The next day, Dr. Masem's office called to schedule an appointment and the earliest appointment was four weeks out. Arriving 15 minutes early as requested, I checked in and filled out some standard new patient forms and signed some consent forms. The office has a waiting room with about 15 seats and four seats outside the office by the elevators. After a short wait, an assistant called into the office and to an examination room. He asked the purpose of my visit and I showed him my shoulder. A little later he too me to room to have three x-rays taken of my shoulder and I returned to the exam room. Dr. Masem came into the room with an assistant, who was documenting the examination and notes from the doctor. The doctor looked at my shoulder and the bump and asked if I had pain, numbness, activity restriction, which I said no and that I had no restriction in motion. He then performed some strength tests on my left arm. Then he reviewed and interpreted the x-rays and that I had sustained a shoulder separation, which I think was from a fall on a rainy day. He said it had healed and the bump is scar tissue or bursa. He discussed the treatment options and since I had no pain and restriction of motion with normal strength, he recommended nothing be done at this time. He said I should make a return visit if symptoms develops/worsens. Overall, it was a great visit and examination by Dr. Masem. He was kind and professional in his examination of my shoulder and took his time to explain the bump and the cause from the viewing of the x-rays. The office staff was friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend Dr. Masem for issues with your hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder.

This practice is discharge-happy…read more I came in for a pinky fracture in 2021. Went through about 6 sessions of therapy. My range of motion never returned back to normal despite the false reassurance by Dr. Stein. The therapists requested my insurance for more therapy sessions so they could try something different to see if they could get my full range of motion back. Even though my insurance approved the sessions, Jenn the PA ended up canceling my sessions being adamant saying I didn't need them. Then she unprofessionally kept arguing with me and said there's nothing else they would be willing to do to remedy the situation. I left a very frustrating voicemail for her asking why they would treat me like that. Not only did she not reply, but a week later, I received a discharge letter in the mail. Fast forward to this week, I had another injury to my hand. Knowing I have limited transportation and access to another hand clinic , I tried calling EB Hand again. I explained the discharge history to the receptionist, but she told me there was no record of me being discharged on file. So then I sent my referral to them and proceeded to book the appointment. I get three hasty call attempts maybe an hour later basically telling me they dug up files from 5 years ago saying I was discharged from their practice. I would avoid this practice like the plague. They mostly deal with Worker's Comp patients, and all they want to do is collect money from your insurance. Whether or not you experience a full recovery or they live up to their treatment promises is of absolutely NO PRIORITY to them. Beware! Zero stars for the medical staff. The one star is for Mike and Joe, the therapists, who were always great to me.

He is very knowledgeable and thorougly discussed both surgical and non-surgical options, offering his honest recommendation based on his expertise, which I really appreciated. He truly exemplifies Sutter's core mission: "Caring for our patients first, and our people always." Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Nayar to anyone seeking excellent orthropedic care.

I went to see Dr. Nayar a few months ago for trigger finger and had a positive experience. He was friendly, open, caring, and helpful. I went back this past week for a different injury to my arm - an injury I suffered from a car accident just over a month prior, and for some other ailments in my hand and hip that had been ongoing long before the accident. The man that entered the room was a completely different person than the one I had seen previously. He was 30 minutes late, complaining about previously late patients and patients who had more questions that he had time for. He was very unfriendly, curt, showed absolutely no affect in either his facial expressions or tone of voice, and was argumentative with me. He cut me off continuously, and was so rude, I was stunned. In addition, he tried to psychoanalyze me, telling me I seemed depressed and highly anxious. When I told him I was not anxious and was, in fact, a joyful person, he proceeded to tell me that joyful people can easily sink into depression when traumatized and clearly I was traumatized by the car accident. I was not. I was, in fact injured with an MRI showing that I had a torn rotator cuff. He then told me it was not possible that I had torn my rotator cuff in the car accident, although the pain came on after the accident. It was all completely bizarre! I'm glad my husband was in the room with me to witness all of this and to reinforce that what I was experiencing was not my imagination. We were both shocked. I would recommend that you absolutely NOT use him as your doctor.

Not only did he sit me down to discuss whether I would want a ceramic or a titanium replacement, he discussed with me and my advocate the relative merits of each. He treated me with respect, and he and his partner worked for several hours on my hip replacement, also checking in with me every day I was in the hospital recuperating. He listened to my worries about pain medications and helped me taper down safely and at a speed that worked with my CFS/FMS, a difficult balancing act on both our ends. However his staff isn't always great with respect.

He listened to my complaints and descriptions of physical issues. He patiently showed me what was going on with my body, and laid out progressive treatment options clearly. He was conservative in treatment, willing to give the least invasive treatments time to work before moving on to the next step. The staff is quite helpful too, as long as you don't have a billing question. The bad: Dr. Prinia's billing is handled by a third party called J.T Howe & Associates. This company is impressively bad at the one service they provide: billing. I'm still waiting on bills for service I had performed 5 months ago. When bills do come, they lack claim numbers and procedure codes. Service dates are incorrect, and payment breakdown is unclear. It is nearly impossible to reconcile their bill against an insurance claim. You'll have to call the J.T. Howe representative for Dr. Pirnia for information, and while he's helpful once you get him on the phone, he's hard to get a hold of. Lastly, their bill comes with an envelope and an address to send a check to. No website, no credit card option, no information on how to use an HSA debit card, or any modern payment scheme. Ultimately my physical issue is healing and I can thank Dr. Prinia for helping that process, but the billing process has brought its own variety of pain!

On the way out, I asked to pay, and I was told that I would be billed "later." Some time later, I received a "final notice" for a bill for $30. When I called in to ask what the hell was going on, the front office told me that they had made the decision to "terminate me as a client" for non-payment.

When she had difficulty traveling to the office, he made made house calls. He is very calming and a great listener. I wish other doctors and hospitals tried to be just a little bit like him. Professional. Punctual. Compassionate.
