    I didn't realize that my review was saved as a draft here. I thought it had been posted. My first…read moreand only encounter with Dr. Andrew Blecher around 6 years ago. He was with SCOI ... before it came under the UCLA umbrella. I learned that he was using a type of stem cell treatment and I'd bee suffering with joint and nerve pain for decades. The very least of my my pains are the result of bullet lodged between L1-L2 of my spine. I was bone-on bone in my knees and nearly all my joints were thrashed. I had tried everything to address my pain and I wanted to explore stem cell treatment. At the time, it was known that the "good" stem cell treatment was available in several countries, but not in the U.S.. An assistant to Dr. Blecher was "Zach" and he was super-kind and professional. I had had several phone conversations with Zach, and when I arrived at my appointment, Zach was as kind and professional in-person as he'd been on the phone. ABOUT MR. BLECHER: When he walked into the room to meet me, I said "Hello". He did NOT say hello in return. Rather, the first words that came out his mouth were: "You know this is a very expensive procedure.". He said that in a conspicuously condescending tone that perfectly matched his facial expression. I admit that I look kinda like the poster-person for a biker from hell, but Blecher looked at me as if I had parked my stolen super market shopping cart just outside his office. Of course, I had to ask "How much will treatments cost", to which he replied "It starts at $8.000.00 and might go up from there ... and NO insurance will cover it." I wasn't shocked by that reply ... however, Dr. Blecher added that it was possible that I might see no benefits from the treatment(s). At that time I knew that the country of Panama offered real (umbilical) stem cell treatments, and $8,000.00 might have covered my travel to Panama and treatment fees. Unfortunately, I had been in such pain that I felt I couldn't make the trip for the treatment. I was left to weigh the expense of treatment against the discouraging, terrible, unfriendly attitude of Blecher. I chose to pass. My pains have only increased. I can't have an MRI because of the bullet fragment, and I have become more disabled. However, I continue to hope for treatment options. Blecher is arrogant, patronizing and narcissistic. I'm a people person and a disabled veteran. I strongly suggest you do NOT seek care from Dr. Andrew Blecher. Rather, seek a doctor that possesses human qualities and treats patients (or potential patients) with dignity. Apologies for not confirming/knowing that this review went to "draft" and was not posted in a timely way.

    Dr. Blecher impressed me and my young adult son. We came in with a serious knee injury that two…read moreother Doctors had zero clue what it was or what should be done and Dr. Blecher got straight to the issue with a short exam and a simple diagnostic maneuver. After reading some of the other reviews insinuating that the Dr. should have somehow been sweeter or something it made me angry. Good grief we didn't go in for a therapy appointment. He was absolutely professional to the point and I am greatly relieved that my son is in capable hands. The office staff was great too.
