Paul S. Ji MD

He got pricey. Good guy thought. Likes his watches. Wish he still took my insurance!!!

Rude stuff.
Upon the visit they confirmed that they take my insurance. However, they sent the bill later. When I called the office to clarify this matter Daniel after a rough few words hang up on me.

I have never reviewed a doctor before but after meeting Dr. Ji, I felt I had to!
He is AMAZING! His bedside manner is probably the best I’ve ever encountered.
Before you even get your shot you meet his intake administrator, who is a therapist. She is wonderful as well.
When he takes you into the room where your procedure will take place, he has a long conversation with you about your condition, possible causes, prognosis. No question is a dumb question.
As he is performing the procedure, he verbally walks you through it every step of the way. I was nervous as my epidural was happening but his demeanor and explanation put me at ease.
I highly recommend Dr. Ji to anyone who needs pain management.

Dr. Ji is such a caring and wonderful doctor and is extremely knowledgeable in pain medicine. I have been to many pain specialists in the past an he far exceeds anyone I have previously seen.
Dr. Ji is a very patient man who explains the entire procedure for you so you understand what he can do to help your pain and will answer any questions you have, never making you feel rushed or unimportant. Not only is he a fantastic doctor he is an awesome person who truly cares about his patients.
I have never rated a doctor before but felt Dr. Ji deserves recognition for being such a great pain specialist. Do yourself a favor if you are hurting — see Dr. JI!

Dr. Ji is wonderful! He was very patient and explained everything to me. All it takes to put someone at ease. He knows how to do it. thank you so much. please don’t change. patients greatly appreciate this.
he treats you very gently. I hardly felt any pain! highly recommend him
the staff: everyone was really really lovely. the lady at the front desk was a little strict. scared me a bit :-) BUT still very nice. the psychologist who interviewed me first day was very professional and friendly. and both technicians were very nice.
they took me in promptly. no delays. good place to go, because they treat you well.

He’s fabulous. If you have a referral and your MRI and other data in order, he will work on you same day. Terrific doctor. I found tremendous relief with him. BTW, he also has back problems, so he’s quite familiar on a personal level with pain management :)

Dr. Ji is wonderful caring pain management Physician, he really cares. The injections in my neck helped tremendously and there was absolutely no pain involved. He explains what he is doing as the procedure is done. And it is so fast you can go on your lunch hour. The two assistants that are in the room with you help you to relax and cancel out all fears, if you have any, I did not. But… if you’re out of network and you have to pay up front… look out, you have to chase the bookkeeper for months to get paid back as insurance company’s send the check to him. She’s a horror.

I have been seeing many pain management doctors, surgeons, neurologists, etc… for the past three years after a C4-​C5 fusion and post surgery sciatica, among other things and have a degenerative lower lumbar. I had my surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery.
Beyond Dr. Ji being an outstanding doctor, he actually cares and will guide you through recovery including calling other doctors if he feels you need to see them. He is consultative about options, impact, and always makes sure you are doing okay. He is a class above and as great as they come. For anyone suffering, that’s all you need and want. Thanks Dr. Ji.

Dr Ji is one in a million. So caring to his patients compared to others. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I had been to many other Pain mgmt doctors previously that were horrible and he was so refreshing. He actually tries to figure out issues and not just do epideurals as so many had previously done. He is a wonderful doctor.

I get neck injections for two herniated disks from Dr, Ji, and while I’m pretty tough the thought of the needle made me nervous and panicked the first time. He was thoughtful and assuring without being mushy or dishonest about what I would feel which I respected. When I went for the procedure the first time, I actually panicked and backed out and both the staff and doctor were kind and did not make me feel self-​conscious. They did not pressure me and said they would wait until I was more comfortable. I eventually went and it wasn’t that bad. During procedures, he lets you know what he is doing and when. He also gives you calm warnings about when you will feel the coolness of cleaning fluid or slight pricks from a needle. It all makes an uncomfortable procedure bearable. I highly recommend him, especially if you are nervous about a particular procedure.

Awesome Doctor!
I suffer from scoliosis and spondylothesis and I’ve gone to him a few times already and I could say the injections that I’ve gotten had helped me a lot.
I also had referred him my Supervisor from work who also suffers from back pain and it has helped her too.

I suffer from an incurable, essentially untreatable spinal disorder — idiopathic scoliosis — which I began developing in early puberty, and became more and more severe as it worsened unchecked by any treatment. When I stopped growing, it seemed to halt in its progression, leaving me 5 inches short of my natural (genetic) height, were my spine straight. However, it did worsen noticeably over the past several years, accompanied by growing chronic pain.
The past two years the pain has been severe enough to limit my employment options, and in the past two weeks I have been nearly crippled without constant medication. However, the meds I have been using are far from ideal, and not sufficient for my level of pain. After weeks without adequate sleep, I knew I had to make a drastic change, and thus I sought out a pain specialist.
A fellow LiveJournaler recommended this doctor to me, describing him as ‘young and progressive’, and I couldn’t agree more. I liked him immediately; he has an upfront but friendly attitude, he’s efficient AND thorough, and his knowledge and treatment options appear to be very logically and medically sound. I described my history and current medications and he worked with me and my preferences to suggest multiple treatment routes.
Because there is no cure for my underlying condition, and my pain is likely to only increase as I age, he stressed that I will probably require lifelong medication in order to be pain-​free, or at least live some sort of less physically horrible existence. He suggested I try a more conservative approach first — always wise, IMO, when it comes to all things but especially medicine, and particularly in the treatment of pain — and that we could try more serious options later if I did not respond.
I left with a prescription accompanied by a detailed, logical and well– explained dosing regimen, a follow-​up appointment in two weeks, and best of all, for the first time in ages — a feeling of hope.
