Dr Rizvi is an intelligent attentive and caring hand specialist. After a botched treatment course by an incompetent orthopedist, Dr Rizvi's intervention helped to save the integrity of my finger. He's also one hell of a nice guy. Your hands and in good hands with Dr Murtaza Rizvi. read more

(1/5 stars) Extremely Poor Scheduling Practices - Surgery Cancelled 3 Times I am compelled to share my disappointing experience with Dr. Murtaza Rizvi and the Spine and Orthopedics department at Adventist Health Glendale to help other patients make informed decisions. The Issue: I've been receiving treatment for De Quervain's Syndrome under Dr. Rizvi's care. After two unsuccessful cortisone injections, surgery was recommended. What followed was a series of unprofessional scheduling failures that have caused significant stress and disruption. Timeline of Problems: * Surgery originally scheduled for March 24, 2025 * Rescheduled to June 13, 2025 (time changed from 2 PM to 4 PM on same day) * Dr. Rizvi cancelled surgery less than a week before June 13th * Surgery scheduler called June 5th proposing June 9th surgery date - only 1 business day notice Why This Matters: As a working parent, I need reasonable advance notice to arrange time off work and childcare. One business day notice for surgery is completely unacceptable and shows a fundamental lack of respect for patients' lives and responsibilities. Impact: Three surgery cancellations/changes have created unnecessary stress, potential lost wages, and childcare complications. When a doctor cancels surgery with less than a week's notice and then expects patients to accept one business day's notice for rescheduling, it shows a concerning lack of respect for patients' lives and professional obligations. My Recommendation: While I cannot speak to Dr. Rizvi's medical skills, the administrative and scheduling practices in this department are severely lacking. Patients deserve better coordination and respect for their time. I would recommend asking detailed questions about their scheduling reliability before committing to treatment. Update: I have filed a formal complaint with hospital administration and am seeking care elsewhere. read more

I love Dr Rizvi he's really gotten me together I've done 2 breast augs and a bbl! I'm loving my results.

Dr Rizvi does many things but I went to him for BA (breast augmentation). Just as you should do before any big surgery, I researched my surgeon and I shopped around. This was my first time having BA so I was an indecisive little pendeja. I had a billion questions and Dr. Rizvi smiled while he guided me through the process. Dr. Rizvi's staff are super helpful and very friendly. They're are well informed on the process and timing of everything. The Dr's dope energy gave me confidence which made me feel calm and more comfortable with the procedure. Okay okay I know you want to know how I liked them. Well I didn't like them. I LOVE THEM!! I'm so happy with the outcome! I've already talked to the Dr about other procedures. He's rad. read more

I had broken my thumb and all doctors were recommending I need surgery. Dr. Rizvi was the only person that aligned my bone without surgery. I am more than happy and grateful to have come across this doctor. read more

So, I have been working with Dr. Rizvi for the last 18 months. In that time, he has preformed three surgeries on me. 1. Body Contouring 2. FFS phase one 3. FFS phase two Let me begin by saying how blessed I am to have him as my surgeon. Dr. Rizvi is a genuine and caring doctor who humbles himself in his work. He has changed my life and I can honestly never have the words to describe how I feel. For the first time in my life, I am truly grateful for what I see when looking in the mirror and I owe so much to him. This man cares about you and is truly passionate about his work. I have one more surgery with this doctor but I can honestly say, after I am done with everything, I will never forget about Dr. Rizvi and how he has changed my life. If you are looking for a surgeon who truly cares and is an artist at what he does, look no further. Because if you are already here looking for information about him, you have already found him. And Dr., if you are reading this, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. read more

Murtaza Rizvi, MD - A scar to remember dr.rizvi incompetence - Orthopedists Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

His assistant Osvaldo is the rudest 'nurse's Assistant I've ever seen. He acts as if he's too good to even be bothered. He is very nasty and very impatient. I call in regards to my pain management and he hung up the phone in my face. I thought his nurse Rocio was rude, but Osvaldo makes Rocio looks like a saint! I like Dr Rizvi, but dealing with his horrible assistants is tough. They are all incompetent and they lack empathy. They all try to Gaslight you. read more

If I can give negative zero stars I would. Dr. Rizvi is a nice person. But his team sucks. I went to see him since October 2022 with pain in my wrist. His surgery scheduler is so so bad that I kept on calling and calling, she never call back.i email her and since October till now all I get back is "be patient." How much more patient do I need to be since October till now going on middle of February? And the last time I emailed last month, NOTHING BACK! NO REPLY!! I would not recommend this place at all. I was with Dr. Burnham before I saw Dr. Rizvi and I got schedule surgery in 2 days. This is so ridiculous, never been with any doctor that schedule ONE surgery would take this long and still haven't got a response. I'm switching doctor. read more

I'm very disappointed with the management of appointments with this doctor. I got a referral for a consultation approved in May, I made an appointment on June (the soonest), I got canceled the same day hours before, then I got another appointment a month after ( again the soonest one) and I got canceled again 3 hours before the appointment. The next available appointment in a month and a half. Is rude to be canceled hours before the appointment and then been punished by waiting months to try to be seen again. What a joke this is. I spoke with his administrative assistant and floor manager and they told me there's nothing to do in order to be seen sooner than 2 months as well as no guarantees that he will not canceled again. read more

Two stars are for the mask being completely down when he came into the room. And for the chewing of bubble gum while speaking to me: that's so rude and unprofessional. Very strange person and weird energy. Good thing is he took me seriously. And he sent me to pt. Otherwise he has really creepy vibes, I would feel uncomfortable being around him if he was just a random stranger on the street. Kind of sleazy vibe to him. read more

This wonderful man saved my life. Literally. This amazing Doctor is kind, knowledgeable, and really cares aboit his patients best interest. I am overjoyed that he was assigned to me because I was blessed with saving my hand and life by his quick thinking and professionalism. read more

Best. Doctor. EVERRR! I have been going to Dr. Rizvi for years now (this review is well overdue)! I was getting my botox shots and fillers from him for the past few years. He is the only one who injects the right amount so I do not look overdone. Did a breast aug and rhinoplasty with him a year and a half ago, which looks amazing. I could not be happier. Just last month I did the "vampire face lift" (AKA PRP) with him. I am literally glowing! He is the only doctor I trust going to. I heard he is also opening a Brentwood location, which I am super excited about. read more

I came to Dr Rizvi for masseter botox because of my excruciating TMJ :( Dr Rizvi is sincerely one of the very best surgeons I've EVER gone to!! Besides the fact that he is VERY attentive to detail (he is obviously very skilled in that respect- he took a lot of time to mark up injection sites and make me feel comfortable), he is SO KIND. He texted me to check on me every-single-day after the procedure until I assured him any bruising subsided. I can't say enough good about him. I'm in BH, so it's pretty difficult/nearly impossible to find a plastic surgeon that genuinely cares about his patients as individuals- and especially for such a small, minor procedure like mine. He does though! Soooo caring and kind. Truly a great doctor. If you are curious about more procedural details or if you want the juicy stuff like to see photos, feel free to message me :) read more

Being a trans woman I must say that surgery is an exciting yet nerve-racking experience as there are hopes, fears, and yearning for a life that is no longer tainted with dysphoria (and all of the social anxiety that it brings) so choosing a surgeon who not only empathizes with your experience but also understands the dimensions of your body is extremely important, and dr. Rizvi does just that. I was very concerned with the way my breasts would fall as I did not want them to appear unnatural, and he used an implant that was large enough to fit my frame properly but also placed them proportionately to my chest, which was my main concern. Being that I loved my results so much I went back for body feminization recently and I am so incredibly happy with my results as my body appears to be undeniably feminine to me personally, which I had the most anxiety about going into the process of surgically enhancing my frame, which has done wonders for my mental well being. Rocio, his assistant has been swift in responding to my post operative concerns as well as aiding in reducing anxiety throughout the healing process. I am so pleased with how this emotional journey to self actualisation is turning out with the help of this doctor, and feel comforted knowing he and his staff are there to aid me for the rest of my surgical transition. I am glad I can actually be mentally present for the rest of my youth and that gift is one I am extremely grateful for. read more

The Doctor is very talented and empathic.Best Doctor you can wish for.Feels like he is blessed by his true vocation

I recently broke my wrist. I can't praise Dr. Rizvi and his staff enough. He is quick to diagnose. In my case, no surgery was required, just a splint and took time to explain and answer any questions I had regarding the injury. One month later I can resume normal activities. However, "no handstands" was his instruction. He has a sense of humor too. In an extremely busy office, his assistant. Rocio B., is able to process Dr. Rizvi's patients with kindness and efficiency. Also, last, but not least, a shout out to lone X-Ray technician, Ron. With so many patients waiting, he is calm, friendly and unbelievably quick at getting patients in and out of his facility in no time. The entire office staff is cordial and well organized. Thanks! read more

I recently fell and lacerated my chin which was very upsetting to me as it was a facial wound. I had concerns about future scarring and wanted to see a plastic/craniofacial specialist for sutures. I was so grateful that Dr. Rizvi scheduled me even though he had a full day of patients. He was very gentle and took great care of me, reassuring that I had no mandibular fractures and that my laceration would heal with no visible damage. His bedside manner was calm and compassionate and he was very thorough and knowledgable. I grew up in a family of medical professionals and am really particular about providers so I would recommend Dr. Rizvi to anyone as he is a wonderful physician with accommodating and professional office staff. read more

I recently found out I have severe nerve damage in both my wrists. I needed a great Orthopedic surgeon who could fix me and put the pieces of me back together again and I have found this in Dr. Murtaza Rizvi!! He is the best ortho surgeon! He just performed my carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand with ease and comfort. He did the right hand about 6 months ago and it has healed very well! I highly recommend Dr. Rizvi of Huntington Orthopedics if you need a great surgeon! His medical assistant, Char, is off the chain too! Great job Dr. Rizvi!!! read more

It is rare if not ever that I write reviews, but I am compelled to write when someone has helped restore my life after suffering a traumatic injury. That person is Dr. Rizvi. I suffered a crush injury this summer to my left hand between a vehicle and a building. Resigned to the fact that I may have lost a finger or two, the Dr. at my local ER who stabilized me advised to hold out to specifically see Dr. Rizvi. This was a very BAD injury and will leave the graphic details out. I was transferred by ambulance 50mi away to Glendale Adventist and sent into surgery. Dr. Rizvi for 3hrs under a microscope reconstructed my broken fingers and repaired a crushed artery which is an extremely difficult and delicate procedure. Upon my follow up appointment I was overjoyed to the point of tears that my fingers were still there and I still had the possibility of returning to the many outdoor activities that I love and center my life around. Dr. Rizvi's talent, expertise, and love for his profession is evident in his work. His educational merits are also outstanding and needed mentioning. I was told by the staff that I would be taken care of like family, and they have. I still have a long road to recovery, but am confident with Dr. Rizvi and his team that I will someday return to the local golf course and put down a beautiful drive courtesy of - Dr. Rizvi. I cannot thank him enough. read more

did my surgery on my right wrist did a awsom job, was very happy with overall very cool doc.

I almost lost my hand when our Pitbull mix attacked me while touching the mail. Thank goodness the paramedics took me to Glendale Adventist because Dr. Rizvi put my hand and arm back together. I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He is so good at reconstructive surgery. I am one lucky lady to have had him help me. read more

I saw Rizvi at Glendale Adventist. Great staff, great doctor. Quick yet thorough, he won't waste your time and didn't push surgery at all. Very happy with my visit. A+ read more

We found Dr. Rizvi when my son was rushed to Glendale Advent Hospital after being attacked by a pit bull. His face was just shredded and mutilated. His lip was completely severed. We were so fortunate that Glendale Adventist called Dr. Rizvi on my son's case. He did a better job fixing the damage than we ever would've expected when we first saw the damage that had been done. It is my understanding that the lip/mouth is much more complex than just your normal stitching someone up. There are different tissues and concerns. He did an amazing job. What another person posted about his demeanor and the fact he takes his time but doesn't waste yours is dead on as well. I've never waited more than 20 minutes if even that in the office and the all of the staff is friendly and helpful. He has always taken his time and answered any questions we had in as much detail as we needed. What happened to my son was horrible and traumatic but finding Dr. Rizvi was a blessing. read more
