This is really a great office Fabi was very friendly in greeting me; Andres took my x-rays in a…read morevery efficient, friendly manner, and Dr. Blumenthal gave me cortisone shots in both knees and in one shoulder. She handles the hypos like an Angel of Mercy: no pain during the injection, even in the sensitive shoulder joint. If I ever decide to get knee replacement surgery, Dr. Blumentahl will be the one I ask. Dan Carrison Santa Clarita

I honestly wonder why some people go into the medical field. You REALLY don't have to. I promise. I…read moregot my time wasted today while in EXCRUCIATING PAIN with my left hand. Literally out of nowhere, my hand began hurting Friday afternoon. By Sunday morning, I could barely move my ring finger. The pain? 8.5 out of 10. I have an EXTREMELY high pain tolerance level, which I alert anyone medical I'm dealing with to immediately. After going to urgent care yesterday, I was referred to Dr. Blumenthal because she's supposedly a hand specialist. An X-ray was taken of my hand at urgent care & there's some sort of fragment between the bones of my middle & ring fingers. It could be bone, a growth, or a cyst.. a tumor whatever. An X-ray can just see it, not diagnose it. At urgent, they gave me a very nice, snug wrap, and my referral/ X-ray results in prep for today. So fine. I see THIS doctor today. Her nurse comes in and takes off the wrap... SKYROCKETING my pain to a nearly unbearable level... & says, "Were going to get you a new dressing." Tosses my new wrap in the garbage, then leaves the room for like 15 min. Y'all... I'M IN AGONY. Finally, this Dr. comes in and asks what happened to my hand. I explained that I had no idea. I haven't hit it, nor is there anything that I'm aware of that caused it. My hand is swollen & and hurts, but literally NOTHING has happened. This woman just stared at me, then grabbed my hand & and stared, pressing on the swollen area. I tell her it's excruciating... she keeps fucking pressing, while staring at me like the goddamm Night King on Game of Thrones. Then asks me again what happened to my hand. I said I didn't know. She leaves. A few min later, she comes back and says "Its just VERY unusual to have something come from nothing." She keeps staring. I could tell she DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. Why? Why would it benefit me to lie about it!? Make that make sense! She then asked if I were bit by a dog or cat or if i just slept weird?! Bitch... would'nt you see puncture wounds, ma'am?! There isn't any evidence of a bite from anything... and my X-ray shows something between my bones. Y'all.. she COMPLETELY DISMISSED me. She basically said she didn't know... and was quite cold in her demeanor. She referred me downstairs for a CT scan and just kept it moving. I said... may I have a pain Rx? Motrin isn't helping... She said to just take Tylenol & that she couldn't prescribe anything more because she didn't know why I was having pain?! I asked about my wrap... she opened the trash and there it was.. all surrounded by gross tissues & cotton balls covered with God knows what. She then pulls out a HUGE bandage that is for knees & WRAPS MY WRIST. The pain is my hand... not my wrist. I just can't even. I'm not a big crier, which can make people think you're faking, I guess? ESPECIALLY with the "strong black woman" trope. Because of that, often our medical pain gets dismissed... often to our detriment or death. This is a WELL DOCUMENTED medical pain bias that people who like me face. If you're in pain & look like me? Go see someone else. She doesn't care. Terrible.

I was so lucky to be referred to Dr.Bittar and his wonderful staff 5 years ago. And now I am back…read moreIn 2026 . I am so grateful to have such a caring and efficient doctor and staff taking care me. Dr. Bittar is not only the best orthopedic surgeon that I ever had he is not money hungry and will do everything in his power not to give Surgery if he doesn't have to. Before I went to Dr. Bittar I had gone different surgeon saiid I definitely needed surgery on my Labrum. I decided to get a second option with Dr.Bittar . After viewing an MIR that the previous surgeon had ordered to me do Br.Bittar said there was absolutely no need to do surgery when the previous surgeon insisted that I did. Dr. Bittar immediately gave me two injections that relieved my pain and then referred me to an excellent physical therapy group and I am doing so much better now. I truly feel that he cares very much about the patient more than making money from them. His two main assistants .Norma and Helmet are so kind and very helpful too. I highly recommend this fabulous Dr. and his team I give them 100 stars!!! Thank you all for helping me so very much .....Ike Solomon

My experience at Next Level Physical Therapy was truly... next level…read more I'm 44 years old, and I've lived with chronic pain since elementary school. For as long as I can remember, I thought it was normal to feel uncomfortable every day. If there's a joint in my body, it's probably locked up at some point and sent pain radiating elsewhere. I just pushed through and accepted it as part of life. That changed the moment I walked in. During my consultation, the physical therapist told me something I had never heard before: it's not normal to live in that much pain--and most of my issues are actually fixable. I honestly couldn't believe it. But I trusted the process, and even during that initial evaluation (not even full treatment yet), they were able to release a significant amount of my pain. By the time I left, I was already feeling dramatically better. The staff is exceptional. Emma at the front desk is incredibly kind, efficient, and welcoming--she made everything seamless from the moment I walked in. Tricia went above and beyond, not only with her knowledge but by helping me clearly understand how to communicate with my doctor so I could get the correct prescription for treatment. That level of care is rare. And I have to mention something small that made a big impression: the paperwork. It was simple, streamlined, and took less than five minutes. No repeating the same information over and over like most medical offices. It sounds minor, but it speaks volumes about how well this place is run. My therapist was outstanding, and I even had the chance to meet other therapists I'll be working with--they were all friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping people heal. The entire environment is positive and energizing. You can feel it the second you walk in--patients are happy to be there, which says everything. The most incredible part? I left with about 75% less pain. And for the first time in over 20 years, I've had multiple days where my body actually feels good. I now look forward to my weekly appointments, which is something I never thought I'd say about physical therapy. I cannot recommend Next Level Physical Therapy enough. If you've been living with pain and thinking it's just "normal," do yourself a favor and go. It might just change your life like it's starting to change mine.
