She strikes me as someone who lacks education and etiquette. Dr. Decker is good though. You have to pay for parking. They do not validate.

I have had 2 knee surgeries through him and have had great results with both. Third, his bedside manner is top notch, he explains everything to you is a way that is understandable.

Fifth, his office staff are friendly, efficient, and flexible with appointments and paperwork. I have recommended him to a number of family members and co-workers.

If I could give this surgeon a million stars, I would. Dr Steven Barnett replaced my hip 9+ years…read moreago. Being that I was in my 20s, I desperately did not want to have total joint replacement but after seeking consultation from a dozen different orthopedic surgeons across socal, it became clear that a THR was my only resolve. I went with Dr Barnett because he spent nearly 2 hours answering my VERY long list of questions and concerns. Together we went into the procedure with a plan A, B, and even C based on the concern of the integrity of my femur head since potential need for a bone graft may have been necessary. He was honest and upfront about not fully knowing the scope of the bone integrity. I appreciated him being forthright and transparent. His bedside manners were some of the best I've ever experienced from any medical practitioner. It is thanks to Dr Barnett and his team, that I had a smooth recovery with no surprises or road blocks of any kind. It is truly incredible how excellent my mobility, my strength and overall flexibility is. Nearly a decade later and I often forget my hip is bionic! I believe it's 75% the doctor(s) and the other 25% is the patients responsibility in terms of successful outcome. I couldn't be more pleased with Dr Barnett exceeding his part. I hope that he's still practicing when it's time for my revision because he will surely be my first choice. I've even recommended him to several other friends/family friends - all had similar fantastic experiences. Reading through the reviews on here, I feel like a lot of negative feedback is due to the patients neglect of doing their own research and homework. Not to mention the importance of after care. You get what you put in when it comes to post op care and therapy. I not only paid for extra physical therapy beyond what my insurance covered, but I've worked with myofascial specialists, chiropractor and ROLFing clinicians. The culmination of all of the above over the years has me in the best shape of my life! I'm more active and stronger now than I ever thought possible thanks to Dr Barnett and the entire team of therapeutic practitioners that have helped keep me dialed. Thank you Dr Barnett's team for redeeming and exceeding my quality of life!

He took the time to find the right meds and really listen to how I was feeling in order to make the appropriate medication changes that basically helped me get to where I am now, which is like he gave me my life back. Dr Chang also does a variety of injections (trigger point and others) that significantly improved my ability to walk. I attribute that to his knowledge and doing the correct injections that are necessary for my individual pain issues. I am so blessed to have Dr Chang managing my pain. I look forward to each office visit, knowing he intently listens to how I am doing and truly cares. Thats something I wish for anyone suffering with chronic pain. The entire staff is truly wonderful. I just love them all, they are always so nice and professional. The office decor is beautiful and has a relaxing feel. *** Update June 2019 *** Dr. Eric Chang has continued providing amazing care.

Who needs rude staff when you go there for pain and get treated unprofessional behavior. First visit you tell doctor your whole scenario, he orders an MRI... when I came back you don't see the Doctor you see an assistant that doesn't pull up your chart and ask why your there, then says " tell me why your here" so we have to start all over.

I recently had surgery at Hoag Orthopedic Institute Surgery Center in Orange, and overall my…read moreexperience was excellent thanks to the amazing medical team. The doctors were skilled, attentive, and genuinely caring -- I felt completely safe in their hands. A very special thank you to Jen B, who was nothing short of extraordinary. She treated me with genuine compassion and understanding from start to finish. Jen took the time to learn about my sensory sensitivities and made thoughtful adjustments so I could feel calm and comfortable throughout my care. She also took into account past trauma I've experienced and made sure that nothing about my procedure or recovery would be triggering. Her empathy, professionalism, and gentle reassurance made all the difference. Jen is the kind of nurse who truly changes lives -- I will never forget her kindness. I also want to mention Yuri, the receptionist who checked me in. She was polite, professional, and very pleasant -- a great first impression at check-in. Unfortunately, the experience at discharge was very different. The receptionist seated on the right side of the front desk was extremely rude and dismissive to my mom when she came to pick me up after surgery. Her tone and attitude were completely uncalled for, and it was upsetting after such compassionate care from everyone else. Even my seven-year-old daughter, who was with my mom, noticed and asked why that lady was being rude -- and that says a lot. When a child can recognize disrespect in a medical setting, it's clear there's a serious issue. In short: * Medical team: Excellent. * Jen B: Outstanding -- trauma-informed, kind, and deeply empathetic. * Yuri (check-in): Friendly and professional. * Front desk (right-side receptionist): Rude and unprofessional; absolutely needs attention. If management addresses the front desk behavior, this would easily be a 5-star facility. The care itself -- especially from Jen and the doctors -- deserves nothing less
