    Bruising got worse but, it was a major surgery. So that's to be expected
    Brianna G.

    Everyone from the front desk to the surgical team was great. I had a fall and busted up my knee pretty bad. By bad I mean, I couldn't get up for like 10 min. I thought my knee would just get better if I just wore a brace. (I forgot how old I am, so that didn't happen) I had a trip planned so, I went on the trip. I don't think my knee got worse but it definitely didn't get better. When I got back from my trip, I called the Newport Orthopedic Institute and they got me in the same day. I was surprised, I'm not sure if that's the "norm" so that made me happy. I met Dr. Gazzaniga and right away liked his bedside manner. He's kind, to the point and has a good sense of humor. Turned out, I needed surgery asap. His staff got me in for surgery in two days. His surgical center is in the same building as his office. That was awesome. Convenient and close to home. Communication was thorough from beginning to end. Day of surgery, everything went smoothly. EVERYONE from nurses to the anesthesiologist was perfect. Dr G came in to check on me and let me know what he was going to do for surgery, chatted for a little to let me know everything would be fine. I don't remember the name of the anesthesiologist but he was the best, reassuring me that I would be fine and in good hands. Both he and Dr. G explained how I may feel after surgery and what to expect at the surgical site after surgery. Hopefully you never need him but if you do...I would definitely recommend Dr Gazziniga.

    My primary care physician recommended I see Dr. Nicholas E. Rose, a Board Certified hand and upper…read moreextremities specialist/ surgeon. Dr. Rose received me with a warm smile, listened carefully to my concerns, examined and x-rayed my hand, identified the issue, and provided detailed options. The minor surgery went very well, and at all times I felt that Dr. Rose and his team cared, listened, and made me feel I was under excellent care. The team is professional and caring. The orthopedic center has all the expert resources and equipment necessary to expedite diagnosis and determine procedure. The entire team at this orthopedic center in Newport Beach provides comprehensive services - so that all-in- one feeling - is truly welcomed; avoiding having to run around town for each orthopedic issue. I shall return should I need further medical attention and definitely recommend Dr. Rose and his team of specialists.

    Review for Dr. Rose's Office/front desk not Dr. Rose as I was unable to meet with him…read more I was a new patient with an 8:15 AM appointment. My daughter and I arrived at 8a.m, checked in and was asked to complete my online forms which I completed in 5 minutes. I let her know I was done and she said the other staff member would get me set up. We waited in the lobby for 50 minutes. During that time, every other patient who walked in after us was called back within five minutes. Eventually, I approached the front desk to ask when I'd be seen, only to be told they were waiting on me to complete the new patient forms. I had actually filled them out right when I arrived and notified the staff, but apparently, there was a lack of communication. Because of the delay, I had to leave without being seen--despite being in constant pain and having scheduled this appointment a month in advance. I also had my daughter's appointment scheduled right after mine, which we had to cancel as well. I requested my ID and insurance card back and left disappointed. Dr. Rose clearly has a very busy practice, but it's frustrating when poor administrative coordination prevents patients from receiving care--especially those who arrive on time and are in need. A suggestion for the front desk staff: If you're holding a patient's ID and insurance card, and they're expected to complete online forms, check in with them after a few minutes. A quick confirmation could avoid unnecessary delays like this one. It was very disheartening to watch every other patient be seen while I sat there unknowingly overlooked. I took time off work. Unfortunately, I'll need to find another orthopedic specialist. I had high hopes for this visit, but I left feeling dismissed and upset.

    Attempted to make an appointment with a physician I had seen in the past and he was unavailable…read more Dr Michael Eng was referred to instead. As a medical professional of 28 years, I understand the difference in personality and opinions that doctors can have. Dr Eng was positively awful. He was cocky, arrogant and condescending. He made little eye contact, was defensive and his bedside manner was non existent. His unprofessionalism in critiquing his colleague was beyond off putting. He lacked compassion and the ability to listen and understand. I fully understand that doctors have different personalities, opinions and styles, but I am so unsettled by him. It was a waste of the copay. I am just shocked that Hoag would employ a person of this demeanor . This is a time where I wished AI would have scribed the visit. I would love for a colleague to review. He appears very inexperienced and green in medicine. It will take a lot to make him a successful physician. UPDATE( 2 weeks later)...no follow up from office manager when requested. I guess this is just standard practice there. Had second opinion at other major medical center and was told that upon review of my MRI, they were shocked at the lack of advice that was given to me by Michael Eng,MD.

    Dr Gluzman is very caring and does not give up on anyone. I…read morehave had 2 shoulder surgeries and Dr. GLUZMAN understands the pain and the chronic agony my arthritis is putting my body through. I actually thought my pain would go away after a few visits. But that wasn't the case. Dr. GLUZMAN tried several treatments. And it all came down to medicate using a time released which has helped immensely. Thank you Sir. I never thought of find relief but you provided me with my love back. God Bless You

    I don't write reviews often, but this one is long overdue…read more After a lifetime of chronic pain, surgeries, and countless visits to different pain management doctors, I can honestly say that Dr. Gluzman is in a league of his own. He is, without question, the best doctor I've had in my 55 years. What makes him exceptional isn't just his knowledge (which is extensive), but how deeply he cares. He listens. He takes his time. He never makes you feel like just another appointment on the schedule. You feel seen, heard, and respected. Over the years, I've developed a level of trust with him that allows me to be completely honest about my health, knowing he is always looking out for my well-being. He approaches care as a partnership, which has made a huge difference in my quality of life. He is also constantly staying ahead of the curve--bringing in new technologies, therapies, and alternative options--but always with careful research and consideration. He doesn't chase trends; he ensures what he offers is safe, effective, and truly beneficial. And his team? Absolutely incredible. Kind, genuine, and welcoming every single visit. They create an environment that is not only professional, but genuinely positive. After everything I've been through medically, I don't say this lightly: this office stands apart from all the rest. If you are looking for a doctor who truly cares and is committed to helping you live your best life despite chronic pain, I cannot recommend Dr. Gluzman highly enough.
