This was before he went over to Verdugo. But here's what made him special: he and his office obviously cared. Here I was, calling every orthopedic surgeon I could within a 20-mile radius for an emergency visit and NOT ONE OF THEM would see me or even return the call. Dr. Cann's office was the only one that seemed to care at all. They said, "Well, he really has no time available at all, his schedule is completely full, but come in anyway and somehow we'll fit you in." And he did. Only one doctor out of dozens I called. When I was in trouble, he came through. That says a lot.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Moradian and his incredible team, including Ruben,…read moreTiffany, Tina, and the entire staff. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with genuine kindness, compassion, and professionalism. Before seeing Dr. Moradian, I was in severe pain and could barely function. It had reached a point where I was no longer able to work, and my daily life was extremely difficult. After trying acupuncture and even strong medications, I still did not experience the relief I desperately needed. I was especially hesitant to move forward with an epidural due to a traumatic experience I had in the past while I was pregnant and in labor at a different facility with another physician. At that time, epidurals are typically performed without imaging, especially in an urgent labor setting, which contributed to my distress. Because of that experience, I was extremely fearful and delayed making the decision for quite some time. However, Dr. Moradian completely changed that experience. He explained that this procedure would be performed under imaging guidance, which immediately gave me more confidence and reassurance. He took the time to calm my fears, remained patient and attentive, and made sure I felt safe every step of the way. His gentle approach and professionalism truly set him apart. The procedure itself went smoothly from beginning to end. To my surprise, I felt minimal discomfort just the initial injection to numb the area before the epidural, and nothing more. Dr. Moradian was incredibly careful, kind, and reassuring throughout, especially knowing how anxious I was. His calm demeanor made all the difference. What truly sets Dr. Moradian apart is not only his skill, but his genuine care for his patients. He follows up, listens, and ensures you feel supported throughout your healing journey. His staff reflects that same level of excellence they are organized, attentive, and truly compassionate. As someone with experience in medical office management, I pay close attention to how a practice operates, from patient communication to staff coordination. I can confidently say this team exceeds expectations in every aspect. The environment is professional, welcoming, clean and centered around patient care. Thanks to Dr. Moradian, I am now doing significantly better and finally able to regain my quality of life. I am beyond grateful for the care I received and would recommend him without hesitation. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Dr. Moradian and his team truly go above and beyond. I feel blessed to have found them, and I sincerely thank them for helping me through such a difficult time.

I had my procedure with Dr. Kasimian on October 1st, 2014. I never considered writing a review…read morebefore but decided to write one today after reading a one star review because the patient "had to wait an hour," or the "staff was incompetent with scheduling" etc... Bottom line, Dr.Stepan Kasimian is BUSY because of the same reason your favorite restaurant only accepts reservations and there still is a wait, because they are EXCELLENT ! I want to give my story, as detailed as possible, without boring you the reader. Around September 2008, I hurt my lower back doing very heavy T-Bar rows at the gym. Back then in my naive youth years, I never properly stretched or warmed up, just hit the iron. Why not ? I'm invincible and I'm special. Nothing will EVER happen to me. Guess what ?? After 20 years of abusing my body, on September 2008, I found out the hard way that I wasn't so special, and I definitely was "breakable." The day after that memorable T-bar back workout, I felt this intense heat on my lower back. Something that I had never experienced before, and hopefully never will. After 1 or 2 hours of this heat, I started to feel this sharp pain, which became a dull pain off and on. The next morning, with zero exaggeration, I couldn't move out of bed. I took maybe 5 Tylenol's that day and didn't really think about it, hoping that it would pass. Fast forward 2 years later on 2010. My right thigh always was in pain when I stood up, accompanied with numbing in my big right toe. From 2010-2014, I literally had about 6 MRI's from 4 different doctors. Unfortunately, they all looked at me at gave me prescriptions for physical therapy and some prescribed me pills which I refused. I went back to these same doctors, 2 who were the "best" at Cedars and told them "it's been 4 years of leg pain, numb toes, and now my left leg if hurting when my right leg isn't." He told me to "hang on" it will get better because the MRI shows a small bulging disc(approximately 3-4 cm,) nothing in his opinion that would warrant an operation because I was "still walking" and I looked strong in his opinion. Around the summer of 2014, I met Dr. Kasimian, and yes, he was busy and there was a big wait. HE ACTUALLY LISTENED TO ME. I WILL REPEAT AGAIN, DR. KASIMIAN ACTUALLY LISTENED TO ME ! Compared to other doctors who you see for 5 minutes maximum in the office while charging your insurance company $1000. Dr. Kasimian after 20 minutes recommended I receive a brand new MRI because he wanted the most up to date information. 2-3 weeks later after the MRI Dr. Kasimian recommended a micro decompression on my L4/L5 and L5/S1. I had the procedure on October 1st of that year and was surprised to find out that I had a bone spur on my L5 vertebrae pushing down on a nerve which WAS NOT evident or visible on the MRI. THE SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS AND I TOLD DR. KASIMIAN THAT HE "Saved My Life !" I said that because he did. 6 years of sciatica isn't a joke, not including the mentall trauma I endured because of the chronic pain. Thumbs Down to Cedars Sinai Orthopedics who really didn't care because they believed if I was walking, surgery wasn't needed. THUMBS UP to Dr. Kasimian who really cared and took time to see what options were available to help me.

Despite the bad reviews prior to coming in, I still gave this place a chance but I wish I never…read morehad. I had a very disappointing experience at this orthopedic office with Dr.Bastian, and would not recommend it based on my visit. From the start, the interaction felt unprofessional. The physician greeted me in an overly casual manner ("bro/dude"), which immediately set an uncomfortable tone for a first-time patient encounter. Throughout the visit, he appeared rushed, spoke very quickly, and did not create space for me to explain my symptoms. I came in for evaluation of a painful cyst in my thumb and ongoing shoulder tendinosis. Instead of asking questions or performing a thorough assessment, he stated that he had reviewed my imaging and that "everything is fine" because I am young and healthy. My concerns about pain were dismissed without meaningful discussion or examination. What was most concerning, however, was the commentary about my insurance. When I mentioned my plan, it was referred to as cheap or something which felt highly inappropriate and unprofessional. Regardless of insurance type, patients deserve to be treated with respect and receive proper medical attention. Overall, I left feeling dismissed, unheard, and angry. I hope this feedback encourages the practice to improve patient communication, professionalism, and respect.

Dr. Lee changed my life. I went to him in February 2026 as a second opinion on a herniated disc…read more(L5/S1) that was pressing on my sciatic nerve and causing sever left leg pain. Prior to that appointment, I was in PT for 2 months which only made the pain worse and then received an epidural shot from a pain physician. The epidural shot wore off after 6 weeks and the pain came back in mid-March 2026 worse and persistent. I made the decision to get a microdiscectomy and got it done on April 21, 2026. Dr. Lee and his office is very professional. He takes his time and answers every question I had about the surgery, recovery, and anything I could think about. He never rushes me out the door and spends the time talking through everything with me. He called for two days after the surgery, and his team was able to answer any questions via phone I had. Dr. Lee has been a resource at several milestone appointments: 2 weeks post op, 6 weeks post op, and 4 months post op. He also gave me a great recommendation for the PT required after my 6 weeks of recovery. Two things I would like to point out is the hospital nurses all had great things to say about him the day of the surgery and kept telling me I was in good hands. The OR nurse even told me she's consulting with him about her pain. The PT office I selected based on Dr. Lee's recommendation has also been great. At my first appointment with them during the physical exam, based on my physical responses to the exam, they told me I had a great surgeon who worked on me, and I was in great shape just 6 weeks after the surgery. I know a full recovery can take up to a year so I am still in recovery and doing PT (more for my sanity) as I had a large herniated disc, but I am no longer in pain and feel like my prior self 95% of the time. I would recommend Dr. Lee in a heartbeat!

I was not impressed at all. Dr. Lee conducted his examination of my complaints. I explained that…read moreI had already had a nerve test and x-rays completed recently and offered to provide him with the disc from the facility that completed the tests. Dr. Lee was fine with this. I prepared the disc to be mailed off with the USPS, which required a signature once delivered to Dr. Lee's office. I did this because the disc has my Personal Health Information (PHI) and my Personal Identification Information (PII). I also called Dr. Lee's office and spoke his female staff members - twice - to alert them of the disc being sent and the need for someone's signature. I was brushed off and ignored. I few days later, I get a bill for the office visit. Long story short, my disc sat at the USPS in Glendale until it was returned to me by USPS as no one went into the USPS to sign for the disc. A female staffer calls me to ask if I had received their bill, to which I told her I had. She tells me to ignore it because they filed the claim wrong!?!? I would not recommend anyone going here.
