Dr. Andrew M. Blecher

Dr. Blecher is a young, progressive and modern physician. Vastly knowledgeable of cutting edge procedures and skilled in using them. I have been truly impressed with Dr. Blecher's expertise and his recommendation of using Euflexxa injections in my arthritic hip. It has made a tremendous difference in my mobility and pain management.

Beware of any of these doctors who use industry nicknames like Dr. Andrew Blecher, "The Jock Doc" How does this sound to you.... I saw Dr. Andrew Blecher at UCLA Medical Center in Van Nuys, CA. This was only an initial consultation for Regenexx PRP treatment for my shoulder. Dr. Blecher examined me for about 20 minutes. And how much did they charge me just for this consultation? $1895 total!!!! And $998 my responsibility after insurance. And what did they charge me for? See for yourself: $660 for Ultrasound on my shoulders $150 for 1 shoulder X-Ray $1085 for "Office Visit" And how much would the actual PRP treatment cost? A mere $1300. After this so-called "consultation" at this so-called UCLA "Medical Center", I couldn't even afford the treatment. BEWARE of UCLA Medical Center, Dr. Andrew Blecher, and any medical establishment in the dystopian city of Los Angeles. They charge excessively and refuse to listen to customers' concerns.

Dr. Blecher is very gifted and patient. I have been coming for years.

They have a beautiful facility. I was treated with dignity and respect. I was in an out in just over an hour, that included filling out forms in the waiting room, having an x-ray and talking with the doctor. All in all very pleased with my visit

I have been getting my shots here for years and its always a good experience. This has kept me from needing knee replacement sjrgery.

Dr. Blecher and his staff are amazing. I’ve been coming here for many years and I’ve always been taken care of with compassion. I never hesitate to refer my friends to Dr Blecher’s office. Many of my family members come here as well and they are just as pleased as I am with the care. He is the best !

Good

Super friendly and informative, I felt like I was taken care of throughout the entire process-- from MRI to diagnosis to Regenexx and so forth. Still awaiting my knee to heal to fully know the results, but in terms of experience and interaction, really happy w/ Dr Blecher and the team

Accustomed to being quite active I was slowed down and in pain when I arrived at SCOI. I previously had X-rays taken which showed considerable arthritis in both knees. I worried that the only remedy for my painful arthritic left knee was surgery. Dr Blecher extracted a significant amount of fluid from my very swollen knee and then injected the first of three hyaluronic doses. It is more than a month since my last injection and I can say that my overall improvement is in the area of 80%. As further advised by Dr. Blecher I will continue to do my part incorporating more strengthening exercises into my regimen and avoiding pounding on the treadmill. I am hopeful that recovery will continue but I am prepared to repeat the procedure if necessary. It was relatively painless in comparison to the constant nagging pain that I was experiencing. Dr. Blecher’s assistants were as friendly and reassuring as he was and my experience at the office was excellent. Thank you!

His assistant Zack Gonzalez is absolutely the best really takes an interest in helping me feel Confident in my care

Quick, efficient, doctor and staff always spend time to thoroughly explain the procedure and my diagnosis to me. I will recommend my friends and family.

Very personable and knowledge. Spends time and listens.

He was to the point and quick. We went over my x-rays and he seems to know about his work.

All staff that I've interacted with have been very professional and courteous through the whole process

this is my 2nd time with dr. blecher! both times he was courteous and understanding! he took his time to explain my options to me and never insisted one way or the other on how i should or shouldn't proceed which was very refreshing! both times were for problems with my right knee and both times i feel safe with dr. blecher working on them! thank you so much doc!

I trust him implicitly.

very happy with Dr. Blecher and staff, they saved my knees

After doing my own research for pain i was having in myy hip and knee. I came across Dr. Blecher. What i thought was a groin pull and self treatment for months, and little success. Dr. Blecher diagnosed the issues (not groin) and put me on a treatment plan which has been a game changer. I've dealt with some medical professionals in the past where the first discussions after diagnosis is surgery. Dr. Blecher was the opposite...everything but surgery to give relief until all other treatments are exhausted. Very much appreciated. Explains each step, what to expect and why. Couldn't be happier. Great staff and excellent treatment, follow up and care. Dr. Blecher will always be my go to!

I have being seeing Dr. Blecher now for about ten years. I have never had a bad experience with him. He is very caring and always very helpful with his care.

great

I had stem cell therapy with Regenerex and Dr Blecher was the perfect doctor to have on this proceedure. Great "bedside manner", the procedure was painless and all my questions were answered i a professional manner

I've seen Dr. Blecher for hip, ankle, and shoulder injuries from my mountain biking and snowboarding crashes. He always focuses in on the factual diagnosis, and suggests and performs treatments and/or therapy to get me back in action quickly. I've sent my wife and kids and friends to him too and they are all happy with his friendliness and results.

so happy i chose to use Dr Blecher....Im having great results and excited for the future results

I had 1 appointment with Dr. Blecher. X-Rays were taken and the Dr. suggested injections or stem cell therapy. I attempted to book an appointment to get injections. I could not get his office on the phone (with multiple attempts) or get a response from several emails. I emailed the Dr. directly through the UCLA portal. He never responded. Heaven help anyone who needs him.

cool

Dr. Blecher and his staff were very knowledgeable, kind, and very patient. They are a great team.

Very knowledgeable and gave me direct information on if PRP would be be beneficial for my specific injury.

I am extremely happy with Dr. Blecher and his staff. My appointments at SCOI is always on time and the other staff are great. I have had a wonderful experience with all of my procedures with Dr. Blecher. Emily has been fantastic and Michael is a great resource.

The process was precisely as briefed. I found the staff to be very helpful and in tune with Dr Blecher.

Dr. Blecher is top of the line. He has treated my tendon problems with amazing results.

a perfecr 10

I was grateful for Dr.Blecher's honesty about the potential outcomes for this procedure and appreciated his thorough explanations as we went on.

Had an old ACL injury and little meniscus left. Dr Blecher thought a PRP/stem cell/PRP treatment would help as an alternative to knee replacement, so was excited to explore this option. The experience has been great with staff, Dr Blecher & the procedures!

Good stuff Lucky to have him.

Dr. Blecher is awesome, his team is so caring!

Described condition very clearly and thoroughly after taking adequate time for examination. Treatment options were described in detail, and administered with care and professionalism.

Dr, Blecher has helped me with my knees after all the running I did in my early years. He takes the conservative approach, which I like. I am extremely happy and have avoided having knee replacement.

Dr. Blecher and his staff are super knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. The diagnosis was fast and accurate, and the course of treatment has been helpful. I look forward to getting better, but it's good to know that Dr. Blecher is here for any sports-related injuries I have. Thanks!

My experience with Dr. Blecher has been nothing, but wonderful. He's always so diligent and professional. The staff is also very kind and helpful whenever I have any additional questions. Highly recommend Dr. Blecher for any Orthopedic attention!

Competent and thorough. Great experience through and through. Takes the time to explain diagnosis and treatment options.

It is a pleasure to have Dr. Blecher. He has diagnosed and cured all of my problems since I have been seeing him. I would highly recommend Dr. Blecher.

Dr. Blecher and his team were very patient and took to the time to answer all my questions during and even after my appointments. They were all very open, accessible and friendly. Dr. Blecher was also very straight forward about what can be helped with his specialty and what can't. Thank you!

Felt heard and understood. Looking forward to regenerative medicine options for my injury. Office is friendly and top notch, extremely happy!

Euflexa shots: Dr Blecher always answers all my questions. I have been his patient for several years. I refer my friends to him

Outstanding professional service every step of the way. Very empressed with the entire experience. Staff was amazing and helpful. Thank you !

After 5 years of 24/7 shoulder pain treatments that included Trigger Point injections, Acupuncture, Rotator Cuff Surgery, Shoulder Replacement, a Epidural Injection in my neck and lastly a recommendation for neck surgery. I requested a 2nd. opinion to see Dr. Blecher. he took the time to understand my problem (that's a first). 1 injection into the shoulder bursa and for the first time in 5 years I'm pain free and able to sleep through the night!

I highly recommend Dr. Blecher because he knows his craft and I always receive excellent care. He's direct and to-the-point, and I like that. I have been in to see him about a number of different issues that have plagued me over the years. He surrounds himself with excellent staff, too!

He took time to listen to my concerns, was very thorough and explained everything clearly to me.

Dr. Blecher is courteous and informative. He takes time to answer questions and seems truly concerned about a patient's well being.
