I used to consider Dr. Jane one of the most wonderful people I ever met, someone I considered a…read morefriend as well as a good dr. Then we had a falling-out that's never been patched up. This review is about that falling-out. She changed to a new location in an unfamiliar area, and I made an appt. Except on my way to the appt. I made a side trip that took longer than expected, so by the time I got to the intersection nearest the new location, I was five min. late. Alright, five min. is no big deal, right? Except I missed the turn into the new bldg. Nothing to do but go down to the end of a very long block and sit through a very long light. Ten min. late. Make a u-turn but overshoot the correct driveway AGAIN. Down to the other end of a very long block, wait through another very long light, 15 min. late! U-turn again, finally make the correct turn into the correct driveway, find a parking space, find the new office--20 min. late! I burst through the door, ready with all kinds of apologies and prepared to beg forgiveness. She was standing in the reception area. Before I could open my mouth, she said, "There isn't time to give you a treatment. Maybe we could just talk." I didn't go to the effort to keep a med. appt. and go through 20 min. of bad luck to, "Just talk!" All I could say, without saying something I'd regret, was, "I came for a TREATMENT, Dr.!" and out the door I went. I don't know why she couldn't just go ahead with some kind of brief treatment or exam. Yeah, I threw her schedule off, but surely she'd handled such situations before. She just didn't want to accomodate me, for whatever reason. I never did get to tell my side, so I'm telling it here. Maybe I can go back--FOR A TREATMENT--someday, and patch things up.

I am compelled to write this review - not just because of the exceptional care I received from Dr…read more Patel and his team but to help inform people of the tremendous benefit of regeneration therapeutics. I suffered an injury over Christmas that left me unable to walk, excruciating pain just to stand. I took 3,000 mg Tylenol, and 400 mg Celebrex without relief. I had to fly home early from my daughter's in MO, in a wheelchair. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon who was not helpful but did prescribe PT. I went to PT for months and in March was still in bad pain with most usual activities. I was living a very restricted life. I researched functional orthopedic care and I am so grateful I found Dr. Patel. After reading reviews I made an appointment but was still unsure if I could get results like those I read about. He spent 90 minutes with me (never has any physician spent 90 minutes with me) - watched me walk, examined my spine and muscle strength, asked me lots of questions, and answered all of mine. He reviewed the 2 sets of X-rays that had been taken previously, gave me his working diagnosis, and ordered an MRI. The MRI showed a strangulated nerve root at L5 in addition to several other findings including severe facet arthropathy. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapeutics are still not covered by insurance (despite being found beneficial for well over a decade), and the cost was higher than I had anticipated. He explained my options - taking the insurance-covered route or taking his route (recommending both procedures for my complex case) but with the possibility of full mobility. I scheduled my procedure and the day before I would have fell in the parking lot after having lunch with a friend if she had not been with me, due to the severe claudication in my left leg. His patient advocate made sure I had everything prepared before my procedure. His team was extraordinary - calling the night before with reminders about medications to take before coming, medications to bring, etc. My procedure was much more complex than usual but everything went great! The care I received during the procedure was exceptional and prior preparation made the transition home easy. For the first 3 days, I was in a lot of pain and grateful to have purchased the walker as they suggested. The walker and the back brace helped to mitigate some of the pain when I needed to get up and move around my house. As I live alone, I was grateful to have my sister come and stay with me for 3 days. After about a week, the only pain I felt was in the back of my pelvis at the two puncture sites for the bone marrow aspiration. I have taken no pain medication not even Tylenol, after the first 5 days. It has been about 5 weeks now since the procedure and I am pain-free at rest and continuing to push my body with PT twice a week. I have full flexibility without pain. I can lift 15 pounds without pain and am walking 2 to 3 miles a day without pain. I am confident in another month or two I will be back to full physical activities. These procedures administered by an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable physician can regenerate the lower back - ligaments, muscles, and facets, and stabilize the lower back. I highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone suffering back pain, who believes they must live a life of limited activity, muscle relaxants, and pain medication, or face back surgery that could leave you worse off. Please make an appointment and learn more about this treatment given your situation. The consultation examination will be the best physical exam you have ever had and worth every cent!

Doctor was pleasant and informed me that medical assistant would assist me. I have seen many doctors and assistants before and never had experience this. The MA asked the same question over 5xs and was alarming since I wrote down everything on paper of the issue. She had me lay down and started bending, twisting, adding pressure with both hands on my legs to extend that I kept insisting that it was painful and still continued. She even stood on top of the stool to put pressure on my bad ankle and her body was over me. I got up quickly and notified her what she was doing was painful and hurting me. Not once have I've been to a doctor's office and they continue to work on body part that's causing problems. This was shocking and there's no way I would be able to tolerate more pain. I jumped out of the table in shock of the pain I was in and walked out. I left called my fiancee crying on the magnitude of pain that was inflicted on me. I let her know it's wrong to continue with the movements she was doing. Her response was that she had to do her job. If this was a license professional, they would know how to work around injured area. Now my ankle is swollen and is upsetting that I payed $250 to get hurt. I don't recommend this place. Even if you're desperate learn from my mistake. At times you're better off seeing doctors that are covered by insurance. I came out of desperation and regret it. Please do your research and go through your insurance. Don't do the same mistake ai did.

From the moment I stepped foot in the office I felt very welcome, and each interaction with Dr. Z and the staff was great. The office itself is very nice, clean, with state of the art equipment. Wifi also worked great. I was impressed. The interaction with Dr. Zaffarkhan was great, he was very patient, he reviewed my MRIs, explained everything so well. He dummied it down for me so I can understand and much better than any other prior doctors. After that, we went into the operating room for the shot. I've had the shot done before, and Dr. Z was very diligent, and wanted to make sure that he hits the right area. Because he was so diligent to review it all before hand, and took his time, I believe he was able to give me the most relief. I am very impressed with the whole operation, and will definitely come back again if I am in need (hopefully not too soon) I highly recommend this office, and appreciate everyone there. Thank you Dr. Z and the staff!

When I've come with concerns and symptoms they get dismissed and that I need to drink more water and don't forget to eat. When I'd state I was constantly drinking water and eating to help with symptoms I was feeling. I felt dismissed and honestly made me feel crazy. Similar situations have happened over the years of me going to her and I've decided it's better to find a doctor that will genuinely listen to my concerns and try to figure it out. I will confirm with another doctor but I believe I have migraines now or something similar but Taglieri diagnosed me with needing to drink and eat more and I probably just forget to eat. After telling her I was getting extreme light sensitivity and nausea and gaining weight from all the food/water I'm eating to help the symptoms... Went to her about a growth and she said it was harmless skin growth. Finally saw a dermatologist recently and they explicitly told me Taglieri was wrong about the growth. Still harmless but she diagnosed it wrong. But overall, I just felt like I wasn't properly being heard. I didn't feel like many questions or specific questions were asked to get to the root problems to any issues. Every time I left feeling like it was a waste of money and time. I tried to be patient and I continued seeing her for a few years (maybe 4-5 years?) However, I will say the office is clean and upkept. The processes of getting blood withdrawals and any additional tests is very easy and convenient. Booking an appointment is easy and fairly quick to get in. Receptionists are always communicative.

After at least two years of chronic back pain and seen at least couple of orthopedic doctors…read more(pretty well known) I went to doctor Rutledge. He had me walk few steps back and forth and said that he thought my right leg is a bit shorter. I went and got an X-ray done where they measure your legs and he was right my leg was shorter. For that I had to buy some inserts for my shoe and felt much more balanced. I had an ankle surgery due to three broken bones 15 years earlier where they planted two plates and at least 10 screws I was told and that caused my leg to be shorter. Ultimately it caused my spine to develop a slight scoliosis which effected my vertebrae to be misaligned and cause pain. I'm currently on prolotherapy and Osteopathic manipulative treatment, also doing some exercise at home and no longer taking pain killers. Dr Rutledge has made my life so much better. He is a very talented doctor and a great human being. Always kind and very reasonable. I highly recommend him.

From the moment he looked at her rashes, he seemed to know exactly what was going on. He diagnosed her quickly and confidently, and the treatment he prescribed worked almost immediately. The rashes improved significantly after the first night. My mom finally experienced relief after weeks of discomfort and frustration. Dr. Young's expertise, attentiveness, and quick action made a world of difference.
