The Orthopedic Clinic Association

TOCA itself is not a bad place at all, it's the physicians who are terrible.



I was a patient there for my lower back, neck and shoulder-blade pain. (The pain was all over, really) I saw Dr. Vivek Mehta and Dr. Christopher Huston. Both were totally incompetent and uncaring.



After several X-RAYS, failed diagnostic test injections, and medications neither doctor could offer a reasonable explanation or diagnosis.



I was told sometimes spinal vertebra just get inflamed and pain results. That diagnoses was absolute crap. I'm only 18 years old. Pain doesn't just come from no where and have no explanation. There is always a cause no matter if you're 18 or 80! Pain is not normal, it's a warning sign that must be addressed.



After, I went to a Chiropractor who did a full spinal X-RAY and discovered I had a pretty bad case of scoliosis cause by a pelvic tilt. This was responsible for all of my pain!



My question is how in the world do two orthopedic physicians not detect scoliosis after taking X-RAYS of their own?



These physicians at TOCA are terrible. I hope you take my story as advice and do not see them. The time i wasted with them only caused my scoliosis, pain and damage to my spine to get worse.

I fell while walking, went to Urgent Care. It took them a day to tell me I had fractured some bones in my hand. I called TOCA and received a same day appointment. When I got there, they xrayed my hand and changed the doctor to whom they had assigned me, to a hand specialist, Dr. Purdy. She was terrific! My hand was operated on 2 days later and checked weekly. After the pins and casts came off, they provided physical therapy for my hand. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.
