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 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.

He one hundred percent deserves the respect, honor, and recognition for the human that he is and the amazing work that he performs. I believe he is retired now as he should. Congratulations Dr. Moscarello! Absolutely well deserved. You have touched my life and I have not met you at all! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. I would like to sincerely thank you in person, however, I am not sure how to reach out! Thank you so so much. You took in my family member during covid times and it was scary for me. You realized the severity of the fracture. Scheduled surgery asap and followed up with competent care and went above and beyond especially during the recovery period. Thank you Dr. Moscarello. Words are not enough to describe how truly appreciative I am for your expertise, your years of built up knowledge and wisdom, and the mannerisms and demeanor you exhibit to exude such calm and gentle grace for the people you care for. Enjoy your retirement. I wish you the absolute best and I hope you feel loved and treasured as you are an incredible human being and deserve all the great moments of retirement and anything beyond.

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.

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.

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.

Received my bill MONTHS later, only to find I was billed $535 for a set of these terrible inserts that are the same as ones I could have gotten at CVS. The total bill for a WART is $841 after insurance, bringing the bill to $1367. I contacted the billing department who then told me they would contact the front office staff and I received no response. I then called a second time and still have received no response from the front office, until today when I received another bill in the mail. My suggestion- find a different practice with a less rude office staff and more clear communication.

However, I had limited knee pain and no difficulty walking; the main issue was painful compensation on my left side. He outlined several treatment options, but the conversation seemed to focus on dismissing alternatives in favor of a total knee replacement which felt far too aggressive at this stage. It came across more like a sales pitch than a recommendation based on my best interests. There is no patient portal, nothing digitized, no texts, nothing. I personally find these features immensely helpful in understanding and organizing my ongoing treatment. Seems outdated since I don't think I have any providers without a portal these days. The few pages of pre-surgery information they sent me by mail seemed painfully inadequate. When I made the initial appt, they told me they accept Blue Shield PPO, but when I looked at the claim in the BS portal yesterday I noticed they were out of network. When I called to ask about it, I was told I should have asked or looked into it on my own, but I very rarely ever run into providers who aren't in network so I didn't think of it. So I guess that's on me. Maybe I'm being picky, but I feel that is a point worth mentioning especially when considering the huge expense of major surgery. Some of the portals that I mentioned above also let you know your insurance summary *before* the appt. To be fair, he was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and did not rush through the appointment. Clearly he has helped a lot of people so he's doing something right. But after considering all of the above, I decided not to move forward with the surgery.
