I had been having issues for…read moreapproximately three years; constant pain, lack of sleep, and unable to move my head back and forth. I consulted with five doctors about my issues, and they all told me that after the surgery, I would be unable to turn my head. Dr Ostrup was recommended by quite a few people. He worked with me for quite some time before we finally decided on having the surgery. After the surgery, and once the anesthesia wore off, I was feeling great. It's been two weeks and I have much more movement in my neck and the pain is less each day. I am so grateful and appreciative of Dr Ostrup's perfection. I consider him my guardian angel. I would give him 10 stars. Thank you Dr Ostrup.

I back-padlled for 2 years with this option for my lumbar problem. I finally acquiesced after consulting with 3 other orthopedic surgeons who couldn't provide a solution for my lumber. After the approximately 9 hr surgery, I had to relearn basic daily physical activities,i.e, bathe, dress, etc. At 6 mo follow up I told him how dissatisfied I was in my new body and current symptoms. On my 'after visit summary' with Dr Mundis he said: Ouote; "I was very open and honest with her that correcting the scoliosis was not a necessary portion of the operation". He also stated that "my goal was to make her more balanced". I didn't feel out of balance before the operation. I'm completely out of balance now and dizziness is chronic after the surgery on my scoliosis that "was not a necessary portion of the operation". I've sent Dr Mundis messages to please talk to me about this on 09/24, 09/26 and 10/22. I'm still waiting for a response.

Run from this out of control doctors office…read more I scheduled with Dr Brown over a month in advance, only to receive a text message two days before that my appointment was at a different time. I called and spoke with Cindy, who said that the doctor was not available that afternoon. In that case, I asked if I could come the early the following week as I was traveling later in the week. Nothing was available. When I asked if she could bump someone else like they did to me, in order to make room, she got belligerent and started yelling at me on the phone. She said she'd worked for Dr Brown for 23 years and she's never bumped anyone (though that's what happened to me). Ultimately she could reschedule me, but I have to wait nearly another month entirely. I have never even met with the Doctor, but I can't understand how Cindy can remain employed for 23 years by getting angry with and yelling at new clients on the phone. Unless you don't any other options, I'd recommend you avoid this office at all costs.

Multiple myeloma:…read more There are a lot of questions that need to be answered by the tests. But that will unfold smoothly. I am a very lucky man to be on this voyage to to be cured of blood cancer/Multiple myelom at San Diego Scripps Grreen hospital, the best hospital that I've ever been in, not that i've ever been in a "Four Seasons resort" Medicare Hospital Supplement. Reportedly, an 85% chance of full remission in the U.S. for Multiple myeloma. That includes everybody in the world no matter what condition they are or their age. I believe that percentage is likely higher because of this Green hospital, the top notch doctors & nurses who selectively work there, and my attitude to have fun while I succeed. Foremost, the "food is to order" and medical service by everyone is fantastic. I've been on "order first"/" sight-unseen" steroids aggressively fighting this for a number of days before I even check in. Oncologist Dr. Bryan Pham was the initial point Doctor for me and is one of the many All-Star gurus of the team. He sat down and hugged me. He knew exactly what to do from the beginning. I love him. On my very first visit to Dr. Pham, he did a bone marrow biopsy. It did not hurt too bad because everything was numbed before the procedure and until the first night. That night was the most painful night of my life once the numbness wore off. That's okay though because they have meds so you survive. I was never worried. Before he stuck the needle into me, he asked me what kind of music I wanted to hear ("Mr. Chin," by the beloved albino Jamaican legend Yellowman" who survived jaw bone cancer in the face) so the biopsy would be relaxing.. Dr. Pham thankfully fast-tracked everything. The wizard, the genius, head hancho Dr. Dimitrios Tzachanis, MD, PhD, magically runs things. "Dr. T" makes you feel you are so fortunate to be among such a mystic, amazing grasp of the overall medical effects and chronological steps. Dr. Michaela Miller "Doctor of the Month" is primarily among other Superwomen doctors who all work with each other and make sure that you get successful anytime treatment and any necessary appointment on the spot at the hospital as soon as possible; it doesn't matter what time of day or night. Noor Qaddour, DO, and Bijan Roshan, MD, carefully show up with hands on in places you nay not think, e.g. lab, kidneys. More necessary checks and balances! There are so many good doctors and nurses, I'm blown away. There are so many top notched medical specialists, I don't know where to stop. They know who they are. They work at Scripps. They are my heroes. Of course, I would have never got here without my wonderful wife or cat. My cat Butters saved my life. Over a week ago I was petting my cat. Then he decided to pick up the love by digging his claws into my wrist, which resulted in a blood poisonous bruise which was clearly infected ( visible to my wife), leading to an emergency room trip to a Motel Six style hospital / hotel. When we walked in, a man was yelling that a truck ran over his foot. I was messed up; I needed to switch hospitals. Everything was properly addressed at Scripps. I have been and will be continuously treated until cured. I have a very positive and fun attitude, a must. I have simply continued to do as told. I have Multiple myeloma (requiring apx. 7 radiation treatments) plus easy-to-do chemotherapy, treatment of cancer lesions in the back, possible bloodclots (which is why I wear compression socks and take a blood thinner, improved kidneys, and important procedures of anything needed on every level. We're winning. It's not gonna be easy or a quick fix. Good things in life take work and time. No pain no gain. The Doctors feel good about where we are now. I am extremely satisfied and feel blessed. I can't say enough. They really care about their 1st class "modern medicine" treatments. The doctor came in and thanked us for being good patients. The doctor always looks at my wonderful wife because he knows she is the one he can trust. She is spearheading this positive direction. I am trying to have fun. If I could just make one person laugh every day. I will.
