Everyone did a phenomenal job explaining the procedure during pre-op, but what really stood out was how lighthearted and funny they were. They cracked jokes throughout the process, which helped calm our nerves, because let's be honest, most people are at least a little anxious before anesthesia. Dr. Chi was fantastic at explaining the surgery and making sure my husband felt informed. The anesthesiologist (Dr. Gananiyja? Sorry lol doctor's handwriting in the notes is real ) was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor that put us at ease. A special shoutout to the pre-op nurse too (we can't remember if her name was Elaine or Daniela!). She explained everything she was doing, even when placing the needles, which was reassuring and helped my husband feel comfortable. Overall, such an amazing experience. We're so grateful for the incredible care from everyone on the team!

I initially decided to see Dr. Lauchlan Chambers because of the positive Yelp reviews. I was…read morediagnosed with a minor ACL tear and a meniscus tear, and Dr. Chambers recommended ACL reconstruction using an allograft along with meniscus surgery. I asked specifically about the meniscus procedure and was told that approximately 30% of my meniscus would be trimmed or removed. I asked about stitching it and he said that it is not possible. As a 36-year-old, I was concerned about the long-term implications of removing a significant portion of my meniscus, particularly the potential increased risk of developing arthritis over time. I also did additional research on ACL graft options and learned that, depending on the patient and circumstances, an allograft may have a higher re-tear rate than an autograft, particularly in younger and more active patients. Rather than proceeding immediately, I decided to get additional opinions and do more research. I am very glad that I did. I ultimately found another orthopedic surgeon who was able to repair (stitch) my meniscus rather than remove part of it, preserving 100% of my meniscus, while also addressing my ACL injury. When Dr Chambers made it clear that stitching wasn't an option. My experience taught me how important it is to thoroughly research your injury and treatment options and, especially for significant orthopedic surgery, get a second or even third opinion before making a decision. I would strongly encourage anyone with a meniscus tear to specifically ask whether meniscus repair is possible in their individual case and to consult an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in meniscus preservation and repair. One thing that helped me during my research was simply searching Google for "orthopedist who will stitch meniscus". That search helped me find surgeons who specifically focus on meniscus repair and preservation, rather than immediately removing damaged tissue. I am grateful that I took the time to investigate my options before undergoing surgery. Had I not done so, I may have ended up with a procedure that I would have regretted in the long term. I also had a separate billing issue with the office. After their office submitted the insurance claim, I discovered that I had been overcharged. I contacted them about the discrepancy, and they acknowledged the issue and said they would refund the difference. I am sharing this review because I hope it encourages other patients to ask questions, research their options, and seek additional opinions before proceeding with surgery. If even one person benefits from taking that extra step, then sharing my experience will have been worthwhile.

When my brother needed shoulder cuff repair, my sister and I researched and found Dr. Kim, all our…read moreadvance work and his excellent background had us highly recommending him. My brother chose him, (he also said- if I have to recover for months, why not in California?). Kip had an excellent experience and 5 years on neither he, nor his trainer, can detect any difference between his left and right shoulder- he has full flexibility and strength. So when I eventually needed my own surgery I too chose Dr Kim. I am only 6 weeks out from surgery, and am so pleased with my recovery thus far. As my brother did before me, I followed their instructions carefully, and am now in the Physical Therapy phase and very happy with my progress. Dr Kim and his staff have been incredibly kind and attentive, but it is his skill as a surgeon that ultimately leads me to recommend him.

I walked out wondering why on earth I hadn't done this years ago. Dr. Elle is very knowledgeable, funny, warm, and really good at explaining exactly what she's doing and why--which I appreciate, especially when someone is approaching my toe with sharp instruments. She made the whole experience so much easier (and far less dramatic) than I had imagined. Her office staff is also genuinely lovely--friendly, helpful, and welcoming. And as an artist, I have to give bonus points for the fabulous foot-themed artwork throughout the office. If you're going to devote your professional life to feet, you might as well fully commit to the décor. I honestly can't say enough good things about Dr. Elle. If you have an ingrown toenail or any foot and ankle issue and you've been putting off dealing with it, learn from me: GO. Don't spend years suffering because you've somehow convinced yourself this is just your life now. It doesn't have to be that way. Trust me now, believe me later. Thank you, Dr. Elle, for fixing in one visit what I complained about for years.

I experienced on and off pain and swelling on my right foot for around 3 months before deciding I had enough and told myself something is not normal. I was referred to her by my mother who used to closely work with her back then. at this point I was limping everywhere I go, every step was a struggle, taking stairs was a dose of torture, driving required extra extra effort. my big toe was red, swelling and painful I couldn't even take a proper step. Every appointment was a breeze and efficient from the start, Jazmin and Christina are very welcoming and Dr Farajian herself evaluated and personally talked to me about her treatment plan on my first visit, after getting my feet digitally scanned and x-rayed, sadly my Insurance did not cover any part of it upon verification, so I had to invest in myself out of pocket, and putting all my trust as a patient onto Dr. Farajian. Tiny to No pain, No surgery, No fear all throughout my treatment process, they worked with my work schedule too. I can confidently say now It is worth it, this time of writing is 3 weeks post-growth factor treatment and walking with my new insoles, still waiting for full recovery of my growth factor as advised and directed by Dr., so I am still taking it easy, but for now I am back to normal activities, ZERO pain, ZERO limping, ZERO struggles in walking, taking stairs, ladders, driving because every step feels and looks normal now. and of course no more swelling anywhere. I am leaving this review because I am truly happy and grateful to feel and move normal again. they deserve all kinds of love and positive energy for what they do changing people's lives thru their expertise and craft, just as myself transforming and restoring smiles everyday on my job as a Dental lab technician. Her expertise speaks for itself and use this review as a testament, again I will say, please do yourself a favor and book your appointment now, come see them to end your foot and ankle pain!

When I was in a state of anxiety and trying to see as many doctors as possible to get different…read moreopinions, I found Dr. Melikian at DISC. I had generally good experiences with doctors I had seen there in the past. He is more of a spine specialist, focusing on the neck and back. When I came in, I was having issues with both my neck and shoulders. After looking at my neck X-rays and MRIs, he noted that my shoulders were likely the bigger issue at the time. I could move my neck up and down without too much trouble, but my shoulders had difficulty rotating. Despite that, he was able to refer me to another DISC doctor, Dr. Shore. More importantly, I never felt like I was being rushed out the door, unlike many doctors who seem to just want to get patients in and out for a paycheck. In fact, toward the end of my appointment, he made sure I did not have any more questions before we parted. To me, that is a sign of a doctor who actually cares, which feels surprisingly rare given the number of doctors I have seen over the last several years. While he was great, I also have to give a special shoutout to his assistant, Joanna. She might be one of the best doctor's assistants I have seen. The assistants I have known generally get a good idea of what is going on and log your symptoms so the doctor can look at you more efficiently, but Joanna went above and beyond. She did more than a typical assistant would by checking the multiple issues I was having, including rotator tests, hand-grip strength, shoulder rotation, and various sensitive points. Similar to Dr. Melikian, I felt like she genuinely cared about what was going on and wanted to make sure I was receiving the right treatment. She was the first person to make me realize that I needed to focus more on my shoulder. Of course, she still told the doctor about everything just in case, but it says something when an assistant does more thorough checks than some actual MDs I have seen. It also says something that, even though I did not receive treatment from Dr. Melikian and he ultimately referred me elsewhere, he was one of the few doctors who was very assertive about making sure I scheduled a follow-up appointment. Even when I was in a rush to leave, his assistant reached out and emailed me to schedule an appointment, making sure I was okay with it. That is the sign of a doctor who really cares. Overall, in a weird way, I am kind of sad that my issues were not more related to my neck, since both Dr. Melikian and his assistant, Joanna, were great. Based on the reviews I have seen on Yelp and Google, many people seem to have had similarly positive experiences. If your issues are more related to your neck or back, I would consider getting an opinion from Dr. Melikian.

(No computer, fax, or printer) I explained that I needed ADA accommodation to fill out yet another one. But, it wasn't until I questioned their requiring my credit card so they could make individual unauthorized charges unbeknownst to me.

They even cancelled the registration I tried to fill out so that I would have to start all over again.
