I cannot recommend Dr. Marc and Dr. Joe at the Stem Cell Institute highly enough…read more After suffering an MCL injury, I was weighing several options, including surgery and wearing a CTI brace. Rather than rushing me toward an invasive procedure, they took the time to truly listen to my goals. As someone who wanted to get back to an active lifestyle and back on the ocean as safely as possible, they carefully explained every detail of my ultrasound scans, the specific damage to my knee, and all of the available treatment options. I never felt pressured. I felt educated. Together we decided on regenerative treatment, giving my body the opportunity to heal itself. Six weeks later, I'm back on the ocean riding my board--something I wasn't sure would be possible so quickly. What impressed me most was their honesty. At my follow-up, they told me I was healing so well that I didn't even need another treatment. That level of integrity is rare. It showed me that their priority is the patient's outcome, not selling additional procedures. I appreciate the time they spent with me, the patience they showed answering my questions, and the genuine care they demonstrated throughout the entire process. They were recommended to me by a friend who had an outstanding experience, and I'm grateful for that referral. Now I'm happy to pay it forward. If you're facing orthopedic surgery or considering your options for a ligament or joint injury, I strongly encourage you to consult with Dr. Marc and Dr. Joe before making a final decision. It may not be the right solution for everyone, but in my case it helped me avoid surgery, get back to doing what I love, and let my body heal naturally. I couldn't be more thankful.

I told him I was doing yoga 2-3 times per week, walking 30 minutes everyday and on my feet walking everyday at work. I ice and use NSAIDS as prescribed. Ultimately, he gave me a cortisone injection and said follow up after getting an off loading brace and we will see where we are at. I got the brace and wear it everyday at work and continued with the rest of my regiment. I followed up with Dr. Perrone and I told him I was on board with the MISCHA implant he mentioned, he had me sign something with MISCHA on it and said the MISCHA team would be in touch with me. However, he told me if I had any questions to call Sal Romero, his Surgical Coordinator, and he would answer any questions I had. (He also gave me one more cortisone injection which I asked for) That's where the problem began: I called and spoke with Sal Romero ONCE and he said the MISCHA team would be discussing my case - along with other patients- the following week. 5 weeks later and I never heard back from Sal or anyone at Dr. Perrone's office. I left Sal at least 5 voicemails, 3 emails and maybe even a text message and not one response. I am absolutely disappointed with the level of care I received after my follow up appointment with Dr. Perrone and I can say that the follow up from Sal Romero was pathetic. Even more disappointing is no one from the office has ever contacted me about my concerns or supposed surgery. Here is another hoot, I called my insurance company and they said that after speaking with Optum... no authorization for surgery was ever requested from Dr. Perrones office. I was surprised at that bit of information and eventually went back to my primary to get another orthopedic referral. I can tell you that this group is well regarded by many but I can tell you that's not always true and be careful dealing with this group. Best of luck.

I am a knowledgeable medical consumer, and I was impressed by both his long experience and manner. However, my shoulder replacement is one of his failures and I am left with 30% use of my arm. Even Dr. I said "I am sorry you were part of my learning curve." I WENT TO HIM BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERIENCE! It turns out he didn't realize the prosthesis was too large, which he only discovered during surgery number 2 to correct what he thought was a tendon rubbing against the implant. By then it was too late. I recovered from that surgery only to find that I still have poor ROM and constant pain. What still bothers me is how he could not know the implant was too large. Weren't he and his team supposed to plan out the surgery using information from the CAT scan to avoid such an occurrence? It took 11 months of repeated agonizing weeks during which I could not drive, care for myself, or even cut my own food before he decided to operate again. That was 7 months ago and I know now I will forever be in pain and have limited motion as a result of the shoulder replacement. I only discovered this when I finally sought another surgeon's input and upon viewing my x-rays, he was able to explain why I continue to have pain and poor use of my arm. Oh, and I also have tingling in my fingers since surgery #1. I can barely type. And I'm a writer. As horrible as my surgical experience was, getting though to him or to his people and going for appointments was even worse. I'd wait days for a call back, which often was simply ignored. If he hadn't given me his cell phone number I never would have gotten through. I only texted him when I was in agony and he responded "your nerves are on fire." That was November. I had the second surgery in March. So you can see how slowly things progressed. Sure he's affable. And you can't argue with his resume. But I am not one of his wins. For the rest of my life, I will be crippled due to his failure.

This review is about Dr. Alnajjar. I was a patient of his a year ago when he was at a different…read morelocation on 1245 Wilshire Blvd. Dr. Alnajjar can be very rude and he has an attitude that does not behoove him. Given that he works with people who have broken bones and may need surgery, he really should be less self centered and more compassionate. He should also be sensitive to the fact that many of us wait patiently in his waiting room for several hours until we finally see him. During my first appointment with Dr. Alnanjjar, I initially thought I was in good hands. My view of him later changed because of his beside manner. The short of my experience is that I had a broken hand and my finger was severed. I was rushed to the emergency room. The attendant in the emergency room sewed my finger back on and put me in a temporary cast. I was then referred to Dr. Alnajjar for follow up. Dr. Alnajjar initially told me that I only had to be in a cast for 3 weeks. Accordingly we scheduled a follow up appointment 3 weeks out to get the cast removed. Two weeks later, i.e., one week before my scheduled visit to remove the cast, his office called and told me that I would have to wait another week for the cast to be removed because the doctor was going on vacation. I asked if I could see another doctor in the office. I was told that Dr. Alnanjjar was the only hand specialist in the office. I asked the staff person to please have the doctor call me. When the doctor called me back, he was very abrupt and kept talking over me. He would not let me get a word in edgewise. He told me that he does not create his patients problems. That he just fixes their problems. He even asked me if I made money this way. He was referring to the fact that I was trying to talk to him. It was clear that he was annoyed that I requested a call from him, and that he did not want to be bothered. He also mentioned the trip he planned to Panama. I simply wanted to ask him if the medical assistant in his office could remove the cast in his absence. When he finally stopped badgering me and listened to my question, and to my description of my healing process, he agreed that the cast could be removed by his medical assistant. He also agreed that I was healing well and that I did not need to wear the cast for an additional week while he was out of town. However, it must be empathized that I had to struggle to get this doctor to let me speak. Had he listened in the first instance, our call would have been much shorter. For those of you who have ever been in a cast, an extra week of wearing a cast feels like a long time. Particularly when it is not medically necessary. I was looking forward to having my cast removed after 3 weeks. I did not think I should have to wear it for another week, and continue to miss out on work, because the good doctor was going on vacation. He should have planned to have another doctor cover for him while he was out of town. The good doctor must have said something negative about me to his staff. After that phone call, his staff was very rude to me. That created more stress when I trying to heal. Also, as stated above, each time I went to his office, I had to wait over two hours to be seen. I am self employed and did not have insurance to cover an unexpected accident that would keep me out of work for 3 weeks. The good doctor could have been more sensitive to that as well. It should also be noted that after my cast was removed, I asked the doctor to take an X-ray to make sure my hand healed properly. He agreed. I believe that is something he should have thought of without suggestion from me.
