Corona-Temecula Orthopedic Associates

The doctors might be good, but the office is notoriously famous for over scheduling. Even with an 8:30 am appt, there are always 2 appointments ahead of me with the Doctor (Lin and Rhoghani) seeming to arrive AT 8:30. My time is valuable and I make as much as these SOBs, so it’s very annoying to always be made to wait. With a PPO plan I can go where I want so this may be my last visit here.

I recently was referred to corona temecula orthopedic surgeons, due to an accident I was in. It was the worst experience of my lifetime. Doctor did not introduce himself, used foul language and was more worried about his phone. Bed side manner was that of a used bedpan, don’t waste your time or money. I dont even give them a star for service,

I broke my clavicle and was fortunate enough to have Dr Rouhe as my surgeon. He has been very kind, attentive and at times has even made me laugh, though this is one painful surgery. I have to agree with some of the other posts in terms of staff. Although almost all have been very nice, scheduling desk was a nightmare. They have their protocol I guess and there is no deviation. I was told at my initial consultation that scheduling would be calling for a date that afternoon or next AM. as they were very busy and this needed to be scheduled. When they didn’t call, I called them. They told me they wouldn’t even consider scheduling until they had blood work, Primary physicians ok for surgery etc on their desk. I said I have all that scheduled and you will have it next day. Didn’t matter. Absolutely not. Consequently, I didn’t have my surgery until 2 weeks after the break. Once again though, I am grateful to Dr Rouhe and the rest of his staff who have been very kind and attentive.

Let me start by saying that Surgery is not anything someone looks forward to. I needed to have both knees done. My insurance company would not cover many specialists. Then we found Dr Amy Starry who is truly AMAZING ! She completed my second knee today and I will say that the words Truly Impressed do not even begin to describe Dr Starry. Unfortunately 5 star reviews is the best you can give on Unilocal she deserves a 10+. I was not at all happy about surgery, I don’t like needles, and well you know how the rest goes. I would like to compliment This medical team for having a True TOP NOTCH Professional on their team who makes the patient her #1 priority. My father was a Doctor for 30+ years and he too took great pride in making his patients top priority. Over the years I have had some doctors where you are just a number, Not here, Not with Dr Starry, She is truly a Doctor who cares. For anyone facing a surgical procedure in this specific specialty I would look no further Dr Starry is
the BEST you will find.

Dr Reza Roghani did the surgery on my rotator. All I can say is awesome job. I had very little pain afterwards. I now have full range of motion without any pain. prior seeing Dr Roghani I figured the pain and lack of range of motion was just part of life.

Dr Reza Roghani saved my husband’s shoulder! It was ridiculously messed up, and he was in severe pain. Dr Roghani explained the procedure options with us in detail, and assured us that he would make my husband’s shoulder perfect again. We were really nervous because we had heard so many horror stories about shoulder surgeries. Dr Roghani was the most confident and reassuring doctor we both had ever met. My husband’s shoulder was so perfect after the surgery (Mumford Procedure and complete rotator cuff reattachment) that he stopped taking pain medication two days after the procedure which is unheard of. This surgery changed my husband’s life. Thank you so much Dr Roghani!

I am surprised by the negative reviews! The longest I have ever had to wait was 20 minutes. My doctor is Amy Starry and she is fantastic. All the staff are both friendly and knowledgeable — something most offices aren’t able achieve. I have been to both offices — Corona and Murrieta — and have no complaints for either. The best thing about Corona Temecula Orthopedics is I have never felt like a number. Fantastic!!!

Contrary to the negative reviews here, I’ve had nothing but positive things to say about my visits here. My Ortho surgeon is Dr. Richard Rouhe and he is just awesome. I love the online portal where everything regarding my condition/​complaint is filed. Setting an appointment is a breeze, never had a problem with that. The longest wait I had was 10 minutes. I get reminders for my appointment both through email and phone. Front office staff is courteous and professional. Love the ambience and interiors in the waiting room!

My 13 yr old son suffered a FOOSH injury after he flipped over the handlebars of his scooter. His primary doctor gave him a preliminary diagnosis of a snuffbox injury (aka scaphoid bone) sent us off for x-​rays and put him in a splint. She put in an emergency referral for ortho at this practice because she saw at minimum he’d need to be casted.
After getting the runaround from the horribly incompetent office staff over a 2 ½ day period, I spent several hours on calls to the office where I was sent from person to person and each one gave me different (and wrong) information. The whole debacle culminated in them telling me their first available appointment was 7 weeks out. For a fracture. Of a child’s wrist!
We finally threw in the towel and took my son to Camp Pendleton’s ER where he was promptly seen, diagnosed, and referred to ortho the very next morning. Turns out not only was his scaphoid broken but he also has a Salter-​Harris fracture at the growth plate. Because of the poor blood supply to this area, it can quickly go necrotic and/​or create a lifetime of arthritis and osteoarthritis symptoms and pain if not properly treated. The fact that this office has idiots working its phones when patients referred here clearly have emergent issues completely befuddles me.
We are now 6 weeks in to my son’s treatment. He’s on cast #2, will see a military orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to discuss his upcoming surgery and has at least a 4 month physical therapy program ahead of him with a certified hand specialist following. Had I listened to the office staff here, he’d either still be suffering in pain waiting for his appointment or worse yet, could have lost a finger or two. While the doctors themselves at this practice may be saints, the office staff preventing patients from actually seeing a doctor when needed is ridiculous.

My doctor here is Dr. Reza Roghani and I’ve received nothing but great service. I do not understand all of the review regarding wait times as there have been times that I’ve gone in and was the only one in the waiting room. Other times there were maybe 5 people at most waiting with about 25 empty chairs.
Dr. Roghani operated on my shoulder and biceps tendon on August 19^th and the speed of my recovery has been very fast. I personally feel that he did a very good job and would recommend him to anyone as he is board certified and performs many, many operations per year.
I will be doing physical therapy here starting in a few weeks and I can’t wait to continue the relationship with this organization that has continued to provide me with the best care possible.

First off would like to say if it weren’t for the amazing history I’ve had with the doctors here I would NOT go here. Perfect example of an office with TOO MANY PATIENTS. this whole company merge to Corona Orthopedic has been horrible for these people. 30 min. call wait times EVERY time you call. When u finally get on the phone with a receptionist they are anything but peachy. Absolutely rude. All of them. AND there benefits are messed up only to benefit THEM. my Gold PPO has a $ 50 copay each visit??? Oh and soonest appointments are over a month away! AND my X-​ray/​MRI have minimal coverage with this caddie call of a doctors office. TIP: DONT GO HERE. For them: STOP TAKING NEW PATIENTS/​answer your damn phone!!!

Don’t go here. First, I cannot book an appointment for at least one month. Second, the doctor lied to me. He told me I could get a hip injection within one month and that it would take 1 ½ weeks for the approval. It turns out that I had to chase Megan, his assistant after two weeks had gone by, the office never contacted me, only to find out it would take an additional month before I could get the shot. In the meantime, my leg began to hurt again and there was no one available to reinject my leg. This office is interested in treating massive amounts of patients with little to no quality patient time. I call it fast food medicine. I can’t confess to determining how good the doctor is, I have only seen him twice. If I can’t get in to be treated, the practice is useless to me. I will be switching doctors after writing this review so I can find a doctor who is willing to invest some time with me and one that won’t lie to me.

I feel that if you are willing to complain, you need to praise good service as well.
I was honestly not looking forward to our visit to Corona Temecula Orthopedics due to all the negative Unilocal reviews.
I don’t know what others experienced– all I know is when we took our son to the Corona location a few days ago, the staff was courteous and helpful. In and out with a simple broken finger, but I would rate our visit a 5 out of 5 for sure. The facility was clean, the Dr. was professional and did well with a terrified kid with his first broken bone. We didn’t experience anything remotely negative throughout our visit.
I just wish their Murrieta location had more openings so we didn’t have to drive all the way out to Corona.
If it needs to be said; I am not a bot, a friend, employee, relative, or in anyway compensated for my review. I’m just a dad who’s trying to do what’s best for his kid. That’s all.

Temecula office is really bad even if you live hear, try to go to the Corona office. They actually owe me a copay (that I never got back.) I waited hours with three kids and got sent home. This was one of many stories that I don’t want to relive by sharing, wish there were more options!

My daughter fractured her ankle and had surgery with Dr. Roehe. He is a good surgeon but not very welcoming with questions. The P.A. Carl was helpful and the back office staff was good as well. The front office staff are robotic, not friendly at all and make you feel like you’re putting them out for being there. The wait times were minimal however. Overall the care has been good.

The appointment desk at this facility could be better staffed by monkeys. I explicitly made an appointment for their Murrieta office. They even gave me directions on how to get there. When I got to Murrieta for my appointment, they told me that it was scheduled for the Corona office. I just hope the doctors are not equally incompetent as their staff.

My first time here and I had no problem checking in, and only minimal wait time. The back office nurse was very nice and thorough, probably more thorough than the doctor. I went in for a 2^nd opinion about my shoulder, and although they did X-​rays, the doctor never even touched my arm! No real range of motion check, didn’t ask about pain levels. Just based treatment options off of the X-​rays, which I guess is ok to an extent. Doctor Locke was nice enough, office was very very clean and well organized, not much to complain about, I just have mixed feelings about them and am not sure if I will continue with them or not… give them a try and base your opinion off of your own experience.

This business is HORRIBLE!!! Do not use them! I made an appt to have an injection, which I confirmed they had on hand, and they said they could do an injection. But when I arrived, after paying the office visit up front of $ 116.00 once i was in a room the Dr cam in and laughed when I told him what I wanted, he said they didn’t have any cortisone! I asked when I could come back and get it and he said he didn’t know. I left and asked for my money back but the administration said NO. This administration is so unprofessional I will never go back there! I can not stress to anyone… run the other way if you are referred to this group! THEY TOTALLY SUCK!!!

Physicians are great
Staff, scheduling, and general service are completlely pathetic. You would think you were at the free clinic with the line out the door, 2 – 3 hr wait times, mass confusion, and over booking…

I can only confirm what others are saying. The Doctors themselves may be good doctors, but the administration side is pathetic. My experience has been after the Temecula Doctors (Reiman in my case) have joined CTOA. Very long hold times when I call. Very difficult to get someone to call me back. In the case of my daughter, the Doctor’s nurce (Hilary) actually never returned some calls, or called back days later. And this was in post-​op. With me, Dr Reiman prescribed a treatment plan involving a knee brace and a series of 3 injections. (I have advanced arthritis) My insurance needs further information (radiological reports) and I’ve had to track it down and get it done myself with no help from CTOA. Probably because CTOA has already made their $$ off me and helping me with the paperwork doesn’t make them more $$. I found out that insurance never received a request for the series of injections. This after I confirmed during my appointment that they would be seeking authorization for the brace and the injections. When I called CTOA to ask about the injections, nobody seems to be able to help me. The nurse and Doctor are in a different location. They tell me they will check into it, but nobody calls me back.
Save yourself the frustration and find another provider.
