Review of Southwest Orhopaedic Surgery S...

I will begin by saying that Dr. Amini is FANTASTIC...

I will begin by saying that Dr. Amini is FANTASTIC!!! The X-Ray technician is as well! Five stars for the two of them. However, the office staff could clearly use some assistance. They will take well over a week to call after anything - I waited a week and a half after being told by Dr. Amini that I needed an MRI before they actually sent the insurance approval to Radiology Ltd for them to schedule it with me. I called my insurance and they said they already approved it and it was an issue to take up with the doc's office. Now, over a week AFTER my MRI, I'm still waiting for them to schedule me for a follow-up appointment. I just called the office and the lady told me someone will have to check their fax to see if they received it and then the doc has to review it. Considering I, as a patient, was able to see my report and images almost a week ago on the Radiology Ltd website, I'm positive the doc's office has already received them. Nothing like going from actue pain to chronic pain due to office staff incompetence. Also, I can agree with many others regarding an atmosphere of unprofessionalism. After an MA left my exam room, he went out and made comments about my weight to the PA...yes, I am 160 lbs, and yes, I am 5'3". Prior gymnast and swimmer and currently a size 4. Why he felt the need to discuss that in such a manner is beyond me and even as a 28 year old, it still hit me pretty hard - just a basic rudeness and lack of common decency. All of that being said, if you want an AMAZING doc, go see Amini...just be prepared to shuffle through some of the things I and others have written on our reviews.
