I am writing this review regarding my experience with Desert Orthopedic Center and Eisenhower…read moreHealth. On 10/09/2025, I underwent a bursectomy performed through Desert Orthopedic Center at Eisenhower Medical Center. I was discharged after surgery without a splint on my elbow. Within a few weeks, at a follow-up appointment, the physician observed that the surgical wound had reopened. I have photographic documentation of the open wound. I was then informed that I would require a second surgery to close it properly. On 11/10/2025, I underwent a second procedure to repair the wound. This time, I was sent home with a splint. I then endured another full month of recovery, additional medical appointments, additional time off, and additional physical and emotional stress. Despite the fact that this second surgery was necessitated by the failure of the original surgical outcome, I was billed for the second procedure. It is unreasonable and unacceptable to charge a patient a second time for corrective surgery when the initial procedure did not heal properly. In addition to the financial burden, I experienced prolonged pain, inconvenience, extended recovery, and disruption to my life. I am formally requesting a full billing review and appropriate financial resolution for the second surgery and related follow-up care. Patients should not bear the financial consequences of complications that stem from their medical care. I urge both Desert Orthopedic Center and Eisenhower Health to review their post-operative discharge protocols and billing practices to ensure accountability and prevent similar experiences for other patients.

Dr Fayssoux is unique among physicians here. Over the last several years medical offices have had…read moreto accommodate a growing number of patients and accommodate them with less staff. Many doctors don't bother to view their patients as individuals, but rather as routine causes of illness or ailments that are seen day in and day out. Not so with Dr Fayssoux. He walked in with an air of genuine interest in meeting me; and introduced himself as "Reggie". He is conversational as if wanting to assess my personality and understand how I communicate . He has no air of superiority or impatience. He listened intently and didn't simply look at my MRI-he studied it -as if weighing options and not just going after a standard quick fix. He took as much time as I needed; answered all my questions with genuine helpful information and won my confidence within that hour. More importantly his surgery on me went well; when there seemed to be a glitch post op he wasted no time in getting to the root of the cause: treated it and resolved it to perfection. He is kind; and skilled and just an all around nice guy with a professional gift . You will be in excellent hands if you choose him.

I normally don't leave reviews, but the work environment at Lifekind Surgical Center seriously…read moreneeds attention. The doctors are outstanding, professional, compassionate, and clearly dedicated to providing excellent patient care. Unfortunately, the same level of professionalism is not reflected in management.The supervisor's treatment of the front desk staff and medical assistants is disappointing and, at times, disrespectful. The employees who keep the office functioning every day deserve support, appreciation yet the environment often feels tense, discouraging, and emotionally driven. Decisions appear to be influenced more by favoritism and personal feelings than by what is best for the staff, workflow, or patients.What makes this even more frustrating is that staff opinions and concerns do not seem to be valued. A strong supervisor should be willing to listen, communicate, and understand the perspectives of the employees working directly with patients every day. Front desk staff and MAs are the backbone of any medical office, and ignoring their input only creates resentment, poor morale, and unnecessary stress throughout the workplace.You can feel the negativity the moment you walk in, which is unfortunate because the providers themselves are truly excellent. The doctors deserve leadership that supports both patients and staff equally, and the hardworking employees deserve to be treated with fairness, respect, and professionalism. Until management learns how to communicate effectively and value their team, the work environment will continue to suffer
