I was first referred to Dr. Labovitch in 2009 when I was 68 y.o., for a torn rotator cuff and a…read morefractured greater tuberosity (bone) from an ice-skating accident. My goal was to regain 100% range of motion so I could resume my normal activities including my exercise regimen comprising dumbbells and chinning bar. I had spoken to a neighbor older than me who had a torn rotator cuff repaired and could not reach up much above her shoulder. That was not for me. I knew that young people and sports people required 100% restoration while old people probably did not care as much. My research of Dr. Labovitch revealed that he was a sports medicine physician. Sports people with an injury don't want to have any limitations after treatment, so that was the best sign that Dr. Labovitch was the orthopedic surgeon for me. When I went to his office, I gained my ultimate confidence when his waiting room was filled mostly with young people. My surgery was successful, and although it took a bit (maybe 9 months) of expected rehab effort on my part, done partly at home, I regained 100% range of motion, and my arm and shoulder felt no different from the way it was before my accident. I had several subsequent visits to Dr. Labovitch for different issues, and each time his diagnosis was perfect and my recovery complete and uneventful. When requiring PT I always went to California Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy at 36 Mauchly in Irvine, run by Anthony Bisaccia, who is very competent, has a great team, and is wonderful to work with.

A few years ago when Dr Labovitch was in Newport Beach, I came in to have my shoulder looked at…read more They wanted to do an X Ray. The technician that did the X Ray was a young woman who did not give me a lead protection cover for my body. I asked her if I needed one and she said "No, you used to need one, but these days the machines are more advanced". But I chose to ask for one anyway. I just wanted to post this review because I don't think what I was told was correct. So the office manager should make sure their staff is protecting their patients during every X Ray. This is why I gave only a 2 Star rating. But they are good and Dr Labovitch is knowledgeable and nice.

Everyone did a phenomenal job explaining the procedure during pre-op, but what really stood out was how lighthearted and funny they were. They cracked jokes throughout the process, which helped calm our nerves, because let's be honest, most people are at least a little anxious before anesthesia. Dr. Chi was fantastic at explaining the surgery and making sure my husband felt informed. The anesthesiologist (Dr. Gananiyja? Sorry lol doctor's handwriting in the notes is real ) was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor that put us at ease. A special shoutout to the pre-op nurse too (we can't remember if her name was Elaine or Daniela!). She explained everything she was doing, even when placing the needles, which was reassuring and helped my husband feel comfortable. Overall, such an amazing experience. We're so grateful for the incredible care from everyone on the team!

Hopefully I will never need another orthopedic surgery, but if I do, I can tell you, I'm coming back here.

When I was in a state of anxiety and trying to see as many doctors as possible to get different…read moreopinions, I found Dr. Melikian at DISC. I had generally good experiences with doctors I had seen there in the past. He is more of a spine specialist, focusing on the neck and back. When I came in, I was having issues with both my neck and shoulders. After looking at my neck X-rays and MRIs, he noted that my shoulders were likely the bigger issue at the time. I could move my neck up and down without too much trouble, but my shoulders had difficulty rotating. Despite that, he was able to refer me to another DISC doctor, Dr. Shore. More importantly, I never felt like I was being rushed out the door, unlike many doctors who seem to just want to get patients in and out for a paycheck. In fact, toward the end of my appointment, he made sure I did not have any more questions before we parted. To me, that is a sign of a doctor who actually cares, which feels surprisingly rare given the number of doctors I have seen over the last several years. While he was great, I also have to give a special shoutout to his assistant, Joanna. She might be one of the best doctor's assistants I have seen. The assistants I have known generally get a good idea of what is going on and log your symptoms so the doctor can look at you more efficiently, but Joanna went above and beyond. She did more than a typical assistant would by checking the multiple issues I was having, including rotator tests, hand-grip strength, shoulder rotation, and various sensitive points. Similar to Dr. Melikian, I felt like she genuinely cared about what was going on and wanted to make sure I was receiving the right treatment. She was the first person to make me realize that I needed to focus more on my shoulder. Of course, she still told the doctor about everything just in case, but it says something when an assistant does more thorough checks than some actual MDs I have seen. It also says something that, even though I did not receive treatment from Dr. Melikian and he ultimately referred me elsewhere, he was one of the few doctors who was very assertive about making sure I scheduled a follow-up appointment. Even when I was in a rush to leave, his assistant reached out and emailed me to schedule an appointment, making sure I was okay with it. That is the sign of a doctor who really cares. Overall, in a weird way, I am kind of sad that my issues were not more related to my neck, since both Dr. Melikian and his assistant, Joanna, were great. Based on the reviews I have seen on Yelp and Google, many people seem to have had similarly positive experiences. If your issues are more related to your neck or back, I would consider getting an opinion from Dr. Melikian.

I came here to see Dr. Bryce Johnson for a second opinion since I was diagnosed with cervical…read moreradiculopathy. I mostly wanted to get a second opinion on what to do because my first neurosurgeon, whom I saw, just said to go to physical therapy for now, and that's it. Apparently other people have scheduling issues but at least for me, when I called the number on the website, I'm usually able to get someone to take my call for appointments only after a little bit and they're pretty responsive even through text messages. Before I saw Dr. Bryce Johnson, thankfully, at the office, I was able to get free X-rays done with my appointment, which helped since my insurance already covered my appointment with him. After seeing Dr. Bryce Johnson, I can definitely see why people say he is very no-nonsense and to the point. The first thing he asked was how he could help. I briefly described the pain I was feeling in my neck and the tingling I was experiencing, and I mentioned that my neurosurgeon just recommended physical therapy for now and that I wanted a second opinion, which he understood. He more or less agreed and just suggested I potentially see him again for a future appointment. While I am glad he did not rush me into surgery or anything, I'm kind of disappointed. He didn't give me a specific time frame to potentially see him again after doing physical therapy (though, to be fair, my original neurosurgeon didn't either) nor did he offer any potential alternatives or advice to deal with my symptoms, which included pretty bad neck pain, especially when falling asleep. That said, I can't give this place too low a rating because of the free X-rays. But I can't deny that I was kind of hoping for more, and it doesn't help that the typical wait times for doctor appointments are long, even when you come in early.

Dr. Lin and Dr. Park Over the summer of 2025, I was…read moreassaulted. Among the injuries I sustained, the most significant were skull base fractures and fractures of my orbit, which led the emergency doctors to diagnose me with traumatic optic neuropathy. After consultations with maxillofacial specialists and ophthalmologists, I was told I was legally blind, 20/230, and that this was now my life. Devastated, I reached out to Dr. Lin who was highly referred by a longtime family friend. She felt he and his team should see me and offer other opinions. While Western medicine may refer to Dr. Lin as a "physical therapist," I don't think that language fully defines what he does. At our first meeting, he was gentle, attentive, and deeply aware of my condition. His method is difficult for me to fully articulate, but it was unlike anything the physicians I had seen before had provided. Dr. Lin created a treatment plan in collaboration with his in-house acupuncturist, Dr. Park, and the two of them treated me in concert. I visited them about once a month. Dr. Park performed acupuncture targeting specific hemispheres they agreed would be beneficial, while Dr. Lin used manual techniques, pressing, pulling, and adjusting different parts of my face and body. One moment stands out clearly in my memory. As Dr. Park had acupuncture needles placed in the points she selected, Dr. Lin pressed a section of my face under my eye with significant pressure. The instant he released, my nasal passage cleared dramatically. I had been so focused on my vision that I ignored other parts of my body that also needed attention. This is what impressed me most: their understanding of the interconnectedness of the human body, and the way each system affects the next. Even though I came in focused on a single issue, they recognized that other problems could be developing or stagnating and that treating one area would likely set off a domino effect. They addressed everything collectively rather than isolating one symptom. Dr. Park also gave me homework: changes to my diet, foods to avoid, preferred cooking methods, and even the temperature of liquids I should consume. Detailed instructions that had never been offered nor had I considered. Western medicine had only offered me chemical treatments or surgeries to remove or implant. Dr. Lin was one of the few who was relieved I had not had a surgery and was not taking medication. In my most desperate moment, when the reality of vision loss was fresh and overwhelming, they helped keep hope alive. I am happy to say that I have since improved to 20/40 vision. Slowly, every day I feel a little better. I am not claiming that Dr. Park and Dr. Lin performed miracles. What I do believe is that the treatment they provided stimulated something meaningful in my recovery. Maybe I would have healed to this extent without them, maybe not. But I wholeheartedly feel that their treatment encouraged my body to heal itself. I am four months removed from the incident, I have my vision back and I feel great. Recovery is not complete, but I am in a place now that my Ophthalmologist told me never to expect. Thank you to both Dr. Lin and Dr. Park. I could not be more grateful.

I finally get the hype! Dr. Erikson is SUPER knowledgeable and I literally felt and saw immediate results which was shocking. We all know shoulder injuries are complex because of all the muscles in the shoulders but he almost knew immediately what the issue was and made me laugh through the most painful parts (which was really minimal if I'm being honest). He also did an overall check and found that my back is also not in mint condition as I can see by one of my legs being shorter than the other. The way that he explained and showed what was going on and what he's trying to do made me feel so comfortable for my first adjustment. And about that massage... well the massage was DEEP - this is not your relaxing spa day but it is healing! Another thing I value about this office, aside from it being SUPER clean, is that they do not push you to spend your money. Yes, you have to pay for your treatment but there is no pressure to come more than you want to even if the Doctor recommends more. This makes me trust them even more so I'm happy to call Dr. Erikson my doctor that is going to see me through recovery! I can't wait to give an update once I'm further along in care. Thank you to Dr. Erikson and the entire team for the amazing experience!

You can genuinely tell they enjoy working there because they always greet you with a big smile. Everyone has been incredibly attentive, patient, and responsive to my calls, questions, and needs. I recently had carpal tunnel release and ulnar nerve transposition surgery performed by Dr. Roger Sohn. I was initially reluctant to undergo surgery because I had heard stories from others whose surgeries with different doctors had not gone well. Naturally, I was nervous. I'm so happy to say that my experience was completely different. My surgery went extremely well, and I could not be happier with the results. I experienced very minimal pain and, most importantly, no nerve numbness. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Roger Sohn and his PA, Theresa Ho. They have both been wonderful throughout this entire process, responsive, caring, and patient. They took the time to explain everything to me in detail, including the procedure and what to expect during my recovery. I never felt rushed or that my questions were unimportant. I highly recommend Dr. Roger Sohn and Theresa Ho, PA, without reservation. Because of the confidence and trust they have earned from me, I am now scheduled to have carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand, followed by surgery to repair two tears in my rotator cuff. Going into these next procedures, I have no doubts or concerns. I feel confident that I am in excellent hands and that these surgeries will be just as successful.
