Suketu Vaishnav, MD – Cedars-Sinai

I was looking for a pleasant experience based on all the reviews. I took my mom. He did not want to make an eye contact or seemed bothered when I asked questions. It seemed like he did not want to see us and was simply doing this to check off the list. Did not even spend 2 minutes. His answer was I a shoulder guy you need to see my partner. Then why did the front office schedule? I am sure he could have been little more consultative. What a terrible experience. Even the referrals were incomplete. Should show some respect/​compassion to the patient and family members!

I am one of those that work in the business of caring for people, as a Registered Nurse. But when it comes to me being on the receiving end of that care, I am the biggest coward. 2 years ago I underwent a rotator cuff tear repair. I was VERY anxious about the whole procedure. I was referred to Dr. Vaishnav for surgery. From the moment I entered that office, I felt a sense of peace; everyone was caring and nice. When I finally met Dr. Vaishnav, it DIDN’T take much for me to agree with proceeding with surgery. I knew I was going to be in good hands! … The best Surgeon ever! … I wish he was a Master Surgeon that did ALL surgeries. I would go to him any day. Excellent bedside manner, VERY reassuring, while at the same time he is VERY realistic. NEVER promised me a 100% recovery; but I function so much better today than I did before the surgery. I am NOT 100% recovered; but I am VERY close to it! … As a Registered Nurse that knows what to expect from a Surgeon, I would recommend Dr. Vaishnav to any of my friends as well as Family.
Dr. Vaishnav, you are the best. One of these days I will personally come to show you what I am now able to do, that I COULDN’T the last time I was at your office, a year ago! … I am most grateful for the excellent care you gave me; and I must say you have an excellent Staff as well. Everyone was good to me each time I came for office visits!

You can believe all these reviews! Had my surgery today. I may elaborate after recovery.
The doctor called me himself about five hours after the operation to see how I was doing.
The following day the hospital called to see how is doing. Everyone has been very professional and attentive.
So far so good!
7 months out and the surgery has worked out very well. I heard he is moving back to Los Angeles.

I had arthritis in my left shoulder. I had been avoiding fully using my left arm for many years. I have to admit that I was nervous when I saw my x-​rays. They were scary. I was referred to Dr. Vaishnav and had a shoulder replacement in December.
I am so grateful for the doctors who referred me to him. I cannot imagine having had a better surgeon.
This was, for me, a hard operation and a painful recuperation. Dr. Vaishnav was so capable and so attentive to what I might need. His office (which is staffed by very friendly people) always got back to me if I needed to ask something.
I believe that Mario, the doctor’s very helpful and efficient assistant said that Dr. Vaishnav had been the doctor in charge of our last Olympic team.
I just saw Dr. V yesterday. He told me that I was functioning to a degree which was ahead of where I should be 4 months after surgery. My shoulder is moving around in places it has not in decades. I think this has been possible as I had had Dr. V as a surgeon and good physical therapists.

Saw Dr. V in April 2014 due to a torn labrum and a chipped glenoid fossa. My case was pretty damn bad. I was borderline getting open shoulder surgery. Dr. V was able to get in there orthoscopicly and repair my shoulder right up.
It was very hard during the first week or so. But I mean it’s surgery.
It’s 6 months now and I’m able to do pretty much everything I used to do before my injury.
Example: bench press, overhead press, burpees, and everything in between. I’m a pretty athletic person and dr. V was able to get my back to my old life style. Looking forward to riding motocross again thanks to Dr Vaishnav!

Dr. Vaishnav and his assistant, Mario, have been wonderfully helpful. I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder from birth and have seen more hospitals in my lifetime than you can imagine. When I was first seen by Dr. Vaishnav, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and he was a great listener. Now that I’ve been in his care for over a year and just underwent total knee reconstruction, I know that these initial impressions are not just surface level. He really cares about your issue, he listens, he is great about seeking advice from his fellow doctors, and he’s completely upfront and honest. He sticks with you all the way through recovery. His manner is impeccable. I could not say more about this man. He has saved me from a life of pain management for my knee and has worked with me and my physical therapist the whole way through. You will be delightfully surprised that he encapsulates both a doctor and a support system. His staff are always willing to help. I can’t say enough about them! I would recommend him to anyone I know. I’m having him do my other knee at the end of the year and that speaks louder than any review.

I had a really rough year in 2013. I suffered from two injuries. Slap tear and my bicep tendon was torn 25% I was operated on in March and had and after 4 moths I was lifting again. I also broke my forearm (radius) In August which was operated on as well.
I got referred to Dr Vaishnav by a very close friend whom had shoulder surgery by him and only had great things to say. Being injured blows and sucks even more if your extremely active. Dr v and his staff are remarkable. He is extremely patient and very thorough. He such a nice guy and genually cares about getting you up and running again. The man works countless hours to insure ALL his patients are treated with extreme care.
I wish no injury upon anyone, unfortunatlly this is apart of life. If you suffer from a bone, shoulder knee injury look no further you are in the right hands.
Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!

My mom saw him this past Thursday when she broke her arm. Cedars Sinai emergency room referred us to him. He is really caring and kind, all his staff are extremely helpful and there for you. Mind you my mom was throwing up most of time because of all the medicine they had given her. Our insurance didn’t cover his visit, and his staff told us before we saw him. They really looked out for us and helped my mom start her recovery process. I definitely recommend him!

Dr. Vaishnav is an excellent Orthopedic Doctor. He addresses your concerns first, he makes sure you understand your condition. He explains your options and he also gives you a voice in your treatment. Dr V made me feel safe in his care. I truly recommend Dr V for anyone who needs an Orthopedic Doctor.

Dr. Vaishnav is truly a miracle worker! I just had him repair my knee from a torn meniscus & it feels great after only 3 weeks! I’d highly recommend him if anyone is in need of a qualified orthopedic doctor. He’s also got a wonderful sense of humor & bedside manner. Great doctor!!! His assistant, Mario, is an absolute pleasure to deal with, & makes sure the entire surgical process goes as smoothly as possible!
