    Before surgery

    I had 2 surgeries done on me by Richard Blanks for "both acl's torn in both knee's" and after my surgeries I found out from another doctor that my acl was never torn and doctor blanks messed up my meniscus during operation and unnecessarily replaced both my acl's for an insurance payout. I am 21 years old now and completely lost my ability to walk normally because of the trust I put in this doctor and it has been 2 years since I had those surgeries. Please save yourself and find a different doctor, I lost my sports career, my mobility, and my mother is traumatized from seeing me in this condition. You can see the before and after images of my MRI using the images I attached.

    Dr. Peter Pryko ans Richard Blanks should have their medical licenses under review, board action taken, and hopefully have their licenses to practice medicine REVOKED! Dr. Pryko gave me 10 steroid injections in my hip (three, rarely four is protocol), NOT in a sterile environment or under live X-Ray or ultrasound. I went in for mild hip pain and ended up with a destroyed hip due to Dr. Pryko's incompetence. Then Dr. Pryko and Dr. Blanks tried to con me out of $1500 to give me PRP on a destroyed hip joint! Anyone who knows even just a little bit about stem cell injections, PRP is to POTENTIALLY give very temporary pain relief to an area for mild arthritis or after a procedure and will not do anything for a joint that is destroyed! I thought it was weird that Dr. Blanks would not make eye contact with me when he was discussing PRP with me; it is because he knew he was doing something wrong, urging a procedure that he knew would not work for me, and opening his exposure to malpractice! Two SHADY doctors. This is called RETAIL MEDICINE - where the bottom line is to make money over best care practices for the patients!! I also hold documents from their office and my insurance company proving INSURANCE FRUAD!! Billing my insurance for services not given to me, then billing me as a "new patient" three years after my first visit and after two years of being there every three months for the steroid injections. I am NOT a new patient! But, I guess that earned Dr. Pryko and his office a few extra hundred dollars from my insurance. I also have pictures of Dr. Pryko giving me an injection after the power had gone out in the interior office room, it was pitch black, so he had me use the light from my cell phone to do the injection. He said "I have done so many of these, I can do them with my eyes closed." Until the needle falls on the floor...I have pictures of that, too. Also, the doctors notes in my file reflects that there was no power in the building, because they could not fax over my prescriptions to the pharmacy. Finally, Dr. Pryko has misspellings in his bio for Platinum Orthopedics. Apparently, he practices "join replacement," which I am assuming is supposed to be "joint replacement." If that is his attention to detail, I would NEVER allow, nor trust, him to ever do replace the biggest joint in my body! If you are referred to Dr. Pryko, Dr. Blanks, or Platinum Orthopedics, RUN!! Ask for another referral, we have so many good doctors here in Orange County, you DO NOT need to use this RETAIL MEDICINE practice or these two doctors that care more about making a few extra bucks by committing malpractice and insurance fraud, than providing you with the best care. Thank you for reading!! Jennifer

When I was checking in my sister two employees saw me but after I had walked back in and sat down in the lobby they were weirdly staring at me for little bit and finally asked if I "had an appointment" or if I was "a patient" after I stared back and made eye contact with the receptionist for a while. I felt unwelcomed when they had clearly saw me dropping off my sister and when other individuals walked in, some who did not sign-in as well, sat down and were not questioned by staff. Maybe instead of staring come and address the question or problem you have with me instead of making me feel uncomfortable and as if I was doing wrong. Unsure if this was racially motivated but it was very unsettling! Hope this can be addressed through some training of some sorts (:!

When it came to the appointment for the Dr. to read my results that's when the headache came. The office called me the evening before my appointment telling me the Dr. would be out for a month and that I need to reschedule. The day before?! I agreed to see a different Dr. instead, on the same day of my original appointment, at an earlier time. I rearranged my whole morning work schedule to be there. As I was pulling up 10 minutes before the appointment, the office called me to cancel AGAIN!!! Ten minutes before the appointment starts! They said the other Dr. was not going to be in and I need to reschedule. Completely unprofessional! Two canceled appointments within 24 hours, minutes before the appointment is scheduled!? I requested for my results to be read to me over the phone but I have little faith. If someone had canceled their Dr. appointment within 24 hours they would still be getting charged, yet they can do it twice? After going to the reviews I see that multiple people have had bad experiences with the office, the Dr.'s and surgeries. I do not trust this office to give me accurate information on my MRI results. If you have the ability to go somewhere else do it! Completely unprofessional
