Steven Sampson, D.O.

I saw these reviews and was stunned. I’ve been going to the Ortho Healing Center for the last year. Dr Sampson and all the staff are extraordinary.
Every single staff member in the office, and at the surgical center, go above and beyond to help, and move mountains to make sure you’re happy, and well taken care of.
I’ve called in countless times with a semi-​urgent matter, requesting to be seen, and Dr Sampson always makes time. Always. They treat their patients like family.
Dr Sampson really listens, takes his time, and carefully analyzes the situation. When you think surgery is the only answer, he dissuades you, and always has at least three alternative options on offer. It’s a great feeling when you think «it’s over,» and believe all options have been exhausted, for your doctor to step in and give you multiple alternatives instead of surgery.
I just called the office this morning, and they said they didn’t have any appointments until next week. When I explained the situation (which wasn’t even terribly urgent), Dr Sampson (who was at the surgery center operating) called… within five minutes, and said he’d see me within an hour. We should all be so lucky to have the gift of a doctor like Dr. Sampson, and the wonderful people he surrounds himself with.

The level of service at the clinic of Dr. Sampson has been declining. Sometimes, he does not personally see patients who are referred to him. Instead, patients are often transferred to other clinic physicians, who have much less knowledge and/​or experience. Dr. Sampson was previously an in-​network provider for health plans of the motion picture industry. Because he chose to end this insurance status, treatment costs for patients will greatly rise. It appears that the priorities of Dr. Sampson and his clinic have changed for the worse.

DO NOT GO THO THIS OFFICE!!! I went in for a problem and got a cortisone shot and was told to take meds and call back if i need an mri… it has been three days and i have left messages for dr to call and still no return phone call. I have not gotten any attention or answers to questions regarding my injury… how is it that a dr is given a message that you are in pain and chooses NOT to return a phone call to a patient?

After seeing multiple ortho specialists, who were unable to diagnose my problem and consequently unable to help me, I found Dr Sampson’s Orthohealing Center through Unilocal.
Dr Sampson’s approach was compete different from all others, whom I had seen before. He is a thinking physician, who collects the diagnostic data first (btw, while I was going through the tests, he gave me a pain relieving cream, which helped a lot!),
then carefully analyzes it and then prescribes treatment– makes sense, ah?
Unfortunately, not to the majority of healthcare providers, who most of the time fail to help until it is too late and surgery is indicated.
I have all the trust in Dr Sampson and feel very comfortable with his treatment recommendations.
The facility is very modern and clean and the staff is caring and very efficient– thanks to everybody at Orthohealing Center!

i am very disappointed with dr sampson because after several very very painful injections which cost several thousand dollars (not covered by insurance), i am not much improved.
he is very expensive and it seems money matters a lot more to him and to his office manager than the patients.

As we all know, getting older comes with aches and pains. The trouble is when you go to a orthopedist-​surgeon all they want to do is cut. A neighbor suggested Dr. Sampson and I went to see him. Unbelievable… he is kind, caring and spends time listening. He has new ideas and approaches and was very effective in his treatment. My shoulder feels better, the tennis elbow is improving and I’m back on the bike. For a young guy, Doc Sampson has some has wonderful old school medicine ways. But with new ideas.

Okay, I have some major back problems and I occasionally need to see a doctor when things get nasty every now and then. A friend of a friend of a friend recommended Dr. Sampson. He was local, I was hurting, so I went.
Surprisingly, Sampson was one of the few Orthos that is actually really nice and makes you feel as if he actually doesn’t have 100’s of patients per day (though he probably does). He’s also one of the few Orthos in my experience that doesn’t just prescribe you some drugs, sends you for an MRI and calls it a day. He actually cares, or acts like he does, and either way is fine with me. Refreshing. He actually pulled out some needles and did some acupuncture on the spot. And it helped. A lot.
If you need a cutting-​edge Ortho, one who might actually care,
Dr. Sampson is the one.
