I DO NOT recommend this place. Very poorly managed…read more - X-ray techs did not protect the rest of the body. I had to request the protective apron. - PT office overbooks; PT is unable to watch, adjust, and make sure you're learning enough about how to properly do the movements because they're focused on more than one client at a time. - Lots of socialization between the PTs; it's great to have fun at work but not when there's a patient in front of you - Doc wouldn't give any diagnosis without scans. $300 later + exposure to radiation, with no further in understanding or explanation of the issue. My acupuncturist was able to tell me what's going on after a short evaluation. - Doc made me return and pay a second copay for a full evaluation because he refused to assess more than two body parts per visit, even though everything is connected and related - Front desk (quite grumpy) refused to schedule my third appointment stating there was an insurance issue; we were told it's a training matter when we escalated Too many issues! If you'd like to know where I went for PT and got much better results, you are welcome to DM me OR just check out my reviews for the other PT office (there's only one other).

I scheduled this surgury with Dr…read moreRana at the Tarzana Center for Orthopedic Specialists, so I was in and out in about 7 hours total. I cant recommend Dr Rana and the support staff highly enough. From the moment I walked in I was greeted and taken care of by caring professionals. The surgery went smoothly and after about 2 hours in recovery I was on my way home. Dr. Rana and his team were very efficient and thorough with timely pre-op information, as well as explainations of what to expect with the surgery and the recovery. He is both a highly skilled surgeon, and a caring human being. I have little to no pain after 8 weeks and my mobility is very good; walking, climbing stairs, traversing irregular terrain, beach sand, and working around my property. I am back to playing pickleball a few times a week without any soreness or swelling, although I will admit I am playing a bit more conservatively for a while to be sure I do no damage to his fine work! I consider this proceedure to be a total success all owing to Dr Rana's skill and professionalism.

His skill, experience, and attention to detail are exceptional, and he has a cheerful, reassuring bedside manner. What impressed me most was how attentive he was after surgery, personally following up with me multiple times and genuinely caring about my recovery. The office staff and surgical team were excellent, and my surgery at Tarzana Hospital was a great experience. I am extremely grateful for the results of both surgeries and would highly recommend Dr. Rana to anyone considering knee replacement.

Thank you to Dr. Omino and his wonderful staff for changing my life!…read more They worked so hard to make sure a crucial medication that was initially denied by my insurance got approved to treat my condition. I recognize the amount of time and effort it took to get my necessary medication approved, so thank you. They were extremely attentive and flexible with my schedule as well, as I am a very busy student myself. Every time I visited, Dr. Omino took the time to really explain all my options and answered all my questions. He took my symptoms seriously and never once dismissed me. He thought outside the box and ensured he did a full diagnostic work up for all potential diagnoses.

I've been doing this with every doctor I visited for 10 years and it has turned into a huge time consuming problem. Not with Dr Rudin's office though! Omar made sure they were available same day, and phoned to make sure I had them. I just wish all the other doctor's offices had an Omar to deal with ;) If you are reading this wondering if you should go to see Dr Rudin about back or neck pain, just go. He is as good as the other reviewers say he is. Listening intently and going over your MRI with you explaining as he goes. Plus his staff are fantastic to work with, whether it is notes, billing or an examination. Back and neck pain are horrible to deal with, don't put up with it when modern medicine has answers!

I was evaluated for ongoing, debilitating knee pain that has significantly affected my mobility and…read moredaily functioning. Despite MRI findings that documented clinically significant relevant abnormalities, Dr. Hartman repeatedly described the imaging as "normal" and dismissed my concerns without providing a medically supported rationale. The consultation did not include adequate discussion or review of the imaging or imaging results, potential diagnoses, or an evidence-based treatment plan. When I expressed that I was experiencing 10/10 pain and asked how I was expected to function, Dr. Hartman responded, "Well, I come to work with 10/10. I guess it depends on the person." This comment felt extremely condescending and clinically inappropriate. At no point did he assess how the pain was affecting my ability to walk, work, sleep, or perform basic daily tasks. Instead, he referenced anecdotal stories about his brother and a prior patient, which were neither relevant nor helpful. Dr. Hartman attributed the pain solely to fibromyalgia despite the following issues: * The pain is highly localized to my knees rather than widespread. * It does not resemble my typical fibromyalgia pain. * The MRI report included findings that reasonably correlate with mechanical or structural knee pain. His refusal to acknowledge or meaningfully address these findings resulted in inadequate assessment and left me without a clear diagnosis or appropriate follow-up plan. The care provided did not meet clinical expectations and left me feeling dismissed, invalidated, and unsupported. I have filed a formal grievance with Blue Shield and Ventura Orthopedics.
