    Her program did not help me. In fact, I got worse with each visit. Also, the fees were excessive.

    I came to Dr. Eric Hohn with a torn meniscus that was blocking full extension of my left knee. This…read morewas the final outcome of an old bike injury. The tear had begun four years prior and was not diagnosed during an MRI at another doctors' office when I was living in Boston. Dr. Hohn was extremely competent in handling the diagnosis and performing my surgery. Following an MRI to confirm our suspicions that my meniscus was blocking my knee, Dr. Hohn talked me through my options and the potential outcomes of surgery. Worst case scenario: he couldn't fix it and the torn tissue would be removed. Best case scenario: the tear could be mended and I'd have better function in the future. Fortunately, Dr. Hohn was able to repair the tear! I'm 3 months out from surgery now and am feeling great. The knee feels very stable, and my only limitations are from the remaining muscle atrophy. I highly recommend Dr. Hohn. While I am not an MD, I am a PhD in biology, and I can say from my interactions with him that this doctor has a firm grasp on the most modern methods and research in orthopedic surgery. That said, his demeanor can be a bit academic and reserved, so he may be off-putting to some people (see the previous review). If you know the right questions to ask, Dr. Hohn has the knowledge and patience to help you understand your particular situation.

    They waste your time shamelessly. We arrived at 3:45 as requested for a 4pm appointment. The place…read moreis supposed to close at 5. The waiting area was packed, like people with crutches leaning against the wall. It was clear they were running badly behind, and from the amount of people waiting, it was clear it's wasn't just one doctor running late. At 4:30, I asked the check-in desk how it was looking. There were 3 people ahead of us and they just took in the 3:15 appointment. It could be 30 minutes, it could be 45 minutes. "Depends if the people ahead of you have a lot of questions or need an X-ray." Um, are you hoping for people who ask no questions about their own medical condition? No explanation of how they were going to see us well after their closing time. No "sorry," which I guess would've been hypocritical anyway. By that point, I had checked Yelp and found it was par for the course, and sure enough, it was just another day of grossly overbooking the place at the expense of patients' time. We canceled soon after and left without being seen for a painful injury. Wish I could send them a bill for our time.

    First off, the Doctor does know what he is talking about. Unfortunately, there are some issues. I…read moremet the Doctor 20 years ago when I had a knee injury. He treated me twice before telling me I needed surgery. When I told him I only had Medicruz, he flipped and said I should ask my parents for the money to pay forr the surgery. I told him I was 22 and that I was an adult and my parents did not support me. He then commented about the Los Angeles Athletic Club sweatshirt I was wearing and how I could afford a membership there, I should be able to afford his bill. It was my roommates sweatshirt. He ended up doing the surgery, but we never spoke again from that day until recently. I had broken my arm and saw two Doctors who said I needed to be patient. I reluctantly went to him and he said I needed surgery and his associate would do the surgery. The associate did a fantastic job. When I went to Fogels staff to get a note asking that my "Domestic Partner" justify with his employer why he needed two days off (unpaid), his staff said to write up a note and that they could get him to sign it for me. Once they saw that my "DP" was a guy, they told me he didn't, nor did his associate sign off on these for "anyone". They then proceeded to tell me they thought I was asking for a note for myself, not my partner. They also tried to tell me that I would not need ANY assistance after the surgery. When I bypassed Fogels staff and went to his associates head nurse, It turns out that his associate had no issues with us being gay and signed off for two weeks of FMLA for my partner. It seems Fogel's staff needs to be enlightened that FMLA is something the Government put in place for this very reason and that it isn't up to the Doctor to choose who he feels is worthy of qualifying for FMLA.

    I have nothing but praise for Dr. Fogel. He has been our family orthopedic MD for years. He…read moretreated my daughter for Osgood Schlatter's, and other members of my family for various orthopedic problems. He was and always has been professional, listened to what we were saying and gave us options. Unlike the other reviewer, I found Dr. Fogel and his staff to be first rate. He has never been rude to us. Nor have I ever seen him rude to other patients. And neither were his staff. On the contrary I found Dr. Fogel to be a nice person as well as very competent doctor. And to boot, he never pushed us into surgery. We were always given the opportunity to try conservative measures first. It turned out that was all we needed for my daughter. I've also phoned him for orthopedic questions related to my children. He has always called back fairly promptly. Dr. Fogel has always been polite and professional and is highly recommended.

    When my primary doctor of 20+ years closed her practice I was so worried about finding a doctor who…read moreI could relate to and would be able to think both in and out of the box with my various medical issues. Dr. Ghaderi has been fantastic. There is so much I appreciate about her, in our first meeting she did bring up the point of having the right doctor/patient match, which I did not read as a dislike of me but, an excellent way to start what is essentially a long term very personal relationship. I have seen Dr. Ghaderi several times the past year, every visit has been on time, comprehensive, helpful and ends with a plan and often a plan B as well. She has a balance of traditional and nontraditional treatments and on more than one occasion has sought outside advice for my situation. I am so grateful to have her as my doctor.

Dr Ghaderi immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome, and all hesitation went out the window. Her bedside manor is wonderful. She is approachable and understanding and took time out of her busy schedule to meet with me until all my concerns had been addressed. She is dedicated to helping me improve my health and overall wellness and has genuine care and concern for her patients. She is compassionate and encouraging, as well as thorough and knowledgeable. She has and is continuing to help me so much and I'm so happy to have found her!
