    January of this year I had an accident and damaged my left knee. I called Community Orthopedic…read moreMedical Group to have my knee looked at. I explained it was pretty bad and requested an appointment ASAP.Two days later I got an appointment with Dr. Kent Marangi. His office is located in a group of commercial buildings off of Crown Valley Pkwy. near Mission Hospital. There is plenty of parking and office staff gave specific directions to help locate their office. There are a number of specialist doctors, so the large waiting room is often busy. One of Dr. Marangi's assistants reviewed my information and I was taken to get X-Rays of my knee. Later, Dr. Marangi came in and examined me. He informed me that I needed an MRI to determine exactly what was damaged because my knee was seriously injured. There is an imaging center located in a separate building for an MRI. I was also given a prescription for Physical Therapy. I made a follow-up appt.with Dr. Marangi to go over the MRI results which showed that I had ruptured my ACL and torn my meniscus. Throughout the process Dr. Marangi explained my options and what to expect with each option. He did not push me into any specific option. Dr. Marangi is very professional and personable. After considering my options, I decided to have Dr. Marangi operate on my knee to replace the ACL and repair my meniscus. The surgical center for this orthopedic group is conveniently located in the same commercial center. Dr. Marangi's staff (Virginia: scheduling and Jennifer: Physicians Asst.) were amazing. They scheduled me, fitted me for a brace and ordered pre-op tests for the surgery. I had the surgery on April 10th. Dr. Marangi and his team took great care of me and it's amazing how fast I am healing. I have been back twice for follow up appts. His office staff are polite, professional and knowledgable. They are great at making sure everything post surgery is progressing normally. I have been able to walk with my brace (locked) and crutches since day one. I have not had significant pain (I stayed ahead of pain) and within days I was only on OTC pain and inflammation meds. I started Physical Therapy 10 days after my surgery and I am on the road to recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Marangi.

    I was a patient in 2024 for repair of a broken ankle. The medical care was fine. Unfortunately, the…read moreincompetence of the billing department makes it impossible to recommend this office. I paid my co-pay at the time of surgery. Everything else was submitted to insurance and paid in a timely manner. However, I subsequently received a follow-on invoice from the billing department OVER EIGHTEEN MONTHS from the date of service. Of course this is infuriating and unacceptable by any standard of fair business conduct. I never received any reasonable explanation for the billing delay. Stay far away from this office if you have any expectation of fair financial dealing. The follow-on invoice was for a relatively nominal amount; makes it look like this office is just testing what additional income they can generate from former patients, many of whom will likely will settle these follow-on invoices just to avoid hassle.

    At 55, I was very hesitant to move forward with an L4-5 level fusion, laminectomy, and…read moredecompression surgery for my disc herniation, pinched nerves, and spondylolisthesis--but the pain had become unbearable. Choosing Dr. Burdi was one of the best decisions I made. He is a highly knowledgeable and skilled orthopedic surgeon, and I trusted him from the start. What I didn't fully expect was how challenging the first three weeks of recovery would be. It was tough, but I also understood that this wasn't going to be an easy process. Healing takes time, patience, and commitment. Now, three months post-surgery, I can honestly say I feel pretty good. The pain is completely gone--I actually felt relief right from the beginning. Now it's more about healing from the surgery itself and staying consistent with PT. My advice to anyone considering this surgery: be patient and follow your doctor's instructions closely and lots of ice! Recovery is a journey. While you can do quite a bit after three months, it's important to remember that full healing can take six months to a year, especially when it comes to avoiding bending, twisting, or lifting heavy items. I'm so grateful to Dr. Burdi and for his skills. While nerve pain in the beginning is difficult to manage , I had no nerve damage! After 3 weeks the sciatica pain feeling went fully away! His staff is wonderful too. Pat and Taylor!! They do all the behind the scenes!!

As a result of the compressed discs I had sciatica in my right leg so bad I could not walk more than 10 yards without having to sit down. The procedure took 8 1/2 hours to complete. Following surgery I was up walking shortly after waking up. Within 6 weeks following surgery I was traveling to Europe and walking 5-7 miles per day on uneven pavement. The sciatica was completely gone. After 8 weeks I was totally pain free. I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Burdi if you are having back pain. Dr. Burdi only does surgery if it is necessary.

On Friday night my pain started around midnight before I call 911 my pain was gone. It started again and I was crawling on my bed and smashing my head on my bed and just kept screaming none stop. So I was hospitalized in emergency room and they set up my soonest surgery on Monday October 13TH, 2025 and I went to surgery room on 05:00 pm. My surgeon doctor was DR. James B. Chen did operation and afterward visited me and told me it was 100% successful and since then I'm doing great and now I'm having my left knee surgery and then my right shoulder with him too.

He's performed multiple additional surgeries on my ankle including a rebuild of the original replacement. His skill and demeanor is excellent and I have referred several other people to him and they've all been equally impressed with Dr Tocci. If you are having any ankle problems, Dr Tocci is definitely one of the best in the country.

    ​I am writing this to encourage anyone considering surgery here to strongly consider getting a…read moresecond opinion, as my experience felt more like a sales pitch than a thorough clinical evaluation. ​Clinical Findings: During my initial visit, the Physician Assistant indicated that my symptoms were very likely hamstring-related and that a meniscal cause was very unlikely. Notably, my meniscal tests during the physical exam were negative. ​However, during the follow-up, the surgeon focused completely on a horizontal meniscal tear identified on the MRI--a finding that is usually degenerative and often incidental or asymptomatic in nature. ​Omitted Information: Other relevant MRI findings were not disclosed. After requesting a copy of the MRI report myself, I learned there was also a semimembranosus (hamstring) tendon tear. This issue is not treated surgically, and it aligned perfectly with the PA's initial clinical assessment. ​This lack of disclosure regarding alternative explanations left me feeling that the focus was more on scheduling a procedure than on fully exploring the correct diagnosis. I would strongly encourage others to review their imaging reports personally and obtain a second opinion before proceeding with surgery here
