Raissi Abdi, MD

I chose Dr. Raissi, not knowing anything about him other than he was an ankle specialist. I had only had eye surgery 30 years ago, so I was nervous about having surgery on my torn tendon. My fear was that I might have trouble walking or dancing. Dr. Raissi instilled confidence in me that having surgery was the only decision to make. He was patient and explained everything thoroughly. I am so very pleased as I never had any pain throughout my entire procedure. Also his male nurse, LJ, was wonderful. He has a great sense of humor and did a terrific casting job both times. The entire facility was run efficiently and I never waited long for my appointments, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Raissi!

I have been to Dr Raissi to fix both of my ankles now. He fixed my «loose» ligament damage in my left ankle back in 2008. I have had no issues since. The surgery went better than expected and his and his staff were excellent!
Fast forward to 2014. I know live in SoCal and broke my right ankle. I had seen an orthopedic down here who was useless! After spending 10 weeks in a boot, there was nothing else they could do besides surgery. I immediately called and asked for Dr Raissi. Very excited to hear that his whole team from 2008 was still with him. I drove in from SoCal and met with him. Turns out, the break was worse than originally thought and thanks to Dr Raissi, I am back up and around. I would trust no one but Dr Raissi for any ankle injuries I will ever have. (It was even worth me leaving the beach for awhile)
Both Dr Raissi and his team, (Alayah and LJ) are awesome! Even when you are in pain, they take the time to explain what is happening and actually listen to you when you speak. I recommend them to everyone I know!

Dr. Raissi was magnificent beginning to end. He was extremely honest and forthcoming with any information I needed. I am a professional ballerina and my body is my machine so I was very careful about which doctor to chose. Right away Dr. Raissi made me feel at ease, confident and realistic about my surgery. I can’t imagine feeling more comfortable. When the day of my surgery finally arrived, I knew I was in great hands. Post-​op was no different. His nurses are very personable like him and answered all the questions that I had. My recovery has been wonderful thanks to Dr. Raissi’s skills and the skills of his nurses. I am almost back to 100% and for myself as a dancer that means the world. Thank you Dr. Raissi and your entire team. If I need anything else, I know where to turn.

horrible. did bunionectomy and hammertoe surgery and botched them both. when confronted, he said, «what do you want me to do?». when I said «I’d like you to fix it», he said, I can’t do that for free.
have to do it again. this time not taking ay chances and doing it at hospital for special surgery in nyc.
awful. don’t make the mistake I did.

He is a very knowledgable and thorough. He takes his time and explains the situation to you. Staff is friendly and complete. You can trust this man with your joints!

I saw Dr. Raissi for Plantar Fasciitis and Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. He was VERY knowledgeable but somewhat aloof and disinterested. He knew from talking to me and looking at the x-​rays exactly what was wrong and gave me the option to try physical therapy or go straight for surgery. I appreciated that he did not want to operate right away (as many surgeons do). While he was distant and cold in the appointments, he was great on the day of surgery and very comforting. His office staff is amazing and always available by phone. Anytime I had questions, he and his staff would offer to have me come in right away. Overall, great experience with Dr. Raissi

I have used Dr Raissi for the repair of a torn achilles tendon. His bedside manor has been superb and very polite. When I dirt went in he said right away what I had suspected. I had torn my other one 2 years earlier so I knew what had happened. He scheduled the surgery right away and I am already on the road to recovery. What a great doc.

I injured my ankle on May 15 2009, I was told that it was a sprain. But after three months I STILL could not walk properly. Because it was a work injury, I had to see Concentra who instead of referring me to physical therapy– assigned me to a Pain Management specialisthree months later. He referred me to go see Dr. Raissi.
I was so excited, thinking «FiNALLY» someone will help me with my ankle.
I got to the office and they took more x-​rays. I waited approximately 2 hours in the office. I was getting frustrated but when his nurse came he was awesome, he looked at the x-​ray and said «Wow– no wonder you are having pain you broke the tip of your tibia off.
YIKES! I thought but I also thought «YES! I am not crazy no wonder I still can’t walk without crutches or a cane»
He left the room and the doctor came in. He NEVER looked at the X-​Ray — but came in reading the report from Concentra that said that I had an ankle sprain.
He immediately said — «It is a sprain there is NOTHING I can do for you»
My boyfriend and I both just looked at him in shock … like «are you serious???»
He got indignant when I looked shock and said «Do you not think it is a sprain?»
I said «NO I do NOT think it is a sprain»
He reasoned that sprains take time to heal and yada yada yada.
Me I had a jackhammer going off in my brain because I couldn’t listen any more. Now I am thinking what a jerk! He didn’t even bother talking to me or looking at the films of my foot.
We started walking out since he … dismissed us.
and the nurse said «Hey guys will we be seeing you next week?»
I said «NO» and he did a double take… «What?!»
I looked and told him «He says it isn’t broken»
He looked at me again and shook his head. yeah he knew he was an a$$hat too.
I would have given them a half star but the nurse was like 10 stars by himself.
the doctor isn’t even worth a star.
Take your health into your own hands and Don’t see this guy!!!
