Diagnosed as spondylolisthesis but he didn't want to do surgery right away. We tried PT for awhile but when that didn't work, surgery was the only answer to fix my issue. I was hesitant but I shouldn't have been. Both Dr Burdi and Dr Tyler did amazing work and my nerve pain is completely gone.

    I had surgery to fuse L4 and L4 on October 9, 2025. I've…read morewaited until now (9 months) to write my review because I wanted to be sure how good my outcome is. My surgery was done by Dr. Burdi who I've determined has done a very good job. Prior to my surgery Dr. Burdi and Tyler Waldron, his PA, did X-rays and MRI's, and also treated my back pain with non-surgical methods such as physical therapy, home exercises, pain meds, and injections. I had severe instances of back pain and sciatica going back many years often times going down my leg, and I was originally treated by Dr. Evangelista. Since the many years of therapy and medicines had not resulted in significant or lasting improvement, Dr Burdi determined that I was a good candidate for surgery because X-ray and MRI images showed L4 and L5 were offset and would pinch on nerves. There were many times that I had to cancel my golf because of lower back pain. Dr. Burdi's surgery coordinator, Pat Weber, was excellent coordinating everthing and helping me with any questions. So how was surgery? I was surprised that I did not have any severe pain after surgery either from my back or from the surgery. I did have some pain, but it was not severe at all. I only took oxycodone and muscle relaxants for 4 days. Then I switched to extra strength tylenol and anti-inflammatory pills. Stitches were removed after 1 week I think. I did have a problem witih the steri-strips coming off every day because of the friction of the back brace on my shirt which kept rubbing against the steri-strips. That caused me some anxiety, but the skin healed fine. I went through physical therapy for 5 months, was careful to avoid bending, lifting, and twisting, but still had some moderate lower back pain and sciatica, although nothing severe. Dr. Burdi said it could easily take 6 months to heal, and he would order another MRI at 6 months if I still had pain. I still had some pain at 6 months, and was still taking anti-inflammatory pills 3 to 4 days/week so I did have another MRI. Dr. Burdi and Tyler evaluated the MRI and were certain the surgery was completely successful; there was adequate room around the nerves. Dr. Burdi explained that not only could it still be healing, but that I do have arthritis among the vertebrae above and below the fusion that can cause some pain, but that it was not a candidate for surgery. He referred me to Dr. Washburn for further evaluation and non-surgical treatment. In the meantime, since my MRI showed the surgery outcome was excellent, I started golfing again. I found that as long as I continued taking an anti-inflammatory pill 3 or 4 days/week, I could golf with just minor pain during and after. I was amazed and happy that I was golfing again. I did see Dr Washburn. He evaluated me and the MRI images. He said that it appeared to him that I was still healing, and some people take a year to completely heal. He recommended no further treatment, but rather to wait a couple more months to see how I feel. So since then, I have continue to feel better. I now take an anti-inflammatory pill only 1 or 2 days per week, primarily when I'm practicing golf or golfing. I still get some lower back pain at times but nothing severe. Usually after twisting by back or lifting relatively heavy stuff. I've found I also get upper back aches which I guess is a result of compensating for the reduced flexibility at the L-4/L-5 fusion and the arthritis. I am feeling good enough that I can do pretty much anything with only minor aches and pains. I am going to wait the full year, and if I'm still having pain, I will go back to Dr. Washburn for injections or ablations which are the likely next steps if needed. I am glad I had the surgery and I would highly recommend Dr. Burdi, Tyler Waldron (PA), Pat Weber (Surgery Coordinator), Dr. Washburn, and the rest of the staff at Community Orthopedic.

The total hands-on treatment time was extremely limited. I was placed on a heat pad for approximately 10-15 minutes, briefly instructed to perform a few movements, and then most of the remaining time was spent printing exercise sheets. There was minimal direct supervision, minimal therapeutic engagement, and little professional attention devoted to my condition. In addition, my appointment began 20-30 minutes late. After being taken to the room, I waited again without assistance for approximately 10 minutes. This reflects poor time management and lack of organization. For comparison, I previously underwent shoulder rehabilitation at California Rehabilitation for six months. Their sessions were structured, focused, and typically lasted 40-45 minutes with active therapeutic involvement. Yesterday's session did not meet that standard in any measurable way. Given the limited session time, lack of therapeutic concentration, and overall inefficiency, I do not believe continuing treatment at your facility is appropriate. Please cancel all of my upcoming appointments immediately. I would also like the General Manager to contact me directly regarding this matter. I believe there are clear concerns about quality of care, professionalism, and staff training that need to be addressed. I expect confirmation of cancellation and a follow-up call at your earliest convenience.

Over the phone they confirmed how they received my X-rays. I thanked them and hung up. That was on a Monday morning. My appointment is scheduled the same week on Wednesday afternoon. This unprofessional Drs office called me 6 hours before my appointment and canceled it; gave a vague explanation as to why they can't see me; gave me the number of who can see me and hung up. Now I get to scramble to find a new Dr to treat my broken bone. They assume people don't have lives and they love calling around for help when they have a broken bone. I don't mind having to go elsewhere, I appreciate the importance of a specialist over a general practitioner. However, they had Monday and all day Tuesday to inform me they can't help me. They chose to call the morning of the scheduled appointment and cancel. That's beyond disrespectful and inconsiderate. Now I will be making sure to tell people not to go to them if possible. There's no reason for anyone to be treated like they're just a number rather than a person who needs help.

My goal was to regain 100% range of motion so I could resume my normal activities including my exercise regimen comprising dumbbells and chinning bar. I had spoken to a neighbor older than me who had a torn rotator cuff repaired and could not reach up much above her shoulder. That was not for me. I knew that young people and sports people required 100% restoration while old people probably did not care as much. My research of Dr. Labovitch revealed that he was a sports medicine physician. Sports people with an injury don't want to have any limitations after treatment, so that was the best sign that Dr. Labovitch was the orthopedic surgeon for me. When I went to his office, I gained my ultimate confidence when his waiting room was filled mostly with young people. My surgery was successful, and although it took a bit (maybe 9 months) of expected rehab effort on my part, done partly at home, I regained 100% range of motion, and my arm and shoulder felt no different from the way it was before my accident. I had several subsequent visits to Dr. Labovitch for different issues, and each time his diagnosis was perfect and my recovery complete and uneventful. When requiring PT I always went to California Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy at 36 Mauchly in Irvine, run by Anthony Bisaccia, who is very competent, has a great team, and is wonderful to work with.

I just wanted to post this review because I don't think what I was told was correct. So the office manager should make sure their staff is protecting their patients during every X Ray. This is why I gave only a 2 Star rating. But they are good and Dr Labovitch is knowledgeable and nice.
