I went to see Dr. Pamela Mehta as an out-of-network patient because I was in severe pain in my hip/pelvis area and wanted help quickly. Unfortunately, the visit was one of the most disappointing and unprofessional medical experiences I have had. Before the appointment, I was asked to get an X-ray. At the visit, Dr. Mehta looked at the X-ray and told me it looked fine. When I pointed to the exact area where I had pain, she seemed unsure whether the issue was my hip, rib, abdomen, intestines, or pelvis. That alone was concerning, but what concerned me most was that there was essentially no physical examination at all. She did not ask me to perform any movements, did not test range of motion, did not ask me to lift my leg, did not examine my gait, and did not physically evaluate the painful area. I explained that the pain felt bone-related and became worse when standing on my left foot, but there was still no meaningful hands-on evaluation. Instead, she ordered an MRI and recommended ibuprofen. The MRI was then denied by insurance more than once. Based on the denial explanation I received, the medical necessity was not documented adequately, and the clinical reasoning submitted does not appear to have matched my actual symptoms. Weeks later, the issue is still unresolved, and the office seemed unclear about the peer-to-peer process and the status of the authorization. The whole reason I paid out of network was that I was in serious pain and needed timely, competent care. Instead, I left with no clear diagnosis, no real exam, an MRI request that insurance rejected, and weeks of delay. This is exactly the kind of experience that makes patients lose trust in medical providers: a quick visit, little actual evaluation, an expensive out-of-network bill, and poor follow-through when the authorization fails. When I later went to the office to ask what was going on, the interaction became even more concerning. I was frustrated, but I was there because I had paid for care and still had no answer. During that office interaction, Dr. Mehta initially said something along the lines of reimbursing me so I would leave. When I responded that yes, I wanted my money back, she immediately changed position and said I would not be reimbursed, then threatened to call 911. To me, that felt retaliatory and punitive, not professional. It came across less like a physician trying to resolve a legitimate patient complaint and more like someone trying to use pressure and intimidation once I challenged the quality of care and asked for a refund. Based on my experience, this visit raised serious concerns about competency, documentation, follow-through, professionalism, and judgment under pressure. A doctor can have a bad day, but appearing unsure about the source of pain, skipping a meaningful physical exam, submitting an MRI request that gets denied repeatedly, and then threatening to call 911 after a patient asks for accountability says a lot. I paid out of network expecting expertise, urgency, and professionalism. What I experienced was a rushed and inadequate evaluation, poor documentation, poor follow-through, and an extremely unprofessional response when I questioned the care. If you have hip or pelvis pain and need a careful physical exam, clear clinical reasoning, proper insurance documentation, and respectful follow-through, I would not recommend this office based on my experience. = What is especially troubling about this response is the gaslighting. Instead of addressing the substance of my complaint, Dr. Mehta is trying to rewrite the situation as if the main issue was patient behavior rather than the quality of care, lack of meaningful examination, poor follow-through, and failed MRI authorization process. She says there was a "well documented physical exam." That does not match my experience in the room. I was not asked to perform meaningful movement testing, range-of-motion testing, gait evaluation, leg raise testing, or any hands-on examination of the painful area. Claiming after the fact that a complete exam occurred does not change what I experienced as the patient. She also claims law enforcement was contacted because of "threatening behavior." I strongly reject that characterization. No law enforcement ever showed up, and from my perspective, the 911 threat was used to intimidate me and reframe a legitimate patient complaint as a safety issue in front of other patients and staff. The issue is not simply that insurance denied the MRI. The issue is that I paid out of network expecting timely, competent orthopedic care, but received no clear diagnosis, no meaningful exam from my perspective, poor follow-through, and then a false accusation that I was thr

Dr. Mehta did an x-ray that found no arthritis or bone spurs. She recommended PT type exercises. She said it was a minor tear and didn't recommend surgery that could possibly make it worse over time and cause arthritis. I did the exercises religiously for a month and took a prescription anti-inflammatory for a week. For years I continued to play tennis and pickleball with no recurring discomfort as long as I did the exercises three times a week. As I approach 80 years old (now I walk/hike/bike ride instead of court sports) I still have no issues with the knee. And a study recently came out saying meniscus surgery has proven to cause a worsening of the tear and painful arthritis. THANK YOU Dr. Mehta for protecting and improving my life.

I'm writing this review to share my experience with this clinic to hopefully save others from…read morepotential danger. If you are considering making an appointment here, please read on before doing so: I was experiencing quite a bit of pain from my ankle due to inflammation coming from a bone spur. I called a few places before this clinic, but as expected, no one could see me right away, as their schedules were already booked for at least a few days. When I called this place, they said they could see me right away (perhaps that isn't a good sign). But due to the pain, and because there seemed to be quite a lot of positive reviews here, I decided to visit the clinic. After a very hasty evaluation, Dr. Guan had very quickly concluded that I needed surgery to repair the problem, claiming that I needed to remove the bone spur and repair a torn ligament. He urged me to do book the surgery ASAP, within a few days, because he didn't want things to get worse. He scared me enough to go ahead and move forward with booking the pre-surgery consultation. I went home that day obviously very disappointed by the news, but after speaking with my wife and some friends, they had all advised me to seek a second opinion. I also looked into taking care of the inflammation myself for the time being, using ice and voltaren (something that Dr. Guan never even mentioned or suggested). After two days of just simple at-home treatment for the inflammation, the swelling went way down, and the pain began to dissipate. After about a week, my foot was back to normal, and I had no pain at all, and resumed all of my usual activities (running, jump roping, etc). I did go in for a second opinion at another clinic, and this doctor was much more thorough with his evaluation, much more kind and patient, and his conclusion was drastically different. He explained that there was no need for surgery at all, and moreover, the determination to have surgery to repair a torn ligament should be made after at least taking an MRI, which Dr. Guan didn't do. In addition, he performed a number of mobility and strength tests to evaluate this ligament in question, and let me know that I wouldn't be able to pass certain tests if the ligament was indeed torn. Finally, I showed him a picture of the ultrasound that Dr. Guan took, and he explained to me that there was no evidence of a ligament tear. There are a number of reviews here that label this clinic as a "money trap" and that is highly accurate. Dr. Guan prioritizes making money over the care of his patients, and it seems that he may even do this at the cost of his patients well being (I would have been a victim to this, had I proceeded with the surgery). I am leaving two stars instead of one because his receptionist/front desk is very friendly and helpful. But if the review was for "Dr." Guan alone, I would give negative stars if I could. I hope this review will help prevent future mis-diagnoses and shady practices from occurring in the future at this clinic.
