Hoag Orthopedic Institute

Dr. Scudday gave me a new left knee, and I am forever grateful to him. I had no problems recovering from the surgery and can walk and do any physical activity with ease. My leg is straighter than it ever has been and the pain and limp are gone. If you are looking for a professional and caring...

Everything went so well and on schedule, the staff and Dr. Lee were amazing. Not that I look forward to having another surgery, but If I did I would at this facility. thank you,

Dr Wechsler is kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. He clearly makes is patients the top priority .

I am someone with very high expectations for any doctor that I see for medical care. If I feel a doctor is not current with research studies, or best practices for specific conditions, I go elsewhere. Dr. Desai has repeatedly impressed me from the first time I met him; with his knowledge, his...

I was very impressed with how easily the procedure was handled. The staff was very kind, efficient, and made me feel comfortable.

Office is friendly and organized with on time appointments! Dr Sccuday is a talented surgeon who knows how to replace knees!

The Doc is great. Low key, insightful, clear, patient, involved. The staff is great too. The office has a great professional but relaxed feel. I never ever have to wait to be seen. Oh, and the parking is easy and free.

Amazing Doctor

I was very pleased with the office staff, Dr. Chi and the surgical team as I had surgery to remove a cyst on one of my fingers. Dr. Chi had studied the xrays before I first met her in her office, and she was quickly able to diagnose the issue. There was confusion at my first office visit, however,...

My back was operated on 10 years ago and I continued to have many issues and pain. I visited several surgeons but they didn’t want to deal with the mess that was my back. I was referred to Dr Tabrizi as a surgeon who can do the type of surgery that others don’t have the skills to perform. He...

I have been a patient of Dr. Mady's for quite a while and I am beyond happy with the care he gives me. I have a chronic health issue that Dr. Mady helps me manage as he carefully monitors and manages my care. In addition to being an amazing doctor he is very kind and always takes time to listen to...

He did a great job fixing my clavicle fracture after mountain bike accident. Can’t even see the scar.

He has been my primary physician for over 20 years. I am alive as a direct results of his preventive care philosophy. The aging process has a way of introducing challenging health concerns. It is great to have a physician like Dr. Mikhail to navigate you through any medical concerns.

DR. KANAAN IS VERY GOOD AND THOROUGH IN EXPLAINING THE PROCEDURE, IT MAKES THE PATIENT FEEL BETTER AND CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL BE IN GOOD HANDS, WE APPRECIATE THE WONDERFUL ACCOMMODATION OF HIS OFFICE STAFF AS WELL.

Dr. Scudday did surgery on my knee and very very pleased with the outcome. He was very compassionate and professional. I was nervous and scared before surgery.

Dr. Melikian is not only a fabulous doctor, he is also a kind caring person. He listened to me carefully, explained my condition and potential solutions thoroughly, gave me time and space to process the information and make a decision on which path to take, and once I was ready for surgery he did...

I have been going to Dr Chi for almost 2 years & recently had surgery for Trigger Finger. Dr Chi did a Great Job & I am healing quickly . She & her entire Office Staff are very professional & friendly , I would & have recommended friends & family to her practice.

Exceptional experience. My rheumatologist referred me to Dr. Chi with a consistent history of ongoing pain in my hands. The front desk (the most important part of any experience) was exceptional. I was greeted with a welcoming "Hello!" and I felt I was off to a very good start. The rest of my...

Can’t say much more then Dr. Reddy is simply the best Doctor on the planet. Expertise beyond the norm and very much recommend.

Thank You... Surgical "DREAM TEAM SUPREME"...that is what I am calling Dr. Ozgur, Jordan (Dr. Ozgur's PA), Yulia (scheduler and coordinator), and Dr. Brian Cauley (anesthesiologist). It has only been 3 weeks to the day that I had my extensive surgery and I feel GREAT! Ready to begin my first...

Thank you Dr. Ozgur, Jordan, PA and Yulia, office manager for giving me my life back. My passion in life has been riding horses and hiking with my husband with our two cattle dogs. I had to give all these activities up because of severe back pain. I decided surgery was my only hope when the...

Diagnosis-Broken Heel. I got referred from Hoag emergency room to their specialist, nice guy, decent office staff, but didn't get the feeling I was important, more like I was number to them. Got a 2nd opinion from Dr Kaplan, diagnosis the same, surgery method different. Hoag had an older...

Ruptured left Achilles on 8/28/2019. Consulted Dr. Kaplan on date of rupture with regard to options and had surgery on 9/4/2019. Dr. Kaplan was very clear about options, has great perspective on matching options and progress to fit my needs and active lifestyle. Did excellent job on surgery with...

I had a full rupture of my right achilles. Dr. Kaplan performed surgery to repair my right achilles. At this point, I am almost 8 months post surgery. I am back to running and exercising with no pain and I am well on my way back to being 100% again. I’m thankful to Dr. Kaplan and the team at...

He is always responsive and shows a kindness when meeting. Never feel rushed!

Dr Carlson is very knowledgeable and treats his patients like family. He will do whatever it takes to make his patients comfortable to help them live their lives to the fullest. He has been treating me since 2001 and I wouldnt have it any other way. He gave me my life back and I cant thank him...

I had 2 hip replacements by Dr. Cailloutte. Both surgeries were very successful. Physical Therapy after surgery is the key. I am back to down hill skiing again. I would recommend Dr. Cailloutte.

I cannot thank Dr. Ozgur, his PA Jordan Faulkner, his assistant Yulia, his office staff and all of nurses, aides and physical therapists at Hoag for their exceptional care. I had a C4-7 ACDF on April 28th. When I was 19 I started having neck pain. Then I spent seven years in a combat unit in the...

Doctor Dennis gave me hope today for what I thought was a hopeless condition.

I walked into Dr Madys office terrified as I was just diagnosed weeks earlier with erythromelalgia. After the 2 weeks it took to learn to pronounce it, Dr Mady s patience genuine concern and clear expertise reset my fears into what’s now a healthy relationship with my malady. I’m grateful for him...

I have been attending Dr. Strelzow for over 10 years for some sinus issues I have. I am always been delighted with the service I have received from his very attentive staff Lesley is excellent and can't do enough for you. Dr Strelzow has provided me with excellent and prompt service any time I have...

Great Doc. Very excellent surgeon and good communicator. Would recommend to everyone.

Dr Kanaan is a wonderful communicator and took his time thoroughly explaining my medical condition and treatment options. I greatly appreciate his caring bedside manner and would highly recommend him.

Dr. Kanaan was great all through the process. Before and after surgery. Highly recommend him.

I have seen Dr. Charlu on several occasions. It has never been easy to talk with him, it always seems like he is talking at you not with you. The office never returns calls, problems with prescription refills, problems with general follow up.

I went to his office 4 months ago for a few tests and a vaccine! They gave an appointment pretty fast and that's why I decided to visit the Dr. I haven't got treatment to comment on that but based on my experience with the office, I think if you decide to go to Doctor avoid this office and his...

Always on time, great communication, sets a plan and follows through. Looking forward to getting back in hi-heels!

One word description - Excellent - 32 years ago; multiple Ankle fractures - treatment included Operation with 4 screws - - I still have the screws and a completely no pain functional ankle - thank you for the expert care - what a gift!

Could not have had a better experience at a doctor's office. ( I do know, I'm a surgeon.) His coordinator, Yulia, and PA, Jordan, could not have been more friendly and helpful. The office is very efficient. Dr. Ozgur and I both felt surgery was necessary. It was carried out expeditiously, and now,...

This was the first time I've done this! (Virtual doctor appt from home) I was a bit apprehensive but Dr. Mikhail put me at ease right away!! He is the best, managing my complex heAlth issues with no problems at all.

Dr. Kaplan came highly recommended and certainly deserves this stellar reputation. He instills confidence backed by his expertise in his specialized field. My recovery has been slow -- which he explained at the outset -- and he's been there every step of the way. I am totally pain-free at the injury...

Dr. Pelinka is always so kind and makes it easy on the kids To go to the Dr. Scheduling is easy And the staff is knowledgeable and you can trust they really want to help you. The facilities are very clean.

Dr explains everything in a way you can understand. Takes the time needed to establish communication. Timely appointments short wait if any.

Dr Kaplan performed surgery on my Achilles’ tendon and also remove a bone spur from my heel . Dr Kaplan was very informative and explained everything in detail. He and his staff are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr Kaplan!

Excellent doc. Very personable & caring. Immediately diagnosed my son's rare disease when no one else had and was able get treatment quickly before it progressed.

Dr Strelzow is very attentive and professional. When I came the first time doctor checked my nose and asked a lot of detailed questions about my last surgery. He prescribed just the most necessary medicines. Doctor Strelzow decided that I need a surgery he said it to me without any pushing. He...

Dr. Kaplan and his team were excellent. He was always prepared for our visits. He went over my xrays with me to explain what was happening with my ankle and what he could do to help me. He explained the ankle surgery to me, after we had tried shots to no avail. He told me to let him know when I...

Dr Burak Ozgur is a spine magician. He made all my neck pain disappear with his surgery. He did a triple fusion of my cervical vertebraes and gave me my life back with no pain. I can ride horses and play polo again. Before I saw him, I was in so much pain that my life was miserable and I was not fun...

I loved coming to dr Kaplan’s office. Both he and all his staff are all so professional and friendly

Dr. Kaplan was referred to me from a friend and I'm so thankful for that referral. I can't say enough about his practice and surgery techniques. I was looking for a non evasive procedure for my bunion. I read all of his reviews and I would have to agree with all of them except the one person who...

Dr. Kaplan and his staff are absolutely the best! After a thorough evaluation of the problem, he explains the different options available and the best way to proceed. His staff is always available to answer any concerns one may have. One is always greeted with smiles and kindness!

I have been a patient of Dr. Kaplan for the past 3 years, and have received the best care. He performed my Achilles Tendon repair and took great care of me through my recovery and follow up. He also recommended and performed my tendon revision which made it possible to correct my drop foot. I no...

Thought Dr. Kaplan was wondering wonderful. Am waiting to do my other foot. Could not have had a better experience.

Dr. Kaplan was wonderful he is engaging and friendly. I would have more surgery from him if I needed it

Very efficient visit

I broke four bones in and around my left ankle one year ago. I also tore tendons and ligaments in my left leg. In discussing the serious nature of my injury Dr. Kaplan was very positive and very clear about what the path for a complete recovery was. I appreciated the fact he was very straight...

Dr. Kaplan is full of energy to do his best for each patient. He performed my ankle reconstruction and had a 6 page description of what to do and when to do it for my Physical Therapist. He is precise and detailed. He also is good at compromising difficult situations such as using a splint instead...

I am so happy I met Dr. Kaplan! Having reached out to several doctors and being misdiagnosed with my Achilles problem, Dr. Kaplan knew exactly what was causing my pain, and felt confident he could help me. Having somewhat of a medical background, I was immediately impressed that he was able to...

I fell off a ladder, had a grade 4 heel fracture. Met with Dr Kaplan, and had surgery which required 9 screws and a plate. Dr Kaplan will take time to answer all your questions about surgery and recovery. Office staff is fantastic. I was very happy with Dr Kaplan and the results from the...

Wonderful Doctor, great personality and quite frankly, extremely intelligent. . She is a master of her specialty knowing every intrical part , it's amazing. Highly recommend.

He was scheduled to remove a growth from my sinus when the virus crisis caused his operating facility to close. Since he was no longer able to do the procedure, he arranged an appointment for me with another highly skilled ENT. In so doing, he conveyed the urgency involved and personally delivered...

Dr. Shukla relieved me of years of non stop pain by completely replacing left Shoulder with a ‘Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement’ After full compliance of much Physical Therapy and follow up X-Rays, the Doctors and my satisfaction rate are at 100%. Thank you Doctor Shukla, M.D.

Dr. Mikhail is a national treasure. I'm not joking. Move aside, Dr. Fauci -- Dr. Mikhail is here to save the US during the pandemic! He is always calm, supportive, and extremely insightful. The man doesn't miss a thing. After I saw him yesterday for what turned out to be mild bronchitis, I...

Victor Strelzow, ENT-Otalaryngology specialist helped me with severe sinus problems/ sinusitis. He is excellent. After discussing my problems then an exam, he took me step by step on how we would proceed. He was very clear, concise, caring in answering all of my questions. Very knowledgeable . He...

I went in to see about a pesky sinus infection that I've had for a long time. I decided I needed to seek medical help. I've been a patient of Dr. Strelzow for about 25 years, but I am not a frequent visitor. Dr. S took the time to question me about all the details, and he was so winsome, that I...

Dr. Ozgur performed lumbar stabilization from S1 to L3 in February 2020 (anterior and posterior). Prior to surgery the radiating pain, numbness, and weakness were limiting my physical activity and deteriorating my quality of life. Dr. Ozgur conservatively approached my condition and confirmed the...

Very short wait time (less than 5 minutes) to see the doctor. Dr Mikhail answered all my questions in a caring way. It's very easy to work with his staff on prescriptions and getting my test results. He is an excellent doctor with an excellent staff.

Twenty-five years ago I broke six bones in my right hand. Dr. Cook put it all back together, with my hand returning to full and complete function, and remains so, to this day, with no sign of Arthritis. A few years later He treated my broken ankle, resulting from a ski mishap, with the same...

Dr Wechsler is rushed, rude, dismissive, unfocused, and a remarkably poor communicator.

Dr. Everyman is such a great doctor. Not only professional but also kind and helpful. He knew my father could not wait that long for his stress test, so he rescheduled a earlier appointment. He is also very professional and explained everything clearly in details. Great experience. Strongly...

Very compassionate , patience, and bedside manner , very much recommend her

Nice place. Nice folks. Reminds me of those pink bears,”my hiney’s clean.” Put up with my corny jokes. Never got those flowers, though...! ??????

Great visit and very good doctor. She listens and gives great advice and plan of action, great decision to go to dr reddy.

A fine Doctor who is eminently qualified and whom I was lucky enough to get squeezed in for an appointment for a lower back and hip problem which was seriously interfering with my sleep and ambulating on stairs. After few questions about the nature of my pain, he proceeded to examine me and gave me...

He is the best Doctor.

I’m a relatively new patient of Dr. Reddy’s and I can tell you so far I’m extremely happy. She is very thorough, Knowledgeable, and Has a command of her overall practice . her bedside manner is second to none I would highly recommend her

Very careless. Wrong diagnosis Gives very little time. Over looks the reports causing patients to suffer and get critical

Everybody was very professional and friendly. Overall it was very good experience .

I started seeing doctor reddy a year ago and she is amazing , she identified, diagnosed, and took care of my tuberculosis. I owe her everything. highly recommend.

From day 1 with an issue with my bunion, Dr. Kaplan was engaging, professional and very knowledgeable about my issue. I felt completely comfortable with my decision for surgery. Surgery was scheduled and completed. Everything was explained as to what to expect and he was right on the money. I'm...

He left my 85 year old mother in tears because she needs immediate hand surgery and he doesn't take Medicare. When she refused to sign their waiver of Medicare (which meant Blue Cross wouldn't pay either), she wasn't allowed to even talk to the doctor. How can you treat people like this????

Dr Reddy is among the most proficient doctors in Orange County in her field. I would trust any advice she gave me because I have that much confidence in her. I highly recommend her

I'm a real patient that actually consistently goes to doctor Reddy and therefore my review is legit. She is awesome , period. Maybe there are some patients on here that saw her and she referred them out because she couldn't help them and they were upset at the world or something. But wouldn't...

Had a great experience was and out quickly and Dr. Reddy was very professional. I would also say she is very very smasrt and great bedside manner

Amazing Doctor and staff, highly recommend

Dr. Reddy is an exceptional Doctor Who knows her stuff. Her bedside manner is excellent along with everything else about her practice. Her staff Is awesome and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking great down to earth doctor.

Dr reddy is professional , thorough and for sure she is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. Down to earth but knowledgeable beyond expectations . One thing difficult for doctors when it comes to reviews is that they have no power to refute any accusations. This is because of Hippa laws ....

Dr. Reddy was my moms doctor while she was admitted to Foubtain Valley hospital. In the 11 days my mom was there note once did Dr. Reddy call me, even though I asked daily multiple times. In not returning my manu requests to speak to her directly she allowed continued care for my mom against what we...

Worse experience I’ve EVER had with any doctor out of Hoag. She was filling in for our PCP, Dr Creamer. She has no compassion, bed side manner. She obviously doesn’t care about her patients or anyone’s else’s patients. I would not ever recommend her to anyone or my dog!!!! Giving her a 1 star is...

Colonoscopy

He sells CBD and supplements from his lobby. He only fully sees you if you pay extra for concierge fees. At my New Patient visit, he saw me for 5 minutes, charged the copay of 60 dollars, charged insurance 500 dollars - billed that he saw me for 1 hour. Didn't let me talk. Didn't examine me. ...

If you don't fit the cookie cutter type pain, don't go to Dr Charlu. He has been good in the past for 1 time visits, when it comes to long time pain control, find another Pain management doctor. He lacks Candor, and does not explain criteria very well. And again when you need a doctor you can trust...

I have been a patient for many years and love Dr Alemzadeh. He is always friendly, professional and cares about my health. He has asked many questions and done tests to make sure he knows what the problem is. The staff is always professional and effective.

She took very little time to ask questions and understand my condition and appeared rush. No introduction when she came in

He really came in the room just for less the 5 minutes. I had knee replacement in 2018 and my knee is killing me as of today. Having revision knee replacement soon with another doctor.
