Interventional Therapy
Our interventional therapy program utilizes advanced techniques like epidural injections and nerve blocks to target specific pain sources. This approach provides immediate relief for conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, and post-injury pain while minimizing systemic side effects. Our physician-led treatments are performed with precision imaging guidance to ensure optimal placement and effectiveness.
Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP therapy harnesses the body's natural healing properties through concentrated platelet injections. This regenerative treatment accelerates tissue repair for musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions like tendonitis and osteoarthritis. Our protocol combines ultrasound guidance with customized treatment plans to maximize healing outcomes for patients seeking non-surgical solutions.
IME Services
As certified Independent Medical Examiners, we provide comprehensive evaluations for workers' compensation and personal injury cases. Our assessments follow AMA Guides standards, delivering detailed reports on injury causality, disability ratings, and treatment recommendations. Dr. Li's dual board certification ensures authoritative evaluations for legal and insurance purposes.
Medication Therapy
Our conservative medication management approach focuses on non-opioid solutions for chronic pain treatment. Through careful prescription monitoring and multi-modal therapy combinations, we address pain symptoms while minimizing dependency risks. Treatment plans integrate medication with interventional therapies for comprehensive pain control.
Rehab Programs
Customized rehabilitation programs combine physical therapy with interventional techniques to restore function after injuries. Our protocols address both acute and chronic pain conditions, incorporating evidence-based exercises and targeted treatments to improve mobility and reduce pain. Programs are tailored to individual recovery goals and medical histories.

Report
The worst doctor I have ever encountered. He is unethical and like the woman who posted below is ruthless. This man is a narcissist! He will treat you like your opinion does not matter that you are not worth listening too and not worth his time. He is MONEY HUNGRY make sure to read every paper you sign, this man will take you for a ride with no positive results. Nothing here at this office is going to give you permanent relief, it will bring you stress because when you need medication for your agonizing pain your treated as a criminal. When you need simple questions answered you still need to pay

Fantastic pain management service! Dr. Li is very thorough and smart. His staffs are attentive. I have been seeing him for past 5 years for my lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain...Dr. Li has changed my life! He is straight-forward, but professional. The office has strict policy on opioid prescription. So drug seekers/addicts stay away or you will be disappointed.

Report
The office staff was kind and helpful. They called to verify my insurance and co-pay before I showed up for my appointment. They refunded my reservation fee promptly without me asking for it. Dr. Li spent more than enough time to go over my complicated pain history and explained my conditions. I've had a few spinal injections done in the past by other pain management doctors in the area. Nobody took the time to explain what I should expect from these procedures. Dr. Li made it clear why he would do a procedure and what I should expect. I actually came to him after had received stem cell injections

Report
I had a pending worker's compensation claim that was denied. The insurance company attorney requested me to attend QME with Dr. Kevin Li. I was pretty nervous going into it. Dr. Li made the appointment easy. He explained in details what QME was about, spent more than 2 hours with me going over my injuries and my medical treatment. I was so surprised and really appreciate Dr. Li for his thorough evaluation. Frankly I have never had a doctor, within worker's comp or not spent this much time with me in an evaluation. It was refreshing to meet a doctor who still cared about the quality.

The office is easy to access, free parking in Pasadena, hard to come by, really made easy for senior like myself to get to. Dr. Kevin is sweet, but professional, always thorough and never in a rush, just great bedside manner. His staff is well-trained, the girls in the front follows protocols. Very good experience overall, compared to most other pain management office or Dr. office in general.
