    I had gone to another orthopedic doctor that was closer to our home in Santa Clarita who was rated…read more5 stars on Yelp. I realized I had made a huge mistake. The doctor I saw told me that he could not repair the meniscus tear because if he did I would have to have a knee replacement. Instead he recommended a cortisone shot and 5 weeks of gel shots and eventually I would have to have a knee replacement. With that advice we decided to make an appointment with Dr Heinen. I was impressed with the office staff, they were efficient and accommodating. They scheduled an appointment right away. We met with Dr Heinen and he looked at my MRI and told me he could repair the meniscus tear in an out patient surgery center. He explained he would review the knee and determine what was needed. I had the surgery and was released two hours later. I'm able to put weight on my knee and should be better within the next 4 days. Dr Heinen is wonderful, he is excellent at what he does and I trust him and highly recommend him, his staff and the surgical center. If I could rate his services higher I would have given him 10 STARS!! Sincerely, Elaine Weideman

    PHENOMENAL MEDICAL DOCTOR AND SURGEON. Dr. Gary Moscarello was one of my family member's surgeon…read more Dr. Moscarello exhibits EXCELLENT bedside care and although I never got to meet him, I want to express my sincere gratitude to him and his amazing work. He performed patella surgery and checked up on my family member numerous of times. This doctor was made for this profession. Being a doctor and surgeon is not an easy journey but he is an absolute angel whom worked hard to get to this point when I am sure that it took many years to develop the incredible skills that he possesses. He one hundred percent deserves the respect, honor, and recognition for the human that he is and the amazing work that he performs. I believe he is retired now as he should. Congratulations Dr. Moscarello! Absolutely well deserved. You have touched my life and I have not met you at all! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. I would like to sincerely thank you in person, however, I am not sure how to reach out! Thank you so so much. You took in my family member during covid times and it was scary for me. You realized the severity of the fracture. Scheduled surgery asap and followed up with competent care and went above and beyond especially during the recovery period. Thank you Dr. Moscarello. Words are not enough to describe how truly appreciative I am for your expertise, your years of built up knowledge and wisdom, and the mannerisms and demeanor you exhibit to exude such calm and gentle grace for the people you care for. Enjoy your retirement. I wish you the absolute best and I hope you feel loved and treasured as you are an incredible human being and deserve all the great moments of retirement and anything beyond. Wow. I am speechless now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!

I decided to have my 2nd appt with Dr. Moscarello. What a huge difference. He spent about 3 x the time with me and went over the makeup of the quad tendon, how it tore and explained things from my MRI with me as well. Just a very knowledgeable guy. Very nice gentleman too. I left there feeling informed and like my time was well spent with him. Thanks Doctor!

    I have mixed feelings about Risser. Office staff, scheduling is horrid and it takes hours to get…read moresomeone to answer the phone. I received good care for my knee arthritis, but was dismayed that they did not use ultra-sound for PRP injections. So I went elsewhere. My back is where it went bad. I was diagnosed with scoliosis, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc and halitosis :) I received cortisone epidurals, the second one was 9 months after the first. When I requested the second injection the doctor said I was getting too many shots and I needed surgery. Fact, you can get 3-4 injections per year. The fact the doctor lied to me was the last straw. Went to Pasadena Ortho, they answer the phone and scheduling is easy. They supplied me with exercises for my back and knee as well as a medical knee brace which I no longer need. Imagine my shock when the back doctor after a very thorough exam said my back pain was actually from lumbar facet joint syndrome. He referred me to an anesthesiologist/ pain specialist in their office. He did a very thorough exam and confirmed the diagnosis. Surgery was not required and all I needed was facet joint ablation (radio frequency kill the nerves being squeezed) which last 9-12+ months. I am astounded that Risser misdiagnosed me, lied and I could have had an unnecessary surgery.

    The Practitioners are good, however the office staff are nor helpful. There is a disconnect between…read morehow the MD's/ PA think things happen and what really does.

In my case, he explained that he could do the necessary surgery to repair the broken bones in my legs and feet or just put me in a couple of casts and hope for the best. I opted to have the surgery and am pleased with the results. My experience with Dr. Baumgarten was positive in all aspects, and he has a good sense of humor.

However, I had limited knee pain and no difficulty walking; the main issue was painful compensation on my left side. He outlined several treatment options, but the conversation seemed to focus on dismissing alternatives in favor of a total knee replacement which felt far too aggressive at this stage. It came across more like a sales pitch than a recommendation based on my best interests. There is no patient portal, nothing digitized, no texts, nothing. I personally find these features immensely helpful in understanding and organizing my ongoing treatment. Seems outdated since I don't think I have any providers without a portal these days. The few pages of pre-surgery information they sent me by mail seemed painfully inadequate. When I made the initial appt, they told me they accept Blue Shield PPO, but when I looked at the claim in the BS portal yesterday I noticed they were out of network. When I called to ask about it, I was told I should have asked or looked into it on my own, but I very rarely ever run into providers who aren't in network so I didn't think of it. So I guess that's on me. Maybe I'm being picky, but I feel that is a point worth mentioning especially when considering the huge expense of major surgery. Some of the portals that I mentioned above also let you know your insurance summary *before* the appt. To be fair, he was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and did not rush through the appointment. Clearly he has helped a lot of people so he's doing something right. But after considering all of the above, I decided not to move forward with the surgery.
