously notified that I was choosing an out-​of-​network facility. This was not true. I was never notified. In fact, my son’s Dr’s office told me I would be charged at 90% benefit level, which is my in-​network fee. However, the facility AND Dr. Glaser did NOT honor that. He charged me out of network fees, when my insurance has a contract with him and the facility for in-​network fees.

Dr Glaser is an incredible doctor. I have had leg pain for almost a year and I got a recommendation from my primary physician to see Dr Glaser. I am so happy to say that I am now pain free because of Dr Glaser!!! He really cares!
