    I have been seeing Dr. Lee for several years now. Dr. Lee is…read morevery caring and always takes the time to listen and answer all questions. I never feel like he is rushing me to see his next appointment. I have had two spine procedures so far and they have both helped tremendously. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his very courteous staff.

    I am writing this review as a patient who has lived with serious back problems for many years -- so…read morelong, in fact, that at one point I even thought about becoming a doctor myself just to understand what was happening to my body. I have had back problems since I was 16 years old. Over the years, I visited countless doctors, chiropractors, and manual therapists, and I tried numerous devices and treatments for a herniated disc. Eventually, surgery became unavoidable. In 2022, I had my first back surgery with a different doctor. It went well, and I was able to return to my normal life. Unfortunately, after an injury, my same hernia came back. What followed were days of significant pain and sleepless nights after the injury. Fortunately, I was able to get an appointment within a few days, and Dr. Scott Lee immediately prescribed the right treatment to control the pain and stabilize my condition until the day of surgery. From the very first visit, Dr. Lee's professionalism, meticulous approach, and calm confidence immediately earned my trust. He carefully evaluated my condition, ordered updated MRI scans, and clearly explained the treatment options before choosing the best path forward. His manner was reassuring and thoughtful, which made a huge difference during such a stressful time. On the day of the surgery, something really stood out to me: the hospital staff were genuinely excited to be working with Dr. Lee. Everyone I interacted with spoke highly of his skills and reassured me that I was in excellent hands. They were absolutely right. The surgery went smoothly, without any complications. I was discharged about an hour later -- and unbelievably, I walked the very same day with no pain in my legs, feet, or back. That feeling was incredible and truly life-changing. Dr. Lee even personally called me after the surgery to check on my condition, scheduled follow-up appointments, and gave clear advice on recovery and post-operative care. This level of attention and care is exactly what patients hope for -- and rarely experience. I am deeply grateful for the entire process, from my very first call to the office to schedule an appointment, all the way through recovery. I would also like to give special thanks to the office staff, who were always supportive, responsive, and patient in handling my questions and requests. In conclusion, if you are looking for a spine specialist and are unsure where to go, don't hesitate -- go see Dr. Scott Lee. You will be thankful not only to him, but also to yourself for making the right choice.

After a quick exam on my mother, he determined she had piriformis syndrome and a stenosis condition, and he scheduled her for an injection that he was to perform. After the procedure, my mother's pain got much worse. He had prescribed pain killers, but they weren't helping. We called his office to see if she could take a higher dose, but after a couple of business days, Dr. Villanueva did not get back to us. We called a third time and were told she could take a higher dose. We asked for a follow-up appointment, since she was in even more pain than before the epidural shot he administered. Then the day before her scheduled follow-up, the office called to say they had to reschedule it to the following week. We got very angry that my mother clearly wasn't doing well and that we couldn't get his attention for a follow up. They then took us as a "walk in," and after several hours of waiting, the doctor finally got to examine my mother. During this visit, Dr. Villanueva prescribed a lumbar MRI. The MRI revealed severe stenosis pressing directly on the sciatic nerve. At that point it was clear that only spinal surgery could solve this issue. We proceeded to find a qualified surgeon, and my mother's condition improved dramatically about 3 weeks after the operation. I question Dr. Villanueva's ethics. He was quick to determine that my mother had piriformis syndrome, which was not the case. He should have initially referred her for a lumbar MRI to even see what the problem was. A principled doctor would have determined from the MRI that her stenosis condition was severe and not something a simple epidural could fix. Instead, Dr. John Villanueva took the insurance money to do his thing. We wasted a lot of time and went through a lot of aggravation instead of getting a competent diagnosis from the start. He was slow to respond and did not show empathy for my mother's extreme pain level.

My first doctor tried pain injections that provided relief for about 6 weeks. He recommended I see an orthopaedic surgeon. I will say that Dr. Moses has excellent support staff and the practice seems to run smoothly. I didn't have to wait long to see the doctor. That's pretty much where the good ended. before even seeing the doctor, I was taken in for wrist x-rays. Nothing was explained to me. When I saw Dr. Moses, I felt he didn't listen to my description of the several years of treatment I have undergone, instead he ordered MRIs that my insurance carrier would not approve due to the lack of medical reasoning that Dr. Moses provided. After my first set of MRIs were denied by my insurance I went for a second visit with Dr. Moses -- again, I was switched away for x-rays before seeing the doctor. Again, nothing was explained to me. And once Dr. Moses came in the room, he simply put through another order for MRIs. Not surprisingly these were also denied. At both appointments I suggested he include information of my past years of treatment to assist insurance in understanding the necessity for the MRIs. He did not. The second set of MRIs were denied by my insurance for the same reason. All in all I feel that this was an enormous waste of my time and money. I'm now going back to my doctor at Cedar Sinai, in hopes of finding an alternative solution.
