Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Surgeon
Was just a post op, but considering I had both elbows done in 3 months time, I'm doing great! Dr. Amini explained EVERYTHING without exception. He listens, answers every concern, and is a straight shooter as to possible issues. Great bedside manner and very comfortable when entering surgery.

Left Shoulder
Like always, CORE staff was very professional and pleasant. Dr. Amini was very attentive, looked me in the eye when addressing me. Explained in detail what my x-rays were telling him and had the staff schedule an MRI to verify his diagnosis.

Very straightforward
Thus Dr was very nice to meet got the first he was very interested in my issue and explained to me my options he gave me a shot from my pain in my shoulder and down the road if I feel like it’s bad enough, we’ll do surgery, but it was a pleasure meeting him today

Shoulder replacement surgeries!
Dr Amini has done both of my shoulder replacements. He is an excellent surgeon, very thorough at post- op appts and very personable. I do feel like he is overbooked , as my appointment did not begin until more than one hour after my appointment time. Maybe that would be a point for the schedulers!

Professionally and clinically expert, kind
Had been in limbo about what exactly was the situation with injury and overall damage to joint. Apparently an outlier in terms of exact issues. Dr. Ameni was very straightforward in explaining what the situation is and then how we proceed, etc. We left feeling better about moving forward. Throughout the appointment Dr. Ameni was very kind and I felt like I was in the best hands possible for my particular situation. I am feeling hopeful.
