Scott Lederhaus's Online Review Report Card

I met Dr. Lederhaus 28 years ago when I had several herniated disc in my lumbar area. I had been seeing an orthopedist for a number of months but getting nowhere with my pain. By the time I saw Dr. Lederhaus I was crawling on the floor to get around. He ran me through a myriad of mobility tests and got me into surgery within a week and a half. Two hours after surgery I was walking my self and taking my IV stand into the bathroom pain-free. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lederhaus.

Great doctor. Too bad he is retired. He treated me with respect and knowledge. We will miss him.

This Dr explained the procedure that he would do and did it. I had a herniated L-4 Disc in Oct. 1997 and was in bed for 3 days straight. My husband called my family Dr., (who knew I had been complaining of problems, but thought it was because I had a 4 month old baby). He told me to come to Pomona Valley Hospital for an MRI. Took 2 hours to get me in the car. I had a terrible back labor with the youngest child, my first 2 were C-sections, but I had no problems, since I had epidurals with both of them. When my family Dr. saw the MRI he told me "why didn't you tell me how much pain you were in"! My surgery was wonderfully done by Dr. Lederhaus, and I was up walking that same day, with no pain! I have been paid free for most of the time. I have had 3 times in the past 23 years, when I was pulling weeds for too long and had to go to my Dr for medication, but only til the inflamation went down.Thank you Dr. Lederhaus😘

very arrogant man will not recommend anybody

I am a cardiologist who worked and referred to Dr Leaderhaus over 35 years. He operated on my mother three times with great results. A rare asset for a surgeon is knowing when not to operate and Dr Leaderhaus’s integrity, skill, judgment, and knowledge could be counted on and did not falter all these years. There was no neurosurgeon I trusted more. He is an exemplary person who communicates well with patients and staff and even in retirement, he remains current. I hv reached out twice to him in the past year and a half and appreciate the enormity of his help. He is emblematic of all that our profession aspires to be.

Had him as my referral doctor for a neck injury. I was 15 min late and then waited in the waiting room for another 45 min. When I was called back all he did was berate me for being late.......uh.......ok. He did not do one thing as far as examine me or ask questions and then he walked out and that was that. Very angry man that day at least. Smh, what is wrong with people that think they can treat others so bad? He then went on to complain to my group about me being late. Never thought to tell them I myself waited for almost an hour in his waiting room. JERK is the only word I can think of to describe him that day.

Had back surgery 20 years ago and still have had no problems. My friend and his wife went to LA because they were highly rated, both had problems the husband had 2 follow up surgeries.

I was referred to Dr Lederhaus for a independent opinion on my back condition. I was very impressed with how he explained my conditions and went over some of my images in great detail. Dr Lederhaus also spent time going over my reports and history before he came in to see me. He did a full nerologist exam on me and although I no longer trust the medical community as much as I used to, Dr Lederhaus made me feel comfortable and I truly feel he was giving me his honest ethical opinion . I wish I would have seen Dr Leserhaus years ago for my back condition.

I saw Dr Lederhaus in the spring of 2008. He diagnosed me with a disarticulated lumbar vertebrae which was causing me debilitating pain in my back and legs. I also had a diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis among other things. I couldn't walk for more than 5 minutes; couldn't lie down to sleep...Other doctors had been telling me I was fine, they could see nothing wrong. Dr Lederhaus made an expedient and succinct diagnosis. He did my surgery. And I felt like I had been given a new life. Dr Lederhaus does not have the warmest bedside manner but he is a healer of the highest order. I can't say enough to thank him for how he changed my life.
