    Wow just wow! Never have I dealt with a more unprofessional office in all my life and I'm in my…read more50s....This Dr. is not a good person! He is older than dirt, falling apart, and not with the times. One phone(that rarely gets picked up or used) and no computers..... He is rude and doesn't believe in modern anything!!!!. I would not recommend. This Dr to my worst enemies!!! His office staff is totally Incompetent . They are rude and don't return calls. They talk about patients in Spanish very ugly cause they think we don't know Spanish! .If you are referred here I would ask for a different referral. STAFF is VERY RUDE!!!!!! We are PATIENTS with pains and illnesses that demand dignity and respect not to be treated like a red folder all over your stinky office floor. The staff don't answer the phone. I called 19 times one day and 5 times another...left numerous messages and have not received any phone call back. When I finally got through I was told I was hostile and demanding and belligerent .... They run insurance scams just to bill insurance multiple office visits when they can simply take care of simple things via a phone call, fax(which doesn't work/disconnected), or email! The dr prescribes meds like free candy! Horrible TERRIBLE disgusting customer service! Don't go!

    Save your time and money and get the hell away from this clinic. The ladies here are so…read moreunprofessional and are bullies. While I was in the restroom I heard Bethany say not some very nice things about me to another staff mind you this isnt the first time ive caught her talking about me im an elderly that goes through enough . This last time was definitely a sign to go somewhere else I've been here for so many years and again and again I've gave them a chance and still disappoint this place should not be running if they don't have any professionalism.

    I had surgery performed by Dr Moelleken In July of 2017. After 4 - 5 years of pain medication I…read moreneeded my back repaired and Dr. Moelleken found severe scoliosis curve which you can see on the picture as well as he installed a spinal cord stimulator. Unfortunately he had to put three pedicure screws in and fuse my lumbar section of my back. The compression fracture t11 and T12 happened as a result of my surgery. 9 out 10 people cannot pass a bone density test. I have documents from Stanford and Mayo clinic. So I need the doctor Moelleke's help to adjust my pain medication appropriately. I CAN NOT walk 100 yds without stopping because I have severe back pain and severe muscle spasms. I've been diagnosed with severe back pain syndrome, failed back pain syndrome, fail surgery syndrome, etc. I mean I could name several things that happened but it was not the surgeon's fault. He did the best he could under severe severe conditions. In fact he had to amend his original operating report. So I thank him for that. I would recommend anybody who has a back problem to see physicians at this facility first. 9 out of 10 people cannot pass a bone density test in the United States. I have two letters one from the Mayo clinic one from Stanford Medical and they state the same thing. After doing a 5-year test this is what they found out so no wonder a lot of people have broken hips and all this other stuff, because what we need to do is drink more calcium and be more active and have weight resistant training it doesn't have to be 10,000 lb just lightweight training keep your bones strong! As well as insure you're drinking and getting enough calcium with supplements. There are several foods and vegetables with calcium in them. If you're over 50 it requires a lifestyle change and how you eat. One last thing that everybody forgets is the staff who answer the phone and work behind the scenes at the Spine and Orthopedic Center are extremely competent and they're extremely nice over the phone. No one ever gives them any credit where credit is due, hence this is why I'm writing this.

    I hurt my back and was in terrible pain. In a desperate Google search of spine orthopedic doctors I…read morecalled here and they were able to see me that day. I saw Dr. Tristan Zhang. After a quick exam and intake, he said I needed an X-ray and spinal injection and probably an MRI. He did not explain or give a diagnosis. I had the X-ray performed that day and the following day my injection which was performed under mild anesthesia. The day of my injection I asked about the findings of my X-ray (I asked prior to the anesthesia, so I was fully aware). He said the X-ray showed some mild arthritis in the lower back. A week later I had my tele-health visit with Dr. Zhang, which began with a nurse. The nurse asked how I was doing (much better, thankfully). The nurse prescribed physical therapy. Dr. Zhang came on the line and looked at my X-ray. He told me I had a different diagnosis than what he had told me at the time of my injection. When I asked why he was giving me a different diagnosis than before, he responded that he had not really reviewed my X-ray on the day of my injection. Wow! He injected something in my spine without bothering to review my X-ray fully. He then proceeded to say I needed to consult with his associate about the possibility of needing surgery. When I questioned him, he got visibly upset and left the tele health visit and didn't return. I was left with his nurse. I declined meeting with his associate. I made an appointment with a spine surgeon from UCLA. After thoroughly reviewing my X-ray and giving me a long exam, they told me I didn't need surgery and were rather horrified that surgery was suggested for my condition. I am now going to be doing physical therapy (which Dr.Zhang said I could not do). The doctors at UCLA explained my condition extensively with me and listened with respect to my concerns. They treated me like a human being. Dr. Zhang did not thoroughly review my X-ray before performing a procedure on my spine, and his assumption that I may need surgery was not accurate. Thank goodness I sought a second opinion. As a patient, I deserve to be treated with respect and maybe a kind bedside manner, not to mention a doctor who examines my X-ray completely before performing any procedures. This was one the WORST medical experiences of my life. I will say the nurses in the surgery center and the office staff were kind. Please if you find yourself in pain go somewhere else!

    The Dr.s here have been good, at least oneU staff member that has to do with scheduling is…read moreincompetent in customer service. Yea that's what I said. We had an appointment for several weeks for the 20th of Sept. On that day, we are off and made sure we would be ready and available to keep the appointment. They called us up to change the appointment, talked to my wife. My wife asked them to call me and let me know what is going on. They did NOT call me. After a few days I realized what was happening and call the APMG office. They had changed our appointment without ANY input from us. One lady even lied to me about the reason for the change "the Dr will be on vacation". What a lie. I told the Dr. that today and he has no vacation scheduled. So we missed Monday's work, a very busy day that usually nets about $200, sometimes more because of some bullshit story from an incompetent scheduler. EVERYONE in the waiting room today was complaining about how crappy the office does in scheduling the appointments. They should NEVER change an appointment without letting the customer have input. This may seem like a harsh review for a place with much needed services, but they can and should take into consideration our time, and recognize that they need us as customers for their business to succeed. This is not the only problem with the scheduling. From talking to others in the waiting room and our experience, there is almost always a long wait, so they need someone in this office that understands scheduling. Common courtesy, some professionalism, and respect for the time of their customers is needed here. UPDATE (9/20/18) They had us scheduled for a procedure at the surgery center today at 1:15. They called at 8:30 and changed the appointment yet again. So now we have lost two days of work this week due to their incompetence. If we had cancelled without reasonable notice, these incompetents would have charged us like $250 for missing our appointment. This office does not have any respect for anyone's time except their own. If you have a choice of providers do not choose this one. If you do remember what I said- your experience will be very similar. You have been warned.
