I had surgery to fuse L4 and L4 on October 9, 2025. I've…read morewaited until now (9 months) to write my review because I wanted to be sure how good my outcome is. My surgery was done by Dr. Burdi who I've determined has done a very good job. Prior to my surgery Dr. Burdi and Tyler Waldron, his PA, did X-rays and MRI's, and also treated my back pain with non-surgical methods such as physical therapy, home exercises, pain meds, and injections. I had severe instances of back pain and sciatica going back many years often times going down my leg, and I was originally treated by Dr. Evangelista. Since the many years of therapy and medicines had not resulted in significant or lasting improvement, Dr Burdi determined that I was a good candidate for surgery because X-ray and MRI images showed L4 and L5 were offset and would pinch on nerves. There were many times that I had to cancel my golf because of lower back pain. Dr. Burdi's surgery coordinator, Pat Weber, was excellent coordinating everthing and helping me with any questions. So how was surgery? I was surprised that I did not have any severe pain after surgery either from my back or from the surgery. I did have some pain, but it was not severe at all. I only took oxycodone and muscle relaxants for 4 days. Then I switched to extra strength tylenol and anti-inflammatory pills. Stitches were removed after 1 week I think. I did have a problem witih the steri-strips coming off every day because of the friction of the back brace on my shirt which kept rubbing against the steri-strips. That caused me some anxiety, but the skin healed fine. I went through physical therapy for 5 months, was careful to avoid bending, lifting, and twisting, but still had some moderate lower back pain and sciatica, although nothing severe. Dr. Burdi said it could easily take 6 months to heal, and he would order another MRI at 6 months if I still had pain. I still had some pain at 6 months, and was still taking anti-inflammatory pills 3 to 4 days/week so I did have another MRI. Dr. Burdi and Tyler evaluated the MRI and were certain the surgery was completely successful; there was adequate room around the nerves. Dr. Burdi explained that not only could it still be healing, but that I do have arthritis among the vertebrae above and below the fusion that can cause some pain, but that it was not a candidate for surgery. He referred me to Dr. Washburn for further evaluation and non-surgical treatment. In the meantime, since my MRI showed the surgery outcome was excellent, I started golfing again. I found that as long as I continued taking an anti-inflammatory pill 3 or 4 days/week, I could golf with just minor pain during and after. I was amazed and happy that I was golfing again. I did see Dr Washburn. He evaluated me and the MRI images. He said that it appeared to him that I was still healing, and some people take a year to completely heal. He recommended no further treatment, but rather to wait a couple more months to see how I feel. So since then, I have continue to feel better. I now take an anti-inflammatory pill only 1 or 2 days per week, primarily when I'm practicing golf or golfing. I still get some lower back pain at times but nothing severe. Usually after twisting by back or lifting relatively heavy stuff. I've found I also get upper back aches which I guess is a result of compensating for the reduced flexibility at the L-4/L-5 fusion and the arthritis. I am feeling good enough that I can do pretty much anything with only minor aches and pains. I am going to wait the full year, and if I'm still having pain, I will go back to Dr. Washburn for injections or ablations which are the likely next steps if needed. I am glad I had the surgery and I would highly recommend Dr. Burdi, Tyler Waldron (PA), Pat Weber (Surgery Coordinator), Dr. Washburn, and the rest of the staff at Community Orthopedic.

I was first referred to Dr. Labovitch in 2009 when I was 68 y.o., for a torn rotator cuff and a…read morefractured greater tuberosity (bone) from an ice-skating accident. My goal was to regain 100% range of motion so I could resume my normal activities including my exercise regimen comprising dumbbells and chinning bar. I had spoken to a neighbor older than me who had a torn rotator cuff repaired and could not reach up much above her shoulder. That was not for me. I knew that young people and sports people required 100% restoration while old people probably did not care as much. My research of Dr. Labovitch revealed that he was a sports medicine physician. Sports people with an injury don't want to have any limitations after treatment, so that was the best sign that Dr. Labovitch was the orthopedic surgeon for me. When I went to his office, I gained my ultimate confidence when his waiting room was filled mostly with young people. My surgery was successful, and although it took a bit (maybe 9 months) of expected rehab effort on my part, done partly at home, I regained 100% range of motion, and my arm and shoulder felt no different from the way it was before my accident. I had several subsequent visits to Dr. Labovitch for different issues, and each time his diagnosis was perfect and my recovery complete and uneventful. When requiring PT I always went to California Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy at 36 Mauchly in Irvine, run by Anthony Bisaccia, who is very competent, has a great team, and is wonderful to work with.

The technician that did the X Ray was a young woman who did not give me a lead protection cover for my body. I asked her if I needed one and she said "No, you used to need one, but these days the machines are more advanced". But I chose to ask for one anyway. I just wanted to post this review because I don't think what I was told was correct. So the office manager should make sure their staff is protecting their patients during every X Ray. This is why I gave only a 2 Star rating. But they are good and Dr Labovitch is knowledgeable and nice.

​I am writing this to encourage anyone considering surgery here to strongly consider getting a…read moresecond opinion, as my experience felt more like a sales pitch than a thorough clinical evaluation. ​Clinical Findings: During my initial visit, the Physician Assistant indicated that my symptoms were very likely hamstring-related and that a meniscal cause was very unlikely. Notably, my meniscal tests during the physical exam were negative. ​However, during the follow-up, the surgeon focused completely on a horizontal meniscal tear identified on the MRI--a finding that is usually degenerative and often incidental or asymptomatic in nature. ​Omitted Information: Other relevant MRI findings were not disclosed. After requesting a copy of the MRI report myself, I learned there was also a semimembranosus (hamstring) tendon tear. This issue is not treated surgically, and it aligned perfectly with the PA's initial clinical assessment. ​This lack of disclosure regarding alternative explanations left me feeling that the focus was more on scheduling a procedure than on fully exploring the correct diagnosis. I would strongly encourage others to review their imaging reports personally and obtain a second opinion before proceeding with surgery here

Dr. Burdi ordered physical therapy and an MRI that showed that the L5-S1 joint degeneration was causing my pain. When physical therapy and cortisone shots were found to be ineffective, surgery was explained as the best way to address the pain. I was hesitant at first due to the lengthy recovery and time I would need to take off from work (I am a kindergarten teacher). However, I decided that surgery would be the best option for me and I am so glad I had the procedure. Dr. Burdi did a great job explaining the procedure and recovery. The pain after surgery was minimal and I was off pain medication by the second day. Getting in and out of bed took some help for the first few days until I was more mobile. I didn't realize how tiring daily activities would be after surgery and how frequently I would need to rest. Each week after surgery I noticed great improvement. I never completely understood how involved your back is in every day to day activity. I am stronger now than I was for years prior to my surgery and I am pain free. Make sure you utilize physical therapy and keep up your exercises at home. It makes a world of difference. Now being one year post-op, I am so glad I had the surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Burdi and his team to anyone that is struggling with back pain.
