    Dr Polokaf didn't even go over the MRI results with me, I got a shrug and " there's nothing we can…read moredo at this time." Considering how much pain I was in that was the last thing I wanted to hear. However, the condescending man didn't believe I was in pain. When he prodded my kneecap and asked if it hurt and I said yes, he responded with "oh, you're really selling it aren't you." He patronizingly didn't go over options, except to offer a cortisone shot. It was a humiliating experience, being dismissed with the feeling "come back when you're really in pain and there's an actual issue.' All topped off by a snide parting comment from the nurse insinuating if I was really in pain I wouldn't be wearing those shoes. Thank goodness for second opinions. I went to a doctor several friends recommended. He actually went over my MRI results with me, explaining each result including Grade IV chondromalacia. He went over possible treatments and the pros and cons of each and to take my time deciding which path I wanted to go down. Basically, he talked to me like an adult and not like a recalcitrant child wanting surgery for the fun of it. Please don't go to Polakof, find a doctor who will treat you with respect.

    Dr Mary Trumpi, Dora, Trudy and her team are excellent all around!!…read more I initially was a physical therapy skeptic (due to a poor previous experience several years ago in the Bay Area), but Dr Trumpi has made me a believer! I rolled my ankle last summer and I thought I could just handle the recovery on my own... but 4 months on, my ankle was still 2x the size and constantly bothering me to where I couldn't sleep. Before being totally resigned to having to buy different sized shoes for the rest of my life, I finally asked my primary doctor for a referral, but the clinic recommended had a 4 month waitlist and did not accept my insurance. So I went to my trusty Yelp search and Santa Monica Sports Medicine was the top result, and so I decided to book an appointment. Calling the office was a breeze and I had an appointment within a couple weeks. They kept prompt communication and verified my insurance benefits right away, which amazingly helpful (I've experienced many doctor offices that just leave you on your own and tell you to call insurance yourself before booking an appointment). When I came for my first appointment, I was surprised to be seen by Dr Trumpi herself, because I felt my injury was fairly minor... also I couldn't even say it was a sharp pain, just more an annoyance to daily life. Dr Trumpi took her time with me even though asking lots of questions and I felt immediately comfortable with her and that I was in good hands. She wrote up an exercise plan and walked me through a variety of in clinic treatment options and tailored everything to my comfort level, from massage to electrical stimulation and so on. I continued every couple weeks with her and was amazed how quickly my ankle improved. I no longer was resolved to have to buy different sized shoes! She also started treating me for my chronic back pain -- which again, I never thought was a big deal --just life soreness haha, but I now know it's actually something treatable. Thank you Santa Monica Sports Medicine!

The staff has been so accommodating with insurance and even if you don't have insurance the out of pocket is SUCH a good deal for all the different types of care you'll recieve! Dr.Trumpi herself is such a wonderful human being and is just the coolest most down to earth person and doctor. I kid you not, the first adjustment/ "back crack" I received from her I was in tears of joy afterwards. I felt amazing and it actually lasted! I can't thank her enough for the difference she's made for us both. We come in fairly regularly for sports massage and adjustments and always look forward to it. Thank you so much to everyone at "Santa Monica Sports Medicine"! I couldn't recommend them more and I'll continue sharing with everyone I know.

So when I more recently got knee pain in that knee, I called and made an appointment with Dr. M. I waited months to see him but knowing he's the best, I waited. I arrive and am seen by a NURSE. Not saying nurses can't be good but she was not Dr. M. Then I was told, oh he now only sees athletes and people under a certain age (50?). X-rays were taken and the nurse walks in the room and says she knows what's wrong already. X-ray diagnosis is a no no. She didn't ask enough history and barely touched me. She wanted to inject my knee and I almost let her but the whole thing felt wrong. Went for a 2nd opinion elsewhere and based on a thorough history and physical, she diagnosed a ligament (medial collateral) NEXT to my knee joint as the problem. An injection into the right structure relieved my months of pain overnight. So, if you are an athlete or young enough, I'd recommend Dr. M as the very best. But if you're older or not an athlete - ask lots of questions when you think you are making an appointment with him.

While Dr Ehrhart seems to have a good reputation, the surgery did not go well. At the two week follow-up, I told Dr Erhart my pain was significant and I wasn't gaining much range-of-motion. I told him essentially the same thing at my two month follow-up. In both cases he suggested everything was fine. Finally at my four month follow-up his PA took an xray and it was clear the implant was put in incorrectly and/or moved immediately after surgery. I had to have a complete revision surgery in January. Sometimes things just don't go right, I get that. But, Dr Ehrhart didn't really acknowledge my concerns after the surgery, so I lived with substantial pain and pushed very hard to increase range-of-motion for months on a knee that just wasn't going to improve. I did the revision surgery with a different surgeon and have been working hard on rehab yet again. Its going okay, but I'm still waiting to determine what the long-term will look like.
