Frequently Asked Questions
Our priority is to make sure that we help you address your condition as safely as possible.
What can I expect on my first visit?
All first visits to the clinic include a personal consultation and a comprehensive exam. Please bring any information about your condition, such as MRI reports, with you. Once the exam is completed, the next steps will be discussed. These may include additional studies (such as on-site X-rays), a referral to another provider, or, most likely, recommendations for care to help correct the problem.
How long is the initial visit?
We take as much time as is necessary to diagnose your condition. The first visit usually takes 45 – 60 minutes, but can take longer if your condition is more complex or if you receive treatment. If you have time constraints, please let us know prior to your visit.
Do you have same day appointments?
If we have an available space, we will get you in the same day you call. If not, we will get you in as soon as possible.
Do you take insurance?
It depends on your insurance policy. We accept PPOs that have out-of-network benefits. We do not accept HMOs or EPOs or Medicaid. Whether your insurance will cover care depends on your individual plan and its benefits and whether or not your deductible has been met. If you want, we can check your benefits before you first visit. If we are unsure of your benefits, we will let you know what cost will be associated with your first visit before your exam.
Do you have parking?
We have street parking around our building that is either free or metered at $1 per hour. We also have parking in our building, but it is more expensive. Please note that we do not validate.
Are you in my insurance network?
We are not a participating provider with any insurance network. We do accept some insurances that have PPO out-of-network benefits. Be careful making health decisions based solely on your insurance benefits. Networks dictate how doctors treat patients, what they can and can not do and how long you can see your doctor even if your condition has not resolved.
Do you specialize in sports rehabilitation?
Yes, our expert team specializes in sports rehabilitation. Wether you're a weekend warrior or pro athlete, West LA Spine and Rehab offers personalized recovery plans with sports injury rehab and kinesiology taping.

Accepted Insurance
Examples of commonly accepted insurances (If your plan is not on this list, we may still accept it – and just because it is on the list does not mean it will pay toward our services – it all depends on your specific policy.)
Why is our clinic not “in-network”
We do not want your insurance company dictating or interfering with the care you receive in our clinic. Nationwide, patient satisfaction with providers that are not contracted with insurance companies is significantly higher. This often has to do with the fact out-of-network providers place patient care, instead of insurance company cost priorities and mandates, as their primary concern.
