I am compelled to write this review - not just because of the exceptional care I received from Dr…read more Patel and his team but to help inform people of the tremendous benefit of regeneration therapeutics. I suffered an injury over Christmas that left me unable to walk, excruciating pain just to stand. I took 3,000 mg Tylenol, and 400 mg Celebrex without relief. I had to fly home early from my daughter's in MO, in a wheelchair. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon who was not helpful but did prescribe PT. I went to PT for months and in March was still in bad pain with most usual activities. I was living a very restricted life. I researched functional orthopedic care and I am so grateful I found Dr. Patel. After reading reviews I made an appointment but was still unsure if I could get results like those I read about. He spent 90 minutes with me (never has any physician spent 90 minutes with me) - watched me walk, examined my spine and muscle strength, asked me lots of questions, and answered all of mine. He reviewed the 2 sets of X-rays that had been taken previously, gave me his working diagnosis, and ordered an MRI. The MRI showed a strangulated nerve root at L5 in addition to several other findings including severe facet arthropathy. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapeutics are still not covered by insurance (despite being found beneficial for well over a decade), and the cost was higher than I had anticipated. He explained my options - taking the insurance-covered route or taking his route (recommending both procedures for my complex case) but with the possibility of full mobility. I scheduled my procedure and the day before I would have fell in the parking lot after having lunch with a friend if she had not been with me, due to the severe claudication in my left leg. His patient advocate made sure I had everything prepared before my procedure. His team was extraordinary - calling the night before with reminders about medications to take before coming, medications to bring, etc. My procedure was much more complex than usual but everything went great! The care I received during the procedure was exceptional and prior preparation made the transition home easy. For the first 3 days, I was in a lot of pain and grateful to have purchased the walker as they suggested. The walker and the back brace helped to mitigate some of the pain when I needed to get up and move around my house. As I live alone, I was grateful to have my sister come and stay with me for 3 days. After about a week, the only pain I felt was in the back of my pelvis at the two puncture sites for the bone marrow aspiration. I have taken no pain medication not even Tylenol, after the first 5 days. It has been about 5 weeks now since the procedure and I am pain-free at rest and continuing to push my body with PT twice a week. I have full flexibility without pain. I can lift 15 pounds without pain and am walking 2 to 3 miles a day without pain. I am confident in another month or two I will be back to full physical activities. These procedures administered by an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable physician can regenerate the lower back - ligaments, muscles, and facets, and stabilize the lower back. I highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone suffering back pain, who believes they must live a life of limited activity, muscle relaxants, and pain medication, or face back surgery that could leave you worse off. Please make an appointment and learn more about this treatment given your situation. The consultation examination will be the best physical exam you have ever had and worth every cent!

My experience with the front desk/intake staff was disappointing. The person I spoke with talked…read morevery quickly, mumbled, and was difficult to understand over the phone. The conversation felt very scripted and transactional, with little sense of warmth, patience, or genuine patient care. Instead of feeling welcomed or helped, I found myself wanting to end the call as quickly as possible. While the doctor may provide excellent care, the front office experience created a poor first impression and felt unnecessarily off-putting.

Dr. Zarrafkhan is simply amazing. I actually stumbled upon this place six months ago since it was…read moreright next door to my sons pediatrician's office. Dr. Z and his staff went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and concerns about their PRP and Stem Cell procedures. Fast forward to today, I came in for a follow up because I was having knee issues a week prior. I was dead set on getting a PRP injection. But,to be safe, Dr. Z prescribed an MRI where we could make sure this wasn't a sprain or something minor. Low and behold he was right, there was no sign of any muscle. ligament, bone, tissue, and or cartilage damage. A lot of doctors would have still pushed and urged me to get a PRP injection, just to make a little extra cash. Thankfully, Dr. Z wasn't overly aggressive at all. He let me know the pros and cons of doing the invasive procedure, but he strongly urged, and I quote "if it ain't broke don't fix it." He even went the extra mile and performed a quick ultrasound to show me that both my knee and my calf didn't have any tears or anything. I cannot tell you how valuable his honesty was and how much it meant to me. The fact that he was not just saying any and everything to make a sale let me know he is about his patients well being first, and not his profit. I can only say great things, so if you're in pain and think you are a candidate for PRP and or stem cell, I would definitely recommend coming to visit Dr. Z.

Came today for a consultation and left leaving with excruciating pain…read more Payed $250 prior to visit, since you can't be seen until payment is made. Seen doctor an explain my problem. Doctor was pleasant and informed me that medical assistant would assist me. I have seen many doctors and assistants before and never had experience this. The MA asked the same question over 5xs and was alarming since I wrote down everything on paper of the issue. She had me lay down and started bending, twisting, adding pressure with both hands on my legs to extend that I kept insisting that it was painful and still continued. She even stood on top of the stool to put pressure on my bad ankle and her body was over me. I got up quickly and notified her what she was doing was painful and hurting me. Not once have I've been to a doctor's office and they continue to work on body part that's causing problems. This was shocking and there's no way I would be able to tolerate more pain. I jumped out of the table in shock of the pain I was in and walked out. I left called my fiancee crying on the magnitude of pain that was inflicted on me. I let her know it's wrong to continue with the movements she was doing. Her response was that she had to do her job. If this was a license professional, they would know how to work around injured area. Now my ankle is swollen and is upsetting that I payed $250 to get hurt. I don't recommend this place. Even if you're desperate learn from my mistake. At times you're better off seeing doctors that are covered by insurance. I came out of desperation and regret it. Please do your research and go through your insurance. Don't do the same mistake ai did.

This review is LONG overdue. I've been meaning to write it for a while, but after today's…read moreappointment, I finally had to. Edmar is amazing -- friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great at what he does. He actually listens to what your body needs instead of giving you the same routine every time. And to set expectations, this is not your typical spa massage. Edmar uses his own myotherapy techniques to really target the muscles, fascia, and areas of restriction. It can be intense when he's working through a stubborn area, but the relief afterward is what keeps me coming back. I walked in today with insanely tight traps, neck/shoulder tension, and TMJ pain. The TMJ part still blows my mind. He did some kind of work around my knee that I have absolutely no idea how it works, but somehow it immediately relieved my jaw pain. I don't understand the magic, but I'm not questioning it! By the time I left, I felt noticeably lighter and looser -- like I had finally released a ton of tension I'd been carrying around. I do CrossFit, boxing, and aerial, so my body takes a beating. For me, professional, targeted bodywork is maintenance. Having someone who can actually identify what's tight and work on the muscles and fascia properly makes a huge difference. Is it the cheapest massage? No. But it's worth it. And while Tustin isn't exactly around the corner for me, I'm happy to make the drive because I know I'm going to leave feeling better. If you're active, constantly tight, dealing with stubborn knots, neck/shoulder tension, or TMJ issues, I highly recommend Edmar. This is the kind of bodywork where you leave thinking, "Yep, I really needed that." Definitely worth the drive

My husband and I have been seeing Edmar for years, and we truly can't say enough good things about…read morehim. He is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about his patients, always striving to expand his knowledge and refine his techniques. What really sets him apart is how personalized each session feels. He takes the time to understand not just what your body needs, but also who you are. No two massages are ever the same--he thoughtfully tailors each session based on what's going on with your body and what you need most. That level of care and attention is exactly why we continue to see him, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly exceptional experience.

Dr. Breen saved my life! I was 48 years old, had a 2 year…read moreold, and had debilitating fatigue and my muscles felt like they were atrophying worse each day... I was really lucky to know have my closest family friends (they are like me parents) be under his care for the past 15 years; they are almost 80 and thriving directly due to being under Dr. Breen's care. When I started realizing I was suffering the same symptoms that my friend told me she had 15 years prior, I knew it was time to call Dr. Breen to get started on the same successful regiment they were on. My mom's side of the family has been struggling with numerous auto-immune diseases for generations now, and unfortunately I have inherited them as well. Dr. Breen took all that into consideration on started me on a daily regimant that is easy, did numerous tests and started moniotring all of my horomone levels. Right away, within the first month I started to finally feel like myself again, it's been over two years and I am living an active lifestyle again because I have energy and feel alive! Dr. Breen is worth every single penny, especially for anyone experiencing scary pre-menopause/ menopause symptoms, especially ones where no other doctor will help with and just say "it's normal." Since stating with Dr. Breen, and being the age I'm at, and also being an avid traveller, I've spoken to several women and men who cannot get the help they need for midlife horomone hell, whether it be in the United States, Europe or Cental/ South America. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Breen and have been told by several doctors that have said how lucky I am, my bloodwork and results show everyone in my medical network (even in my regular medical insurance circle) how successful it is:) Finally I'm getting the answers I need and the instructions/ medications to be able to have a life again, a life not stolen from me by constant fatigue and mounting diagnosises. Highly recommmended! Menopause might be "natural" but you don't need it to severly damage your life, especially your mental health, healthy lifestyle and/ or your marriage. Seriously it's been a Godsend and I wish there were alot more Dr. Breens out there for women and men everywhere :)

Dr Breen takes care of you watches your blood work carefully to keep you healthy!…read moreI have to say that your health is his best interest. It's not trying to take your money. He's trying to keep you healthy, unlike the regular medical field
