He was open about including my husband at all of my appointments, as my husband was the one providing my in-home care. My husband felt very confident in Dr. Than, as I did. He was very clear about the non-weight bearing restrictions & the time frame for those restrictions. It's amazing to see my scar, now three months after the surgery. It is so faint you can barely see it. My friends are amazed at how wonderfully my incision has healed & so quickly. Dr. Than is very thorough in his pre-op preparation. I have a bleeding disorder & had a pulmonary embolism almost 20 years prior, following a back surgery. I also have asthma & some minor heart issues. Dr. Than made sure I had all the pre-op tests & approvals from my specialists, prior to the surgery. In regard to recovery, Dr. Than has referred me for Physical Therapy & is confident I will regain all of the functions of my leg & knee I had prior to my accident.

Dr Birkbeck is awesome! The Nursing Staff is awesome!…read more The receptionists service was AWFUL! My experience with the front, the receptionist, was AWFUL. I sat for over 30 min after my scheduled appointment time, I even waited approximately 15 min to ask when I was going to be seen and why a patient that came in after me was being called before me and the receptionist said with a superior tone, "some patients need x rays and there are different doctors" (I literally heard the patient called for the same doctor as me), and then I was told by the nurse "I'm sorry about the wait, you were never checked in". To me that is unacceptable, it wasn't even that busy in the front, why wasn't I checked in by the receptionist? The way the receptionist dealt with me and my situation made me feel like she was looking down on me, like I was stupid or something. I'm very observant and pay attention to things. I had other appointments to get to, I even came in early.

I've seen Dr. Birkbeck twice, one for each wrist roughly a year apart…read more The first experience, I never got a clear answer, even after an MRI and cortisone injection, as to why I was in pain. The second experience I chose Dr. Birkbeck because I thought I was an existing patient since it'd only been a year (turns out, I wasn't. They charged my insurance for a new patient exam...the bill in and of itself is a whole other issue.) I had been in a motorcycle accident on 7/6 and received a diagnosis in the ER for a left wrist fracture. When I showed up 4 days post accident, he took me out of the ER splint, put me in a cock-up wrist brace and sent me on my way for another week. Then he puts it in his records that I agreed to the brace! (I would have much preferred a cast for the stability) He also spent less than 10 minutes with me in the exam room, and I wasn't swollen at this point. I then go back, at this point 10 days post accident, and get follow up x-rays in which he informs me there's been no change...well no kidding duh! I can remove the brace to shower (he told me I could) and it was not stable enough so it was moving! I then explain to him that with my work, the brace wasn't stable enough for me and he says, and I quote "I'm glad you told me. We can switch it up or I can put you in a cast, IF YOU'D LIKE". What is this, patient is the doctor for the day?! So I opt for the cast, and his medical assistant Crystal puts it on way too loosely. I have to come back in two days later for a new cast to be put on! Luckily, this time around, Taylor Luis (his other medical assistant) apologized that I had to come back in and she cut off the loose cast and put me in a new, much more secure, one. Again, this appointment, the doc spent less than 10 minutes with me. I was then told to follow up in 4 weeks. They cut me out of the cast, took x-rays, and put me in the room. The doc comes back and says "your x-rays are looking great and you're healing up nicely. I'm going to put you back in a brace for two to three weeks and then I'd like you to start moving and using your wrist. But I don't need to see you again, unless you feel it necessary, and I don't think you'll need physical therapy". So I say "Oh so I'm healed?" and he says "No, you're healing"...So 5.5 weeks post-fracture, and he sends me on my way, not fully healed, and doesn't need to see me again? Didn't seem right. Especially after yet again another 10 minute appointment. I am now 8.5 weeks post accident, still in a brace because the pain is so bad I almost went back on opioids, and am going to eat the cost to see another doctor for a second opinion. Keep in mind, this was not a compound fracture that required surgery, a simple distal radius fracture. I would have given 0-1 stars if it weren't for his medical assistant, Taylor Luis. She has been extremely pleasant and helpful. When I called for my request for medical records to be sent to another doctor, she was very polite and understanding, not offended that I'm taking my business elsewhere. If I could review just her, I would give her 5 stars.

The staff has been consistent and responsive - well beyond most Dr. Offices. Previously, I had cervical fusion/decompression surgery and lumbar decompression at UCSF. Every day I wish with all my heart that I'd gone with Dr. Su for those. It's hard not to blame myself because I'm convinced if I'd gone with Dr Su initially I wouldn't be left with cervical chronic pain. Dr Su's approach is to do the most minimal surgery because you can always do more, but can't correct surgery that shouldn't have happened. In my case, this lumbar fusion and reconstruction Dr Su did on November was to correct the first aggressive lumbar decompression at UCSF. I'm now 6 weeks post surgery and feel like I'm getting my life back! Nerve recovery has been difficult and painful, and the staff has been incredible at addressing it. For the first time I feel like I'm part of a team working to heal me. Shout out to PA's Connor and Julie, and Anna and Bruno for back office support. One more thing to consider...the practice consists of several high quality doctors that offer supporting procedures adjacent to surgery.

Review for Dr. Naidu and Dr. Su…read more Apologies for the delay in writing this review--but my gratitude has only grown with time. Thank you, Dr. Naidu, for truly changing my life. One of the things I appreciated most was how honest and transparent both you and Dr. Su were with my prognosis. Your directness allowed me to make informed decisions without false hope, while still feeling heard and respected. You didn't just prescribe a path--you listened to my concerns and worked with my choices. The main reason I chose to fly from Los Angeles--despite the costly flights and hotel stays--was because you believe in starting with conservative care before jumping to surgery. That meant everything to me. Although Dr. Su thought my lower back MRI showed serious issues, he still agreed to try epidural injections first. Thankfully, I only needed two. Those injections gave me my life back. Before meeting you both, I had been off work for six months. Every provider I saw in L.A. pushed for surgery. As a nurse, I've seen patients come back years later with even more pain after surgery. I know surgical techniques have evolved, but I wasn't ready to take that step without a team I could trust--and I trust you both. Just three weeks after my first injection, I returned to work. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day, and I was finally able to do it again. Thank you--truly. My husband got his wife back. My kids got their mother back. Before treatment, I looked and felt ten years older. Now, I feel like myself again. I had been managing well with just Tylenol and ibuprofen for the occasional mild pain. But I made the mistake of seeing a chiropractor recently, and everything changed. My MD ordered a new MRI, and now both my neck and lower back are flaring up again. So--my next visit with you is already booked for August, flights and hotel included. I'm hopeful once again. Lastly, Dr. Naidu--thank you for fitting me in on my first consultation. When I look back, we laugh now about how I begged you to give me that first injection right away. You told me to be there at 8 a.m. because you had a small gap in your schedule--but what you didn't know is that I was already parked outside your building by 7 a.m. I wasn't going to miss that appointment. Best decision I ever made. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Dr. Su--I'll never forget when you looked at my MRI and said, "Oh no... your back is messed up. The epidural won't give much benefit." You had such a straight face that I thought to myself, Oh no... if he can't help me, I'm in deep sh--. But despite that, you still advocated for me. You spoke to Dr. Naidu, and he gave me a life-changing injection. THANK YOU. Just two injections--and I've been doing well ever since! Please, don't give me that look again when you see my MRI this time. Words alone can't express how grateful I am. Thank you.

Although he correctly diagnosed my problem and my need for physical therapy, he declined to refer me to a physical therapist office. Fortunately, my health plan has a good physical therapist office available for referral and Dr. Stuffman did provide a general order for the therapy. The therapist was very competent and requested that I obtain an ultrasound exam from Dr. Stuffman for aid in understanding my injury and providing the right physical therapy. This required another visit to Dr. Stuffman. For the purpose of thoroughness in making his diagno-sis, I think Dr. Stuffman should have performed the ultrasound (a 15 minute exam) in my initial visit with him. Dr. Stuffman also provided no prognosis for my injury, albeit the physical therapist recommended that I no longer do my upper body workouts with 5 lbs. weights or more for fear of aggravating the torn rotator cuff. On the plus side for Dr. Stuffman, he provided a online video for doing physical therapy and this video mentioned "easy" may be better in doing physical therapy weight lifting. This advise was very helpful because I tend to do too much sometimes
