From the doctor to staff a high degree of professionalism

I spent considerable time searching for a non-surgical doctor for treatment. I looked at the doctor's credentials as well as his reviews. I am so satisfied that I made the right choice. The doctor is excellent. Even before meeting the doctor, his staff, the physician assistants, were courteous and informative. Dr. Blecher answered all my questions, gave me options and went over my x rays with me. He is knowledgeable as well as having excellent communication skills. His staff helped navigate my insurance approval. I was never kept waiting after my appointment time. Staff also knew the nature of my treatment plan and set up all necessary appointments at one time. His staff followed up to ensure I was okay post treatment. I really liked the Valencia office: clean, bright and it has FREE parking. Dr. Blecher and his staff deserve a 5 star review. I am obviously glad I found this doctor and recommend his medical expertise.

Friendly, professional and modern

Dr. Blecher is a young, progressive and modern physician. Vastly knowledgeable of cutting edge procedures and skilled in using them. I have been truly impressed with Dr. Blecher's expertise and his recommendation of using Euflexxa injections in my arthritic hip. It has made a tremendous difference in my mobility and pain management.

My experience with Dr. Blechet was excellen

Accustomed to being quite active I was slowed down and in pain when I arrived at SCOI. I previously had X-rays taken which showed considerable arthritis in both knees. I worried that the only remedy for my painful arthritic left knee was surgery. Dr Blecher extracted a significant amount of fluid from my very swollen knee and then injected the first of three hyaluronic doses. It is more than a month since my last injection and I can say that my overall improvement is in the area of 80%. As further advised by Dr. Blecher I will continue to do my part incorporating more strengthening exercises into my regimen and avoiding pounding on the treadmill. I am hopeful that recovery will continue but I am prepared to repeat the procedure if necessary. It was relatively painless in comparison to the constant nagging pain that I was experiencing. Dr. Blecher’s assistants were as friendly and reassuring as he was and my experience at the office was excellent. Thank you!

His assistant Zack Gonzales was excellent!!

Dr Blecher was fine. Quite professional. But his assistant Zach Gonzales went above and beyond helping me. He adjusted my crutches, put me on a wheelchair to get to the casting room, he was just a VERY caring person !!!

Excellent service

Dr. Bletcher took time to explain what has been happening to me for the past several years. Gave me great advice for the future and was able to quickly relieve pressure which has been plaguing me for a very long time, as well as make arrangements for future follow-up.
