I had a hard time getting in to see a orthopedic specialist after sustaining an injury to both my…read moreknees back on March 19, 2026. I was in so much pain that due to my fall I sustained a large hematoma on my right knee. Due to my injury and the HIGH COST of seeing a ER Doctor I tried working with my insurance to see someone that could help me. Due to my hematoma, my pain management doctor asked if I'd like to have this thing drained in hopes that it would help eliminate some of my pain. It didn't help much other than reduce my swelling in that knee. I tried reaching out to my HMO primary if they could get me in to see a specialist to help treat my injury. My doctor's scheduling coordinator found SCOS and gave me a referral to finally see a specialist. The specialist assigned to me was Dr. Scott Graham. When I got to the office his staff took X-rays of both my knees then had me wait for Dr. Graham to review them. He said due to the time between when the accident occurred and now did I try to seek any medical attention? I told him that due to the difficulty I was having getting in to see a doctor, my pain management doctor helped drain my hematoma. He asked where were the notes from that doctor? I said that everything I've even had done by a doctor was placed in my medical notes even whenever I've had surgeries or any other procedure done that all was in my medical records. He said that nothing was in his records. He told me that I was wasting his time and that the way I went in treating my injury was all wrong and that he couldn't do anything for me. He spent almost 30 minutes chewing me out for doing what I did before seeing him. I said I was going out of my mind in pain and that anything a doctor could do for me was better than nothing. I tried to apologize to him but he wasn't hearing anything from me. He had already made it up in his own mind that despite that I was a patient in need there wasn't anything could do for me and he couldn't care less about. Dr. Graham has the WORST BEDSIDE MANNER of any doctor I have ever seen in my entire life!!!!!!! He's an egotistical megalomaniac doctor and I use the term "Doctor" very loosely when referring to him. Dr. Graham is obviously forgotten the Hippocratic Oath that all doctors must abide to except this Moron who promised to abide to when treating his patients with respect, If I could have rated him with. A ZERO STAR I would have!!! I don't think Dr. Graham should be a doctor but rather a Garbageman, a position more suited for his crappy attitude. At least as a garbage man he'll never have to worry about the trash and garbage he'd be shoveling every day to his patients. I used to come to SCOS over the years for other injuries and every doctor up until now has been ABSOLUTELY outstanding! I would always recommend SCOS to all my family and friends if they ever needed an EXCELLENT Surgeon or Specialist. But not any longer. If Dr. Scott Graham is an example of the types of specialist that SCOS now has on staff, I will NEVER BE BACK and I'll be stating this on all the social media platforms I'm on after this afternoon (e. g. Instagram, Facebook and X). Dr. Graham can go F.... Himself for all I care!!! Worst doctor EVER!!!

A friend suggested I go to Orange County Orthopaedics and Sports Medical Group. Dr. Greenbaum diagnosed it as a torn supraspinatus (rotator cuff). He was very patient and took his time explaining in detail what was causing the pain and telling me about my options. When speaking with him about my particular situation, it quickly became evident he is highly experienced and very successful in helping people with these repairs. In retrospect, I wish I had not waited so long to get my shoulder fixed. The constant discomfort and disrupted sleep over the years was not necessary. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my shoulder repair. While it did take effort on my part to take the necessary steps to protect and then rehabilitate my shoulder post surgery as directed by the doctor, I am 100% confident in my decision to use Dr. Greenbaum at Orange County Orthopaedics and Sports Medical Group.

If you're reading this, DO NOT TRUST THIS DOCTOR. Do not visit this doctor. Do not listen to him when he tells you you need surgery. This is pretty much one of the worst doctors I've ever experienced in my life. Horrible bedside manner, doesn't talk to you doesn't explain things, rushes you and pushes you into surgery or tells you you'll never feel better. Forces cortisone shots on you if you ask for any serious advice on how to make your hand or wrist or whatever you're dealing with feel better. My hand/wrist is in more pain than it was before seeing this doctor and trusting him to perform surgery on me. So many complications, my entire wrist was swollen up weeks after the surgery and never once did I get a call back from him. When I went to visit their office, I was passed off to random people. He could care less now that he already billed for the surgery. A normal doctor would care if something wasn't going right, a normal doctor would care if you were in more pain after the surgery then before. When I went to visit him, he says "well I have no idea why you're still in pain, I can just offer you a Cortisone shot" ---- Say what??!! You are the expert (allegedly). I'm going to schedule an appointment to meet with a different doctor and I will consider legal action if it is determined that he performed a useless, medically unnecessary surgery. It seems like that seems to be his way of practicing medicine. SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!! TRUST ME.... FIND A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!!!
