Dr. Tallman's unique approach, techniques & training, (outlined on his website), are far superior…read moreto any other doctor/practice I've researched; and most importantly, the results are nothing shy of MIRACULOUS, (as a former National Champion distance runner, I have some very high standards too!). To date, Dr. Tallman has done 12 stem cell treatments on me in the past ~8 years, NEVER ONCE failing to FULLY heal a new injury with a SINGLE treatment, (and I've come in with the full gamut, ranging from various ligament sprains & frayed tendons, to cartilage fissures, to even a fractured talus). The sheer SPEED of recovery from his treatments is equally miraculous: I'm typically back walking 5-10+ miles per day within just 1-2 weeks post-treatment; and by 3.5 - 4 weeks, ready to do what I now live for: EXTREME off-trail hiking/peak-bagging that involves 11-20+ miles & 7-12+ hours PER DAY! In addition to being a super skilled doctor and a perfectionist, Dr. Tallman's 'bedside manners' are impeccable: he takes the time to LISTEN to the patient & answer questions, he thoroughly explains what issues are present & how he plans to treat them, and he takes the time to get the treatment done properly. To top it off, his passion & drive to help people just radiates and really enhances the overall experience. Words cannot express how incredibly thankful I am to have Dr. Tallman 'put me back together' each year, (...sometimes twice per year...!), after the hiking season where I've pushed my body to insane limits. The only drawback to having such an amazing, one-of-a-kind doctor in my corner: when he does finally decide to retire, (which thankfully isn't any time soon from what he's told me!), then by default, so must I. Concluding with a specific example, (and by far one of the most impressive!) is my right ankle, which had been nearing Stage 3 arthritis from a childhood injury that occurred over 2 decades prior to my first visit with Dr. Tallman. Subjectively speaking, I was unable to "lead" with my right foot/leg while stepping down off anything taller than about 6" (if I tried to do so, my foot would literally buckle out in pain, almost like the automatic recoil one would experience from touching a hot stove with bare hands). And even just walking across a level surface would amount to CONSTANT stiffness at best, often accompanied by mild to moderate soreness/pain. Unlike all the other (new) injuries, (which Dr. Tallman confidently & correctly predicted would be healed in full after just one stem cell treatment), he made NO promises on [what HAD BEEN] my 'bum' ankle. There were mild to moderate improvements after the very first treatment, (and each treatment thereafter), and by about the 4th or 5th stem cell treatment, the healing took off in leaps and bounds, (literally!), as I could leap off a 3' tall rock/boulder, or jump down the last few steps, and land on my right foot without issue! And after another 3-4 stem cell treatments, the ankle RARELY EVER feels stiff, even after sitting for hours on end & then getting up to walk. The miraculous, 'subjective' results are consistent with the improvements on the MRIs.

I would really like to write a good review for Dr. Tallman because he is a nice and sincere man…read more Unfortunately I can't because his treatments did not work for more than a few weeks, are very painful, and it was not blearily explained that they would need to be repeated often.

Dr. Amit Sarasbudre - works as IME= Independent Medical Evaluations and Workers' Compensation cases. Remember Dr Amit sarasbudre fights like Hell * AGAINST injured workers in the state of Arizona industrial commission. I want to clarify that I did not authorize Dr. Amit Sarasbudre to access my medical records. Dr. Sarasbudre is an orthopedic surgeon in Arizona who also functions as an independent medical examiner (IME) for insurance companies handling workers' compensation claims. I had an Independent Medical Examination with Dr. Sarasbudre related to my workers' compensation claim from NOVEMBER 2014-2015. During the evaluation, I was in significant pain in both shoulders due to a serious work injury. Dr. Sarasbudre claimed in court that I refused to remove my shoulder brace, which was not true. I believe this misrepresentation affected the outcome of my case. I had a frustrating experience with Dr. Amit Sarasbudre and staff during a shoulder injury visit. The brace was not removed for proper evaluation, and when I asked about it, the response I received felt dismissive and was attributed to my prior review, which was surprising and unprofessional. I left without confidence that my injury was properly assessed. Patients should expect a thorough physical exam and respectful communication--unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. In my experience, the evaluation felt very brief and did not appear to fully consider my medical history or documentation related to my injury. Following this evaluation, my claim was denied by the insurance company and the Industrial Commission of Arizona. As a patient, I felt that my concerns and the extent of my condition were not adequately reflected in the final report. Workers' compensation cases can significantly impact health, livelihood, and financial stability. Evaluations in these cases should be thorough, fair, and carefully consider all available medical evidence. I encourage others going through workers' compensation evaluations to be informed about the IME process and to maintain complete copies of their medical records. For context, my primary care physician for over 15 years, Dr. Battersby, provided compassionate, patient-centered care. He treated me with empathy and always prioritized my well-being, even during times when I could not afford care. Dr. Battersby's dedication and professionalism contrast sharply with my experience in the IME process.

My situation was different than most I suspect, because not only did my left shoulder have a torn labrum, but it was a result of a violent seizure years ago that causes a full dislocation which causes more complications making a surgery more difficult. I had already had 1 failed bankart repair for my left shoulder done in CA 2 years ago. Now that I moved to Scottsdale, I needed to get it fixed and get myself back to normal, which for me, means back to heavy weights at the gym. I first met Dr. E in April of this year, (whom I was referred to by a major pain clinic in Scottsdale. I noticed he was right to the point, more technical than emotional - still very caring. In my 37 years I've seen all kinds of Dr's, and so any misgivings others have on here about his bedside manner, (which was good enough), I just can't relate. But I'll tell you, I'd much prefer a technical no nonsense pro, with the confidence / experience to take on a surgery like this, as I discovered other orthos here in Scottsdale, will not. I actually was referred to 2 different doctors prior to being referred to Dr. E. Interestingly enough. The first Ortho I found off yelp here in Scottsdale ( has 18 or so reviews) told me he didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery, and get this - shoulders were his specialty. He actually said I should return to CA to have the original operating doc redo the procedure. That was not practical for me. Of course, I take nothing away from that doctor, but clearly I had a complicated situation in my shoulder and he didn't feel comfortable after it already had one failed previous bankart repair. So, in a way, he saved me the risk of another failed surgery. The second option was a pain Dr who suggested shots in each shoulder which cost me $2k and did nothing at all. That pain Dr. who administered the injections recommended Dr E after we decided the injections didn't work. He gave Dr. E raving reviews with specifics for why he believed Dr. E was the way to go hands down, and best in the valley. So I made an appt, and was able to get in quickly which I later learned is common. So nice to be able to have good access to Dr. E. Each time I went to his office pre / post op, I rarely ever waited long, and I personally appreciate that. In my 1st visit he knew instantly I needed surgery. He also discovered something that BOTH previous orthos didn't- which was that my bicep tendon was disconnected and needed to be reattached. 1 week after my 1st visit, surgery was scheduled for the week after, (May 1st 2017) at which time he fixed a SLAP tear and a bicep tendonesis. Post op, Dr E said the op was a success and I'll tell you, in 6 weeks, it actually felt for the first time, connected to my body. I'd forgotten what that felt like and that's when I knew, it was working, getting a little better each day. I was amazed. So grateful. But understanding how much it needs to be babied for six months wasn't something I fully contemplated. As such, I came to understand the shoulder is such a mobile joint that its quite common for patients to think they have re-injured it doing things they didn't think would be a big deal. Post op, during the 2nd month, and 4th month out, I thought for sure I re-injured it holding a plate of food, and again months later when I tripped and fell. I was freaked out, scared that Id lose all the progress I'd made, so each time, I made an appt. with Dr. E to get an MRI. Funny thing is, he was able to determine from moving my shoulder and doing various physical tests, whether or not an MRI was needed, or if I should just give it more time to heal, as it could be tendonisis, bursitis or scar tissue. I was surprised to hear him validate that the recent clicking and popping from the new suspected re-injury was likely from newly formed scar tissue. I thought for sure it was something disconnected or loose. I actually met with him this morning (9/28/17 to see if he thought I had re-injured it, and he didn't think from the tests he did, that it was damaged or bad enough to need an MRI, but did suggest that taking 2 months off from PT (which he said I did enough of) and seeing if it felt better, was the best solution. Keep in mind, I was willing to pay for an MRI. But he suggested to give it two months, confirming a genuine bedside manner that really counts, which was saving me money and affirming that my own thoughts are my own worst enemy. Btw - in no small measure of appreciation, I can't write this and not mention his super smart and super cool staff. They go beyond.
