    He's the best. Appointment/x-rays/MRI and diagnosis in record time. He explained result and gave me four options. Could not ask for more.

    January of this year I had an accident and damaged my left knee. I called Community Orthopedic…read moreMedical Group to have my knee looked at. I explained it was pretty bad and requested an appointment ASAP.Two days later I got an appointment with Dr. Kent Marangi. His office is located in a group of commercial buildings off of Crown Valley Pkwy. near Mission Hospital. There is plenty of parking and office staff gave specific directions to help locate their office. There are a number of specialist doctors, so the large waiting room is often busy. One of Dr. Marangi's assistants reviewed my information and I was taken to get X-Rays of my knee. Later, Dr. Marangi came in and examined me. He informed me that I needed an MRI to determine exactly what was damaged because my knee was seriously injured. There is an imaging center located in a separate building for an MRI. I was also given a prescription for Physical Therapy. I made a follow-up appt.with Dr. Marangi to go over the MRI results which showed that I had ruptured my ACL and torn my meniscus. Throughout the process Dr. Marangi explained my options and what to expect with each option. He did not push me into any specific option. Dr. Marangi is very professional and personable. After considering my options, I decided to have Dr. Marangi operate on my knee to replace the ACL and repair my meniscus. The surgical center for this orthopedic group is conveniently located in the same commercial center. Dr. Marangi's staff (Virginia: scheduling and Jennifer: Physicians Asst.) were amazing. They scheduled me, fitted me for a brace and ordered pre-op tests for the surgery. I had the surgery on April 10th. Dr. Marangi and his team took great care of me and it's amazing how fast I am healing. I have been back twice for follow up appts. His office staff are polite, professional and knowledgable. They are great at making sure everything post surgery is progressing normally. I have been able to walk with my brace (locked) and crutches since day one. I have not had significant pain (I stayed ahead of pain) and within days I was only on OTC pain and inflammation meds. I started Physical Therapy 10 days after my surgery and I am on the road to recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Marangi.

    Dr. Michael Burdi performed surgery on my lumbar spine in May 2025. I had 5 discs that were 100%…read morecompressed and one disc that was facing the wrong direction. As a result of the compressed discs I had sciatica in my right leg so bad I could not walk more than 10 yards without having to sit down. The procedure took 8 1/2 hours to complete. Following surgery I was up walking shortly after waking up. Within 6 weeks following surgery I was traveling to Europe and walking 5-7 miles per day on uneven pavement. The sciatica was completely gone. After 8 weeks I was totally pain free. I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Burdi if you are having back pain. Dr. Burdi only does surgery if it is necessary.

    At 55, I was very hesitant to move forward with an L4-5 level fusion, laminectomy, and…read moredecompression surgery for my disc herniation, pinched nerves, and spondylolisthesis--but the pain had become unbearable. Choosing Dr. Burdi was one of the best decisions I made. He is a highly knowledgeable and skilled orthopedic surgeon, and I trusted him from the start. What I didn't fully expect was how challenging the first three weeks of recovery would be. It was tough, but I also understood that this wasn't going to be an easy process. Healing takes time, patience, and commitment. Now, three months post-surgery, I can honestly say I feel pretty good. The pain is completely gone--I actually felt relief right from the beginning. Now it's more about healing from the surgery itself and staying consistent with PT. My advice to anyone considering this surgery: be patient and follow your doctor's instructions closely and lots of ice! Recovery is a journey. While you can do quite a bit after three months, it's important to remember that full healing can take six months to a year, especially when it comes to avoiding bending, twisting, or lifting heavy items. I'm so grateful to Dr. Burdi and for his skills. While nerve pain in the beginning is difficult to manage , I had no nerve damage! After 3 weeks the sciatica pain feeling went fully away! His staff is wonderful too. Pat and Taylor!! They do all the behind the scenes!!

Notably, my meniscal tests during the physical exam were negative. ​However, during the follow-up, the surgeon focused completely on a horizontal meniscal tear identified on the MRI--a finding that is usually degenerative and often incidental or asymptomatic in nature. ​Omitted Information: Other relevant MRI findings were not disclosed. After requesting a copy of the MRI report myself, I learned there was also a semimembranosus (hamstring) tendon tear. This issue is not treated surgically, yet it aligned perfectly with the PA's initial clinical assessment. ​This lack of disclosure regarding alternative explanations left me feeling that the focus was more on scheduling a procedure than on fully exploring the correct diagnosis. I would strongly encourage others to review their imaging reports personally and obtain a second opinion before proceeding with surgery.

She is snarky when it comes to answering phones when receiving feedback, such as if she wanted me to speak slower, she can say can you please slower or if my voice is too soft, she can say can you speak slower instead of making me repeat it 3 times. When given the feedback if you can't hear me because my voice is too soft or because I talk too fast, then you can ask me to speak louder or slower, not can you repeat yourself 3 times. Her response to that her tone of voice was extremely disturbing. She was on a speaker phone where people have heard her entire conversation and surrounding folks definitely provided same feedback and concurred with me. I hope Monica is able to talk to her that she does not take feedback well because Rosemary's tone of voice is definitely not positive experience when she given constructive criticism. Also, there can be a lot of miscommunication between front office here.
