Patient Testimonials

Dr Alexander recently performed my back surgery as well as my husbands back surgery five years ago. I had crushed disks and my back would pop out at least 3-4 times a year. When it would happen I would be down for at least a week. I had the same problem as Tiger Woods. We talked over the surgery in detail and post recovery time, Dr and his team explained everything, made all the arraignments with the hospital, labs, and insurance authorizations. I felt completely at easy with the procedure. The first few days after surgery were tough but I was able to manage my pain with only Tylenol. Its been 6 months since my surgery and I would hands down do it all over again. My quality of life has dramatically improved and I'm not on any pain medications. Dr Alexander is an excellent surgeon, his PA Helgi is awesome, always there to answer any questions we had. The entire team is top notch!

I highly recommend Dr. Alexander. My 85 year old father in August 2020 had major spinal surgery. Dr. Alexander met with a team that included other surgeons to discuss my father’s case and options. The team moved forward on recommending surgery. Prior to surgery my dad was in severe pain and could only walk with assistance. After the five hour surgery dad was hospitalized for three days. Dad noticed pain improvement by the 4th day. He said, he no longer felt the pain from pre surgery but felt pain from the surgery. Despite his age father was diligent with the exercises the physical therapist assigned him to do not missing any. At 6 weeks dad was pain free and walking without assistance. Now dad continues to be the avid walker he was before...walking about 2 1/2 miles per day (in segments). Dr. Alexander is an amazing surgeon. I pray God keeps him safe and continues to guide him throughout his career.

I was very concern I had to have an Anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion at C5-C6 and at C7. I met with Dr Gerald Alexander, he explained the surgery in layman’s terms, I had pain in my left arm. I had the surgery about two months ago, no more pain in the left arm, surgery went very well, I’m glad I got the surgery. I highly recommend Dr Alexander for the surgery.

For many years I’ve suffered with osteoporosis & arthritis in my lower back. I was sooo frightened of back surgery that I let it come to a point of well, insufferable pain. When I had no other choice but surgery, I went back to Dr. Alexander & long story short, had the surgery he initially suggested to me 4 years prior. Now, 2 months out, all I can say is Why did I wait so long!! He & his staff (who are awesome!) guided me thru the pre surgery procedure, which wasn’t nearly as awful as in my mind, every step of the way & answered all my questions with such grace & professionalism. I won’t lie & say it was easy, but overall I’m so happy I did it. I now walk, sit, sleep with very minimal discomfort. I thought that would never happen, but it did!! Thank you Dr. Alexander & staff, bless you all✨

What anyone would want when choosing a surgeon, especially when needing something as critical as implanting several chunks of titanium in one's neck after a car wreck... is someone with perfect eye contact, who is calm, and unrushed. Helge and the rest of his staff have the same demeanor, they are all personable and professional, and give me all the reassurance I need.

Six months post-surgery, I feel well on my way to recovery.

Thank you all.

I’m 25 years and I feel like I got my life back. I had a ruptured disc in between my L5-S1. My leg would go numb whenever I would walk. I have to lay/sleep on the ground. After my surgery with Dr. Alexander I was able to walk confidently after a couple days. After a couple weeks I was able walk the dog and walk normal. After 1 month I feel as though I never had any back issues at all. Dr.Alexander and his staff were always accommodating and professional and I’m so glad I found them.

I rarely feel the desire to post ratings - yet, I feel compelled to place the highest rating possible towards Dr Alexander, his assistant Hoagie, Clarissa, Ivonne and his choice in an anesthesiologist. His entire team delivered amazing results from the very first consult to the aftercare of my surgery... If 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Is the top rating I definitely give all 5 stars! Thank you for a great job repairing my neck! Thank you for developing your skills - your an amazing surgeon. Thank you for creating such a fantastic team!

Dr. Alexander was very quick to identify the source of pain. His consultations were very easy to understand, and helped me a lot in understanding my case. Ultimately, the experience was overall very successful. After several weeks of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-ups, I am happy to say that I am pain-free. It is nice to be back to my usual self again thanks to Dr. Alexander!

Just finished the last of my lumbar and cervical appointments. A truly transformational experience. The Dr., his service, his staff, all were well worth the cost. The pain that had been nagging at my neck and back for 10 years was significantly diminished. If there is a great neck and spine surgeon in the Irvine area, it is Dr. Alexander. Thank you...

I was highly concerned about my aunt Mahin K's severe nerve damage "Neuropathy" on her neck which had caused excruciating pain in her neck, and her right arm. I discovered Dr. Gerald Alexander online and had noticed many excellent reviews on his background with many positive Five Star ratings. However, I contacted my aunt and recommended Dr. Gerlad Alexander for the job and in order to perform the surgery. Today, my aunt called me and thanked me for my recommendations, and she said she is very pleased with the outcome of her surgery with Dr. G. Alexander, and she requested that I should place her Five Star ratings online.

My experience with Dr. Alexander and his staff was fantastic. I'm 3 months removed from my surgery and feel great. The staff was attentive and responsive and my procedure went about as smooth as possible. Four of my friends have had a great experience with Dr. Alexander as well. I feel very blessed to have found him! I had a bulging disc and a herniated disc (L5, S1) and would highly recommend anyone going through the same to schedule a consult with Dr. Alexander.

I had had my 1st back surgery for scoliosis at 16; fused 4 vertebrae. I've always had back pain and was hunched over. I didn't realize I was learning forward because of the side-view of my spine. Dr. Alexander fused the 2 vertebra below my initial surgery w/ an angled piece. I was very nervous about a 2nd surgery because of the results from my first, but I am so glad I had it. My posture is much better, and I actually gained an inch (I was 5'4" and am now 5'5"). My back is strong. He's amazing!

Dr. Alexander performed a successful Microdiscectomy on my L5-S1 approximately 6 weeks ago. I suffered from Sciatica on my R-Side for about 6 months and was bedridden towards the end. I knew I needed surgery. I had consults with 2 other surgeons before I met with Dr. Alexander. Three of our friends have had the same surgery with Dr. Alexander, and all of their surgeries were successful. I am 6 wks out and feel like I have my life back. Many thanks to Dr. A's Staff & Helge!

Dr. Alexander always took his time with me and explained everything he was going to do, during and after the surgery. And he's always so nice. I recently had neck surgery and am feeling great. And had back surgery about 6 years ago as well. Helge is great too. He is always so helpful and understanding. Even if you've asked the same question more than a couple times. I would totally recommend Dr. Alexander and his staff. They're all great. Thanks!!

I had arm pain and headaches for years, tried Chiropractic, injections, everything. Dr. Alexander showed me my MRI, explained my problem, and took the bad disc out of my neck with a small one hour surgery. I went home the same day. I'm back to tennis, skiing, he gave me my life back. His office is sometimes busy, but it's well worth the wait. Great guy.

I had a microsurgery and went home the same day. My horrible leg pain was GONE!!the next day. Dr. Alexander's office is sometimes quite busy, but it is worth the wait to see him. He gave me my life back. Friendly staff, caring people. Highly recommend.

I had a severe case of sciatica pain (8-9) that wouldn't go away. I had tried everything to help my pain go away to no avail. I did my research on spine surgeons and chose Dr. Alexander. The office staff (Clarissa, and Ivonne) went out of their way to assist me from appointments to acquiring clearance from insurance companies. Dr. Alexander's PA Helge was easy to deal with and very knowledgeable which made me feel at ease. My back surgery (outpatient) was on a Tuesday and I was up and walking the next day. It's now 6 weeks post-op and I feel great with no more pain. I highly recommend Dr. Alexander.

Source:

Dr. Alexander literally saved my life and gave me a second chance. I would never trust anyone else in the world to do back surgery and having said that I recommended him to do my mothers back surgery. Both were 100% successful. If you're looking for a Neuro Spine Surgeon, Dr. Alexander is world class. His PA Shelby and Clarissa along with the rest of the staff are first class. Look no further than Dr. Alexander.

Suffered from compressed discs and shooting nerve pain down legs. After trying physical therapy and one year of back injections, the end result was to have disc replacement and fusion surgery by Dr. Alexander. The surgery went extremely well and my nerve pain vanished The day of the surgery. I'm six weeks postop I'm feeling great, just building up strength again. I would highly recommend Dr. Alexander if you experience similar problems.

I am so very grateful for Dr. Alexander and his staff. I was so scared to get back surgery, however, I am so happy that I did. I am blessed that everything went well thanks to this Dr. And his amazing staff. They all made me feel comfortable and helped me through my fears. Thank you Dr. God continue to bless and empower you in everything you do..Grateful Heart

After 3 prior spine surgeries, I was still in dire need of medical intervention when I was referred to Dr. Alexander for surgery. I can't say enough good things about their entire practice from Clarissa, Shelby and Yvonne to Dr. Alexander himself. They work so hard and overtime to get things done right and I'm so grateful they were able to help me get the medical help I needed before I almost gave up on mobility entirely. My leg pain is gone and I feel so blessed to be in their continued care. 6 stars are not even enough to rate this stellar team of professionals.

My husband had back surgery by Dr. Alexander and was very pleased with the process from start to finish. Dr. Alexander and his staff were always there to answer any questions we had. Dr Alexander was very patient and explained everything throughly. Since the surgery, my husband says he feels "1,000% better"! He's so glad he did and would highly recommend him to anyone with back issues.

I had L4 L5 spinal fusion done with Dr. Alexander 3 months ago. I am feeling sooooo much better! Much better than I've been the past few years. I suffered 8 years of excruciating back pain due to previous car accident, herniated disc, annular disc tear, as well as nerve damage down to S1. I went through 6 years of injections , epidural , PRP, and radio frequency nerve ablation. But I needed those procedures done every couple months. It got to a point where I couldn't even lift my leg and those injections and medication were not working. So I went with surgery with Dr. Alexander. I was referred by my friend who had personal experience with surgery with him. I am glad I got the surgery done with Dr. Alexander!

I'm a 22 year old man who Dr. Alexander performed a posterior anterior interbody spinal fusion at the L4/L5 level I felt relief immediately upon waking up from my surgery and my back is now stronger than ever I cant thank Dr. Alexander and his team enough for making every single step of my process completely understandable and listening to and answering any and every question I could of had I am so thankful to have found an amazing doctor like Dr. Alexander and I would be glad to reccomend him and his office to anyone.

Dr. Alexander from the start of prognosis to surgery was very professional, kind, and through with discussing my medical spinal fusion. Excellent recovery and world class in my opinion. Thank you!

I felt compelled to write a review of my overall experience with Dr. Alexander and his team, as it has been one year since my surgery. I suffered through horrible back pain for over 10 years and had just about given up on having a pain free life. Dr. Alexander was the third Dr. I visited about my issue and he suggested a different approach than the others. The two other doctors I visited both suggested fusion, but Dr. Alexander suggested a minimally evasive surgery using a COFLEX implant. I hesitated to have the surgery, but my disk herniated to the point where I could no longer move and lost 15-20 pounds within three weeks. Dr. Alexander and his staff moved into action. PA. Helge arranged for me to be admitted to Hoag on an emergency basis. Clarissa worked her magic with the insurance and took care of all the paperwork. These people are truly special and I always felt they had my best interest in mind. Dr. Alexander ended up performing the surgery he had originally suggested and repaired the damaged disk and installed the implant.

One year later I am feeling better than I have for past 10 years and I continue to get stronger each day. I should not have hesitated about having the original surgery Dr. Alexander suggested. Had I listed to him at the beginning, I truly believe the damage to my disk would have been less severe and my recovery would have been much quicker. As it was, I was walking the next day pain free and could only thank god that I found the right person at the right time to help me through what was the worst ordeal of my life. Dr. Alexander, Dr. Helge, and Clarissa Johnson, are not just good at their jobs, but they all are truly special people. Although I really enjoyed their company, I hope I never have to see any of them ever again, but If i needed help, I know where to go.

God Bless you Dr. Alexander, you truly saved my life.

I suffered for over ten years with a herniated disc and sciatica. I had many steroid injections and physical therapy over the years with no improvement . I finally decided to take the step towards surgical intervention . I found Dr Alexander and his team at OSI and my experience couldn't have been better. I was very scared to undergo major surgery at my age but his team made me feel very confident and always made sure to answer all of my questions and concerns. It's been five months since my surgery and I can walk with no back pain/leg pain and my sciatica is gone. I'm so glad I made the decision to see Dr Alexander and his team.

My husband had neck spinal fusion surgery with Dr. Gerald Alexander. Dr. Gerald Alexander was refered by insurance company and I noticed that he had long time of experience.( more than 20 years something) Dr. Alexander showed up exact time without delay and my husband got well after 3 weeks. According to PA Helge Helgesen that it will take a while to get recovery and he was surprised that my husband did not take that much pain medication compare with other patient. I pray to the god for his success on his surgery because I heard a lot of people suggest not to take a surgery but my husband made it through with Dr. Gerald Alexander. PA Helgenson was super kind and nice also and try to spend more time with patient with any issue or concern. The receptionist name by Creasol (not sure if I spelled her right) was very professional too. First of all she speaks very clearly and detail oriented so I can understand the procedure of treatment before and after surgery. Even paperwork was all organized and easy to understand. One thing missing is that they are running two offices so most of time that you have to leave a message but they insure to return your call. I never visit the office but Dr. Gerald and staff is very helpful and passionate about patient and very knowledgeable too. I can definitely recommend Dr. Gerald Alexander.

Dr. Alexander and his staff were wonderful. My neck surgery was July 3rd, 2017 and I am so happy I did it. My tingling arm is gone, and I think for my first surgery, I am the luckiest girl in the world. I had a fantastic hospital stay, no real pain after the surgery, and I would recommend Dr. Alexander and his staff. Amazing.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Barnett and his team. Top to bottom; first class, caring, dedicated, detailed and personal. The process Dr. Barnett and his team have developed thoroughly educated and informed me of what to expect, how to care for myself post surgery and how to recover optimally. The staff was very accessible and helpful. Te got back to me right away and were able to help me quickly, competently and professionally. Treana, Dr. Barnett's PA was remarkable and most importantly--actually listened to truly understand what I needed and how she could help me. The backroom staff was very quick and responsive to follow up and assure that prescriptions were filled promptly and that I was cared for immediately. I would highly recommend Dr. Barnett for anyone who is considered hip replacement surgery.

Dr DeBottis diagnosed my injury and scheduled my surgery within a couple days of the diagnosis. Although I had problems with the anesthesia, the surgery overall went well.

The Doctor explained the procedure in detail, and within a few months my arm was (almost) as good as before the injury.

Dr. Deckey is an amazing person, not only an incredible surgeon and doctor. He went above and beyond and something didn't sit with him about my husband's MRI. Over the weekend, he had his own radiologist read it and it confirmed a staph infection in his spine and his bloodstream. Most doctor's would have just read the report and looked at it, but he knew something wasn't right. We are beyond grateful to him! And he did an incredible job on the surgery and everyone involved at the Hoag Orthopedic Institute was top notch and went above and beyond. I think they only hire the best!

It's been 4 weeks since massive back surgery and my back feels GREAT! Much stronger than before and my previous back pain is gone. Every person I came in contact with at the hospital said Dr. Deckey is the best. My anesthesiologist told me before my surgery if he were to ever need back surgery Dr. Deckey would be his surgeon. My back looks amazing so straight and the huge hump is gone. Dr. Deckey deserves nothing less than a perfect rating. I read through his ratings and reviews online and all the 5 star reviews are regarding his surgical outcomes. Then you have the 1 star because people are upset they had to wait 1 or 2 hours for their appointment. I am telling you right now Dr. Deckey is worth it! So do yourself a favor if you have an appointment and take the morning or afternoon off. Actually take the entire day off that way you don't have to get upset if it takes a while to see him. Dr. Deckey is the absolute best.

Dr Deckey listened to me, explained everything I was suffering from, and implemented two surgeries to correct my Degenerative Disc Disease. I had 4 cervical fusions first.

I went to see Dr. Deckey almost a year ago for a second opinion. I was working with another doctor and I was not happy with the level of attention they were putting toward getting me healed. Dr. Deckey performed a replacement/fuse surgery on my L5/S1 in Feb. 2020. It has not been 8 months since surgery and I feel great. I am amazed by the mobility that I have as well as being 100% pain free. I would recommend Dr. Deckey to my closets friends and family.

Dr Deckey is the best surgeon who had to fix my first botched back surgery. He was very very attentive to all of my needs before & after surgery.

Dr. Gorab did both my knees and my right hip. In my mind, there is no other choice. He is an amazing surgeon and his passion for expert care reflects on his staff both in the office and at the hospital. He is highly regarded by those who work for him and care for his patients. Everyone is always amazed at the speed at which I recover. Susie, his PA, is the go to person for any questions and is so patient. She is such a nice person. I hope my other hip doesn't require surgery any time soon but he will be the only one I go to when and if it is ever needed. He gets 6 stars from me.

First rate surgeon with superb, caring and efficient staff. Operates at Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine, a first rate facility dedicated to joint replacement surgery. I, at age 59, had not had surgery since my tonsils were removed as a child. Every aspect of this experience was handled superbly -- appointments, financial questions, scheduling, requests, surgery and post-operative care. You are in good hands with Dr. Bob Gorab and team.

My experience with Dr. Gorab and his staff has been excellent. He spent as much time with me as I needed and I never felt rushed. His staff returns phone calls and follows up promptly. The online support with checklists has been very helpful. I felt completely prepared for surgery and for the recovery period. He was recommended by many friends and I have, in turn, begun recommending him as well. I'm not easily impressed and he has done it.

What a wonderful experience I had with Dr. Gorab and his whole staff....Being I was quite scared/nervous to have both hips replaced, they made it so easy for me....Thanks so very much!

Source:

The entire staff is excellent. I appreciate that they listen to what I have to say. I didn't feel rushed.

Source:

There is nothing I could say that describes my experience with Dr Gorab other than I felt I was in the very best hands at all times. Dr Gorab and his staff are thorough, caring, and most importantly available when needed. There is a reason Dr Gorab is considered one of the top in his field....it is because it is true. I feel very fortunate to have had him do my knee replacement.

Source:

Dr. Gorab did a great job and got me on my feet quickly. The staff and hospital team were very helpful, caring, and efficient and I got a good education for the process ahead of time. The best part of the treatment was the cold therapy I signed up for. If you replace your knee you should use it. It made a big difference in my pain level, comfort and reduced swelling.

Source:

I am extremely happy regarding my outcomes for my anterior hip arthroplasty, my pain and discomfort was immediately resolved and my recovery has been pleasurable, because of my athletic background I was placed into the Advanced Rehab Group and couldn't have been happier with the rapid progress I have been allowed to make ....thank you,, thank you, thank you!

Source:

Dr. Gorab I only saw 2 times. The diagnosis and the procedure. I have not seen him for the follow up. Everything went great from beginning to end.

Source:

I have been a patient of Dr. Gorab's for more that 12 years. In that time my conditions have been successfully treated through physical therapy and surgery. I am happy with my care from Dr. Gorab as a person and physician.

Source:

Dr. Gorab did my knees 16 years ago and I've not had a problem with then since, so of course my first choice to do my right hip was Dr. Gorab!

Source:

Appointments were on time. His engagement with patients is excellent. His staff and PA are outstanding. He listened. He made a stellar decision to send me for nerve tests and to see a spinal surgeon to insure the issues I described in my left shoulder were NOT emanating from my spine or elsewhere. MRI revealed a cyst pressing on a nerve in the shoulder and attendant left arm weakness and aching pain. Nerve tests also confirmed. A physician who listens and uses his fellow specialists BEFORE making a final decision about surgery is deeply appreciated by me - his patient. Dr. Grumet earned my respect and I recommend him as a uniquely gifted Orthopaedic Surgeon. Five STARS.

I appreciate and respect Dr. Grumet's knowledge, expertise, and, more importantly, his open mind. He took my lifestyle into consideration and thoughtfully planned out a course of action to address my condition. Dr. Grumet had to do surgery on my right knee because I tore my ACL. My surgery went smoothly, and I'm on my way to recuperate and to get back to my lifestyle. Therefore, I want to extend my gratitude to Dr. Grumet and his staff at the Orthopedic Specialty Institute in Orange County. I hope this review helps you to choose the right place for the pain in your knee.

Excellent from all aspects; he provided all the needs for our daughter's torn ACL, and we were beyond satisfied. Great staff, top facilities, good communication, very professional. We had all care done on site, including physical therapy. They knew the entire treatment plan before the first visit. They were patient-oriented and knowledgeable.

My 13 yr old son had displaced fractures in 3 fingers and came to see Dr. Halikis and he was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and has great bedside manners. I traveled over 2 hrs to see him and the best decision. His office is one of the best practices I have seen in my whole life. His whole staff is amazing. If you are looking for a hand surgeon trust me don't go anywhere else come here you won't regret it.

Great doctor. Had surgery on both hands. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Halikis has operated on both of my hands, at separate times. He does an excellent job at explaining procedures, options, and expectations. I'm 57 years old, so I have a fair history of various doctors with which to compare him.

My daughter ruptured her achilles tendon in early July 2022. Several other doctors can not locate where her tendon was ruptured. Dr Kang quickly found the location of the rupture,pointed it out on the MRI image. He then did an excellent minimal invasive surgery for her achilles tendon. My daughter is recovering very well now. Dr. Kang is extremely competent, kind and professional. I highly recommend him.

~ S

Source:

My experience with Dr. Kang has been exceptional. He immediately put me at ease with his extensive knowledge regarding my particular injury. Everything was well-explained and I had the utmost confidence in his ability to perform my surgery. He did a great job following up with my progress and making sure my recovery was going well. I wish I had more stars to give!

Source:

Dr. Kang is an excellent doctor. He not only knows his specialty but is very personable, friendly, and puts his patients at ease. He explains his diagnosis and treatment plan in plain terms that the layman can easily understand. Although I was in extreme pain on my first visit he immediately put my wife and I at ease.

~ D W

Friendly, professional, and informative. Efficient and friendly office staff as well.

I can't even express how amazing Dr. Kang is. I've dealt with many doctors over the years--many of them arrogant, or too busy to spend time with you. Not only is Dr. Kang extremely skilled in his practice--he's also the nicest doctor I've ever come across. I came in with a broken foot from a 17 foot rockclimbing fall, and he has always taken time to answer questions and educate me. Even my PT was like 'your doctor is so detailed in his notes! Most doctors spend no time on giving us instructions!

I’ve been going to Dr. Kruse, since September, 2019. He and his staff are excellent. He listens to what you have to say and he will never sit on the computer, during the visit. I’ve received excellent care, and I’m headed in the right direction.

~ L

Source:

My experience with Dr. Kruse and his staff was great. I had problems for several months with my foot (plantar fasciitis). He recommended a PRP injection, rather than surgery, which was a great solution. The injection went great, and it helped me tremendously. He listens to his patients, and is very professional. A nice guy, too. Would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Le . Plain and simple is one of the doctors I've ever seen.

~ S D

Source:

I have been a patient of Dr Le's for the last 3 years and he has been STELLAR! His bedside manner is the best of ANY doctor I have been to, and I've been to MANY! He is conservative in his treatment and isn't a "pill pusher". He seeks to find root cause of pain and address that issue. Sometimes the wait can be a little long, but in my experience its because he takes the time to listen to his patients and advocates for their quality of life. His office staff is equally awesome! Sonia and Maria have been a great help with the constant need for authorizations and sending medical records to various other doctors. Whenever I have needed an off cycle appointment they have been great finding slots for me to see him when I have a flare and need trigger point injections (he's a master with a needle.) I moved to the IE and happily drive 1 1/2 hour to go see him. Other doctors see my regimen and FLAT OUT refused to take it on and don't care at all about my quality of life like he does.

Source:

Dr. Le's bedside manners were conforting. I had my first ever epidural this week. He was caring and professional. It did not hurt a bit. I have had several friends that have had epidurals in the past by other doctors and my experience was definitely the best. I felt confident from beginnning to end that Dr. Le would take care of me. I highly recommend Dr. Le and his amazing staff.

~ S.R.- Laguna

Honestly, Dr. Le is one of the best doctors we have ever had. He is knowledgeable, extremely compassionate, and an excellent technician. We have seen many, many doctors for a serious back problem my husband has, but none have compared to Dr. Le. We drive over an hour to see him, but it is well worth it, and we are happy to do it. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I have only seen Dr. Nieto once so far. I have lower back/sciatica issues. However, I came away with a solid opinion of his capabilities and his knowledge. Very easy to talk to; I was able to quickly establish good rapport with him.

Dr. Kevin Parvaresh right away gave me the impression that he would be a kind surgeon when he came in and introduced himself and shook my hand. He listened to the history of my orthopedic problem and did the appropriate exam. He went over the X-rays and explained the findings . And subsequently discussed the treatment he recommended in a comprehensive manner . Since it wasn’t the surgical intervention I expected , he patiently answered my questions and showed part of the surgical procedure on the computer. He showed compassion and understanding as I explained my post op constraints and concerns. We don’t see too many surgeons with his kind demeanor in dealing with patients anymore . And I’m glad he was the surgeon highly recommended to me by a couple of other doctors.

Dr Parvaresh is the BEST Orthopedic Dr. He listens to you as a patient. He is conservative and so kind. his staff emulates his kindness as well. I HIGHLY recommend Dr P

I have been a patient of Dr. Parvaresh for a couple of years now. From the beginning I have been pleased with both him and his staff. Dr. Parvaresh listens attentively to my concerns, gives me options for next steps, and I never feel rushed through an appointment though I know he is very busy. Dr. Parvaresh did an extensive repair on my hip and a torn gluteal tendon. He was clear on the surgery and recovery process, and though he spoke with me post-surgery he knew I was still loopy so he also called me the next day to be sure I was clear on instructions, and he was involved in my physical therapy, keeping apprised of exactly what was to be done and that his instructions were being carried out properly. I can with a absolute certainty recommend Dr. Parvaresh and his staff for your lower extremity orthopedic needs.

Dr. Parvaresh and the rest of the OSI team are a class act! I was surprised how attentive the doctor was to small details I thought I mentioned only in passing. Currently 3 months post-op and fully satisfied with my shoulder function after my injury.

I had a total hip replacement in April 2021. Was referred to Dr Scudday and HOAG Ortho by a colleague who had the same surgery. He was so completely satisfied I had to follow his advice even though I live in Riverside County. Best decision ever! After years of other doctors telling me I had arthritis and nothing could be done Dr Scudday gave me hope for my future and THR was my best option to get my mobility back. My condition is so healed that I never think about my hip until someone who knows I had surgery asks me about it! Every aspect from making my first appointment through rehab was the best experience. Even the billing department was more interested in my recovery and told me billing could wait! I’ve never felt so well taken care of. Strongly recommend for anyone needing Ortho surgery. Dr Scudday and HOAG is the best!!

~ VC in CA

I was referred to Dr. Scudday by DR. Grumet. He discovered I needed a knee replacement due to my arthritis and deteriorating bone. It was the best referral I could've ever received. I was shocked by how thoroughly Dr. Scudday explained my condition, procedure, and the subsequent rehab process. I underwent surgery with the possibility of getting a total knee replacement or partial knee replacement. Thankfully, I only ended up receiving the latter. I'm forever grateful that Dr. Scudday considered my lifestyle and thoughtfully planned a course of action to address my condition. He didn't see me as just another run-of-mill knee replacement patient; he made an effort to assess my situation fully. My recovery has been miraculous; one thrilled and surprised patient. While it's a journey that no one wants to take, I'm tremendously grateful to Dr. Scudday and his entire staff, which were outstandingly professional, kind, and patient.

am 18 months post op knee replacement by Dr. Scudday, and am so delighted with the outcomes of my surgery. I can walk, cook, grocery shop and I have no pain. Prior to surgery I could not walk more than 10 feet. Today, I was able to kneel which I have not done since my original injury, forty years ago! Thank-you Dr. Scudday!

Dr Scudday performed knee replacement surgery on my 84yo Mother 8 months ago, the surgery was not easy but he did an incredible job. My mother is walking around like the new knee was always there. Not only is he a highly skilled doctor, his bedside manner is commendable to say the least. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Shepard is an amazing physician! Not only is he very talented as a surgeon (my meniscus repairs were done so well) but he is great at explaining things, has a wonderful sense of humor, is really down to earth, very experienced, and highly credentialed. I seriously cannot think of any aspect in which he could be any better. In addition, his staff is very nice and friendly, whether at his Orange office or his Irvine office. If you have orthopedic issues, he's your guy.

My 14 year old son injured his ankle at a bounce house facility and complained of pain and swelling. He's a baseball player so it was vital we get a proper diagnosis and assessment vs what the local urgent care told us (it was just sprained). Turns out he had an avulsion fracture that did not require surgery but was placed in a boot for stabilization. Complete faith in Dr. Smith and he was accurate in his assessment to the day of recovery time. Dr. Smith's CV reads like a superhero with his vast knowledge/experience and has amazing bedside manners as well. Very pleased to have him treat my son and would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Smith is very compassionate and cares very much about a good outcome. I would recommend him 100% to anyone with spine issues. My life has changed so much for the better since my spine surgery.

After a horrible encounter with another physician, a friend of ours recommended Dr. Smith. We were pleasantly surprised, Dr. Smith was compassionate, listened to what we had to say and took the time to explain everything at great length. Dr. Smith only opts for surgery as a last resort and tries to find all possible ways to find a nonsurgical solution. A breath of fresh air in a world of monstrous physicians who only care about making money at the expense of patient care.

I had a snowboard accident and subsequently broke my c5 and c6. Dr. White was very helpful in explaining what needed to be done, the process and the recovery. After my surgery I was instantly relieved of my pain and on the road to recovery. 6 months later I was surfing and snowboarding again. Every time I see him he reassures me with his professionalism that I chose the right Doc with. I highly recommend him and his practice.

~ A H

Source:

let me start off by saying that if you’re looking for a very personable doctor, someone that is talkative and caters to your every need then Dr Jon White is probably not for you. My first meeting with him gave me the impression he was a bit errogant. Upon my third meeting he began to open up a little bit. I am so glad I stuck with Dr. White, he is an excellent doctor and the entire staff there is fantastic and so caring. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for all of them for helping me

~ R S

There's likely no way I could list all the accolades here that come to mind concerning the care Dr. White has provided to me throughout my experience with him. My surgery involved four lumbar vertebrae. The operation was a success and has made my life more comfortable than it has been in 30 years.

Dr. White did everything humanly possible to repair my messed up lower back. He also had to clean up a mess left by a previous physician. He is forthright and honest and will tell you if you DO NOT need surgery. If it was not for Dr. White I would be in a wheel chair. Dr. White is the ONLY doctor I would ever let touch my back again!!
