## A practice built on listening.

Dr. Samimi is known for a thoughtful, deeply personalized approach to pain care. Patients travel from across Los Angeles, throughout the country, and internationally for his combination of advanced clinical expertise and exceptional bedside manner.

His practice is built on a single principle: pain should never be dismissed. Every patient deserves a physician who listens, investigates, educates, and keeps searching for solutions.

## Why listening matters.

Every patient has a unique story, and Dr. Samimi takes the time to understand not only where the pain is coming from, but how it affects mobility, sleep, mood, work, and overall well-being. Known for a warm, engaging bedside manner, he often uses anatomical models and visual explanations to help patients understand their condition and treatment options.
