I just returned from my orthopedic appointment, and I had a wonderful experience. Firstly, I was greeted by Joanna, who did my intake paperwork. I was on crutches, so she brought everything over to me, and she asked me to flag her down to pick everything up so I didn't have to struggle with my crutches. I have many medical appointments this last month, and she was the first one who made this very considerate and thoughtful offer. Abram and Alexis helped me with my X-rays. They were both very patient and kind. They made sure to help and support me. They were friendly throughout the process even when I stepped on a button that accidentally moved the bed. They were both very kind. Abigail checked me out. She was very patient in finding appointments that would work for me both as a follow up with Dr. Gipsman and for a first appointment for a second specialist in their office. She was smiling, friendly, professional, and kind. I met with Dr. Aaron M Gipsman to go over the results of the tests for my knee. He had excellent bedside manner. He answered all of mine and my husband's questions. He explained everything to our understanding and satisfaction. He explained everything he was doing during the exam and explained any findings afterward while consistently checking in with me to make sure I was fine. I was so pleased with this visit and team, that I came straight home to write this review. If you need an orthopedic surgeon for your knee, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gipsman and his team. read more

A great experience with this practice. Dr. Klenck is an outstanding surgeon with many years in the field. I recently had a full knee replacement with Dr. Klenck and he made sure that all precautions were taken to ensure a successful experience. He really cares about his patients. The Surgery Scheduler, Jennifer, also does an outstanding job of scheduling procedures and making sure that all of the necessary pre op referrals are completed in a timely manner. Highly recommended! read more

Pasadena Orthopedics 959 East Walnut Street Suite #150 is a premiere Orthopedics clinic. The doctors here have reputations for excellence. After finding a parking space in the large parking lot in front of the building, I entered Suite #150. There is a large lobby with a long counter with staff members taking care of business. We were greeted by a friendly staff member who handed us the expected paperwork. Counters available to fill out the paperwork. We returned the filled out forms to the staff member. We sat down in the lobby. The lobby had a large number of comfortable places to sit. After a short wait, we were called by a staff member, and led to the examination room. There is a large staff and all were friendly, helpful and attentive. Questions we had were all answered. The appointment with Dr Billings was very successful. I have no qualms about returning to this doctor and/or group. The parking area is monitored by a parking attendant, there is a fee for parking. Depending upon the time of day this lot can become very busy. This area is conveniently located a block off of Lake Avenue and a couple blocks north of Colorado Boulevard. read more

They are fantastic! Dr. Billings is wonderful and always takes care of me. My hand was bit useable and she got it working again. Truly miraculous. My doctor for life. read more

Came here to see Dr. Gipsman for pain in my hip after giving birth. I got there right at 7 am which is when my appointment was for. I saw the Dr. at 7:40 AM after paperwork and waiting. He was very friendly and explained the four things wrong with my hip and suggested a PT place which accepts my insurance. I just wish that an appointment time was when you see the doc. read more

Summer 2025 Another reviewer said, "Dr Billings is vicious, uncaring, and really rough." I'm repeating her words because I can't express my experience any better. Every negative review of this practice was accurate for me: *30+ min wait, 5 min exam/visit *rough handling of my injury *quick diagnosis, with absolutely no explanation, prognosis, or imaging *quick referral to physical therapy (I wouldn't trust this "doctor's" diagnosis or referral) *exceedingly foolish office staff Read the reviews carefully - this doctor/office only gets very high or very low ratings. So if it goes well, you're lucky. But every negative review is consistent, with the same concerns - do you want to risk your health on luck? Find a better practice. read more

Highly recommend! The staff are very nice and helpful. Dr Billings is awesome. She truly listens to you.

Well, or wellness...how can I start to praise these group of doctors. As I pace my steps using my very functional knee, looking for the right words to type using my very fictional hand. I can't thank enough Dr. Billings and Dr. Movasaghi as well as their entire staff (specially Jennifer from PreOp) in helping my surgeries become the success they are and becoming! On late August I had the need to have trigger finger release surgery with Dr. Billings and on December 2nd I had total knee replacement surgery with Dr Movassaghi. And as I recover I would say that my surgeries were a success and becoming a success, all thanks to The attention at the Clinic, and the hospital, the time they took to answer my questions and to make sure that I understood everything that was being said and proposed, and their great efforts and professionalism. I really walked away satisfied and confident That I was in good hands. And I was, now that I can look forward to a full recovery on my knee replacement I like to think that I am in in good hands and I would 100% recommend this team to anyone in need for quality medical assistance. Thank you Team, Thank you Dr. Billings and Thank you Dr. Movassaghi A. Castro 12/2025. read more

Let me preface by saying Dr. Amari was great...however, the reception staff is lacking. They are unfriendly and fairly incompetent in my experience. They act like you being there is an inconvenience to them. No hello when you sign in. They don't even look up. After my appt I had to call FOUR times to try to get my prescription moved to a new pharmacy, and guess what...never happened. Will not return here. read more

I will never go back to this practice. I went for a second opinion after I fell and injured my wrist. MRI showed two small fractures. My first visit with Dr. Billings was actually good; she seemed compassionate and listened to me. But when I went back for my follow up, it was like she was a completely different person. No physical exam, she just asked how I was and when I told her it still hurt to put weight on my wrist, she told me that might be as good as it gets. Didn't bother to check range of motion or evaluate my pain in any way. She was in & out in less than 5 minutes. No recommendations, no follow up, nothing. I was stunned and confused. I emailed follow up questions to her, as instructed by front desk staff via phone call & got no response. I called 2 weeks later to follow up on my email & was told she would need to see me so I took time off work & went back. Again, no physical exam & no real answers. Dr. Billings was condescending and dismissive. She called me sweetie several times (I'm almost 50 for chrissakes) & told me to move on. I was in tears. She seemed annoyed when I asked about physical therapy & practically ran out of the room after begrudgingly agreeing to give me a PT referral. (I've since seen the PT who assured me that this was not something I should just "get over" and that there were, in fact, things I could do to improve my outcome. I now have full range of motion back and am 100% weight bearing again thanks to PT.) What's worse is that this office is now trying to charge me a $75 co-pay for the third office visit that I was forced to schedule because Dr. Billings refused to answer questions via phone or email. (She finally responded to my email days after I saw with seemingly no memory of the visit.) I called my insurance company and they agreed that the visit had been coded wrong but Pasadena Orthopedics refuses to correct it and also never called me back when I called to address the issue with their billing department. The office is a disorganized mess and I received no compassion or care from anyone in it. read more

Update: Surgery went well. I am recovering. Dr. Shirazi did an amazing job!! The incision is a clean cut. I am very happy with the outcome. Can't wait to start walking again! read more

Dr. Billings is a straight forward honest doctor and I really appreciate her so much. I figured I should share my experience with her to hopefully save someone else from getting a surgery they potentially don't need and give insight on what you can expect with PRP. I came here out of a need for a second opinion after a few years of a problem getting worse with a thumb joint. (My hands are my source of income and joy) I had previously seen a top hand specialist at Cedars in mid city for an issue with a damaged joint that developed a big calcified lump on it and he had said surgery was the only way to fix it and it would potentially cause issues with the nerve if I get the surgery... which sounded ridiculous and not like a solution at all. Dr. Billings looked at the imaging, went over all my options and offered to try a steroid injection of sorts first and if it didn't help tone down the pain, she shared other options. I inquired about prp, she had said it's not usually recommended because the result always vary and insurance doesn't cover it but it would be worth trying in my circumstance and my age gave me a better chance of it providing some degree of relief. I ended up getting PRP in that joint. The procedure itself was extremely uncomfortable, she loaded my thumb joint with multiple jabs at different angles with a big vial or PRP and it left me uncomfortable and swollen for a couple days but it TOTALLY CLEARED MY PROBLEM. Like nothing was ever wrong with it in the first place! It took a couple or a few months but the lump slowly dissolved and the joint rebuilt and stabilized itself. Eventually I stopped paying attention and just realized one day that the huge bump was completely gone and that it hadn't hurt in forever. And this was over 3 or 4 years ago or more ... It was somewhere around $700 for the procedure out of pocket then it may have gone up since then. And that was 1 session. For older folks it may take a few and may not sort it completely but I will tell you if you're relatively young it is absolutely worth it. Just note you cannot take anti inflammatories for at least a month or 2 after so plan accordingly. And insurance will not cover prp. Also don't trust your insurance to have correct info on their website on whether or not she's in net and call to make sure before scheduling. Mine has incorrectly stated she's in net for 2 yrs now since she stopped excepting my plan. She's a really good doctor and if you can afford to pay out of pocket do it. The cost of time off from surgery and recovery would've surpassed the cost of what the procedure was and it is so hard to find a doctor well versed in how to administer PRP! I spent a lot of time making phone calls and reading reviews before going to her and I feel pretty lucky she's who I went with. read more

This is about my husband's experience, but I was there for every visit and procedure. My husband was hospitalized for cellulitis in late September/early October 2024. Thankfully, through my nagging, he already had a podiatry appointment with Dr. Shirazi. Dr. Shirazi looked at his X-rays, his foot history (is that a thing?), and said she was almost 100% positive that his cellulitis was related to a foot bone problem. The bone was contacting the skin, causing infection and calluses. She scheduled the procedure in December 2024 and a bone removal procedure (forgot the name). It was easy peasy outpatient with minimal pain (only Tylenol needed). The only issue was the awkward and uncomfortable boot! That was the worst part of the procedure!! The first procedure went so well that he had the other foot done in March 2025. It went exactly the same as the first procedure with minimal pain, but with the same complaints about the boot!! The entire staff is incredible and caring!! We appreciated everyone from Melissa (who has the patience of a saint) to Jennifer (who had to deal with a barrage of questions from my husband) to Dr. Shirazi (who was awesome personally, experienced, and with her surgical skill relieved all of his foot pain)!!! THANK YOU!!! HIGHLY recommend this office!!! read more

The warnings about Dr Billings are all true. I can only surmise she is a sadist and is incurious about learning about people's injuries. She bent my wrist viciously without warning and then proceeded to push harder in all directions despite my yells. This was before xray. The xray showed no fracture, but there's no way it would show a sprain. I asked what she thought happened and she said "you did something that made your wrist angry." To top it off she had a student observing and this student was visibly disturbed by the Dr's clear mishandling. Avoid at all costs. read more

Don't waste your money on the orthotics. They are too wide and bulky to fit in most shoes. Forget trying to leave a message for your doctor. I tried 4 times without success. There was never a return call. Would recommend looking elsewhere for doctors. read more

Dr. Movassaghi always was my mother's surgeon for her recent knee replacement surgery. In preparing for her surgery Jennifer work diligently to make sure not only all of the authorizations and pre-material was ready and available for the doctor prior to surgery. She made sure my mother had all of her prerequisite labs and appointments, and insured my mother had all of the information she needed to feel calm and taken care of. Mom says she is always pleasant and always returns her calls, same for all of the other employees of the office. This review is to really highlight Jennifer and Dr. M's exemplary and compassionate service. As a leader in managed healthcare, I understand how nerve wrecking major surgeries are, especially for our senior community, and I am particularly aware to recognize the importance of the micro moments. Jennifer really made sure my mother was seen and taken care of and for that I will be eternally grateful!! One concern though, is the front desk staff in the office. Often rude and curt they leave a little bit more to be desired in the experience than dealing with the entire Pasadena orthopedics team. Hopefully, that can get rectified so that the stellar service received from discreet individuals can be spread across the entire office. read more

Went for initial shots in my shoulders for pain. They never got back to me with a date for my shoulder injections after calling back numerous times they never were able to give an appointment always promising to get back to me. Also it's $10.00 to park all valet service parking. Valet only takes cash. They charged me $10.00 to park in the designated handicap parking with my blue hanger card updated and visible. I was told to pay $10.00 Handicap or not pay $10.00 or leave their very large empty parking lot. It was a quiet professional office everyone acted professionally the first procedure went fine. Got the bill paid it. Never heard anything from them again ...as I was scheduled for a follow up, it never happened. I ended up at OSS Orthopedic Surgery Specialists in Burbank. Where everything was handled very smoothly and professionally. I am confused as to why I was denied care. read more

I have an upcoming hand surgical procedure. The office staff were excellent scheduling my initial appointment as well as discharging me. Met with Dr. Annette Billings and I'm so impressed with her bedside manner, knowledge, and experience. She was patient and took the time to explain what needs to be done with understanding regarding my concerns and needs. Scheduling the procedure was flawless. Special shout-out to Jennifer C. who was so helpful and responsible ensuring that my primary care's office staff received my Pro-Op orders. Her patience and understanding is so appreciated. I teach in healthcare and notice a well-run office and caring staff. read more

Dr Billings, is a totally reserved, introverted oddball and she sucks, she kept referring to me as "Sweetie" the whole time I was there and I'm a grown middle aged adult. My doctor friend said that was considered unprofessional and it would have bothered her as well. She also thought a steroid injection would give me a new hand. The appropriate protocol was PHYSICAL THERAPY. Billings gives odd stares and makes long weird pauses. Not very helpful. Dr. Gipsman won't even write notes.. how lazy can a person be?? No real help here, so at the very LEAST you should be able to give time off to recover from exacerbation of injuries!! Ugh!!! Useless!!! The worst part is their company logo is some bizarre sexual brand image reminiscent of an upskirt photo. You understand, the popular image of photographing women from the ground up, under their skirts. Ugh I have to see that every time I'm there. WHAT WERE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?! IT must be some inside humor. For once, most of the clerical staff is nice. That's not common in most medical facilities! read more

I visited Dr. Bijan Ameri at Pasadena Orthopedics for a severe sciatic condition that I had been suffering from for 16 years. Given the severity of my 16-year-long sciatic condition, Dr. Bijan Ameri advised surgery as the primary solution, foregoing other less immediate options. Not only was Dr. Bijan Ameri a complete professional, but he also showed a very personal and reassuring side in my treatment. He patiently answered all my questions, encouraged me to research and learn more about the procedure, and invited me to ask further questions. He made me feel comfortable and at ease during a time when I had to make a very big decision. After careful consideration of all the information, my interactions with Dr. Ameri, and his diagnosis, I made the decision to proceed with the spinal fusion surgery that Dr. Ameri recommended, an Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF). I felt well-prepared for the ALIF surgery thanks to Dr. Ameri's specific details and my own research, which included watching videos of the procedure. I greatly appreciated Dr. Ameri's reassuring presence and support on the morning of the surgery, as I was experiencing significant anxiety. His dedication to patient care was evident even after the surgery, as Dr. Ameri's personal and attentive approach was consistent during my time in the hospital. Six months post-operatively, my sciatic pain is completely gone. I've experienced some of the recovery challenges Dr. Ameri forewarned me about, and I remain confident in a full recovery within his estimated 1-year timeline. I can confidently say that Dr. Ameri exceeded all my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for his outstanding care. I share this as a testimonial, with the sincere hope that it will aid someone who finds themselves in the same difficult situation I was in, making a decision. read more

I went for a second opinion. I read Dr Billings would explain things. She barely did an exam, gave me some medical term I had to look up when I got home, and referred me to an out of network PT for online PT. It was a complete waste of time and a $350 bill for 10 minutes with no answers. read more

Dr. Billings is vicious, uncaring and really rough. I would avoid her and will never go back to her again! While describing my symptoms, she grabs my thumb and squeezed it really hard to the point that I nearly jumped off the table. Obviously, she knew exactly what was wrong but interrupted me to say that a shot would fix it. I told her that I really, really didn't handle shots well but she didn't care. She never even discussed any alternatives. She kept pushing for the shot and I said that she hadn't even told me what was wrong with my thumb yet. Then I asked her what caused it and her reply was "just life." I reluctantly agreed to the shot and as I was trying to prepare myself I asked her what exactly she was going to do and how long it would take. She looked irritated and said that it would take 5 seconds, which we both knew was a lie. The injection was absolutely excruciating and it took everything to stay still so that she could finish. When it was over she just says "all done" and I'm just sobbing because even though she was done, I was still in a huge amount of pain. She just looked at me put a box tissue on me and said she'd come check on me in a few minutes. I was absolutely traumatized and knew I couldn't drive home and stayed there until about 45 minutes later I asked her staff where she was. She came back in and was a bit nicer and asked if I felt better then told me not to cook that night because my thumb would be numb. I asked how long the injection's effectiveness would last and she only said most people only need one shot. My entire hand hurt more and more as the night went on - something I wasn't prepared for. I'm nearly a week out from the shot and I'm not that that shot helped me at all. read more

Dr Shirazi has been the only doctor who actually listened to me and was able to help with both issues. She made me custom orthotics by doing a 3D scan of my feet and this completely eliminated my heel pain. She also got rid of my nail fungus with laser when none of the over the counter stuff worked. Shes been a godsend. Highly recommend. read more

I just wanted to share with you what a great practice Pasadena Orthopedics is! Caring and efficient from the front office to the xray technician they have done a great job! I feel very fortunate to have Dr Gipsman ,as my physician as he is very helpful in presenting my options for treatment.So appreciative of all that they do as a caring team of professionals! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Shirazi and the team at Pasadena Orthopedics. I am very happy with the care that Dr. Shirazi has provided; her warmth and genuine care for my medical needs distinguish her from other providers I've had in the past. One person that I would especially want to recognize is Elizabeth Nino. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything was in place to make sure my surgery went on as scheduled: we ran into a few snags at the last minute, and she was a diligent partner in making sure we cleared all the hurdles. Elizabeth also patiently and efficiently handled all the paperwork I needed for my employer and for filing for disability benefits. It is not typical to find someone like Elizabeth - her professionalism, courtesy, and follow-up are exceptional. read more

My husband and I both come here for our orthopedic issues, and we applaud the doctors we've seen and the staff who keep things in running order! The main draw for us is this: their treatment philosophy -- to try everything to avoid surgery, unless it's absolutely necessary, of course. Lucky for us, that's exactly what we hoped for! But if we do end up needing it, I trust these doctors. They spend time to make sure you understand your options and make an informed decision. The second, important issue is the doctor's bedside manner. You feel "seen and heard" and not just a body or a specimen! I recall one appointment when the doctor even said, "it's good to see you!" The third issue is the way they conduct their business--you don't ever feel like you're being rushed along, like an assembly line of appointments! Last but not least is the staff--very efficient and accommodating--we have been fortunate to have been able to get an appointment when we need to, make changes if necessary, and get information in a timely manner with proper follow-through! The doctors we've seen are Dr Shirazi and Dr Gipsman. Love them! read more

I have seen 3 doctors here. 2 of which are not responsible, Dr Mathewson for knee. During my appt he never once looked at me in the eyes and immediately suggested a cortisone shot. I sm happy i said no because i am on a couple meds which should not be mixed with this shot. He never asked me if i was taking any meds. The other was Dr Shirazi for foot. I ended up with a very expensive pair if show insoles. I gradually broke them in. After 3 months I walked 20 minutes like I was doing. I ended ip with a knee meniscus tear. Omg. I tried to get a refund for these very very priced i doles. With no communication from her. Find another orthopedic group. Not this one. read more

Dr. Billings is amazing - empathic, warm, concerned, and possessed with a level of confidence that is well deserved. She performed Dupuytren's contracture surgery hand surgery on me at Huntington Hospital, conducted multiple follow up visits, and coordinated visits to physical therapy --- all of which has done wonders for my recovery. The office staff is very warm and upbeat. I do think their stark waiting room could benefit from having a makeover - the immense plant belongs in a jungle. read more

1. Solved 50% of my issues hence the 2 stars. 2. Dr. Billings did not provide a care plan despite receiving a procedure and diagnosis which impacts my career. What provider does not offer a care plan? Dr. Billings wanted me to come back for my care plan after begging for it over the phone via front desk. One should never need to beg for care instructions and one should never have to pay for a care plan due to lack of due diligence. 3. I was diagnosed with 2 issues which have career and lifestyle implications, especially for someone in their early 30s. Prodding for more education on the diagnosis was shot down and chalked up to age LOL. I feel bad for senior folks coming here as they may be receiving insufficient care. 4. Front office needed to change my appt but I was never informed until I called the to beg for a care plan. 5. Telling me to get a new job to fix my issues is unprofessional and unwarranted. Doctors need to support my lifestyle and career by helping me take care of me and solving my health issues. Fast forward to a few weeks, I moved 7 hours away so I did the big drive and I took the day off from work for my follow up. My follow up appt ended up being 3-5 mins long and Dr. Billings did not look into other issues popping up due to being in a brace for 6 weeks. I'm waiting for my $500+ bill for nothing. I wouldn't drive more than 2-5 mins to come back as that's the level of effort provided. read more

Excellent care. Very happy with bedside manner and personal attention! I feel very happy to recommend!

The whole staff at Pasadena orthopedic is so helpful and considerate of all my needs as their patient! Office staff, scheduling, and the doctors actually listen and help with everything they are able to take care of..! Thank you Pasadena orthopedic for all that you do!!! read more

I visited this location twice for two separate health conditions. I will just state what happened and leave it up to you to decide whether this office is someone you would want to care for you. My first visit was concerning sciatic pain. I saw Dr. Ameri. He was cordial and seemed knowledgeable on the surface, but that was soon put into doubt. He asked me to have a ct performed to look further at my spine. I did so and when the results came in I was called by this office saying they ordered the wrong ct. The ct I need to have done must be done at Huntington Hospital instead and before going I need to have a blood test. I went and got the blood test and waited for the results. I got another call from this office saying they ordered the wrong blood test. That is all I needed to hear to know that Dr. Ameri or his staff are completely incompetent. I was not going to go further with him. I also found out the ct they wanted me to have would cost me $150 out of my pocket whereas the previous one was covered 100% by my insurance. Easy decision to fire this doctor whether it was his fault or his staff. Next Dr. Shirazi, a podiatrist in the same office that I saw for plantar fasciitis in my foot. I have had this before over 10 years ago and I knew that all I needed were two doses of cortisone. The first one does not take care of it. She was ok with the first dose and suggested a list of exercises to stretch out the fascia. After a month of doing these exercises the pain did not go away so I made another appointment to hopefully get the second injection of cortisone. In the meantime I did a little of my own research regarding different aspects of plantar fasciitis as to how you get it and also how to treat it. Of course online you will have one doctor saying one thing and another the exact opposite so when I did get to see her again I asked her about the differing opinions. She got a little defensive and wondered why I questioned her opinion. I told her concerning the exercises that one doctor said that if you have bone spurs on top of plantar fasciitis that the exercises would aggravate them further. She replied "I am your doctor not the internet". I also asked about the thought that walking barefoot causes this ailment and she was in agreement even though I told her I have walked barefoot my entire life. She also did not want to give me the 2nd injection even though I told her the first time I came down with this that it took two doses. In the end she seemed put off that I doubted her but she gave me the 2nd injection and as I predicted I am perfectly fine and can walk as much as I want to. I get that doctors are taught certain principles when they are in medical school, but to not have any flexibility in accepting other ideas, I have a problem trusting that physician. read more

Dr. Billings took care of my mother and she focused on mom's well being. We appreciated her direct approach and professional expertise. The staff was friendly and very efficient. A good experience all in all. read more

The staff were friendly, checkin was relatively easy. But Dr Billings was in and out within 2 minutes, more concerned with my easy case getting her back on schedule than even saying'hello' or 'how can i help' . Boom, tennis elbow, nothing else could possibly be wrong, i don't want to know u, this is a slam dunk, get outta my hair, adios. Dr Billings is a perfect example of our f'd up medical system. She was even an hour behind at 9:30 am. I won't be using her PT recommendation either. read more

From the moment I walked in the door, to the time of my departure, it was a very pleasant experience. Friendly, competent staff. Especially appreciated the interactions with Angelica, Melissa, and Elizabeth. They were friendly, warm, and professional. Dr. Billings was phenomenal. Immediately engaged with me, great eye contact, comforting demeanor, and clearly very knowledgeable. I recommend her and her staff with no hesitation. Thanks to all of you!!! read more

I turned to this practice because of the need for a timely appointment. Looking for a hand specialist in Pasadena meant several weeks or even months of waiting lists. Dr. Billings at Pasadena Orthopedics was readily available. She was quick but very specific during my appointment and answered all my questions clearly. She identified my hand problems as actually two different issues (carpal tunnel plus significant arthritis in the thumb) and recommended specific treatment for each. I've already had significant improvement, and have completed two surgeries, one on each wrist for the carpal tunnel. The outpatient surgeries followed her pattern of professional treatment, and readily available to answer questions. Pasadena Orthopedics in general has been able to accommodate my appointment needs, they operate extended hours. They have pleasant front office staff. read more
