Golden State Orthopedics & Spine

"My husband had an appointment with Dr Kanel after experiencing tremendous pain in his shoulder and neck - tingling down his arm and numbness setting in his fingers. Dr was in with him for maybe 5 minutes, didn’t even lay a hand on him to feel around for where exactly the pain was originating from, did an x-ray( which he had already had at urgent care and it showed nothing out of the ordinary) . My assumption was he had a pinched nerve and/or disc problem which a x-rate will not show. I asked Dr if perhaps he had a pinched nerve and his words exactly were” absolutely not”. He did not order a MRI . Now my husband had been in extreme debilitating pain for over a week at that time with no relief which we communicated with the Dr. He said go to PT , nothing else. At that point my husband and I felt helpless and entirely dismissed and defeated. Entire appointment was no more than 5 minutes and off we went , appointment was over. Terrible bedside manner as well, he acted rushed and could have cared less. Next day I was able to get my husband in with my primary doctor who was very concerned with the amount of pain my husband had been in for over a week with no relief and the diminished strength in his arm and tingling. She ordered a MRI stat. MRI showed a pinched nerve and herniated disc in his C6-7. Thanks for nothing Dr Kanel. Would absolutely not recommend Dr Kanel at all! Avoid at all costs. So so disappointed in this office"

"I am at Golden State Orthopedic and spine go a second time. The first time I had a hip replacement done by Dr. Sagoo. The experience was wonderful, so when I needed a second orthopedic doctor I came back . Dr. Cohen answered my questions and made me feel like my surgery will go fine. I am ready to have the surgery and am I know that I am in good hands. The surgery this time is on my shoulder."

"Been seeing Dr Blue for about 3 years. He has been great. Together we go over blood work with detailed explanations for each profile. He is a great internist and even better with sports injuries as an Orthopedic specialist. I would highly recommend Dr. Blue as your possible physician!"

"I was referred to doctor Blue by a friend of mine who also goes to his practice and when I first met doctor Blue. I was a medical nightmare and I credit him with saving my life. I appreciate his attentiveness to care giving has a great bedside manner. Overall, I would recommend him. To anybody. Also, his staff are very friendly and helpful."

"I’ve been seen by Dr Jeffrey Blue many times. Friendly doctor and office. However they like to only deal with routine and straightforward cases. When it is unknown or problematic or more complex they send you elsewhere or don’t persevere to find solutions. Happy with routine treatments received. Very disappointed with more challenging issues. It’s just about money for them!! Looking for a doctor that really cares and tries to help in bay area. Looking for new doctor!!"
