He suggested I first get an MRI, so glad he did as I had a a significant rotator cuff tear, steroids would have masked the pain and made things worse. I received corrective surgery and 3 weeks out am already experiencing less pain vs pre-surgery. He provided great step-by-step detail on the procedure and what to expect wrt pain and recovery, and has been very present post-operation. He also has a great staff who are very responsive and supportive. I really appreciated his ability to clearly explain all options of treatment including pros and cons, which allowed me to make the best decision for me without pressure.

My wife has had spinal issues since a car accident many years ago. In 2013, she underwent her…read morefourth spinal fusion, this one performed excellently by Dr. Chris Bono of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. In that surgery, Dr. Bono inserted two 13-inch rods and connected them to her spine with 12 screws. Needless to say, recovery from an operation like that is very difficult and is often accompanied by minimal flexibility. That's where Igor came in. He and his associate, George, worked with my wife to increase her strength and flexibility while reducing the stress on her neck, and the results have been amazing. Most people can't even tell she has limited mobility, and she credits Igor and George, as well as Dr. Bono, with saving her life. In the 35+ years since the initial accident, my wife has seen many physical therapists, but it was Igor Burdenko's approach that provided her with the greatest post-surgical recovery success.

I have RA and none of their procedures would work as I'm at the point where my joints need to be replaced. They refused to take over my pain management from my doctor, which makes me think they should have a tagline with their company name "Advanced Pain Management Center (except for pain medicine) and I wouldn't have wasted so much time completing a huge packet of paperwork and the time going there. I guess if procedures could help you then check it out, if you need pain care medication management, look elsewhere!

Dr. Louis Liou is one of the best surgeons I have had the pleasure of being a patient of. I went…read moreto see him for a vasectomy, and he was very honest, kind, and considerate during the consultation. My primary hospital is Beth Israel, and my PCP is affiliated with them. But due to the fact that the larger city hospital were booked until mid summer or the fall, I went outside of my comfort zone and made this appointment with the Cambridge Health Alliance Surgical Specialties and the Somerville Hospital. I wanted to have the procedure done very quickly, as I had two weeks in between jobs, and they were able to accommodate me. Due to a medication I take daily (NSAID), he did warn me about bleeding being a risk factor after the procedure - and that the risk for bleeding is slightly higher if I did not cease the meds about 7 days off prior to the surgery. I explained that I knew the risks, and would still like to have the surgery three days after ceasing that medication. He agreed. His bedside manner was fantastic, as was that of his staff (especially the older, Italian female nurse - great sense of humor behind a very professional countenance). Even though I was completely exposed, so to speak, the staff and the doctor made me feel very comfortable. It was all done in less than 20 minutes (the procedure itself - time in hospital was about 1.5 hours), and with ice and taking it easy, I've experienced little to no swelling, and no bleeding. His incisions and stitches were perfect. If looking for a vasectomy and you live in the Boston area, I highly recommend this doctor. I come from a family of doctors, and have a lot of friends who are doctors, and honestly - I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to my healthcare and my providers, and I can say with full confidence that he is a great doctor, surrounded by a great staff. Just be sure to not be an idiot after your procedure, and follow his orders (and common sense). No rough sex or carrying around furniture all day. Take it very easy - after all - we're talking about a rather important part of a man's body;)
