After a simple back stretch caused my legs to go numb, I knew something was seriously wrong. From my first consultation, Dr. Remi Ajiboye impressed me with his thorough evaluation and compassionate approach. He carefully reviewed my history, explained my MRI and X-ray findings, answered all my questions, and discussed every treatment option without ever pressuring me into surgery. My surgery was complex, requiring replacement of two discs and a vertebra, removal of damaged bone, and additional stabilization from L4-L5 to S1. Although my recovery was complicated by sepsis and nearly a month in the hospital, Dr. Ajiboye remained deeply involved in my care. He visited me regularly, monitored my healing, evaluated my posture and walking, and kept both my husband and me informed every step of the way. Dr. Ajiboye is an exceptionally skilled surgeon who is also compassionate, respectful, and genuinely dedicated to his patients. His expertise and commitment gave me confidence throughout a very difficult journey. I highly recommend Dr. Remi Ajiboye to anyone needing spine surgery or specialized back care.

Our insurance referred us to this office because my daughter had a "buckle fracture." Was told…read morethese heal fast and usually a cast is not needed. When we were called back, the doc did not even come in yet, they just sent someone in to give her a cast. I said I wanted her to be looked at first and we were going for a brace instead. The doctor came in, seeming somewhat annoyed that I had questioned the cast. He still did not ask my 8 year old daughter one question about how it was feeling, did not even touch her arm. He still suggested a cast for conservative reasons, which I understand, but I still requested a brace. He explained he would order for her. As we were checking out I was handed a paper telling me when we needed to come in next (I wasn't asked if I was available). I said I couldn't make that appointment and was kind of insinuated that's all they had?? The doc said we could just have our x-rays sent there (which was nice) and his father would look at them. We never got approval for another xray in that time frame. I called her pediatrician and they got her an x-ray appointment next day and an appointment with children's hospital La in Torrance. At this point she is still wearing her same split from urgent care she got two weeks ago. We brought her x-rays to CHLA and omg night and day difference. The staff and doc were so nice and caring with her. She asked her how she was feeling, touched her arm in different spots and moved it asking how it felt. No pain. Then looked at x-ray and said "oh ya she definitely doesn't need a cast, a brace will do great. Asked her what color she wanted and offered a brace she could also wear in the pool since it's summer and she has had to miss some pool time. So accommodating and nice. Based on our experience would not recommend this office.
