DR Saluta was not honest with me! He pushed the knee replacement saying that afterwards I would be able to walk .However,he failed to tell me that I was in the final stage of osteoarthritis in that knee. I had massive bonespurs and effusions in that knee. Other doctors have admitted too late that the surgery should not have been done. Now I have had 5 surgeries I cannot walk or stand alone . read more

Dr Saluta has done both my hip replacement surgeries. After my very good outcome with the first one I was determined to have him do the second one. As well as being an excellent surgeon he very easy to talk to. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Saluta is first class: knowledgable, professional, approachable, patient and no ego. After reviewing the MRI for my torn Achilles, he explained my injury in detail, answered all my questions (diffusing my anxieties) and much to my surprise and delight, recommended the non-surgical treatment option. It's refreshing to see surgeons these days not recommending surgery off-the-bat as there may be other less invasive options that can be just as efficacious. For that, I am grateful. His team of support staff, especially Margarita, was super nice and supportive. Thank you! read more

Dr Saluta is awesome He did two hip replacement surgery on. One last year and the second one this year. Both my hip fill great and have almost recovered fully. Dr Saluta gave me great information on how to properly take care of both my hips, so they could last many years. He and his team are fantastic and I really appreciate them! Thanks y'all! read more

I broke my ankle on August 29, 2020 and dr Saluta perform surgery on my ankle. I was very satisfied and he gave me a lot of hope . I'm back on my feet again. THANK YOU SO MUCH read more

If I could give zero stars if I woukd!! surgeon left us waiting to take a call during a surgery evaluation & said he had other patients waiting, didn't review MRI report that clearly said I had lisfranc injury, when surgeon did his own weight bearing X-ray he then agreed with mri. At first surgeon Suggested cast & said " you don't want surgery where I put plates & screws and then u need a 2nd surgery to remove" after doing his own X-ray surgeon then said "that surgery I told u that u wouldn't want well u need it" To top it off I'm sitting in wheel chair & his office manager argued with me & insisted I work on a surgery date, no one should ever deal with anything like this when going for surgery evaluation read more

When I broke my leg back in August 2019, I didn't know who to see for my leg. I was told about Dr. Saulta which I am very happy with, he took great care if me. He told me to do streches everyday & of course I had physical therapy after my cast came off and I wore the boot as well. If you ever need a great Orthopedic then Dr. Saulta is your man. I highly recommend him with 5 stars. read more

I'm disappointed that I was left to ask question I am not educated enough to k ow to ask. A doctor should be asking some common questions. I was not asked about anything! Jeez! He was nice and cordial enough but I really need to know what to expect. Zero! read more

Solid doctor. Came here after seeing another ortho I did not like and getting an authorization for a "second opinion" referral. Dr. Saluta treated me with kindness and respect and took his time answering all my questions (broken ankle). Not only was his care exceptional, but his MA's are highly knowledgable and kind as well. Excellent treatment from beginning to end. read more

My fist experience wih this office was horrible. They were more concerned with my insurance than the fracture in my foot. My primary dr. Referred me ro this office and i am embarrased for him. First impressions are every thing. This was not a good one. Maybe instead of ticket takers answering the phone perhaps someone that cares would be an improvement read more

Dr. Saluta did an AMAZING job on my knees. I had both replaced within the span of 2 months and each time I was back on my feet within a day. You have to do the rehab, but within 6 weeks it was like I never even had the operation! His office is also very organized and accommodating. when ever i would call they knew me by name and always assisted me with whatever I needed at the time. I would strongly recommend you see Dr. Saluta if you need to have your knees replaced. read more

Best Doctor ever Very Professional, caring and knowledgeable. I broke my ankle in 3 parts and Dr. Saluta gave me 6 months Disability and it helped me really good to get back on my own. I recommend him Dr. Saluta to who ever has broken bonesThe Best!!! read more

Dr. Saluta himself deserves a five-star rating. He is an excellent physician, very knowledgeable and thorough, and took the time to explain my injury and possible modes of treatment. The staff, on the other hand, deserves one-star, at best. Last I checked, I was paying for this care. Then why am I made to feel as if I should be honored to be receiving treatment at this facility? First, the front desk employees were not professional. They spoke to me as if I was one of their peers and not a paying patient. Secondly, my appointment was scheduled at 915 am and I was not able to see the doctor until 950 am. I understand that a wait is sometimes in order, but 35 minutes? This delay in my appointment cost me a $61 parking ticket as my meter expired after one hour. Oh yeah, they do not validate parking. Overall, I was extremely disappointed in the professionalism of the office, not in the care of Dr. Saluta. No forewarning was provided regarding the delay in my appointment and the subsequent resulting parking ticket. Additionally, I am a paying insurance holder, treat me accordingly and not as if you are doing me a favor for providing me with the care that I am subsequently paying for. read more

No. No. and No! Dr. Salutha was the Dr. I choose to give me a second opinion regarding my condition. He gave me the same exact diagnosis as the first Dr. and I decided to use him as my surgeon. To begin, his office staff wrote 7:30am in my pre-op paperwork as the time to be at the hospital. Three days before the surgery I receive a call from his scheduler and she tells me to be there at 8am. On my way to the hospital I receive a phone call at 7:30 inquiring on why I'm not there yet? I explain that I was scheduled to be there at 8am and I'm only 10 minutes from arriving. Once at Good Samaritan the pre-op madness begins, blood work, urine in a cup, paperwork, etc. The Dr. comes in briefly, scribbles on the surgery spot and disappears. The anesthesiologist comes in and does most of the explanation regarding the surgery. 7:45am turns to 9am and I am still waiting for surgery. 9am turns to 11am and I am getting nervous. Having too much time to think before a surgery is not a good thing. 11am turns to 12:30pm. All I am told is that the Dr. Is running behind schedule. I should also include in this review that I was given a "nerve block" on the surgery site by a anesthesiologist at Good Samaritan. This so-called block NEVER took effect and I proved it to the nurses by getting up to walk to the restroom. At this point it's past 1pm and I have not seen the Dr. or been given any updates. I had enough with Dr. Saluta's unprofessionalism. It was only fair that he keep me informed or at least re-schedule me if he was going to be over 5 hours late. I also became alarmed with the medical mistake made by the anesthesiologist. I did not go through with the surgery and will never go back to his office nor recommend him. read more

Jonathan Saluta, MD - Dr. Saluta's information. - Orthopedists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr. Saluta was my mothers surgeon for both of her knee replacements and we could not have asked for better results. My mother had suffered for years with diminishing cartilage in both of her knees to the point where she was unable to walk for 10 minutes. She tried all types of medicines, injections and home remedies only to come to the conclusion that surgery was the only option. We asked around and Dr. Saluta came highly recommended. From the first appointment his warm personality, attention to detail and genuine empathy put us both at ease. The first operation was such a great success and the recovery time was so short that the second knee replacement came soon after and within a year of the first appointment my mom was walking like she did when she was a much younger woman. We cannot thank Dr. Saluta enough for giving my mom her life and independence back. Its more than a year since the last operation and she is happy and full of new found energy. She even walks the neighbors dogs everyday just because she can now. read more

Dr. Saluta was fantastic! He was able to look at my problem and right away knew what happened and what I needed to do. He answered all of my questions thoroughly as well as helped me with best next steps and had great bedside manner. His x-ray tech was great too! His building is under construction but parking was still easy. Thanks Dr. Saluta for helping me! read more

Dr. Saluta helped me walk again after a terrible lis franc fracture (with my foot broken in 8 places total) after a traumatic ocean cliff accident, and that was a miracle to me. He was highly skilled, knowledgeable, & compassionate, and he worked with ME as an individual, responding to my cares, needs, and concerns, and tailoring expert care built on a relationship of mutual trust. That is what I needed in my complex foot surgery and long recovery process, and I recommend him to anyone seeking the same. Yes, it may be hard to get that first appointment and (sometimes) to schedule followups, as his office is very busy, likely for good reason. Yes, you may sometimes have to wait in the office for your appointment if the office is very busy that day. However, if all you care about is a fast, speedy, uncrowded doctors office without any regard for the actual surgeon, knowledge, care, skill, treatment or the track record of actual successful surgery and stellar recovery, go elsewhere. If you want excellent care, top-notch skill, and a doctor who listens and treats you as a human being, please go to Dr. Saluta. Highly recommend. I was able to walk 7.5 miles on my birthday in Yosemite less than one year after my surgery. Don't think it gets any better than that. read more

Unprofessional, rude, uncaring jerk. Is not able to communicate professionally nor able to fulfill any medical requirements. Completely untrustworthy read more

Nice enough guy. Maybe even a good surgeon, I don't know. What I do know is that I will not be returning to this office. I'm writing this review at 5:08 pm. I was scheduled for a 3:45 appointment. Nothing about this is acceptable, Doctor. You need to do better. read more

Dr Saluta took care of my Mothers knee surgery .He did an amazing job .My mother is doing well .And I definitely recommend Dr Saluta .Also would like to thank him and he's staff for treating my mother well .thank you so much read more

Dr. Saluta preformed knee surgery on my grandma in 2015, fast forward to 2019 and she is still walking without any complications. We would 100% recommend him and his office. After struggling for months looking the right person to preform this surgery we found him and honestly we are so grateful. Considering that we have heard many horror stories from my grandmother's friends that have had a total knee replacement as well, she is so happy that she does not have to go through any complications. She was up and walking after 4 weeks from her surgery and after a few more weeks of physical therapy she was back to walking without a cane. To this day she has had no issues what so ever. The scar that was left was also very minimal! She is very happy with her experience, as am I. read more

Dr Jonathan Saluta performed my hip replacement surgery last April 8th , 2019 at the Good Samaritan Hospital . He's been my ortho doctor for the past 2 years and has treated me with pain management first before deciding on surgery. I can truly say that he is a pro patient doctor which I think what we all need. More so , I am thankful and blessed that I found him because in my experience , he did an excellent job on my hips . Not only is he gifted with that amazing skill, he is also great in follow ups and very patient with me, as well as to others from what I heard. I did my homework too and asked about him from people I know who happened to have worked with him in same hospitals he's associated with . In addition, the Good Samaritan Hospital and staffs were great and provided a comfortable atmosphere and hmmm... food was great, you get to choose from their menu which where personally prepared from their resto... nothing like 'hospital food'... Sincerely, Daisy read more

Dr. Saluta was amazing, he helped my father thru his two knee surgery's. The outcome was excellent, with Dr. Saluta's expertise and my fathers daily exercise movements, my father is now walking perfectly. He went from his legs being cricked and needing a cane, to not needing it anymore and walking straight. My father is 72 years old. I am really thankful with Dr. Saluta for helping my father being more active and happy. read more

Dr Saluta is a super amazing surgeon! My mom foot surgery started on Feb 2019 and final check up Oct 2019. He treated my mom professionally before and after her foot surgery. He took the time to explain the long process that she will go through and what to prevent to have better recovery outcome. My mom's foot surgery was very successful. My mom is walking independently like nothing happen to her. She is back doing her active lifestyle. There's is a wait to endure in the waiting area to bee seen by him, but it is worth the wait as long the outcome is positive . In my opinion there is a wait because Dr Saluta really takes the time to talk with his patient and their family member to ensure all questions are answered to keep us at ease . A million thanks to Dr Saluta! read more

Dr. Sauta repaired my torn achillies from playing basketball. I couldn't ask for a more down to earth doctor who took his time to educate me on all my options. I even recovered faster than expected. read more

Dr. Saluta is a very friendly and knowledgable doctor. They always make me feel very at home at his office. After my surgery I healed much faster than expected and I am back to my very active lifestyle. Thank you Dr. Saluta and your staff. read more

My best friend (female, early 60s) was in severe pain and knew it was time for a much-needed, and long-overdue, total hip replacement. Choosing a surgeon for any operation can be daunting task. Despite its overall success rate for most patients, a hip replacement is still a major procedure. Starting with our initial consultation, Dr. Jonathan Saluta put us thoroughly at ease. After giving us a very comprehensive evaluation, he patiently listened to our concerns and answered each and every question. Dr. Saluta is truly an empathetic professional with whom we felt we could communicate openly and honestly. He then graciously gave us all his medial credentials and specific information about his experience, including how many times he has performed the procedure and what his success and complication rates are. (Be sure to ask this of any surgeon you consult). Once we felt confident that we had all the information we needed, he even suggested we get a second opinion for our own peace-of-mind. We left feeling we had found the perfect surgeon, but got the second opinion anyway (and that doctor completely agreed with Dr. Saluta). The staff at The Los Angeles Orthopedic Center were all very friendly and caring and made the insurance approval procedure a fairly seamless one. When the day of surgery finally arrived, we were surprised and delighted by the quality of care and all the people who work at St. Vincent - an often over-looked facility in the Downtown/Westlake area of Los Angeles. We found ourselves comparing it very favorably to the more "popular" westside UCLA hospitals. The surgery was a complete success and during follow-up visits with Dr. Saluta and his staff we continued to receive stellar service. We can honestly say, Dr. Saluta has changed my friend's quality of life for the better. And for that, we will be eternally grateful. We would gladly recommend Dr. Saluta, his staff at The Los Angeles Orthopedic Center and St. Vincent without any hesitation to both friends and family. read more

Dr. Saluta is wonderful. He was patient and supportive throughout the pre-surgery process, always took the time to answer questions, and performed surgery on my aunt's knee that left her able to walk normally and without pain. The staff was also very helpful and we could not be happier with the results. Would 100% recommend him. read more

Dr Saluta is awesome... came in here for a second opinion on some knee issues. He is professional & prompt (i hate when Drs keep you waiting!) yet takes his time with you to answer questions. When I finally get around to having another surgery I'll be needing soon, I will definitely go to him to get it done. read more

Dr. Saluta is a excellent surgeon. He performed surgery on my aunts knee and she was up and walking within 4 weeks. And because of his great care my aunt is able to take care of my baby. Without Dr. Saluta my aunt would not be in the great condition she is in to be able to take care of my daughter while I work. I highly recommend him to family and friends. read more

I have been to several doctors concerning my left knee pain.Some said your knee is blown! another one said that he does not like to do surgery (and this is a surgeon) because there may be problems down the line. In the mean time I am having some serious pain and time is ticking.I only have so much sick time to deal with so I need someone to tell me what can be done and how soon he or she can do it. DR.Saluta told me all about whats was going on with my knee and that surgery was needed. So surgery was performed. Everything went very well and the staff @ Good Samaritan Hospital were the best! If your looking for a good orthopedic (knee) surgeon you cant go wrong with DR.Saluta. Hands down one of the best!!! read more

Dr. Saluta is great! I had a bone spur on the bottom of my left foot that had been bothering me for 40 years, and the orthopedic doctors I had seen in the past would not operate on me. Dr. Saluta performed the surgery for me on May, 2015, and I am now walking so much better. He said it would remove about 80% of the pain I was experiencing, and he was correct! I highly recommend him, and his treatment will change your life! read more

After my knee replacement surgery, I had questions. I called his office asking if he had a physician assistant. Receptionist said only at the hospital, but I can transfer you to the medical staff at the back. I waited a few moments - maybe a minute and a half. Much to my delightful surprise Dr. Saluta answered the phone. He answered all my questions in pleasant details. He was not in a rush nor did he rush me. I think he and knowledge/skills are outstanding. read more

Dr. Salute was my surgeon for my knee replacement. Prior to my surgery I couldn't even walk 100 meters. My knee was worn out totally . When I first met Dr. Saluta we discuss every thing about my problem. In my case there was no in other options other than surgery. Dr. Salute didn't waste time to help me. He told me what I need. My surgery was done successfully by the most experienced and professional Physician I ever met. After my surgery because of his follow up and guidance I recover early more than any one expected. Today, thanks to Dr. Saluta I returned back to work without any problem. God bless you Dr. Saluta. Atsede Hagos from Canoga park ca. read more

Last year i got a high ankle sprain and a friend of mine recommended Dr. Saluta to me. Best derision i've ever made for a doctor. He was very informative and professional. It made the entire experience very easy and comfortable for me. The staff was also exceptional. read more

Dr Saluta brings a refreshing take to the profession. Focused on the patient, he's in no rush to push surgical options until all options have been considered and explored. Thorough, friendly and approachable but also calls it as he sees it. I've had several Orthos between Boston, LA, Philly and SF...and many more consultations. Dr Saluta is one I continue to come back to, trust and appreciate. Most recently I leveraged Dr Saluta for a referral and 2nd opinion on an ankle surgery I was having in SF. Once again he was available, took the time to listen and offered some great insight to consider pre and post surgery. Likely most won't seek Yelp to back check Dr Saluta but for whats it worth I'll post it here all the same. read more

Dr. Jonathon Saluta has been my Orthopedic Doctor since 2014. For seven years i could barely walk. Started out at Kaiser, then Harbor UCLA Medical Center. I had good doctors, but when I was blessed to be referred to doctor Saluta, he immediately attended to my needs. I had no cartlidge in both hips. June of 2014 I had the first surgery that Dr Saluta performed so well and with his staff, instructions, and the theraphy in October I was able to have the other hip replaced. By December, I was walking, dancing, etc without any kind of assistance. I have had a new life......Thank you Doctor Saluta read more
