Very, very similar to a lot of the other reviews, I went to visit this doctor at the recommendation of my primary care physician. What a horrible experience. If you're reading this, DO NOT TRUST THIS DOCTOR. Do not visit this doctor. Do not listen to him when he tells you you need surgery. This is pretty much one of the worst doctors I've ever experienced in my life. Horrible bedside manner, doesn't talk to you doesn't explain things, rushes you and pushes you into surgery or tells you you'll never feel better. Forces cortisone shots on you if you ask for any serious advice on how to make your hand or wrist or whatever you're dealing with feel better. My hand/wrist is in more pain than it was before seeing this doctor and trusting him to perform surgery on me. So many complications, my entire wrist was swollen up weeks after the surgery and never once did I get a call back from him. When I went to visit their office, I was passed off to random people. He could care less now that he already billed for the surgery. A normal doctor would care if something wasn't going right, a normal doctor would care if you were in more pain after the surgery then before. When I went to visit him, he says "well I have no idea why you're still in pain, I can just offer you a Cortisone shot" ---- Say what??!! You are the expert (allegedly). I'm going to schedule an appointment to meet with a different doctor and I will consider legal action if it is determined that he performed a useless, medically unnecessary surgery. It seems like that seems to be his way of practicing medicine. SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!! TRUST ME.... FIND A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!!! read more

Was referred by my primary doctor for an injury to my hand. Dr. Moskow never asked if I was in pain, or details of how it happened. Maybe he read my doctor's notes but at least inform me that's the case. They took and charged me for another xray even though I brought a CD with my X-rays from 9 days before my appointment . He looked at the X-ray and said I'll be fine just do some hand exercises. He didn't seem caring or detail oriented, more of a dismissive attitude. Not what I was expecting. The office staff was nice. But I would look elsewhere for a different doctor. read more

Excellent. Explained my condition and treatment thoroughly, and it helped. I didn't wait long. He and his staff are all polite.

Dr. Moskow lure you in for surgery , and makes appointments any time you want to visit him before the operation . After surgery the story changes, good luck finding him! I can't even get hold of him! All you get is a very uncourteous nurse keeping you for half an hour in closed room if you are lucky. I left the examination room after 30 minutes , no one even asked what happened. hope they haven't charged my insurance company! I will check with my insurance company tomorrow. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Moskow for about 10 years. He performed a tennis elbow surgery that did not go too well. I still have problems. Per his recommendation I decided to see him for A PRP procedure. I had to leave several messages for someone to call back. The scheduling and front office staff did not return my call. He is so busy now that I had to schedule 3 months in advance and contact my primary care physician to extend the referral. On the day of the appointment while I was driving to his office, I got a call from his assistant that Dr Moskow will not be in and that I need to reschedule my appointment! I find this completely unacceptable. I went through a great deal of trouble to coordinate with my work and secure a sick day. They literally called me within an hour of my appointment. Dr Moskow clearly has no respect for my time. I will seek another physician with better bedside manners. read more

There is a great feeling of gratitude and respect for Doctor Moscow and the physical therapy group that helped so much. Several years ago I had a sever accident on my right wrist. Doctor Moscow was there for me even though it was the Christmas Eve. I remember coming out of the surgery and feeling such gratitude that he was so available. There was a feeling of support all the way thru the immediate recovery. Again I was strongly supported by the physical therapy group. When I called for appointments they where right there to help. The care I received through therapy was so perfessional and compassionate that I actually looked forward to my appointments. Even now when I go back to for a needed visit there is a feeling of friendship. Can't say more for the care and respect I have been given. Sincerely Doris Christie read more

I trusted Dr. Moskow to repair a torn ligament in my wrist and he said I would be good as new after the surgery. There were complications and he did things without my approval and now my right hand is barely useful, I will never be able to golf, bowl, play tennis or any other sport much less work out again. He never came to see me after the surgery and was unavailable when ever I came in for pt or a check up. I had to demand for him to see me and when he did, there was zero eye contact or contrition. My choices are fusion or cortisone shots. When I called for a shot to ease the pain, I find out he doesn't accept my insurance anymore and won't see me??? Not exactly Dr. Death but Dr. Irrevocable Damage for sure! Steer clear of his office!!! read more

15 years ago I went to see Dr. Moskow about nerve damage in my elbows. He came in to see me took a five second look at elbows and said in a deadpan tone "You have CMT, it's not operabel and you'll be in a wheelchair by the time you're 26", then he left the room and I was dismissed shortly after. Cold as ice and never even gave it or me a second thought. Well he completely misdiagnosed me. I had successful surgery on both elbows and felt great afterwards. I have no nerve degenerative condition and I have no wheelchair, nor will I need one anytime soon. Dr. Moskow was advertised as the best but this is a day I've never forgotten. It would have been one thing to say it's inoperable but to leave with telling me I was going to end up in a wheelchair without running a single test or even touching the elbow blows me away. Maybe he's changed, maybe he hasn't. Always seek a second opinion. read more

Very unethical staff that handles the scheduling. I saw the Dr for a cortizone shot and he told me I needed to come back and get surgery. I called the office everyday on my lunch hour for weeks trying to make an appointment. They pretty much leave you on hold for over an hour and hardly ever answer the phone. Meanwhile their recording states "the estimated wait time is 5 minutes". When I finally was able to reach someone, they told me they could not give me an appointment because by then my referral had expired. So I had to wait to see my primary doctor again to request a new referral to see the same Dr for the same issue. When the referral finally came, I went through the long process again, of calling everyday on my lunch hour trying to make an appointment and the careless staff not answering. I eventually just had to miss work to speak with someone, because they leave you on hold your entire lunch hour. Then the girl who I spoke with refused to schedule me with the Dr and said I could only see his assistant. I told her I had no interest in seeing the assistant and that I wanted to see the doctor who I had already seen before since this is for surgery. I even told her I could wait a few months if the doctor was not available right away. She still refused to schedule an appointment with the doctor. So I asked to speak with the clinic manager. She refused. I asked her to have the clinic manager contact me back. She refused. I asked for the clinic manager's contact info. She refused. I offered to drive over and speak with the clinic manager in person and she replied "we wont help you". These are very bad people that work here, that dont care about patients whatsoever. Going back to my primary doctor asap to change my referral to an ethical doctor office where the staff is actually helpful and considerate instead of hostile and rude. Dont waste your time here! read more

For years I have had Dupuytren's Contracture in which a rogue tendon prevents a finger from straightening. Since it typically continues to get worse over time, I felt it was time to treat it. In consultation, Dr. Lonnie Moskow explained the three therapeutic approaches and I opted for fulI surgery, the most comprehensive and permanent solution. I had the surgery a month ago which took place without complications. I am still undergoing physical therapy to regain full mobility but it is clear the problem has been successfully resolved. One more detail: Before surgery I was given a prescription for pain medication but I am happy to report I never needed to take one. I am giving Dr. Moskow a well deserved 5 star review for his excellent work. read more

i has thumb replacement surgery a year ago in December 17 . Horrible results. Pain worse than before. I will have to have metal joint removal and go through the process of major pain and rehabilitation again. read more

I am not sure how I feel about this office. Dr. Moskow performed an in office surgery to remove a cyst from the top knuckle of my finger. He was gentle and quick. Cortisone shots are never fun but his injections were not as terrible as some I have experienced. Unfortunately my finger is still bent and hurts even after several months. I am unable to grip well or make a fist. He didn't seem to have a solution to the problem. He isn't much of a communicator but beside manner isn't as important as knowledge or skill in my book. The billing desk is a nightmare. Payball co-pays by credit card or check. They seem to lose track of cash. I had to make numerous calls and spend hours reconciling my bills because I would pay my co-pay at time of apointment and they would randomly apply it to other visits or services only to send me a bill several weeks later. Still having ongoing trouble so I asked my primary to send me somewhere else. I don't have time to go through another billing fiasco and would really like to regain use of my finger. read more

Dr. Lonnie Moskow, MD has helped me beyond my best hopes to save the functionality of my hands that are suffering from radiating inflammations from my AS Arthritic disease. His staff is also the best, considerate and professional. Wait times are usually very short, under 15 minutes. For the last 5 years I've had numerous issues with tendon related "Trigger Finger" on nearly all my fingers and several nerve related pain at hand joints. Dr. Moskow thoroughly explains the symptoms and causes, explaining both surgical and steroidal injection solutions. At the moment my hands and fingers are pain free; I've played guitar since a kid, so my healthy hands are VERY important to me. I have been going to Dr. Moskow for treatments for about 5 years now. Thank you Dr. Moskow. read more

I had doctor Moskow perform surgery on my left hand for trigger fingers. One finger was great the second developed a staf infection and I had to have an additional surgery which cut my finger wide open. I do feel fortunate I still have my finger and hand. The infection was sent to the lab and when the results came back they never saw that type of infection before. I looked it up on google. PT is a nightmare. Don't expect if you walk in there and receive an appointment card from PT that it really means an appointment. Then I made another PT appointment received a voice mail to confirm took off work early only to be told no your appointment is next week. Don't bother if they give you an extension to call. The extensions don't work on an outside line or even internally. Plan on being patient number 15 or higher when you call. Linda and Lonnie support staff are great. read more

Dr. Moskow did a surgery and my arm to decompress my radial nerve which was causing me excruciating pain. Immediately following surgery and over the past 5 weeks since surgery, my nerve pain is gone. Him and his PA are absolutely wonderful and answered all my questions both. Elite and after surgery. The office staff are also all very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Moskow. read more

Awesome doctor and a great hand specialist. He performed intricate surgery that many doctors won't touch.

Had trigger finger for years. Saw Dr Moskow and after a painless in office procedure, two weeks later, I'm better than new. If you don't see Dr. Lonnie, you'll be sorry!! read more

Avoid this doctor. He doesn't care about his patients whatsoever. I felt like I was in a factory. I got called in to a room before I finished filling out my paperwork. The nurse typed my basic info into a computer without looking at the majority of my chart. He then asked if I would be okay with having an X-ray. I said okay and was sent to another room for an X-ray. Including my X-ray the entire appointment lasted no longer than 25 min. After the X-ray I finally saw the doctor and he said there was nothing he could do to help. This place is a money factory and should be reported read more

I was having numbness and tingling in my fingers. I saw Dr. Moskow and he evaluated my nerve test results. He recommended surgery to correct my carpel tunnel syndrome. I had both wrists operated on one at a time about 18 months between surgeries. Both surgeries went well. There was no pain or problems. Both surgeries healed well and the outcomes were good. I recommend that you consider Dr. Moskow if you need surgery. He is good at what he does. read more

This man is a genius, and really cares about his patients. I've had four trigger fingers done, and carpal tunnel. My crippled hands are perfectly normal again. Yes, the numbing injections hurt, but he uses freezers, goes fast and avoids the nerves to limit the pain a best he can. Injections in the palm of the hand done by anyone are going to hurt, but the way Dr. Moskow does it, its only for about 5 seconds. He's good at what he does! He's taken care of my wife and several of my friends. He is fantastic. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Moskow. He is professional, caring, compassionate, positive and confident. He treated me with the utmost compassion. After most other surgeons refused to treat me he gave me hope and felt he could help me. After two surgeries with Dr. Moskow on my left hand and wrist, I am finally healing and feeling better than ever. Last week, he did my wrist fusion and it's been wonderful. I've had some pain but that's to be expected. I'm recovering wonderfully. He takes care in making beautiful incisions. I couldn't be happier. Everyone in his office is wonderful. The surgery center downstairs is also exceptional. I've been twice for both surgeries and the care shown was remarkable. If you are considering visiting Dr. Moskow don't give it another thought. You will be in amazing hands. My case was rather difficult also. Again, just an awesome person & surgeon. read more

AVOID AT ALL COST! I had a finger injury so I went to see Dr. Moskow at SCOS upon a referral. He performed an x-ray and found the finger was not broken but there appeared to be tendon damage. He suggested I go through physical therapy, and I did, but the therapy did not help. After a few months of therapy with little to no improvement the therapist said there is little she can do to better the situation. I then saw Dr. Moskow again and he said "let's try a cortisone shot". After the shot he suggested I go back to therapy to see if it will improve. After another month of therapy, again with no improvement, I saw Dr. Moskow one final time and his final conclusion was "there is nothing more I can do you may want to get a second opinion". He is supposed to be a specialist in this field and after several months and over $2000 out of pocket, plus a lot more from my insurance company, his final conclusion was, sorry there is nothing I can do to help. This place is a sham and they will try to keep you coming back to get your insurance companies money as well as yours. I highly recommended a different place and avoid Dr. Moskow / SCOC at all cost. On a side note, I drove up to LA to see Dr. Modabber at SMOG after the Dr. Moskow incident and he instantly gave me several options on how to fix my trigger finger. After one surgery & a few post surgery checkups my finger was fixed. In the end the surgery was less expensive, took less time, and actually fixed my trigger finger vs the Dr. Moskow experience that cost more and yielded no results. read more
