Simon Dardashti, MD

Dr. Simon Dardashti is a double board-certified pain medicine physician and anesthesiologist who evaluates and treats patients with acute and chronic pain conditions. Raised in Encino in the San Fernando Valley, he now serves patients in Mission Hills, the San Fernando Valley, and surrounding Los Angeles communities.

His clinical work focuses on careful diagnostic evaluation—identifying the most likely source of pain—and reviewing relevant history, symptoms, examination findings, imaging, prior treatment response, and patient goals. He evaluates spine-related pain, neck pain, low back pain, radicular pain, neuropathic pain, joint pain, sacroiliac joint pain, persistent pain after injury or surgery, and complex chronic pain conditions.

Dr. Dardashti's approach emphasizes clear communication and shared decision-making. He discusses reasonable treatment options with patients so they can make informed decisions that fit their symptoms, goals, preferences, and overall clinical situation. Treatment options may include conservative care, medication-based strategies, image-guided injections, epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), peripheral nerve blocks, trigger point injections, joint, bursa, and tendon injections, and spinal cord stimulation evaluation when clinically appropriate.
