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.

Great dr. Just needs more help there. Still waiting for another surgery

Broken collar bone
I had surgery, placed a plate on it.I'm happy it all went well, but I have to tell you: No one is gonna ask me to recommend a surgeon. But if they did, I'd recommend him.

Would not suggest
He came in for about 5 minutes total, diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome without testing. He then stated a Cortizone shot would most likely heal it completely. After trying to advocate for further testing to make sure it was a correct diagnoses, he said none of the testing is accurate and again pushed for a Cortizone shot. I was not heard, educated, or understood. He consistently pushes his own agenda with annoyance. I would not recommend.

Warning, do not use Dr. Healy
Regrettably, I must warn against using Dr. Healy due to my own severe experience. Following my CMC surgery in Dec 2021, my right-hand remains unusable, a stark contrast to a successful procedure on my left hand by another surgeon. Post-surgery, my concerns were dismissed as tendonitis, despite the clear surgical failure. This has led to two unsuccessful revision surgeries at Cedar Sinai. Dr. Healy's approach, seemingly influenced by his financial interest in Cascade Surgery Center, prioritized additional procedures over patient care. I'm sharing my story to urge potential patients to carefully consider their choice of surgeon, emphasizing the importance of finding someone who genuinely prioritizes patient well-being. My experience is a somber reminder of the irreversible consequences of choosing a healthcare provider without thorough vetting.

Overcharged
Dr Healey saw me for literally 3 minutes, but the charged me for code 99214 which is for 30 to 39 minute visites, for 10 minutes the code should 99212 and it's a lesser charge

Was not seen, was not heard
His staff made me feel like my visit wasn't necessary. The assistant or nurse or whatever her position was was short with me and made me feel like she wanted to get me in and out quickly. I had been in a lot of pain for weeks and they hardly looked at the imaging Id had done at the hospital in ER. Dr. Healy didn't want to do more imaging to be sure what he was diagnosing me with, he even made a comment hed have to "cut me open to be sure whats going on in there". I didn't feel heard or seen and I had a lot of questions when I left. Ive never left a doctor visit feeling like I did. Ever. He gave me no paperwork or follow-up directions. Threw steroids at me and sent me on my way. I had taken my coat and sling off and he stood at the door waiting for me to go, it took a few minutes to get it all back on and he didn't say a word to me, just stared. In the end I think his diagnosis was correct, Ill know when I see a specialist in a few days. He never even checked back.

Dr. Healy was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided precisely enough information so that I knew what was and was not reasonable to expect during and after the surgery (carpal tunnel release). A very efficient and not unpleasant experience all around.

Not so happy…
Had surgery to repair a bone chip at the base of my left index finger. I didn’t realize there was a problem, the break was spotted when my hand was x-rayed for another injury. Since the surgery, I have a constant dull pain in my hand. I will get a second opinion in the future.

Left arm injury.
I would never see him again! He didn't listen to me and had his own tunnel vision of what he thought the issue was. Two other doctors completely disagreed with him and they were both correct. NOT IMPRESSED!

Arthritis in both thumbs.
Swift check-in and wait time to be ushered to examination room. I provided a brief review of my thumb pain issue to Melanie who scheduled X-ray and then ushered off to get it complete. Dr. Healy reviewed my X-ray's, diagnosed the problem and thoroughly explained remedy options and potential outcomes. Received shots in both thumbs and fit braces. I am very pleased with how The Center is operated and my results to mitigate thumb pain. Yes, I'll need to return for future shots, but the pain relief defiantly has a positive impact on my daily outlook. Thank you to Dr. Healy and his team.
