I called up first thing this morning to cancel a 5:15PM apt and was reminded that this was a same day cancellation and would be charged no matter what. I've seen the scheduling of appointments and how jam packed PTs are with back to back patients, I think there should be some flexibility if patients are trying their best to call within a reasonable timeframe to cancel.

Orthopedic Specialists of North County - Dr. James Layson & Team…read more I truly can't say enough about my experience with Dr. James Layson and his medical assistant, Danielle. From the start, Dr. Layson showed incredible flexibility in seeing me quickly and took great care in evaluating my condition. What impressed me most was his diligence--he even ordered additional imaging right before surgery to fully understand the extent of my patella fracture. That extra step gave me confidence, and I know it made a difference in the outcome of my surgery. Danielle was consistently attentive, professional, and kind, making the whole process much less stressful. I also want to recognize the Carlsbad Surgery Center, where my procedure took place. Every single person I encountered was warm, informative, and supportive. They made me feel comfortable at each step, explained everything clearly, and followed up with a thoughtful note after my surgery. That personal touch meant a lot during recovery. I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Layson, Danielle, and the entire surgery center team for their expertise and compassion. They turned what could have been a very difficult experience into one where I felt cared for and supported at every step.

Dr. Brizzie is truly one of a kind and an amazing doctor. He is by far the best ever. Not only is…read morehe incredibly skilled, but his bedside manner is hands down the best I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. I have been seeing him for a little over two years now, and his care has truly helped me through a tough time. Being young with MS and all the unpredictable muscle pain it has caused me has been difficult. Dr. Brizzie has given me immense pain relief and has significantly improved my quality of life I never thought would be possible. I can do so much more now. I was struggling with this from 2021 until 2023 until I found him that year. The pain after the second Moderna vaccine was unbearable for me. He was the only one to take my pain seriously, and I will never forget that. He actually listens, really listens, and shows care for his patients. Highly intelligent yet humble. That is pretty rare. He is proactive, kind, patient, and always makes you feel heard. I am ever grateful to him for helping me get my upper body pain and muscle pain significantly reduced. The trigger point injections have relieved my pain like nothing else has and given me the freedom to enjoy life without constantly worrying about it. When you struggle, it has been such a relief to have a provider show compassion. He is the best, truly amazing, and I am very thankful. Fusion Physical Medicine's whole atmosphere gives off zen vibes and tranquility. His practice is so peaceful and warm. It's very clean and comfortable. Everyone is extremely kind here from the staff to the nurses. I cannot say enough good things! Unlike how a stressful hospital environment can be, the vibe here is calm and comforting. Plus you do not have to wait forever. This place is such a gem in California.

Dr Cooperman performed knee surgery on my GP, so it's not only a professional referral, but a personal one. At my first appointment, I was really hoping for a quick fix for my hip issues. I thought I had just done some damage working out and I'm an avid hiker. But it became evident from x-ray and MRI that I was going to need a hip replacement. Dr. Cooperman was patient, educational and understanding of my desire to wait. Several months later, I could tell that my condition was worsening (despite lots of stretching, anti-inflammatory and careful exercise) and and I was ready to schedule. At that appointment another x-ray was done which showed more acute need for hip replacement. Dr. Cooperman was unfailingly kind and patient, never once condescended or told me I should have done it sooner. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has interrupted my surgery but once electives are safe again I know I will be in good hands.

Dr Neville Alleyne has proven himself to be both caring & competent when taking care of his…read morepatients. I saw him a few years ago after a 5 year old fusion done at Scripps LaJolla failed. (He had previously operated on a couple of my friends.) His suggestions were conservative care due to my age. (Mid 50s and 2 fusions already. This fusion would fusion 3 levels to repair the one level that failed.) His concern was that I have a 20 year old fusion that could fail someday since the usual life of a fusion is 10 years. He didn't want to see me with my neck totally fused by my mid 60s. He suggested keeping my eye out for new procedures. He was right. Now there is an injection available to help plump up the disc often saving a person from a fusion. There is a reason that Dr. Alleyne was just one of 50 surgeons appointed to the board of the National Spine Health Foundation in 2022. (He has put Tri City on the map.) https://www.tricitymed.org/2022/06/dr-neville-alleyne-appointed-to-national-spine-health-foundation-board/

Long story short, i walked in and explained u had the same pain that i had experienced MULTIPLE…read moretimes before finding a surgeon to remove a tumor/lipoma from my lumbar area. But no... i had to have those 2 EXPENSIVE MRI tests both with and without contrast. He said it PROVED NO TUMOR but needed the most complex surgery with multiple fusions/cage etc using that Mazor Robot he requires to do surgeries. NOW i wonder if that is due to his ineptitude? But do a YouTube search for Mazor Lumbar Surgery. It is utterly BARBARIC compared to the same surgery for this same set of fusions a few years prior that went PERFECTLY. BUT this man ( i will NEVER refer to him as doctor or surgeon!) PERMANENTLY ENDED LIFE AS I KNEW IT when he butchered me. The complications came INSTANTLY and he tried to have me transferred to a nursing home as i was unable to even stand much less walk. I suppose he had a commission for that as well... I was FORCED to sign myself out of Hospital AMA because he refused to release me! My primary care doctor INSTANTLY began finding errors and problems with this surgery. You see he DID find my tumor i told him was my problem. His own words were " it is the BIGGEST TUMOR i have ever seen in my career, larger than a huge grapefruit". Well his next CRIMINAL NEGLIGENT ACT was going ahead and still doing the NOT NEEDED FUSIONS with that barbaric robot. On my 65 year ild body. FAR too invasive for my age... next criminally negligent act ACCORDING TO HIS OWN HOSPITALS INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY DEPT? They explained it was purely criminal to knowingly close me up with a now FOOTBALL size gaping hole in my lumbar spine/back. It developed a HUGE Seroma. Bloody fluid and guts that could kill me untreated. So the cure? MONTHS of weekly visits back to the Cancer Radiology to have them try injecting PAINFUL BEYOND WORDS CHEMICALS into me trying in vain to close this huge, cavernous s open hole inside me. and let not forget my copay EACH WEEK of over $200.00! After months and nearing financial bankruptcy with ME now suicidal i explained to the hospital to find me another surgeon to FIX this or i would just end this miserable life i now had. It took 2 MOTE surgeries by 2 different Surgeons to fix the hole left inside me... by the way. Alleyne never ONCE followed up or offered ANY help. Oh and the kicker? For pain guess what he did for me? Suggested i take TYLENOL! My primary dr BEGGED me to rightfully sue for Malpractice. But this all drug on too long for me to be within the time frame allowed! TriCity Hospital has just informed me they are REVOKING his surgical privileges and calling it his RETIREMENT due to many failed recent surgeries. His MALPRACTICE lawsuits are now beginning to show up online as well. For God's sake, for YOUR sake, avoid ANY contact with this ender of lives. Because i have now spent my entire life in a wheelchair since his April2014 Butchery of my LIFE that completely died thanks to him. Sold my 4wd truck, my 4 Motorcycled, Surfboards, ocean AND white water Kayaks. And i began a life sitting in this chair since. The ONLY time i have ever left this home interior was to go to monthly Pain Management or Doctor appointments... the nightmare of Opioid Pan Drugs began as my life faded away. EVERYTHING ended for myself and wife the day we met this slick incompetent would be (but never WILL be) any sort of qualified medical professional. All for a BARBARIC version of a surgery i had ALREADY had done perfectly just a few years prior. Lastly. It is the most incompetent office staff ever assembled! If they answer tour call never expect any resolution to your query. If you leave any voice mail? FORGET any sort of response. Run. Just RUN!
