All 4 had told me the only solution is, to cut off the ligament so I would not be in pain but my wrist will be unstable for the rest of my life. I couldn't live with that solution. So when my brother who is a neurologist recommended for me to see Dr Modabber, I did. He said we are going to handle this conservatively and if it doesn't work we can go to the next step which is surgery. But he said I feel you'll be fine without surgery. He was right and my wrist healed, it did take a while but now 4 years later I am back to everything I did before as well as power yoga. Thank you Dr Modabber! You are not only a doctor but a healer.

I have to comment first on the negative reviews in regards to cost…read more When you make the decision to make the contact, the office staff makes it very clear up front that it will be an out-of-pocket cost and they do not bill insurance. If the doc does a referral, it is your responsibility to confirm if they will be in network. It is up to the patient to submit to their insurance for any sort of reimbursement. They were more than willing to aid me with the documentation that I needed to start that process. Labs, consult/followups, meds...all of it is OUT OF POCKET. I based my decision to see Dr Rand because of my research. His affect is very professional and down to earth. He will base his opinions and treatment/care off of your history/labs and will support your decisions if feasible. I did not once feel as if he is "in it for the money."

I want to be fair and make clear that Dr. Rand McClain and Nurse Rita were excellent. In my…read moreexperience, both genuinely care about their patients and went above and beyond to help me. Unfortunately, my experiences with other members of the office staff were very different. On one occasion, I needed therapeutic phlebotomy based on my physician's recommendation. The locations initially provided by the front office were not practical for me, and I explained that I needed medical direction because this was therapeutic phlebotomy, not simply donating blood. After I expressed my frustration about not receiving adequate assistance, I received a call from a physician who responded to me with, "What is your problem? Do you want us to do everything for you?" I found that response extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. Months later, I was driving roughly 50 miles to the office for a procedure I had coordinated with Nurse Rita. Because traffic had made me about 10 minutes late, I called the office while I was on my way. The front office told me I wasn't on the schedule and would not allow me to speak with Rita, even though she had coordinated the procedure. The final issue occurred when I missed an appointment because I was called away to respond to an emergency as a member of a SWAT team. I immediately contacted the office and apologized. I was told I would be charged for the missed appointment before management would even review the circumstances. When I asked whether management would speak with me before charging me, I was told no the charge would come first. At that point, I canceled my future appointments and decided I could no longer entrust my care to the practice. What makes this especially disappointing is that Dr. McClain and Rita are the exact opposite of these experiences. They have always treated me with professionalism and compassion. My issue is with the way I was treated by other members of the office and the apparent lack of consideration for the circumstances surrounding these situations. I am posting this review because I believe patients should know that the quality of the patient experience can depend greatly on who they are dealing with. I sincerely hope Dr. McClain becomes aware of these concerns, because the treatment I received from some members of the office did not reflect the level of care I received directly from him and Rita.

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!

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.

I even was able to SCUBA dive in Hawaii 6 weeks out. I am impressed with the level of activity I am able to sustain. I have a little bit of discomfort and I baby my knee at times. I don't have swelling. I am surprised at my range of motion so soon. Everyone is different and the first 3 weeks post surgery were awful. I severed my ACL skateboarding. Other than the wait to get in for an MRI and long office visit waits. Be prepared. Bring a book. A good book. The office staff is busy but they do follow through if you leave a message. Post Op pain management was an issue. I iced, I elevated, and I took the pain meds they prescribed. I honestly have to say they did not work. They simply did not touch the pain once the block wore off post-surgery. There were times when I felt absolutely anxious, depressed, and in the absolute worst pain I have ever experienced. Having a baby via c-section was nothing compared to this. I had good post-op​ pain management. Things have changed and most surgeons flat out refuse to prescribe opiates for pain. This is an issue for people who have never had substance abuse problems and are in need of short term pain relief. I think a lot of where I am now is due to a highly skilled knee surgeon and having a take no prisoners approach to get​ back to my former dexterity. Yoga is a life-saver. I am not a sedentary person. My job is very active and I have a young son that keeps me running. Long story short. You won't find a better surgeon for knees than Mandelbaum. If your insurance covers him do not think twice. That is his specialty and he does hundreds of knees a year.

However,…read moreI was fortunate to end up in the wonderful hands of Marisa Neumann, DPT, who properly diagnosed it as an old right sacroiliac joint issue that had been caused many years earlier from a ballet injury. This resulted in my having to wear a boot for six weeks for a fractured toe, which, at the time, had a heel on it. This threw out my pelvis causing the sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain. Marisa's careful treatment, including manipulations, stretching and strengthening exercises, and the pilotes reformer has resulted in a significant reduction of pain that I thought I would just have to live with, as well as an overall sense of increasing strength and well-being. Marisa's high intelligence, careful listening, kindness and sensitivity to one's state of mind as well as one's body, always leaves me feeling hopeful and in a great mood! I can't recommend Marisa enough!

I was advised to go to this doctor because at the time my roommate was an image technician (ct, xray, mri) at St Johns and dealt directly with patients like myself, and he noted that this doctor was the best in his opinion based on his experience dealing with his patients as compared to the outcomes of other doctors. Later on, I had another surgery on my right elbow from another doctor for a similar situation and the elbow that Dr. Ehrhardt touched has had much less problems. I'm writing this review because I was looking up Dr. Earnhardt for one of my friends injuries and noticed that he had some negative reviews.

From the first consultation, it was clear I was working with someone who genuinely cares, listens, and knows his craft inside and out.
