Dr Sacco did great work on my carpal tunnel surgery. Pain and numbness was gone almost instantly. Surgical staff great also. Took great care of me. Highly recommend!
Great experience!
(Translated by Google) Very good doctor and understanding and kind, thank you very much and I highly recommend him. (Original) Muy buen doctor y comprensivo y amable muchas gracias y lo recomiendo muchísimo
Been going to Dr. Sacco for 20 years. Great experience and great doctor would recommend him to anybody.
Was referred after a highway motorcycle crash (1/14) for surgery. I deferred to Dr. Sacco's judgement on how to proceed. Only needed a cast and time to heal. I have 95% mobility and 70% strength back as of this post. Staff are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. I appreciate the no nonsense style of work.
I have been going to Dr.Sacco for various issues for years, mainly my hands and shoulders. He took care of my fingers going numb. Having had carpal tunnel surgery with no issues whatsoever. He’s taken care of my shoulders on various occasions enabling me to continue to work and provide for my family. If your hands, arms or shoulders are bothering you he’s probably the one you need to see. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Dr.Sacco.
Hi my encounter with Dr Sacco was a very pleasant experience he was very professional n it was his Birthday 🙂

Great doctor. I had carpal tunnel surgery done. He did a great job. I also got hurt in my Rotary cuff And bicep and he did a great job.

Great people good attitudes
On June 29, 2023, I had an Orthopedic appointment with Dr. Michael F. Sacco in lieu of my Carpal Tunnel. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very professional, friendly staff. I had never been to an Orthopedic Surgeon before, didn't know what to expect, I had "White Coat Syndrome", tense, full of anxiety. However, I found him to be Professional, Knowledgeable, Personable, Thorough. He was very friendly, and informative, direct, and I like/appreciate his candor. He explained his findings, diagnosis, options and treatment plan for positive resolution. Last but not least, to my surprise, he has a great sense of humor. He put my mind at ease. By the time my appointment was over, I felt like I had known him for a while, and I was anxiety free. I'm very glad that I was referred to him by my Orthopedic Doctor. I would not want to go to any Orthopedic Surgeon. I highly recommend this Orthopedic Surgeon/office.

I had complete faith in Dr.Sacco’s knowledge and treatment of my injury.
Dr. Sacco and his staff were cordial and professional. I saw him for a hand injury and I left with a peace of mind knowing I did not need surgery. I liked his carefull apprach assessing my wrist and arm. I really appreciated this.
I was registered promptly, and seen fairly quickly about a fractured finger. Dr. Sacco was also prompt and efficient. He gave me what I needed—no need for pinning or other procedure!
Very good attention y helpful
Dr Sacco was quick, responsive and timely. He has very good doctor
Very nice front desk staff, wait time was short. I did not have to wait long in the room for the Doctor. I was there for my right shoulder, he was very thorough and found issues the MRI did not. We shall see what happens next.
Dr. Sacco has done multiple treatments for "locking" finger joints over several years. His technique is extremely skilled and makes an uncomfortable process quite tolerable. I highly recommend Dr. Sacco for his specialty.
Caring and wonderful staff
He was straight forward and told me exactly what needs t be done to fix the issue. I appreciate that
I highly recommend Dr Sacco. He is a very caring and great doctor could not ask for a better orthopedic surgeon very Inpormative.
This was my first shoulder surgery. Dr.Sacco explained to me how the surgery will be performed. Shoulder replacement surgery went well. Yesterday was the third week. Will see him a week from now so I can arrange for physical therapy. I would definitely recommend him.
I researched orthopedic Dr's and really liked the reviews for Dr Sacco & I was talking to one of my friends about my problem, well guess what, a friend of his had the Same problem & he had gone to see Dr Sacco & had great results! Made my appointment, not too long of a wait, checked in online, no problems, went my appointment, met Dr Saaco , he had them xray my hands, he came back, gave me my options and away we went! Problems solved with wonderful results! He will be my orthopedic Dr from now on!
Dr. Sacco , thank you very very much for your great expertise, very pleased of the outcome of my surgery and is now almost completely pain free .
I like that Dr. Sacco showed me the X-rays and explained what was going on with my hands. He then explained what he recommended, and although it hurt like a son of a gun, he gave me numbing injections first, and then administered the cortisone injections. Again, still painful, but only for a few seconds. Small price to pay for hands that feel soooo much better! Dr. Sacco was easy to talk with, and has a great background (I do lots of research before selecting a physician!).
I had received a medical referral to see Dr. Sacco. I was told he was one of the best doctors in the field located in the bay area. The atmosphere of the office was friendly. Dr. Sacco examined my hand, made a drawing of how a normal hand should operate. He then explained the options of treatment. Dr. Sacco allowed me time to decide before administering the treatment. The entire process was quick and easy. My hand is less painful and operating the way it should. I would definitely recommend him if you are in need of Orthopedic services.
Great service!
I highly recommend Dr. Sacco. I’ve had my share of seeing orthopedic surgeons for various reasons. I did my research and Dr. Sacco is highly regarded in his field by fellow surgeons, staff and other patients. He is very thorough and takes the time figure out individually the plan of action for his patients. He also saw my husband for a work-related arm surgery, fixing and repairing someone else’s previous work that was done out of the area. I highly recommend Dr. Sacco.
I am very aware that Dr. Sacco is a very talented surgeon. His examination was short but comprehensive. My concerns were functioning of my hand and fingers and preventative recommendations to slow progression of the Dupuytrens contraction. It was an informative visit but I felt that Dr Sacco could have been more helpful but he seemed distracted by my age (76!) and didn’t take into account that I am a very active person whose family history is of longevity! As a retired nurse I am well aware as to how to control pain and avoid detrimental activities that would increase damage. I would have faith in his surgical prowess but I think he could brush up on his personal interactive skills and maybe consider how he would like to be approached in his “Golden” years.
Great surgeon and I'm very much so pleased with the service, professionalism and I love that you cannot see any scars. Thank you so much Dr Sacco. Also I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sacco treating me. Highly recommended!
Dr. Michael F. Sacco - is one of the best Doctors, as well as Surgeon I’ve ever had. He gives patients a concise explanation as to what’s happening. Also, he has an excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr. Michael F. Sacco to anyone who wants the best medical care! Dwayne Beverly

Dr Sacco is the best. He listens and explains in detail and makes it easy to understand. I highly recommend.
Had a shoulder injury at work after a few months of physical therapy. An orthopedic surgeon took over my case. Dr. Sacco with Golden State orthopedics and spine was my surgeon. He was very informative and answered all my questions to Surgery went off without a hitch. My shoulder is never going to be 100% but the pain is relieved and that’s what mattered to me the most. I would absolutely refer if you need a surgery to go see Dr. Sacco for orthopedic needs.
Dr.sacco is very personable, treat's his patients with the utmost care,very knowledgeable, and skilled surgeon, I would Recommend him to my family and friends.
He’s great!
Dr. Sacco has been my doctor for 10 years. Every time I saw him I left his office without pain. As time went on my shoulder got worse. Dr. Sacco replaced my shoulder quite successfully. I am again without pain. My wife saw him for her hands. Again, the visit was successful. We highly recommend Dr. Sacco for all your orthopedic needs.
Short wait to see Dr Sacco for consultation regarding hand surgery. Dr Sacco was friendly and helpful. He fully explained the available options both surgical and non surgical. I left the office with sufficient information to make a decision about my treatment options.
Dr. Sacco is thorough and gets to the point without a lot of Medical lingo. I went to him for shoulder pain and got a cortisone shot; Dr. Sacco is now in my prayers. There is NEVER a 10-30 minute wait…. You’re seen as close to your appointment time as possible. Thank you Golden State Ortho and Dr. Sacco, I can move my arm with ease and without pain! Carol O’Regan
Courteous Professional
DR SACCO is very caring and very professional. If you need a Dr. He is the one you need, so stop looking, Dr Sacco is the best 👌
Dr. Sacco is the best! He repaired a tendon in my elbow almost 10 years ago and it's still pain free. And I had to have a rotator cuff repair this past March. I'm healing well! And Dr. Sacco is always on time for appointments!
Dr. Sacco does a good job of putting patients at ease. I feel fortunate he was my surgeon.
Been seeing Dr. Sacco for many years now mainly for wrist arthritis. He is always considerate of my pain and makes choice of threatment, which is usually a cortisone injection. I trust him completely.
Took a bad fall in the port of Maui near the end of January. I injured my left hand. I was in a significant amount of pain, for about two months. I had a splint for about 1 1/2 months which I got no results. I went to see Dr. Sacco around 2 months after the fall, at which time I had significant swelling in two of my fingers. He diagnosed me with ligament damage in both fingers. He gave me 2 cortisone shots and incredibly by the next day the swelling and pain were completely gone. For the first time in 2 + months I can say I am completely pain free!
Dr Sacco , has done some fantastic work on me and his bedside manner is 100%as well could not ask for a better Orthopedic Surgeon, staff is also great !!! Thank you Dr Sacco
Great experience overall
He is great and his team is wonderful. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet all of them.
A great doctor and surgeon....
Dr Sacco is a fabulous Surgeon. He did a fantastic job on my trigger finger surgery. You can't even tell I had surgery as he hid the incision in the creases of my hand. I highly recommend him as a Dr and as a surgeon. If I have any hand problems in the future I will make sure I see Dr Sacco, I completely trust him with my care. Thank you Dr Sacco.
It is so nice to have answers for the weird movements my arm does and the swelling. I don’t feel like an alien so much anymore.
Dr. Jared socco is extremely a great doctor he recommended my mom to have an MRI because due to the findings of the other doctors it was incorrect also he was feeling for the nerves and tendons if it was the problem so I highly recommend Dr. Socco Thanks again dr. Socco
Dr Sacco is wonderful! He has taken care of me for about 20 years. Anytime I am asked, I refer friends and family to Dr Sacco. Stacey Alessandro-Acosta
I was pleased with my visit with Dr. Michael Sacco. I didn't feel rushed. I also felt comfortable communicating to him. He listened, I felt he cared which I really appreciate it.
Dr Sacco is straightforward and to the point. Works for me. He also has a fun dry sense of humor. We always give each other a good laugh.
Good doctor, good staff, and a nice guy.
Dr. Michael Sacco operated on my broken wrist and did a very nice job. The operating room nurse told me that he is a "gifted surgeon" which I suspected already from talking with him. He is top notch! He also has a very nice straightforward communication style, which is reassuring. I very highly recommend this doctor for your hand surgery.
