0/10. Dr. Mendel's sloppy medical practice set me back over 2 years worth of training progress...., Apr 10, 2012 I injured my shoulder in 2010 while training with a barbell. This is the doctor I ended up going with while looking for a sports medicine doctor who specializes in shoulders. After waiting 3 months for my appointment, and 45 minutes waiting at their office for my appointment, I got maybe 5 minutes of time with the doctor. He ignored me completely when I tried explaining the type of pain I'm going through, and when the injury occurred. He injected my shoulder with cortizone, and told me it was just inflammation. In 2012, my shoulder is getting worse, to the point where I can't ignore the pain at all. I schedule an appointment with a different doctor and the University of Iowa, and on the first appointment, they schedule an arthrogram and MRI. The MRI confirmed that I have a tear in my labrum. If Dr. Mendel would have listened to me, this would have been dealt in 2010, and I would be able to continue training. But now I need surgery, and recovery looked like it'll take between 6-12 months. I can't train during that time. All this because Dr. Mendel refused to give quality healthcare (but still charge a premium healthcare price). My only regret is that this review will give Dr. Mendel 1 star, when it's currently at 0. |

Southwest Medical Center Should Be Avoided At All Costs...., Mar 17, 2012 Dr Bergfeld is a good doctor, but the staff of Southwest Medical Center are some of the most discourteous, inefficient and vile folks you'll ever deal with and this is not my unique experience. They don't answer the phones and when they do, they either disconnect you, connect you to the wrong doctor, or just totally unprofessional. If your time and happiness are important to you, this is not the place to choose. |

Excellent cosmetic surgeon who is very comforting and has the eye of an artist...., Feb 28, 2012 I was nervous about my visit. However, Dr. Steinsapir has a very impressive website and the information seems very in depth. He is a board certified ophthalmologist and is on staff at UCLA. He fellowship trained in both cosmetic surgery and oculofacial surgery. I got a goofy under eye Restylane treatment at another office with lumps under my eyes that have never been right. I was told by my original surgeon who is a very famous Beverly Hills surgeon that there was nothing wrong and the material disappears anyway. That was a year ago. Well within 15 seconds of being injected by Dr. Steinsapir with an enzyme these ugly bumps were gone. Since then I have had his microdroplet BOTOX, a patented method that is amazing and also under eye Restylane. Literally I look 15 years younger. I highly recommend this doctor! |

Bad bed side manner, suprisingly rude and condesending. Don..., Feb 9, 2012 I was a little taken back by his rudeness. I will not be going back to him. He did not even bother to say goodby when we left. Not a good experience for me and my child. Right from the moment he come in he was abrupt and condescending. I completely closed down and had a hard time interacting with him because of this. I normally don't write reviews but felt upset by his comments and attitude. |

Very pleasant experience with Dr. Montalbano and Staff..., Dec 19, 2011 At this point in time I have not had any surgeries. I found out about Dr. Montalbano when I was searching for GHI doctors on the GHI website. Also when I consulted with a workers compensation attorney the told me about Dr. Montalbano’s website and credentials. I have to say my experience over all has been going well with Regional Orthopedics, although I am still experiencing some pain but this is due to the fact that I am waiting on workers comp. to be approved. After all is said and done I am very pleased so far with the staff at regional orthopedics and the staff at peak performance. |
