He's direct, clear, and explains everything in a way that makes complex medical issues easy to understand. No fluff -- just honest, straightforward expertise. What stood out most is that he genuinely cares about his patients and their outcomes. You can feel that commitment in the way he evaluates, explains, and follows through. Yes, you may have to wait a bit to get an appointment -- but there's a reason for that. The best surgeons are in demand. Talent, precision, and results speak for themselves. The wait was absolutely worth it, and I would choose him again without hesitation.

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

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.

I really don't know what to say. I had ankle surgery years ago twice after a terrible fall and…read morefracture, but that was at the other Congress in South Pasadena, and there my doctor was amazing. Even here, the problem isn't necessarily with my doctor. Rather, it's with the staff of both places, but especially at the Arcadia location. In Arcadia there is the medical office on one side and the physical therapy area on the other side of the waiting room. The physical therapy area is perfectly fine. I did rehab on my ankle there, and everyone was great. However, when I had horrible arm troubles with my hands suddenly seizing up, I talked to my ankle doctor and got the name of the one doctor at both locations who handle arms as their focus. I called Arcadia, and they couldn't get me in despite it being an emergency for at least 2 months. I called the Pasadena location, and they also had a wait. I asked about a wait list at both places, but when I asked Pasadena, they put me on hold and apparently called Arcadia. Suddenly I could get in a couple of days later. Thank God! After my first visit, things seemed to get better until I took another horrible fall and feared I had hyperextended my other arm at the elbow and shoulder. I called about having an accident and once again was told it would be 2 months. I asked about a wait list and was told to call back every day. I still had to wait about 5 weeks, which is forever when you've had a devastating fall. It took another couple of weeks to get my MRI done there due to waits. And then no one called me with results. One week went by. Then another. So I called and asked if they got my results. They had. Well why didn't the doctor call me? Well they don't call you when they get the results. It's up to you to call back and set up an appointment if you want to hear the results. What?! Even better, the doctor was apparently going on vacation for two weeks, so I'd have to wait about 6 weeks at the earliest to get in. I freaked out on them. I mean did I take crazy pills. They had the doctor do a telehealth call with me in a day or two, but then when I asked him if not calling the patient was actual proper protocol, he was just defensive and said he had been on vacation for weeks (not that he was going on vacation the following week). The whole office is a clusterf*ck! The doctors are knowledgeable and some are better than others, but the office is run by clueless maniacs. If you can find another decent place, go there and not here.

Just because I asked how long he's been doing this, hi first response was "I see where you're going with this" I'm like I'm just making conversation. And after that he just became defensive. Then he didn't want to do an X Rey. As I was leaving the office my Dr called and said to make sure I get an X Rey and I went back from the front door back to ask for an X Rey, they said I have to wait til all the patients are done because I've checked out and basically I'm in the back of the line. So I left. Then they called me to say they were going to do my x ray now. I am not a child for them to treat me like that. Sad place!!

He said he didn't see a pinched nerve, and my MRI looked ok. I told him my upper leg pain was between my knee and thigh. Then he seemed to change directions and said, "Well, maybe it's coming from your hip. He saw an x-ray of my hip and said it looked OK. I got the impression he was guessing at this point. I asked if I needed another MRI, and he didn't answer. Then he stated I would have to see a hip doctor. The hip doctor can't see me until the end of August, so I can sit here and suffer with bad pain for 6 more weeks. This doctor is a joke, in my opinion.
