The best doctor i ever had. And his staff are amazing. Very hard to find such a great Doctor. I recommend him. read more

I went to see Dr. Patel after I was involved in a car accident, where another driver crashed into me. The entire office staff is so incredibly friendly, helpful, attentive and makes themselves available at all hours of the working day. It was very easy to schedule an appointment and they send reminders throughout the week which is helpful. Dr. Patel provided me with a comprehensive diagnosis of my medical ailments and injuries, as well as, explained all the possible treatment options and educated me on the pros and cons of each one. I opted to proceed with the EmSculpt Treatment, which I cannot recommend enough. The difference in muscle strength and overall sensation in my body from my first session to my last was very noticeable and provided me with relief in my pain and soreness from the accident. 10/10 I would recommend coming to see Dr. Patel if you are in need of orthopedic services. read more

Super disappointed in the doctor and the entire practice. I went in optimistic that he would help with the problem and left after seeing him for 5 minutes being made to feel like a 'silly woman' with a non-problem. I wouldn't refer him to anyone read more

If you don't have insurance, they will rip you off. Be very careful. They gave me one price on the phone and then when I came into the office, they tried to charge me double. I have never met such an unprofessional medical office. I have had excellent surgeons from San Francisco to Boston with professional office staffs most of my life so I am really shocked to be a victim of their payment games. This office is SHADY. Be careful! read more

Went for an appointment at 11 AM was not seen. but for Hispanics were saying before me who came in after me I guess I wasn't seen because I'm not Hispanic that's a damn shame. read more

Few elite physicians are as caring and accessible as Rajan Patel. He is a world class doctor and a humble practitioner of the art of putting people back together. He has helped me get through numerous amateur athlete type injuries. When a bad auto accident screwed up my back, Dr. Patel got me to a spine doctor that was an expert for a specific procedure. Most orthopedic surgeons would try to do the operation themselves; not Dr. Patel. This past week I underwent a left hip arthroplasty, a total hip replacement. I walked on my new hip without crutches or a walker the same day of the surgery! This was possible due to Dr Patel's minimally invasive technique honed over nearly 5000 operations. I encourage anyone thinking about hip surgery to check out Rajan Patel. He is one of the best surgeons in Southern California. read more

Do not go here. Total rip-off. Judy in the billing department is quiet possibly the rudest least knowledgeable person to have ever worked at a doctors office. The fact that they are charging 411 for a "knee "sleeve" of which they negotiated to 246 with Cigna and I am 100% responsible for is border line fraud. https://www.corediscountmedical.com/product/donjoy-hinged-lateral-j-neoprene-knee-support-copy/. This knee brace is better than the one they sold me. They also charged 65.00 for a "brace fitting" which constituted them asking what size I was and handing me a large one and I left. Had they told me this sleeve was going to cost 246 I would have laughed in their face and the fact that they justify charging this amount shows me what a complete ripoff not only they are but the insurance companies as well. They justify it but saying this is my out of pocket deductible and "blame" it on them but the fact they would even charge my insurance company 246 for a sleeve the probably paid 20 for is why our entire healthcare system is broken. I will see you in court before I give you another dime on top of the 45 I already paid for this thing. Terrible. read more

Patel Orthopedics - Orthopedists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was on wait line today through the phone for about 40 minutes and as soon as the receptionist got to me she said "hello" and hung up right after, didn't even give me a chance to say anything. So rude and unprofessional. read more

Tower Orthopedics took every possible precaution to make sure its patients were safe from contracting the coronavirus. I had truly not seen or experienced an office so well-prepared for COVID-19 compliance. From the time I entered the office, interacted with staff and met with Dr. Patel, I was impressed by the professionalism and care I received. My exam went very smoothly because I could trust that my health was of the utmost importance to the Doctor and staff! I would recommend Tower Orthopedics with the highest level of confidence! read more

The worst wait for a time, on time for the appointment. Fill up 20 pages of info, never been fill 20pages of info. And on that waited for 1 frakking hour to be seen. I wouldn't recommend this orthopedic center. Parking fee is $2.50 per 15 mins, and DONT VALIDATE. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have been recomendid by my lawyer to Tower Orthopaedic. My experience was one of a kind. I am very satisfied and would recommend others.

Every single staff in this god forsaken place except for the doctors are just HORRID. The front desk ALWAYS has an attitude, is condescending, and rarely if not ever helpful. ESPECIALLY Veronica. They can't even do a simple thing as to sending a report to my attorney every visit. It's not like I visit every week, I come once every 6 weeks. Been three months since the last sent a report and due to that my injury and my case has made 0 progress. If you ever get referred here, refuse it and ask for a different place. I feel bad for the doctors because they're so compassionate and empathetic, but the rest of the staff just don't give 2 ****s about us patients. They're just here to fill in their hours and go home. Nothing more nothing less. They don't want to help, they don't try to help, and always gives you an attitude read more

ZERO stars for the services! If it wasn't for Dr. Bakshian's expertise I would have STOP going to this place after my first visit. The services from appointment center and front desk to everyone including office managers, Doctor's assistants that I have come in contact with has bad attitude and absolutely no one is willing to help you at all. Forget if you ever need something b/c you wold be waiting for lifetime. No one ever calls you back when they say they would or care to. They have a new location on San Vincente. The doctors are great but if you don 't mind being mistreated and receiving NO good customer services then go for it. read more

This place is not worth your time, energy and money. They don't know what they are doing and you will not get better. After 3 months I did not get better. The facility itself is run down and the methods they use don't work. The PT's actually couldn't even remember which leg my injury was on. I mostly went to see Zach who literally knows nothing about the profession he is working in. You see a PT for 10 maybe 15 mins, then they pass you off to a assistant who knows even less then the PT, and after 25 mins of "Exercises and stretching" they ice you for another 10 and thats your hour session. Lastly your reception needs to go. The receptionist is rude, doesn't answer the phone for you to make appointments and doesn't answer the phone for you to cancel them. They charge you $100 for a missed cancel and the same even if you cancel the day of, say for a emergency. The staff is poorly trained and the owner Matthew is just as poorly trained. Go somewhere else. read more

These guys are great! Real human contact with real human people that really treat you... Unlike some other places I've been where they hook you up to an electrocuter and zap you till your "better"... Thanks guys! Keep it up! read more

This office is AMAZING. From Ms. Sabrina and the rest of the front desk crew to the x-ray tech whom was very careful and respectful of my injuries. My boy Chris who did my measurements was cool and respectful. (GO CHARGERS). Dr. Ganjiapour and Dr. Lee were the best doctors I've seen while dealing with this case. Thanks for all the well wishes and great advice. My only issue was parking so come at least 15-20 minutes before your appointment. Thanks everyone and have a great holiday season read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Patel for 2 years and when I tell you him and his staff are on point "I mean it". I have only known of a few Doctors that are amazing but his staff is as well. I have been treated with nothing more than great customer service and I wouldn't want to send anyone anywhere else. If you have an injury and Tower Orthapedics can help go See Dr. Patel right now. Thank you all read more

6 weeks and no returned phone call! I went in to see Dr. Patel late June for a knee injury. Went back 2 other times in addition to having an MRI done on my knee. Result was after consultation and review of MRI was a posterior horn medial meniscus tear. After discussion with Dr. Patel and research I decided to go ahead with surgery and that Sonia, Dr Patel's assistant, would be in touch with me once insurance approval was confirmed and we would schedule a time to do the surgery. A month went by and no word from Sonia so I reached out to her and left a voice mail the first part of September and no response. Since that time I received a letter from my insurance company that not enough information about the surgery was provided. Once I had this information I called Sonia again to help with the appeal form provided by my insurance company. Left another message with no returned call. The following week I called every day and left a message each time, all with the same result, no returned phone call. I called the receptionist at the front desk to see if Sonia was even there and she confirmed that she was. So I decided to take a copy of the insurance forms I received and bring them to her and determine what was required to appeal the decision. Dropped them off at the front desk as she was unavailable. Left a note on the paperwork for her to call me. Still no call from Sonia. I called again yesterday and today to follow up from dropping this information off weeks ago and it's just so unprofessional not to call back. Over 6 weeks and no response from Sonia. In the meantime, still having issues with my knee, spent over $400 in co-pays and no returned phone call. Even if she did call back, at this point not sure if I'd have any confidence to proceed with the surgery for fear that something would not be processed properly by Sonia and I'd be out even more money. Sorry Dr. Patel, I'm impressed by your service and professionalism, but your staff is lacking just common manners by not returning a simple phone call for over 6 weeks. read more

Great office staff, however they do not validate parking. Also forget about asking for water. The Doctors there are too cheap to pitch in and get a drinking fountain for their patients. read more

Extreme frustration with the consistent 45 minute wait on top of the extortionate parking garage costs. Then I get to see the doctor very briefly. Zero consideration for my time. read more

Unbelievable waited 3 hours just for a consultation. The front desk even ask me to come in 15 minutes earlier. If your a first time patient this has to be the worse location ever. This place is slow. I don't know what they are really doing. They need time management help. read more

Patel Orthopedics - Orthopedists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr. Patel is my doctor and after years of dealing with severe shoulder pain he helped me discover what the cause was. Long story made short - I had surgery and after a week post op I was able to use my shoulder again where as before surgery, it was hard to put clothes on as my shoulder hurt too much to lift my arm. I am 3 weeks post op and I could not be any happier. read more

45min sitting in the waiting room, they overbook, it's like a herd of cattle, I would not recommend.

Had an appointment at 10am with Dr. Bakshian. The doctor didn't see me for over two hours! The rest of my day was ruined because of this. What's the point of having an appointment if you have to wait almost two and a half hours for the doctor. This is a place people come because they have back pain. Sitting for that long certainly made the pain worse. And it didn't help that the waiting room chairs are uncomfortable. If you have an appointment at this place, make sure you tell them beforehand that you can't be there for 2 hours. They probably assume you have all day to wait. read more

Dr. Benshian does not even deserve 1 star. After waiting 2.5 hrs in the room. My mom was suffering terrible pain on her hip. He diagnosed that it may be Bursitis on our 1st visit.. Recommended Physical Therapy and come back to inject in 1 month. Asked him if she needs to have MRI, he said he can not do anything since she is old and can not do any surgery!! After 1.5 months of PT with no improvement went to see him. Waited 2.5 hrs in the room. He came in and wants to send for MRI. He did not remember his last plan of care to inject Steroid to reduce inflammation!!! He then agrees to give her a shot and leaves the room. Her nurse brings in the injection kit , waiting another 30 minutes. Mom was in too much pain and left the office. He has no compassion. read more

If you are not wealthy or if you do not have the best medical insurance money can buy, I would recommend NOT going to Tower Orthopaedics and specifically Dr. Rajan Patel. If you want to avoid unethical staff members who are trying to rip you off, I would recommend NOT going to Tower Orthopaedics and specifically Dr. Rajan Patel. I made an appointment with Dr. Patel's office in January, at least two weeks before my appointment, at which time I asked what my out of pocket cost would be because I was with a new health insurance plan and I wasn't sure. The receptionist assured me that his assistant would get back to me with that information before my appointment. A week before my appointment, I still hadn't heard from the assistant so I called again and left a voice message stating that I was on limited income and really needed to know what my out of pocket costs would be in order to determine whether I should consult another Orthopedic specialist. On the day of my appointment, I still had not heard back. I decided to go, because I did not have the time to change my appointment given I was very busy with giving care to my sick mother who has multiple diseases. When I arrived, Dr. Patel's assistant still did not have the information I had requested repeatedly prior to my arrival. After waiting for about 20 minutes, the assistant had the receptionist tell me what my out of pocket cost would be - between $84-$100. That was within my budget. When I asked how much an x-ray would cost, if Dr. Patel should want to take one, the receptionist said they did not have that information nor could they obtain that information. I replied that I didn't understand why they couldn't because I had just been to the dentists and they were able to provide me with a cost breakdown of each and every item, including x-rays, for my visit. I responded then that I would just have to decline an x-ray if Dr. Patel recommended. The receptionists then proceeded to try to pressure me to concede to an x-ray. I repeatedly told her no. I should have walked away at that time, that's on me that I didn't, but I stayed. The receptionist said she would find out the cost. After 10 more minutes, she returned stating, she could not find out the cost. And I said I would refuse. When I finally saw Dr. Patel, he was agitated and curt, and took the very first minutes to complain about what an annoyance Tower Orthopedics' computer malfunction that morning had been for him. Then made an insensitive remark about being neglectful of my own care. When I called him on that remark, he dismissed it just as a joke. Then, after 10 minutes I heard his iPhone alarm blaring through his jacket pocket, which he did not acknowledge at all. It all happened so quickly, I barely had a chance to get my bearings, but I did realize something was very very awry with this visit. When I went to pay, the receptionist said I owed $169. I was outraged. Clearly this is not a medical office, this is some kind of used car dealership disguised as a healthcare service. Afterwards, I did my due diligence and called 5 other Orthopedic doctors' offices and IMMEDIATELY was quoted an estimate for my out of pocket costs as well as any x-rays that might be recommended. I consider my experience with Dr. Patel's office, both him and his entire staff, tantamount to egregious misconduct. I have lodged a formal complaint with Tower Orthopaedics' "Practice Manager," Nikki Pontrelli and if I don't hear an adequate response from them, I will take it to the California Medical Board. If you respect yourself and you received treatment as if you were a second-class citizen from Dr. Patel and/or his staff, I advise you to do the same. Thank you and good luck. read more

Saw Dr. Patel for a second opinion for my knee pain. Dr. Patel was great. He took the time discussing and explaining what he can and he can not do for me. Unfortunately, his nurse (I don't know her name) has a bad attitude. When she calls on patients in the waiting room, she doesn't say "hello" or smile. She looked at me from head to toe, then tells me to go to a room. She said "I will be right there", but never comes. Waited for Dr. Patel for over 45 mins. before he finally came in. I didn't mind waiting for the doctor because he took his time with me. He's nurse needs to go. She has no compassionate for the patients. Bad attitude. I don't know why she still employed there. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Today is my last session of physical therapy here, and I write this as I am laying on heat in the back room. I can't even express in words how much I appreciate everything everyone has done for me here, but I'll do my best! It's rough having been an athlete, going through a random car crash that holts everything, then having to face a surgery(labrum tear in the hip), and then facing recovery time. I am 5 mths post surgery now, and my legs don't look like tiny little twigs anymore! This pt place conforms to what your abilities were prior to your injury, and comes up with fun, creative ways to get you strong again. Also, the aggressively awesome butt massages have been a life saver, and will never be forgotten haha! This place is small, but surpasses the level of quality compared to other pt places with the awesome staff. They're all incredibly friendly, fun, funny, and know exactly what needs to be done. I always looked forward to my sessions. The front desk guy even gives you a friendly reminder call the day before, so you never miss an appt. I'll definitely miss everyone here, but they've given me all the necessary tools in knowledge to keep me on the right path to a full recovery. More butt massages, loads of stretching, and more powaaaaa! Samantha, Pauline, Eric, Chris, Daniel! Thank you all so so much! You are all truly good people, and I can't thank you all enough. Thank you!! This place is connected to, and in the same building as my amazing doctor that performed my surgery. I'll most likely write a review about his office as well. Thank you, Dr. Patel!!!! read more

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Patel and Tower Orthopedic as I am now recovering from my second surgery which was again successfully and skillfully accomplished by them. I had a complete hip replacement 3 years ago and now just completed a laparoscopic knee surgery to replace a tendon...both done by Dr. Patel. His professional and empathetic bedside manner combined with his skills make him an ideal choice for anyone looking for a proven true professional and i will continue to recommend him to both friends and family without hesitation. read more

Honestly I did my research and I love this place everyone was so nice to my hubby when he went in for a broken foot he saw Dr Patel my hubby was very happy with the level of professionalism that the Dr brought after seeing 3 other Dr's we are very glad we saw Dr Patel the place is nice it's clean and we are very Happy with the process read more

I so far have only had one visit but it was great. I saw doctor Alicia Muccigrosso and she was great. She took her time to explain my condition and I did not feel rushed at all. The office staff also was great. read more

I really appreciate the service I got from this facility. Right from the time when I called to see Dr. Rajen Patel for my busted knee, I always got a good response. Dr. Rajen Patel is very knowledgeable about his profession. I am so glad my insurance refers me to him & to this facility. It's a long drive for me but it's all worth it. Dr. Rajen Patel always have that encouraging attitude that makes me believe in myself the reason for my fast recovery. His assistant-Jeff is also very nice & compassionate. read more

I work in the medical field as a technician. I definitely know what to look for! This outfit is TOP NOTCH! The staff are knowledgeable and efficient, Dr Ganjianpour is personable AND a skilled surgeon! My scar from my biceps tendon attachment has actually been admired by other people with this same surgical procedure, as it it so discreet! The surgery was timely and painless, the nursing staff at Towers choice of hospitals, just STELLAR! My post-op care was superlative and I would choose this experience again for other procedures in a heartbeat! My ONE bad experience came at the hands of the doctors office I was referred to for my pre-op exam....NOT part of Dr G's group! The wait was ridiculously long, the equipment was dated, the ekg malfunctioned repeatedly and required additional staff to "fix" it....I wasn't particularly impressed....NO REFLECTION on Tower Ortho intended!!! read more

I have had two shoulder surgeries with Dr. Ganjianpour over the past 2 1/2 years. Both were very successful and have really given me a new lease on life. Yes the therapy is long and grueling but totally worth it. Also, staff has been very flexible and accommodating when calling in to refill prescriptions. read more

Dr. Sam Bakshian is one of God's Angels. He listens, he thoroughly evaluates, he is honest, he respects you and tells-it-to-you straight ... once you've both decided on a course of treatment, action takes place and the healing begins. He is thoughtful, responsive, great "bed-side" manner, and a gentleman. He is a Board-Certified ... OUTSTANDING WORLD-CLASS Orthopedic Spine Specialist ... and my doctor ... whom I TRUST. I was fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Bakshian, and through miracle-of-miracles, met his criteria to receive my own mesenchymal stem/plasma cell injections into L4-L5 disk and L4-L5, L5-S1 facet joints to regenerate this tissue... my own tissue ... in my lower back. I am healing and improving without-a-doubt. I am excited that I will have my "own-grown, new lower-back". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Sam Bakshian and his team at Tower Orthopedic. read more

I had my first ever surgery (disc replacement) from Dr. Sam Bakshian at Tower Orthopaedics and could not have had a better experience. I did a lot of research, saw several of the best surgeons in Los Angeles, and decided on Bakshian. He was personally very warm, supportive, patient, very big on educating me on all aspects of my injury and possible plans of action. He and his staff (that I now consider friends) fought for me to get the best treatment even when my insurance company tried to get me to do otherwise. A close friend has had multiple level disc surgery from one of the other doctors in the office, which is how I found out about Tower. The office is clean, contemporary, and every employee has been nothing but professional and friendly. I recommend Bakshian and his office regularly to family members, friends, and colleagues. My mother, who runs an organ transplant center, came out for the surgery and met with Bakshian. She was vey happy with the entire process from start to finish and felt I was in the best of hands. I cannot say enough nice things about the office, Sam Bakshian and the entire staff. They have my utmost respect and highest recommendation. read more
