DR MICHAEL MICHLITSCH

I have been struggling with achy shoulder pain for several months. Dr. Michlitsch has been very helpful with both the diagnosis and getting me started with physical therapy.

DR. MICHLITSCH WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. APPRECIATED NOT RUSHING TO SURGERY ON MY SHOULDER AND TRYING PT FIRST.

Dr M was kind, supportive, and patient with me throughout the whole process . I get very anxious especially for surgeries, but I felt very comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend Dr. M.

I’m not sure five stars is enough to describe this doctor. From the very first visit, he clearly explained the situation and set realistic post-operation expectations. He also checked in with me both before and after the surgery, providing exceptional care throughout. Thank you for making my recovery a little easier

Doc Michlitch is GREAT. Personal, personable and professional. His team is too. Surgery went flawlessly and he keeps me active through a myriad of other “weekend warrior” injuries old and new.

Dr. Michlitsch took his time to walk me through the surgical process for my shoulder. He is very kind and cares about his patients. Highly recommend him. Also, the admin staff are also really great.

Great experience- friendly , professional and clear communication- all so important when you are injured and need an operation! You are in great hands with Dr Michlitsch and his staff!

Dr. Michlitsch and his staff at GSOS have been amazing. He has always been very clear and direct with his analysis of my injuries. He has had to repair my knee and shoulder in the past few years and I couldn’t have asked for better support and results!

Dr. Michlitsch is the best! He spent time with me asking questions and finding out what was going to work best for my shoulder issues. He also listened to my concerns and was understanding of my limitations. Ultimately I received a cortisone shot and my pain has decreased significantly.

I turned to Dr. Michlitsch during the most critical moments of my health conditions. He always listened carefully and provided the best recommendations to improve and treat my conditions. I am very grateful to Dr. Michlitsch for his highly professional attitude and support when I truly needed medical help. This is the doctor I would recommend to my family and friends.

Very professional explained all my options explained the procedures that I could possibly have to help rectify my issues

Listened to my issue and prescribed a treatment. It went well and i am happy. I recommend Dr Michlitsch to be your doctor.

Dr. Michlitsch is an outstanding surgeon with amazing bedside manor. He is thorough, listens & takes his time. This can lead to delays at the office but he spends quality time with each patient. I had a traumatic full thickness tear of my rotator cuff and had surgery September 2023. I was scheduled and treated quickly. Dr. Michlitsch took his time explaining my injury & treatment plan.

Dr. Michlitsch is absolutely the best. He has preformed two surgeries on my son’s right leg. My son had a multi ligament injury from football. He was 16 yrs old when he blew out his leg and tore all 4 ligaments and has nerve damage in his right foot. He was at John Muir hospital for 12 days and Dr. Michlitsch came to see him at the hospital to evaluate him. Dr. Mithlitsch put my son back together again with minimal scars on his leg. With this traumatic event Golden State has made the process so much easier. From Frankie in scheduling who is an absolute gem to coordinate. To Rachel, Dr. Mitchlitsch’s PA who takes so much time with my son and shows his his progress. The physical therapy team at Brentwood who work with Dr. Mitchlitschs recommendations. Everyone has his best interests at heart. Thank you again for all your expertise. The only bummer is his office is only in San Ramon but when you are that good ( which Dr. Mitchlitsch is) your pts will come to you. :)

I always have a wonderful experience with Dr. Michlitsch office. He has a great team. They are thoughtful, thorough, and friendly. They listen to your needs and work with you to find a solution. For example, I got confused on the office location for my appointment and they were able to work me in at the correct office. Dr Michlitsch is an excellent physician. He spends a lot of time examining the patients’ injuries and giving detailed explanation to the patient. I've always received the best care possible for all my orthopedic issues for many years. I highly recommend choosing him for medical issues.

Dr. Michlitsch is a doctor that you can trust. He made sure to order all of the necessary tests to ensure that he was making the right diagnosis. I am grateful for his expertise and the time that he took to answer all of my questions.

Dr Michlitsch was very thorough and took the time to review MRI with me , discuss my shoulder issue, answer my many questions, then explained best treatment .

Hello, I would like complement Golden State Orthopedic office in San Roman for their superbly service to exceeded my expectations any time I have a visit due to my disability I don’t have to wait that long and Dr. Michlitsch is one of the BEST Orthopedic doctor .

Thank you Dr. Michlitsch for ur help with my surgery and I hope to recover and be able to stand on my foot . Aziz Mogaddedi

He was very patient with me and answered all my concern. He explained to me all my different options.

If you find yourself needing an orthopedic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Michlitsch! Not only did he successfully repair my tibia plateau with little scaring, he took great care to make sure I got the physical therapy I needed.

Excellent Dr. Very responsive. Takes time to explain.

Dr Michlitsch is awesome… really can’t say enough. Great surgeon and really goes out of his way to explain things. Thank you Dr Michlitsch!

Dr. Michlitsch really listens to concerns and practices best medicine.

Dr. Michlitsch was personable & attentive. My ankle is doing fine, just as he predicted.

Dr. Michlitsch is an excellent and very knowledgeable doctor! He listened to my concerns and every single question that I had and took the time to respond to all of them and explained everything very clearly! Thank you

From my first visits with Dr.Michlitsch when it was decided that I needed rotator cuff surgery, the subsequent surgery, physical therapy and post-op visits, Dr. Michlitsch was always professional, had excellent bedside manner and demeanor, and took the time to explain things. I am pain free and back playing golf while swinging the club with vigor and without the ever present pain that I was experiencing. Dr. Michlitsch is an excellent surgeon!

I just want to thank ,Dr.Michael G. Michlitsch for my left knee arthroscopy surgery on Oct. 2022. I was in so much pain and limited to daily activities. Now after surgery and months of physical therapy ,I’m pain free and able to get back to my normal routine.😊 I would highly recommended you to my family and friends.

I had a painful shoulder problem that reduced function and mobility. Dr Michlitsch was fabulous with respect to diagnosis and treatment/surgery. MRI apparently indicated bicep & rotator cuff issues. On the day of surgery, only bicep tear was repaired since rotator cuff was OK. Unpleasant but doable recovery. Unfortunately, I still have problems playing golf due to lower back issue. But i couldn't play golf very well before surgery either! I would very highly recommend Dr. Michlitsch for help with your musculoskeletal issues!

Dr Michlitsch he is very friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to, I’m glad I got to meet him and to be under his care. Thank you Dr. Michlitsch

Dr Michlitsch has been my orthopedic specialist for over a year now. He always takes the time to listen and advise me based on his extensive medical knowledge. I would say that his strength is his expertise- and would highly recommend him as a specialist that can advise on broader or slightly more unusual medical situations than the norm.

Very kind knowledgeable and caring doctor. I consider him the best in his field based on my personal experiences with two surgeries.

Dr. Michlitsch is kind, caring and most of all a highly qualified surgeon. Dr. Michlitsch and his team helped my hip get back to normal. I wish I had chosen care here sooner.

Great doctor and staff, super friendly and professional. Everything was explained and carried out as expected. Thanks so much!

Dr. Michael G. Michlitsch was great with listening to me and also explaining with the issues that I have with my knee injury. I would highly recommend him.

Saw Dr Michlitsch for shoulder OA/spurs — he was very patient and caring and explained exactly what was going on and my treatment options. No surgery (yet!) so can’t comment on that procedure

Great surgeon. Successful surgery.

Very good service

Great Doctor. Always listens to what you have to say. I have been going to him for over 7 years, and will keep going to him

The dr Michael G.Michlitsch is very kind, and it was good because he explained well. Also, if my arm is in trouble, I will call the doctor again.

I had knee ACL surgery by Dr. Michlitsch in 2018. When I first met with him he reviewed my xray with me and explained everything. I remember he said surgery is a big deal when it is on you...meaning he understands it is a big decision. I met with 5 other surgeons and many just rushed in and out quickly explaining the process. He was the most caring, capable surgeon I met with. I did not just choose him because of his great personality. What is most important is that you are in experienced hands and will have a positive outcome! I am so happy I had him perform my surgery. I can attest years later now that my knee is in great shape. My friend also had him as her surgeon and said he was great. His staff was also very attentive to my needs during the whole process. I highly recommend him!

I’ve seen Dr Michlitsch for over 10 years and feel fortunate to have him as my physician. He has treated me for an uncommon knee condition and kept me from having to have more surgeries. He understands that medical issues also need to be treated from the patient’s perspective in terms of communication and management. He’s offered suggestions for how I can best care for my injury along with up-to-date treatment practices. And they’ve worked! I have continued to have an active lifestyle. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

Dr. Michlitsch was very kind to aspirate and inject my knee. I've been waiting for months for this injection and, even though he wasn't my physician, he did it anyway. It was the most painless process I've experienced (including multiple similar aspirations and injections) and I'm very grateful. He also took the time to show me the difference between the fluid in my knee and what it should be like. Appreciated the conversation, education, and personal touch.

Dr. Michlitsch is an outstanding surgeon. I have a very positive outcome after my rotator cuff surgery. I had minimal post surgery pain. I healed quickly. My shoulder feels wonderful now. He was very thorough in explaining everything from my injury to the surgery to post surgery care. He drew an illustration of the my injury and the surgery. He has excellent communication skills.

Dr Michlitsch was very good made me feel comfortable and very knowledgeable I would recommend him to everyone he’s good.

I am a new patient of dr. Michlitsch and so happy because he explained clearly what's wrong with my knee i recomend him a 100%

Consulted with Dr. Michlitsch over 10 years for knee and shoulder issues. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. He listens to your description of symptoms and offers reasonable options for care. He is a patient advocate and a partner in the care and well being of his patients.

(Best visit) Turned my regular visit of a miss read MRI appointment into the truth about my injury an explained everything thing to me while doing very highly recommended not just one of those doctors that tells you something off the top of his head he tells you an then shows you helped my life because I could have gotten no surgery for what it was originally read but not I’m gonna get the right surgery appreciate you DR.MICHLITSCH!!

I had shoulder replacement surgery with Dr. Michlitsch and am very satisfied with the procedure and the outcome of the surgery so far. No real pain and recovering well. I would recommend him to friends and family. I was impressed by all of the staff.

Amazing facility with the most professional staff. The service was impeccable from the second I walked in, to the doctors and all the assistants too. They have a wide variety of specialist that can help you with any ailment in your body within the scope of orthopedics. They had me diagnosed and on my way to recovery in a safe, and quick manner, thanks to the hands and care from Dr. Mike Michlitsch. I completely endorse this facility and the work they do. Thanks Golden Gate Orthopedics for everything you have done.

Dr M. along with his PA have done an outstanding job with my surgery and after care. I’ve had multiple setbacks and the doctor has been very supportive in helping me get through this. My set backs are not attributed to the surgeon and his staff. I continue to look forward to the day with the doctors help that I’m completely back to normal. Thanks Dr. M. and his PA Rachel.

(Translated by Google) I think that up to this point in my injury I would recommend Dr. Michael G. Michlitsch. I am still undergoing treatment and I hope my expectations do not change. (Original) Pienso que hasta este momento de mi lesión yo recomendaría al Dr. Michael G. Michlitsch aún estoy en tratamiento y espero que mis espectativas no cambien.

Dr. Michlitsch was extremely thorough and patient. He took the time to answer all of my questions. My surgery was an absolute success!

He was always patient and listened to my concerns. He offered solutions that would give me the best possible results to be pain free.

Did a very good job on my shoulder operation.

Excellent doctor and cares about his patients . Addresses your concerns in a professional manner.

I'm not the ideal patient given my age and overall health Dr. Michlitsch never let that stand in his way and and has made a huge difference in my life. I'll always be grateful to him and all support staff...

excellent doctor and cares about patients. does not rush surgery or follow up recovery.

This Dr. has an excellent reputation and I trust him with any operation he needs to do. He's excellent with any procedure he needs to do. Great!!

Awesome experience. Everything has gone great with my knee surgery. Everyone has been very attentive and caring.

As a medical professional we tend to judge our peers with a finer microscope than some. I assure you there is no better orthopedic surgeon in the tri-valley for knee injuries! From pre-op to post operative follow up appointments he is not just thorough but kind and patient as well. Thank you so much Doctor for being a leader in the industry!

I have seen Dr Michitsch several times :-( and he has been a consummate professional. Explains options very well and is very to the point. I would highly recommend him for orthopedic surgery.

Dr. Michlitsch (10 stars) He is extremely professional, kind, respectful and he really wants to help you get back to living a quality life as soon as physical possible. Staff and facilities are top notch (10) extremely attentive from the front office staff to the back of office assistants. The surgery booking team (10) will keep you informed every step of the way, and work with you to make this a seemless transition from pre op to post op recovery as well as your pre and post rehabilitation. I highly recommend this surgen snd his team, if you need help and are doing your research, this was my choice and you will find should be your choice. Thank you to Dr Michlitsch for your professionalism and caring, and to your staff for all there help. Sincerely, Jamie Dutton

Awesome doctor ! I trust him with any surgery to my hip or knee again! He is very patient, knowledgeable, and caring!

Dr. Michlitsch was very pleasant and sympathetic. His staff are very accommodating except for the receptionist a young girl who’s a bit rude and impolite but I still gave 5 stars for Dr. Michlitsch
