Akash Bajaj, MD, MPH

I severely injured my back in Aug 2014 while doing Pilates (?!). I chose Dr. Bajaj from Unilocal,combined with how easily I was able to make an appointment there. I was pretty stressed about not knowing what was happening to my body but the office staff and Dr. Bajaj were very welcoming and helpful.
I had back surgery twice last year and a series of injections, and sometimes it feels better, but I still generally have ongoing back pain — which Dr. Bajaj is very proactive and openly communicating to my other doctors/​surgeons about what the next options are. I truly feel like he is on a mission to get me to the lowest (and consistently lowest) level of pain possible.
In the year and a half that I have been going to remedy pain solutions, I have never had any issues or problems administratively. The office runs very smoothly, which is VERY reassuring when you are dealing with pain.

Dr Akash has been very attentive in Addressing my concerns.
The poor front desk reception is not a reflection of his practice, but of the Broadway surgical institute.
My mom has been feeling better as a result of the procedures by Dr Akash. continued treatment will be required to manage my mothers pain, something I did not initially understand and was incorrectly presented in my first review. I apologize. Now that I have a better understanding of the process, I have had nothing but a great experience. Dr. Akash has very vividly explained the expectations of the medical procedures at hand. My moms pain is now manageable thanks to the attention of Dr. Akash. He has and been has been compassionate and attentive throughout the entire process.
Dr Akash has explained his procedure very throughly and I look forward to his continued treatment. He has promptly handled my frustrations with the Broadway surgical institute with the upmost professionalism.

If you have pain, Dr Bajaj is your guy. To get rid of it, I mean ;)
I have struggled with migraines for 18 years – he got RID of them in 2 visits over 3 months. THREE MONTHS!!! That is quite literally astounding. Astonishing. AMAZING! He has a lovely bedside manner, he is gentle and listens to you. Oh, and he’s hot.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bajaj for sometime now and he is such an amazing doctor. His bedside manner is fantastic and his team is always so welcoming. I have had two PRP injections by him which has been one of the only treatments that has helped me. I remember the 1^st time I went to see him after many bad experiences with other doctors and within seconds I knew that God had blessed me with the best doctor on Earth. I was in so much pain I could barley walk and now I am traveling and managing my pain enough to live a happy and enjoyable life.
I just want to thank you Dr. Bajaj for giving me my life back and I would like thank Goli as well. Thank you to the Remedy Pain Solutions team for always making me feel welcome. Michelle and Diego you two always put a smile on my face.
If anyone needs a good pharmacist please go see Sri downstairs she is amazing.

I had a Reconstruction Tendon Interposition on my Left Thumb last December. WITHOUT Dr. Bajaj. It has been 9 months of Pain, Nerve damage, & Pyrogenic Granuloma that had to be treated 3 times. I’ve tried Acupuncture, numerous P.T. professionals, & Deep Tissue work (Best result). I was extremely anxious about the same surgery on my Right thumb. Dr. Bajaj prepared me with his pre-​surgery protocol, & I had the same surgery as last December. It has been a miracle! I had a few days of discomfort, but total antithesis of last time. My recovery is inconvenient, but not painful-​no Drugs after a week! I had the same Surgeon, Anesthesiologist, Nurse, Surgery Center, etc. Duplicate… except Recovery. Dr. Bajaj was the only variable. He is now treating my Left Thumb. If you are considering Surgery-​DR. BAJAJ FIRST!

I have been a patient of Dr. Bajaj for approximately a year. Unfortunately, I had a GI surgery and a nerve was accidentally injured. He has been kept me pain free. Sometimes, I do feel pain but is due to the fact that I suffer from chronic pancreatitis:(.Also, he has helped with my chronic migraines using Botox. His PA Christine and his staff are amazing. I normally go to his office in Santa Monica.
Thank you Dr. Bajaj and staff.

It is with great pleasure that I write this review. I was in extreme sciatic nerve pain when I arrived to see Dr Bajaj in February of this year. 5 months later he has done an excellent job not only in managing the pain but in getting me almost completely pain free on a daily basis. His office staff are efficient and polite. I would strongly recommend this doctor to anyone who needs to relieve their pain. He is extremely knowledgable and effective at what he does.

Dr Bajaj and his staff are excellent. Dr Bajaj’s kindness and knowledge has been instrumental in helping through two spine surgeries! He is truly one of the most caring doctors I have been two.

i went to Doctor Bajaj for my back pain. I was very impressed by him for giving me the right medications and caused my pain to pretty much disappear. His office employees were very helpful and i appreciated all the things he did for me to make me feel no pain from my back. i will go to him again and recommend everyone with any kind of pain to go to him.

This review is for Dr. Bajaj’s office — I do not know Dr Bajaj personally. I am taking the time to write this review about his office because his office is very unprofessional. We reached out to Dr. Bajaj’s office after hours on 2 different occasions — and had Dr. Bajaj paged as well as one of his assistants. Not only did we NOT receive a phone call back in the evening or over the weekend — we did not get a phone call back during their office hours. We had him paged for very important reasons — we left him a voice message for him to hear… and received no response at all. Very disappointing — and terrible when you or someone you love is dealing with intense pain from a surgery. If you have an opportunity to go to a different pain management office — we highly recommend that you do so. Good luck!

I had an issue with a certain joint. I came in, chatted with Bajaj for a bit to discuss my injury, and ever the voice of confidence, he assured me that a shot would fix my condition. I asked about physical therapy as an alternative, and he said, something like, oh, that’ll take months, this is pretty much instant. I was slightly suspicious, especially given how he kept calling me «bro,» (not lying). I get the shot, it numbs the pain for a couple days, and then my condition returned just as it was before.
On the follow up visit, Bajaj did not even see me — his PA did. She was pretty pointless — it came down to «oh you’re still injured? Go get an MRI, and then you can get a plasma rich platement (PRP) treatment.» The office nagged me to schedule the MRI right then and there, and I refused. The office shared my number with the MRI center, and I got a call from them a day or two after, and I again refused to Schedule an MRI. I would not be surprised if the MRI center was writing checks to this office for every patient referred.
I did a little googling on PRP, and it turns out to be a questionable treatment. Regardless, it just felt a like endless spiral of medical treatments whose only real outcome was vaccuuming money out of my wallet. And I got a bill for the pointless shot for $ 200, which of course I was not forewarned of.
Had I been forewarned of that charge, and been given a more measured assessment (not «hey bro, this will fix you up»), I would not be writing this one star review. As for all the other five star reviews, who knows, maybe Bajaj gives them the meds they want. For what it’s worth, this has been my most negative experience with a doctor so far. I’ve had inattentive and dismissive doctors before, but they never quite hustled me.

I have been struggling with a shoulder injury since I was young and had surgery to deal with the issue. I saw Dr. Bajaj to see what he could do to help the arthritis and pain in my shoulder along with the surgery I was having. Dr. Bajaj and his staff came up with a great treatment plan and I saw results in the 1^st 30 days of my 1^st appointment.
The office is clean, the people are friendly and the doctor and staff are extremely knowledgeable. It’s been a long time since I have gone to a doctor’s office and seen people who love what they are doing. Most doctor’s offices are miserable and they try to rush you out as fast as possible. With Remedy Pain Solutions, they take their time, the people are super friendly and I felt like they really cared about making sure my issues were dealt with.
The office also runs very efficiently and I didn’t even have to wait a long time to see the doctor. I was seen within 10 minutes of arriving at the office. I cannot state enough how impressed I was with Dr. Bajaj and everyone in the office. You can tell that they truly love what they are doing and care about their patients. I highly recommend Remedy Pain Solutions!

I will make this plain and simple… This is the best pain specialist in Los Angeles, period. If you are pain medicine shopping, please do those of us who actually have serious chronic pain and need Dr. Bajaj’s time and help and go somewhere else. He is not an idiot either so your not getting past him anyway! HIs staff is amazing, the best support staff for any physician I have I ever been to. Christine is amazing as well!!! This is the best… Thank you Dr. B!!! We appreciate you!

I went to Dr. Bajaj over a year ago with severe back pain. He took the time to personally find the best treatment for me. I’m now feeling better than i have in 10 years. His staff remembers everything and are so compassionate!!! I would recommend anyone who needs pain management.

So according to other reviews Dr. Bajaj spends a lot of time getting to know patients and finding a good treatment plan. This was not the case for me. I was mainly seen by a PA. Dr. Bajaj would come in the room for literally 1 minute and agree then leave. In my two trips to the office I have seen him for less than 5 minutes. I wouldn’t mind too much but I traveled 45 minutes to see him.
He may be a nice guy but I have no idea if he’s a great doctor.

Dr. Bajaj and his team of specialists have truly changed my life. Due to a snowboarding accident which resulted in a spinal injury, I suffered chronic, excruciating and physically crippling pain for nearly 5 years. When I was finally able to secure medical insurance through my husband, I began a rigorous program of physical therapy, chiropractic and orthopedic care. The progress was slow however, because I was still in so much pain we were inching forward at a snails pace. Physical therapy required intense scar tissue removal, and my entire spine needed to slowly repositioned-​all of which was extremely painful. I could hardly stand it. And my nervous system had already taken such a beating over the years (before being treated) that i would go into depressions, experience flashbacks, and sleep left me sweating from the nightmares. These were all just side effects from the new pains associated with the healing process, which I had to learn how to bear if I wanted to get better.
I was afraid of taking prescription medication, due to a previous boyfriends addiction to prescription medication. I had watched him destroy his life. I vowed never to be dependent on anything. But it was clear I needed help in order to be able to heal properly.
I went to Dr. Bajaj under extreme resistance, and from the beginning, it was clear that this was EXACTLY where I needed to be. Everyone was so kind, upbeat, caring and helpful! Every single member of his team was attentive qnd professional. I instantly felt at ease, and my worry over the stigma of receiving and pursuing pain meds quickly subsided. He and his staff were all so knowledgeable. I instantly became excited. I knew this was going to help.
All of my questions were answered and they did a thorough evaluation to assess my needs. They discussed and created a customized medication régime, involving me the whole time, which addressed every single element of my pain. They even assisted with pain solutions for my intensive physical therapy sessions & my atlas adjustments, prescribing a gentle muscle relaxer to help my body rest and heal following treatment. I was especially thrilled with some of the topical anti-​immflamatories, which cut down on the oral medications and opiates.
Lastly, my primary concern was becoming addicted to these medications. My worries were completely put to rest. Despite needing to take several opiates to manage my pain effectively, everything was done with slow release medications that even out the pain treatment and eliminate the «high», (i.e. the ups and downs) which lead people to become heavily dependent. I could not be more thrilled!
Within the first week, I began to feel it. My ENERGY went up like crazy! My productivity at work increased by about 80%. It was mind blowing! I wasn’t so wiped out from the pain, which used to have me in bed by 9pm every single night. I began to feel like my old self, pre-​accident. I was able to be a better wife, a better friend, and a better daughter to my family, all simply because I wasnt seeing and experiencing the world through the dragging filter or pain– and
the fight against depression and hopelessness that was my daily companion.
Today, I about 70% towards my goal of complete health. I am out of my wheelchair and out of the house, even starting nto party and bike ride. I recently launched my own corporation. I have never felt so happy in my life.
Pain is a terrible and slowly defeating thing. If you or someone you love is in pain all the time, know that there are solutions, solutions that won’t turn people into zombies or addicts too. I am so incredibly grateful to have been referred to Remedy Pain Solutions. Again, they have truly changed my life. If you want a complete solution with a wonderful support team, I cannot recommend Dr. Bajaj and his team enough.;) — Cristina M.

Before I went to see Dr. Bajaj and his practice, I was really struggling to find someone who could help me. My disease was hard to control and I was having a hard time finding the right doctors to help me. I finally found Remedy Pain Solutions and my Rhemy Dr. Tromme. Dr. Bajaj worked with my Rhemy and helped get my quality of life back to normal.
Dr. Bajaj and his staff are absolutely the BEST! They are friendly and go out of their way to listen to you, your problems and how to help you. Dr. Bajaj and the group of doctors, nurses and staff truly care and make sure they listen to you and treat your issues until they are resolved or manageable.
I am so used to doctors coming in and spending 5 minutes with you and rushing out of the room to the next patient that I was absolutely shocked when Dr. Bajaj and the nurse practitioner took as much time as needed to listen to my issues.
Every time I go in for follow up appointments, they always remember my issues and take as much time as needed to listen to me and treat me properly. I have never felt rushed or my concerns or problems dismissed.
On top of the service, Dr. Bajaj and his staff are the most knowledgeable group of people I have ever dealt with related to their practice. I have a very rare condition and was absolutely surprised at their level of knowledge and willingness to learn and treat me.
It is so difficult to find a good doctor and Dr. Bajaj is amazing. Also, the nurse practitioner I see always impress me. I have never had a bad visit or experience at their office. I cannot say enough good things about the practice and the service I get. Not only is the customer service amazing, the pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality of service you get.
You would be absolutely insane to go anywhere but to see Dr. Bajaj and his staff for pain management or anything related to pain management. I just cannot say enough about how much they have helped me regain a good quality of life.

Dr. Bajaj and his PA Sheena are my heroes. I came here in desperate pain from multiple chronic pain disorders. The team here would not give up until they found a way to make me comfortable. With a combination of medications, epidural, bracing and continued follow-​up, the fantastic people at Remedy have proven time and again that my care is what matters to them.
I can’t imagine entrusting my chronic pain to anyone else, I have recommended this office to everyone in the nonprofit I started for those with chronic illness. As a health advocate I have seen and heard so much about the horrors of pain management when it goes wrong. I’ve experienced some terrible things myself. I know good, expert, fantastic care when I see and experience it. This is the real #chronicallyawesome deal!

I had a serious car accident in late 2012 where an individual ran a red light and T-​boned me on my driver’s side. I suffered a ruptured C6, C7 and T1.
No other doctor provided the kind of care that Dr. Bajaj did for me when administering PRP treatment. If the results are half as good as the service, I will be a very happy man.
From Diego to Dr. Bajaj, the entire office is complete with professionals who know how to relieve pain swiftly and effectively through modern procedures such as PRP.
I am so thankful for the referral from Dr. Melamed and his staff. I cannot wait to feel the results from the PRP treatment and I know I am in great hands.
Thank you!

Back in 2008 I had two big back procedures done with Dr. Bajaj… now 2013, I am happy to say… I am up and running again… full steam ahead like a Mack Truck…
Now that Dr. Bajaj is in the Los Angeles area, I don’t hesitate to travel for check ups every year or so. My most recent visit was at his new office in Santa Monica.
There is hope for those of you in the entry levels of pain or ongoing pain if you are now in Dr. Bajaj’s care… I can honestly say that this is a good doctor, who cares and ACTUALLY LISTENS TO HIS PATIENTS. While I am thankful to be out of the storm with back pain, I am so glad to say back pain is a thing of the past because of him. I feel confident and assured to have Dr. Bajaj as a life preserver, just in case. Folks, if you have him as a Doctor, you are in good hands :)
