From moment one I was impressed with the Commons & Dr Eric Milstein due to his professional staff…read moreand their expeditious reply to voice mails. I had an incredibly painful shoulder and the staff worked to fit me in to Dr Milstein's busy schedule ASAP ! The Commons office is a very comfortable and inviting space--no hideous straight back chairs lined up in a windowless lobby ! A spacious area with various seating areas and a pleasant front desk staff. Dr Milstein himself is friendly, professional and direct. I have much confidence in his medical assessment and protocol for my very painful shoulder. After years with Kerlan Jobe (now Cedars) the circuitous phone messages to reach a human, the exorbitant wait times to actually see a Dr, the rushed brief visit once an appointment is secured with a doctor, Dr Milstein and his practice are a breath of fresh air !!! Also, very easy parking 100 out of 100 overall score ! P.S. I was even more impressed when the patient prior to me was a world renowned Doctor.

So one year ago he had a rash of almost 25 people that couldn't say more fabulous things about him. Certainly not my experience. To start- the electronic data check in process is predatorily intrusive... It feels like they're feeding all the data into a central WBAN system. Upon arrival, after they were finally pleased with all my signatures and disclosures, 10 minutes passes while he's standing outside door loudly socializing with his assistants about his internet purchases. When he finally walks in and I ask him if he's going to buy the shoes, he gives me a snotty "I don't know, maybe". Contemptuous glare, zero apology. He then went on to behave like a slovenly teenager, angry that I had to nerve to point out I was running late. He made it exceedingly clear that he could care less about helping my painful medical situation and even interrupted the consultation to argue with me about how he had a right to be late & that I should go elsewhere. Arrogant, rude, disrespectful & made us miss the deadline for funding our Spacex ipo.

I have been seeing Dr. Sull for almost 5 years and I am so happy to tell everyone that wants to listen to me "how amazing, brilliant, kind, incredibly informative, thorough, intelligent, and calm this surgeon is ... " Best of all HE GETS ME! This experience has taught me this mantra and that is: SLOW THE HECK DOWN!! And be PATIENT... needless to say I'm an extremely impatient patient, and this has been my biggest lesson! Happy to report that the results are fantastic and extra soon, I will be my old "maniac " self. I have to be very careful in my exercise routine AND pay attention to how much weight I put on this hand. Funny, how much I use my left hand naturally without thinking. I really cannot say enough, how much I appreciate this man and if I had to do it all over again, he would still be the man that would be my choice!! Every staff person at Kerlan-Jobe is a gem! I feel seen, heard and helped! And I love how everyone is kind! There are not enough stars in the sky to show my appreciation! Thank you!!!

While we sat for several hours in emergency waiting for the perfect Doctor, entered Dr. Sull. We couldn't have been more fortunate than to get such a superb and brilliant Surgeon! After a 3 hour operation he came to tell me and my wife how he had to reconstruct many broken pieces of bone back together, and put in some screws and a plate. His hands on aftercare and and advice in the hospital and later in his office was beyond remarkable. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon, he is also a great communicator and a compassionate personable Doctor. I cannot recommend he and his staff more highly.

I was advised to go to this doctor because at the time my roommate was an image technician (ct, xray, mri) at St Johns and dealt directly with patients like myself, and he noted that this doctor was the best in his opinion based on his experience dealing with his patients as compared to the outcomes of other doctors. Later on, I had another surgery on my right elbow from another doctor for a similar situation and the elbow that Dr. Ehrhardt touched has had much less problems. I'm writing this review because I was looking up Dr. Earnhardt for one of my friends injuries and noticed that he had some negative reviews. My experience was excellent with him and I would not hesitate to go with him again so long as insurance allowed it.

After a consultation and an MRI, he diagnosed my problem as having several tears in my meniscus that could be resolved with endoscopic surgery. I scheduled the surgery for 9:00 AM and the day before surgery, was notified at 4:00 PM, that the surgery wasn't going to happen due to their lack of contacting my insurance. I then had to call my insurance and their office repeatedly to rectify the situation. Nightmare! When I arrived at the scheduled time of surgery at 9:00 AM, they pushed it to 11:00 AM, which was difficult for my ride to pick me up at that time as I had scheduled it accordingly. After the surgery I was in horrible pain and took the oxycodone they prescribed for 2 weeks. The pain was still so overwhelming after the 2 weeks of being on heavy painkillers, I tried calling their office many times to get a refill, with no response. I finally was able to reach them and they gave me another prescription for Oxycodone. I met with the doctor, on crutches 5 weeks later and in horrible pain, and his bedside manner was rude, short and he gave me no solutions. His solution was to inject me with steroids. That's it! No follow up, nothing. All in all, I'm currently in more pain now then before I ever saw him. Worst mistake I made trusting him to be my doctor. Beware!!!

Dr Kidd, 5 star doctor. I saw Dr Kidd today for a cycst that popped up over an old rolled ankle…read moreinjury. Fortunately the cyst fixed itself. Cool. Only have to come back if the cyst comes back. Awesome ! See you soon Dr . Kidd (I hope NOT) just kidding you know i love my Cedars Orthos!!! Dr . Kidd has always used the conservative view VS going right to surgery with me and I appreciate that . Have had two toe surgeries that were very successful . I had two unsuccessful surgeries from a LA Care doctor at providence Tarzana in 2018 & 2019 that Dr Kidd fixed . (4) surg, 1 toe over a 3 year period = 9+months of life on my butt. Grrrr! My husband worked out of town when i had surgery so i did it on my own 3rd floor in an apt complex with an elevator that worked 2/7 days a week. even more grrrrrr. Things nobody tells you about foot surgery. 1 Any surgery, invest in a Bregg Ice Machine. It's a portable bucket of ice with a wrap that continuously circulates cold water around your foot or other body part About $350 and worth every penny. it comes with a standard wrap that fits any body part, so don't buy the specific . I did and wasted $60 I basically bought the same wrap that came with it oh well! It works great for any type of surgery . 2. get a dry pro $25-30 cast/wound/waterproof protector to shower in. forget the trash bag & tape. this is a 2 min on 1min off completely waterproof protection . Shower as long and swim if you'd like . 3.cheap extra extra large & stretchy warm socks with the toes portion cut off. Extra large so they fit over your cast/wrap etc . circulation will be interrupted & all that ice is gonna make for a frosty foot. 4. Hurricane $29-40 Great support when you can start putting weight on your foot . Super portable folds and fits in the seat pocket of all major air planes , fits in a longchamps standard large tote or LV neverful MM. Note to people who use those knee scooters .. yes super convenient but they end up messing up your knee hip and lower back if you use them more than one surgical/recovery period. i used mine 4x . Find friends/family who need the scooter . they are bulky and awkward to store so we passed it around a friend circle , or donate it to your PT office and get receipt for a tax write off. 5.Post surgical Pain is hard to control, unless you keep it up constantly and iced . who can keep their foot up 24/7 ? so know it's also a painful recovery until the swelling goes down . throbbing is how i'd explain it . That part doesn't matter who the doctor is, it's gravity & physics . 5. Ortho Wedge. Great for keeping that foot elevated especially at night . You won't roll off a pillow and wake up to a throbbing foot at 2am . Now about Cedars itself ... Love the doctors , Kidd, Zall, Scott, Itamura ROCK STAR DOCS . They treat rock stars .. met Slash (GnR) at one of them .. that was a cool Dr visit . Always had excellent outcomes with all of the doctors mentioned above . The bad - the business side of Cedars Clinics/Hollywood Hospital Appointments . It's super hard to get anyone for appointments that's knows anything . I hate calling a doctors office only to be asked have you seen the doctor before? I'm a memorable patient . Yes, I've seen him in past for two surgeries. You get a crappy call center most of the times. leaving messages is hit or miss . I've left them on the cedars app though and gotten response there . Another tip.. get to know and love your doctors staff and assistant , then you'll have a direct line to call for appointments . Sometimes I see two docs same day when they are both in MDR. The two assistants will help me coordinate - they work it out and give me the date. I bring something wonderful that I baked for them and everyone is happy. (dr kidd bakes.. ask him for a recipe!) Hospital in Hollywood sucks. parking blows super expensive and unless you get there at like 2/3am getting any decent parking after 5am forget about it! .Once inside is a flipping maze. I've gotten lost in there looking for my husband in the cardiac dept more than once . The staff are not friendly when you ask for directions. Their cardiac unit that were in only had drapes between the patients , not a real room , this happened to my husband a few times , appears hospital is out of room so they make smaller rooms . They also only allow one visitor at a time, and getting a chair to sit on .. forget about that too. It became such a hassle , we switched all of my husbands doctors to providence St. john's SM. The hospital Billing Dept also sucks and they owe me thousands for care they billed and i paid out of pocket for before my medicare case was settled . That's not the doctors fault . they have refused to re-bill my services to medicare and the secondary insurance Inhad at the time . thousands of dollars from 2018-2021

When I called, I had a wait of a several minutes until I was helped by Rashida. She was able to answer most of my questions, but the system could not tell her if Dr Knapp was in my specific health plan's network. So, before setting up an appt for me, she said I needed to get an answer about that from another person, Geraldo, and she transferred me to his line. I got his voicemail and left a message for him and heard back from him within an hour. He verified that Dr Knapp is in my network, and then he transferred me back to Rashida who said she would call me back to set up an appt after she spoke with the Dr. I received a call back from Rashida, also within an hour, and she set up an appt for me with Dr Knapp's PA, Stephanie, who will go over my shoulder problem and order any needed images before I see Dr Knapp. I realize these days it's not unusal to see a PA first, so I'm not put off by this. So far I've had a good experience with the office. Will update accordingly!
