I started working with Dr. Leary-Chang earlier this year (starting in the clinic on Madison and…read morethen now in the remodeled Ravenna location). She is the first functional medicine doctor that I have seen and my experience so far have been very, very positive. While I've been interested in trying functional medicine for a while, it could seem a bit complicated in some ways and there are many directions and things one could try for various reasons. Thankfully, Dr. Leary-Chang is an exceptional communicator. She takes the time that is needed to clearly explain things, as well as being a careful (and empathetic) listener (I feel that she has a very clear understanding of my health situation and ANY key factors that could be playing a role). So, she talked with me to develop some priorities and sketch some realistic cost/benefit analyses for each plan of action. In other words, I felt informed but never pressured in the slightest to pursue any plan (for example, if I might be unsure about something, or something may not be financially comfortable/feasible at the time). Again, those types of factors are things she has taken into account when working with me. I wanted to wait until I had a few months on a stable regiment (and to have more time working with her and the clinic) before reviewing, and thankfully, everything has been positive so far. I have noticed clear positive changes in my health (visible and objective - i.e., not just that I 'feel' better, which I do, but I wanted some 'data' (as much as a single patient could note)) and I am looking forward to further progress. (I will update this review in a few months if anything changes that could be relevant.) Additional notes: * The nurses that I've encountered there have all been fantastic as well (friendly, smart and efficient). * Response times to messages sent in the e-portal have been great. * (I can't say anything about the other services Vida offers as I have only worked with Dr. Leary-Chang at this point.)

My experience with OPA Orthopedics was completely unacceptable…read more I was referred to OPA after a serious motorcycle accident on July 18 with multiple fractures that required orthopedic follow-up. They received my medical records and imaging, then lost my file. After more follow-up, I was told my records had also not been properly sent over for review, causing even more delay. Then, after weeks of waiting while I was recovering from broken bones, they finally determined that they do not even accept my insurance. So OPA lost my file, failed to process my records correctly, delayed the medical review, communicated poorly throughout the process, and then only after all of that figured out that they could not see me because of my insurance. That is an unacceptable level of incompetence for a medical office dealing with injured patients. This was not just an inconvenience. I needed timely orthopedic care after a major accident, and their administrative failures wasted weeks of my recovery. I would not recommend OPA Orthopedics based on my experience.

I have chronic knee pain, partly due to arthritis, partly due to being overweight. One I can control, the other I can't. I've been a casual athlete for a good portion of my life, and my body has always been strong, even though I don't treat it the best. When I tell anyone in the medical world this I get a "Yeah, right lady" response because of my weight and age. Then would prescribe exercises intended for senior citizens. Not with Mitch Rock at LBPT. Mitch started with easy exercises and as we moved forward, and he could see that I wasn't fantasizing about my physical strength, he added more and more challenging exercises. I would come away from our sessions feeling that gym exhaustion I felt when I had a good weight lifting workout when I was younger. Muscles were exhausted, mind was ecstatic, endorphins were out of control. My only wish would be to be able to continue, even on a monthly basis, to see what I could add to my routine. Ah, I guess there are websites and YouTube. As for those complaining about paying when they don't cancel within the clinic guidelines, seriously? You blocked out time that another patient could have been scheduled for had you cancelled 24 hours ahead. It's not easy getting that first appointment, these folks are good at what they do, don't waste their time by not showing up.

What I am disappointed with is a change in business practice and most major insurance companies (I have Aetna) and Medicare are no longer billed. Patients are expected to pay up front (my recent bill was $250) and submit to insurance for reimbursement. My care plan had graduated to every other week. I can't afford that and they are not willing to work out payment arrangements. (So much for loyalty). Insurance can take months to reimburse an individual. I can appreciate the impact to a business when insurance is slow to pay them but there has to be a middle ground for the patient. I was politely invited to seek care elsewhere if I couldn't pay. Wow! Just be aware the bills are steep and up front payment expected. The therapists are great but billing practice not so good. Also if you expect to speak with a live person it's rare. You usually play phone tag or send a text and hope to hear back. I really wanted to continue here but I'm afraid I probably can't afford it....

I'm 52 and totally understand the complications and risks with this type of surgery. I felt what could go wrong went wrong. The problem with a lot of people is they do not understand that when something goes wrong, almost all of the time it has nothing to do with the surgeon performing the procedure. Things just happen. Dr. Keem has always been professional and straight forward with me as well as the staff that works around him. I knew the risks and accepted what happened as part of that but Dr. Keem is great. I'd go to him again (this was my second procedure with him...the first being 7 years ago). The staff at the surgery center was amazing. All of them were great compared to my previous visit. I'd like to give a huge shout out to all of those who cared for me but the one that stood out the most was Morgan. She seemed so much of a real person than a robotic nurse that i had experienced with my previous surgery. She was easy to talk to and seemed relatable to my life experiences. Again...all of the nursing staff was amazing this visit but Morgan stands out the most. Thanks again.

NOT RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE WHO VALUE KINDNESS Before I tell my…read morestory, I want to acknowledge that I've been to physical therapy three times in the past for previous intensive sports injuries resulting from wrestling and cross country. I also volunteered as a student athletic trainer for four years in high school. On 07/16, I chose to try AMI Physical Therapy to rehabilitate and resolve tightness in my upper back and calves because of the reviews and the proximity to my residence. When the time arrived for my appointment, I stood outside the door for 10 minutes, as they didn't provide me (beforehand) with the door code (which is required) to enter. During that time, I called the number listed on the door as instructed, but received no response. I was only able to enter when a mail delivery person let me in. Next, when it was my turn to consult with my physical therapist, Aaditi Gokhale, she was extremely rude to me throughout the entire process. As someone with ADHD, I have to remind myself to slow down, and Aaditi politely mentioned this once. After that, I made a conscious effort to slow down, reiterate my thinking, and keep my responses concise. However, she remained extremely condescending and dismissive of my concerns. Before we went through the consultation process, I explained my intentions and goals with PT, specifically that I was seeking muscle release, scraping, etc. She immediately laughed it off and said those were just temporary fixes. While I understand her perspective, I mentioned that I have lists and numerous resources for strengthening my muscles, as I know my body well and how to accommodate it, and was really just looking for this aspect with PT, yet she insisted she knew better and essentially dismissed my input as invalid. She became visibly irritated when I used terms like trapezius or labrum tear shoulder, seemingly perceiving it as if I thought I knew more than her. While the consultation process was demeaning and insulting, I shrugged it off and was still ready to proceed with PT. But again, she was completely impatient, rude, and belittling, explicitly saying, "Did you not watch what I did?" in a very condescending manner and adding, "I am only going to show you this once." This was extremely irritating, yet I still treated her with respect and professionalism. On 07/17, I called at 8 a.m. to reschedule one of my appointments, as we had booked out six weeks in advance. I was able to reach the office quickly and successfully change the appointment. I also wanted to ask a quick question about the focus of future visits and whether we could leave a note about my original request for muscle release and scraping. I was put on hold and transferred to Aaditi Gokhale. I greeted her and began to express my concerns, but before I could finish, she said, "Say that again," followed by, "Is this important and urgent right now? Because I need to go." I replied, "No worries, I just wanted to leave a note. I didn't know I was being transferred..." but she cut me off and said again, "Is this important? I don't have time right now." After that interaction, I was truly baffled by how rude she was and decided to cancel all my future appointments. Even though the location is within a five-minute distance from my residence, this experience was so disappointing that I would rather find another clinic that is actually willing to listen and accommodate my needs instead of handing me a pre-printed sheet of exercises I could have found online. Based on my observations this day and my interaction, this location would probably be beneficial for older adults on simple muscle strengthening exercises, but for younger, intensive athletes (I am 21), this is not your place. I'm sorry to the other physical therapists at this location, who are probably phenomenal people to work with, but this experience with Aaditi Gokhale, was truly upsetting. Thank you.

I recently suffered a serious shoulder injury. I was able to stabilize my condition on my own but…read moreas I navigated our health system, Urgent Care -- Teledoc -- Emergency Room -- Specialist, this resulted in my condition not being taken seriously. I was told to ice it and start PT. When I started with the PT specialist, they immediately flagged my condition as serious and recommended I talk to the folks at LWSS. I met with Dr. Chimes and he was the first doctor that took the time to listen to the issues I was experiencing. Dr. Chimes is direct and blunt in his feedback, a trait some may not like but I really appreciated. Dr. Chimes got me setup for a MRI that took place @3pm. He called me on his day off at 8:30 the next morning to get me in contact with a surgeon. Until I met with the folks at LWSS, I was feeling pretty abandoned by the healthcare industry. I can't emphasize enough my appreciation for them taking my condition serious and putting me on the right track.

This is my full update review (I have removed my prior). TL;DR at bottom…read more I saw Doctor Chimes around one year ago for intense hip and back pain. Right away, it was clear he cares more about his personal time than his patients. He told me he wanted yes or no answers and not explanations to his questions (and wouldn't really let me explain things in full even when it would clarify things). After my MRI, which showed multiple spinal issues (bulging, herniated, parse defect, which is a fracture) and bursitis in the hip, he gave me a shot for the bursitis that had already begun healing on its own. During this time, I continually try to tell him the pain is not in the location of the bursitis anymore. He continually ignores or even speaks over me. At the end, I am again trying to tell him I feel pain elsewhere in my hip even though there is a little reduction after the shot (but I was numbed, so of course it would hurt less). To test my pain, he had me stand up from my chair...once. Worse, when we were done and I was alone in the room, when I tried to get up to put my pants on, the pain was so intense I collapsed. This pain happened again when I got home and tried to take one step up the stairs. During our last appointment, instead of listening to me, he tells me "Your pain doesn't match the MRI", and that tells me I'm about to be dismissed, but then it got worse. He continues with, "In his professional opinion, you just need internal pelvic floor PT". Why? Because I'm a woman...and he asked me 2 or 3 YES or NO questions around sex and did not let me explain the answers... I told him I didn't think so, but he disagreed. Well, after speaking with a Pelvic Floor specialist, she disagreed with his assessment. So, instead of doing that, I went to Evergreen Sports and Spine and met with a new doctor who actually took my pain seriously. With his help and a new PT, another MRI of my hip WITH contrast (he was surprised that Dr. Chimes didn't order contrast as it's needed for specific tears in the hip), we found that I had a CAM Morphology, that should have been showing up on my other X-rays and MRIs, but apparently weren't spotted and/or reported...and that I had a tear in the Labrum of my right hip. Later, they also found I had a small pincer as well. So, a double impingement. I had to have surgery because the surgeon I spoke with next agreed that the tear was too large to not do surgery if I wanted to not be in pain. No arguing. No trying to talk me out of it. They immediately agreed it was the best course of action. I had surgery April 2nd of 2024 to remove my CAM and the Pincer they found, and then repair the labrum. While I'm still in recovery, my pain is down 80% of the time outside of flareups when I over exercise during my strength training. I would never send a woman to him, as she will be dismissed. I was in so much pain that I was crying after collapsing at the office during my last visit. The only reason I am giving this location a 2-star is because the women at the front were incredibly nice. This review is leaving out a lot of other smaller issues I had during my short time there. Maybe if you're a man, it'll be worth it, but if you're a woman, go elsewhere. I cannot, in good faith, recommend this office or Dr. Chimes. TL;DR, Dr. Chimes ignored what I said and then gave a sexist course of action due to my gender. New doctor 2 months later discovered the issue and that I needed hip surgery to remove two bone defects and a tear in my labrum. I have now had surgery and am doing well in recovery with a large reduction in pain.
