Dr. Lee changed my life. I went to him in February 2026 as a second opinion on a herniated disc…read more(L5/S1) that was pressing on my sciatic nerve and causing sever left leg pain. Prior to that appointment, I was in PT for 2 months which only made the pain worse and then received an epidural shot from a pain physician. The epidural shot wore off after 6 weeks and the pain came back in mid-March 2026 worse and persistent. I made the decision to get a microdiscectomy and got it done on April 21, 2026. Dr. Lee and his office is very professional. He takes his time and answers every question I had about the surgery, recovery, and anything I could think about. He never rushes me out the door and spends the time talking through everything with me. He called for two days after the surgery, and his team was able to answer any questions via phone I had. Dr. Lee has been a resource at several milestone appointments: 2 weeks post op, 6 weeks post op, and 4 months post op. He also gave me a great recommendation for the PT required after my 6 weeks of recovery. Two things I would like to point out is the hospital nurses all had great things to say about him the day of the surgery and kept telling me I was in good hands. The OR nurse even told me she's consulting with him about her pain. The PT office I selected based on Dr. Lee's recommendation has also been great. At my first appointment with them during the physical exam, based on my physical responses to the exam, they told me I had a great surgeon who worked on me, and I was in great shape just 6 weeks after the surgery. I know a full recovery can take up to a year so I am still in recovery and doing PT (more for my sanity) as I had a large herniated disc, but I am no longer in pain and feel like my prior self 95% of the time. I would recommend Dr. Lee in a heartbeat!

I was not impressed at all. Dr. Lee conducted his examination of my complaints. I explained that…read moreI had already had a nerve test and x-rays completed recently and offered to provide him with the disc from the facility that completed the tests. Dr. Lee was fine with this. I prepared the disc to be mailed off with the USPS, which required a signature once delivered to Dr. Lee's office. I did this because the disc has my Personal Health Information (PHI) and my Personal Identification Information (PII). I also called Dr. Lee's office and spoke his female staff members - twice - to alert them of the disc being sent and the need for someone's signature. I was brushed off and ignored. I few days later, I get a bill for the office visit. Long story short, my disc sat at the USPS in Glendale until it was returned to me by USPS as no one went into the USPS to sign for the disc. A female staffer calls me to ask if I had received their bill, to which I told her I had. She tells me to ignore it because they filed the claim wrong!?!? I would not recommend anyone going here.

He never asked about my symptoms, pain, or concerns. Instead, he quickly told me to get an MRI and commented, "Welcome to the healthcare system in the United States."

I expected a physician to take the time to listen and evaluate my condition, but that did not happen. I changed doctors right away.

Dr. Mulholland was the neurosurgeon on staff at Huntington Hospital when I was admitted and my…read moreMRI's showed severe degeneration in my lumbar pressing on my nerves. I met her briefly and she ordered a CT guided epidural procedure. She said it didn't look like I needed surgery, but upon meeting with an orthopedic surgeon in tears yesterday, I was told that I likely need to have a disc removed surgically because the the disc is pressing on my nerves. Despite my paperwork saying I should have a follow up appointment within 2 weeks, I tried for 6 days to get ahold of her office and no one called or emailed me back. When I finally got through today, they had no idea who I was and couldn't see me until July, even though I mentioned in my messages and on the phone that the epidural doesn't seem to have worked and I'm in severe debilitating pain. When asked if it's normal to ignore a patient's voicemails and emails for 6 days and to not get the patient in within the 2 week follow up per my discharge instructions, I was told she was booked. I asked again if that is normal to not see a patient within the follow up period, especially one with a serious nerve pressing issue causing muscle atrophy and who's is severe pain, I was told she could try to ask the doctor to see me sooner. I told them I'd rather work with someone else, as obviously there is no care or concern for my condition. Yet another disappointing experience in our medical system as I suffer trying to find practitioners that will help me within a reasonable period. Thankfully, the orthopedic surgeon seems to care deeply, so I will follow up with them.

I'd like to offer a fair and balanced review of my experience with Dr. Celene Mulholland and the…read morepractice overall. I began care here shortly after the unexpected passing of Dr. William Caton, the founding member of the practice. My initial workup was completed by Dr. Caton, and under his leadership, I felt genuinely cared for and cared about. My first visit with Dr. Mulholland followed the results of MRIs for my cervical and lumbar spine. During that appointment, she provided a diagnosis that had been a mystery for 16 years, after struggling with unresolved symptoms since a motor vehicle accident in 2004 and a subsequent cervical spine surgery in another state. Finally receiving clarity was a deeply meaningful and validating moment. For that, I am truly grateful. On the downside, once it was clear I was not a current surgical candidate, I felt less of a priority within the practice. I frequently experienced long delays--sometimes several days to over a week--before receiving returned phone calls. I often had to call again to follow up, and even then, responses were delayed. Additionally, staff often expressed being overworked and overbooked, which did not inspire confidence in the follow-through on patient communication. I also took the time to request and review my medical records. What was documented during in-office visits was accurate and consistent with my recollection. However, I noticed that none of my phone calls were documented in the chart. This is important to me, as I asked several significant questions by phone about medications and their side effects. Having those conversations recorded in my medical file would have been helpful for continuity of care and accountability. In summary, I am sincerely thankful to Dr. Mulholland for providing the diagnosis that finally explained symptoms I had lived with for years. That alone is something I will never forget. At the same time, I hope the practice can improve the consistency and timeliness of patient communication, especially for those who are no longer in acute or surgical phases but still need ongoing support and guidance.

After a really upsetting experience with the office of Dr. Yuri Falkenstein (stay away!) Dr…read more Costigan was highly recommended. He is everything my last doctor wasn't. He is personable, highly expert, communicative, and gave me information about my herniated discs and spinal stenosis that I'd not heard before. He is invested in not only my physical health but also empathetic about how my pain has affected my life. He does not waste time. I was in dire need of relief from chronic pain and he acted within days, not weeks or months as was my previous experience. His is a God-given calling. And I cannot say enough about his staff. Samantha, Caesar, everyone. I have never experienced the kind of care and followup from an office and surgical staff as I have here. They are all to be applauded. It comes from the top - and Dr. Costigan has surrounded himself with like-minded people who take pride and find joy in helping others. I don't know where my future back issues will take me, but I am confident that I am in the best hands possible. Congress Medical, in general, is spectacular. I had hip replacements by Dr. Todd Dietrick and the same kind of care, expertise, and trust was always present.

I saw the doctor on 11/2025 for a consultation. The following month I received a bill from Cedars Sinai/Aetna, labeled as out-of-network. I contacted Aetna and they corrected the billing, after contacting doctor's office. I saw the doctor on 1/13,26, 2/10/26 and 2/24/26. The actual epidural procedure was billed as in-network, but office visits out-of-network, same doctor and location. I was told by Cedars Sinai, that the extra charges were part of my deductible, wrong! I have Medicare and there is no deductible. Cedars Sinai and Congress Orthopedics merged 2024, so Cedars Sinai bills for the office visits. At no point was I told this would result in extra charges. The epidural caused severe side effects ended up in the ER, and no pain relief. On 05/25 saw a different surgeon and had no billing issues.
