  • “I have been very pleased with the treatment I have received from SCOI, Dr. Schopler and Emily Fish, PA. I underwent a lumbar fusion and it has been a slow recovery. They have been with me every step of my recovery and I always have been treated with respect and they always clearly explain the treatment plan. I love how they bring up the actual X-ray pictures and show me what has been done and where we are at in the healing process. – Irene M.”

  • “Amazing! Bedside manners are very important to me. That shows your heart. Dr. Schopler was so understanding. I have recommended several people there since then and to the Southern California Orthopedic Institute for other things.”

  • “I have seen 3 different doctors at SCOI – Dr. Schopler, Dr. Hamilton, & Dr. Erfanian. My experience with each of the doctors was wonderful. All my questions and concerns were answered. I had no reservations going into surgery with each of the doctors. They made my post surgery recovery as comfortable as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend any of these doctors for family and friends.”

  • “I needed emergency surgery as a result of two ruptured discs in my neck. The medical options were disc fusion or disc replacement. With only a day to investigate my options I requested replacements. Unfortunately, fusion had already been approved by my insurance and I needed to get into surgery asap. I filed an appeal but before I got my answer, I was 4 plus hours under the knife. The following morning Dr. Schopler told me I had the largest impingement he had seen in his many years. It was so big he took a picture of it with his phone. He indicated the discs came out beautifully and there was no significant damage or bruising to my spinal cord. He then said I stopped the surgery and told my staff we have an issue here. Our patient is a perfect candidate for disc replacements but his insurance has yet to approve them. He looked at me that morning and said, I told them we were going to do what's in the best interest of our patient and I put in the disc replacements.  I can not express my appreciation and gratitude for the decision he made. Nothing is more personally meaningful and words just fall short. That is character, that is gumption, that is the highest level of care and professionalism. To be taken care of in a manner that is in my best interest when I was so helpless to take care of myself, I am forever in his debt.  I am a Probation Supervisor. I have worked for the Department for 20 years and the last 15 years I have been a lead instructor teaching officers self-defense, arrest and control, cell extraction, and gun retention. Disc replacements have given me back my range of motion, allowed me to return to teaching without the excessive wear a fusion would have on the disc above and below the fusion, and brought me as close to 100% as is possible. Thank you, Dr. Schopler!  I tell my story to all I know and to a person each says, now that's the kind of doctor I want.”

  • “After dealing with many issues that arose after a l5/S1 disc herniation I was referred to SCOI and Dr. Schopler. From the initial visit to the post op visits, I have never had such an amazing experience. Dr.Schopler and the entire staff  treated myself and my wife with a genuine passion that is rarely seen today. The engagement after surgery from the staff made us feel as if my well-being was important to them. Myself and my family thank you for your outstanding commitment to my recovery. – Don M. ”
