Dr. Wiseman is one of the best surgeons around the Bay Area. #1 Caring compassionate Surgeon. He listens and puts you first. #2 Knowledgeable and up to date in the field. He specializes in shoulders and knees and is up on all research and cutting edge robotics. #3 Skilled, respected, AMAZING surgeon. He has done my right shoulder, left shoulder, left knee scope and now my left knee replacement. Four surgeries. Four recoveries. And one amazing surgeon and team that is top notch. Don't go anywhere else. See Dr. Wiseman. Your body will thank you.

Dr, Wiseman performed a Reverse Right Shoulder Replacement in early May 1, 2024 and it apparently went well, although just starting my ninth week of recovery arm is still a bit sore. I think Dr. Wiseman has done a superb job in the procedure and I have full confidence that the same procedure on my left shoulder, torward the end of the year, will be done with the same level of professionalism.

I love Dr Wiseman. He has been taking care of me for over 15 years. I had serious knee issues and working with him, we were able to resolve the issues. He is a very caring physician and surgeon and I would never think of using a different physician for any of the issues he is able to work with in his field of expertise. I have always felt secure with him and trust his judgments of what is the best treatment I need for any injuries I have had. He also treated my son for an injury he had to his wrist while wrestling for his high school team in 2008 - 2009. Actually that is how I met Dr Wiseman. I wish all of my John Muir doctors were cloned after Dr Wiseman. We could use many more doctors like him.

I had knee aspirations, cortisone , gel injections, all recommended by a Dr. Well , nothing helped . I then went to Dr. Wiseman and he said just get a knee replacement.

As a 66yr. old man I found that body parts don't seem to work as good as they once did especially when you take a fall. When it was determined that a complete shoulder replacement was needed I knew who and where I needed to go! DOCTOR WISEMAN with GOLDEN STATE ORTHOPEDICS & SPINE Finding out you'll be needing something anything replaced on or in your body can and was a bit frightening and leaves you with alot of questions. Doctor Wiseman was there to infom and assure me things will workout fine and they have, early 2023 surgery arrived and things went great. I'm on the mend but recovery is going along well. Thank you Doctor Wiseman for your skill knowledge and kindness, if there is a next time I want you by my side, And a shout out to the Amazing JOHN MUIR HOSPITAL in Walnut Creek, and to all those who held my hand through it all.

My left shoulder was in terrible shape due to a botched joint replacement job from years ago by a different physician. Last July, Dr. Craig Wiseman performed the first of three surgeries that, very literally, saved my life. I met him in the Emergency Room in July 2022 with an acute infection and sepsis. When I say he “saved my life,” I was on the brink of total disaster, and he saved me. I have experience dealing with many, many doctors over recent years, for one thing or another. As a patient, I have come to know Dr. Wiseman and found him to be always caring, always kind and sensitive, a good and very clear communicator, and the consummate professional. As a hospital patient he showed up practically every day to check on me. As an office patient, although I typically I have to wait, his feedback, instructions, and encouragement are all worth the wait. On a scale of 1-10, Dr. Wiseman is a solid 10. I recommend him highly.

I had surgery almost seven weeks. After going back and forth with other surgeons and having this be my second surgery, Dr. Wiseman took the time and energy to evaluate different routes to help my problem. Not only did he take the time to address the issue adequately, but he was able to get me in and do the surgery without any problems. It’s a long way to recovery, but so far, I feel better as time progresses. Dr. Wiseman takes the time to listen and go over any questions or concerns that (we) as patients have. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking of or looking to have some knee surgery.

Great experience with Craig M. Wiseman, MD as my orthopedic surgen. The surgery went as planned which is what you want. Golden State Orthopedics & Spine staff are nice. Though an area of improvement that I’d recommend is to implement a system where patients can send questions to their doctors. I needed to call repeatedly when I had post-op questions and in some cases repeat my question to multiple people. It would have been great if I could email in my question and get a response from the doctor or his staff. Dr Wiseman is A+ and I’d recommend him. I would recommend the Brentwood location.

From the very first time I met with Dr. Wiseman in 2020, I have thought he was wonderful. The way he explains things, listens and most importantly knows his job. Dr. Wiseman will be replacing both of my knees in the near future and as much as I hate surgery, I have trusted him from day one. I am thankful that they will be one one surgery at a time. Dr. Wiseman has recommended that I continue to lose weight to better prepare my body before and after surgery and I appreciate that. That tells me he is concerned about me as a whole person and not just as a person needing bilateral total knee replacement surgery. I will recommend Dr. Craig Wiseman to anyone and everyone who needs an Orthopedic Surgeon. Michele D.

I saw 2 orthopedic surgeons before I met with Dr Wiseman. All I can say is that it must have been divine intervention to lead me to Dr Wiseman. He did a total righ knee replacement. Sure, it was not fun but I could not have had a better surgeon. Everything was perfect all around. The prep, the hospital choice, the aftercare. It's been a year and a half. My knee is like new and I'm 79. It takes awhile and you have to do your part. Dr Wiseman replaced a knee on one friend and a shoulder on another. They would parrot me. Thank you God for Dr Wiseman.

I had worn down the cartilage in both my knees and I needed to have both knees replaced. It was painful and difficult to walk. Most people have one knee done at a time, but I was a good candidate to get them both replaced at one time. Dr Wiseman and his PA, Kali prepped me for this difficult surgery (and recovery) and then took great care of me during and after. Dr. Wiseman came to my hospital room for 3 days following the surgery to check up on me. Kali then did the follow-up. The surgery was flawless and I am still getting used to my new knees, 6 weeks post surgery. I am up and walking and moving along. I can tell I will be happy with the result after a few more months. The staff at Golden State Orthopedics was great in helping me schedule the surgery (difficult to do because of COVID) and handle all the pre-op appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Wiseman and Golden State Orthopedics.

Dr. Wiseman has been my grandmother's doctor for years, helping her manage her arthritis. He has always been incredibly kind and attentive towards her very unique needs and has been great with coming up with different solutions to help her manage her pain and mobility issues. Highly recommend him and his facility.

I sustained an injury to a tendon in the knee area after an rather intense bike ride, followed by a bad stumble out of a shower. I thought for certain that I had torn or permanently inured something. I was in Muir Orthopedics the next day for an afternoon appointment with Dr. Wiseman. I had a lot of questions to ask him, and he took the time to answer all of them, reviewing my X-rays as we discussed them. I am sure that some of my questions might have seemed simple or sophomoric, but he took the time to address all of them. It was reassuring to sense that I was "the" important patient in the room, and not one of a stream of "cattle" coming through the clinic. He may take some time finally getting into your room to discuss your issue, but I can only imagine that this is because he treats each of his patients the same way, giving them all the time they need to address their issues. An excellent physician; I recommend him highly (and, by the way, he did remedy the problem with the tendon near my knee).

Dr. Wiseman did an excellent job on both shoulders. Not only did he ensure optimal medical care, he listened to my concerns while offered best advice.

Dr Wiseman and his PA Koziol were attentive, polite, knowledgeable in timely manner. Dr Wiseman send me for MRI right after the 1st visit to make sure there was nothing majorly wrong , discussed treatment and PA Koziol administered that planned treatment.

My mom needed a Total Knee Replacement surgery and I was looking for the best surgeon in Muir Orthopaedics. My only option was to read online reviews to decide between the surgeons. Unfortunately there was not many reviews. I rarely write reviews, but would really suggest Dr. Wiseman to anyone who is considering a Total Knee Replacement. He is very nice and knowledgeable. His staff were so nice and supportive. Whole process was very smooth. We are so happy with our choice and the results. We highly recommend Dr. Wiseman.

Dr Wiseman is an awesome physician.  My husband has been navigating the insurance process to have his knee replaced and Muir Orthopedics has been instrumental in this process.  In particularly Dr Wiseman, who has assisted us in every step of the way despite the fact he was not originally scheduled to preform the surgery.  Dr Wiseman has been my husband's Orthopaedic doctor for over 8 years and has consistently provided him with excellent care. I am extremely excited that he will now be doing the knee surgery.  He has explained everything completely.  He is very understanding and answers all of your questions. I highly recommend Dr Wiseman.
