Dr. Andrew Maxwell Hanflik, MD

I like Dr. Hanflik's friendly, but direct approach. No nonsense or wasting time. He knows what my knee problem is all about and took care of the pain. No need for over the counter pain meds as I don't like to take them. The treatment he gave me has resolved the problem. I'm happy!

Dr. Hanflik is a wonderful doctor. He performed a complicated shoulder surgery on me. He explained everything very clearly, and listened to my concerns. He was very responsive to me. Recommend!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT SEE Los Alamitos Orthopaedic Medical and Surgical Group. They initially told me, after taking my insurance information, that they were “in network” with my insurance, so I took their word for it. (It is simply not possible to independently verify this assertion with my insurance every time I see a new doctor.) Upon my first visit they asked for a payment of $105 “just in case” they were not covered by my insurance, which policy they said they have for every new patient, a highly unusual and, in my opinion, unethical move. Then, after my second visit, they informed me that, in fact, they were not in my insurance’s network, and billed me $196. I disputed this, informing me that they first told me they were “in network,” and that this “change” of mind was not my fault, but theirs; however, they refused to recognize my complaint. After several back-and-forths, they sent me to collection. I am currently disputing with collection, but they have caused me undue… stress and have wasted my time. Bottom line is, they are unethical and unprincipled, and unless you want to be pursued and harassed, and billed for money that is not rightfully due them, do your best to avoid seeing this doctor’s office. There are many other better orthopaedic clinics out there.
