I underwent a Mako robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery with Dr. Terence Delaney at Good…read moreSamaritan hospital. Prior to surgery, my pre-operative records--including a medication list reviewed and signed on the day of surgery--documented that I had recently taken daily doses of vitamin and herbal substances that are associated with increased bleeding risk; and hospital pre-operative materials and Dr. Delaney's website recommend discontinuing them before surgery. Despite this, I did not receive any documented instructions to discontinue these substances before surgery, and I was not advised of any increased bleeding risk related to them. Nor is there any documentation showing this information was evaluated for safety considerations prior to proceeding with my elective surgery, even though these records were included in my pre-operative chart and the Pre-op/Anesthesia Home Medication List was signed before my surgery. I was also not informed of the potential risks in variation of implant positioning with Mako robotic-assisted surgery, or other procedure-related risks associated with robotic-assisted surgery.. During my procedure, my blood pressure dropped to hypotensive levels for a prolonged period of time, which can be associated with ischemic events affecting vital organs, including eyes and inner ear. Following the procedure, I also experienced significant bleeding and developed a post-operative hematoma, which required a second surgery to resolve. A few days after my procedure, I experienced partial hearing loss (later diagnosed as SSHL) and partial vision loss (later diagnosed as NAION). These conditions are associated in medical literature with ischemic events, including those related to intraoperative hypotension. Based on my medical records, this sequence raised concerns about whether my documented medication use had been fully considered before surgery or whether it may have contributed to the resulting conditions. The procedure was also performed using a Mako robotic-assisted system with a pre-planned acetabular cup component implant position. The final operative report describes a final component placement of 40°. However, post-operative imaging shows a significantly lower angle along with measurable anterior-lateral overhang. I was not informed of this difference, provided with an explanation of its potential significance, or told why there was a discrepancy between the operative report and imaging findings. Medical literature indicates that precise component positioning is essential to reduce the risk of issues such as increased component wear, edge loading, unbalanced load distribution, instability, reduced range of motion, and iliopsoas impingement. Also, key surgical documentation--such as Mako robotic system planning and verification reports--has not been provided to me after repeated requests, leaving unanswered questions about how the final implant position was determined and why Dr. Delaney did not retain these records. A review of related medical records and correspondence also shows inconsistencies, which raised additional concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the medical documentation. Additional post-operative records do not show I was informed of any unplanned interoperative events, including drops in blood pressure, possible nerve or muscle-related complications, implant position differences, how these events may have been managed, or their possible future effects. In the months following my surgery, I received treatment from numerous other physicians regarding my condition and also corresponded with Dr. Delaney regarding the surgical process and results. However, my latest email to him was unanswered, and additional efforts to obtain medical records have required formal requests through legal channels in the court system. Since the surgery, I have experienced ongoing pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, instability, and loss of range of motion, and symptoms consistent with iliopsoas impingement in my left hip. An independent orthopedic doctor confirmed the position of the acetabular cup is causing the iliopsoas impingement, which can only be resolved through a muscle release or revision procedure. I also suffer from partial hip flexor nerve/muscle issues, and vision/hearing loss, which I have been informed by medical professionals will be permanent. These issues have had a significant impact on my daily life.

This review is about my most recent experience with him and his colleague, Dr. Eliot Foad. I am a rock climber and injured my left shoulder in December 2024. I saw him shortly after and recovered through the adjustment/treatment visits and rehab exercises he prescribed. However, I re-injured it in January 2026 and had been doing rehab exercises since then with little progress. I finally went back -- I live in San Francisco, so the commute is tough! -- two weeks ago, this time for pain in my lower back. It turned out I had been straining it through poor weightlifting form. He adjusted me, advised me on what to avoid while lifting, and I felt like a new person almost immediately (though the body does take a few days to fully recover). He also suggested a novel treatment called shockwave therapy for my shoulder and elbow, where I had developed tendinitis from climbing, along with a compression arm band for use when climbing or lifting. I completed the shockwave therapy on my shoulder and elbow with Dr. Foad, who is also highly knowledgeable and a genuine pleasure to talk to. A few days later, I felt as though I had a brand-new shoulder, which allowed me to start climbing two grades above my previous level, something I had avoided out of fear of further injury. My elbow is also feeling much better, and the band has been a great help. I highly recommend both Dr. Pedersen and Dr. Foad for any sports injuries or injuries in general -- you could not be in better hands!

Cohen has great bedside manner & it's just an overall nice person as is Dr. King. The office even has x-ray and MRI on site which is helpful. However, after a recent injury, I was referred to Dr. Kim. I don't know if this guy was having a bad day but he was rude, non responsive & left in the middle of my appointment, even though he was an hour late. He was so condescending during the appointment & off putting that his nurse had to apologize on his behalf. He just walked out of the room, as I was asking questions about the injury and never reappeared. My fiancé who attended even said there's no way that guy is operating you, if that's how he acts during an appointment. The challenge with the office staff is getting a response. There are a number of other reviews for the same location and majority are around gaps in response or complete lack of response. I ignored those comments and went back to what I trusted and now know they were justified. I don't know what happened to this practice, but do not go. There are other orthopedic surgeons in the Bay Area, who are great, care about follow up and the overall outcome for their patients. I wish Dr. Cohen and Dr. King would leave this office because there's no way it's getting any more of my business. Now, in the middle of an injury where I was getting treatment from this facility, I'm now having to go to a different orthopedic surgeon.

The mis-diagnosis was one thing but its not the issue that frustrated me. What I thought was unethical was that they asked me to download an app and follow the program for physical therapy. Months later I received a bill showing charges of over $200 for using the app for a month. No input, no feedback, nothing else from them. When I called and asked about the charges, they said they would look into it and get back to me. I never heard anything but got another bill so I called in again and was told this time that i was being billed for the app. When I explained that I had no idea that they would bill me for an app, they said it was disclosed that I would be billed for the diagnosis in the app. I'm sure there was some fine print but what seems questionable to me is that the there was no diagnosis or feedback. I was told if I didn't want to get charged I would have to delete the app, which I did. If you are asked to download an app to assist with your physical therapy, I wouldn't do it from this place. For the short period of time that I did try it, the app contained an amount of information that could have been handed out on a 1-page flyer. It was low tech, clunky, and didn't do much more than check-in so they could send a bill. I hope the few dollars was worth it for them.

I received no email or comms from my doctor, the management team nor was I given any guidance on next steps in switching doctors. This is unacceptable. I should have been proactively notified and should have been made aware of my options ASAP. I called and texted the office several times to speak to Dr. Gorman about my experience but did not receive a call back.

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.

Save your body, save your time, and save your money and go somewhere else…read more I paid out of network expecting timely orthopedic care; what I got was absolutely zero physical exam, a denied MRI, weeks of delay, and a threat to call 911 when I asked for accountability. 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
