Most people have some time to make that decision and they can familiarize themselves with the procedure and find a doctor they feel comfortable with. Not in my case. I needed someone immediately. I feel I won the surgeon lottery when Dr. Sean Rajaee was the one available to do the surgery. No complications after and recovery was amazing. Dr. Rajaee is someone I'd recommend to my friends and family if they were in need. He is, in a word, the BEST! Also, major props to all his incredible Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics staff, including Dan Alcantara Marcelino, PA-C.

First time meeting Dr Rajaee today. We had an appointment at the Tarzana office…read more Brought my mom in for her knee (and after leaving also her hip). First impressions from our visit is that I like him and what he has to say about my mom's knee & hip. I love the fact that he took x-rays first thing when we arrived and that we were able to do them there and not go to another facility. He read the results immediately and went over the findings. For now, he gave her an injection in her hip to see if that alleviate any of her pain. We go back in six weeks for a follow up. I am very happy that I found Dr. Rajaee. Not only for my mother but for myself if I ever need anything down the road. So far, I'm good right now lol :-) Staff was nice and friendly. Wait time was no issue.

I had meniscus surgery on May 23rd performed by Dr. Evan J. Bachner, MD. Shortly after, my knee…read morebecame severely inflamed, and the pain was unbearable--constant and intense, day and night. I couldn't sleep, and two separate physical therapists were unable to treat me due to the swelling. Despite my repeated concerns, Dr. Bachner and his office dismissed the severity of the situation. On June 7th, I went to the ER at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. I spent 12.5 hours there before finally being admitted. After five fluid taps, they determined I was dealing with a gout flare-up and a bacterial infection in the joint. The ER doctors urgently wanted to perform a washout surgery to clear out the infection and crystals--but my insurance company denied it because they had already paid Dr. Bachner for the procedure. He was completely unreachable, didn't return calls, and only learned about my hospitalization through his neighbor, who happened to be one of his partners. He never followed up directly. On June 10th, I had a second surgery. When I woke up from the procedure, I was in extreme pain--easily a 10 out of 10. I later found out that no nerve block had been administered, despite prior discussions. After days of constant pain leading up to that moment, I couldn't believe it had been overlooked. The anesthesiologist was called back to perform the nerve block after the surgery, which finally gave me some relief. That should never have been an afterthought. Even earlier--at a follow-up after the first surgery--Dr. Bachner looked at my swollen, painful knee and told me everything was "normal." He sent me home without further investigation. It wasn't until I went to the ER that the real issue was uncovered. I have a 10-year documented history of gout, and somehow that wasn't taken into account. On top of all this, I waited two hours on crutches in Dr. Bachner's waiting room for a follow-up, without acknowledgment or explanation. His staff was cold and unprofessional. His own bedside manner was dismissive, and he showed little empathy for what I was going through. When I asked for better pain control, he responded by telling me he had already prescribed more than usual (Tylenol with codeine, which did nothing for me). It felt like he was more concerned about covering himself legally than actually managing my pain. Finally he prescribed something more strong. This entire experience--from misdiagnosis to post-operative care--was mishandled at every step. I went through 10 straight days of severe, unnecessary pain, and I truly believe it was avoidable. If you're looking for a surgeon who listens, responds, and treats you with compassion, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere than Dr. Evan J. Bachner, MD.

I hate a doctor's office that thinks their time is more valuable than yours. I've had four…read moreappointments with Bachner's office and two of those times I've had to wait over an hour. The other two times weren't much better. The first three appointments were all THE FIRST APPOINTMENT OF THE DAY. How are you an HOUR behind schedule with your first appointment of the day? There has never been so much as an acknowledgment of the lateness let alone an apology. I actually left today after I heard the guy in the next room telling the nurse he had been there for two hours waiting to see the doctor. I won't be back. And, yes, they practice the "stick-him-in-a-room-and-take-his-blood-pressure-and-maybe-he'll-be-OK-with-another-45-minutes-of-waiting" method of stalling their patients. Restaurants and doctors and grocery stores with long lines all need to understand that we are paying customers and if they can't show some respect for our time, we'll go somewhere else.

This is a long overdue review. I'm writing it now with the hope that I can help someone else from…read moremy horrible experience. This doctor did a lumbar fusion on me back in 2009 and I have spent the last 16 years dealing with the pain and fall out from his incompetence. The mistakes that he made required multiple corrective surgeries and has seriously impacted my quality of life. Every spine doctor I have seen after Sperling has stated that he botched the procedure. There was a slippage that was not corrected in the nine hour surgery. Therefore, I've suffered severe nerve compression and pain as a result. He was clearly not skilled or experienced enough to do this type of surgery and I paid a heavy price. When he couldn't handle the post op issues anymore, he referred me to another doctor to correct his mistakes. Very unprofessional doctor and office. I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am that I used this person. I didn't get multiple opinions and ended with disabling symptoms that will last a lifetime. To make matters worse, the staff was incredibly incompetent and rude. Don't make the mistake I made - do yourself a favor and go to someone else. I paid too big of a price trusting this person who didn't know what he was doing.

I actually wanted to review POMA Physical Therapy group that is affiliated with Dr. Rumack. They are the best physical therapy I have ever had! It's low key, not splashy and glossy, but it's neat and clean with the best staff you'll ever find: Joe, Patti and Eulain are top notch. They truly care, remember your name, and design a regimen of exercises that you're comfortable with. It's the finest physical therapy as it should be: simple, well understood and well described. Joe and Patti will explain anything you want to know. I got a great deal out of my course of therapy and would recommend them without reservation. When I mentioned the glossy, showy places...I feel like they are all about music and TVs and wall art and the therapists talking to each other. (Hey....ok... ride that bike for 20 minutes!) I felt like they were more like a slick factory than a PT office. Come home to POMA. You won't be sorry.

I recently had L4-L5 spine surgery on April 24 2026, performed by Dr. Alexander Ghasem and I truly…read morecannot say enough wonderful things about him. From the very beginning, Dr. Ghasem impressed me with his professionalism, warmth, compassion, and exceptional bedside manner. In fact, I can honestly say that I have never encountered another physician--regardless of specialty--who made me feel as cared for and comfortable as he did. I was extremely apprehensive about having back surgery and was determined to make sure surgery was an absolute last resort. Dr. Ghasem never pressured me or made me feel like surgery was the only answer. Instead, he patiently worked with me for nearly three years, exploring every reasonable option to avoid surgery. Even though he recognized early on that surgery would likely ultimately be necessary, he respected my concerns and gave me the time and support I needed to reach that decision on my own. After nearly three years of trying everything possible, I finally realized there was nothing left to try and decided to move forward with surgery. Now, I find myself shaking my head and wondering what I was so afraid of in the first place. I only wish I had listened to Dr. Ghasem's recommendation from the beginning because I might have been pain-free three years sooner. One thing that really stood out to me (IMO) is that Dr. Ghasem is not the kind of surgeon who looks at every problem and immediately thinks, "Let's operate." He genuinely wants to help his patients find the best solution, even when that solution isn't surgery. That meant an enormous amount to me, especially given how frightened I was about having spine surgery. I also did a tremendous amount of research before ever scheduling my first consultation. I looked into his education, training, residency, professional background, and even searched for complaints and lawsuits. I wanted to know exactly who I was trusting with my spine and essentially my life. Everything I found gave me confidence that I was in excellent hands. And now, having gone through the surgery, I can say without hesitation that I made the right choice in choosing Dr. Ghasem. If you are considering spine surgery or looking for a spine surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Alexander Ghasem. He is an exceptional surgeon, but more importantly, he is an exceptional human being who genuinely cares about his patients. I will forever be grateful to him for giving me my life back and helping me get out of pain.

I was there for knee pain and all he did was read over my previous doctor's notes (now retired) and we agreed upon my continuation of the Euflexxa injections for my knee. I was shocked that he never even examined my knee durning my first office visit with him. This appointment was over six weeks ago and I am still waiting on an approval for my Euflexxa injection which usually takes 1 to 1 1/2 weeks for the approval. I have spoken with Cecily at the office for help on two occasions. The first occasion, she said the there is a delay with Optum and could take up to 4 weeks for approval. Please keep in mind that I am in knee pain. When I called again on August 10, 2026, Cecily said that she cannot tell me the status of my medication and would leave a message for the person who could help me. This person who Cecily promised would help me, never called me back. Wednesday of last week, I called my insurance provider in order to help me find out the status of my medicine and we spoke with Karen. Karen promised that we would have the medication by last Friday. Once again, Karen nor any other person called me back from Dr. Nadel's office. As of yesterday, I filed a complaint with my insurance provider and the lack of help with Dr. Nadel and the office staff. How can the office staff here ignore someone who's in pain and not work on getting the medication that I have been using to relieve the pain now for a couple of years. This is unconscionable.
