Afshin Aminian's Online Review Report Card

I have been a long time scoliosis patient of Dr. Aminian and throughout the whole process, he has always been so energetic and positive and answered any and all questions my family had about the condition/surgery. He is a very, very knowledgable and skilled doctor and surgeon and it is evident. I am now 2 weeks post-op from my spinal fusion and I am recovering amazingly, major thanks to him! I highly recommend him as he is truly the best in the field!

Dr. Afshin Aminiam is hands-down one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure to meet, and with 3 active teens I have been to a LOT of doctors over the years. Dr. Aminian is not your typical doctor. He made us feel like we were the only patients he had all day. He took his time explaining what was going on, showed us pictures and examples, and made sure we understood what he was talking about (without being condescending or talking down to us – it was almost like he was a neighbor we had known a long time – I’m not sure how to explain it). He had a calming presence and made my daughter feel comfortable discussing her situation when she normally hates speaking with doctors. What’s more, I trust him. He was the fourth specialist we saw and we are finally confident in the diagnosis. He is amazing. I wish more doctors were like him! We went to his Irvine office and waited less than 5 minutes to see him, which is not always the case at POSOC. Even if we had to wait, I would do it because he is worth the wait!

I had a very bad experience with Dr. Arash Aminian when I saw him for my QME. He had not read any of my prior medical records provided to him by my WC case manager weeks in advance and did not even bother to ask me any relevant questions to my injury and take detailed history. He spent very short time with me and did a very limited exam with a clear predetermined mindset. His written QME report was full of inaccurate information, some falsely attributed to me with total disregard for my symptoms and level of pain despite his objective findings, making medicolegal conclusion and recommendations which was completely inconsistent with his own documentations and findings and contrary to the reports by many other physicians and another orthopedist whom I had seen in previous months thru WC referrals and for the same condition and injury. A complete disappointment to say the least and unethical physician.

Dr Aminian is great and knowledgeable and very friendly and explains everything very clearly. I find their staff at Mission Viejo especially her assistant lisa very awful their clear disregard for patient cause my daughter to have surgery instead of having a PT done. There is some failing on our part that we did not follow up enough but you don't have to get referral three times before they do it right.

Dr. Aminian is professional, knowledgeable and amazing. I took my son to Newport Orthopedic Institute for his broken wrist and a doctor there suggested a surgery. Then with a friend's recommendation, we went to see Dr. Aminian for a second opinion, and amazingly he fixed his wrist without surgery! My family and I can't thank him enough! I highly recommend Dr. Aminian.

Dr. Aminian is awesome in everyway!

One of the best doctors I have been to in my life. Very caring, explains everything, sympathetic and very kind.

Dr. Aminian is the best!

Dr. Aminian, I believe, is an absolutely wonderful doctor. He is an extremely great communicator that made me, the patient, feel comfortable and educated on my condition.

Excellent orthopedic surgeon with wonderful bedside manner. Incredibly fortunate to have him care for our beloved son and correct his severe scoliosis.
