Long Beach Lakewood Orthopedic Institute

Fantastic experience: The staff and treatment here is excellent. Dr. Mina helped me not only with the injury I came in for but also gave me advice on other injuries I was in the process of healing. Sam, one of the PT aids, is great at her job, she is very kind and hard working and always knew all of her patients names. Thanks to everyone here I feel strong and pain free again!

Fantastic experience: Dr Wassef and his entire staff are the most compassionate caring people. I have been a patient at his office for 2 years now and have a very complicated knee but w the extreme knowledge, patience, and true support from Dr. Wassef, Jason, Liz and his other staff I am finally doing things I’ve always loved to do. I don’t ever think thank you will ever be enough for the way I feel. Dr. Wassef has the most incredible skills and I could not have ever been in better hands, than with him and his incredible staff. For anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon I always say to go see Dr. Wassef. He’s the BEST!

Fantastic experience: I found the entire staff to be friendly and professional. The physical therapist and therapy aides took the time to teach me stretches and practical movements and explain to me why the movements would help. I am definitely an advocate for this business. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Very skilled and professional! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Dr Andrew Wassef successfully replaced my hip May 2022. After my 11 day post op follow-up I was able to make 3 full swing 7 irons into my backyard net. My surgery went so perfect that and I went home the same day.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Long Beach orthopedic institute. Its clean and professional place. Dr send me on therapy and therapist figured out its a different problem and fixed it. You get a good care there and I got also from Mina recommendations for exercises for my sports. Thanks

Fantastic experience: This is my second time going to physical therapy for an injury, and I wish I had known of this place my first time. Mina and his aides care so much about their patients making sure they are able to provide the best service to them no matter the condition they come in. I came here for a few months for my case, and after each visit, even the busy days, I left feeling like I was attended to properly. The ladies at the front desk who check you in and out always greeted me with a hello and smile. On days when I didn't feel 100%, Mina and the aide's outlook to continue moving forward helped get through those days. Recovery can be an up and down journey, but it is helpful to have a PT like Mina and his staff there provide guidance and support. If you ever find yourself in need of physical therapy, Mina and the staff at Long Beach Lakewood Orthopedic Institute should be your first choice.

Fantastic experience: From the very beginning, this has been a very professional and friendly partnership. Mina, the Physical Therapist has been working diligently with me and my improvement with a rotator cuff tear and frozen shoulder has been extremely productive and helpful. The pain before coming here was an 11 out of 10. I had very limited mobility and was I was very discouraged. I’m not through yet, but my pain is substantially reduced, mobility way up and there is a bright light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I highly recommend Mina Sidarous. He won’t let you down.

Fantastic experience: I consider Dr Wassef and his surgical team lifesavers. For several years I was going around thinking my hip(s) were irreparable. Not only did he and his staff give me hope, they gave me back a quality of life that I had not had for many years. Everyone from the receptionist, nurses PA’s and x-ray techs we’re extremely courteous and professional.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the PT department at the Lakewood office. A very professional staff that is committed to total patient care and rehabilitation.

Fantastic experience: I had a torn meniscus and sprained MCL the PT was great. He was gentle with my leg and always explained what he was going to do before doing it. He would use medical terminology but then explain things for me to understand. Great place to go, I’ll be walking with out crutches soon.

Fantastic experience: I'm not sure why there are bad reviews for this physical therapy location. I tore my ACL and meniscus and the care and service I received from the staff was great. I went there for 36 appointments over about a year or so with my surgery being after the first 12. Everyone was very nice there. Nancy, Khang, Damian, Valeria, and Arianna (Sorry if I misspelled any of your names) are all pleasant people. You may have to let Damian know if you are extra sore one week because he does work you out lol. I would definitely recommend them because I trust them and have bad experiences at a couple other places.

Fantastic experience: My mother had to start going here for some shoulder pain. I decided to go with her because I didn't want her to be ignored by a new doctor. She saw Dr Christopher Combs who was truly amazing! He is kind and listens and shows a respect for the patient's wishes and knowledge of what they are experiencing in their own body! I hope this review leads more people there because those kinds of doctors are hard to find.

Positive experience: I have been a patient here for approximately one month. I have been treated by everyone, including the front office staff with nothing bur friendliness and mutual respect. I'm getting a bit stronger and hoping to dodge another surgery, because if I'm stronger, maybe the pain shall abait a bit. I think if anyone stopped and asked the staff how their day was, and treated them nice, you'd be surprised how nice they are. Thank you.
