Dr. Neilesh Shailesh Ghodadra, MD

Impossible to communicate with. Told us neither he nor his surgery center would not accept our insurance payment for surgery. But they billed my insurance and kept the money from that as well as our $11,000 cash payment. No one returns my calls and there is no contact information anywhere for his finance department.

Great consultation and then he disappeared. No returned calls/emails from his office. Weird.

I met with Dr. Ghodadra who recommended surgery for my arm. I have full insurance plus medicare as secondary insurance only. Dr. Ghodadra would not treat me because his assistant states that his practice does not want the extra scrutiny that medicare patients would provide even though they would be fully compensated by my primary insurance. This doctor clearly does not care about patients health only his own pocket book and sub-standard ethics.

Yes, Dr. G occasionally runs late- they all do. But its so worth the wait! He takes meticulous time and interest. He listens. Then he does awesome work. I've had 2 knee scopes & other work, all excellent results. My husband has also had great result. The surg staff and team Love him and they'll tell you so. HIghly recommend.

Remember Dr. Welby, the fictional TV doctor who listened to his patients with compassion and patience and who took exquisite care of them because he was smart, ethical and a born healer? Well, Dr. Ghodadra is a thousand times better. He is the smartest, kindest, nicest physician you could ever ask for. And, he's a great MD.

best orthopedic surgeon ever...

I unfortunately was hit in a crosswalk and sustained injuries. One that needed repair within months after the accident. I had an unfortunate outcome from this surgery performed by another orthopedist. When I couldn't walk two months after the procedure, all I got from that surgeon was "Well, someday you will again walk without a cane . I just can't tell you when". That was it. No other offers of help or solutions. I never wanted to go back. My physical therapist introduced me to Dr. Ghodadra and Snibbe Orthopedics. She and her colleagues saw the care and superior outcomes of all the patients they received from this orthopedic group and said "this is who I would go to if I needed orthopedic help." Dr. Ghodadra's office got me right into see him for this complication of surgery and another problem, an injury to my biceps. I was lacking hope but, from the minute he listened to me, examined me and looked at my records...he offered me that. Hope. He was not "scissor happy" and… tried everything he could to reverse the problems before surgical intervention. He still is. He never gives up. He listens and hears his patients, while giving them dignity and attention. His office staff is prompt, responsive and professional and I feel so taken care of that I am telling everyone. Oh, and did I mention I'm a registered nurse?

I am very impressed with the surgery Dr. Khodadra did on my son's shoulder and 2 years ago on his knee. He is in no pain since day one and is able to move his arm. Dr. Khodadra is the nicest, kindest and caring doctor we have ever met. His experties and academic accomplishments is very impressing. HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST.

I first met Dr. Ghodadra at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. After he left that office I was re-scheduled with other doctors. However, none of the doctors compared to Dr. Ghodadra. I tracked him down and followed him to his office in Beverly Hills, and after my shoulder arthroscopy surgery results I know I made the right decision to follow him. He is very patient, always tries to answer questions, printed pictures for me from my surgery. By far the best there is when it comes to orthopedic surgeons I would highly recommend Dr. Ghodadra.

After going to numerous doctors over the past couple years that told my husband who is only 44 years old and very athletic, that he would need a full shoulder replacement (which would only last 7 - 8 years), we found Dr. Ghodadra. He gave my husband options, no other doctor had ever mentioned and they were way less invasive with more pain free results. My husband had almost no motion in his shoulder & beyond serious constant pain for the past year. Dr. Ghodadra did a simple outpatient surgery and the next day, my husband had full motion range back. He's like new again, thanks to Dr. Ghodadra. Dr. Ghodadra is on the cutting edge of new surgical techniques and methods for joint issues. He thinks "Outside of the Box". Thank you for giving me my husband back. :)
