    Before surgery

    I had 2 surgeries done on me by Richard Blanks for "both acl's torn in both knee's" and after my surgeries I found out from another doctor that my acl was never torn and doctor blanks messed up my meniscus during operation and unnecessarily replaced both my acl's for an insurance payout. I am 21 years old now and completely lost my ability to walk normally because of the trust I put in this doctor and it has been 2 years since I had those surgeries. Please save yourself and find a different doctor, I lost my sports career, my mobility, and my mother is traumatized from seeing me in this condition. You can see the before and after images of my MRI using the images I attached.

    Dr. Peter Pryko ans Richard Blanks should have their medical licenses under review, board action taken, and hopefully have their licenses to practice medicine REVOKED! Dr. Pryko gave me 10 steroid injections in my hip (three, rarely four is protocol), NOT in a sterile environment or under live X-Ray or ultrasound. I went in for mild hip pain and ended up with a destroyed hip due to Dr. Pryko's incompetence. Then Dr. Pryko and Dr. Blanks tried to con me out of $1500 to give me PRP on a destroyed hip joint! Anyone who knows even just a little bit about stem cell injections, PRP is to POTENTIALLY give very temporary pain relief to an area for mild arthritis or after a procedure and will not do anything for a joint that is destroyed! I thought it was weird that Dr. Blanks would not make eye contact with me when he was discussing PRP with me; it is because he knew he was doing something wrong, urging a procedure that he knew would not work for me, and opening his exposure to malpractice! Two SHADY doctors. This is called RETAIL MEDICINE - where the bottom line is to make money over best care practices for the patients!! I also hold documents from their office and my insurance company proving INSURANCE FRUAD!! Billing my insurance for services not given to me, then billing me as a "new patient" three years after my first visit and after two years of being there every three months for the steroid injections. I am NOT a new patient! But, I guess that earned Dr. Pryko and his office a few extra hundred dollars from my insurance. I also have pictures of Dr. Pryko giving me an injection after the power had gone out in the interior office room, it was pitch black, so he had me use the light from my cell phone to do the injection. He said "I have done so many of these, I can do them with my eyes closed." Until the needle falls on the floor...I have pictures of that, too. Also, the doctors notes in my file reflects that there was no power in the building, because they could not fax over my prescriptions to the pharmacy. Finally, Dr. Pryko has misspellings in his bio for Platinum Orthopedics. Apparently, he practices "join replacement," which I am assuming is supposed to be "joint replacement." If that is his attention to detail, I would NEVER allow, nor trust, him to ever do replace the biggest joint in my body! If you are referred to Dr. Pryko, Dr. Blanks, or Platinum Orthopedics, RUN!! Ask for another referral, we have so many good doctors here in Orange County, you DO NOT need to use this RETAIL MEDICINE practice or these two doctors that care more about making a few extra bucks by committing malpractice and insurance fraud, than providing you with the best care. Thank you for reading!! Jennifer

When it came to the appointment for the Dr. to read my results that's when the headache came. The office called me the evening before my appointment telling me the Dr. would be out for a month and that I need to reschedule. The day before?! I agreed to see a different Dr. instead, on the same day of my original appointment, at an earlier time. I rearranged my whole morning work schedule to be there. As I was pulling up 10 minutes before the appointment, the office called me to cancel AGAIN!!! Ten minutes before the appointment starts! They said the other Dr. was not going to be in and I need to reschedule. Completely unprofessional! Two canceled appointments within 24 hours, minutes before the appointment is scheduled!? I requested for my results to be read to me over the phone but I have little faith. If someone had canceled their Dr. appointment within 24 hours they would still be getting charged, yet they can do it twice? After going to the reviews I see that multiple people have had bad experiences with the office, the Dr.'s and surgeries. I do not trust this office to give me accurate information on my MRI results. If you have the ability to go somewhere else do it! Completely unprofessional

I had an appt on Nov 11th 2025, they did not tell me I was only seeing a PA that day. The PA examined me and ordered an MRI. I followed up about the insurance authorization two weeks later no reply. Over the next two weeks I called 6 times leaving a message with no reply. Then I sent 2 emails and received no reply. I had an appointment on December 16th, 2025 that my insurance would not pay for unless it was to review the MRI. I tried to call and cancel the appointment and left two messages on different VM also sent an email with no reply. To sum up the office sent no communication to me whatsoever after I had my appointment November 11, 2025. The doctor has a good reputation as a doctor however his staff could not execute on ordering an MRI or return multiple attempts to communicate regarding obtaining prior authorization from insurance company or just to call back to confirm cancellation of an appointment. The only reason I bothered to leave a review is I have been a patient of Kerlan Jobe since 1978 seeing multiple doctors and used to value the firm as my go to source for orthopedics. They just don't have their act together to do something as simple as returning a call or email. What is worse my wife is a patient of the doctor.

Now it is impossible to get a hold of your doctor, no one picks up the phone and there is no voicemail to leave a message. If you call the other office they can't help, and can only transfer you to the same number where no one picks up. This is the second time I've dealt with this in the last few months and I've called over a dozen times and sent multiple emails over a few day period with zero luck. It's almost like they want to lose patients and don't care to tell them directly which is unethical and unprofessional.

I explained that I am not new to this condition. I previously received steroid injections for trigger finger in my left hand, which ultimately required surgery, and I am now experiencing the same symptoms in my right hand. The front desk clerk, Asia (or Iesha), was polite and said she was unsure whether the clinic offered these injections but would find out and call me back. I also specifically asked for pricing information because I already had an appointment scheduled elsewhere and was comparing costs, particularly since this clinic is much closer to my home. When she called back, she confirmed that I could schedule an appointment as soon as June 27, but failed to provide any pricing information. After placing me on hold to check again, she returned and explained that they could not provide a price because the doctor would need to determine the final cost after evaluating me. I then asked whether there was at least a standard starting price or estimated range for a common cortisone steroid injection used to treat trigger finger. Unfortunately, I was again told that no pricing information could be provided because the doctor comes up with the final price. My frustration is not that the representative did not personally know the answer. My frustration is the lack of transparency regarding costs for self pay patients. If the clinic's policy is that pricing cannot be discussed until after a consultation, that should be clearly communicated from the beginning. Instead, I was told someone would find the information for me, only to receive no actual pricing guidance whatsoever. As a cash paying patient, cost is an important factor in deciding where to seek treatment. Every other clinic I contacted was able to provide at least an estimated price range for the consultation and injection. This clinic was unable or unwilling to do so. The overall experience left me feeling that obtaining basic pricing information was unnecessarily difficult. For patients paying out of pocket, transparency regarding expected costs should be a priority and not made to sound like the doctor can just pull a number out of his hat and that's what it has to be. Just FYI, I'm not a CA state resident. I'm just passing through, hence the cash payment request.
