Southern California Orthopedic Institute - Westlake Village (CA)

1 /5 Atom Pilot: The day after my carpal tunnel surgery, SCOI sent in the paperwork to my employer( Los Angeles County Fire Department ) that I had no restrictions and I was returned to full duty. Unbeknownst to me. My hand was bandaged and I was in quite a bit of pain. When the “return to work department “ called and asked why I wasn’t at work I explained that I had just undergone surgery. They told me what SCOI had sent in to them. I went into SCOI to get the form changed and they refused to make any corrections. If you have a worker’s compensation injury that requires surgery, definitely avoid SCOI as they put you back on duty within minutes of you getting out of surgery.

5 /5 Tonette Barcellona: Dr. Auerbach at Southern California Orthopedic Institute is an amazing doctor. He is excellent in his field. Kind and listens to you and explains everything well. Appreciate him.

5 /5 Alberto F: The Rehab staff was the best! Jessica L. and Michael resolved my “frozen shoulder” diagnosed by Dr. Molnar In just a few painful months. Their care was to the point and yet with a touch of humor and care. Definitely recommend to ask for them.

5 /5 M Smith: I found it to be a very busy orthopedic practice but very efficiently run with very capable staff. The wait was not overly long abd a high degree of competent professionals. I felt very confident in the care of Dr. Molnar and his assessment of my orthopedic spine. I would definitely co spider staying in them care of Dr. Molnar. He also has an great staff

1 /5 Richard Stevens: The staff is friendly and professional, however each physical therapist sees 2-3 patients per time slot so each visit lacks personal attention. They charged my insurance $700-900 per visit, even when I am doing the stretches on my own without supervision. One example is they charged my insurance $75 ($300 per hr) for 15 mins on a traction machine that does not work. Often it is 30-40 mins before I am seen by a primary therapist. Often I am asked to do stretches on my own for 20-30 mins unsupervised. The traction equipment is out of date and often not functioning. Scheduled appts get canceled or rescheduled with little or same day notice. Again, while the staff is friendly and professional, this facility suffers from over scheduling patients, over crowding and too many patients per time slot. I canceled all future appts and I am going to a different PT center that provides a more personalized service. Btw, the cookie cutter “cut and paste” response you replied with is just an attempt at showing you replied. It is typical of the lack of personalized service you provide and the lack of true caring. You already have my name, and all my contact details in your records. If you really wanted to reach out directly, you already know how to contact me.
