Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Saied.
“I am hesitant to have knee replacement surgery and Dr Saied has been so helpful in helping me to make a decision. He said "I'll be here whenever you need me" and not pushing me at all to have it done. He was happy that I am attempting to lose weight and approved my low carb diet plan. Over all, his personality is charming and I will not hesitate to have him do surgery if it comes to that. Great man, great office staff.”
– Barbara G.
“Dr. Saied was a God send for me. He is patient, informative-he explained everything in detail, he spoke in lay terms, he answered all my questions, he appeared confident, very polite and I received daily messages chats from him. Dr. Saied literally saved my life. Several of us have a Saied group with nothing praises about him.”
– Barbara G.

“Dr. Saied is an excellent Doctor and surgeon. He is able to explain medical problems and procedures in terms that are understandable. He does not sugarcoat anything and tells you what to expect. He is able to give a shot in the knee with minimal discomfort. After a total knee replacement done by Dr. Saied I was able to walk within hours with less pain than I had in years.”

“I'm delighted with Dr. Saied and his staff. They answered all my questions, and I appreciated the follow up in my email after my surgery. The therapy was intense but very useful. I think without the treatment, I wouldn't be doing as well as I am right now. I want to thank Dr. Saied and staff for making my surgery and post surgery experience as bearable as possible. I would recommend you to everybody I know.”
– Troy F.
“Listened carefully to my description of what I was experiencing. Outlined possible treatments and made sure I understood what each entailed. Did not immediately jump to surgery as the best/only possibility. Follow up was very good.”
– Kathleen D.
“I had a total knee replacement in January. Things couldn’t have gone better! Dr. Saied is fantastic!! The hospital was great as well. The staff at SCOI was terrific. Whenever I called, they got back to me quickly and were always there to answer my questions. Would recommend!”

“There are really no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Saied and his staff. I saw him for my final follow-up yesterday and since my surgery on Nov. 14th, my life has taken a 180 degree turn for the better. For the last few years, every step I took was like being stabbed with a hot knife in the knee, pure agony. A total left knee revision after a total knee replacement 11 years ago was an easy decision. Now I walk pain free and I am so happy. He challenged me through the process of surgery, recovery and physical therapy and through that challenge I've become a better person and again so grateful. Just thinking about this entire process brings me to tears. The only thing I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Saied.”
– Terry S.
“Very good.”
– Pate E.
“Dr Saied treated my right knee in the past. I was very happy with the plan to replace and recover from surgery. He is now treating my left knee and has explained the action and direction for treatment. He is not rushed to replace the knee and is waiting to get diagnostics (X-Rey/MRI) before a full decision on treatment can be determined. To sum this up he is thorough in his plan of treatment.”
– Steve S.
“A very positive experience, Doc explained everything to me, met with me at the hospital,made sure that both myself and my family were informed and comfortable with what was going on. I am totally pleased with all of the staff at SCOI.”
– Chris C.

“My appointment with Dr. Saied was great. He always explains things clearly and takes time to answer any questions I have.”
– Bill W.
“The experience was just as good as always the people we worked with are very caring and kind to your problems, and also hear you. The doctor gives you time to talk to him and is very kind and caring, this is not the case with other places, I have been going the SCOI for the past 6 years and would not go anywhere else.”
– Nancy E.
“Excellent experience. I will be forever grateful to Dr Saied and Southern California Orthopedic Institute. I am 56 years old and suffered with a bad hip for the last eight years. I reached a point where I could no longer walk. I consider the hip surgery along with the loving concern, and follow up, on par with a true miracle in my life. I can now look forward to a full life ahead, with full mobility. I will be a spokes person as to the great work Dr. Saied has done and your life changing organization. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
– Dan B.
“I went in on January 12th for orthoscopic knee surgery. Before surgery I was limping could barely walk and in constant pain. I was definitely looking forward to surgery and am so glad that I had it done. I had minimal swelling and almost no pain after surgery. I finally remember what it's like to walk without a limp. Dr. Saied in my humble opinion is nothing short of my medical hero. I would certainly recommend him to anybody.”
– Shellie A.
“Best care and follow up.”
– Leif H.
“Excellent visit as usual.”
