I incor­po­rate the best prac­tices in mus­cu­loskele­tal care in a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary prac­tice to empow­er patients to reclaim their func­tion and improve their health. In my prac­tice, I val­ue the process of lis­ten­ing to the patient and under­stand­ing the whole per­son before for­mu­lat­ing a treat­ment plan that achieves pos­i­tive results for the patient.

I will keep on getting stronger, keep on learning, and I am grateful for all the tender care you keep on providing in spite of the challenges. You have set a good example for me to learn from. I hope to have brought you joy, Dr. Shahbandar (you are family). You contributed to building my patient relationship with my therapists, and I am grateful for this. Your staff has been wonderful to me and supportive. You have helped me in making beautiful memories Dr. Shahbandar. I plan to make many more and share them with you! Thank you for this confidence. Truly, forever grateful for you!"

"Dr. Lena took the time to review all my medical notes, you may think that is a basic concept but not all doctors do this. She was kind and caring. She immediately got me into an appointment to do a test on me the following day. She looks at you and is concerned about getting you better. She took a good deal of time for me, even though she was sick at my last appointment and she had to reschedule. She fit me into her schedule even though I knew she was doing double duty to see all the patients she missed from the day of her illness. Not many doctors would do that, but she did."
