My knee was replaced in 2021 it has been the most frustrating procedure I've ever it's been through a nightmare.

Dr WaBa came right in, no waiting he is a pain specialist, very professional we discussed my pain tolerances and possible treatment. His conclusion was my issue wasn't something he could help me with. I appreciated his frankness. My next and probably last avenue will most likely be physical therapy. Or another replacement. Everyone at SCOI this morning were friendly helpful professionals.

She said, "we don't treat the ribs." So I said, "okay well maybe it's my spine that's causing all the pain," She says, "we don't treat the spine." I said, "are you the medical professional?" She says no, she's not the medical professional but apparently working for a medical professional long enough qualifies you to just know whether the specialist is going to find anything wrong with you. My spouse has worked on an oil rig for 20+ years so I guess you could say I'm somewhat of an oilfield expert. y'know since we're now gaining our experience based on the people we're in close proximity to. ‍ Wow!! I'm so glad I got that referral to see that bone specialist so he could evaluate me and see if it's any of my joints or bones THAT HE DOES TREAT that might be causing all this pain. Thanks "medical professional" Heidi M who has magical powers allowing her to evaluate so quickly and easily diagnose and rule out the need to see her doctor right there over the phone in just a few minutes. Needless to say, she did not allow me to schedule to see her Dr. She knows best because she has been his assistant for many years.

I had surgery performed by Dr Moelleken In July of 2017. After 4 - 5 years of pain medication I…read moreneeded my back repaired and Dr. Moelleken found severe scoliosis curve which you can see on the picture as well as he installed a spinal cord stimulator. Unfortunately he had to put three pedicure screws in and fuse my lumbar section of my back. The compression fracture t11 and T12 happened as a result of my surgery. 9 out 10 people cannot pass a bone density test. I have documents from Stanford and Mayo clinic. So I need the doctor Moelleke's help to adjust my pain medication appropriately. I CAN NOT walk 100 yds without stopping because I have severe back pain and severe muscle spasms. I've been diagnosed with severe back pain syndrome, failed back pain syndrome, fail surgery syndrome, etc. I mean I could name several things that happened but it was not the surgeon's fault. He did the best he could under severe severe conditions. In fact he had to amend his original operating report. So I thank him for that. I would recommend anybody who has a back problem to see physicians at this facility first. 9 out of 10 people cannot pass a bone density test in the United States. I have two letters one from the Mayo clinic one from Stanford Medical and they state the same thing. After doing a 5-year test this is what they found out so no wonder a lot of people have broken hips and all this other stuff, because what we need to do is drink more calcium and be more active and have weight resistant training it doesn't have to be 10,000 lb just lightweight training keep your bones strong! As well as insure you're drinking and getting enough calcium with supplements. There are several foods and vegetables with calcium in them. If you're over 50 it requires a lifestyle change and how you eat. One last thing that everybody forgets is the staff who answer the phone and work behind the scenes at the Spine and Orthopedic Center are extremely competent and they're extremely nice over the phone. No one ever gives them any credit where credit is due, hence this is why I'm writing this.

I hurt my back and was in terrible pain. In a desperate Google search of spine orthopedic doctors I…read morecalled here and they were able to see me that day. I saw Dr. Tristan Zhang. After a quick exam and intake, he said I needed an X-ray and spinal injection and probably an MRI. He did not explain or give a diagnosis. I had the X-ray performed that day and the following day my injection which was performed under mild anesthesia. The day of my injection I asked about the findings of my X-ray (I asked prior to the anesthesia, so I was fully aware). He said the X-ray showed some mild arthritis in the lower back. A week later I had my tele-health visit with Dr. Zhang, which began with a nurse. The nurse asked how I was doing (much better, thankfully). The nurse prescribed physical therapy. Dr. Zhang came on the line and looked at my X-ray. He told me I had a different diagnosis than what he had told me at the time of my injection. When I asked why he was giving me a different diagnosis than before, he responded that he had not really reviewed my X-ray on the day of my injection. Wow! He injected something in my spine without bothering to review my X-ray fully. He then proceeded to say I needed to consult with his associate about the possibility of needing surgery. When I questioned him, he got visibly upset and left the tele health visit and didn't return. I was left with his nurse. I declined meeting with his associate. I made an appointment with a spine surgeon from UCLA. After thoroughly reviewing my X-ray and giving me a long exam, they told me I didn't need surgery and were rather horrified that surgery was suggested for my condition. I am now going to be doing physical therapy (which Dr.Zhang said I could not do). The doctors at UCLA explained my condition extensively with me and listened with respect to my concerns. They treated me like a human being. Dr. Zhang did not thoroughly review my X-ray before performing a procedure on my spine, and his assumption that I may need surgery was not accurate. Thank goodness I sought a second opinion. As a patient, I deserve to be treated with respect and maybe a kind bedside manner, not to mention a doctor who examines my X-ray completely before performing any procedures. This was one the WORST medical experiences of my life. I will say the nurses in the surgery center and the office staff were kind. Please if you find yourself in pain go somewhere else!
