Anatol Podolsky's Online Review Report Card

Worst Ortho Ive Encountered

This doctor has no empathy for his patients and will perform any surgery to make himself rich. Office is so outdated while he drives around in convertible black Mercedes. They have worst office staff Ive ever dealt with, continually sends invoices that have already been paid my insurance. Get yourself a malpractice attorney if you use this Doctor!!

After seeing other knee replacement surgeries and hearing of their progress, I felt very lucky to have had Dr. Podolsky.

This doctor did not seem to care one bit about your health. Of you ask a question hell respond with an attitude. Also delayed my PT a month because he wouldnt answer questions about my surgery...

They are the best.

Hes the worst dr .hes so stupid person he made me cry for pain he touch me my shoulder and he want I moved and I had a lot pain.

Thank you Dr and staff. I am back to normal thanks to you!

HE KNOWS HIS BUSINESS !! After others said my issues could not be fixed, he did. Very highly recommended

Dr.Podolsky saw me and asked me to bring in my last set of leg xrays which were over 2 years old. I explained the pain has gotten much worse and Im at pain even when laying down or pushing on the pedal when driving. He looked at my 2 YEAR OLD xrays said its shin splints. Ive had severe shin splints so I know what kind of pain that is and this was not it. He didnt even look at my legs until I pointed at my black/blue bruises that NEVER EVER go away. I explained I gained 20 pounds in 2 years because of my leg pain and not being able to run and train. He said before we do anything you need to loose weight. Lets make an appointment for 2 months from now and see if you can loose the weight. He than gave me his resume an how he worked with Olympians and how they are 105 pounds in order to train. HE NEVER ORDERED NEW XRAYS, BONE SCANS, or offered an explanation of what it would be. I said I literally cant unless I starve. He said try to loose the weight and come back. I filed a grievance with Healthnet against him as he did NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I dont care if someone comes in obese, you still treat the problem! He never treated the problem or at the very least ordered new xrays. Stay away from him. Bottom line: Wait time = short Payment = cash/ck only, no CCs they must be in the stone age. Bedside Manor = condescending Diagnosis = wrong

For 5 years I had been receiving spinal injections to relieve my back pain finally, the injections just didnt work and I was referred to Dr. Podolsky for surgery. I had given up on virtually all my activities My back & leg pain made surfing, running and a simple task of grocery shopping impossible. Dr. Podolsky fused my L4/L5; inserted a bridge and a disk and the moment I woke up from the anesthesia I was pain free. Four months later Im surfing, running and shopping all pain free. I have my quality of life back. Dr. Podolsky is a miracle worker with a wonderful bedside manner. He spends time with you and listens to what you have to say I never felt rushed. His staff makes every effort to be personable and provides prompt professional service. I highly recommend Dr. Podolsky hes truly amazing.
