I had chronic pain in my right shoulder for over 8 years, due to a series of gymnastic and martial…read moreart related injuries. Over the course of traeting my shoulder I tried acupunture, ART, RRT, massage, clincal fasting, physical therapy, modaility training, and a host of both topical and oral mediacations. All roads pointed to arthoscopic surgery. Based on MRI results, and the opinions of many leading specialists, I was a classical candiate for arthscopic surgery of the glenoid labrum, with various aneterior tears from noon to six. I was also looking at a biceps tenodesis to remove the long head of my biceps tendon. I was dreading surgery and thought that there was no other alternative. Then I found Regenexx. The Regenexx Procedure on my right shoulder has greatly improved the functionality of my shoulder and reduced the chronic pain. I would recommened the regenexx procedure to anyone with chronic shoulder pain who is either contemplating arthoscopic surgery or who has been examined by a medical professional and been deemed a candidate for arthoscopic surgery. I am so glad I tried the Regenexx Procedure. Please give this procedure a try before attempting any invasive surgery. You will be glad you did.

I've been trying to work with Derrington orthopedics for some PRP/Stem cell treatments. There has…read morebeen much confusion. Treatment was suggested. I placed a deposit. I had received information through MRI imaging contradicting what Dr Derrington recommended (no meniscus tear in my knee), the description/path forward was unclear. An hour after placing the deposit I tried to cancel. They at first tried to not refund. Then agreed but by check that to my knowledge was never sent out. They've stopped communicating at this point. So I've disputed the charges on my credit card. It's under investigation. I'll update review as situation unfolds.

Appointments are hard to schedule…read moreso you have to schedule 2 months ahead to be safe (no online scheduling, phone only), and now they've started canceling my appointments 2-3 days out with almost no options for alternative appointments given how jam packed they try to make the schedule.

I searched for two years to find this amazing Doctor. Dr. Samagh and his team, Garrett PA and…read moreKristi who runs the office are absolutely amazing. I adore them all. They all made a very scary situation much easier. This was my second exact surgery and Dr. Samagh was kind and caring, and has such great bedside manner, something lacking in todays doctors. My surgery was so much easier than my first surgery two years ago, and my healing has been smoother with the help of both Garrett and Kristi's help. I would not hesitate ever turning to this group if you ever need surgery. They are at the top of game, and have new and innovative ways to get results that others don't. They specialize in areas where others really don't know what they are doing. Trust these people.

I attempted to see this provider and although I did not end up seeing him for a number of reasons,…read moreI will say that his scheduling/admin staff is incompetent. They are not rude, but they lack any sort of logic or practice coordination skills you would expect such as replying to emails, telling you critical things that you should know about the practice, returning phone calls, following up after saying they would, giving correct information about scheduling an appointment or basic insurance coordination. It is asinine any doctor would have office staff this poor and it reflects negatively on the provider. I wasted about a month trying to see him in no small part due to the incompetence and lack of professionalism of his staff.

As a PT, he has always been one of my top referrals for orthopedic consultation and surgery. I have always respected the time he spends with his patients, results from surgery as well as his bedside manner with patients. Recently, I had my own orthopedic issues that resulted in having surgery on my knee. From start to finish, Dr Loren was terrific! He took time with me and explained his concerns. He respected me and my input about my knee. I know, from prior patients I have treated over the years and from my recent personal experience, that he takes his time and considers every surgery he does to be significant and that he approaches surgery with the utmost precaution and precision. I appreciate that very much! I also appreciated his call the night after surgery to check on me and to share what he found. My recovery was quick and I experienced minimal pain. I am back to the things I enjoy without the fear of my knee getting stuck or giving way. Dr Loren has always been a top orthopedic referral for me. After having him complete my surgery, I can confidently say that my personal experience strengthens my recommendation for his orthopedic care and surgery. Thank you Dr. Loren for your kindness, excellent care and a great surgical result! Betty Parmenter

Dr. Edmund Evangelista is truly an exceptional physician, and I cannot recommend him highly enough…read more He treated me for about eight years at Community Orthopedics in Mission Viejo immediately after my injury, and during that time he consistently provided thoughtful, compassionate, and expert care. When he moved to San Diego, I had to transition to another doctor, and unfortunately my back progressively worsened over time. Eventually, I felt completely out of options and decided to book an appointment to see Dr. Evangelista again--driving down to San Diego specifically to see him at San Diego Orthobiologics Medical Group. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. He immediately identified a significant change on my recent MRI compared to my previous imaging--something that could clearly explain my rapidly increasing pain. His attention to detail and clinical insight were impressive, but what truly sets him apart is his integrity and honesty. Instead of recommending a procedure at his own practice, he referred me to his former colleague who specializes in the treatment that would be most beneficial for me right now, even though he could not perform it himself. That level of selflessness and patient-first care is incredibly rare in medicine. The facility itself is excellent--very clean, modern, and welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and professional, and you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you walk in. I also truly believe in what they are doing there; they are clearly focused on the most up-to-date procedures and technology, and it shows in how knowledgeable and forward-thinking the team is. I will absolutely be back there in the future, but I am genuinely grateful that Dr. Evangelista sent me to the right place for my immediate needs at the time. That speaks volumes about his character and commitment to doing what is best for his patients. Dr. Evangelista truly takes the time to think through each patient's situation, explain options, and guide you through difficult decisions with empathy and clarity. I trust him 100%, and I am so grateful to have him as part of my care team again. If you are dealing with spine or orthopedic issues and want a doctor who is brilliant, ethical, and truly cares about his patients, Dr. Evangelista is the one to see.

He is just such a sweet guy too. Very humble and cordial. He is upfront, tells you what to expect upfront and actually see you himself for aftercare and check ups. His team is also fantastic. Caring and they keep everyone up to date on whats happening when your person gets out of surgery, what to expect and what to do. Just all around you feel that everyone is in the best hands. Hands down, I would recommend him every time and I actually do every time someone asks me about a surgeon here, as I also work in the Medical field.

I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Patel. My experience with this doctor and his entire office staff…read morewas wonderful. Dr. Patel listened when I explained why I was there, and did an examination based on what I said was bothering me (as well as reviewing the information sent to him by the referring physician and the results of the x-rays they did in his office before I saw Dr. Patel). He explained and showed me the problem in a way that I could clearly understand. He then explained the different options. The option I chose to go with involved what I knew, and he confirmed, would be two painful injections. He was so skilled in doing those injections; they were indeed painful but I believe they were a lot easier to tolerate due to his skills. He is professional, personable, very through and very knowledgeable. I felt like he really carried. A word about his office staff; every single person I encountered from start to finish, including the person who called me to schedule my original appointment was wonderful.
