He did bunion surgery and one year later, my foot is still painful…read more After getting evaluations by other podiatrists, (who are very skeptical about Dr. Kominsky's work and have heard the same complaints before). He put staples and screws in my foot, which I never knew until months later. I never saw any x-rays during the whole process. The surgery he did is so bad that my foot has been swollen for 9 months and is not healing properly. There is a second bunion on my small toe that he never took care of as well. This is almost one year and I will have to go through the whole process again, painful surgery, and off my foot for 4-6 weeks. I found him very pompous & cavalier, caring more for his ego than the recovery of the patient!

NEVER USE DR. KOMINSKY! I went to him with a burning sensation underneath my foot. He took an…read moreX-RAY, played with my foot, told me I have tendinitis and that his pain laser therapy machine would make it go away after 10 sessions. I told him that I power-walked 4-5 miles every day and he told me to "continue doing what you're doing"! Two months and $500 later, my burning sensation had not improved. So he decided to send me for an MRI only to find out I did not have tendinitis after all, but rather a stress fracture which I had most probably made worse by "continuing to do what I was doing". I ended up with a boot for 4 weeks after which I scheduled a follow up MRI for myself! His nurse has no apparent knowledge of what she's doing and the Office Manager tries to hold back information so patients can't submit for insurance. Overall terrible experience.

Five stars for sure!

My emails have been left unanswered, texts have been left unresponded to, and the mailbox for every number for the office I have tried is full and hasn't been cleared for months. To start, I had a great experience until January of 2022, but afterwards, my experience with Got Your Back has been an absolute nightmare. While I paid up front for a 12-session treatment plan, I only received 8 treatment sessions before the office closed with the promise that Dr Klein would be in touch. Months have passed and I received no call from him. To add insult to injury, the office has sent repeated invoices for the treatment I already paid for despite me speaking with the billing office two months ago and them telling me to not worry and that it was simply a clerical error that they would be sorting out. Fast forward to this week, when they sent me a letter saying that I was delinquent on payments and they would transfer my (already paid) balance to a debt collection agency. They have been consistently unresponsive and unprofessional through this whole ordeal. I have received no offer of refund or completion of treatment plan, and instead been hounded for payment which was already processed months ago. Overall, it is a shame that GYBTH has come to this because the care was truly great beforehand. I only hope that this finally gets the attention of the office and catalyzes action. If not, I highly recommend you take your business elsewhere.

refused to see me for specific Interventional procedures I had been referred to his office by his…read morecolleagues for, simply because I made a passing (less than 10 second) comment in a 30+ minutr appt with his PA about how I hate how central sensitization theory is commonly used to under-investigate or under-treat peripheral sources of women's chronic pain conditions, including my own for several years. His PA told me in her response at the time that she (they?) did not view CS as being an exclusive pain generator and that it was also possible to have peripheral generators that had not healed with chronic pain. That was the end of our discussion and it took maybe 2 min of a 30+ min appt. I was at no time told that she was upset with my comments or that there was a conflict with me being able to continue receiving care at the clinic. While I was told they would try to collect my records and imaging prior to my appointment, they did not have any available at my appointment to review, nor did she physically examine me. I mention these last points because when Dr. Desai sent me the following email, it does not seem possible that he reviewed anything at my chart other than the PA's notes and my own paperwork/condition summaries (which detail my prior injuries and success with the procedure as I was asking him to repeat). His email came as quite a shock as a result, given that I was not combative about CS with his initial PA, nor had he or his staff physically examined me to determine whether this or other treatment was appropriate prior to sending that email. If he had worded his email to explain that he understood that CS could be used inappropriately and that was not the approach in his office, or really anything remotely patient-oriented I would not have minded him letting me know that this is a topic we would need to discuss further before continuing other treatments. However, his email struck me as an attempt to pressure to me to agree 100% within his entire chronic pain philosophy upfront in order to continue to access to care at his clinic in general, and that was a huge turnoff as a patient should be allowed to share their past clinical history without fear of it being used against them. On a separate note, as a trained (phd) researcher with expertise in research DEI and ethics issues, I find it upsetting when medical researchers conduct research -- especially using cross-sectional data -- to try to suggest causational links between conditions like CS and EDS. I am in local support groups for patients with EDS (and related conditions), and had over 20 women express similar frustration over Dr. Desai's email and research conclusions. This of course is a problem in academia and medical research beyond this office, but it would be nice if those conducting research cared enough to listen to the concerns of those they are conducting research on, rather than just shutting down conversation completely.
