He kindly helped us remotely, walking us through the foreign doctor's recommendations and explaining our options before we made any decisions. Once we were back in the U.S., he referred us to a specialist, but because we really wanted his input, he took the time over several visits to review the X-rays, go over the other doctors' recommendations, and share his own expert opinion. Everyone in the office is friendly and efficient, and Dr. Snibbe himself is not only an expert in his field but also straightforward, reassuring, and compassionate toward both a scared patient and a concerned mom. Highly recommend!

A year ago, Dr. Rajaee did my hip replacement surgery. The surgery was a game-changer for me. For…read morefive years before my surgery I was in almost constant pain and could barely work out or walk my dogs. It was a struggle getting in and out of my car. I was very nervous before the surgery, but Dr. Rajaee and his team made me feel very confident about undergoing the procedure and well taken care of. Post surgery, Dan, the amazing PA always responded to all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. The detailed medication schedules and the other tools Dan provided took away any post surgery anxiety I had. I am SO glad I decided to have the surgery and I'm SO glad I had Dr. Rajaee as my surgeon. Highly recommend! I only wish I had done this five years earlier.

I went to see Dr. Ahdoot for pain in my right hip. It started as a snapping and popping sensation,…read morethen gradually progressed to occasional pain with simple activities like walking or getting out of a chair or car, along with general stiffness. I am very active, so I tried to push through it with physical therapy, chiropractic care, and lots of stretching. These helped for a short time, although I was still physically strong, the pain persisted and continued to worsen. I had never had surgery before, so I was nervous and hesitant to go under the knife. I made simple lifestyle adjustments--limiting certain activities, using seat cushions, and modifying how I moved--but it wasn't enough. The final straw was when I was shopping with my daughter and was in excruciating pain just from walking. That's when I decided it was time. Dr. Ahdoot was quick to get me scheduled for surgery. He and his team helped me navigate insurance and guided me through all the steps needed to prepare. On the day of surgery, the DISC Center in Marina del Rey was phenomenal. They immediately helped put me at ease. Since this was my first surgery, I was very anxious. I had some difficulty fully waking up from anesthesia and developed nausea, but the nurses were wonderful--keeping me comfortable and helping me get moving. I was walking within hours after surgery (with a walker, of course). Within three days, I no longer needed the walker, and aside from mild surgical pain and some muscle stiffness, I already felt significantly better. I am 52 and initially thought this was just a pulled muscle or bursitis because I am otherwise healthy. I was hesitant and skeptical that I needed surgery, but after dealing with the pain for nearly three years, I am so glad I went through with it. Eight weeks after the surgery, my endurance is quickly improving, I am moving without pain and have no restrictions in movement. I had a minimally invasive total hip replacement using the anterior approach. For an additional cost, I opted for a prosthetic customized to my body structure. This allowed the surgeon to avoid cutting any ligaments or tendons, which is crucial for recovery and long-term stability. My incision is about three inches long and healing quickly. I am also a Type 1 diabetic, and we typically heal more slowly and can have more complications. I'm happy to say I am healing very well and have had no issues related to my diabetes. During surgery, I was even able to keep my insulin pump and CGM attached. The anesthesiologist monitored my blood sugar throughout the procedure, which allowed me to stay on my routine and maintain good control before, during, and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Ahdoot. He has a calm, steady temperament that immediately puts you at ease. He is confident in his skills, patient, and never made me feel pressured. I was extremely hesitant about surgery, but he simply educated me and presented the facts of my situation. He told me that when I was ready, I would know--and he was right.

Couldn't leave zero stars or I would! This was one of the worst medical experiences of my life. Dr…read more Eli Ahdoot performed a right knee arthroscopy on me in June 2025. The entire surgery from skin to skin (from the time he cut me to the time he stitched me up) only took only 13 MINUTES (Let that sink in) most surgeries like mine last 45 minutes!!! He documented and told me that my ACL was intact. That was completely A LIE. Months later after constantly complaining I couldn't walk I had a second opinion, another surgeon discovered my ACL was torn and had recoiled into a stump. He called it an obvious finding that should never have been missed (It was a softball thing to miss was the exact words). The surgery was stopped since my ACL was destroyed and I needed a cadaver ACL placed in my knee by allograft! After surgery, there was zero proper follow-up. Physical therapy was severely delayed. I was cleared to return to heavy physical work far too soon while still in significant pain and swelling. This completely derailed my recovery. I went from trying to stay mobile to becoming wheelchair and scooter dependent, with a locked knee, severe muscle atrophy, nerve damage, and constant pain. My quality of life has been destroyed. Do not go to Dr. Ahdoot. He is rushed, dismissive, and provides substandard care. I would never recommend him. He doesn't even talk with his patients...you only see his PA's!

He never once pushed me toward surgery. He respected my desire to try every non-operative option first and walked alongside me through that entire year. When the time came, I felt fully informed, supported, and confident in the decision. Dr. Kabaei took the time to educate me, answer every questions thoroughly, and truly listen to my concerns. His professionalism is matched by genuine kindness -- something that makes all the difference when you're the patient. My outcome has been incredible. I was walking the same day as surgery, had minimal pain, and achieved full range of motion by week two. Even more importantly, I'm getting back to the active life that matters so much to me. As both a healthcare professional and a patient, I can confidently say Dr. Kabaei delivers exceptional surgical skill combined with compassion and integrity. I would trust him again without hesitation.His team was also wonderful , completely necessary forms for work and answering questions in a timely fashion. I travelled 6 hours for this team !

After my last appointment with Dr. Hannon, I realized I am done with him…read more He takes a conservative approach, which I appreciate. He often starts with some anti-inflammatories and doesn't recommend surgery unless you're old and really need it. However, he also doesn't believe in any alternative therapies like prolotherapy. When I explained that it changed my life for a disc problem I was having. He says he doesn't know much about it. He also said there's nothing to do about shoulder cartilage (arthritis). Since he doesn't seem to believe in prolotherapy, I'm sure he doesn't believe in any of the procedures being done to restore cartilage. He also wants to leave the room about 5 to 7 minutes in and you definitely feel rushed. Any recently my husband came in for extreme shoulder pain and he put him on a dose pak for a week, which did not help at all... Another doctor did an MRI and discovered significant tears. I'm sure he is a competent surgeon but.he seems to only wants to do NSAIDS or surgery. Nothing in between. And your visit feels extremely rushed., I will not be going back to Dr. Hannon.

Even went back to fitness training (scaled and modified ofc). I was recommended to Dr. Guanche by my other orthopedic surgeon, Dr Trentacosta. She's incredible as well but her specialty is with knee injuries, not shoulder. After my shoulder injury, I tried extensive physical therapy. PT went on for 6 months, but unfortunately the pain was still there. Per my doctor, an injury like mine needed surgery, it won't heal otherwise. I didn't want the tears to get worse, so I looked into getting surgery. I was hesitant at first, but Dr. Guanche quickly calmed my nerves and discussed all my worries away. Fast forward 5 months after I had my first meeting with Dr Guanche, I'm now post op and able to do more. Slowly but surely, I'm getting more range of motion back day by day.
