I recieved a consultation and cortisone shot for my severe arthritis hip. I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain things to me which many Doctors don't do a good job at. I have hadb2 injections previously by 2 other Doctors, the first one hurt but was tolerable however the second one was excruciating, I literally screamed and couldn't move for about 15 mins. Because of those bad experiences I was terrified to repeat the procedure so I kept putting it off even though I was in pain constantly. My primary care Dr. referred me to Dr. Badar for another shot and when arriving to my appointment I was so scared I was shaking. Dr. Badar had an assistant and I just layer there closing my eyes and clenching my teeth waiting for the pain but it never came! I was all done and really didn't feel a thing! so this is why I would recommend him to others.

I’ve had two surgeries with Golden State Ortho. The first was a total shoulder replacement with Dr. Nathaniel Cohen. It went really well and I’m pain free with good mobility.
I’ve just had a total ankle replacement done by Dr. Paul Kim. It went well and I’m still recovering.
Both surgeons have great bedside manner. They are easy to reach with questions, good communication skills, and empathy.
I highly recommend this group.

I'm from out of state and staying along the River Delta, unfortunately while at a dog park my pup ran into me causing a broken ankle. Didn't know where to go, so ended up at Urgent Care in Lodi, they did fine, but recommended an Ortho doc next to them...soonest they could see me was 3 weeks after the accident. So I googled and found Golden State near me...thank goodness! First thing your doc said was they gave me the wrong boot, then he showed me my X-rays (they didn't do that) and told me it was a minor break in the Ortho world but a big inconvenience to me. That's all I needed to know. I left there with the correct boot and instructions on how to care for my ankle so it heals properly. Thank You!

Totally recommend, Dr. Murray adjust his busy schedule to take my husband for after ER follow up, examined his injured knee with paying attention to the details, and ordered additional tests. Plus his sense of humour relieves tension which many of us have in the doctor’s office. We felt taken care of.

Dr Heywood has done two major surgeries on me. One a knee repair. And the second a total wrist rebuild including a plate. Both were successful and the results exactly as he described beforehand. The wrist has been especially wonderful. It works as good as new. The wrist has been in constant use for about five years now. My hobby is antique autos so it has gotten a descent workout occasionally.
I am still using Dr Heywood’s services. He is monitoring several other joints and treating them with injections as I am currently not a good candidate for joint replacement due to other health issues.

I highly recommend Golden State Ortho & Spine. In early 2022, I had a total knee replacement (right knee) that turned out exceedingly well. Since then the doctor who did the operation went to a different hospital. Dr. Craig Wiseman was highly recommended as a replacement doctor and I had my initial meeting with him. He was clear, concise and understanding. As a patient, I needed direction and guidance as I was potentially facing another knee replacement. He gave me that direction and guidance. I have the utmost confidence in him. — Leon John Zielinski

He is not just pushing surgery on my thumb BUT giving me options. He has already repaired my wrist when I fell over my dog bed outside and did a fantastic job.

Working with someone like Mr. Killian Bayer is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me on a weekly basis. I invested my first $1,000 into bitcoin and Mr. KILLIAN helped me manage my account to success making $10,500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined after much loss in the past. God walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a HUGE plus!
Mr. KILLIAN made the entire process so easy and hassle-free! I’m very impressed! I will definitely be referring he to you all.

I was recommended to Dr. Abidi by many of my friends who spoke very highly of him. After seeing him, I now know what they were talking about. He’s very direct and tells it like it is but does it with a great confidence. I have ankle issues. What impressed me was that he said that I wasn’t ready for surgery yet, but possibly sometime down the road. Stoked!👍

The PA’s and other office staff are equally kind and attentive.

I have been treated by Dr. Abidi for many years, primarily for torn achilles tendons. He performed a surgical repair on one of my achilles tendons. In a nutshell he’s very experienced, smart and a talented surgeon as well as kind and patient. He’s willing to look at the whole patient, not just the body part he’s treating, which I appreciate. I heartily recommend him. I have found the office staff and the other practitioners, medical and physician assistants, to be top notch as well.

I fell and tore up my knee. ER said likely a sprain and give it a few weeks. I was convinced it was worse and tried to find ortho. All said no appointments for weeks. Golden state said we can get u to a PA in walnut creek tomorrow. She was on it and said pretty sure it’s torn. Got MRI a day or so later and appt with Charles Preston MD just days later. Doc Preston said u need surgery it’s torn. We will do it tomorrow. Next day I had surgery. Had first post op with PA Davis 1 week later who was reassuring and really helped with pain and function . I’m back at work after 1 month. Long way to go but I’m grateful to everyone at Golden State their diligence and skill in getting me to this point as efficiently as they have. If I had not found them, I’d still be waiting for my first appointment.

Dr Mensch & his team are absolutely stellar!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have been seeing him & his PA Zac Claunch for two years for my carpal tunnel syndrome & tendinitis. And now after breaking my wrist the other day, it seems I will be a frequent flier at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine for even longer.
Dr Mensch is a doc who goes above & beyond in his kindness, expertise in ortho & down to earth approach. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients & genuinely wants to help us regain functioning & reduce pain so that we can live our fullest lives. He has a keen sense of humor & knows that as an artist, my hand functioning is very important to me — He has made every effort to help reduce my pain so that I am able to do the things I am passionate about. I am so grateful for his ability to make me feel comfortable & cared for in a medical setting. He is reassuring & supportive in my recovery with my now broken wrist on my right (dominant) hand — which is super painful.
Zac, his PA-C, is super kind & compassionate as well. I feel his genuine care that my conditions improve & appreciate his humor in our visits. Zac is very knowledgable in this field too & provides excellent follow-ups for my ongoing pain in my wrists.
Thank you Dr Mensch & Zac! 5 star medical care dream team

I’ve been in the Santa Cruz area for over 15 years as a home healthcare, nurse, RN, and have found Dr. Abidi, to be one of the finest clinicians and surgeons that I have seen in my over 40 years of practice. He’s done multiple procedures on joints of mine and I find him to be a superb surgeon. Feedback is excellent and I do not ever find him in any kind of hurry to perform surgery. If it’s not warranted. Before a right hip replacement, he supported my efforts to try to rehab my way out of the need for surgery. Worked with me for six months until it became obvious that a total hip was the only way.
Staff was excellent. Had me signed in expeditiously, and the wait was reasonable in the waiting room. Got checked into the room quickly and prepped to see the surgeon as well as a set of x-rays to facilitate clarifying the diagnosis.

I reached my first step of 25lb due to good advice given. Now my next goal has been given. Still getting ready for total knee replacement on both knees.
Thank you for advice and encouragement.

Very nice clean , professional office. They have all the equipment needed in their office, for any tests. All specific orthopedic doctors for your injury treatments or surgeons, if surgery needed. I ended up with a foot injury, saw Dr. Paul Kim, 2 times in one month, highly recommend him for any podiatry needs. Very thorough, polite as well as educated, explained about my injury. Their staff , front and back office, have been very nice and accommodating with your needs. My husband has seen a few doctors, different specialties, surgeries, knee, shoulder and now his hip. All his previous records in the same building, office which is very convenient. x-rays, MRi's, injections all treatments all done in the same building without having to leave the building. I highly recommend this place not only for convenience but for their great staff and their specialty doctors and surgeons. ***** 5 stars.

I was tired of losing all by myself so I decided to find an expert broker who can help me manage my trading account. I got some recommendation about Mrs. Patience Adamson who finally assisted me in earning at about $17,650 worth of bitcoin with just $1800 investment. Mrs. Patience is indeed the best account manager around and her trading skills are top-notch. Instead of going for a loan, I decided to invest on Bitcoin with Mrs. Patience. It will be bad to keep this to myself when I know others can benefit too. Contact Mrs. Patience for help via

I have been a patient here for the past 9 years. Two total knees (Dr Reynolds). Back pain. Now back surgery by Dr Chelsea Hendow 4 months ago. Always professional and helpful! Seldom wait time is more than 10 minutes. Back surgery took a while to schedule due to ancillary offices too busy to see STAT. Not Golden State Ortho's fault. Surgery was successful, follow-up has been great.

My clinical care with Dr. Tischenko has been consistently excellent. While the administrative support is generally good, the occasional glitches — Rxs sent to the wrong pharmacy, appointments rescheduled by Muir — have been time-consuming to resolve because calls go right to a long queue or auto return calling, which puts the call at THEIR convenience rather than the patient’s. When that’s fixed, I’ll be happy to give a 5-star rating!

I had a total hip replacement in May 2021.
Dr. Wendy Wong was my surgeon. What she did for me is something “ Thank You” is not enough. The surgery went perfect. Her staff was better than imagined. Totally professional and caring. I felt so well taken care of. I was able to recover just using Tylenol, every 6 hours. Used 1/2 an Oxy, first night, but didn’t need it after that. I just followed my recovery instructions, which were concise and easy to follow.
I am now 9 weeks post surgery. My body feels like new. My pain level is non-existent. I’m driving and doing all normal things. I highly recommend Dr. Wong and her wonderful staff for any Orthopedic needs.

Over the years I have had so many great experiences with MOS. Dr Don Lewis for hand and tendon surgery. He also follows my wrist problems. Dr Toma did an anterior hip replacement, Dr Norlach is my go to Dr for non- surgical treatments on lumbar herniated discs with injections. I am always impressed with their efficient offices and surgical staff and the Drs are the best!

Relaxed friendly staff. Starting with when I was greeted at the door everyone I came to the office, where my Temperature was taken and supplied with directions as to where to check-in.
The check-in has always been low stress and I’ve never had to wait for more than a few minutes before I’ve been called back for my appointment.
I really appreciative how efficiently your office is managed,
My only issues have to do with procedures that I’m be sure are directly related to the difficulties of safely supplying face-to-face care during the pandemic, and may not be fixable in the near future.
Firstly:
The 45+ minute wait whenever I call the office is just not up to your otherwise impeccable standards.
This needs to be pushed to the top of your ‘Get It Fixed Now!’ Task list!
You supply top notch medical care, but this is a deal breaker. I have already told two close friends to look elsewhere for treatment,
Based on your not fixing this critical problem.
I would suggest;
•Hire staff, temps if need be, and assign an admin team with carte Blanche to purchase equipment, computers, training, whatever it takes.
And fix this quickly.
Make the timeline be ideally, to have every patient to have their call picked up by a flesh and blood operator by the 4th ring. NEVER send them to voice mail.
Your ‘Leave a number and we’ll call you back in the order your call was received’ is not working.
People in pain, sick people call when they need help... NOW!
They probably can’t get to the phone and answer your call before it goes to voice mail.
And use text messages whenever possible.
Liberal use of informal FaceTime and other video calls that pull in the caregivers family members would help.
I only saw my surgeon Dr Preston at the initial consult and when he walked in as I was being prepped for surgery.
I was surprised that he didn’t even drop in on the pre-op appointment.
Was that the way it worked here even before Covid?
My foot surgeon in Rhode Island (I had 6+ surgeries with Him) was always available for a consult, and he always performed every pre-op and post-op appointment.
Actually, after his nurse did the prep work for every appointment, he personally managed every appointment unless he was supervising a new doctor or Physicians Assistant from Brown University Medical School.
If needed, he would have me go out fir imaging and then return to the office the same day and together we would review the images.
He had a dual screen display so that the patient could clearly see all the imaging as he went over it.
This made it easy for me to use my iPhone to take photos of images at every appointment with him.
Thus I have a dated personal record annotated with video notes from him.
Very awful when I had the infections.
He took pride in his work, and wanted to see first hand how I was doing.
He also called me at home at least once within 24 hours after surgery to check on how I was doing.
I felt I was part of the team.
With covid, the only way to even approach these levels of communication is with the liberal use of the phone and FaceTime and other video chat tech
Also before and after surgery, the patient Needs to be have there care giver, family member, Someone there with them to listen to what’s said by the doc before and after the procedure
If they can’t be there physically, then FaceTime can fill the gaps.
My partner is very knowledgeable, and we could have set up the tech
As it was, I had no memory of what was said to me after the surgery, and the mass of paper instructions were of little use
The sling was an absolute nightmare once it came out of adjustment and the PT didn’t arrive until the middle of the week.
Again some help from the doc or others via FaceTime would have helped a lot during the initial few days.
There were no resources available over the weekend and as surgery was Thursday that was an issue
Oh, BTW, thank you Dr. Preston for remembering to arrange for the home health services (PT & the Home Health Aide)

Dr. Calafi did a great job at putting Humpty Dumpty back together. He explained the procedure that he was going to do & answered all of my questions/concerns. He was instrumental in orchestrating the transfer of care from Santa Cruz ER back to John Muir ER in order to proceed with my surgery the following morning. I wouldn’t recommend having a traumatic incident occur to anyone but I would definitely recommend Dr. Calafi & Muir Orthopedic Specialists. Terrific staff & facility.

I have had screws put in my feet, both knees replaced, right hip replaced, right thumb reattached to hand. Also given help with my broken back due to osteoporosis and scoliosis which can’t have surgery due to spinal cord being twisted and compressed in the compressions, breaks and twist from scoliosis. I can’t have surgery saw 5 surgeons, then sent to top surgeon neurologist at JMH Walnut Creek and shown on my imaging that needing a rod or two to fix my back would cause damage to my spinal cord and a great possibility of never walking again. So they keep my pain under control with PT, building up lumbar strength and medical. I see many doctors due to RA, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, scoliosis, nerve damage, AFIB, neuropathy, just to name a few. I still need left thumb reattached to hand, left shoulder full replacement and PT when needed for nerve damage and much more. I can’t give enough credit to Muir Orthopedic Specialists for their great surgeons and doctors, I came close to death a few times from other health issues and was blessed with all the care provided. I am living proof that I still am alive, walking with cane, getting help for whatever is needed and surgeons/doctors working together to let me keep going in this life. I am not totally pain free, but it’s manageable and I still enjoy life.

Dr. Miranda is another great orthopedic surgeon if you are having problems with your knees.
Dr Crow is another good surgeon. Very caring.
If you need someone who can help you with back care, I recommend Dr Chang. He knows his stuff.

I wanted to follow up on my right hip replacement surgery performed a few months back, by saying THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to
Dr. Wendy Wong of Muir Orthopedic Specialists. When we met she provided all options offering the pros and cons of each potential treatment option. Through out the lead up to surgery Wendy made sure all my concerns and questions were addressed. I have led an amazing life and with that I’ve put some miles on this body and also suffered several significant injuries. Wendy and her staff made me feel like family with the care and genuine concern that you receive from those who care. The over and above efforts by herself and her staff has amazed me thru this whole process. I truly can’t thank them enough for all the Large and Small, seemingly insignificant things that made the world of difference to me and my recovery. I recommend Wendy and this group of professionals with highest confidence and know you’ll receive world class treatment as well. Their not just professionals, they are caring and compassionate human beings that set the example for their industry. Thanks again Dr. Wong your amazing!

I have several physicians at Muir Orthopaedic Specialists and truly feel that I get excellent professional information and care from each physician that I see.
Recently I scheduled an appointment with a new doctor, Dr Tyler Clark for unbearable pain in my left thumb. He analyzed and evaluated my condition, sent me for X-ray to rule out any breaks & recommended a thumb brace and if that didn’t take care of it, an option of a shot. I returned weeks later, opted for the shot. Later I remembered Dr Joseph Narloch did a nerve conduction test quite a few years back which showed carpal tunnel more in my right than my left hand. Dr Clark thought probably that it was arthritis or perhaps the “CT” acting up since I’m handling a 93 yr old, the wheelchair and a husband with recent back surgery. He then recommended braces to sleep with on my hands. This remedied my pain issue completely. My follow up appointment remained as pain free! He has a delightful manner about him and I find it very easy to discuss your medical issue with him. I am confident in his care and highly recommend Dr Clark should you find the need for his excellent services.

Dr. Wendy Wong replaced my two knees. The surgery was very successful on both knees. I went home the next day from the hospital and did everything I was suppose to do for my healing process. I healed very fast and did not need to take much pain medication. She has a very sweet personality and I felt very comfortable with her. Three weeks after my second knee replacement, I fell and broke my knee cap(it was a bad fall). Dr. Wong saw me right away and made arrangements to operate within the week. I did not damage the knee replacement. She fixed my knee cap and I am now out of the brace which I had to wear for a little more than two months and I can bend my knee almost 100 degrees. I think she is amazing. She really knows what she is doing.

I highly recommend using Dr. Louay Toma if you are considering a hip replacement. I delayed and procrastinated getting my left hip replaced and did talk to several Specialists through the years. I finally made the decision to get it replaced and while a complicated surgery, Dr. Toma and his team made the whole process and procedure thorough and everything worked out extremely well. I was thrilled. Two years later following retirement and a move to another state, when it was clear that I needed the second hip replaced, I returned to California Bay Area in 2019 to have Dr. Toma perform the surgery. Everything went great and recovery was even faster and easier than the first replacement. Dr. Toma is an excellent doctor and surgeon that performs the anterior hip replacement surgery brilliantly, is very thorough, very personable and the staff is helpful and organized. Thank you so much, Doctor!

I am grateful for their professionalism during a difficult time in my life. I did have some difficulty with getting through to the medical office last month but I think it was the new phone system. Otherwise, I feel taken care of and respected.

Exceptional care from Dr. Moorthy and his assistant Michael. Several visits and a MRI resulted in surgery. Surgery was scheduled at Sequoia Surgical Pavilion. Experience was very impressive. Both Dr. Moorthy and Michael explained every little detail, answered all of my questions and eased every concern before and on the day of surgery. Dr. Moorthy spoke with my husband after surgery and Michael called me after surgery to check on me. I'm very satisfied and delighted with the care I received. Thank you so very much. �

May I suggest if you have to go for a foot specialist you run dont walk to Dr. Sam Kou! I wanted a more local doctor but a friend told me if you want the best you have to make the trip. So glad i did. Dr Kou is friendly, knowlegdable and comforting. The front desk staff is welcoming and wonderful. Thanks MOS.

I've been a patient with MOS for a very long time, as a result of a work injury. All of the doctors and staff at this facility are excellent in what capacity they are in, and I've never found a better group of doctors anywhere! Any time I hear of someone needing orthopedic services, I always refer them to MOS. I have been going there for so many years, I feel I need a plaque on the wall.

Unfortunately, we have been to MOS for many, many years; starting back in 2001 when my hubby had his hip replaced at a mere 39 y/o. Since then myself and all 4 of my children have used MOS and had fantastic results: 3 torn acl's, ankle surgery, toe surgery, broken arms, calf surgery, broken tailbone, percutanous tenectomy & PRP + lots of physical therapy! Cannot say enough good things about this group!

The John Muir slogan of BE HEARD applies to me. Kaiser denied me a hip replacement for a full year, which stole my quality of life. The moment I was able to see Dr. Toma he understood and HEARD what had happened to me and was ready to give me the full hip replacement that I needed. They saved my life. I am not whistling dixie here...they saved me. I am a young lady that had become nearly bound to my home....I will never forget this MOS.

10/31/16 my 15 year old son fell down, broke his arm and a trip to Urgent Care referred to an ortho, so as I had my 2 week check up, he was getting a cast with Dr. Tischenko (spelling sorry) Why would you go to any other ortho????

Dr. Wendy Wong has been an extraordinary blessing for my orthopedic surgical needs. From the initial consultation to completion of the recovery process Dr. Wong demonstrated so many times her great surgical skills combined with her extensive knowledge of medicine. Dr. Wong, working closely with her medical assistant Angela J., was able to replace my right hip with a minimum of stress and pain. I was alleviated excruciating pain that was becoming crippling. I am now highly ambulatory because of Dr. Wong’s surgical abilities. I would recommend Dr. Wong to anyone in need of orthopedic surgery, especially my loved ones.

Love my Dr's there!
I recieved a consultation and cortisone shot for my severe arthritis hip. I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain things to me which many Doctors don't do a good job at. I have hadb2 injections previously by 2 other Doctors, the first one hurt but was tolerable however the second one was excruciating, I literally screamed and couldn't move for about 15 mins. Because of those bad experiences I was terrified to repeat the procedure so I kept putting it off even though I was in pain constantly. My primary care Dr. referred me to Dr. Badar for another shot and when arriving to my appointment I was so scared I was shaking. Dr. Badar had an assistant and I just layer there closing my eyes and clenching my teeth waiting for the pain but it never came! I was all done and really didn't feel a thing! so this is why I would recommend him to others.
Super professional, very personable. I always feel welcome. I would highly recommend!
I’ve had two surgeries with Golden State Ortho. The first was a total shoulder replacement with Dr. Nathaniel Cohen. It went really well and I’m pain free with good mobility. I’ve just had a total ankle replacement done by Dr. Paul Kim. It went well and I’m still recovering. Both surgeons have great bedside manner. They are easy to reach with questions, good communication skills, and empathy. I highly recommend this group.
La atención del personal es muy buena y el Dr. Heyword excelente.
Dr. Abidi and Dr. Raymond Are very excellent intelligent individuals Who go out of their way to help others.
Meets all my needs! Terrific doctor
Everything was great.
The staff from the front desk, nurses, X-ray tech, and Dr. Abidi are First Class care!!!
Dr. Heywood is an outstanding medical professional. He is very thorough and cares about each individual patient by providing compassion and taking time with each patient he sees.
Dr Michlitich was great. Explained my MRI so I could understand it!
Doctor Hendo listens well, gives quality information, and she is very understanding of a patient's needs. I would recommend her to anyone.
I recommend Dr Ochoa of walnutcreek if you’re looking for a spine specialist. He made sure I get the test imaging needed and explain what is causing my back pain and my treatment options. Will be seeing him again for my follow up.
I trust this facility, and they are efficient and provide excellent patient care.
Professional and excellent patient care. They are located out of my area, but I don’t mind the drive because of the quality and continuity of care I get every time.
Very professional and skillful. I loved it when he distracted my attention by making me talk about my job then all I know the procedure was done. Thanks.
It was great They always do a great job!!
Dr. Kim was not only a fantastic surgeon, but has the best bedside manner! He explained in detail what I was to expect from my surgery and it went very well. I am recovering well and he always takes time to show me my progress. Very personable doctor.!
Friendly manner, knowledgeable of my history and answered all my questions.
Dr. Abidi is quick and efficient and extremely skilled in what he does. He also provides great explanations and is extremely responsive. His support staff make the whole process of care as smooth as possible - thank you!
Dr. Mensch has treated my wrists. Two different falls. The first fall resulted in two surgeries. He did the second one. Wow what a difference. The X-rays showed a precise repair. His assistants are kind and helpful. The surgery center is updated.
Excellent care!!!
Doc was extremely professional, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care about me and my personal situation. Extremely knowledgeable and efficient. I strongly recommend him.
Dr Abidi is an outstanding orthopedist and I recommend everyone to him. His staff is also excellent.
I'm from out of state and staying along the River Delta, unfortunately while at a dog park my pup ran into me causing a broken ankle. Didn't know where to go, so ended up at Urgent Care in Lodi, they did fine, but recommended an Ortho doc next to them...soonest they could see me was 3 weeks after the accident. So I googled and found Golden State near me...thank goodness! First thing your doc said was they gave me the wrong boot, then he showed me my X-rays (they didn't do that) and told me it was a minor break in the Ortho world but a big inconvenience to me. That's all I needed to know. I left there with the correct boot and instructions on how to care for my ankle so it heals properly. Thank You!
I have been a patient of Dr Heywood's for over five years. My hip replacement surgery has completely transformed my life. ALL for the better. Capitola office staff are extremely supportive and professional.
Doctor and staff were kind ,caring and a pleasure to work with. Dr. Mensch was receptive to my concerns and is very knowledgeable and highly skilled at his craft. I definitely highly recommend to seek out this Doctor for treatment. Petra - October 08, 2024
I came to see Dr John Theodor Schwartz with extreme pain in my shoulder. He was very professional and suspected right away the problem. He sent me to MRI to confirm the diagnosis. He was right.
Totally recommend, Dr. Murray adjust his busy schedule to take my husband for after ER follow up, examined his injured knee with paying attention to the details, and ordered additional tests. Plus his sense of humour relieves tension which many of us have in the doctor’s office. We felt taken care of.
The preop appointment was very informative and the nurse was fabulous I feel more ready for my surgery now
👍
I was so comfortable with Dr. H from the moment I met him. I have been to many Ortho doctors in the past and for the 1st time, I have completely felt that I could trust his advice. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Five stars from me and I wholly recommend anyone who has an orthopedic issue to see Dr. Heywood .
I went to see Dr.Michael Chang and I was satisfied.He was friendly.Yes I will recommend him to anybody.He was very friendly and had smile on his face when he walked in to the room with his nurses.They are friendly too.Hopefully he could cure my back. Thank you Dr.Michael Chang!
Gracias por atenderme
The staff and doctors are great! Very kind and respectful. The customer service is great! Dr. Abidi has done some miracles, my knee is like new. I’m back to walking long distance, running and able to enjoy my active life.
I cannot really say enough good things to do justice to Dr. Qurashi and staff. He listens, understands the issue and comes up with solutions and they implement solutions in the most effective way.
Dr Gidvani and the staff are wonderful and I feel fortunate to have them as my provider.
I've heard nothing but good things about Dr. Abidi from several friends including friends in the medical field.
Always professional and personable.
Dr. Mensch and his team are fantastic! I highly recommend him for any hand/wrist issue that you may have.
I found every one very helpful and knowing what they were talking about. Every one was kind and pleasant.
Buen servicio
Dr Heywood has done two major surgeries on me. One a knee repair. And the second a total wrist rebuild including a plate. Both were successful and the results exactly as he described beforehand. The wrist has been especially wonderful. It works as good as new. The wrist has been in constant use for about five years now. My hobby is antique autos so it has gotten a descent workout occasionally. I am still using Dr Heywood’s services. He is monitoring several other joints and treating them with injections as I am currently not a good candidate for joint replacement due to other health issues.
Dr. Kim and his staff are top notch! Dr Kim is very welcoming and answers all questions. He has a great sense of humor and friendly. He is straight to the point in a great way. Never did I think , I would be excited for a surgery; but I know that I’m going to be in great hands! Highly recommend this Dr and his wonderful staff!!!
Dr Mench and his staff are wonderful! They are always show kindness and take their time with you explaining things. ❤️
Dr. Griffiths is an amazing physician! He's compassionate, kind, thorough and has incredible bedside manners! Oh, and very gentle with cortisone injections!
I was happy with my experience got my questions answered
very caring
GSO was easy to work with quick with appointments. Dr. Pitcher was easy to talk with and understand as well as knowledgeable and helpful. i certainly recommed GSO
Easy to make an appointment. Treatment plan discussed and agreed upon.

Dr. Hendow is amazing! She took care of my issues and pain with ease and professionalism. I am forever grateful to her and her team.
I highly recommend Golden State Ortho & Spine. In early 2022, I had a total knee replacement (right knee) that turned out exceedingly well. Since then the doctor who did the operation went to a different hospital. Dr. Craig Wiseman was highly recommended as a replacement doctor and I had my initial meeting with him. He was clear, concise and understanding. As a patient, I needed direction and guidance as I was potentially facing another knee replacement. He gave me that direction and guidance. I have the utmost confidence in him. — Leon John Zielinski
I am so happy with Dr. Semon Bader. He gave me hope that my shoulders will soon be like new. And thank you for my physical therapists Gail Long and Scott Turtle for helping me in my shoulder recovery . I thank them for there support. And thank you Peggy the receptionist for your smile every morning I am there.
Good communication and care.
This group is very caring and professional!!! DR. HOU IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY CARING👌🏻☝🏻🙏 I recommend the entire team👍🏻👌🏻🙌🏻 They are excellent 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Dr Abidi and staff are always so informative and caring about my needs as a patient. I had a broken foot 10 years ago(surgery), I go in for periodic updates just to quell my concerns.. I have recommended him to others and will continue!
I like the way Dr Schilling listens to my concerns and answers my questions in terms I understand. He is not just pushing surgery on my thumb BUT giving me options. He has already repaired my wrist when I fell over my dog bed outside and did a fantastic job. It anyone needs a good ortho for your hand and/or wrists Dr Schilling is the one to see
Dr. Joseph A. Narloch is an excellent physician and has a very pleasant bedside manner. I highly recommend him.

The front desk staff were friendly. The Doctor was very thorough about my condition. Thank you.
Dr Weisman is a very business oriented specialist and very kind hearted and very helpful. He did my complete shoulder replacement. With very good results and I am trusting him to do my other shoulder and then I’ll be good to go. I love Dr Weisman if you need a shoulder, he is the man

Dr. Qureshi is my doctor. I must say that the entire staff is very courteous to me and everyone else I've seen while wait for my appointment. So far i see that they are very good at scheduling. I have not seen a back up yet. When I go there I leave with a clear understanding about my condition. He showed me the pictures and told me how the surgery would be done and why. I would recommend Golden State Ortho & Spine to everyone.
Working with someone like Mr. Killian Bayer is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me on a weekly basis.

I was recommended to Dr. Abidi by many of my friends who spoke very highly of him. After seeing him, I now know what they were talking about. He’s very direct and tells it like it is but does it with a great confidence. I have ankle issues. What impressed me was that he said that I wasn’t ready for surgery yet, but possibly sometime down the road. Stoked!👍
Great doctor, great results! He’s done my knees and ankle and I am more than pleased.
It was excellent service.
Dr Abidi is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. His bed side manner is fabulous as well. His professionalism is beyond reproach. I will refer anyone to him for their need. Thank you Gregg Dexter
Dr.Mensch is professional and thorough. He was gentle with my injured elbow and pushed for quick results. He offers several PT locations I could use and made sure I was being seen asap! He is also flexible where you may see him as he practices at several locations. He is light hearted and fun, which makes for a good visit. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs his highly regarded orthopedic services.
Dr Mensch is an excellent surgeon. He did great work repairing my hand and my wife's wrist. He is open and willing to discuss the details injuries, the surgery and questions.
everything in time and they take care of their patients.
This lovely doctor was very knowledgeable about my condition and shared the pros and cons of the treatments available. She shared pictures of my X-ray so I could understand the condition and explained my physical limits in depth. Very satisfied.
I’ve had 4 significant surgeries by Dr Abidi, I have total faith in his advice and work. I’m waiting to get a total knee replacement in the next few months, not that I like surgery but I need it and he’s the man. I’d recommend him highly. He’s businesslike, professional and to the point. His knowledge and skill are impressive.
Dr. Bradley has a very professional and friendly staff. He is very thorough and takes time to explain what is going on with your condition. I would recommend Dr. Bradley to anyone.
My experience working with all the staff including my surgeon at Golden State orthopedic and spine has been excellent. I recommend you have your Orthopedic procedures, john here. Overall nine out of 10 in terms of appointment and surgical Procedures.
Dr Abidi, is a very great doctor, had 5 surgery with him, and continues to recommended him to all coworkers and friends and family
dr Heywood is very helpful so I can understand everything. His staff are extremely friendly and kind
the Doctor and staff treated me as an individual and listened intently to what I had to say and paid attention to my feelings. took the time to fully do exam I needed and didn't try to rush
Dr. Abidi’s surgery expertise is second to none. He absolutely knows what he’s doing. Very professional.
For many years and a few surgeries, my husband’s orthopedic doctor was Dr. Abidi. When I twisted my ankle recently that is who I called. I trust Dr. Abidi to be straight forward and professional. He is so personable, relating with kindness and compassion. My years of experience taking my husband to be seen by him and observing first hand, I know him to be a very competent specialist. The PA’s and other office staff are equally kind and attentive.
Dr. Abidi is great. I always have full confidence in his assessments. He’s very knowledgeable and explains thoroughly to his patients.
I have been treated by Dr. Abidi for many years, primarily for torn achilles tendons. He performed a surgical repair on one of my achilles tendons. In a nutshell he’s very experienced, smart and a talented surgeon as well as kind and patient. He’s willing to look at the whole patient, not just the body part he’s treating, which I appreciate. I heartily recommend him. I have found the office staff and the other practitioners, medical and physician assistants, to be top notch as well.
I fell and tore up my knee. ER said likely a sprain and give it a few weeks. I was convinced it was worse and tried to find ortho. All said no appointments for weeks. Golden state said we can get u to a PA in walnut creek tomorrow. She was on it and said pretty sure it’s torn. Got MRI a day or so later and appt with Charles Preston MD just days later. Doc Preston said u need surgery it’s torn. We will do it tomorrow. Next day I had surgery. Had first post op with PA Davis 1 week later who was reassuring and really helped with pain and function . I’m back at work after 1 month. Long way to go but I’m grateful to everyone at Golden State their diligence and skill in getting me to this point as efficiently as they have. If I had not found them, I’d still be waiting for my first appointment.
excellent physician (Christian Heywood); clear communicator; authentic; professional staff;
My experience was extremely professional and pleasant. After my ER visit with a broken leg on Friday 3/17/24,Dr Heywood and his team were able to get me in for a post op on Monday 3/19/24 and surgery all lined up and ready to go the next day at Dominican Hospital. Everything went very well and I am on my why to recovery!!
El mejor equipo médico y el doctor Christian Heywood muy buen doctor recomendable a toda la gente que tenga problemas con los brazos
Dr Mensch & his team are absolutely stellar!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have been seeing him & his PA Zac Claunch for two years for my carpal tunnel syndrome & tendinitis. And now after breaking my wrist the other day, it seems I will be a frequent flier at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine for even longer. Dr Mensch is a doc who goes above & beyond in his kindness, expertise in ortho & down to earth approach. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients & genuinely wants to help us regain functioning & reduce pain so that we can live our fullest lives. He has a keen sense of humor & knows that as an artist, my hand functioning is very important to me — He has made every effort to help reduce my pain so that I am able to do the things I am passionate about. I am so grateful for his ability to make me feel comfortable & cared for in a medical setting. He is reassuring & supportive in my recovery with my now broken wrist on my right (dominant) hand — which is super painful. Zac, his PA-C, is super kind & compassionate as well. I feel his genuine care that my conditions improve & appreciate his humor in our visits. Zac is very knowledgable in this field too & provides excellent follow-ups for my ongoing pain in my wrists. Thank you Dr Mensch & Zac! 5 star medical care dream team (I included a picture of the cast which was done really well there as well by one of Mensch’s MA’s)
I wish there were after visit notes that I could review. It’s a lot of information that is difficult to retain so quickly.
Ps la berdad si me atendieron bien
Dr. Heywood is great! He spends plenty of time with you and explains everything very thoroughly.
Dr Haywood gave me 3 options for my arthritic knee pain explaining pt Rod and cons of each. Very professional and straight forward. I am getting a knee replacement. Originally went there because of recommendations of 2 friends who went there and had great results.
I highly recommend Dr. Michael Michlitsch. He replaced my right shoulder and did an excellent job. My post op went extremely well and my incision is pencil thin. He’s a rockstar!

Good listener and was interested in my concerns and questions
I love you Dr Hey wood. I u always get a 5 star rating from me, but I don’t do any social media stuff. I ALWAYS recommend you when I talk about my hip(s) replacement lol TY for everything Deborah Also please thank Kay for me😊
I’ve been in the Santa Cruz area for over 15 years as a home healthcare, nurse, RN, and have found Dr. Abidi, to be one of the finest clinicians and surgeons that I have seen in my over 40 years of practice. He’s done multiple procedures on joints of mine and I find him to be a superb surgeon. Feedback is excellent and I do not ever find him in any kind of hurry to perform surgery. If it’s not warranted. Before a right hip replacement, he supported my efforts to try to rehab my way out of the need for surgery. Worked with me for six months until it became obvious that a total hip was the only way. Staff was excellent. Had me signed in expeditiously, and the wait was reasonable in the waiting room. Got checked into the room quickly and prepped to see the surgeon as well as a set of x-rays to facilitate clarifying the diagnosis.
I reached my first step of 25lb due to good advice given. Now my next goal has been given. Still getting ready for total knee replacement on both knees. Thank you for advice and encouragement.
We had a visit there because of my son’s broken arm. Christian Heywood was our doctor. Really good professional and a cool guy! My recommendations!
Amazing informative appointment with Dr. Mensch. He was very thorough. I highly recommend him and all the great staff at Golden State Ortho!
Very nice clean , professional office. They have all the equipment needed in their office, for any tests. All specific orthopedic doctors for your injury treatments or surgeons, if surgery needed. I ended up with a foot injury, saw Dr. Paul Kim, 2 times in one month, highly recommend him for any podiatry needs. Very thorough, polite as well as educated, explained about my injury. Their staff , front and back office, have been very nice and accommodating with your needs. My husband has seen a few doctors, different specialties, surgeries, knee, shoulder and now his hip. All his previous records in the same building, office which is very convenient. x-rays, MRi's, injections all treatments all done in the same building without having to leave the building. I highly recommend this place not only for convenience but for their great staff and their specialty doctors and surgeons. ***** 5 stars.
Dr. Heywood is fantastic I highly recommend 😎
He’s very very proficient doctor I really like him. I think he’s the best doctor that I’ve ever had.
Dr. Mensch was very thorough and took the time to answer all my questions.
Referred by colleague for hip replacement. Staff welcomed and check in was fast and easy. Helpful to check in online prior to visit. Have all medical cards and ID available Had Xrays onsite and reviewed immediately. Dr Abidi, explained my issue and coarse of action clearly. I will have to have a hip replacement and prepare medical clearances. Nervous and looking forward to walking without pain. Praying for great outcome! I recommend this office and team very professional and respectful. Arrive early to allow time for parking.
Dr Abidy I want to Thank you for accepting me and scheduling the appointment for surgery next Friday. It took me a month to be able to see you and I am thankful for that.
Great doctors. Kind and patient staff.
Very informative, love how doctor Tina explained everything, going back for a mri this week, also had another set of X-rays. Rated 5/5
Great experience. The whole staff was always professional and willing to answer questions. Great experience.
Great
10/10
Dr. Mensch. Excellent service, clear explanation, diagnosis.Treatment provided right away.
Dr. Mensch was very clear and straightforward about my treatment options
Having been in healthcare, most of my adult life, I know Dr. Abidi to be an exceptional practitioner. He performed a knee replacement on me last year, and would return to him without question.
I have never been with a better Dr than Christian Haywood wood great dr and he did a great job on my surgery.
He was fantastic
None
Great Doctor, with great manors and extremely knowledgeable.
Terrific service very knowledgeable and understanding , thank you again , I will be back if I need too!!!!

This office has become a well oiled machine! They have become so efficient. And Dr Heywood is so kind and generous of spirit.
I really like Dr. Abidi , super smart and very nice.
Good experience
The Doctor was very nice & factual. I was unable to fill out the Survey it would not let me in the mode of Facebook.
Dr. Abidi was wonderful, I can't recommend him enough, and all the staff were great too! Thank you everyone!
Dr.Abidi is clearly highly experienced and estute. He identified an underlying issue that has plagued me for years that multiple podiatrists had missed. I would really recommend him.
I was tired of losing all by myself so I decided to find an expert broker who can help me manage my trading account. I got some recommendation about Mrs. Patience Adamson who finally assisted me in earning at about $17,650 worth of bitcoin with just $1800 investment. Mrs. Patience is indeed the best account manager around and her trading skills are top-notch. Instead of going for a loan, I decided to invest on Bitcoin with Mrs. Patience. It will be bad to keep this to myself when I know others can benefit too. Contact Mrs. Patience for help via Email: patienceadamson482@gmail.com WhatsApp: +1 (323) 628-6419.
Doctor Abidi is a true professional who keeps on top of his field dealing with orthopedic surgery. Including hips and knees. Is also very concerned about pain management for his patients. He is the best.
Dr Abidi accurately diagnosed my knee issue quickly. His treatment was timely and I am working out again with confidence.
Dr Ibidi and the entire office staff are the perfect combination of professional and friendly.
I know how Doctors run late for appointments. I believe 45 minutes is a long time to wait to be seen. Plus I arrived 15 minutes early( my fault) so I waited a full hour.
dr socco is a amazing surgeon and person he has done procedures on my wife and myself with excellent results I highly recommend him
Doctor George Tischenko has been my husband and my Doctor for several years. He is one of the best doctors very knowledgeable and caring. He is also very considerate with your needs
A well run office with everything they need including expertise, all of which makes for fast effective patient care. I was also pleased with how friendly the staff was.
Very professional and efficient.
problem with shoulder was satisfied with injection, thanks
I have been a patient here for the past 9 years. Two total knees (Dr Reynolds). Back pain. Now back surgery by Dr Chelsea Hendow 4 months ago. Always professional and helpful! Seldom wait time is more than 10 minutes. Back surgery took a while to schedule due to ancillary offices too busy to see STAT. Not Golden State Ortho's fault. Surgery was successful, follow-up has been great.

Dr. Heywood is great.
Dr. Toma is one of the very best doctors I have ever been privileged to know. He combines technical excellence with interst and respect for his patients. He takes all questions seriously and answers them directly, and is always available to his patients. He, and his team of staff member as well always made me feel I was in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Toma!
Dr Heywood provided excellent and successful leg reconstruction surgery two and a half years ago and continues to provide great service, support and advice when needed to this day. Highly recommend Dr Heywood
Did a rotator cuff surgery. A1 services. Definitely recommend!
Very professional
No frills, no fuss just straight to business. Very thorough and Answered all of my questions and helpful in discussing alternative treatment options.
I definitely recommend Golden State Ortho & Spine. Dr. Porter performed my knee surgery yesterday and all went well. I have been to both the Oakland & Dublin office and I have always had a good experience.
I have been with Dr. Schilling with my trigger fingers for years. He is always take time with me, explaining & answering questions. Dr. Shilling is the best hand Dr. I would recommend to everyone!!
Golden State Ortho has one of the best Doctor / Surgeon Dr. Moorthy. I had a total of 9 surgical procedures. We were at the point to amputate the foot, but Dr. Moorthy resourced what might save my foot. Thanks to Dr Moorthy He saved my foot and it's been 9 years with no problems. Thank you.
I appreciated Dr Schilling’s complete attention. I felt comfortable asking a lot of questions which he answered completely, helping me to understand what was going on with my hand. He took a conservative approach which I also appreciated! The office staff were also very helpful and I noticed they backed each other up to help process patients quickly.
Great visit!
Love Dr Mensch. Excellent surgeon and lovely demeanor. A calm and kind presence with cute sense of humor. I highly recommend him.
Had a great experience with Dr. Bader and his team. I was diagnosed with torn meniscus. Dr. Bader suggested a meniscus root repair and everything went great. I would highly recommend Dr. Bader and his team.
My experience with Golden State Orthopedics is fine. I liked John Muir better because it was easier to move through. But I have the highest regard if Dr. QUERSHI. He has taken care of my back problems very well.
Good professional service! Was an unusual plumbing problem. William stayed with the problem until It was fixed. Had a phone contact problem but worked in the end. Very happy with the results and people. Professional work!!
Very professional. Knows what he doing. I have complete confidence in him.
Dr. Schilling is very caring and explains the process thoroughly.
My wife, the Patient, Nelda Lewis with me will post our answers. We were happy with Dr's evaluation, with encouraging report. We are happy with his sending his "Doctor's Prescription to the Physical Therapy group ( Core Connections, in Scotts Valley.
Great service, thank you.

I am super happy 2 mo.s out ,virtually pain free and walking with the cane but almost without need of it now !! 2 mo’s Dr. Griffiths was super supportive on the level ,deep gratitude !!
Dr Haywood is the best Orthopedic around. I’ve tried a few others over the last 30 years and he’s simply head and shoulders above the best.
Top notch from the minute I walked in, courteous and professional. Dr Heywood is the best. Many of my friends who have been his patients speak very highly of him. I an very assured I'm in good hands for my upcoming procedure.
A pleasant and efficient environment. I'm feeling some relief, of my shoulder pain, since the visit.
Awesome Doctor!!!
Good customer care. Dr Heywood was straight and honest, and personable.
Thank you Dr. Preston and the rest of the team! I appreciate you all! Everyone from the front desk staff to the nurses and everyone down to the OR room! Dr. Preston is really great! He did my ACL
Dr. Peatman is a gem of knowledge and kindness. His experience in Sports Medicine and Degenerative Joint Disease helps craft a fast analysis and treatment plan. The staff is friendly and attentive. Easily accessible office with on site MRI and XR a plus. Thank you Dr. Peatman!
As the second opinion for my rotator cuff tears, Dr. Preston further explained the reasons surgery was not recommended and detailed the available options.
Timely, thorough and successful treatment.
The doctors are really friendly and concerned about what is going on with you. The nurses are very helpful. They remind you of your appointment.
Dr. Tyler Clark is a great Dr with a good bedside manner. Dr. Clark is very knowledgeable and I felt at ease discussing options. I would highly recommend Dr. Clark. The office staff are very nice and my experience has not involved long wait time at the office.
I thought Dr. Schilling did a great job diagnosing an issue I was having with my finger following a difficult bike accident where I also broke my collarbone. I appreciated the fact that he was thorough and gave me an honest assessment of what my options were. I would highly recommend him any orthopedic issues concerning the hand.
My 80 years aunt Lily fell and broke her right leg in Oakland Chinatown. Dr. Joseph Kuo did the surgery. She was so grateful that the surgery went well. She is able to walk now after six months of physical therapy. Lily keeps telling me how lucky she can walk again. We are so blessed to have Dr. Joseph Kuo , my aunt is forever remembered and grateful because she can walk again. Thank you. Joanna F. & Lily Ho

Dr. Coufal did a fantastic job repairing my collarbone after a crash. Beyond his technical abilities, he is willing to address your questions at any level and make sure you understand the procedure and the recovery.
Both my wife and I see dr lee for spine issues. He is caring and takes the time to listen when we have appts with him
Dr Theodore Schwartz has been my doctor since 2008. I wouldn't have it no other way. He takes time out with each and every patient and he really cares about everyone of us. I love ir when he says " well we'll see about that..." Thank Dr. Theodore Schwartz for such awesome care.
Dr Mead is a very professional doctor who explained everything I needed to know regarding a knee replacement. I was a little concerned about the surgery and recovery but he eased my concerns and answered all my questions
Dr. Sean Griffiths is one of the best I've seen (and I've seen many). He sincerely listens and doesn't use "Dr.-speak." I highly recommend Dr. Sean Griffiths.
Golden State Orthopedics in Brentwood is an excellent group of doctors and staff. Steven Lee MD of neck and spine specialties is exceptional in his field. He is quite professional ,knowledgeable!
The principle reason I would highly recommend Golden Gate Ortho and Spine is my positive interactions with my primary Physician, Dr. Porter. He has since our first introduction taken the time to listen to my concerns and explain clearly my questions. Front office and nurses always friendly. I would recommend any one looking for orthopedic care to look closely at Golden Gate and Dr. Porter in particular.
Dr. Heywood was outstanding…gave me honest feedback regarding chronic R hip pain, and addressed my R foot pain, providing referrals for both. Dr. Heywood has excellent bed-side manner, is very knowledgeable and honest. I’m very grateful!
Initial visit, helpful, courteous, surgeon reviewed and took all comments into consideration then understandable options to move forward 😀
Explained well, didn’t seem rushed but efficient and patient
Dr Wendy Wong and her assistant were fantastic. Staff were friendly!!
With these Doctors I find they remember you, they listen to you, they care about your care. If you have thoughts about your recovery they will help incorporate them into your recovery. They truly want you to recover that’s why I go there and recommend them Caroline Powers
I have had the pleasure of having Dr Hou as my pain management Doctor for about two years. I am amazed at how tenacious he is at trying to solve my lower arthritis back pain. He has treated me with injections along with painkillers. Dr.Hou also treats my wife’s pain issues. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone seeking pain relief from back, shoulder, elbow and knee pain.
Dr. Heywood is caring, compassionate, listens and explains procedure well. I visited him with a shoulder issue. Office is on the busier side but I don’t mind to wait as long as the service is good and it has been so far.
Everyone there is very nice and takes the time to listen to you. I have been going there for years for various things. All good experiences
It was very clean and orderly, the staff was very friendly.Dr. Clark was very professional and great personality.
Enjoyed speaking with doctor haywood. Very pleasant. Put me at ease. informative visit. Result as expected. Very confident that he will perform my surgery.
I’m so lucky that I fined Dr Tames peadman 5 years so I had saver pain at right knee a Friend recommended Dr peadman he did replace my knee I never had any pain and start waking again and feel good . Now my left knee same times have pain I will see him soon . Because he is the best ,.
Dr. Haywood was very present with me. He presented alternatives and didn't pressure me. He had been highly recommended and I was not disappointed. The wait time was really long. I will try and schedule future appointments in the morning to be seen more promptly.
Dr Elrashidy and Dawn are awesome, knowledgeable, and very good with patients. I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of Surgery. Golden State Ortho & Spine is a wonderful place to get the help you need.
Amazing! I have been going to them for 3 years and I have felt nothing but content. The doctors are kind and caring.
Dr.Porter is the best doctor ever.
A professional no nonsense group of professionals.
Dr. Bader is a very professional surgeon. He takes the time to listen to my issues and in return explained the procedures necessary that is needed for my injury. He has offered excellent procedures that has helped me on my injury.
Dr. Bader is very professional and explains things in a way the average person will understand. He tried conservative measures before discussing surgery as an option, which I greatly appreciated. Dr. Bader explained the surgical procedure and the recovery process and explained the pros and cons. The surgery went very well. I would highly recommend Dr. Bader to anyone needing orthopaedic care.
Dr. Heywood was professional and knowledgeable and addressed my concerns about healing my knee so I can continue with athletic endeavors. He is conservative in his approach and doesn’t automatically recommend surgery. He also has a nice bedside manner.
Excellent and professional Specialists. I was amazed with Dr. Schwartz knowledge and his attention to every detail in my case.
Dr Wyzykowski and staff are very professional, knowledgeable and attentive. He takes his time to explain and that helps me ask direct questions to my problems. I trust him to recommend procedures for me.
Very caring staff! Extremely professional and exceptional treatment for hand injuries.
My clinical care with Dr. Tischenko has been consistently excellent. While the administrative support is generally good, the occasional glitches — Rxs sent to the wrong pharmacy, appointments rescheduled by Muir — have been time-consuming to resolve because calls go right to a long queue or auto return calling, which puts the call at THEIR convenience rather than the patient’s. When that’s fixed, I’ll be happy to give a 5-star rating!
The entire staff Is very profesional. The doctors are very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. I had shoulder surgery and I am about to have knee surgery and I am very confident in my choice of surgeon.
I had a total hip replacement in May 2021. Dr. Wendy Wong was my surgeon. What she did for me is something “ Thank You” is not enough. The surgery went perfect. Her staff was better than imagined. Totally professional and caring. I felt so well taken care of. I was able to recover just using Tylenol, every 6 hours. Used 1/2 an Oxy, first night, but didn’t need it after that. I just followed my recovery instructions, which were concise and easy to follow. I am now 9 weeks post surgery. My body feels like new. My pain level is non-existent. I’m driving and doing all normal things. I highly recommend Dr. Wong and her wonderful staff for any Orthopedic needs.
Dr. Charles Preston and the Walnut Creek staff were very helpful with x-rays and professional guidance on follow up care for my arm fracture. Thank you everyone at Muir Orthopaedic Specialists.
They are very throughly. The staff are very nice. Highly recommend Dr Calafi.
Doctor Roth is an excellent physician. He clearly explained my options both pre- and post-op, and is clearly concerned about my overall health. I highly recommend him!
Physical Therapy is very well organized and comprehensive. My therapist, Jo, is terrific!
Muir Ortho is the best orthopedic doctors I’ve ever been to. I’m currently seeing several of their doctors since my arthritis is in most joints. I recommend Muir Ortho highly.
Highly recommend Dr Pecci!
Over the years I have had so many great experiences with MOS. Dr Don Lewis for hand and tendon surgery. He also follows my wrist problems. Dr Toma did an anterior hip replacement, Dr Norlach is my go to Dr for non- surgical treatments on lumbar herniated discs with injections. I am always impressed with their efficient offices and surgical staff and the Drs are the best!
Bests very special place 10 out of 10
Great experience. Caring. The treatment seems to be right on the spot!!!
Physical Therapy along with Doctor supervision. Done with with great care and concern.
They are personable knowledgeable and Dr Pecci is kind and helpful
Relaxed friendly staff. Starting with when I was greeted at the door everyone I came to the office, where my Temperature was taken and supplied with directions as to where to check-in. The check-in has always been low stress and I’ve never had to wait for more than a few minutes before I’ve been called back for my appointment. I really appreciative how efficiently your office is managed, My only issues have to do with procedures that I’m be sure are directly related to the difficulties of safely supplying face-to-face care during the pandemic, and may not be fixable in the near future. Firstly: The 45+ minute wait whenever I call the office is just not up to your otherwise impeccable standards. This needs to be pushed to the top of your ‘Get It Fixed Now!’ Task list! You supply top notch medical care, but this is a deal breaker. I have already told two close friends to look elsewhere for treatment, Based on your not fixing this critical problem. I would suggest; •Hire staff, temps if need be, and assign an admin team with carte Blanche to purchase equipment, computers, training, whatever it takes. And fix this quickly. Make the timeline be ideally, to have every patient to have their call picked up by a flesh and blood operator by the 4th ring. NEVER send them to voice mail. Your ‘Leave a number and we’ll call you back in the order your call was received’ is not working. People in pain, sick people call when they need help... NOW! They probably can’t get to the phone and answer your call before it goes to voice mail. And use text messages whenever possible. Liberal use of informal FaceTime and other video calls that pull in the caregivers family members would help. I only saw my surgeon Dr Preston at the initial consult and when he walked in as I was being prepped for surgery. I was surprised that he didn’t even drop in on the pre-op appointment. Was that the way it worked here even before Covid? My foot surgeon in Rhode Island (I had 6+ surgeries with Him) was always available for a consult, and he always performed every pre-op and post-op appointment. Actually, after his nurse did the prep work for every appointment, he personally managed every appointment unless he was supervising a new doctor or Physicians Assistant from Brown University Medical School. If needed, he would have me go out fir imaging and then return to the office the same day and together we would review the images. He had a dual screen display so that the patient could clearly see all the imaging as he went over it. This made it easy for me to use my iPhone to take photos of images at every appointment with him. Thus I have a dated personal record annotated with video notes from him. Very awful when I had the infections. He took pride in his work, and wanted to see first hand how I was doing. He also called me at home at least once within 24 hours after surgery to check on how I was doing. I felt I was part of the team. With covid, the only way to even approach these levels of communication is with the liberal use of the phone and FaceTime and other video chat tech Also before and after surgery, the patient Needs to be have there care giver, family member, Someone there with them to listen to what’s said by the doc before and after the procedure If they can’t be there physically, then FaceTime can fill the gaps. My partner is very knowledgeable, and we could have set up the tech As it was, I had no memory of what was said to me after the surgery, and the mass of paper instructions were of little use The sling was an absolute nightmare once it came out of adjustment and the PT didn’t arrive until the middle of the week. Again some help from the doc or others via FaceTime would have helped a lot during the initial few days. There were no resources available over the weekend and as surgery was Thursday that was an issue Oh, BTW, thank you Dr. Preston for remembering to arrange for the home health services (PT & the Home Health Aide) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Omg it was 100 percent great dr Bader did prp he is wonderful caring humble person and he takes his to time to let the patient understandable and he is is very patient I really would recommend him 200 percent
Dr Sacco excellent Staff nurse excellent Physical therapists excellent
All staff are pleasant, friendly and professional. Doctors are very knowledgeable of their specialty and are helpful and clear in providing diagnoses.
Dr. Calafi did a great job at putting Humpty Dumpty back together. He explained the procedure that he was going to do & answered all of my questions/concerns. He was instrumental in orchestrating the transfer of care from Santa Cruz ER back to John Muir ER in order to proceed with my surgery the following morning. I wouldn’t recommend having a traumatic incident occur to anyone but I would definitely recommend Dr. Calafi & Muir Orthopedic Specialists. Terrific staff & facility.
I have been a patient for many years. Always have been well informed of all procedures the staff has always been professional.
Professional experienced knowledgeable staff. Helpful & friendly from nurse assistants, to physical therapist. Special thank you to Dr Lewis, his very reliable helpful assistant Pamela. Physical therapist Adriana Hernandez & Gayle are the best. Caring understanding & compassionate & dedicated.
Every visits with Dr.Sacco feels like renewing my physical being. Two surgeries he did for me and all follow ups are doing great. He and his assistant Kayla has shown me something to feel good. Simply because they are awesome . Dr Sacco is caring to all my needs for my treatment. I would not have any other way but be seen by him in all my Ortho needs. I’m very confident on his knowledge of expertise in his fields of specialty.
I have been going to MOS for more than 10 years and their service and care has been amazing! The trust I have in my doctors here is total. I couldn’t go any other place
They fixed a some broken bones and I was feeling better a couple weeks ago Tom
Good people, good work, nice facility.
Thanks to all the Personal at M,O,S. For the great attention during the process of my surgery, all members are a great team, Dr Charles Preston and Laura they rock. Best Carlos ortiz
An all around positive experience with Muir Orthopedics. From entry desk, back desk, my personal care team and all people who have called to do follow up checks with me. Thank You.
I have had screws put in my feet, both knees replaced, right hip replaced, right thumb reattached to hand. Also given help with my broken back due to osteoporosis and scoliosis which can’t have surgery due to spinal cord being twisted and compressed in the compressions, breaks and twist from scoliosis. I can’t have surgery saw 5 surgeons, then sent to top surgeon neurologist at JMH Walnut Creek and shown on my imaging that needing a rod or two to fix my back would cause damage to my spinal cord and a great possibility of never walking again. So they keep my pain under control with PT, building up lumbar strength and medical. I see many doctors due to RA, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, scoliosis, nerve damage, AFIB, neuropathy, just to name a few. I still need left thumb reattached to hand, left shoulder full replacement and PT when needed for nerve damage and much more. I can’t give enough credit to Muir Orthopedic Specialists for their great surgeons and doctors, I came close to death a few times from other health issues and was blessed with all the care provided. I am living proof that I still am alive, walking with cane, getting help for whatever is needed and surgeons/doctors working together to let me keep going in this life. I am not totally pain free, but it’s manageable and I still enjoy life.
A little over the top, a machine , but that Dr Roth is the reason I’m here. Everyone was mechanical but very very nice and professional 👍🏽
They addressed my pain and I am now pain free.
Dr Sacco is very direct, which I appreciate. I told him about an issue, he presented to me my options and let me choose what I felt would be better for me. once I chose a treatment plan, he executed it quickly. He doesn't make me waste my time and he treats the issue quickly and effectively.
Fast. Experts. Simply the best!
Dr. Clark Took very good care of me. This is the place to go if you need anything. Awesome staff
Very professional care. Always pleasant
The attention to detail and prompt service was exceptional
Hardly any waiting Doctor was great knew what I needed and got right to it, after we talked about it Then was on my merry way home Great first time experience!!
I just finished the PT there I had a right knee replacement love the place all the people there are very nice safety is our number one concern
From start to finnish DR. Wongs team was on top of everything. no problems at all. amazing job with my knee replacement. i feel almost back to normal just a month and 9 days after my surgery. She is such a good doctor, her confidence is what kept me strong during the weeks leading up to my surgery. Best doctor I've ever had and I've had a really good experience all around. Thank you all.!!!!
De Socco and the entire medical team rocks.
Great doctors, surgeons, PAs, NPs and support staff.
They really take care of their patients and have physical therapy in the same office space.
My experience with Muir Othopaedic is that they’ve been very professional, thorough and virtuous.
Dr Pecci and staff have been caring 🤩and thorough with both care for my hip but especially with my plasma treatment for my knee. 🦵Follow up Physical Therapy was excellent especially during COvid.
Great Doctors and Nurses. Very professional and Knowledgeable. Always had a great experience.
Drs. provide excellent treatment and follow-up.
Muir Orthopaedic, highly recommended. Good doctors and a clean and safe environment.
Dr. Kou is amazing. After seeking treatment at another orthopedic group in the area and getting no satisfaction, I went to Muir. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Kou and his no-nonsense approach and complete explanation of the issue and treatment plan. No surprises.
Great care, professional, effective. Answered all questions.very kind. I felt my care was excellent and would recommend Dr. Badan and his staff.
Great people, safe environment, very professional and patient
Very good experience, very professional, very safe. Everyone seems to be on purpose, and happy to serve you. I highly recommend for all medical needs.
I have had three joint replacements and can’t recommend Muir Orthopedics and my doctors, highly enough. Their assistance pre and post surgery made wading through the process a no-brainer. What’s more, my drs. (Dr. Miranda-knees and Dr. Toma-hip) are exceptional, as were their P.A.s, schedulers and everyone else in their groups. They gave me back my lifestyle and a mobility I haven’t enjoyed in 20 years
My Therapist was great My Disappointment is my Next visit is not with him He was very thorough and I feel as is important to see the same person I have had physical therapy In Stanford and always had the same person
I had a procedure and the Dr was very specific on what he was doing, I’ll go back and highly recommend the Dr
Great people and a safe environment.

I had a appt and procedures the day of the procedure they exceeded my expectations my Dr had recommended me and referred me to them they were above and beyond friendly professional and very informative and they called to follow up on how I was doing I would highly recommend them.
Dr.Wiseman is the best. He has replaced both of my knees. i am back doing everything I did before the surgeries. living without pain is wonderfull.
Very thankful for there help
I have had successful surgery there with two of my doctors and very happy to have Dr. Bader on my side a credit to your staff.
Dr John Kronick renders most comprehensive care I’ve received for his specialty. I’ve been to several orthopaedic specialists. He’s the best!
I had a total hip replacement on 10/26/2020, facilitated and performed by Muir Orthopaedic. The pre-op care, surgery, and post-op care were all spectacular. I felt important and valued as a patient, and am doing very well. Thanks to Muir I’m starting to think about all the physical things I will accomplish going forward. Thank you!
THE BEST! I was terrified of having hip replacement as I had never had an operation. If I didn’t know I wouldn’t know that I actually had surgery. And I was kept completely out of pain. The follow up is hands-on and incredible . I cannot say enough about everyone I dealt with from Dr Crow, the surgeon all the way through to my physical therapists. I was all back to myself within eight days!!!
Have had half a dozen procedures done by Dr Sacco all were done perfectly.
Dr Knight and his crew are amazing angels who always put the patient first! They have been a godsend to my family and I cannot say enough about this team at John Muir. Highly RX them for all your Knee issues!
Growing old is mighty painful as life's trials and tribulations exact their toll on your body. Muir Orthopedic has performed some miracles on me and I am looking forward to the next fix, a new hip installed by what I'm told is a Great surgeon, Doctor Crowe! i can't wait for the relief! Thank you Muir Ortho.
Laura Davis the the best doctor ever had she always was on of everything she was wonderful thanks Laura.
I love Muir Orthopedic Specialists I’ve been to more than one specialist there. Dr. Sacco Has taken care of me for years. I’ve had arthroscopic surgery on both my shoulders and he has provided wonderful service to me over the past several years. Dr Sacco is a great listener and is kind and caring. Dr. Miranda is another great orthopedic surgeon if you are having problems with your knees. Dr Crow is another good surgeon. Very caring. If you need someone who can help you with back care, I recommend Dr Chang. He knows his stuff. You generally don’t have to wait too long to get an appointment to see someone.
Had a hip replacement in July by Dr Crow. They are both Great Surgeons. My four years of pain were gone in one day.
I had a lumbar fusion surgery three weeks ago and have great results! The staff led me through the whole process from beginning to end. Dr. Nelles was great and explained everything about the surgery in detail. My husband and I have used Muir Orthopaedic Specialists for years and we would definitely go back because we’ve always had positive results! Thank you Dr. Nelles, Dr. Mourthy, and Dr. Contreras.
i had foot reconstruction in feb,i was scared 1st surgery ever..Dr's made me feel very comfortable as they explain to me the procedure and what to expect and they were very confident of the outcome.
My experience with MOS was wonderful!! The entire staff was caring, kind ,and professional my hip surgeon, Wendy Wong was wonderful and pretty much walked me through the whole surgical procedure so there were no surprisesShe had a great personality and we laughed frequently!! The PTs were very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with!!!!! And super friendly! I definitely would refer them to others and I would certainly go back if I needed any additional surgery! Linda Carrozza
Friendly people and very efficient!
Excellent! We as a family have used Muir Ortho for years. Pleased every time.
They truly do care about the well-being of their patients. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the doctors at Muir Orthopedic. Truly blessed to have them so close to me.
I have the best experience in my recovery after surgery I have excellent doctor and excellent therapists good job 🙏❤️
Professional easy to get an appointment friendly staff
Great staff, professional and very organized. Thank you for taking such good care of us.
I wanted to follow up on my right hip replacement surgery performed a few months back, by saying THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Wendy Wong of Muir Orthopedic Specialists. When we met she provided all options offering the pros and cons of each potential treatment option. Through out the lead up to surgery Wendy made sure all my concerns and questions were addressed. I have led an amazing life and with that I’ve put some miles on this body and also suffered several significant injuries. Wendy and her staff made me feel like family with the care and genuine concern that you receive from those who care. The over and above efforts by herself and her staff has amazed me thru this whole process. I truly can’t thank them enough for all the Large and Small, seemingly insignificant things that made the world of difference to me and my recovery. I recommend Wendy and this group of professionals with highest confidence and know you’ll receive world class treatment as well. Their not just professionals, they are caring and compassionate human beings that set the example for their industry. Thanks again Dr. Wong your amazing!
I had a digital nerve repair with dr. Lewis, and I can’t recommend him and his team enough. It was scheduled in a timely manner, and the staff was amazing pre and post op. Dr. Lewis was great at breaking down the surgery for me, and the results have been great so far. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and his team!
Dr. Mead is not only very knowledgeable, but also very kind and willing to take whatever time I need to help me fully understand the process. He does not have a “surgical agenda”, but rather wants to find the best approach for me.
5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Everyone at the office is welcoming and friendly. The vibe starts when you enter any office setting. All of the receptionists are friendly. The xray techs are great, friendly and patient. Now lets get to Dr. Coufal. He is a trauma physician and I am glad he is!!! He is the best. He is friendly, explains your injury, takes his time with you. Prior to seeing him at MOS I saw him in the hospital. He would come to the hospital and explain to my husband and me his treatment plan. I highly recommend Muir Ortho Spec. And if you have a trauma injury (Lord forbid) Dr. Coufal! 👍🏾
Dr. Miranda is the best knee doctor I know!!! I can’t wait for him to fix my other knee. I highly recommend him for knee problems. I have referred many patients to him. Dr. James L. Edwards
Excellent care and personal approach is very much appreciated.
I injured myself in March 2019 and didn’t receive the best orthopedic care at the beginning of the injury. However, once I saw Moorthy, he was able to identify the issue and start the right treatment. I did end up needing surgery March of 2020 and I’m healing now. Doctor Moorthy is very thorough and explains everything in details. I am very pleased with my care I have received and continue to receive through Muir Orthopaedic Specialists.
Dr shilling is a tremendous Dr .very thoughtful, always explains and takes plenty of time to make sure all my questions are answered, He is the best.
The best!!! In out no delay, diagnosis and proceed to heal and recover so you can get back on track with life. Dr. Tischenko is expert with a knowledgeable team.
Best care in the area - knowledgeable and professional. I used their Urgent Care after hours for a broken leg and sprained ankle. Follow up care was great.
John Kronick, MD has saved me! A full hip replacement revision (first was not him!) and right and left knee replacements, all within 2 years due to a rare autoimmune syndrome. I would not be here, still walking, without him!
Dr Calafi is a very good Dr he listens and is very respectful
The folks there are friendly and professional.
Had a great experience at Muir Orthopedic Specialists. Everyone there was awesome! Thanks!
Dr. Lewis was so nice. He took the time to explain exactly what my diagnosis was. He gave me options for treatment. He then walked me over to the cast room and didn’t leave until he made sure there was someone there to help me. You don’t usually get service like that from a doctor.
I have several physicians at Muir Orthopaedic Specialists and truly feel that I get excellent professional information and care from each physician that I see. Recently I scheduled an appointment with a new doctor, Dr Tyler Clark for unbearable pain in my left thumb. He analyzed and evaluated my condition, sent me for X-ray to rule out any breaks & recommended a thumb brace and if that didn’t take care of it, an option of a shot. I returned weeks later, opted for the shot. Later I remembered Dr Joseph Narloch did a nerve conduction test quite a few years back which showed carpal tunnel more in my right than my left hand. Dr Clark thought probably that it was arthritis or perhaps the “CT” acting up since I’m handling a 93 yr old, the wheelchair and a husband with recent back surgery. He then recommended braces to sleep with on my hands. This remedied my pain issue completely. My follow up appointment remained as pain free! He has a delightful manner about him and I find it very easy to discuss your medical issue with him. I am confident in his care and highly recommend Dr Clark should you find the need for his excellent services.
Donald L Lewis MD Excellent wrist and Smith Radial Fracture repair. Excellent education.
Dr Lewis performed my hand surgery and he was very attentive and very professional. I would highly recommend him.
High level of competency in all orthopedic areas. Recently had hip revision surgery from Dr. Kronick and he did an outstanding job.
DR BRADLEY EMILY CROW BEST KNEE SURGEONS
Dr. Wendy Wong replaced my two knees. The surgery was very successful on both knees. I went home the next day from the hospital and did everything I was suppose to do for my healing process. I healed very fast and did not need to take much pain medication. She has a very sweet personality and I felt very comfortable with her. Three weeks after my second knee replacement, I fell and broke my knee cap(it was a bad fall). Dr. Wong saw me right away and made arrangements to operate within the week. I did not damage the knee replacement. She fixed my knee cap and I am now out of the brace which I had to wear for a little more than two months and I can bend my knee almost 100 degrees. I think she is amazing. She really knows what she is doing.
Muir Orthopedic doctors and nurses help their patients get better. They care and listen to us. Dr. Wong is the best knee surgeon!
I highly recommend using Dr. Louay Toma if you are considering a hip replacement. I delayed and procrastinated getting my left hip replaced and did talk to several Specialists through the years. I finally made the decision to get it replaced and while a complicated surgery, Dr. Toma and his team made the whole process and procedure thorough and everything worked out extremely well. I was thrilled. Two years later following retirement and a move to another state, when it was clear that I needed the second hip replaced, I returned to California Bay Area in 2019 to have Dr. Toma perform the surgery. Everything went great and recovery was even faster and easier than the first replacement. Dr. Toma is an excellent doctor and surgeon that performs the anterior hip replacement surgery brilliantly, is very thorough, very personable and the staff is helpful and organized. Thank you so much, Doctor!
Wendy Wong,MD Orthopedic Surgeon As a patient of Dr.Wendy Wong i could say that she is a good doctor. Very approaching,give adviced, kind and with a smiling face. She give me a good support and I even recommend her to my friend who need a knee replacement. Thank you 🙏🏻 so much Doctor Wendy Wong I will not forget you for the rest of my life
Felt very comfortable in their hands while going through my hip replacement surgery in 2015.
You will not find more caring and compassionate surgeons anywhere else on the planet. Their skill level is outstanding. The staff is the best there is... You will be treated like family
top of takent in all departments
The staff and doctors are professional and friendly. I have had a great experience with Dr Wiseman, Bridgett, and Valerie both pre and post op, and Katie and Rhonda during Physical Therapy. I am grateful for their professionalism during a difficult time in my life. I did have some difficulty with getting through to the medical office last month but I think it was the new phone system. Otherwise, I feel taken care of and respected.
I highly recommend Muir Orthopaedic Specialists. I had both of my hands done there about 10 or 11 years ago. I had a different doctor (who is still there) but all of the staff there is very friendly and professional.
Wonderful staff! Friendly and make sure you understand the process! Corwin was excellent!
Everyone was very nice and helpful. They were all incredibly patient, answering all my questions. I can't say enough about what a good experience I had.
Mirror orthopedics and their physical therapy department are freaking awesome!

Wonderful experience with knee surgery, Thanks!
Exceptional care from Dr. Moorthy and his assistant Michael. Several visits and a MRI resulted in surgery. Surgery was scheduled at Sequoia Surgical Pavilion. Experience was very impressive. Both Dr. Moorthy and Michael explained every little detail, answered all of my questions and eased every concern before and on the day of surgery. Dr. Moorthy spoke with my husband after surgery and Michael called me after surgery to check on me. I'm very satisfied and delighted with the care I received. Thank you so very much. �
May I suggest if you have to go for a foot specialist you run dont walk to Dr. Sam Kou! I wanted a more local doctor but a friend told me if you want the best you have to make the trip. So glad i did. Dr Kou is friendly, knowlegdable and comforting. The front desk staff is welcoming and wonderful. Thanks MOS.
I've been a patient with MOS for a very long time, as a result of a work injury. All of the doctors and staff at this facility are excellent in what capacity they are in, and I've never found a better group of doctors anywhere! Any time I hear of someone needing orthopedic services, I always refer them to MOS. I have been going there for so many years, I feel I need a plaque on the wall.
Excellent surgeon Dr. Lewis! Wonderful and caring staff!
Dr. Toma is Priceless!! I was up walking the same day i had my hip replacement and I had no pain, none, zero, never took anything but Tylenol. Dr. Toma gave me my life back!! Thank you
Unfortunately, we have been to MOS for many, many years; starting back in 2001 when my hubby had his hip replaced at a mere 39 y/o. Since then myself and all 4 of my children have used MOS and had fantastic results: 3 torn acl's, ankle surgery, toe surgery, broken arms, calf surgery, broken tailbone, percutanous tenectomy & PRP + lots of physical therapy! Cannot say enough good things about this group!
Moving to Nor Cal two years ago, I found myself needing a new Orthopedic Doctor I've been very pleased with the staff and care givers at Muir Orthopedic My questions and concerns have been addressed and a plan in place.
The John Muir slogan of BE HEARD applies to me. Kaiser denied me a hip replacement for a full year, which stole my quality of life. The moment I was able to see Dr. Toma he understood and HEARD what had happened to me and was ready to give me the full hip replacement that I needed. They saved my life. I am not whistling dixie here...they saved me. I am a young lady that had become nearly bound to my home....I will never forget this MOS.
Very nice staff! My son needed to have a cast and they were quick to get him in. Couldn't be happier with the attention they gave him. Thank you.
Just moved from Colorado and an Orthopedic Group I have loved for 10 years. Have to say, I am very pleased with my new Doctors in this practice, and confident I will receive the same wonderful care.
Dr. Knight just performed a Hip arthroscopy on my left hip 3 weeks ago. He is not only incredibly personable but his knowledge base is impeccable! If you are in need of hip surgeon I would HIGHLY recommend Muir Orthopedics and of course Dr. Knight!
La atención de primera y atendieron Ami hijo muy bien q sigan asi dios los bendiga
Doctors and staff very professional , had shoulder surgery. Execellent care .
They make you feel comfortable when your not. The MRI tech she was great.
10/17/16 Total Right Hip Replacement, walking the same day as my surgery!!!! Dr. Toma and the entire staff at John Muir Concord AWESOME.... Best care ever and I can't THANK everyone enough. 11/1/16 2 week check up and Dr. Toma, asked me where is the walker or cane, LOL kicked them to the curb. He has been the answer to my 4 year prayers to STOP THE PAIN!!! If I could give 10 STARS... Hands Down #TEAM TOMA 10/31/16 my 15 year old son fell down, broke his arm and a trip to Urgent Care referred to an ortho, so as I had my 2 week check up, he was getting a cast with Dr. Tischenko (spelling sorry) Why would you go to any other ortho????
Dr. Wendy Wong has been an extraordinary blessing for my orthopedic surgical needs. From the initial consultation to completion of the recovery process Dr. Wong demonstrated so many times her great surgical skills combined with her extensive knowledge of medicine. Dr. Wong, working closely with her medical assistant Angela J., was able to replace my right hip with a minimum of stress and pain. I was alleviated excruciating pain that was becoming crippling. I am now highly ambulatory because of Dr. Wong’s surgical abilities. I would recommend Dr. Wong to anyone in need of orthopedic surgery, especially my loved ones.
Five Stars all the way! Left hip replacement without even a slight complication. Walking 3+ miles/day on days 18, 19, and 20 without a cane. Walking on the afternoon of the same day as the surgery. Totally off pain medication within 7 days! Dr. Toma is the BEST! Many personal thanks to Dr. Toma & a very professional staff!
I was in and out in a flash. No additional damage to my knee.
Love my Dr's there!
