    If the possibility to leave zero stars existed, I would be leaving zero stars. I had my hip replaced March 2022, and I'm in more pain than I was prior to surgery. After two years of experiencing excruciating hip, knee and pelvic floor pain, Dr. David Nazarian couldn't tell me why I was in this much pain so I went to his P.A. Ryan Fletcher. Ryan couldn't tell me why either. They said my hip replacement looked great. They also couldn't tell me why the very small meniscus tear in my knee that I've had for 30 years was bothering me like it had been ripped apart. After finding absolutely no answers I did the only thing I could do and I requested my medical charts from 1978 until current. What I discovered was this...On six different MRI Reports (since 2016) it had stated that I had a Müllerian Duct cyst in my midline, almost attached to my left. The actual source of ten years of pain. The cyst is pressing on my perennial nerve causing indescribable pain in my hip, knee, foot and it sends my entire pelvic floor into disruption (which includes constipation, urination problems and severe testicle pain). The stark realization I have come to at just 46 years old is this. Despite the fact that I have a rare disease that only 200 people in the world share (CLOVES Syndrome), Dr. David Nazarian did a hip replacement that I did not need. Had he slowed down, asked more questions, taken a look at any of the previous hip MRIs, and there were five of them, he would have seen the cyst. He did not clearly and thoughtfully read my medical reports that were all available to him. I went to see Nazarian last week and Rothman sure has a sense of humor asking me to fill out a survey. Two things occurred at the Appt. 1. Dr. Nazarian told me had no idea what a Mullerian Duct cyst was however after some discussion, he tried to claim that it was something that a urologist should have taken care of previously (Or in the future). When I told Nazarian I did not need the hip replacement, he stared at me blankly and said nothing. He admitted that he did not see the cyst on my MRIs claiming that they weren't available to him. 2. Dr. Nazarian took ZERO responsibility for this MAJOR MEDICAL OVERSIGHT. He was defensive about almost everything I brought up. Now as it stands, I'm desperately trying to find a doctor to perform this very rare surgery and I am completely lost. Müllerian Duct cysts are generally found in women and my Urologist has never seen it. I have begun reading research papers from medical students who have dealt with this issue and have had no luck in contacting anyone. If there's anyone out there who knows anything about Müllerian Duct issues, please be in touch with me if you can. I will say one last thing about this issue and it's the most important thing I can say about Healthcare in America... PLEASE BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE

    I would like to take a moment to share a truly positive experience I had during my recent visit to…read morethe Orthopedics office at Pennsylvania Hospital. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Affia. I've had the pleasure of encountering her before, and each time, she consistently brings such a kind, calming, and genuine presence. From the moment I arrived, she acknowledged me by name, which immediately made me feel seen and welcomed. Affia kept me informed throughout my wait, letting me know that the doctor was running behind. While I completely understand that delays can happen and are often outside of anyone's control, her thoughtful updates and communication made a meaningful difference. Her attentiveness helped ease the waiting process and made me feel respected as a patient. What stood out most was her warmth and sincerity. In healthcare settings, it can sometimes feel like you're just another number, but Affia's demeanor reminds you that compassion and human connection still matter deeply. She carries herself with such professionalism and kindness, and it truly enhances the overall patient experience. I'm very appreciative of her and wanted to make sure her efforts and positive energy were recognized. She is a wonderful reflection of the care and compassion that patients hope to receive.

So, I danced until my mid 20s; I was preparing to audition for a NYC dance company when my ballet instructor noticed something odd in my back and hips. I had a pretty bad fall off my horse, but thought nothing of the pain because of dancing and riding. It happened that I had an injury due to a congenital malformation in a vertebrae that hadn't been diagnosed. I rode horses in Hunter-Jumper classes and fox hunted from 7 until my mid 30s and rowed crew and Erg-rowed from 20 until my 40s when I broke that damaged vertebrae and had severe nerve damage from a car wreck in 1993. I had a fusion at Rothman done by Alex Vaccaro MD (the best as far as I'm concerned). I was doing well for the injuries I suffered and was being treated for chronic pain and osteoarthritis. I no longer rode, but kept very active lifting, Pilates, swimming and hiking. In 2010, I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, it wasn't a surprise as autoimmune disease runs in my mother's side. Things devolved from there. By 2020, I went back to Rothman for hip pain. I had Stage 4 avascular necrosis of the hip. I was told the hip had to be replaced as well as the other hip and both knees, but I had to lose weight. I'm embarrassed to say that I gained a considerable amount of weight. I was in a wheelchair at this point and getting worse. I went back to Rothman twice, but every time I went, the doc said I had to lose more weight. As good as Rothman is, I think they gate-keep and only accept patients they are sure will recover well, but that's only my opinion. I went to Virtua and was told flat out they would not take my case, no reason given. I asked and was told my case was too complicated. By 2023, the pain was horrendous and I was hospitalized and sent to rehab three times because I could not care for myself, by myself. A local surgeon agreed to operate, but I was concerned with his experience level. I decided to go to Penn and the surgeon I saw could not have been more rude or nasty. He insisted the pain was in my spine until he read the xray and agreed I needed a THR. He still insisted the pain was mostly my spine and told me to see their physical medicine service. By this time, I could not put weight on my leg or get in a car, so I paid out of pocket or medical transport ambulance service, which is very expensive. I was in so much pain that I was barely functioning. I only went to my pain management Dr and my rheumatologist because going anywhere was too painful and expensive. I didn't go to the Physiatrist because I had seen one already; I chalked Penn off my list after that awful experience. I was becoming more and more determined to find someone to help. I spoke to others with my disease who recommended surgeons in other cities, but I couldn't believe no one in our area could not help me. I saw several other surgeons-each one nastier and more shaming than the other (Cooper was the absolute worst and will never go back. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. I was ready to go to NYC, when I happened to see the name Charles Nelson at Penn. I never saw his name before and his name never came up even when the Penn surgeon told me he couldn't help me. That man had to know Dr Nelson would take my case. By the time I went to Dr Nelson, I was at the end of the road. My body was beginning to shut down from the pain and I knew I'd be dead in two years if I continued to live in such pain. I saw Dr Nelson in June of 2025; there was no shaming no nastiness. From that day forward, my every contact with Penn was more than I could have expected. Dr Nelson's team is stellar. My surgery and hospital stay were as good as such an experience could be. Everyone is so kind and caring from the people I speak to when making appointments to the housekeeping staff. I'm doing better than anticipated and Dr Nelson will do my knee later this year. I'm thrilled with my whole experience at Penn! I must mention Dr Bell from Penn's Pain Management service as well and Dr Scott, my anesthesiologist. Both are extremely knowledgeable and exceedingly kind. Please don't ever give up. You just have to push and advocate for yourself.

    While I read many positive reviews, unfortunately I cannot add to the positive reviews. Dr…read moreNazarian performed a knee reconstruction on my left knee in October of 2023. It has now been 11 months, and I am still not "back to normal". Still experiencing stiffness and pain. I also did months of P. T. but this did not seem to help. One of my biggest frustrations is that Dr. Nazarian did not schedule any follow up exams, except to remove the staples. The only time I saw him after the surgery was when I called for an appointment because there was an issue. First, I experienced bleeding from the incision. He addressed that issue. Next, I experienced an accumulation of fluid around the incision. A large "bubble" of fluid appeared below my knee cap. I called for an appointment and the doctor drained the fluid. When the pain persisted, I called for yet another appointment. After an exam, Dr. Nazarian said the pain was due to a "hip problem." I honestly got upset when he made that recommendation, but I followed through with the doctor that Dr. Nazarian recommended and who did an injection into my hip. That did absolutely nothing to alleviate the pain. I followed up with Dr. Nazarian again, and he then recommended a pain management doctor who would perform an "ablation of the sensory nerves around the knee." Of course, this is a totally "symptomatic" approach to my pain. Dr. Nazarian never once considered that there may be something wrong with the knee itself. Following Dr. Nazarian's advice, I had the ablation done. Of course, since the nerves were chemically destroyed, the pain was reduced by about 85%. But I am told, this is a temporary fix. It may last only 6 months or so, or perhaps a year. Never once did Dr Nazarian take any images of my knee, nor perform a complete exam of the knee to see if it was his handiwork that was causing my pain. What frustrates me the most, is that I was a regularly active person prior to my knee issues......I walked trails, I biked, I play racquetball, pickleball three times a week, worked out at a gym, and now simply walking around the supermarket is a challenge. If you ae considering knee replacement, do your due diligence, get several opinions. I hope you have a better outcome.
