    Came in today to check my left shoulder's MRI results. Many of my Arminian friends suggested I see Dr Samonian, due to his great reputation and abilities to treat Sports related injuries. Thank God I only have Calcium deposits and I was giving a shot in the Shoulder today to desolve the deposits and hopefully that would eliminate the pain and the discomfort in my left shoulder. I feel wonderful an hour later. But the overall experience with Dr Samonian and his Staff been a five stars. The reason I have it at 3 stars, because when I was sent to take the MRI , Dr Samonian staff should have recommended the open Tube MRI machine not the Little one for smaller size people . Otherwise all is good and I recommend Dr Samonian, Especially if you Rich and Famous . He is kind of a stuck up Doctor that rely on hos assistants to do most of the work he should be doing.

    Had a bad bicycle accident back around Christmas 2016 and has splintered the shoulder socket into the joint. I wasn't able to be scheduled until around August 1st 2017 (due to insurance issues; office had me scheduled for surgery within approximately 3 months after the paperwork and scans came through)! Needless to say, it was very limiting and often very painful to have to do things around the house! Did some research on Dr. Simonian's credentials and reviews from various clients after being referred and I knew I would be in good hands! When I first met Dr. Simonian, my first impression was that he was a very genuine, kind and caring person and had a vast knowledge of what was wrong. He seemed more than happy to take extra time and ensure my questions were all answered after each visit! Come the day of the surgery, he came out and talked to me as I was being prepped and made me feel a lot calmer and prepared for what was going on! Even looking through my discharge notes later, Dr Simonian and his staff made sure to include everything (pain meds, antibiotics, extra gauze, instructions, etc) before I made it home! Shortly after he surgery (after taking a week or two to adjust), I could definitely feel a difference even with the post-op pain. It felt so much better than before and it showed even more so in the following weeks! During the follow ups from post-operation, I mostly talked to his staff and everything they couldn't answer was given a response very quickly by phone! The times he was able to meet me face to face during the follow ups, he was still this compassionate and genuine person that truly seemed to care about his patients! For anyone that is nervous when they have to have surgery From Dr. Simonian; don't be! He's extremely talented at what he does! And I couldn't be happier!

    I liked seeing what was going on via these diagrams too. Very helpful!

    Dr Simonian and his staff are professional, polite, and explained everything perfectly. They were very when it came to me explaining my concerns. I was processed quickly and the issue was resolved. I appreciate the way the doctor and his PAs handle business. I don't like going to a doctors office where they talk forever about things I'm not a subject matter expert in. They gave me the information I needed and that was it, I really appreciated that aspect. Even outside of the office they were extremely kind and professional. On the day of my surgery they made sure everything was in order multiple multiple times and the follow up in post op was explained clearly by the doctor. He reviewed the photos that were taken during surgery and did so without making me feel inferior for not being a doctor. Not only would I highly recommend this office, but any more issues that this clinic can fix I will definitely be returning.

    Healing as expected! Small incisions from the ACL reconstruction surgery.

    Unethical & Illegal!!!! I don't know who to contact, but I…read morewas seen today at the Clovis location by appointment at 11am. I paid my copay, I was taken for X-rays then placed into a patient room with ANOTHER patient in the same room!! Then I was taken to a second room, where I noticed a patients information including date of birth and body part was exposed (their chart was open on the desktop computer)!!! AKA a HIPPA VIOLATION!! What kind of high end surgical clinic is this? That's unethical and illegal. Wow.

    The practice got bought out which is not surprising (Inspire Health Medical Group)…read more Oh boy here it comes. Review from 2022. Your pain is not their priority in office. I was referred to see a specialist who needlessly called to conduct in-house imaging that he didn't do much with (...is that just to charge me more). This guy has a god complex, assumes that others are supposed to care about his micro specialty areas or his academic/medical interests (based on his online profiles). It's very "pick me" "look at me". Why do doctors do this now? Where's the authentic care for patients. It's not anymore about genuinely wanting to help patients, see eye to eye with them, understand their pain, help quickly. I didn't feel like I was helped even though I was seen in a visit. It went nowhere. Are they just collecting my information to safeguard it and not help with any medical diagnosis? The front office staff is a separate complaint. Obtaining images or visit summaries from them was a nightmare. I remember being bounced back and forth between calls with different women in the front with really not a lot of work getting done on my behalf. They treated me as if it's my job to paperwork push, do all the legwork for document transfer. Earth to reception it's not the patient's job to perform administrative jobs and to perform many phone calls in order to advocate for themself. I don't know what ever happened to simply take note of what patients need and crossing off the list as they get done. Messages don't get passed between staff nor are a priority when we aren't around. The front staff fumbled in the handling of insurance clearance and other related things. I never got follow up and I never got help. They make it the patient's job to keep rescheduling and by this time our insurances fluctuate. Lack of continuation of care is a real issue here, and these Doctor's just refer patients to their Doctor friends in other specialties and muddy the water. We are coming for relief not to keep continually be referred somewhere else. You are getting paid to fix peoples problems now do your best to fix them while they are in your office! My patient responsibility was about $500+ for not getting the help I needed. If I recall... they drafted the bill with wrong cpt codes.. Dr Kollmorgen... try harder. Whoever runs it should hire better and more professional staff

Calls are rarely, returned! I had an epidural a couple of weeks ago, and had several unusual symptoms I had never experienced. I put THREE calls into his office regarding 3 unusual symptoms and got one call back handling only one of the symptoms. I called again at night so the medical assistant would call me first thing in the morning, saying I was still concerned about my symtpoms and wanting to see the doctor and NEVER got a call back! The medical assistant is the conduit between the patient and the doctor and his medical assistants is unprofessional and doesn't seem to care for Dr. Guinto's patients. I'm frustrated and disappointed.

    Update: I ended up moving forward with a procedure, only to have my follow up appointment canceled…read more They called me on a Saturday and said the doctor wouldn't be there. They rescheduled me for a week after the priorly scheduled appointment. Then they called and left me a voicemail canceling that appointment. I called the office back and they said the next appointment was months out and they'd have 'Zoe' call me. Well I never got rescheduled and never got ahold of anyone. Still no follow up appointment months later. Honestly this place is the WORST office I've ever been to. I give up. You can BET they are calling me to pay my bill though, so that's lovely. Bottom line is they push hundreds of people in and out of this place and money is all they care about. ----------------------------------------------- I saw Dr. Guinto who seemed genuine and listened to my concerns. At my first visit I had to arrive an hour early where I then waited almost two hours to be called back into the room. I then got my MRI. MRI department was wonderful. No complaints there. I had some issues trying to determine why this doctor suddenly said out of network when a week earlier it said he was in network (my insurance ended up solving the issue). The office staff was of ZERO help. They have been so rude when I have called in. Now I'm trying to schedule a follow up appointment, and they are over a month and a half out AND do not care about working around your schedule. As much as I appreciated Dr. Guinto, I'm going to try to find another doctor and go here as an absolute last resort. I have a M-F job and cannot spend 3-4 hours total waiting to be seen by a doctor. It's very difficult to even get the time off for a visit as Is.

    Absolutely love Dr. Baysal! He is our hero! Our story is becoming all too common these days. This…read moreis not the first time I had to be the healthcare advocate for our family. Why is it so hard to get the care you and your loved ones need? I took a leap of faith one night at 10:00pm as I lay in bed in shock that my Mom had been laying in a hospital bed waiting for a surgeon that would take her case and a bed at a hospital that would take her at all, because they had no beds. Here is our story... You know that feeling you get when you call a loved one that lives alone, and you know they have to be home, but they don't answer the phone. That is when that feeling starts. And you wait a few minutes to see if they call you back, but they don't.  So you call again.... and again... and again, but still no answer. That's the feeling! The one you hope you never get!  Well, I/we got it on Thursday, 5/4/23. Thank goodness our son called to ask where grandma was.  He then went over to see if she was OK, showing up just a couple minutes before us, and he found her on the floor with a broken leg! She had been there for 3 hours! I can not even imagine if she had laid there all night. Thank goodness we got to her and got her to the hospital so she could have the surgery that she desperately needed to repair her leg and relieve her pain.  I mean... That is how it should go. Right? NOPE!!!  Three days later and she is still laying in the same Hospital bed in pain, even with all the pain medication, waiting for a surgeon to accept her case and an available bed for her.  WHY YOU ASK? SaInt Agnes Surgeons determined that her case was too complex, so they sent her clinical Records over to CMC Fresno to see if they could take her.  They said NO because they are at capacity.  So, Saint Agnes sent her clinicals to UCSF to see if they could take her.  They said NO and referred her to CMC Fresno, who again said NO. So, Saint Agnes sent Mom's clinicals to Cedar Sinai in L.A. to see if they could take her case. This is not how things should go! Saturday 5/6/23 at 10:00pm this whole situation got the best of me so I figured I would do some research and look for an Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon from CMC that may have an e-mail address online that I could send a message to. I did find one that has 20+ years experience, so I sent him a message about mom in the hopes that he would take her case and find a bed for her at CMC.  He replied within 2 hours! We went back and forth several times with questions he had. Come to find out he has privileges at both CMC and SAMC. By 10:00am Sunday 5/7/23 this surgeon had called the doctor treating mom and had reviewed her X-Rays.  He said he can do the surgery and he can do it at Saint Agnes! He said he would go see mom that night and hoped to get an operating room for monday morning to do the surgery. Surgery was scheduled for 10:45am Monday morning then was changed at the last minute to Tuesday morning 5/9/23 at 7:30am. Ultimately, Mom had her leg repaired on 5/9/23. The surgeon was great! And she was able to stay at Saint Agnes!  Mom is doing great! She has been staying at a Skilled Nursing Facility to get up and walking strong again and will be discharged today. She laid in bed waiting too damn long for that surgery, which did not help with her overall strength, but she will get there. Also, she has to get past that feeling like she is going to fall again, which is tough. She is not happy with being knocked down a few pegs, especially after she had healed so well after her back surgery. I still can not understand why nobody at Saint Agnes reached out to local Orthopedic Trauma Surgeons to see if anyone was available to perform her surgery. She laid in that bed 5 nights waiting for surgery. But of course day 2 after surgery they want her shipped out before she can even stand up on her leg. There is something seriously wrong with our Healthcare system and medical professionals. Not ALL medical professionals, of course, but DAMN! IT SHOULDN'T BE SO HARD TO FIND THE GOOD ONES! So, from the bottom of my heart and every ounce of my Soul, I thank you, Dr. Baysal!

    It's all about business for this MD. I went to him for my knee problem and was prescribed physical…read moretherapy. I have been waiting for Dr. Baysal to do the paperwork for 2 weeks...so authorization (which takes about two weeks also) by my insurance can be started. My daughter called several times in his office. His staff has no idea when will he be able to complete his part, they just keep relaying the message to him every time my daughter makes a phone call. Office staff cannot give time line. He did not entertain us when we walk in in his office. He wants us to make another appointment to see him for the same reason we saw him the first time. So sad to have this poor quality of care in our system. I wouldn't want him to do my knee surgery if I need one in the future.
