Derek Dee's Online Review Report Card

Oh my where to begin! First I’d like to say I wish there was something I could do or say other than a simple thank you, but Thank you Dr.Dee and his wonderful staff who have done nothing but move mountains and part oceans for me. Making me feel like a part of their family with all the love and care they’ve shown me while being a patient of theirs. Dr.Dee is nothing short of Miracle worker and a Blessing. He brought my Knee back to normal in what feels such a short time. I know I still have more to go but I can walk and do the things I love again all because of him. I came to him a year ago with with a knee injury that revealed to be worse than just ouch it hurts. I had everything an athlete or service member would fear. Meniscus tear, Acl/Mcl tears, A hole in my cartilage of the knee which is called a divot I believe. All in one knee. I was a little worried and saddened by the news but Dr. Dee assured me that he would be able to get me back and going again . He also is the first Dr. to use a new method of surgery in which he used donor cartilage to cover up the hole I had in my own cartilages instead of the old method in which they poke your bone to cause bleeding so that your body repairs naturally. As you know cartilage does not grow back. Because of all of his work and passion for helping out the community in under a year I was able to jog and do light work around the house, some light exercise and even basketball. I thought my life was over and Dr. Dee brought me back to life. If you are looking for Care please give them a call just as I did, and I’m glad I ever did. Thanks again Dr.Dee!

I've had severe knee instability following an injury 10+ years ago, that I just lived with and accepted as normal after so long. I was referred to Dr. Dee, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to visit Dr. Dee. Immediately after the surgery, I felt stability I hadn't felt for so long. He gave me my knee back, and I couldn't be more grateful. His staff, particularly Erica and Christy, were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I was doing alright both before and after the surgery. I've never experienced a physician's office like this! Dee Sports Orthopedics also used OutcomeMD to measure my symptoms before and during my treatment.My Pain Symptom Score was 60 before surgery and my score has improved to 90 so far!Thank you Dee Sports Orthopedics and Derek Dee for helping me get such a great outcome!

Dr. Dee went above and beyond to address and repair all aspects of my complicated knee surgery. He is a highly skilled & thorough surgeon, explains healing strategies well, and makes sure the follow up care is done completely as possible.

Dr. Dee and his staff are terrific. In a skiing accident three years ago, I tore three different muscles plus my rotator cuff in my left shoulder. Dr. Dee quickly assessed the damage, and subsequently conducted arthroscopic surgery to put it back together. Initial recovery was slow, and it eventually took another 9 months to regain my confidence and get back on the slopes. Almost exactly one year to the day after the accident on my first morning in the mountains, another skier side swiped me out of nowhere and we both went down in a heap. Of course, I fell on my surgically repaired shoulder. I was out of mind that all was lost after surgery and one year of rehab. Fortunately, no damage was done and I've been skiing and getting stronger ever since. Many thanks to Dr. Dee and his staff for making me whole again and bringing skiing back into my life.

I had left shoulder surgery October 23 2018 at Robotics Outpatient Center - Roc LA. I had left shoulder impingement syndrome long head of the biceps rupture, rotator cuff disease, acromioclavicular joint degenerative disease and a labral tear and extensive posterior labral tear and posterior complete humeral avulsion glenohumeral ligament tear. I personally was concerned about having surgery because I never had any surgery before in my life but I have to tell you that the surgery went really well, I had no pain what so ever I went to every physical therapy appointment and I have 100% range of motion I have the upmost respect for Dr Dee I think he is a great Dr. And I would recommend him to anyone and I have. My recovery time was exceptional, I went back to work at light duty in 2mos and full duty 2 mos after that, I've been water sking snow sking and throwing chains at work with absolutely no problems. I give Dr Dee 5 stars most definitely

Dr. Dee is an exceptional doctor and I cannot thank him enough for healing my shoulder. After a major snowboarding accident, I was left with several labral tears, a partial rotator cuff tear, and MDI, which involves labral tears as well as capsule-ligaments that have been stretched and are loose. Since capsule-ligaments are thin and can heal loose, like the elastic band of a sock, it can be difficult for the MRI to gauge how loose they are. Therefore it is the job of the physician to diagnose and treat it appropriately. After 6 months of physical therapy in an attempt to refrain from surgery, my shoulder was still dislocating and was very loose when doing normal tasks. At this point, Dr. Dee made the call to perform surgery. Surgery is not an easy choice to make and and although my recovery was long and required a lot of dedication and hard work in physical therapy on my end, I could not have asked for a better experience. I felt supported and encouraged throughout the entire process and was given everything I needed for a full recovery. Now my shoulder is even stronger and more functional than it was before. To enhance my recovery, I also received several regenerative injections from Dr. Dee which seemed to help significantly, especially with pain, inflammation, and range of motion. The injections are definitely the medicine of the future and I’m so grateful Dr. Dee is at the forefront of it! Because of Dr. Dee I am able to live a healthy, active lifestyle with no restrictions, which I didn’t think was even possible!

Dr Dee and his staff Kristy are amazing!!! Clean facility friendly service. Dr Dee assessed me and gave me an injection in the right spot I’ve been pain free for two weeks and my ROM in my shoulder is WNL’s now!! Hopefully ready to return to sports when he gives me the go ahead. I would highly recommend visiting this facility for sports related issues..

Absolutely Fantastic Surgeon and Wonderful Staff and Practice!! Dr. Dee really cares about people and he goes well above and beyond to Really Fix People! More of medicine should be this way. Go — they will take care of you like family.
