I honestly don't understand all the bad reviews about Golden State orthopedics…read more I came in today for the first time. I had an appointment to see Dr. Nathaniel Cohen at 1:45 pm. I showed up 1/2 hour early to fill out the paperwork and was greeted right away by one of the 3 receptionist. The receptionist also helped helped me fill out the paperwork as I had some questions. WHAT WAS GREAT ABOUT THE VISIT #1. My appointment was for 1:45 and they called me in to see the doctor right at 1:45 "no wait. "And there was like 20 people in the waiting room" #2. The doctors assistant asked me why I was there and took notes while listening intently. #3. About 15 minutes later Doctor Cohan came in after reviewing my MRI cd, the 4 page MRI write up and looking up information about my case in doctors journals as it is unusual. He then asked me to describe my pain level, what happened, what I was feeling etc,etc. He asked me questions like who is the surgeon who made the recommendation for surgery and was perplexed by what I told him because for the most part surgery is not possible. When I told him the surgeons name who made the recommendations Dr. Cohan became even more perplexed as the surgeon is a very well known and knowledgeable surgeon in the medical community. So he asked me more questions and even called the surgeon to speak with him and "unfortunately the surgeon was out of the office" try to get to the bottom of the confusion. After Dr. Cohan examined me and we spoke more, he was able to ascertain why he believed that the surgeon was recommending surgery for me and believed that if he is correct then he would also recommend getting the surgery. What struck me about Dr. Cohan was that after he had looked at the results of the MRI's and talking with me; he was not sure of a proper course of action and that he told me that he did not know everything. "Now to me this is a sign of a great doctor who is also humble" (instead of coming to a conclusion and possibly giving me misinformation, (like my GP) he chose to say I don't know!, now that's a good doctor!!!) He told me to make another appointment with the surgeon and wrote down for me what to ask him specifically. He then said that if the surgeon confirmed what Dr. Cohan told me to ask him, that I should have the surgery performed. (Here is an Orthopedic surgeon telling me that the other surgeon is more capable to perform this specific surgery... I mean wow!) All I got to say is Dr. Cohan obviously cares about his patients!!! Dr. Cohan, you are the best!! Thank you for your kindness, bedside manner, honesty, compassion and concern for your patients. #4. He even gave me a referral to another GP!! And told me to call him if I had other questions about anything. 5 stars is an understatement! Everything about this office is 5 stars including the receptionist. Again I really don't understand the bad reviews.

This practice has gone downhill. Dr. Cohen & Dr. King are amazing but their staff is problematic…read more However, Dr. Kim is one of the worst physicians that I've ever encountered I've utilized Golden State Ortho when they were Ortho Norcal & Dr. Cohen handled my ACL and several knee surgeries perfectly. Cohen has great bedside manner & it's just an overall nice person as is Dr. King. The office even has x-ray and MRI on site which is helpful. However, after a recent injury, I was referred to Dr. Kim. I don't know if this guy was having a bad day but he was rude, non responsive & left in the middle of my appointment, even though he was an hour late. He was so condescending during the appointment & off putting that his nurse had to apologize on his behalf. He just walked out of the room, as I was asking questions about the injury and never reappeared. My fiancé who attended even said there's no way that guy is operating you, if that's how he acts during an appointment. The challenge with the office staff is getting a response. There are a number of other reviews for the same location and majority are around gaps in response or complete lack of response. I ignored those comments and went back to what I trusted and now know they were justified. I don't know what happened to this practice, but do not go. There are other orthopedic surgeons in the Bay Area, who are great, care about follow up and the overall outcome for their patients. I wish Dr. Cohen and Dr. King would leave this office because there's no way it's getting any more of my business. Now, in the middle of an injury where I was getting treatment from this facility, I'm now having to go to a different orthopedic surgeon.

Second, and the reason I'm writing this years later: at one visit he walked in and, completely out of nowhere, asked me if I'd heard the news about Huawei, and he asked me "You don't work for them right?" as a joke. I was there for a broken arm. I'm Chinese. That was, as far as I can tell, the entire basis for the question.

I underwent a Mako robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery with Dr. Terence Delaney at Good…read moreSamaritan hospital. Prior to surgery, my pre-operative records--including a medication list reviewed and signed on the day of surgery--documented that I had recently taken daily doses of vitamin and herbal substances that are associated with increased bleeding risk; and hospital pre-operative materials and Dr. Delaney's website recommend discontinuing them before surgery. Despite this, I did not receive any documented instructions to discontinue these substances before surgery, and I was not advised of any increased bleeding risk related to them. Nor is there any documentation showing this information was evaluated for safety considerations prior to proceeding with my elective surgery, even though these records were included in my pre-operative chart and the Pre-op/Anesthesia Home Medication List was signed before my surgery. I was also not informed of the potential risks in variation of implant positioning with Mako robotic-assisted surgery, or other procedure-related risks associated with robotic-assisted surgery.. During my procedure, my blood pressure dropped to hypotensive levels for a prolonged period of time, which can be associated with ischemic events affecting vital organs, including eyes and inner ear. Following the procedure, I also experienced significant bleeding and developed a post-operative hematoma, which required a second surgery to resolve. A few days after my procedure, I experienced partial hearing loss (later diagnosed as SSHL) and partial vision loss (later diagnosed as NAION). These conditions are associated in medical literature with ischemic events, including those related to intraoperative hypotension. Based on my medical records, this sequence raised concerns about whether my documented medication use had been fully considered before surgery or whether it may have contributed to the resulting conditions. The procedure was also performed using a Mako robotic-assisted system with a pre-planned acetabular cup component implant position. The final operative report describes a final component placement of 40°. However, post-operative imaging shows a significantly lower angle along with measurable anterior-lateral overhang. I was not informed of this difference, provided with an explanation of its potential significance, or told why there was a discrepancy between the operative report and imaging findings. Medical literature indicates that precise component positioning is essential to reduce the risk of issues such as increased component wear, edge loading, unbalanced load distribution, instability, reduced range of motion, and iliopsoas impingement. Also, key surgical documentation--such as Mako robotic system planning and verification reports--has not been provided to me after repeated requests, leaving unanswered questions about how the final implant position was determined and why Dr. Delaney did not retain these records. A review of related medical records and correspondence also shows inconsistencies, which raised additional concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the medical documentation. Additional post-operative records do not show I was informed of any unplanned interoperative events, including drops in blood pressure, possible nerve or muscle-related complications, implant position differences, how these events may have been managed, or their possible future effects. In the months following my surgery, I received treatment from numerous other physicians regarding my condition and also corresponded with Dr. Delaney regarding the surgical process and results. However, my latest email to him was unanswered, and additional efforts to obtain medical records have required formal requests through legal channels in the court system. Since the surgery, I have experienced ongoing pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, instability, and loss of range of motion, and symptoms consistent with iliopsoas impingement in my left hip. An independent orthopedic doctor confirmed the position of the acetabular cup is causing the iliopsoas impingement, which can only be resolved through a muscle release or revision procedure. I also suffer from partial hip flexor nerve/muscle issues, and vision/hearing loss, which I have been informed by medical professionals will be permanent. These issues have had a significant impact on my daily life.

On July 18, 2026, my mother had a hip pinning surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital . Looking at the…read moreX-ray taken after the surgery by Dr. Peter Kim indicated that the surgery was performed successfully, with care and precision. However, ultimately, the post-operative care of Dr. Kim has caused far more harm than good in my mother's recovery process. After her transfer to a rehabilitation hospital, we learned that the post-operative order left by our surgeon were confusing and even contradictory, stating that she should be doing both "50/50" and "toe touch." Since the physical therapist was confused by his instructions, they attempted to contact the surgeon to gain further clarification. The physical therapist also asked me to also follow up with the surgeon, noting that at times they can be more responsive to the patient's concerns. I called the surgeon's office three times and, after four days of waiting, finally received a phone call from an office assistant. She said that the order was for 50/50 and the toe touch was wrong. I asked her to call the rehabilitation hospital to communicate these instructions to our physical therapist. The assistant replied that the rehabilitation hospital might not answer as it was 5 pm but I asked her to please leave a message and I gave her our physical therapist's name. To this day, I do not know whether a phone call was made or not. I tried to relay the information myself in an email to the rehab hospital. As the result of this information, my mother's therapy changed to walking rehab while experiencing excruciating pain. She had been experiencing great pain even while seated on the wheelchair for any period of time. On the morning of Thursday July 30th, we were informed that she had an appointment at 11:15 with the surgeon. She was to be taken to the surgeon's office with a wheelchair transport. I had never heard that a patient after surgery must be taken to the surgeon's office. I assumed that the surgeon would come to the patient. The ride -- though secure -- was difficult and painful for her. When we arrived at the surgeon's office, our appointment was 15 minutes late. Finally, once the appointment began, I handed the comprehensive report on my mother's surgery and rehabilitation (sent with us from the rehab hospital) but the assistant did not even look at the document. He then proceeded to ask us very basic questions making it evident that he did not know that there was any surgery performed, what type of surgery. In an off-handed way, he asked whether my mother was experiencing pain and when she answered that she had been and continues to be in extreme pain, he was surprised. His surprise was shocking to us given that she had been sitting in the wheelchair for almost an hour at this point and was not at a place in her recovery to sit comfortably for extended periods of time. He then said that he needed to remove the sutures from her leg. Astonished, I looked at the wooden, fixed-position examination bed situated in the room. The bed was 36 inches high with a small footstool next to it to allow the patient to climb atop it. I told him that my mother could not stand and climb atop that bed in her current condition. He said he would remove the stitches while she was seated on the wheelchair. I explained that she needed assistance to stand up to take off the pants in order to sit back down on the wheelchair for the suture removal. I also stated that her adult diaper needed to be opened to reach the sutures. The assistant looked shocked. He did not help to get her up and watched as my mother and I struggled to get her standing to pull down the pants. After checking the sutures, he left the room and came back with the surgeon. The surgeon arrived and looking at the sutures said to us, "you didn't need to come in for this, the nurses at the rehabilitation hospital could have removed them. They can stay in for another two weeks." I asked him if he had visited my mother since the surgery and he said no. So, it had been 13 days since her surgery and he had not ever visited with the patient. This means that the surgery rounds at the hospital were never made. I asked him about the about the accommodations offered for patients and he said if you wanted her to be laying down then you should have arrived on a gurney. I replied that I was not aware that a surgeon's office would not have accommodations available for patients. Overall, I'm writing this to inform others about the mistreatment that my mother received at Golden State Orthopedics and Spine by Dr. Paul Kim. Unfortunately, as a result of Dr. Kim's and his assistant's negligence in conveying incorrect information, my mother's recovery and rehabilitation has been set back quite a bit, causing her excess and unnecessary pain. I hope that by sharing our story, we can advocate for better treatment of my mother and other patients like her.
