Orthopaedic Associates (OH) Reviews ( 217 )

  1. Doctor Cotman was amazing he did a total hip replacement for me and everything was perfect Recovery was much faster than I could have imagined I was back to walking and living a pain free life in a very short time. I will be going back for the other hip very soon I wouldn’t go to anyone else . He’s the best!

  2. One star is too much . DO NOT GO HERE !!! I’ve got a bigger problem now , poor follow up after an injury involving multiple fractures. I will need further treatment after their ignorance and poor follow up . BEWARE !!!!

  3. Dr Martinez is the worst dr I have ever come across…does not care about his patients what so ever ..will never go back to this office as long as he is a dr. ..

  4. They don’t know how to file paperwork properly , Julie their secretary should be fired . I have been waiting 3 weeks for a cat scan on a broken work because she messed up the paperwork

  5. My daughter had a buckle fracture in her wrist and they wouldn’t see her since the referral wasn’t from the ER and we had caresorce insurance. She needed to be seen that day. Beyond livid with this place!!!

  6. Dr. was a little rude in wanting to know why a MRI was done and why I was referred. I think he should have asked the prescribing doctor rather than me, the patient.

  7. Very friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and courteous staff. Welcoming and comfortable environment. Provided excellent in-house care and exercises to do at home which helped me quite a bit.

  8. Dr Roberts literally gave me my well being back . I can now do things I was not able to do for years . I would highly recommend Dr Roberts and the type of Surgery I had. I am one Happy Man !

  9. If u miss any appointments for any reason they won’t see u again. I have 2 kids and I’m pregnant and I can’t see any of their docs because I cancelled some appointments. They didn’t even ask​ why they didn’t care.

  10. Dr. Smith ignored everything I said, treated me for a hand sprain after knowing I have a cyst in my hand causing pain and treated me like a piece of meat. Left before I could ask questions, gave very little information. At least he gave me a shot of cortisone that stopped the pain for a month.

  11. well ill try to keep this short but id be lying if i do, so here it goes. i was referred to M.D. maheshwer, conjeevaram after my work-injury and thats when i really thought that it was the right choice , on the first visit he seemed caring, …

  12. Went there for my shoulder, well after getting MRI Dr.Smith said there was nothing he could do for me after crying for six months with my shoulder..after leaving there with no hope for help i found a place called the shoulder institute of …

  13. I have nothing but great things to say about this office!!!! The front dest ladies are wonderful and my doctor and his nurse were very professional and caring at the same time. Thank You!

  14. I am always very happy at Orthopaedic Assoc. All the doctors are very knowledgeable and concerned about what I’m going thru. Diagnose’s are always spot on and treatments are healing. 5 star!!

  15. From my first appointment at Orthopedic Associates, I have had nothing but a good experience. From the staff to Dr. Mandel through surgery and follow up, I have not been disappointed.

  16. I went to this place for treatment of my shoulder starting in August 2019. I was seeing Dr. Smith who didn’t do anything for me. What he told me a person on the street could tell me and get the money. I went to 5 appointments and then I had to get another opinion.

  17. The desk staff and nurse were rude and condescending. Made my experience pretty bad. The pediatric doc was great though. I guess that’s what really matters in the end.

  18. Dr. de Swart spent a good amount of time before and after the surgery explaining what was wrong and what he did to fix it.
    Therapy has been what is expected. However, that have been able to make it tolerable.

  19. I’ve been going to the early morning sessions with Vicky and they’ve been really great for my shoulder. Vicky is awesome – she makes adjustments to my work every session to address small creaks and aches and really helps keep the variety engaging.

  20. From the very beginning thru today, this orthopedic group runs this operation like a Henry Ford assembly line.. Fast paced, looking to for profit over quality of care.. I like to put it greedy and the man whose nearly 70 who administers the …

  21. I was seen by Dr. Lowery sometime in March and after and MRI and the whole process being rushed I was told to find a new doctor closer to home. Well it is now may 1 and I get an email saying I’ve been terminated. I called my place of …

  22. Sent me to get an X-ray. When they found out I didn’t have a stress fracture (which I knew) they just said okay three weeks off. Knew I had struggled with ankle issues yet never took the time to help me figure out why, so this could stop …

  23. The PTs are great so this review is not a reflection on their work. Why I give this company 1 star is because of their extreme greed. The physical therapists at every session I went to are double and triple booked so it is hard to get …

  24. Dr Lowery shook my hand at the ER and charged me $200 …. I’m not kidding. He was unwilling to reverse the charge . He never even saw me because I canceled the appt because they were not h-cap. Absolutely aweful place and super shady with very rude front desk women must absolutely hate their lives ….

  25. Best surgeons around. Dr Robert Deswart fixed my leg and my shoulder. Very quick recovery. Feels better than ever. Would never even know I broke them. They don’t price gouge either like some doctors and hospitals do. You actually get something for your money with OAI.

  26. I had a total knee replacement 2 years ago by Dr. Jesse Templeton. The entire staff there (at Avon and Westlake offices) were very courteous and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Templeton.

  27. All our experiences at Orthopaedic Associates have been outstanding, with special mention of Drs. Meheshwer and Shaia. I’d also like to commend those who answer the phone and the questions and still remain patient and helpful

  28. I see Dr. Shiah for my spine. He is awesome. Always friendly, even tho he seems rushed at times. He still makes up for it by being attentive outside of my appointment times and always returns messages. Thank you!

  29. Dr. Samir Shia is the best Orthopedic doctor for me. He is considerate, kind and always answers my questions. I would always recommend Dr. Shia to my friends and acquaintances. I began seeing Dr. Shia in Lakewood, Ohio 4 years ago. I want to thank Dr. Shia. He’s the best!

  30. No complaints. Busy place but didn’t think the wait was inordinate. Dr. Maheshwar was thorough, pleasant, and reassuring. So was everyone encountered. Granted, I have no issue that requires any further treatment but I wouldn’t hesitate to return to pursue other needs.

  31. This review is on behalf of my 80 year old mother-in-law (who doesn’t own a computer). She saw Dr. Martinez for a broken knee-cap. . Her words for him were “warm, friendly, mannerly, courteous, awesome.” Thank you, Dr. Martinez!

  32. I have seen Dr. Templeton and Dr. Shaia they are both incredible. They have taken care of all my needs in a timely manner. They both listen to what I needed and remembered. That is a rare thing today.

  33. Agree with other posts. They are more concerned about what insurance you have then what your injury or need for a visit is. Rude over the phone and clearly unethical and unprofessional. Broke a bone and the unprofessional nonmedically …

  34. Mrs. Gordon was pt. not Mr. as it shows above. Saw Dr. Martinez and he was wonderful. My visit wasn’t too detailed due to the nature of my problem, but non the less, he was attentive and pleasant!

  35. Dr.Lowry very unfriendly . Never felt compasion that you get as a patient ,always rushed . He gave me a diagnosis from the door ! Never felt any kindness from the doctors at all. The nurses were more friendly than the actual doctors.

  36. I liked Orthopaedic Assoc. From the first appt. on.
    From the welcoming front desk to nurses. Dr. Shia makes you feel at ease and answers all questions. Nurse Latrese is a ray of sunshine. Best nurse I’ve ever had. Puts you at ease. Feel like I’ve known her forever. Caring and knowledgeable. Thank you all.

  37. I’m actually the wife, Crystal Phoenix. After an ER visited I was referred to them as my hand needed checked in 48 hours. At first the phone call seemed ok, but then she asked for the insurance. I explained we were recently married, I …

  38. I was quite nervous, not knowing what to expect.
    Everyone was very pleasant, professional and gracious. The Dr was great and the injection was pretty close to painless and very fast.

  39. We met with Dr. Irwin Mandel for my son’s dislocated shoulder. Dr. Mandel could not have been more knowledgeable or helpful. If you have an athlete with a hurt shoulder, you can’t do better than Dr. Mandel.

  40. 8am appt. Time, seen at 8:25.xrays,injection, eval all promptly completed with excellent service. Reception, LPN, and xray tech all very courteous and helpful
    . Very pleased with my care and thank you to Dr. Swendeman!

  41. Dr. Shaia spoke to me in a very calming voice while he was doing the procedure,& his assistant was very informative,& nice also. I ast down to wait,& was called inside of a couple seconds. I like Dr. Horwood, too!

  42. Always easy to get an appointment (way easier than local hospitals!) and the doctors and staff are very friendly and listen to my needs. I’ve been going there since 2009 and won’t go anywhere else for my bones and joints!

  43. I’m really sad that I have to write this review but I have to share what happened. When I first had my evaluation by Paul, I showed him,on printedout documents, what I was currently exercising/working on. he literally gave me exact same …

  44. I would like to thank Sharie for the kindness and compassion she showed me during my stitch removal and bandage during the followup on my hand surgery. She made the experience a -pleasant one..

  45. This review is not in regards to the knowledge of their PT staff. They work with what they have and I appreciated their attempt to help me out. However, the company itself is greedy and overcharges for their treatment. First visit I met …

  46. Every appointment was very rushed. Intense pain was of no concern to their physical therapy Dept.( they do not have an open line of communication with Doctor). Because he was not listening when I said “I snapped my knee back” it took 2 1/2 …

  47. I went and saw Dr. Smith, and it was the worst experience of my life. I had hurt my knee a few days before and I knew it was something more than a sprain (I had sprained my meniscus a few years back). Dr. Smith rushed the appointment and I …

  48. The therapist are awesome they helped 100%. They are very caring and supportive. I couldn’t of done any of the therapy without their help.
    Keep up the great work you do every day.

  49. I’m a patient of Dr Shia. He and the entire staff treated me really well during my recent treatment for herniated disc in my back. I was very scared to have the procedure done. Dr Shia put my concerns and fears to rest. I was in and done before I knew it. I highly recommend him.

  50. In May of 2018, Dr. Elyaderani successfully performed a total hip replacement on me.
    In May of 2019, Dr. Elyaderani repaired a seriously damaged Rotator Cuff for me. …

  51. Very long waits, doctor cancelled appts all the time with little to no notice. And they are not interested in helping you get better, just billing insurance and keeping you coming back. …

  52. Great experience! It’s hard to believe how quickly I was in and out of your Westlake facility. I expect my recovery will be just as fast. The entire staff was extremely kind and professional; especially, Dr. Mandel. Kudo’s to all!

  53. I went here for the first time in 15 years today. After reading some of these negative reviews, I braced myself for some crappy service. Glad to say it never happened. From the lady who answered the phone, to the receptionists at the …

  54. I fractured my wrist 5/17/19. Both the Avon and Westlake offices were wonderful. I got in to see Dr. Lew right away that following Monday & was scheduled to see Dr. Elyaderani 2 days later. They scheduled my surgery 2 days following that. …

  55. i fell and tore up my shoulder. the doctors at OPA were very professional and went over my options thoroughly during my consultation. the surgery was scheduled quickly and came off without a hitch. the rehabilitation went well and today …

  56. I lucked up and found ” the best” orthopedic surgeon!!! I have worked in the healthcare industry for 22 years and I have had several orthopedics surgeries. I always felt that ortho surgeons have a God complex and always seem to not have …

  57. Dr Michael Lew performed my knee replacement about 9 years ago. My knee is still going strong pain free. I researched surgeons and had the pleasure of working with all of them. …

  58. My husband and a co-worker recommended Orthopaedic Associates to me when I had problems with my foot, hand, knee and hip at different times over the years. Drs. Hritz, Maheshewar and Lew were all wonderful and resolved every issue. Can’t say enough good things about their excellent care.

  59. I recently had the displeasure of being seen by Dr. Martinez. I re-injured an old knee injury back in October 2018 but was still having pain months later (At the time of this writing, which is January 2019). Dr. Martinez came in , took one …

  60. If I could give more stars, I would. I first saw one of their doctors to evaluate my knee. Surgery was optional, but my knee kept spontaneously giving out, averaging once a day. I was afraid of either falling downstairs or becoming road …

  61. Absolutely had a wonderful experience! Dr Templeton is remarkable! I will recommend him always! Great Dr. wonderful bedside manner! Straight forward! The staff and PT are A+!!! Not sorry for making the decision to come here! Thank you all for all you do!!

  62. My mom is 85 years old and had hip replacement surgery by Dr. Mandel. It has been over 3 months now and she is doing wonderful. She is in no pain anymore. She just had a follow up exray and the Dr. said everything looks great. We couldn’t …

  63. Everyone at Orthopaedic Associates are great. Check in is easy and minimal wait time. Always. Dr. Lew, as always, is attentive and listens. I never feel rushed. Plus, they have very convenient, close in parking, truly important when your knees are shot.

  64. Dr. Maheshwer helped me when the surgeon who did my acl would not listen to me. He agreed to see me and took one look at my knee and said it needs drained. He treated my knee and it got better right away. How I wish he had done the acl …

  65. Tyler Ganelli my physical therapist was both friendly and knowledgeable.
    He took my doctor’s diagnosis and explained to me the exercises needed to facilitate my healing and recovery. He showed me how to maintain good form and gave me …

  66. Dr. Shaia did an excellent job taking care of the pain in my back with arthritis with the radio frequency ablation. I highly recommend him. This is the second time I had the procedure done by him. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome

  67. I had a pretty badly torn rotator cuff and Dr. Mandel and the whole staff at Orthopaedic Associates were outstanding. From the diagnosis, the surgery and to the rehab – they were there to answer all my question and help me rehab the …

  68. From start to finish I receive the best care at Orthopaedic Associates. The front desk staff and kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. Latrese is AMAZING!! She eases all my worries and does such a great job. Dr. Shaia is the only doctor I …

  69. Exceptional service! Friendly caring staff, along with Dr. Martinez they make each visit a pleasure. I was recently hurt after a fall and they got me in quickly and treated me. My recovery was quick and I am almost COMPLETELY pain free!

  70. I’ve had surgery on both shoulders since the beginning of this year (2020) and my surgeon (Dr, Mandel) did an excellent job! The staff is professional, kind and prompt for my appointments and other needs. I used the OA Physical Therapy …

  71. Awesome care from my team! Thanks a ton to Melissa Wallace, Pablo Cabezon and Michelle Bonk for helping me with my lower back pain that was keeping me from having a fun summer. Service was quick and everyone was extremely professional and …

  72. Once again the docs at Orthopaedic Associates took great care of me. This time it was Dr Mandel doing my knee. Down through the years they’ve repaired my back, shoulder and other knee. I’d recommend these guys to anyone.

  73. I have had a couple of the doctors in this practice take care of me. I feel that they have given me exceptional care. They always treat me kindly as well as professionally. I also highly recommend their physical therapists. My experience …

  74. Dr. Lew and Dr. Mandel helped when I tore my rotator cuff. Surgery was the best thing that I did. Dr. Lew and Dr. Mandel are very caring, efficient, knowledgeable and supportive to your needs. In addition, the physical therapy staff at Avon helped me regain my strength and flexibility after surgery. Thank you!

  75. Great Place. I’ve worked with two physical therapist Tyler and Pamela for about 4 weeks now. Both were attentive, took the time to explain how to do the exercises. I would recommend working with either one. DR Irwin Mandel took the time to explain my injuries and answered any questions I may have had.

  76. If I could give Orthopedic Associates zero stars, I would. BEWARE OF DR. LEW. I saw Dr. Lew back in January for an injury that I had sustained to my foot. Dr. Lew made me wait 45 minutes to be seen and only saw me for 5 minutes. His …

  77. Orthopaedic Associates did a great job. They were able to get me in quickly when I broke my leg and remained responsive the remainder of the healing time. All of the staff are friendly, professional and very good at what they do!

  78. I really like and respect the doctors I’ve seen at Orthopaedic Associates. My experiences have been at the Avon facility in the last few months. It’s so nice that they take the time to listen to questions and concerns. Another plus of …

  79. Dr Lowry never introduced himself to me, a new patient referred from the Fairview Hospital ER. His immediate reaction was to recommend returning to the ER, that he could do nothing for me. He performed a cursory 5 minute examination, moving …

  80. I had ACL surgery in March of 21. I was a college athlete, currently a firefighter paramedic and a baseball coach. When I first sat down with Dr. Mandel he assured me of the quality of rehab at OA. First, I am so thankful of how fast I was …

  81. My wife is a patient for a knee replacement and had surgery 1 week ago today. Today is the day before Thanksgiving. She was running low on pain meds and and called to get refill. The reception staff was unhelpful, uncaring and …

  82. Dr. Lowry has been great throughout my procedure. Great work but especially listens to concerns and shares details of what’s to be expected and what’s been done. He and the office have been excellent dealing with paperwork and my …

  83. I have graduated from physical therapy with my shoulder 100%. From Dr. Mandel and his staff to the excellent therapists that worked with me, I want to thank each of you. I have and will continue to wave the flag of Orthopedic Associates to …

  85. Had a knee injury that resulted in surgery with Dr Mandel. Having had 2 arthroscopies on my other knee, I knew what to expect. Dr Mandel was very professional and thorough and certainly would put a novice at ease. He answered all my …

  86. If there is zero star I will give them. They wanted to do surgery for my daughter for a very simple injury. We told the doctor that we are not willing to go with the surgery option and will use a splint instead. Two days later we received a …

  87. Little to no waiting to see the doctor. Friendly and attentive front desk and radiology staff.
    Dr. Mandel took good care of me and answered my questions. He noticed I didn’t …

  88. I can’t praise Dr. Jeffrey Roberts enough–or thank him enough–for his skill and kindness. The back surgery he performed has given me my life back–pain free and fully functional without medication. Maybe the results aren’t miraculous, but that’s how they feel.

  89. The physicians are top notch. Nurses are wonderful. Front desk? Not so much. After telling the receptionist on my way out that the doctor wanted me back in 3 weeks. She asked what time of day I preferred, which I told her. I also told her …

  90. Dr. Mandel is an excellent surgeon, forthright and pleasant. I highly recommend him. The staff is is great and helpful. I have been having serious issue since I had ACL reconstruction by another (unnamed) surgeon 3 years prior due to a …

  91. I had my knee replaced in February 2022. My Surgeon was Dr. Lew. I had the surgery done at Avon Cleveland Clinic. Was never given any pre-instructions prior to the surgery. I felt like I was missing something- I had to keep going to the …

  92. Dr Mandel is amazing and so is the rest of the staff here. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel right at ease.
    Dr Mandel runs on time, which I really appreciate. And you don’t feel rushed …

  93. Total shoulder replacement 5.31.22 by Dr. Mandel. Great pre-op evaluations – he is a physician first and looked for non-surgical ways to address my issues. But surgery was the necessary path forward. The surgery was brilliant; I was “out” …

  94. The doctors and nurse in this place, amazing!! Front desk?! Not so much! Super rude & always with an attitude. Today i missed my appointment by like 15 mins and the lady called me with an attitude immediately so i gave An attitude back and …

  95. My husband Mike, had a right total knee by Dr. Templeton on 3/3/22. Our entire experience with Dr. Templeton and everyone that we have come in contact with has been unbelievably superb. Dr. Templeton’s surgical finesse, his professional and …

  96. I having been a patient of Dr Strimbu’s for 12+ years. The best doctor I have ever met.
    I have also seen Dr Mandel and found him just as wonderful. …

  97. This is the BEST Therapy facility I have ever been at. I have seen great results and healing for many issues including rotator cuff tear, 2 knee replacements, spinal stenosis,and an impinged shoulder. I highly recommend this place above any other place I have gone to.

  98. Very professional. Everything has been explained to me. Everyone has kept in contact and made my knee replacement much easier. All options were explained to me and I knew exactly what to expect.

  99. Very conscientious and detailed. Extremely courteous and approachable. Answered all questions and really felt that my input mattered. Tremendous experience with the surgery and follow up care.

  100. Dr. Maheshwar is very caring, knowledgeable and experienced doctor. He responds to phone calls within 24 hours and answers questions in a very gentle manner with details explained. Easy to get appointments and staff is polite and helpful as well.

  101. Dr. Mandell performed surgery on my meniscus tear. His explanation of the tear, his description of the surgery and post-op and his bedside manner were superb. After the operation, as I was leaving the hospital I truly wondered if anything …

  102. Everyone there is absolutley amazing. From the receptionist to the physicians. Scheduling is easy and quick and is easy to see that they really care about you. …

  103. I can’t speak for the rest of the doctors there, but I can give high praise for Dr Shaia. I’ve been dealing with a health issue that’s yet to be fully diagnosed but he’s gone out of his way to help. Of the 30+ doctors I’ve seen over the …

  104. Dr Lew, as far as I can tell, did a fine job replacing my hip. However, even after a year, I still had trouble sitting, sleeping on that side, and more pain than I would have expected. A big issue with sciatica made driving long distances …

  105. Disgusted with Dr Roberts. He did not listen to a word I said, he acted like I was lying and acted like I didnt have insurance.
    I have had chronic back pain for 8 yrs. recently it has started to get worse. …

  106. Dr. Hardy and Dr. Shaia are absolutely the best. I would not go to any other Orthopaedic group in Cleveland. They are very knowledgeable, caring and when needed, think outside the box.

  107. Everything went as expected. The staff was very professional and explained everything. It took a little longer to get started because of the high number of patients getting surgery that morning. Otherwise the surgery went well and recovery is also going well. Big THANKS to Dr. Elyaderani and his staff for a smooth surgery.

  108. Had a total knee replacement with Dr. Lew. The surgery and follow-up were great. I had minimal swelling, the incision healed very nicely, and I have full range of motion with that knee again!!

  109. Avon Orthopedic was a God send to me. Dr Hardy was recommended to me by a friend. They took care of my back pain and I feel the best I have felt in 25 years. The staff and front office staff are all wonderful and very professional.

  110. Overall history between my family and myself really great response, I’d definitely not rely on the patient portal.
    Communication is slow and difficult to navigate through to find clinical …

  111. Five months after my rotator cuff and bicep surgery by Dr. Mandel I have the majority of my strength and use of my shoulder back. I am very grateful for Dr. Mandel and his entire staff for their expertise and compassion. The PT department was also excellent.

  112. I’ve enjoyed the compassionate care of three doctors with this practice, from a back doctor to a knee replacement surgeon, as well as another doc who showed exactly where in my back via cool technology he was going to give me shots to …

  113. I just love the staff at the Avon location. The nurses and office staff are very caring, kind and pleasant, they even treat you like you’re one of their own family members. Overall, Dr. Templeton is the icing on the cake. He has provided …
