Dr. Victor Li, MD - Pain Management in Capitola, California

“Something I learned a long time ago as far as doctors goes. A bad bedside manner does not judge how good a doctor is. They can be so focused on the task at hand, that being personable is not the priority. Quality medical care is the priority! My experience with Dr. Li is this... my first visit was very short and to the point. My procedure he was kind, but very focused, and he did his job very professionally and successfully. I would say this if you would like quality medical care, Dr Li is an excellent choice. If you're looking for a buddy to be nice to you and make you feel good about yourself,, maybe a counselor is what you are looking for? Yes... it is nice to get both but if one must go, I will keep the professionalism in medical care way over the how nice they are to me. Thank You Dr. Li.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Lee for years dealing with chronic pain. My last appointment was particularly upsetting. If you want a doctor that will treat you like you're a human, this is not your doctor. If you want a doctor with bedside manners and compassion, he's definitely not for you.He's the only doctor I've ever had where I leave feeling worse about myself than when I arrive, lately he's been particularly horrible I was immobile for 2 weeks over Thanksgiving, unable to walk or work. I came in discouraged and physically miserable. He was in and out of the office in less than 2 minutes, he was in such a rush I couldn't ask any questions. I brought up a suggestion that his PA suggested to me in the previous appointment, which he quickly disapproved of, which I found discouraging. I have been having problems with my hips, he didn't look to confirm what the issue was, wrote me a prescription for an anti inflammatory and was out of the office, I was clearly upset, and not doing well. Do not expect to spend more than 5 minutes with him, I can't believe I pay someone to treat me like that. I left the appointment feeling hopeless. I hope that he treats his other patients better than that. Such a disappointment.”

“Dr. Li is an outstanding pain specialist who has been providing procedures to bring relief from pain for my mother for years. He has always been kind and precise in his work. I read some reviews that he doesn't spend much time at the bedside, but these reviews are not accurate. He always asks if the patient has questions and listens. Dr. Li dedicates his time and talent to many hundreds of patients. Thank you, Dr. Li, for your work!”

“Saw Dr Li in the hospital for my back pain and he admitted me for four days for pain control and was very compassionate. I've gave me meds for pin to take at home. I had another episode where I fell again landing flat on my back and broke my finger the ER staff would not admit me and we're very mean to me acting like I was faking or drug seeking told me to take Tylenol and ibuprofen for my finger and back amd sent me home. I was very unhappy. Dr Li would have admitted me again and treated me right so now I am scheduling an appt to see him as a mew patient consult in his office. Will review again after office visit is done.”
