Our son Wade B. was born with a clubfoot. We found out at our 20-week appointment and were…read moreimmediately referred to Dr. Robert Kay at the Cedars-Sinai Spine Center. We were upset, but one of the first things I did was talk to my cousin, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who did his fellowship year at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. He asked me who our doctor was, and when I told him Dr. Kay, he said that's exactly who he would have recommended. We first met Dr. Kay before Wade was born, and he prepared us for the journey to come, laying out the treatment plan and patiently answering all of our questions. I liked him immediately, and my admiration for him has only grown over the past four years. He's an incredible doctor, kind, patient, and gentle, with a calming manner. He was born to do what he does, to take care of children and reassure their parents. Wade came out with the prophesied funny foot, and treatment began when he was six days old, in September 2022. It started with a series of casts, a new one each week as he grew, to correct the alignment of the foot. Then, at five weeks, Dr. Kay performed a small surgery, called a tenotomy, basically snipping the Achilles tendon to allow it to grow longer and more flexible as it healed. He explained that no one understood why this happened, but that it always worked for babies. The surgery was successful, and it was followed by one last cast, after which the clubfoot was corrected, at eight weeks. Then came almost three years of bracing, to ensure the foot didn't revert. Wade wore his boots and bar--like a little snowboard--23 hours a day for six months. After that, he only had to wear the brace at night, and it became a natural part of his bedtime routine. He wore that thing every night until his third birthday. The bulk of Dr. Kay's work was done after the surgery, but we saw him several more times for follow-ups at the spine center. We're not quite done--we have to schedule a six-month check-up next month--but the boots are off now, and Wade's feet are perfect. We'd been prepared for different shoe sizes, but even Dr. Kay has a hard time telling the feet apart. I know the outcome was not entirely in Dr. Kay's control, but he did wonderful work with Wade's clubfoot and was lovely to deal with all throughout this long process. Everyone else at the spine center was great, too, always helpful and friendly. Dr. Kay also works at CHLA, and I'm glad that he was our doctor at Cedars, and that so many of L.A.'s children have access to his care. This is my 5,000th Yelp review, and today happens to be my 40th birthday. I wanted to write about something meaningful for this one, and I can't think of a better choice than the Cedars-Sinai Spine Center and Dr. Kay, who gave my son his walking feet.

While I want to give Docs Health 5 stars, I can't quite yet...due to the incompetence of the…read morescheduling team and poor communication. First off, I want to note that my doctor (Cooper) and his specific team are absolutely fantastic--they are five stars, no question. It's Docs Health scheduling team/communication, that I take issue with. I set up a surgery back in January, for mid February. Called, confirmed, on the schedule. Had some touch bases and then they sort of...fell off. I had issues getting a hold of anyone in the office. When I FINALLY did...it turns out they had actually never scheduled me. Excuse me? At this point, I had a caretaker scheduled, had put my life on hold, etc. The first resolution was "oh good news, we can get you in by end of month, probably." Uh, no. This is where Dr Cooper actually had to step in--he got me on his books two days after my original surgery was scheduled for. He was extremely apologetic, about the whole situation, as well. When you are physically in front of staff, everything has been absolutely great. My surgery was easy and the medical center is very nice, as is the staff. I have more appointments and surgeries coming up and so far, things have been good-my understanding is that they knew they had issues with the schedulers and have found new ones. The offices themselves are very nice, with snacks and easy valet parking, that is validated for up to an hour. With that being said--there could also be improvement on their app. Reaching out via it is absolutely terrible. I work in HCIT and with the level of care that Dr. Snibbe claims to have at Docs Health....the app is pretty useless. If scheduling and app communication gets it together, I'd be willing to bump this up. Separate review coming for Dr Cooper, because, as I said he and his team deserve their own 5 stars.

Second chance at life…read more I've never experienced so much gratitude, love, and appreciation in my life. I lived with two years of debilitating nerve impingement at L4-L5. I was already at the lowest point of my life emotionally, and fitness was all I had to process my pain. As the nerve damage worsened, I tried **three epidurals** -- only one helped. I lost my insurance and couldn't afford surgery. For six months, I woke up every day with intense nerve pain, cramping, and ankle lock-up. I would fall to the floor in tears just trying to get out of bed. It stripped away my confidence and made me question everything. I was terrified of spine surgery. My sister has polio and is paralyzed in both legs -- so I feared what could go wrong. But when I finally got insurance back, I chose Dr. Saadat at [Cedars-Sinai](https://www.cedars-sinai.org) and [Orange County Orthopedic Institute](https://orangecountyorthopedic.com). He had just had a baby, but **he made time for me**. He listened. He understood. His team treated me with compassion and professionalism from the start. I sent a video to show him the pain I was living with -- and he didn't ignore it. He called me. He met me. He **scheduled me fast**. I was scared, but I was also **shown grace**. The surgery went beautifully. **My nerve pain is gone.** I still have some healing to do -- back soreness and incision pain -- but it's improving **little by little every day**. This experience taught me how much pain the elderly and disabled live with. It gave me a new understanding of what it means to suffer -- and to heal. And it reminded me that life is a gift. I have a great respect for doctors. I now have a tremendous understanding of what it takes to be one of the best doctors in the world. When I look at the way Dr. Saadat takes care of his patients and his business, it makes me ask myself: *"What have I done with my life?" I could do so much more. Much love and always respect. #thepoet. With gratitude, Kabir Singh https://www.kabirsvoice.com

I saw many surgeons for my cervical spine issues. The who's who of spine surgery in LA. All of them…read morewere impressive and at the top of their field. But even among this elite group, Dr. Ehsan Saadat stood out as the one doctor who I would entrust with my spine, and by extension my life and the future of my children, above everyone else. As a scientist myself, I know a remarkable and detail-oriented mind when I see one, and Dr. Saadat is as good at it gets. My case was not straightforward: I saw 6 different and distinguished spine surgeons and got almost as many different opinions on what to do. Dr. Saadat spent a lot of time thinking through my case, he referenced the latest scientific evidence, and he consulted his trusted colleagues on my behalf to double check his own judgement. He also spent a lot of time emailing back and forth with me to discuss the pros and cons of various approaches rigorously, patiently, and honestly. On a human level, It became clear pretty early that Dr Saadat is caring and generous with his time and attention. I can imagine that when you do something as demanding as spine surgery for a living, day in and day out, then no matter your level of empathy it becomes easy to forget that what is routine to you can be one of the most scary and nerve-wracking experiences for each of your patients. Not Dr. Saadat; he treated my case with the same level of thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and meticulous planning that one would usually reserve for their own family. I felt that my spine is in good hands all throughout the process. Dr. Saadat is also a man of great integrity. The surgery we ended up going with is far from the most expensive for my condition, but it was the best tradeoff between risk and reward. He talked me out of a more expensive surgery --- which is something he also specializes in ---- because he believed something simpler is a better risk/reward tradeoff for me, despite it being a close call. He based this on evidence, data, sound judgement, and consultation with trusted colleagues. That's the kind of honesty, care, and impartiality you want in your corner. Leading up to surgery, Dr. Saadat made the time to sit down with me and explain in detail what he was planning to do. He had a well-thought out answer to every question I asked, and I asked many as I had spent the past two months reading and watching everything I can find related to my spine condition. It became clear that he left no stone unturned in preparing his team for my surgery, and making sure I'm comfortable with everything he planned to do in there. He explained how he will use every modality of Neuro monitoring available, how he would decide which size and angle of implant he would use based on what he finds when he goes in there, and many other details. Best of all, he assembled a team in place that would be able to handle every contingency, and he told me about them. Notably, he explained how he will be joined by an exceptional neurosurgeon colleague in the operating room; this turned out to be a prescient judgement call, as they discovered dangerous adhesions to the covering of my spinal cord once they opened me up, a grave challenge that Dr. Saadat's all-star team overcame with precision. Without Dr. Saadat's meticulous preparation, his refusal to leave anything to chance, and his dedication to leaving no stone unturned for the benefit of his patients, I might have been left permanently disabled or worse. I am thankful I chose someone who was able to keep me safe, give me my life back, and safeguard for my children their father. On surgery day, I experienced no hardships. The last thing I remember before surgery was joking around with the anaesthesia team as they injected something in my IV, and the next moment I was talking to Dr. Saadat as he was checking my strength after surgery while I told him how I was feeling remarkably little pain. I was released 24 hours later after staying overnight for observation, and left the hospital virtually pain free feeling as if nothing happened, having to consciously remind myself to take it easy. Once all was said and done, my surgical outcome has been great, and I'm continuing to recover nicely with all my pain and symptoms seemingly a thing of the past. Dr. Saadat has been with me every step of the way, generous with his time and his attention as always. I couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you Dr. Saadat for the care and attention you showed me, for leaving no stone unturned to keep me safe, and for your sage and generous guidance throughout this difficult time.

From my very first appointment, Dr. Rasouli and his entire team were not only exceptionally talented but also incredibly compassionate and empathetic. They took the time to answer my questions, made me feel comfortable throughout the process, and genuinely cared about my recovery. Before surgery, I could barely stand, walk, or sit for more than 30 seconds because of severe nerve pain. The most amazing moment was waking up after surgery and realizing that the extreme nerve pain I'd been living with was gone. Just two weeks into recovery, I was already seeing major improvements. Today marks three weeks since surgery, and I'm back to driving, running errands, and becoming stronger every day. While I still have healing ahead of me, I can already see myself getting back to the things I love most--hiking, working out, traveling, and producing events. Choosing Dr. Rasouli was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're considering spine surgery and want a surgeon who combines extraordinary skill with genuine compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rasouli and his outstanding team.

We came to Dr. Cho for her scoliosis follow-up and also to review a recent shoulder MRI. From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. The front desk staff was friendly, we waited only a few minutes, and everyone made us feel welcome. What impressed me most about Dr. Cho was his knowledge, honesty, and efficiency. I am not a doctor, but after 7 years of seeing many specialists, I have learned a lot by listening to the questions they ask and how they evaluate patients. Dr. Cho stands out. Within minutes of watching my daughter walk, stand, and move, he noticed things that many doctors miss. His observations were incredibly accurate, and it was impressive how much information he gathered simply by examining her posture and movement. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I also appreciated his approach to treatment. He recognized the value of non-surgical therapies, including Schroth therapy by Doctor Masha, and explained that surgery should be the last resort. That honest, patient-first mindset is not something you find with every surgeon. Another thing that impressed me was how efficient his office is. We received his detailed report the very same evening, which was amazing. I would also like to thank Justin Morman, the X-ray technician, who was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the visit. Dr. Cho was wonderful with my daughter, his staff was excellent, and his expertise is undeniable. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with scoliosis, spine, hip, or orthopedic issues. Thank you, Dr. Cho and your team, for the outstanding care.
