I want to thank Dr. Nassif, his entire Newport office staff, and all of the Hoag nurses at the Irvine hospital who were amazing throughout both surgeries. I was able to go home the same day and was cleared for full activities after only eight weeks. I jokingly, but honestly, tell people that I'm the Bionic Man now! Having both hips replaced has made such a difference in my life, and I'm incredibly thankful to Dr. Nassif for getting me back to full health so quickly. I couldn't be happier with the results or more appreciative of everyone who cared for me along the way. Thank you, Dr. Nassif and team!

I was told I may need emergency surgery and to follow up with a surgeon. Saturday, Dr. Natisha Jensen called me and followed up with me giving me information as to what was going on and that I should see her Monday at 9am. On Monday, I met her and she had the most amazing bedside manner and made me feel comfortable about having surgery the next day. Tuesday, was surgery day and my nerves were terrible. She took amazing care of me and I had a quick and successful surgery. The whole staff was amazing. I was so scared but I was in great hands. I couldn't be more thankful. Throughout pre op all of the nurses let me know how amazing she was and how if they had surgery they would want her. They referred to her as WONDER WOMAN! I would recommend her to anyone!!! It was a overall great experience and she followed my needs when it came to breastfeeding as well. Thank you so much Dr. Jensen and everyone on the team as well!!!

My first impression was a team that was ready for my appointments and Dr. Beanes was on time to ALL my appointments. That is a huge step for modern healthcare and made an already anxious patient more comfortable. Dr. Beanes' bedside manner before, during, and after the procedure was fantastic. He has empathy, spoke about the process in simple terms, and was very thorough in his explanations. His follow-through after the procedure and in with follow-up visits was no different: punctual, caring, thorough, and with genuine happiness that my procure was a success and I was on the mend. I have had zero issues since my surgery and to be honest, I feel like a new person. I highly recommend Dr. Beanes and his time. They are the way medicine should be!

I would say he is good to see if you have a definitive diagnosis but not if you are searching for a diagnosis. My long drive to Newport Beach was a waste of my time and further discomfort.

I used to…read morebounce on a yoga ball to help him fall asleep, and one day when I stood up from the sofa, I suddenly couldn't walk. That moment started a long and painful 3 1/2-year journey filled with countless doctor visits, over seven orthopedic surgeons and several pain management specialists & yet no one truly believed or understood the pain I was in. Everything changed when I met Dr. Iqbal. He was the first doctor who really listened and took my pain seriously. After working with me and understanding what I was going through, he referred me to Dr. Binder for surgery and that referral changed my entire life. Dr. Binder performed a microdiscectomy on my lower back, and within months, I went from being in constant, debilitating pain every single day to being completely healed. His precision, skill, and confidence gave me hope, and his kindness and bedside manner made me feel safe and understood. I am eternally grateful to both Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Binder, two truly exceptional doctors who not only treated my condition, but helped me reclaim my life after years of pain. If you're struggling and starting to lose hope, please know that the right doctors do exist and for me, that was Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Binder.

I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and at 32 years of age, I had already endured ten…read moresurgeries in ten years; these included two multi-level spinal fusions at C4-T3 and L3-S1, and a kyphoplasty to repair a fractured vertebra at L1. When I needed a third fusion to stabilize both SI joints, my insurance denied it, and my previous doctor was unwilling to appeal on my behalf. After two years of fighting for approval on my own, I found Dr. Jankowski through a Southern California EDS Facebook group. I was physically and emotionally exhausted, and honestly desperate -- I'm so grateful I found him when I did. From my very first appointment, he was kind, efficient, and genuinely knowledgeable about my rare and complicated condition, and it meant so much to finally feel understood. He assured me he was on my side and would fight for the surgery I needed, and he meant it. His office manager, Paritash, got to work immediately, submitting appeal after appeal and keeping me updated with such care every step of the way. Dr. Jankowski personally advocated for me by writing a detailed letter to my insurance company on my behalf, and again during an extensive 40-minute peer-to-peer review phone call. Thanks to his persistence, my surgery was finally approved after several rounds of appeals. He was so reassuring and compassionate heading into surgery, and he stayed in touch throughout my hospital stay, even when my pain proved harder to manage than expected. My incision healed beautifully, and he went out of his way to order collagen-based bandages, knowing EDS patients often heal poorly after surgery. Paritash arranged my home health care and physical therapy right away and was always warm and quick to respond to my calls and texts. When managing my drains turned out to be more complicated than planned, she even came in on her day off, when the office is normally closed, just to remove them and change my bandages. Despite Dr. Jankowski being out of town for part of my recovery and my surgery falling right after Christmas, his team made sure scheduling follow-ups was never a hassle. It's been three months since surgery and two months of physical therapy, and the chronic back pain caused by my hypermobile joints has almost completely disappeared, dramatically improving my quality of life and allowing me to return to in-person work after being practically bed-bound most of the day. I could not be more grateful that I found Dr. Jankowski and Paritash when I did. Dr. Jankowski gave me my life back when I had all but given up hope of salvaging any remaining pieces of my youth, and he has opened up a world of possibilities to me. I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude. I cannot recommend him enough, especially to fellow patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

I first met Dr Jankowski in 2021 2 days after a chiropractor visit. I went into the ER with…read moreexcruciating pain in my upper neck, back and arm. I expected a cortisone shot and some pain meds but my spine was much, much worse than I'd know. He performed a cervical fusion in C4-C6 - creating a very small incision on the front of my neck. (You can no longer see the scar.) He was very careful with the survey, doing what was necessary without anything unnecessary. He was thorough and explained what he did (I'm sure he did prior to the surgery but I was too medicated to remember) but he did explain to my family. This past March, 2026, I felt a mild strain in my mid back and awoke the next day to unimaginable pain which dictated another ER visit. As I was quickly (within 10 minutes) being pushed out of the ER (like someone seeing drugs) because that attending Dr "does not image backs in the ER. Go home and call a specialist" I was finally able to get the attending to reach out to him who said to do imaging. Turned out I had MULTIPLE discs that had calcified against my spine. Had it not been for Dr Jankowski I would have been sent home and may still, 3 months later, been seen for my pain. Prior to the 1st of 2 surgeries he has to do this visit, Dr Jankowski shared with me how serious the surgery and was clear, upfront and candid about the potential negative outcomes of the surgery. He was clear that moving forward with surgery was completely dependent on my decisions. He had a very good bed manner and I could tell he was sincere. He ended up putting 9 screws and 2 rods in my mid spine. There isn't another doctor I would have trusted to do this surgery and I am thankful every day for his amazing skills! He performed 2 surgeries, one week apart which have allowed me to still be able to walk and (once I'm healed...) have use of everything. He continued to check in on my progress while I was in the hospital as well as did his Nurse Practitioner who was also amazing! She was just lovely! She checked in on me every day and was clearly an expert and very respected (as well) within the hospital. He is hard to get time with - don't expect to be seen same week you call as he is good and he's busy but his office manager is great and texts which is really helpful!

Rushed out of the room just as abrasively as he entered. Wow. My child was left wondering why he was so rude and whether she did anything wrong. Waste of time and money.
