I was suffering from a torn meniscus and was fortunate to have Dr. Shaun E. Chandran perform my knee surgery. At first, I was very hesitant to have surgery but Dr. Chandran took the time to answer all my questions and explain all the stages of my surgery. He was professional, thorough, and very caring. I recently went to see him for my follow-up appointment and am happy to report that my knee is healing perfectly and pleased to no longer be suffering. I highly recommend Dr. Shaun E. Chandran.

Our insurance referred us to this office because my daughter had a "buckle fracture." Was told these heal fast and usually a cast is not needed. When we were called back, the doc did not even come in yet, they just sent someone in to give her a cast. I said I wanted her to be looked at first and we were going for a brace instead. The doctor came in, seeming somewhat annoyed that I had questioned the cast. He still did not ask my 8 year old daughter one question about how it was feeling, did not even touch her arm. He still suggested a cast for conservative reasons, which I understand, but I still requested a brace. He explained he would order for her. As we were checking out I was handed a paper telling me when we needed to come in next (I wasn't asked if I was available). I said I couldn't make that appointment and was kind of insinuated that's all they had?? The doc said we could just have our x-rays sent there (which was nice) and his father would look at them. We never got approval for another xray in that time frame. I called her pediatrician and they got her an x-ray appointment next day and an appointment with children's hospital La in Torrance. At this point she is still wearing her same split from urgent care she got two weeks ago. We brought her x-rays to CHLA and omg night and day difference. The staff and doc were so nice and caring with her. She asked her how she was feeling, touched her arm in different spots and moved it asking how it felt. No pain. Then looked at x-ray and said "oh ya she definitely doesn't need a cast, a brace will do great. Asked her what color she wanted and offered a brace she could also wear in the pool since it's summer and she has had to miss some pool time. So accommodating and nice. Based on our experience would not recommend this office. read more

Wait a long to see the Dr. He not friendly and just slapped some tape really tight on my toes,which gave me an blister on the on the other toe.I fell I was wasting his time to look at my foot.. read more

My last three recent visits with Dr Chandran have been great. He's always friendly, but most important he is very knowledgeable in his surgery technique which aids in a full recovery. He's happy to see you, and gets right to the reason for your visit. Beginning in June and the two visits in October we agreed a total knee replacement is necessary. I wouldn't have anyone else do the surgery, knowing I will have a full and complete recovery. I would recommend Dr Chandran to anyone and have mentioned his name to all my friend. read more

I was amazed on how professional and timely Dr . Chandran was in providing treatment for my urgent medical condition. I ruptrued my right knee meniscus and thereby needed an urgent work-up and eventual repair. I can't believe it was so quick for the whole ordeal. So I had the injury Friday, and was on the operating table by Wednesday week after. Amazing. Mind you, I didn't have the best insurance but still his office staff worked on it promptly. Dr Chandran was also so different from the other doctors who have treated me. He is so courteous and respectful. He took his time in getting my history and performing his actual exam during my visits. I never felt rushed at any point in time when he was seeing me. I would definitely come back to him. I wish there were more doctors like him in the industry. read more

I have a broken radius and ulna and it needs surgery. My PCP and insurance company referred me here. When I called to schedule my appointment, which is somewhat urgent as you'll see from the attached photo, the office assistant Jasmine stated the billing code my insurance sent for referral was incorrect. I asked if I could at least book the appointment and I could get the code corrected in the meantime. She stated it is office policy to wait for the correct code and would not. The only difference between the billing code is the amount they could bill my insurance. Instead of $110 they can bill $210. Talk about petty. Now I am in pain even longer trying to get this corrected for this greedy office. I am going elsewhere. UPDATE: How ironic is it that Yelp chose to use my photo as the main photo. Just an update this surgeon refused service to fix my arm because of my honest interpretation of their methods read more

Shaun E Chandran, MD - Broken arm - Orthopedists Near Me - Torrance, California

The office is clean and the staff are professional ; Dr Chandran is caring and timely. Great surgeon & would recommend him to my mother!!

Dr Shaun Chandran was ok he was not so friendly and has no personality but overall a good doctor. The office staff on the other hand is rude and not very professional they don't care about you only what they can get out of your insurance. They charged me 60 dollars copay when they should have charged 10 because he is contracted with my insurance. They never called to apologize at all they also don't even do state disabilities forms online I had to drop the form off then pick the forms back up and then they want even mail them for you. I had to drive 13 miles just to pick the form back up just to mail them myself and yes!! I have a torn meniscus tear and on a crutch. They charged me 25 dollars too but I can go on and on get out while you can I'm still waiting after 4 weeks for authorization. read more

My mom had an appointment with his office in February of this year. She has PPO insurance. She had to pay out of pocket for the visit because they stated "we don't want to chase patients if insurance doesn't pay" she paid in full. Blue cross blue shield reimbursed dr chandran in March. It is now October. I have been calling since march looking for my reimbursement as the insurance company has always paid them. First the biller was on vacation, then in an accident, then it's third party, every time I call there is a different excuse. He has my moms money and her insurance companies money. Absolute criminal. Will look into insurance fraud and any other Avenue. It's absolutely absurd that he has been paid twice and my mom has not been reimbursed in 7 months. She is now getting a knee replacement with a doctor and an office that are not criminals or participating in insurance fraud read more

Stay away from Dr. Chandran. Unless you enjoy your pain and do not really want it to be fixed. He works for the insurance companies and will not do what is best for the patient. I have a torn tendon and the only thing he will ok is cortisone shots for inflammation. Looks like I will be paying for platelet rich plasma treatment myself because I care about me read more

The doctor treats you like your holding up his lunch hour. He's a complete jerk. And I don't say that likely. I wouldn't want him cutting on me. I've had several surgery's and dealt with several surgeons but this guy is total a-hole. His office in Hawthorne is a dirty congested dump. His office in Torrance is beautiful with his own X-ray machine and wall mounted television. Think about it. Get a second opinion and avoid this p.o.s. read more

I give no stars. I called for a second opinion, I have fantastic insurance and the doctor (per the receptionist) said no. flat out no because I already had surgery. I just wanted a second opinion. do no harm, do no help. thanks! read more

Horrible service was given to me at front desk Jessica is rude and seems to not want to be at work she's lazy the whole time I was sitting (1hr) with no help with pain and no assistance from staff I felt I was singled out as an minority btw they're slow so if your planning on coming here make new plans read more

I recently had a torn Achilles injury and Dr. Shaun Chandran was very helpful with describing every operation and outcome. He took his time to listen and gave the best answers he could. He made me feel comfortable with his knowledge. After the check up I needed surgery and he did his best to fit me into the schedule to get it done as soon as possible for me. He was able to get me a surgery date the week of the appointment because he wanted me to heal as fast as I can. He's quick, knowledgeable, and amazing at what he has done. read more

This doctor is honest and will give you a truthful opinion if you need or do not need surgery. He answered all my questions and I'm very appreciative that I saw him for a second opinion. read more

Dr. Chandran performed a knee replacement surgery on my mom about 2 months ago. He is a wonderful caring doctor. It has been one of the best experiences we've had with a doctor. Dr. Chandran has amazing bedside manners and is incredibly caring towards his patients making sure they have everything they need for a full and proper recovery. On top of being a wonderful surgeon he makes himself available after hours to reach him directly if you have any questions. My mom had an issue a couple days after surgery after business hours and I was able to reach him immediately and find out it was normal and we had nothing to worry about. My mom is very happy and comfortable with him and from speaking to him a couple times I am very happy with him too. I'm happy knowing my mother is in good hands!! THANK YOU DR. CHANDRAN!!!! read more

I had a fractured ankle when I was referred to Dr. Chandran. My experience overall has been extremely annoying . The receptionists have made numerous mistakes that have caused me to delay recovery as well as come in for appointments that are completely unnecessary and a waste of time . Dr. Chandran is an ok doctor from what I can tell since the only thing he has done for me is review my xrays . The staff at the front desk needs to be retrained or replaced . read more

Dr. Chandran performs miracles... Dr. Shaun Chandran is an extremely talented, caring, knowledgeable, skilled surgeon...I cannot ever accurately put into words the appreciation and gratitude I have for him for the complicated repair he did on my right leg. I had an extremely complicated break in my leg and where 2 other other surgeons said nothing could be done he performed a surgery that has made my leg almost brand new. He's kind caring considerate personable knowledgeable. I have been a Registered Nurse For over two decades and have experience as an orthopedic surgery as a pre-op, circulating, and PACU nurse and don't complement easily regarding these topics... I will attest without reservation that Dr. Chandran is one of THE BEST...he is the best I've encountered in my 21 years of healthcare experience...again...I cannot thank him enough and will never be able to repay him for the life he has given back to me. If you go anywhere else for your care you will NOT get the care that you deserve nor achieve the true healing potential that can be obtained for your issue by Dr. Chandran...he is a true DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH...GO TO Dr. Chandran...Thank You for reading...From A very grateful registered nurse happy to have her life back...PS Shout up to his Master Caster Rick! He is amazing as well!!!! A great team! Thank you! read more

I am writing this review for my mother, Dara. She has been suffering from frozen shoulder for several months.

Highly recommend! read more

My mom had all morning trying to schedule an appt and Cristal was super rude and not helpful. I had to call and schedule the appt for her and ask to be transferred to the manager and they just hung up the phone. I call again and spoke with Elaine the manager and complain about Cristal they both have the worst customer service. Very unprofessional the work customer service I have experienced. read more

Dr. Chandran is a great surgeon who takes a practical approach. He keeps you informed, has great patient manners and is the doctor you want for orthopedic issues Mike Hyler read more

Omg It took me 6 weeks to get someone to answer the phone . Every time I called I was put on hold for over an hour and then disconnected! I finally get a person on the phone (by the way they answered the phone with "hello") and make an appt for 3 weeks later. I didn't receive a confirmation phone call the day before my appt so I decided to call and confirm the day of, knowing their track record and guess what ... they didn't have me scheduled for any appt . Thank god I didn't drive all the way down there considering in traffic it would have taken me an hour to get there. STAY AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE ! Most inefficient, unprofessional ..., ridiculous !!! Don't be fooled by th 1 Star I would give a negative 100% if I could read more

I visited Dr Chandra's office back in October, my overall experience was okay. My complaint and 2 star rating falls on the receptionist whom name I don't know female receptionist and the daley of my owed money. Back in October when I visited the office I was charged $100 although I have 100% medical coverage. I was told that when the bill was closed and the insurance paid if owed they would reimburse me. Here I am 4 months later. I needed a copy of my visit so I called and the receptionist was helpful until I mention the $100....she cut me off and told me someone was going to check on it and call me back. I went to the office to get my paper and again when I mentioned the money she bacame upset and cuts me off by saying: "I told you already she was going to call you!" I was shocked and told her to let me finish speaking because I was not done talking. Dr Chandra Sr came out of his office and I complained to him. He asked me to cone in to talk to him. I was very upset so I left. Literally 2 minutes later someone from his office calls me back to hand me my reimbursement. Why did it take 4 months and me having to go through unnecessary drama....beats me but makes me curious of how many more people are still waiting to get "reimbursed" and also how great this receptionist must be to get away with treating patients with this kind of rudeness. Inconceivable. read more

Shaun E Chandran, MD - Orthopedists Near Me - Torrance, California

Dr Shawn chandron was great but his office staff was so horrible very roud not friendly at all I will never go to that office ever again due to his staff being rude and unprofessional it's uncalled for and read more

My 96-year-old mother broke her hip and had to have surgery, Dr Chandran was the assigned doctor. We will never use him again, or refer him. He probably was fine as the surgeon, but completely lacks any form of bedside manners whatsoever. In the follow up appointment, he was completely uninterested in her or how she was doing or recovering. He didn't even look at her face, all he wanted to see was the incision. He was done with her in 9 seconds, it was unbelievable. I'd say this was the worst professional doctor experience I've had. Thumbs down! read more

Dr Shaun E Chandran, MD is the best, most caring, professional Ortho in town. He is very caring and is truly concerned about you and your problem. He listens to your issue and maps out a plan for you to get better. I walked in there with pain in my elbow and he was 15 minutes late for my appointment (not bad for a doctors office). When he came in he apologized up and down for being late and explained the whole deal about their phones being down and he was so worried that his patients would be upset. After that he gave me a cortisone shot in my elbow that relieved my pain immediately. Every time I've been to see him he always give me the game plan and gives me a cortisone shot if I request it. He is a stand up guy and probably the best Ortho in town. My wife goes to him for her wrist and she receives the same professional treatment as I do. I highly recommend Dr. Shaun E Chandran to anyone looking for the best Ortho in town Tim G read more

Dr. Chandran is a wonderful surgeon! 3 weeks ago I had ACL surgery. His way of thinking and recovering is just great! He makes sure you're healing properly, and if you Have questions, he'll answer them and help you understand! So far my recovery process has been going good, and I am following all procedures. He truly cares for his patients and bettering them. I am very happy with my knee surgery and I know I am in good hands under his care! Thank you so much Dr. Shaun Chandran!! I am really appreciative and grateful! And to everyone who has seen this doctor, or have been to his offices, please be patient with his staff. His staff is trying their best and truly want to help everyone out. Being understaffed is hard, but that does not determine whether or not he is a great doctor/surgeon! I know he is a great surgeon! read more

The Beyond Rude Receptionist placed me on hold after she said i have one person ahead of you and yet I sit here on hold for One hour and 37 minutes. Yes, you read it right!!!!!!!!! One hour and 37 minutes. What The HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, the receptionist I'm sure is totally Aware and does NOT give A Dam, so I'm sure that the Doctor doesn't give a Dam either!!!!!!!!!! I'm calling for a elderly relative and this is UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is it sooooooo hard to hire a professional receptionist who represents your company? It cant be that difficult. read more

My visit with Dr. Shaun Chandran was very positive and looking forward to getting the help I need with my shoulder pain..

Not sure if I have much confidence in the doctor or his staff. The doctor seems very knowledgeable and was able to quickly determine what the problem with my knee was, but he spent all of 2 seconds with me. Also I just reviewed my medical record from my first visit in which they entered vital signs...they didn't take my vitals while I was there. The information entered for my height and weight is completely incorrect. They indicated that I'm 56 inches...which converts to 4 foot 8 inches...I'm 5 foot 6. They also gave me 10 extra lbs and stated that my blood pressure was 130/70 (it's never been that high in my entire life). Not exactly how you instill confidence in a new patient. read more

He talks down to people. If you are over 60 he explains every problem with" that comes with age" He never offered any ideas for my treatment so I had to tell him what we should do and he agreed. GEEZ! As he was looking at my shoulder my other arm with a major scar was exposed and he never inquired as to the nature of this surgery or injury. When he left the room he did not say if he was coming back or not, he didn't. The girl at the front desk had to tell me he was finished with me. However, I did hear him in the hallway trying to figure out why his cell phone wasn't working properly. Hope he got that worked out. read more

Dr. Chandran saw my daughter for lower back pain. He took X-rays right there and was able to provide information on what to do next. He took plenty of time with her, not the normal drive-by medicine practiced by so many. Finally, he saw us on time which is always a plus. read more

He went the extra mile to get me healthy. read more

Dr. Chandran is the best. Not only is he willing to listen to your concerns and provide competent care, but he goes above and beyond what I expect a doctor to provide. His staff is always helpful and kind. I can't say enough good things about him . Plus I like hearing his stories of crazy stuff that happens to him. read more

Just went to that office had the worst experience of my life ,had an appointment schedule for 10:15 am set by their answering service, got there Secretary was basically calling me a liar ! that I'm not on schedule and can't be seen today and further went on to say I had no insurance got answering service and Ins to verify that I do have insurance and was covered and did have an appointment scheduled then they acted like oh it's late Dr has to go knowing that they fucked up with the schedule all the while acting very racist . Dr Chandrin is a fantastic Dr but your front desk will make him loose patients and business with their unprofessional service especially the Secretary with the salt and pepper hair you suck and you're racist no-one needs to be treated like shit at the time of injury if you don't like your job just quit! Pls regain control over your front desk so people can be treated like people Dr Chandrin!!! You're one of L.A.'s finest don't let these rude Secretary ruin your work place read more
