    One of the exam rooms in the office.

    Dr. Birnbaum is AWESOME! I was referred to him after dislocating & fracturing my left arm. I was seen a week after I was referred (I work in Healthcare & know for too many overwhelmed doctors waiting only a week to see one is excellent). I was in surgery at the end of that week & am now in physical therapy to regain the use of my arm. Though Dr. Birnbaum moves quick when he sees you, he is thorough. My surgery went really well & my scar is minimal. His staff is amazing as well. Brittany, Mari, & Wendy have all been really helpful with my needs, & they have provided me excellent service. To anyone looking for a great orthopedic md, he is your guy. Again this is a BUSY office, you will wait to be seen, but the wait is worth it. And FYI-it always helps to be KIND, being demanding, nasty, &/or rude only gets you on a list of patients NO ONE wants to deal with. So be nice.

    Waiting room, but not long they are efficient and get you in and out.

    Peter Birnbaum DO is treating my Fractured Patella with out surgery. Bed rest for me with my leg up, straight -never bending, and with my wrap and splint, in a wheelchair not even using crutches for now... Wanted to make mention his Nurce Brigeth (it starts with a B) I appreciate her and her kindness helping me and taking the time to explain what's happening. She went above and beyond, I recommend anyone with A Fractured Patella come to Dr. BirnBaum's

My eyes look good overall, except for the scars. I have very visible, thick scars that literally look like railroad tracks. They're keloid-like and hard to ignore. He did perform laser treatment afterward, but the scars are still very noticeable. I've honestly been hesitant to talk to him about a revision for the scars, but now I've started searching for other doctors. Every time l brought up my concerns to Dr. Choi's office they were nice about it, but I felt like they were trying to brush it off, hoping l'd just forget. But I can't forget. It's my eyes. I see these scars every single day. Even people I know who had the same procedure tell me how bad my scarring looks. I've seen their scars, and they're barely noticeable just thin, faint white lines, nothing like what I ended up with. The doctors I consulted with say the same thing about my scars. -Kay (I saw Dr. Choi's response, and I don't know if I can reply directly here on Yelp, so I'm editing my review to add more context. Before doing my surgery, I told the staff that I had recently seen a woman who had the same procedure, and her scars were very noticeable. I was reassured that Dr. Choi's technique was so good that I wouldn't notice any scarring and that his work wouldn't leave bad scars. Unfortunately, my experience has been the complete opposite my scars are extremely noticeable, and it's not an exaggeration to say they can be seen from far away.)

    On May 30, 2023 I had a double hernia repair where the doctor placed mesh on both sides. The…read moresurgery was just for a fatty hernia on the right side. The doctor took advantage of my older 1970's hernia to call them a repair and place mesh. The doctor didn't explain the procedure to me prior to the surgery of that he was focusing on a repair of something that I didn't complain about or was even an issue. I thought I was just describing my prior health history and he took that as a way to fix something that wasn't an issue and profit by the work. Around August 2024 I started having the most excruciating and severe pain in my lower pelvic area and I knew it had to be the mesh. The doctors office was very slow to respond and set up an appointment. I had taken 3 emergency room visits in total. The ER would only run a CAT scan which did not show any results the doctor scheduled an MRI and he claimed it did not show a mesh issue. I had to wait 6 months for an appointment with a UCLA specialist who used the same MRI to verify an issue with the right side and the left. I had to wait for a surgery date until February 2025 for the right and July 2025 for the left side. In both cases the mesh had migrated down to my lower pelvic area. They had to dig out the right side in sections. The specialist said both sides were the worst he ever seen and both surgeries took longer than most of this situation. The mesh had adhered to my organs and other internal components in that area. Whether it was failure of the mesh or poor installation of the mesh is hard to say. But it is ironic that they both failed. The pain from this type of situation is indescribably painful and unbearable. I have no idea how I survived. It cost me my job as I could focus or concentrate. The doctor ignored my begging and pleading to remove the mesh. He wouldn't even acknowledge the mesh as the issue and he looked at the same MRI that the specialist looked at. This doctor lacks any compassion or concern for his patients well being and health. I would run and not look back. If you were to have an issue, and I suggest you look into mesh failure, as it can fail, don't expect and support from Dr. K he seems to think he is beyond a mistake or that something that was beyond his control, like product failure, could even happen on one of his surgeries. When I had my last appointment with you, Dr. Khosravi, I had mentioned the name of the surgeon, and you said you knew who he was, I would suggest you reach out to his office and ask them to send you a copy of the two surgery report and the photos of the mesh while they removed it. If not I'd be happy to send you a copy as I have them on file as I now have two law suites pending for product failure. The only reason you get even one star is that fact that they don't allow you to do negative stars.

    If you are searching for a professional surgeon who is attentive, patient and truly cares for the…read morepatient... look no further. I am truly blessed to have had care as well as a successful surgery with this office. Dr.Khosravi took the time to really hear me through and through and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you and keep up the great work.

My ob was not on call that evening (sad, because he's great!), but I had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. lao! My first baby I got the epidural, but this one I was hoping to go unmedicated. MAN is that so much easier said than done! As I lingered for awhile at 9/10 centimeters, I was becoming more and more tired, scared, and indecisive on my next steps for bringing my son into the world. Every contraction made me less confident that I could do it, but Dr Lao was one of the 3 in the room who reassured me and helped me through! My biggest praise has to go to her CALM CALM demeanor. What a difference that made! She was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness, never pressed me for what she wanted over what I wanted, but also (so) kindly gave her recommendations and gave me both the space to think things through and all the options before me. She also took great care and extra steps in physically delivering my son, and honored my wish to delay cord clamping until the cord turned white. Never with a hint of annoyance either. Thank you Dr. Lao!!
