    My family and I are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my mother received from Dr. Pawel…read moreP. Jankowski during her very difficult lumbar surgery. From the very beginning, Dr. Jankowski demonstrated professionalism. He took the time to and made us feel confident that my mother was in the best possible hands. Also assistant Paritash was equally outstanding, very kind, attentive, personable and always responsive. She went above and beyond to coordinate care, follow up with us, and make sure everything ran smoothly before and after the surgery. Her support truly made a stressful situation much more manageable for our family. Thanks to their dedication and teamwork, my mother received excellent care every step of the way. We deeply appreciate everything they have done. I highly recommend Dr. Jankowski to anyone needing spinal care.

    I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and have already had two multi-level spinal fusions to…read morestrengthen my spine. However, I required a third fusion to fuse my SI Joints bilaterally, but couldn't get it approved by my insurance. I found Dr. Jankowski after two years of trying and failing to get the fusion approved by my insurance. My old doctor was unable/unwilling to appeal my insurance's denial; however, Dr. Jankowski was more than happy to help me appeal my insurance's decision as many times as necessary, since I needed the fusion so badly and had been suffering from terrible chronic lower back pain for so long. I was physically and emotionally drained by the time I found him on my Southern California Ehlers-Danlos Facebook page. I was desperate. At my first appointment, he was kind, efficient, and most importantly, very knowledgeable about my rare and complicated condition and how he could help me. He assured me that he was on my side and would fight for me to get the surgery I needed. Seeing how emotionally drained I was, his office manager, Paritash, got to work immediately on submitting everything to my insurance to appeal my surgery denial and kept me regularly abreast of all the details of my case. Dr. Jankowski personally wrote a letter detailing my case. After multiple appeals, my surgery was finally approved. When it came time for my surgery, Dr. Jankowski was very reassuring and kind. During my recovery, he was empathetic when it became more difficult to manage my pain than originally anticipated, and stayed in contact with me throughout my hospital stay. The incision from my surgery was beautifully closed, and he went the extra mile to order me collagen-based bandages since people with my condition have a propensity to heal poorly from surgeries. Paritash immediately set up my home health care and physical therapy with the physical therapist at my chosen location and was always responsive, promptly returning my phone calls and texts when I reached out. I was also more difficult to manage the drains and the amount of fluid I was putting out than originally anticipated, and when it came time to review the drains, Paritash even came in on her day off, when the office is normally closed, to remove my drains and change my bandages. It was easy to make appointments for my follow-up visits despite Dr. Jankowski being out of town for part of my recovery and the surgery being right after Christmas. The terrible pain that I had had because of my hypermobile joints caused by my hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome has almost completely gone away since having my surgery three months ago, and co Something after two months of physical therapy. My chronic back pain has almost all gone, and my quality of life is greatly improved. I am even returning to in-person work after being completely bed-bound due to my back pain and muscle spasms. Dr. Jankowski has given me my life back! I cannot recommend him more, especially for other patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

First 2 days after surgery was painful but the recovery is very fast after that and a week later i am way better. My collarbone is repaired with a plate and screws. No complications. He took everything precaution to make sure i had a good result and i am very grateful. I was able to get an appointment right away and after careful evaluation he did my surgery the next day. If you need him you can trust him and you are in good hands. He took my insurance. He is affiliated with a Orthopaedic Specialty Institute out of Hoag Hospital and Main st surgical center in Orange. On both of those websites his photo and biography is top left showing his seniority and experience as a top surgeon.

    Dr. Kaplan is beyond amazing. I slipped and fell in my kitchen. I first went to the ER and they…read moresaid my ankle was definitely broken but I didn't need immediate emergency surgery and referred me to a specialist. That office told me I was fine, gave me a boot and told me to walk on my ankle. I couldn't put any pressure at all on that leg so I got a second opinion. That doctor said I needed surgery but didn't give any explanation and I felt very pressured and rushed without questions answered. Dr. Kaplan was my third specialist. He was very professional, showed me measurements of how large my break was on X-rays and showed and explained my break was past the point of not needing surgery. We scheduled the surgery and to say I was terrified would be an understatement. The morning of surgery everyone on staff was beyond amazing and he too made me relaxed. He was very transparent and said it would take 9-12 months to be able to run again. I was very aggressive with physical therapy (obeying doctor orders of course and not being unsafe for recovery) and I was back to running in 3 months! I know that is not a normal recovery (he was very happily surprised). I feel I had the best care and best surgeon. I am forever grateful for Dr. Kaplan. Hopefully I never have another fall but if I do and I require a specialist such as Dr.Kaplan there is no other doctor I will see. (See attached pics) Hope for a speedy recovery for anyone reading this.
