Domenick J Sisto MD

Waited over an hour past spot. No seats available when we arrived. Would not recommend.

I had elbow surgery several years ago and it didn’t help at all. The pain is worse than before the surgery and am still extremely limited with my right elbow. On my post surgical appointment I told Dr. Sisto I didn’t feel any better, he simply ignored me wrote me a pain prescription and then walk out of the examining room.
Unless your interested in having to have surgery twice (as I will have to) I’d avoid Dr Sisto.

He has done a surgery on my knee. I didnot see him before the surgery, i didnot see him after. Did not even come to ask me how i’m doing after the surgery. My oppointment was scheduled on wednesday at his office in Sherman Oaks where i was first time, but when i came to this office they were very surprised, because they scheduled my oppointment in Palmdale office!!!
They told me to come to the surgical center at 5:00am. They take me to the room at noon! When i asked why did i come so early i was told in case if some patient will not come. No respect to the patients!
Can’t recommend. I’m not going back.

Rushed in, rushed out — after I suggested a back MRI for what he thought was a knee injury (why would my back hurt too) and had only given me a knee xray, at the nurse’s station as he was handing off his 3 minute diagnosis. Turns out I had a herniated disc, that I wouldn’t have found out about were it not for my own intervention and suggestion. Maybe he’s good for athletes, but he didn’t really give me the time of day or much help. Not impressed. The place was a farm — had tons of volume — lots of patients.

WORST — DOCTOR — EVER! Can I give zero stars? His total lack of care for my problem resulted in his mis-​disagnosing me, causing me a year of pain and perhaps a lifetime of misery.
I fell and broke my ankle last year. My GP took x-​rays and sent me to this so-​called «expert». He NEVER examined me, just took a quick glance at the x-​rays, had the rude nurse give me a horribly uncomfortable boot to wear and told me to see him in 6 weeks. The doctor was terribly condescending and rude and so was his staff, except for the receptionist.
When I went to my own doctor in 6 weeks, I found out that 2 bones in my foot were ALSO broken and were now healing improperly! If he had even bothered to take a real look at the x-​rays or examine me, it would have been obvious. My foot was swollen and black and blue, but it did not occur to him to actually examine it. Since the bones were not set properly, it is taking more than a year to heal, and they will never be correct. If I hadn’t taken it on myself to wrap my foot at night it would be worse.
Further — At least he DID give me a prescription for the pain (yeah — 3 bones fractured) but when we got to the pharmacy, it was written so illegibly, that the pharmacists couldn’t read it! I sat in the car in the rain for 2 hours while my wife and the pharmacist tried to reach Dr. Sisto but he never returned the many pages. Finally they reached another doctor.
Further — As we were leaving his office, his staff told us to go to a Medical Supply store for crutches, but it was too much trouble for them to get the address. «It’s just up the street» was all we could get. My poor wife was running around in the rain for blocks to find the place! While I sat out in the drizzle.
