Dr. Pitcher is so amazing. He is very attentive, wonderful bedside manners. He has helped me through my inflammatory arthritis diagnosis. He immediately set out to get me the necessary tests - which I will forever be grateful for; had been to several doctors without getting the right tests and a delayed diagnosis.
I would highly recommend Dr. Pitcher to my own family and friends.

Dr. Alexandra Bradley. I am 62 years old. I've been having hip arthritis for the last 8 years. I kept postponing my operation for the last five years. I was afraid. Once I met with Dr. Bradley, his level of confidence and expertise put me at ease going ahead with the surgery. I had my surgery on November 20th and today is December 2nd (12 days after surgery). I had no complications and no infection. Everything went smoothly. Dr. Bradley came and visited me in the hospital three times the next Three Days after surgery every morning, even on a Saturday when I stayed there. He's very caring. He treated me as if I was his brother. Today I have no pain. I can walk. No complications and doing wonderful. Thank you, Doctor Bradley, For the expertise, confidence, and care that you put into your work. Dr. Bradley's staff is also excellent. They'll respond to my messages within an hour. Everyone is very friendly and caring, and it is very easy to get information and get hold of someone at the office. I'm 100% satisfied. Dr. Bradley has the hand of a master. He is a genius in his field. Very bright individual. I pray for you and thank you every night at my dinner table with my family.

Dr Talarico set me up with new orthotics after a broken ankle two years ago and my ankles have been in good shape up until recentlly, when I saw him for a sore posterior tibial tendon (for which I have a long history). He was very straightforward, doing the appropriate imaging and sending me for PT. I don't know what the outcome of this latest ankle trouble will be, but I appreciate his no-nonsense, no-overkill, one step at a time approach.

Our patients have received procedures from this group for years. Some of them come to our skilled nursing facility post-surgery for some in-patient rehab/therapy. Most of their patients come to us with great praise of the MD work. We hope to continue to receive patients from them and are happy that the patients are able to get back to their baseline functioning relatively quickly.
Thank you for the support.

I've had 3 R/cuff surgeries R/Shoulder starting 1999. Again 11/2023 I was experiencing the usual symptoms. I reached out to Dr. E. Stuffman due to his advanced techniques. After thorough examinations, another R/C surgery would be unadvisable. I respected Dr Stuffmans honest opinion, and as a business owner that means so much to me.
Thanks, Barry Pope

I had an unfortunate fall on a Saturday afternoon, at which point went to emergency where they confirmed a broken wrist. I was told Dr. Pitcher is the doctor that was to repair my wrist. I then went to the surgery center a few days later on Telegraph Ave and had my wrist repaired. 1 hour later it was done. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Pitcher. My wrist healed really fast in about 4 weeks from surgery to going back to work. I had no pain or distress. He did an amazing job. I had the best surgical and aftercare treatment I could ask for. He is an incredible surgeon and a terrific doctor. A million thanks to his phenomenal skills, There is no place that I could have done better! Again thank you Dr Pitcher you are truly the best!

I was involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident on 3-4-2024. The resulting injuries were; a spiral non-displaced lateral malleolar fracture, spiral fracture of the lower fibula, and tearing of sydesmotic ligaments up through my calf, some crushing damage to my left hip, possible fractured ribs, and a more than fair amount of road rash on my left side.
I had been through the Webster Orthopedics treatment system once before for a hand injury and had a good experience so I decided to go with them again.
My physician this time around (for the ankle related injuries) was Dr. Talarico. My experience was an entirely positive one. Talarico knew, and had experience with, injuries like mine many times and explained what the process of treatment would be, beginning with an MRI followed by surgery and then months of healing and PT. He exuded a confidence on the topic and had an answer to all of my questions. If your looking for a shoulder to cry on, or a doctor that's going to kiss your boo boos, Talarico is maybe not the best choice. However, if your looking for a matter-of-fact physician with seemingly endless knowledge of the ankle who will expeditiously schedule you for surgery and get you on your way to healing as soon as possible then he is the dude. I should also mention that surgery went great and I was well informed of what was going to happen before, during, and after. Talarico even managed to hide one of my small incision scars by following the outline of an existing tattoo on my ankle. In my experience, that kind of consideration is anomalous. I was able to get my surgery performed within about a week of my accident and his office assistant was extremely helpful and responsive from the very beginning and right on through till the approaching end.
Dealing with our convoluted, inflated medical system here in the US is a nightmare. I had to visit many doctors and organizations. Of these, Webster Orthopedics/ Golden State, and Talarico specifically, felt the most organized and effortless to deal with. You can always get someone on the phone, appointment management is easy and straightforward, and managing disability/EDD was assisted and simple. If there was a 6 star rating, I would give it.

I trust him to only operate when necessary, since he advised me not to do a surgery i was inquiring about. He is also a super kind person and very inclusive in decision-making. He explains the xrays thoroughly and he is super encouraging. He is awesome.

I was referred to Dr. Stuffman with Golden State Orthopedics and Spine after breaking the distal end of my radius (arm). He was detained in a meeting at our first visit, but his staff kept those of us waiting well informed. X-rays were taken ASAP and the nature of the fracture discussed thoroughly with me by Dr. Stuffman, as well as reviewing X-rays together. My arm was then casted and I returned in 3 weeks for further evaluation of healing. The cast put on at the second visit turned out to be too snug. I called immediately and though it was late in the day, the staff talked me through indications I might need to have it removed immediately or if it could wait until morning. An antispasmodic had been ordered that was not covered by my insurance and I shared the need to have the prescription changed. I received a phone call from Dr. Stuffman himself, assuring me the Rx had been changed and asking me to come in first thing in the morning for a new cast, or to the associated Urgent Care if I needed it done sooner.
I have worked as an RN, a NP and Nurse-Midwife since 1977, and this is the first time I have received a personal call from my attending physician unless we had become personal friends through our joint work together in over 30 years. Medicine has become a practice without much personal attention in the many years I have worked in the field.
Dr. Stuffman was kind, caring, informative about the fracture, the cast issues and the medication. I felt SEEN and actually cared for and my needs attended to, not just by excellent staff, but by Dr. Stuffman’s personal call and his inclusion of me in all care options. I am very grateful.

I had the most wonderful experience with Golden State Orthopedics in December 2023 which I must tell you about.
I am from Fort Klamath, Oregon approximately 380 miles from the Bay Area and Golden State Orthopedics. Klamath Falls has the most amazing doctors that could do the same thing for me very close to home. However, after meeting Doctor Hasan in Klamath Falls, before he relocated to the Bay Area, I decided to follow him for my back surgery. Dr Hasan operated on my back, and I had amazing results. So, when I needed my second knee replacement, I stayed with the same group and Dr Peatman performed the surgery, again with fantastic results. Well, now both of my shoulders need to be replaced, so I went back to Golden State with Doctor Eldersady. Besides the ease of working with everyone at Golden State, the trip is made even more convenient by the fact that my wife’s sister lives a mile away from San Ramon Regional Hospital, so the surgeries and follow ups make it a win-win as we get to visit my sister-in-law and her husband before and after my routine medical appointments.
Now for the good stuff, as if the above wasn’t good enough.
The week before Christmas I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Dawn at 4pm and being 5 hours away I thought it would be easy to leave Klamath at 11:00 and be in Oakland by 4, no problem. Well, I screwed up and miscalculated my travel time and I was going to be an hour late. I wanted to make the appointment so I called the operator at Golden State explaining my mistake, she called Dr. Dawn who said she would wait for me if I made it by 5pm. WHAT?????!!!! Were my ears drunk? Did a top-of-the-line Doctor say she would wait an extra hour for this Oregonian who just screwed up? WOW. The gods were with me, and the interstates were miraculously free of traffic, and I arrived in Oakland at Golden State at 4:50pm. By the hair of my chinny chin chin. I walked in and I felt like the president. Everyone was waiting for me…… Carman, who is one of my favorite people on earth was there, the x-ray person was all smiles, everyone else had smiles you could see a mile away. When Dr. Dawn walked into the room her professionalism showed up in her smile, and so did her amazing personality and positive candor and advice which makes me proud to say it is worth the 6-hour drive from Fort Klamath, OR. to be a patient of Golden State Orthopedics.
Thanks to everyone at Golden State for making an Old Jar Head feel special and on top of the world.

I unfortunately tore my Achilles in June. I had a decent experience getting it repaired. Good things.- quick and easy to schedule appointments (including evaluation, surgery and PT), the surgery was high-quality and successful, the PT is in the same building and has a great staff. The not so great things- the doctor spends VERY little time with you making it very hard to get any questions answered without you being extremely obstinate and interrupting the doctor, they nickel and dime you afterwards in that they charge $15 to get a medical waiver signed for clearing you to do certain activities. Overall the good outweigh the bad but numerous times I have left quite frustrated.

Dr. Stuffmam and The PT Staff was a-0-K. The oper on my left hand went on w/o a clich. The PT staff brought out the 2023 updated version of getting my left hand back to normal.
Appt. easy to make but PT is extremely popular because of the high success stories.

When I came to doctor picture my left leg was completely numb from the knee to my toes. My foot also didn't work. It just flopped when I walked. Dr. Pitcher performed a nerve decompression surgery just below my left knee. Within 6 months my leg was back to normal my foot works and there's no numbing whatsoever.

Dr Porter was very helpful in guiding me through a dislocated shoulder recovery. He was informative about the injury details as well as the steps to recovery. He was reassuring, but realistically so, when I was worried about the possible reoccurrence of the injury. Highly recommend his care. The office was generally well run and efficient, although at times there were snafu, like the CT machine going down right before I arrived for my appointment, or the waiting room being crowded during delays. It only affected me a little, and most visits were 100% smooth.

Had a hip replacement done by Dr Griffiths. I can’t think of anything negative about the entire process, from our first meeting to the 2 month checkup. He was patient snd answered all questions, checked on me the day after surgery, and the surgery was clearly done very well, since it healed with minimal pain and zero bruising, and after about eight weeks, I had virtually full recovery. Never kept waiting for appointments, and never rushed out before I had all questions answered. Highly recommend him!

GS Ortho. & Spine (Oakland) is an incredible, efficient and professional place for healing and care. Dr. A.Porter is so attentive, listens to patients concerns and truly cares about patient care and healing. My experience has been incredible, the healing is on-going, but I have every confidence that my care and the care of all patients is of utmost importance to Dr. Porter, the counter staff and medical assistants that attend to you when you arrive. I highly recommend GS Orthopedics and Spine, I would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Without question, if necessary, I would come back for care. Thank you.

He is an experienced long distance runner and has an educated understanding of how muscles, bones, ligaments… work together. He explained to me what was going on with my knee and recommend physical therapy. It’s working! Thank you Dr. Peatman.

have got a lot of help from accupucture and chiropractors in the past for my back pain. They could temporary release the pain but it always comes back until I went to visit Dr. Thomas Peatman last week. He is very nice with polite bed manner and he helped to list out options I have with pros and cons and wrote down the key points on a paper and gave me time to do research at home before making my decision for treatment. His medical assistant Sophie Caponigro is very responsible as well. It's a big surprise for me that she followed up with me multiple times for my request patiently and it's very rare to see with other clinics. Highly recommend the healthcare service of this site.

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Porter , an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee injuries. After experiencing significant pain and discomfort in my knee, I was referred to Dr. Porter for a meniscus repair.
From the moment I met Dr. Porter, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient in answering all of my questions and concerns. He took the time to explain my condition in detail and provided me with a variety of treatment options to consider.
Ultimately, I decided to proceed with the meniscus repair surgery, and I am so glad I did. Dr. Porter was highly skilled and experienced in performing the procedure, and he took great care to ensure that I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Dr.Porter's expertise and dedication, my knee is now healing beautifully, and I am well on my way to a full recovery. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of orthopedic care. He is truly one of the best in the field and has my utmost respect and gratitude. Thank you, Dr.Porter, for everything!

I've now had two hips replaced thanks to Dr. Louay Toma. If you need joint replacement, you can be assured of being in the best of hands with him and the group at Golden State Orthopedics. I like that Dr. Toma believes in supplementing the initial pain meds and therapy with vitamins and supplements to support recovery. He advocates for his patients in the hospital and ensures all aftercare is managed. I'm not wishing for any more joint replacements, but if I -- or you -- need them, these are the folks to turn to.

Amazing surgeon. Best ankle doctor for any ankle and foot fracture. I have so many people who know people who know people who got there bones fixed from Dr. Talarico. Funny thing- the few people I know with a horror story had surgery by other docs. Former UCSF faculty for 10 years- HELLO!!! Professional, skilled, good bedside manner. Everything I needed.

Straight forward. No hassle. Dr. Talarico does not mess around and is an amazing surgeon. I broke my ankle roller skating and he diagnosed the problem quickly- which was not the case in the ER. Surgery was no big deal. 6 weeks later I'm actually walking in a regular shoe with a brace. I had a friend who broke her ankle, had the same X-ray as me and surgery by someone in L.A. and wasn't walking for 3 months. Best ankle surgeon hands down.

I appreciate the care that I have received under the service rendered by my doctor, Dr. Porter. The staff, as well as the general atmosphere there leads one to feel comfortable and safe. It is important to be in the care of true professionals that blend their sense of professionalism and compassion that allows one to feel hopeful in the recovery process. Give them a try, the decision to do so can put you in the right hands, and don’t forget Dr. Porter. I highly recommend his care.

Dr. Pitcher provided excellent diagnostic & treatment information. His expertise, intelligence, & genuine concern about his patient are obvious from the point of introduction. He makes the treatment of a condition a collaborative effort by the patient & the physician. I wish all physicians would practice medicine as he does.

He and his team were very responsive to my questions and concerns. I highly recommend Dr Stuffman, the support team and the PT team who make it fun and challenging. I will forever associate each of them with my recovery and am very thankful to have them on this journey. I sincerely doubt you could do better . Five stars and a finger snap !

I have seen several excellent orthopedic doctors at Webster (now Golden State Ortho) over the past 15+ years including Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Peatman, Dr. Tseng & now Dr. Talarico. I had an injury to my right foot/ankle (tendon rupture partially) that I had been dealing with since last September & I was trying to avoid surgery but it wasn't healing so Dr. Talarico surgically repaired it in April, and he did an excellent job. A foot surgery is a very tough recovery but with Dr. Talarico's help & guidance I'm walking pain free again.
Dr. Talarico & his staff took excellent care of me. His staff is also excellent & so caring kind & helpful. Veronica his office assistant is awesome & Yolanda his surgical scheduler was very helpful when I had to change my surgery date.
If you have any orthopedic issues I highly recommend these excellent doctors.

listener, and while he is efficient with his time,
one never feels rushed. He makes sure he has
answered all your questions before ending the
visit. I would give him six stars if I could!

Given the reason that I had to come here in the first place, I had as good of an experience as one can have. I've been a lifelong athlete with previous experience at a very high level of activity in martial arts. I suffered a knee injury that I had been nursing for a year that was preventing me from training in any significant way. I went to the Walnut Creek location and worked with Dr. Kevin Roth who was friendly, professional, and had my likely diagnosis after a short conversation and physical exam. Diagnostic imaging was scheduled within a week, done within two, and surgery was scheduled roughly 4 weeks after our initial consult. Unfortunately, I then suffered a separate injury a week before the surgery. I went to Golden State's associated orthopedic urgent care and it was determined that we would likely need to address the new injury first, and that it would also require surgery. Diagnostics for the new injury were done within one week and the surgery was done by Dr. Roth 12 days after the new injury. Throughout the whole process Dr. Roth was communicative, empathetic, and helped me adjust and feel comfortable with the new plan. I then worked with the rehab group in Walnut Creek so that we could expedite my recovery to finally get the knee surgery done. I worked with physical therapists Janelle and Will, who were both friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to my progress and goals. I was able to get the knee surgery done 3 months later and, though the recovery process is challenging, Dr. Roth, Will, and Janelle have been awesome in addressing my concerns and personally tailoring my individual recovery plan to my goals. I'm finally at a point where I've moved on from rehabilitation to reconditioning, which I've been doing with physical therapist Kelly at the Walnut Creek location. She is another wonderful member of the Golden State Ortho team and we are working towards getting me back to a high level of function (I'm hoping to get to a point where I can train with professional athletes again in the future). I would highly recommend Golden State Orthopedic, and just want to say thank you again to Dr. Roth, Janelle, Will, and Kelly. Martial arts have always been a big part of my life and the injuries were incredibly demoralizing. This team has given me that part of my life back and I'll be forever grateful.

This was the first time in my life that I sustained a significant injury. It was all very scary and new. I felt anxious that I couldn't walk and needed help.
Dr. Elias Broheen was one of my doctors throughout my 6 month toe injury. He was very kind, answered all of my questions, never rushed me out of my appointment, filled out all the tedious paperwork I had to fill out for work and disability insurance. He was also very gentle with my toe wheb assessing it and listened to what I had to say. I had no idea that toe injuries took so long to heal. Dr. Broheen supported me all the way through and cheered me on! My job is very physical and requires me to walk 3 to 5 miles a day, and he made sure I felt comfortable and safe returning back to work.
If I ever need another orthopedic referral I will definitely come back and see Dr. Broheen again!

Dr. Talarico treated me for a sports-related broken ankle last year. The severity of the displacement of the bone was near the cutoff where surgery/no surgery was a judgment call. Dr. T. initially thought it best to not have the surgery. But he offered to discuss my case with a few of his colleagues before we made a final decision. Later that evening he called me and said his colleagues changed his mind. Given how much sports are a part of my lifestyle, he thought surgery made sense and I agreed. I'm very grateful that he was willing to change his mind and make a different recommendation after thinking it over carefully. Dr. T. did the surgery and, after a typical recovery, physical therapy, etc. my ankle eventually recovered and got me back to playing again at full strength. Dr. Talarico is an experienced, professional surgeon and I would recommend him and Webster highly. He has a very direct, matter-of-fact and fast-paced style of communicating that I appreciate as an east coast transplant. Others may find the need to adjust to that, but I wouldn't be put off by it.

Webster Orthopedics is my go-to place whenever I have issues with bones, ligaments or joint pain. I've severe osteoarthritis in my feet. Dr. Talerico, MD has helped manage this pain and stiffness through Cortisone shots. We will try a surgery in 2023, that I hope will lessen how often I need these shots.
Dr. Porter, M.D. is assisting with my prolonging the need for a total knee replacement and gave me an injection of Durolane, that has helped a great deal.

Great docs. Perfect location. These docs are busy and it's because they are good. Unfortunately- there is sometimes a wait but it is for a reason. Highly advanced treatments- I got a PRP injection from Dr. Elrashidy and am back to running. I broke my ankle and Dr. T fixed it- again- I am proof that you can return to activity after injuries. Seems like there may be some fake 1-star reviews if you dig deep. So sad.

This place is the best- not only because my foot surgeon, Dr. Talarico, practices here, but also for their organization, follow up, and timeliness with appointments. I recently had foot surgery, and the pre and post care was terrific. My husband has also been treated there for a hand problem and had the same experience. We would recommend Webster Ortho to anyone!

I was a bit nervous reading past reviews, and prepared for a less than stellar experience at Webster Orthopedics. I am overjoyed my fears were put to rest. The staff was fantastic...the front desk woman was very helpful and kind, the chairs in waiting room were spaced out, and the place felt and smelled very clean. The nursing staff were all great, and Dr. Talarico was superb! He reviewed my x-rays and CT and explained everything to me in a caring and accessible way, and told me what I would need to do to avoid the possibility of surgery (I thought he might push me towards surgery, and was thrilled he did not!). The only thing to be aware of as a patient (always), is to pay attention to what the doctor says and what the nurse orders...there were 2 different minor things I had to correct the staff on after the doctor told me my next course of action. But that was so minor to the whole experience.

The best team in orthopedics ever, Dr. Peatman and NP Brian Costello. As a four decades long serious equestrian competitor, I've long felt the events of falls and injuries sustained from the physical demands of the sport. A myriad of complaints and pain that reduce my quality of life. Their treatment plan keeps me comfortable.
I can't speak highly enough about the entire operation.

I am 4.5 months after a TKR with Dr Peatman I walk better than I have in years . I notice there seems to be doctors leaving not sure why . But Dr Peatman has been super . I researched who I wanted to do the surgery. I pretty much had my choice of any doctor any where . I can. Not be more than satisfied. He was great . Both before and after surgery always there and always available. Staff was great . Not a single negative comment to say . I have 125 percent range of motion and I am hiking . Still have some pain we will see att 6 months but as of know I can do things I could not 3 years ago

At the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown I tore my whole hamstring muscle group tendon completely off. Dr Steven Viess of Webster Orthopedics got me in to be seen quickly. The office is extremely Covid safe. He ordered an MRI on sight and got a quick surgery date. The procedure of reconnecting the tendon is difficult and involves working around the sciatic nerves. I had very little low grade pain and was referred to Webster's physical therapist Maggi Cary for Zoom visits. Maggi is very knowledgeable and provided me with a good regiment of exercise protocol. At six months out my leg is completely healed and I am hiking, swimming, biking, and carefully doing anything as normal. I am very great full and have the highest regard for Dr. Steven Veiss, orthopedic surgeon, and Maggie Cary, physical therapist, both of Webster Orthopedics.

I had seen Dr.Tallarico for an ankle collision. And during my first appointment everything went very well i took xrays an Mri and i had no problems. And then we had to wait to do the surgery because of the coronavirus but once i was able to it went smooth. We had a pre-op call and i got to ask the questions i wanted to know. And then surgery day i was nervous but everyone made me feel comfortable. Then before surgery i got to talk to the doctor and i was reassured on everything that was happening. After surgery everything felt good i wasn't in a lot of pain. For post-op and taking out stitches was very easy got in the waiting room got called back immediately and seen Dr.Tallarico i'm happy with the choice of webster orthopedics.

A sad series of events led to my complete tear of my right hamstrings. After a successful surgery, the therapist and aides helped me regain my strength and balance to about 90% of what I could do before. The rest is up to me, but 5K runs should be doable in a couple of months and 10K runs in a few more months after that. Black diamond ski trails definitely in 2020-2021. This 64 year old owes a lot to the competence and professionalism of the staff Webster Orthopedics to get me back on my feet and walking the hills of San Francisco again faster than I expected.

My name is Lance Lesueur, and I am from Klamath Falls, OR., and if Doc Hasan was a rock star I would follow him as the “Dead Headers” followed the “Grateful Dead” throughout their career.
Doc Hasan came to Klamath Falls for a short time to replace my previous orthopedic doctor Dr Wenner, who retired. Talk about big shoes to fill! Doc Wenner was not only a great surgeon but a person who really cared about our great community. Doc Wenner told me his replacement was going to be Dr. Hasan who was a fellow at the University of Washington and was top notch. When it came time to meet Doc Hasan in person, he walked into the exam room and I instantly liked him as confidence oozed from his pores and his aura told me he knew what he was doing. Wow. We started the process of him examining my back, and discussing treatment options. However, before we could co anything he decided to leave our community for the Bay Area of California. There was no way I was going to lose this doc, so I followed him to your clinic. We had our first meeting so that my wife could meet him because she just couldn’t understand why there were doctors an hour away and I wanted to travel 6 hours so that he could be the one to fix my back. My wife also has great guts and has never been wrong in sizing up people. He walked into the exam room and within minutes he won her over. YAY! After a pre op visit it was time for the surgery on November 4th at San Ramon Regional Medical Center, which was number one in every category but that is another Google Review. He went in from below my belly button, pulled my guts aside and put in two new discs between L-4=L-5 and L-5=S-1. I recovered for 4 days and he then fused my back using a relatively new technique of placing the screws on top of my skin and drilling through the muscle which was less invasive as it didn’t require the cut through the muscles on to get at the spine. All this was done in 6 nights at the hospital and then a 6 hour drive back to Klamath Falls a day later, which went remarkably well with less pain than expected. This is when I think he did his best work. He paid attention and was there to give advice from 300 miles away. Having my spine lifted so the nerves were not crushed was an amazing healing process, which was not bad except one night which was just painful as the freed up nerves were really ticked off. However the next morning I was good and I had livable pain the entire recovery process. Of course I was concerned and called him and a few hours later he called with the needed advice. Basically, the great news is that I can now feel my left foot without numbness or pain for the first time in 20 years. When I came back for our 6 week and 3 month checkup it was like coming home for Christmas. His nurse Kamaya meets you with the greatest smile and competence which all the staff have, and then the door opens and in walks one of the most competent smiles and auras in the world and all is good. Well I don’t think I want to give up on my groupie Dead Head Status for this man but I do need to add the fact that he walks on water according to this old Jar Head.
Thanks Doctor Hasan for giving me a new gait without pain.

I always consult Yelp and usually find it invaluable. This was not one of those times. After reading the reviews for WO, I was not looking forward to my appointment. WO sent me many text reminders for my appointment as well as a web-based tool to document my medical history, etc (as opposed to the usual first appointment sheets of paper) and I started but did not finish filling them out. They suggested I get there 15 minutes early to make sure everything was in order...I didn't do that. They also suggested that I bring my MRI on a disk. Amazingly, I did do that.
You can tell that I'm not an ideal patient so far.
I came in about 3 minutes before my appointment time. The person at the desk was pleasant and thankfully non-judgy about my inability to do two of the three things they asked of me beforehand. She gave me an iPad and I sat and finished the forms and drank fairly delicious coffee that they provide in the waiting room. I noticed a screen behind the desk giving the wait times for the various doctors. At 8:30 AM (they open at 8), all were on time in spite of people like me.
Upon finishing my "paperwork" (painless but I was a bit irked about having to enter credit card info), I was called in. I gave my MRI disk to the assistant. She asked if I had x-rays and I said no. She said that I'd need them and since I was a Workmen's Comp claim, no payment was expected from me as it is handled through the WC insurance. I was immediately taken in for the films. The tech was pleasant and efficient and I was pleased that I didn't have to strip down. I was in and out in 10 minutes. I took note that all of the employees I interacted with (and even ones I didn't) seemed happy and pleasant and seemed to really get along well with each other.
I was then shown in to an exam room and Dr. Eric Stuffmann came in a minute later. He ran down my case verbally with me instantly and I was immediately pleased. I expected to get the blank look. He went over my x-rays and MRI with me and gave me an unhurried and thorough exam. He dictated notes into a Alexa-like device and then answered my 58 questions in great detail often referring back to the x-ray or MRI. I was there for a second opinion and didn't feel he was looking for "more work" from me nor did I feel he was agreeing with the first opinion out of rote. He was the pinnacle of professionalism and obviously extremely skilled. If you read his bio for his education and training, it's impressive and tailor made for my specific injury.
All in all, this was the most positive experience I've had with a physician in decades. I reserve the right to come back and edit this review if I get charged for anything that I'm not expecting but short of that, I can't recommend Dr. Stuffmann highly enough.

The longest I've waited past my appointment time is 10 minutes (once). Most times I am called into an exam room early.
All of the front counter staff are warm, friendly, and helpful. They are always smiling (genuinely) and do not make you feel rushed or like you're a burden to them.
I have had two shoulder surgeries here (Dr. Eric Stuffman) and they are the best medical experience I've had,. Ever.

The physical therapists and interns at this center are 5 star!! Robb has a keen eye and expects active participation from his patients. The comradely amongst the staff creates a good vibe in this wellness center.
Management needs to address the lack of physical therapist in this business. I was shocked at how difficult it was to get an appointment in the Oakland area. All centers were booked 3-4 weeks in advance. Two weeks post ACL/miniscus surgery was my first PT session. It was easier to get a surgery date then a physical therapy appointment.
Management gets 1 star.
5 star staff and 3 star management. This gives the review a 4 star rating.
Sincerely,
WSC

On yesterday, 10/7/2019, I put out a yelp on Webster Orthopedics, highlighting my amazing surgical team & experience. I feel that it is necessary to also uplift the PT team, at Webster Wellness Center Oakland. To start, I selected this group, after my first AND second knee replacement. After the first knee replacement, I wrote a detailed review on my last day and placed it in the box provided. After leaving, I had a feeling that it wasn't enough. I wanted more people to know about my excellent experience that I'd endured for each and every appointment. I wanted to tell all how I was greeted with smiles upon entry, and how I was always motivated to not give up during each session, even if I wasn't up to it on that day or at that time. Robert Lin was the physical therapist that I worked with the most, however, if he was out, or booked, then I'd work with any, without disappointment. From the front desk, to the assistants, to the therapists; I've never felt slighted. I can honestly say that each of them maintained a pleasant, yet professional, down to earth personality. I noticed that they work as a close-knit family. This only made me feel more comfortable. During healing, what more could I ask for? I feel that one should be in touch with their mental as well as the physical during this vulnerable time. Body changes & healing pain in general, can be a lot to deal with. Webster Wellness Center Oakland is the right setting & has the right structure for such, as the views are amazing and the staff lifts you up continuously. The individuals that make up this place are patient oriented indeed, and will continue to do what they need to, in order to strengthen you, and bring you back to wellness. I will totally do a commercial for them if I could. I recommend this group again & again for physical therapy! Thank you guys for everything!

I had a left ankle surgery with Dr. Talarico April 26, 2019. I received all the appropriate pre-post care from his clinic and many thanks to the coordinator Argentina for making sure everything went by smooth. Dr. Talarico is very knowledgeable and explain all the process and procedure in detail. After my surgery my pain was controlled, and I did not need medication after a week. The staff from the clinic followed up with a phone call to check how I was doing which made me feel cared for. I would recommend Dr. Talarico and his staff as your primary podiatry surgeon. I would like to thank Dr. Ross Talarico for his care and getting me back on my feet.

All the staff are efficient and cheerful. The first doctor I was there awhile back has alas retired but I went again for a new thing and Dr. Roth was straight up honest about the fact that I'm basically just getting old and can only try to keep it from getting worse. He didn't recommend the surgery that I didn't really want anyway. And yes, I'll be good and go to PT and all that. But I also unexpectedly got a cortisone shot from Ebony, and she is really good at doing it - and I've had injections that were not done so well in the past so I appreciated it.

Love/hate relationship. Beware of incurring ANY credit card purchases. When it was refund time, told it takes 8 weeks to reverse a $900 charge. Ridiculous. But love Dr Roth, Tinsley, Maurice and their care. Go for the doctors. Beware the billing. After unanswered phone calls and a letter, I did get a call back and my money was refunded 2 weeks later. Hope they fix the billing process because there is not a better doctor anywhere than Dr Roth. Caring, compassionate, conservative, and fabulous results.

I just came back from seeing Dr. Peatman for a consult about my arthritic knee. Wait time was minimal. Staff is friendly, courteous and efficient. Dr. Peatman looked at my exrays and gave me several options, which he explained carefully and helped me make a decision without pressuring me. Highly recommend!

So far they have taken care of a broken elbow and broken wrist. The wrist required surgery to install a plate. Now going to specialized hand therapy. Did I mention they are also treating me for arthritis in my knees. Very happy with the care by doctors, physician assistants, and other crew. Always greeting graciously and treated well through visits which have included X-rays. Big benefit to have X-rays available on site. The Wellness Center provides a range of therapies. Down side is it can be difficult to get on the schedule.

Dr. Thomas Peatman has performed arthroscopic surgery on both my right and left hips. The left hip was due to an injury, and the right hip was to fix a minor case of dysplasia. Operations are never fun, but he ensured that both times were smooth and pleasant experiences. He is very caring and professional, along with his assistant Brian. If you must have orthopedic surgery, I highly recommend him!

Don't be dismayed by the wait time. Dr. Tseng is an excellent spine surgeon. He was thorough and provided information that was necessary before I agreed to back surgery. My recovery was easy and now I can walk around Lake Merritt without pain or having to stop.

Dr. Talarico is pretty darn good and I'd go to him again, in fact, I'd request him. The negative review he received was understandable BUT it was about bedside manner, not his skill, and he is indeed very skilled, he performed my foot surgery and I'm happy thus far...
During my first visit, he DID seem rushed and it was clearly a busy day but I was satisfied overall. My surgery date fit my asap timeline and it went very well (displaced fracture/5mm/5th metatarsal/some bone fragments). My healing is going great. I saw him again for my cast and he was friendly, patient, and didn't seem rushed at all - the clinic was less busy too, clearly relative. He suggested swimming to me as well but that was to be during recovery.
I'm a 46-year-old female - I run, dance, and skateboard often - he assured me I'll be doing all of those things once healed which will be a 12-week process. Now, about the clinic...
The first visit took a long time and the place was packed - chop shop packed. The second visit (mentioned above) was easy and fast and not as crowded. They were great with my insurance and I am satisfied. Life experience has taught me that normal variables make a difference in service so I'm more patient than most but I'm also fairly smart, particular, and shrewd. In summary, I would do this all again but let's hope I never have to.

I rehabed my left thumb with Liz, and she was AMAZING! The site and staff were awesome, super friendly and accessible. Liz worked hard to help me recover from surgery, and I saw positive results week after week. She was easy going, friendly and approachable. She worked hard to keep me moving toward the goal of optimal health and mobility.
I also found it easy to schedule ample times that fit my busy work schedule, and the automated reminder calls were super helpful. I highly recommend Webster Wellness Center for all your rehab needs!

I'm 67 and my hand is collapsing. I can't open a jar or hold on to anything heavy. I went to Dr. Richards at Webster Orthopedic looking for hope. Though the wait was long due to flu season among the Webster staff, they were all very sweet and patient with those of us who lacked that trait. The doctors assistant showed me into a room, took the necessary data and off I went to Ex Ray, of both hands! They were great. It didn't take long to meet the charming Dr. Richards. He spent at least 15 minutes with me explaining (essentially that I was old though in a very nice way) I had arthritis in both hands and the only treatment was protheses to relieve pain or surgery causing a great deal of pain and a year of recovery (not). So this is a very positive review, right? Not quite. Dr. Richards said I could purchase a prothesis from his office for $20. I'm familiar with the prothesis they use as a result of my own research prior to my appointment. The one his office promotes costs $35 on the internet. So I agreed to take one. My bill for the protheses was $270. My cost after my insurance coverage paid their share was $166. I was stunned to say the least. I went back to the office immediately and spoke to Dr. Richard's nurse. She said she would discuss it with Dr. Richards and get back to me. I received a revised invoice showing $5 due and was happy. Three weeks later I received another revised invoice for $188. I called the office and was told to disregard; they would get back to me. They did with a dunning notice for $188. Though I have high regard for the medical services provided by this doctor and practice, I strongly advise against agreeing to purchase anything directly from them without researching competitive costs on your own.

I had back surgery with Dr. Michael Tseng. The only thing I regret is not doing this earlier.
I was in excruciating pain for six months. Dr. Tseng advised first more conservative approached like physical therapy. When that didn't work, he talked to me about surgery. He was matter of fact and non-pushy at all.
I went for surgery at 12 PM, and I was walking out at 5 PM.
I went back to exercise, and I feel great.
Thanks, Dr. Tseng, you gave me my life back.

I am midway through a complicated wrist surgery and recuperation and could not be happier with my experience thus far.
I am seeing Dr. Richards and his staff from the front desk to the physicians assistant have been thoughtful and professional and sincerely care about my physical and mental well-being.
Accidents and managing medical care can be a stressful enough situation so it is wonderful to find a group of people dedicated to making that ordeal as easy to process as possible.
As for quality of care, don't take my word for it. Do your homework and you will see that Dr. Richards and his partners are well respected and often referred to. I could not be happier and fully recommend this medical establishment.

I've visited this office several times, and have never had a significant wait. Today, I barely had time to sit down after checking in before they called me into an examination room, and the PA was in to see me within a minute.
I've also had excellent care from Dr Roth and PA Lilles. Dr Roth performed surgery to install a metal plate on my broken clavicle, and did an excellent job. The aftercare and followup have been great as well.

I luckily discovered Dr. Stuffman for my broken wrist. The first thing he did was to replace the Mickey Mouse "cast" used by another doctor at a different local orthopedic group. Dr. Stuffman did the repair surgery at Eden Hospital. All went well. He is caring without any god
persona. He is skilled and competent--which today, cannot be said about many with medical degrees. For example, Stanford University cranks out MD's from their "special program." We know of one who went to elementary school with family, who scored 20% on her MCATs and D's in organic chemistry. BUT....she fills a quota and Stanford gets gov $$$ to push her through. I wouldn't let her remove a splinter from my dog's ass. Sadly, this forces people like us to research and seek qualified professionals like Dr. Stuffman.

I was lucky enough to be Dr. Salypongse's patient!! He did my hip replacement in December of 2015 and knee surgery in March 2016. He is a miracle worker!!! My hip was so bad that the hip socket had disintegrated and the bone was popping out when I would walk. I was in so much pain and so depressed and I didn't feel that I would ever be normal again or be able to walk normal!! I was so scared to have the surgery, but the doctor and his amazing staff made me feel very comfortable and safe!! I was up and walking four hours after my surgery and now I have absolutely NO pain in my hip at all!!! It is truly a miracle and I was so happy to be a part of his clientele! He is truly a big bright shining star and he has the most wonderful bedside manner!!! He never rushes you out of the office, answers all of your questions and makes you feel like a person, and he is there to help you get your life back!! He was just as wonderful when I had my knee surgery, but because of the extreme injury that I obtained, it wasn't as much of a homerun like the hip surgery. I completely trust his advice and opinion and would recommend him with the highest regard to any patient that needs orthopedic help!!! I just love him so much and I thank him for his wonderful care!!! Thank you, Dr. Sal!!! You are the best in my book!! - Cheri R.

Doctor Richards knows his stuff. Going into the first surgery of my life, his caring and extreme confidence completely eased my worrying. The surgery went perfectly and Dr. Richards monitored my healing process closely, always helping me understand what was happening and what to expect next. I feel very lucky that I got him to put my elbow back together.

I highly recommend Dr. Roth. He performed my shoulder surgery in May 2016 - open biceps tenodesis and three other arthroscopic procedure, including debridement and rotator cuff repair. He and his staff are amazing. They are very personable and really listen to your concerns and goals for recovery. Dr. Roth and his PA Shawn were great to deal with and his assistant Sabrina is one-of-a-kind. She was so helpful in getting my disability started and getting me any form I needed lightning fast. I was also very pleased with his surgical staff at Pleasanton surgery center. They provided very personal care that was top notch - they even put on music with my personal music preference to calm my nerves before surgery. I have made an excellent recovery so much faster than anticipated. I would trust Dr. Roth and his staff for any of my orthopedic needs.

I went in for an MRI today, I was impressed by the quality of service. Normally I shy away from medical groups but the experience at Webster orthopedics in Dublin blew my mind. Scheduling the appointment was a piece of cake Karissa Cassina will work with you, she's awesome. Parking was easy. Front staff uber courteous. When it comes to the MRI, Doug Kloppenburg is your tech. He's mindful of ones pain, kind friendly and knowledgeable. If you are in need of an MRI this is the place to go.

I really appreciate the prompt and effective response from the site manager Carol at the Dublin office. She took a proactive approach to this situation. Typically they fit the patient for the Polar Care harness at the pre-op appointment but no decision was made by the patient (my son) at that time to get the device. It is not typical that someone else comes back later to get the device. So I understand what happened and I really appreciate their concern for the unusual situation. I am impressed that this was quickly addressed to achieve a successful outcome. Thank you. Good job Carol and your staff!

So I had to wait until my second hip surgery was performed to write my comments..
If you know me personally you know that I am the worlds biggest skeptic. I never was one to trust what I read, hear , or told unless I personally experienced it for myself. First to start off with the girls that greet the patients at the front desk...AWESOME! Very professional and sweet. The office caters to their patients. The chairs are high for patients who just had knee, hip, or any other orthopedic surgery. Now the MA's are fantastic also.. Thanks Matt. Now the surgeon Dr.Aaron Salyapongse he is a God sent. Very professional and good at what he does. I have debilitating Rheumatoid Arthritis and has been dealing with painful flares-ups for two years and the alternative option was hip surgery since the biologics stop working. I was at a point in my life that I was wiling to try anything. I was very blessed to have Dr. Salyapongse be the surgeon to perform the anterior total hip replacements for both hips. The Left in October 2014 and the right in January 2015. Now I am bionic and good in regards to my hips. Recovery was just a few days until my RA decided to move into different joints...( another story). I just can not let another day go by without expressing how ecstatic and satisfied with my decision to pursue the surgery with Webster Orthopedics and Dr. Salyapongse. HE IS ONE OF THE FEW PHYSICIANS THAT HAVE A BEDSIDE MANNER!!! Also most importantly he is blessed with his talent of operating. He immediately came a saw all his patients after surgery in the hospital and made sure we where attended to and that all are request were met and made sure we were not in pain post operative. I can not fail to mention his right had "Gal" Robin Mercer his Physician Assistant. I know that she is very skilled and loves working with Dr.Salyapongse to provide the best care to her patients. I highly recommend this practice for your orthopedic needs and if you need joint replacement for hip or knees... Dr. Salyapongse is your guy... Trust me. His assistant is awesome also.... KIM YOU ARE ON TOP OF YOUR GAME !!! They also have movies playing on their tv and suckers for you if you want and also tea and coffe!!! The little things make a big impact

This is an extremely efficient office. Webster is one great place--very pleasant, very efficient. My surgeon, Dr Schwarz, is obviously an expert in his field, and was very helpful in explaining the fracture, and how he could fix it. I felt extra confident that i am in excellent hands. The PA, Josef Meier, was similarly very knowledgeable and helpful.
Not to be outdone, the surgery coordinator, "Christy," also was very pleasant and efficient in setting up my surgery--the very next day after I saw them! You can't do any better than that! See the surgeon one day, arm fixed the next! Yea!
I am very pleased with their medical knowledge. If you have to break an arm, be sure to do it near Webster!
I would write more, but I have to get ready for the surgery tomorrow.
Surgery update: the surgery went incredibly smooth. For a few days my arm was pretty swollen, but that was expected. Then I went into physical therapy. I worked with a hand specialist, Debbie, asssted by Eric. I have made very great progress. My range of motion is much improved just after a few physical therapy sessions. At my very first physical therapy appointment, the staff was having a potluck, which they invited me to. The squash casserole was excellent! I did not know that my insurance copay included free casseroles and free potluck lunches, but I was very grateful to discover this.
Honestly, it's hard to say enough good things about Webster. I won't say that I was happy that I broke my arm. But it wasn't too bad after all. And I'm still thinking about that squash casserole.

I just visited Webster Orthopedic in Dublin this morning due to excruciating knee pain I was having the night before. I even fell down the floor of my bedroom when I got up due to the pain. We called Webster Ortho to make an emergency appointment , but my regular doctor, Dr. Salyapongse is off until next week . I told the receptionist that I can take any of their doctor available. Luckily, P.A of Dr. Salyapongse was able to squeeze me to her busy schedule.it was so nice of her and all the staff in the office. I got a relief after the steroid shot, and they have to schedule my surgery because it is long overdue. My right knee is bone to bone and Dr. Salyapongse told me before that I am a candidate for knee surgery.
I like to give a special commendation to Robin Fuessenich for doing an exceptional job, so with the rest of the staff who have excellent customer service, from the caring receptionist, Kim, the surgery Scheduler and everyone in the office. I can not thank you enough for the wonderful job well done.
God bless you all and may you have a Happy and blessed Easter.
All the best,

Dr Vikram Talwar at Webster Orthopedics
He is awesome, specializes in backs, so although he is with Webster each Doctor has their own specialty. Dr Talwar had to do a fusion on my 21 yr old son after he developed fractures in his low back playing soccer. Dr Talwar did the fusion in May of 2012 and this fall he is back playing college soccer.
He also did a 2 level neck fusion on me in June and the pain was almost immediately relieved. I only stayed in the hospital overnight. Awesome doctor and his PA Jennifer is great too.

Excellent experience at Webster Orthopedics. I injured my shoulder over the weekend and the pain is so terrible I decided to see a specialist vs. regular doctor. I was skeptical based on some of the yelp reviews.
They fit me in the same day and I found the staff to be very friendly. I met with Dr. Schwartz who is friendly but very focused. He does not seem to be the type that will spend the first few minutes chatting it up about personal matters which in this case was fine with me. I was worried about timing when he ordered xrays but they do them right on the spot and then within 5-10 min you are back with the doctor. Amazing!
Kudos to the front desk and the xray technician. Quite possibly the friendliest staff I have encountered in the East Bay.
Here is my advice - if you are worried about time just ask the front desk how long the wait will be. They will tell you if the doctor is running behind. My wait was not very long but I did ask when I checked in.

End of Feb. 2013 did a number on my left ankle and foot. Had x-rays and yes problem.
referred to Webster. Dr. Tang saw me incredible in his medical advice. Boot--24 hrs
etc. see him in two weeks. Well a week later not watching what I was doing in boot
fell and broke my right wrist! Called Webster--they had me come in--I drove--
Dr. Tang was over whelmed with patients---but they got me x-rayed--and yes I did
do the break and a bad one---Dr. Tang talked about the options and we determined
surgery the best---he scheduled it that night---after he three other surgeries that
afternoon---at 11:15 pm he was in the recovery room with me---such care!
My wrist is fantastic---am very grateful--the care and concern for me was outstanding!
My lucky day was to meet Dr. Tang.

I had a work related injury and was referred to Webster Orthopedics for carpal tunnel surgery. Dr. Schwartz and his staff were very professional and my surgery was very quick and hassle free. When it came time for 6-weeks of physical therapy, Webster has the best staff in the area! Patricia was extremely helpful, careful and sensitive with the therapy she provided. I'm healing quickly, and I can guarantee it's because of her knowledge and expertise. Patricia's colleague Hannah is fantastic and very personable. Together, this team is a win for Webster and I feel fortunate to have had a great experience all around. Very, highly recommended!

Dr Demorest was very nice to see me as an adult, she usually see just kids. She recommended an x-ray, said it looked OK and that I needed Physical therapy. My hip/groin sprain (from tennis) is healing nicely but slowly and is now much improved. She is a great person to see if you have an injury and need to find out what the problem is, and she does not do surgeries(I believe). So I felt like I received a very competent exam and great care.

Dr. Talwar will fight for you in order to get you the treatment you need. His PA, Jennifer is just as amazing and truly cares about patients. Giselle is always happy and tends to matters in a timely manner. On the physical therapy side of the house, Julie is a wonderful therapist and knows what she's doing. I can't speak highly enough about this group. The only downside, is that you can spend a lot of time in the waiting room for your doctor appointment. Emergencies and surgeries seem to come up a lot and you have to wait.

Dr. Salyapongse performed a total hip replacement on me. He is probabaly one of the top orthopedic surgeons specializing in hip and knee replacement in the Country. Due to circumstances he choose to use the posterior approach. The surgery was performed on April 15th. I was discharged on April 17th and walked a1/4 mile on the 18th unassisted (without walker); my first full day at home. One week after the surgery I walked 1 1/2 miles. I would like to add I live on the second floor.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Salyapongse and his staff; Robin (PA-C), Alyssa and Juanita. They were all very attentive and responsive to my needs. Dr. Salyapongses operating team is definitely an A Team. He surrounds himself with individuals top in their field. The Dr. in charge of anaestesia is one of the best in the Bay. The Dr. doing follow up in recovery is triple board certified. By surrounding himself by the best, he increases his odds of a good and positive outcome.
Thank you Dr. Salyapongse, I know you have a lot of people supporting but without you driving the procedure it may not have been as positive. He is truly a very gifted surgeon. Valley Health Care is one of the top rated Hospitals for joint replacement in the Country.

Dublin Office... Dr. Schwartz and his staff are simply the best. Thank you Dr. Schwartz, Jennifer, (PA) and Joseph (PA) for your expertise and professionalism. I am truly blessed to have you taking such good care of medical needs. I have been going to physical therapy weekly since 11/2012 to the present (04/19/2013). Patricia, Sarah and Debbie have been awesome... they all make me feel very special, as though I was their only physical therapy patient. They treat everyone with dignity and respect. The ladies at the front desk are terrific as they are very friendly and greet everyone as they come into the office. Thank you Jesus for bringing them all into my life.

I had a ski accident and tore my ACL ligament.
A friend of mine, whose wife had the same surgery, recommended me to come to this office to see Joseph R. Donnelly... and I'm very glad I did.
The office is very clean and new.
Joseph R. Donnelly and Lauren Adler are very professorial in what they do. To me they are the best !
They made me feel very safe and confident that everything will be good and I will be able to go back to my normal life very soon.
Joseph R. Donnelly took the time to explain everything that needs to be done, answered every question and concern I had.
Lauren was able to set me up with MRI on the same first visit.
Before the surgery I was able to walk around in a cast that actually was delivered to my house by one of office representatives.
Lauren was great on answering all of my questions and assisting me on the phone before and after the surgery.
My Surgery went really well and my knee is healing great :-) I get comments at PT place that my scars are really small comparing to others :-)
After the surgery DR. Donnelly gave me a video and pictures of the surgery, explained everything and insured that all went well.
I felt like I was a part of a sport team and I was one of the athletes :-)
It has been 4 weeks now after surgery and I can walk again !
Thank you so much Dr Donnelly and Lauren for all your great help !

We have had a good experiences with both the Webster Orthopedics offices we have visited, but have had an EXCELLENT experience with the Dublin office. We were referred by our pediatrician for my daughters hand issues, when we arrived I was ready to be there all morning- to my surprise we were in and out in under an hour! Unheard of! Within that hour we saw Dr. Schwartz, were sent for x-rays (in office), met with the Dr. Schwartz again to read the x-rays, sent to the casting room where the ortho tec Victor was not only compliant, but kind and gentle with a very hurting hand.
I am amazed every time we enter that office with their efficiency. From the staff at the front desk, to the tec who walks you to the dr's office, to the Dr. himself (Dr. Schwartz is the best!!!!), back to the tec, to the x ray tecs (also very compliant and efficient), to back to the Dr., then off to Victor the ortho tec, and finally to Conner at the back desk to set up out next appointment (a very nice gent I might add). To think of all the hands that we pass through while in the office and still they maintain an efficiency and personal touch of a small clinic. Overall it was it was a wonderful experience- and although I hope to never have to see them again (who wants another broken bone) I am confidant if we do have to, Webster Orthopedics will be our first choice.

The Docs abd staff at Webster's are FABULOUS! Dr Veiss took care of BOTH of my kid's broken arms. He is caring and very sweet with the kids, and very competent and communicative. When my son broke his arm I went straight to my pediatrician and they had us into X-Ray at Webster's within a 1/2 hour!
My children's pediatrician called me the the first business day after the accident to make sure my child was OK. Webster had made sure she got the X-Rays and was aware of what was going on! I cannot say enough about these guys, they are great. Thank you Webster Orthopedic- you guys are the best.
p.s. The XRay tech Michael I think, was adorable with both my son and daughter, just so kind and sweet and playful.

Much thanks to Dr. Aaron Salyapongse and his team at Webster Orthopedics from me and my mother. Below are my mother's words after receiving a total hip replacement last April.
This is to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Salyapongse and his staff at Webster Orthopedics in Pleasanton for their care, concern, skill and expertise. A total hip replacement has freed me from pain and allowed me to once again participate in activities denied me in a wheelchair. Now I'm on my feet again and walking! "Thank you" is really inadequate for all you have done for me and therefore my eternal gratitude to Dr. Salyapongse and his team!

I am writing this review on behalf of Dr Salypongseand his staff. Dr. Salypongse performed knee replacement surgery on my left knee on August 30, 2010. I was in the hospital for four days and then home to physical therapy and eventually as an out patient. Within 4 weeks I was walking up to a mile using crutches only as a safety measure and within 6 weeks I was walking up to two miles using a cane for stability. In addition I was working out on the eliptical maching for 30 minutes and doing mile leg presses. I have several friends who have had this surgery and had real problems, sometimes resulting in a need for a second replacement surgerey. I have only the highest praise for Doctor Salypongse and his staff. As a surgeon Dr. Salypongse is absolutely first rate from initial consultation through the surgery and recovery and with follow up examinations. The staff must be included and I can't remember all the names but Katie made the arrangement with the insurance company and there were no surprises. Jamie, Physicians Assistant showed professionism and care, particularly when follow upp visits were made necessary due to an automobile accident in January.
My recommendations are the highest for Dr. salypongse and his staff.

Webster Orthopedics is very high tech and the staff is amazing. Dr. Donnelly and his nurse Gail are great. He has treated two of my injuries. Last week they had me in and out of there in one hour and I had an exam, x-ray, evaluation AND a cortisone shot. AMAZING!
Dr. Pitcher is so amazing. He is very attentive, wonderful bedside manners. He has helped me through my inflammatory arthritis diagnosis. He immediately set out to get me the necessary tests - which I will forever be grateful for; had been to several doctors without getting the right tests and a delayed diagnosis. I would highly recommend Dr. Pitcher to my own family and friends.
Dr Porter is one of the best Doctors I have ever met. He is very professional and informed. Thank you Dr Porter
My experience with the doctors at Golden State Orthopedics and Spine has been great, I am very pleased with the doctors I have, thank you
They provide excellent care here! However, it’s a bit disappointing that they don’t offer parking validation for the garage connected to their building, especially for patients with scheduled appointments.
friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
Dr. Alexandra Bradley. I am 62 years old. I've been having hip arthritis for the last 8 years. I kept postponing my operation for the last five years. I was afraid. Once I met with Dr. Bradley, his level of confidence and expertise put me at ease going ahead with the surgery. I had my surgery on November 20th and today is December 2nd (12 days after surgery). I had no complications and no infection. Everything went smoothly. Dr. Bradley came and visited me in the hospital three times the next Three Days after surgery every morning, even on a Saturday when I stayed there. He's very caring. He treated me as if I was his brother. Today I have no pain. I can walk. No complications and doing wonderful. Thank you, Doctor Bradley, For the expertise, confidence, and care that you put into your work. Dr. Bradley's staff is also excellent. They'll respond to my messages within an hour. Everyone is very friendly and caring, and it is very easy to get information and get hold of someone at the office. I'm 100% satisfied. Dr. Bradley has the hand of a master. He is a genius in his field. Very bright individual. I pray for you and thank you every night at my dinner table with my family.

Good doctor
Dr Talarico set me up with new orthotics after a broken ankle two years ago and my ankles have been in good shape up until recentlly, when I saw him for a sore posterior tibial tendon (for which I have a long history). He was very straightforward, doing the appropriate imaging and sending me for PT. I don't know what the outcome of this latest ankle trouble will be, but I appreciate his no-nonsense, no-overkill, one step at a time approach.
Our patients have received procedures from this group for years. Some of them come to our skilled nursing facility post-surgery for some in-patient rehab/therapy. Most of their patients come to us with great praise of the MD work. We hope to continue to receive patients from them and are happy that the patients are able to get back to their baseline functioning relatively quickly. Thank you for the support.
thank you Dr.Talarico,my foot is healing nicely,soon to be back on my road bike,mt.bike also.
Dr. Pitcher is an excellent physician -- highly knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and technically proficient. He recently gave me a paintless cortisone injection in my knee, and it has proved very helpful. He is genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of his patients.
Highly recommend. Responsive and professional. Always has treatment options.
Dr. Griffiths was very patient, provided clear options, and helped me to get back in full motion!
I've had 3 R/cuff surgeries R/Shoulder starting 1999. Again 11/2023 I was experiencing the usual symptoms. I reached out to Dr. E. Stuffman due to his advanced techniques. After thorough examinations, another R/C surgery would be unadvisable. I respected Dr Stuffmans honest opinion, and as a business owner that means so much to me. Thanks, Barry Pope
I like him is very patient and he knows exactly what needs to be done.
A Great Respectful place to go to !
I appreciate Dr. Stuffman’s thoroughness in evaluating the problem in my left elbow/forearm. Per his request, I had an MRI of my left arm on 11/4/24. I am scheduled for a follow up visit with him on 11/11/24 to review the results of the MRI.
Very professional service. Excellent knowledge. Honest communication.
Very professional, caring & efficient.
I have been very pleased with factual information that was provided to me. I could make knowledgeable decisions.
I am more than happy to leave this positive review for Golden Gate Orthopedic center. The entire experience from booking my first appointment to having an MRI, front desk, nurses and ever so competent doctor guiding me with respect to my medical needs has been nothing but extremely positive. Thank you all for running such a professional environment.
Knowledgeable, competent, things are explained in understandable ways. Really glad I found them. The solutions work. They listen to my concerns.
very professional has the best orthopedic physician and Surgeons
I love Dr. Pritchett! My knees are improving slowly and the pain has diminished a bit.
Great and fast, was able to tell me what was wrong and help me with what I needed to do in order to recover from my wrist
Is it possible for me to get a doctor's note ?
Dr Pitcher performed surgeries on both my collarbones this year. Both were successful using plates and screws. Recovery was very quick. He explained to me in detail the procedure.
Amazing doctor and team!!
I had an unfortunate fall on a Saturday afternoon, at which point went to emergency where they confirmed a broken wrist. I was told Dr. Pitcher is the doctor that was to repair my wrist. I then went to the surgery center a few days later on Telegraph Ave and had my wrist repaired. 1 hour later it was done. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Pitcher. My wrist healed really fast in about 4 weeks from surgery to going back to work. I had no pain or distress. He did an amazing job. I had the best surgical and aftercare treatment I could ask for. He is an incredible surgeon and a terrific doctor. A million thanks to his phenomenal skills, There is no place that I could have done better! Again thank you Dr Pitcher you are truly the best!
It was good
Dr Pitcher is personable & knowledgeable. He communicates well & listens to you. I was very pleased with the orthopedic care I received from him.
Great Service! Highly recommended!
Excellent service from Dr. Porter! Highly recommended!
I really like Dr Talarico. A no nonsense, get to the point Doctor whose skills are unmatched, IMHO. I had him as my Dr in 2017 and again recently when I broke my heel. I highly recommend Dr Talarico. His explanation of my situation was clear, his plan of action concise, and my recovery progressing well.
Dr Bradley has been my orthopedic Dr, he has listened and treat me perfectly well for my knees, he is very empathic and and really listens
I inadvertently hit the incorrect button before finishing my edits.
Dr. Pitcher performed my surgery with fantastic results. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always provided time to answer my questions. The surgery center staff were excellent, skilled, personable, and made be comfortable under the circumstances of having surgery. Excellent post op care. Everyone was very competent and took great care of me. I did have to ask Dr. Pitcher to order physical therapy which proved to be helpful in my healing process of having sustained a wrist fracture. I would recommend Dr. Pitcher who, unfortunately need
I gave Dr. Porter 5 stars because he is considering enough to help me find ways to relieve my pain
Dr Talarico is a kind and caring physician and very through curing the examination period
My experiences with Dr. Pitcher are EXCELLENT 🤗👏 He is very knowledgeable, courteous, professional yet very warm, and gives you clear picture of your condition. I am so happy to be treated by Dr. Pitcher !
Excellent professional service.
Dr. Talarico is a friendly guy, enthusiastic and I look forward to my surgery wit him this month.
Thank you for the great service provided
Dr. Peatman is an awesome person and surgeon. He actively listens and paraphrases to let you know he heard what have stated, via a concern or question. He performed both of my hip replacements and I’m very pleased with the results as well as after care. Your organization is lucky to have such a professional and personable surgeon. I have recommended him to all my friends and family. Dr. Peggy Monroe
Three (3) months ago I had right knee replacement surgery performed by Dr Sean Griffiths. Twenty months ago Dr. Griffiths replaced my left knee. Now I have a matching pair. He is a talented surgeon who really cares about his patients: before, during and post surgery. I love guy. My knees feel amazing and I am able to resume, swimming, biking and hiking pain free. Thank you sir.

I was involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident on 3-4-2024. The resulting injuries were; a spiral non-displaced lateral malleolar fracture, spiral fracture of the lower fibula, and tearing of sydesmotic ligaments up through my calf, some crushing damage to my left hip, possible fractured ribs, and a more than fair amount of road rash on my left side. I had been through the Webster Orthopedics treatment system once before for a hand injury and had a good experience so I decided to go with them again. My physician this time around (for the ankle related injuries) was Dr. Talarico. My experience was an entirely positive one. Talarico knew, and had experience with, injuries like mine many times and explained what the process of treatment would be, beginning with an MRI followed by surgery and then months of healing and PT. He exuded a confidence on the topic and had an answer to all of my questions. If your looking for a shoulder to cry on, or a doctor that's going to kiss your boo boos, Talarico is maybe not the best choice. However, if your looking for a matter-of-fact physician with seemingly endless knowledge of the ankle who will expeditiously schedule you for surgery and get you on your way to healing as soon as possible then he is the dude. I should also mention that surgery went great and I was well informed of what was going to happen before, during, and after. Talarico even managed to hide one of my small incision scars by following the outline of an existing tattoo on my ankle. In my experience, that kind of consideration is anomalous. I was able to get my surgery performed within about a week of my accident and his office assistant was extremely helpful and responsive from the very beginning and right on through till the approaching end. Dealing with our convoluted, inflated medical system here in the US is a nightmare. I had to visit many doctors and organizations. Of these, Webster Orthopedics/ Golden State, and Talarico specifically, felt the most organized and effortless to deal with. You can always get someone on the phone, appointment management is easy and straightforward, and managing disability/EDD was assisted and simple. If there was a 6 star rating, I would give it.
Needed a cortisone shot for my shoulder without all the primary, specialist rigamarole. They were fast, efficient and very courteous & competent. Highly recommend!
Was very good that I met the doctor on my visited day. Specially as it is my second language he explained to me was good. Thank you Dr Hany Elrashidy
Dr.Porter is the best MD ever he is very professional and has given me great advice Thank you
Dr. Pitcher is a caring, communicative and highly knowledgeable doctor. He explains things clearly, including options and expectations with great care for patient's well-being.
Dr El Rashidy is the BOMB!!!!! ain't no better!!!!
All good, including Dr. Pitcher and the cortisone shot.
Dr. Porter was attentive when I spoke of my condition. He showed compassion when explaining the MRI results.
Dr. Griffiths is an amazing physician! He's compassionate, kind, thorough and has incredible bedside manners! Oh, and very gentle with cortisone injections!
DR.BRdley has run BEEN EXCELLENT AHEN I HAVE SEEN HIM HOWEVER. but I hAVE NOT RECIEVED ENOUGH CRARE,TO WRITE A REFERRAL.
I have not seen Dr BrDLEY ENOUGH TO WRITE A REFERRAL.
Dr. Porter has reduced my arthritis pain and I’m now enjoying a better quality of life.
Dr. Pitcher has now operated twice on me. Left elbow and right wrist, where now i have plates & pins. He is an artist in his creativity and skill in putting me back together. I trust him to only operate when necessary, since he advised me not to do a surgery i was inquiring about. He is also a super kind person and very inclusive in decision-making. He explains the xrays thoroughly and he is super encouraging. He is awesome.
Golden State Orthopedics & Spine provides urgent and yet high quality orthopedic services in the Bay Area thanks to its efficient organization and and qualified physicians like Dr. Eric Stuffman who had treated me promptly and effectively twice my hand problem twice within the last two years. It gives me a peace of mind knowing I can have access to such great health services should I need it in the future.
Dr. Pitcher is an excellent doctor. He listened to me and gave me the time I needed to explain to him what I thought was wrong with me, his advice was helpful and reduced the pain I was having. . I would highly recommend him and the care I received at Golden State Orthopedic. Eugene Agress
I was referred to Dr. Stuffman with Golden State Orthopedics and Spine after breaking the distal end of my radius (arm). He was detained in a meeting at our first visit, but his staff kept those of us waiting well informed. X-rays were taken ASAP and the nature of the fracture discussed thoroughly with me by Dr. Stuffman, as well as reviewing X-rays together. My arm was then casted and I returned in 3 weeks for further evaluation of healing. The cast put on at the second visit turned out to be too snug. I called immediately and though it was late in the day, the staff talked me through indications I might need to have it removed immediately or if it could wait until morning. An antispasmodic had been ordered that was not covered by my insurance and I shared the need to have the prescription changed. I received a phone call from Dr. Stuffman himself, assuring me the Rx had been changed and asking me to come in first thing in the morning for a new cast, or to the associated Urgent Care if I needed it done sooner. I have worked as an RN, a NP and Nurse-Midwife since 1977, and this is the first time I have received a personal call from my attending physician unless we had become personal friends through our joint work together in over 30 years. Medicine has become a practice without much personal attention in the many years I have worked in the field. Dr. Stuffman was kind, caring, informative about the fracture, the cast issues and the medication. I felt SEEN and actually cared for and my needs attended to, not just by excellent staff, but by Dr. Stuffman’s personal call and his inclusion of me in all care options. I am very grateful.
Very efficient, short time wait to see the doctor and courteous staff.
Keep up the good work.
Dr. Porter is a friendly and caring doctor. The office was very busy when I saw him, but I didn’t feel rush by him, or the staff. He explains things clearly and I felt very comfortable with him. Thank you, Dr. Porter.
Dr. Porter is a very experienced doctor. He is attentive and will make sure to go extra miles to get great results with treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. Porter!
Great experiences
Good approach
Thank you
very conservative…
Professional, thorough, kind! Great doctor.
No comment
don't use any of those internet programs, so can't offer recommendations. very good experience with this doctor.
Excellent professional service and cares for patients.
Dr. Peatman is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He cares about his patients and never makes me feel rushed.
My father is currently under Dr. Pitcher’s care, and he is completely satisfied with the level of care he is getting. Dr. Pitcher is very detailed and knowledgeable. He discusses with us my father’s treatment plan. We highly recommend Dr. Pitcher.
Very good service and a very nice doctor
Doctor Peatman, Was fantastic generally concerned about my injuries and the issues that i'm going through. He gave me his thoughts and multiple choices for us to choose from. I'm very happy with the outcome.
Professional, great bedside manner and takes the time to explain and walk you through the entire process.
Excellent service. Very helpful with questions asked.
The GSOS Staff provides wonderful customer service. Dr. Stuffman thoroughly explained both my injury and the procedure that he'd perform to correct it. He addressed my concerns and answered all of my questions.
Combination of clarity of explanation re: condition and options available pleasant Demeanor
Very responsive thorough explanations. I will use in future
Dr. Pitcher was great. Empathetic and so competent. He did not recommend surgery when he felt that it was unnecessary. I felt so comfortable in his care.
Great doctor. I’m still able to walk 10 miles on two knees with replacements thanks to Dr. Peakman.👍🏿
My experience with Dr Austin Pitcher was as noted 5 stars Kind , caring and explain clearly my options and what to expect. I hate needles ...he took the time to do the procedure and kept me as comfortable as I could possibly be. Roger G
I have already recommended you to my friends.
Dr Peatman is an excellent doctor. He did my right knee replacement, and later worked with me to explore other possible treatments for my left knee. He communicated clearly with me in all of our discussions, and his warm and positive approach to addressing my medical needs and concerns was extremely reassuring. I would highly recommend working with him.
Good doctor and he explain everything to me
Great Service
I had great care
.
Don't usually post reviews but my experience here with scheduling and care was so good I felt compelled to. Highly recommend over anything else
Good folks, yes Dr Porter is a real human being and I appreciate him very much. Very very rare to Have a doctor who genuinely cares for your injury and health, full stop. God bless you and family Doc.
Received the best medical service from Dr. Hasan the best surgeon ever I could not walk I was was stuck in a wheelchair he repaired my cervical discs in my neck now I am out of wheelchair and back to my every day activities. Thank you Dr. Hansan
Austin is a very personable guy that seems to take the time for you. He also has done his research before he comes in to talk with you.
Grateful always
Dr.Peatman was professional,friendly and provided detailed information re the injury.
I have seen Dr. Peatman recently for a meniscus tear and he has been both generous with his time and also has come up with a plan that has been critical to my knee health. Many years ago I had a knee fracture, and he helped me with that too. I highly recommend him to anyone with knee problems.
I had the most wonderful experience with Golden State Orthopedics in December 2023 which I must tell you about. I am from Fort Klamath, Oregon approximately 380 miles from the Bay Area and Golden State Orthopedics. Klamath Falls has the most amazing doctors that could do the same thing for me very close to home. However, after meeting Doctor Hasan in Klamath Falls, before he relocated to the Bay Area, I decided to follow him for my back surgery. Dr Hasan operated on my back, and I had amazing results. So, when I needed my second knee replacement, I stayed with the same group and Dr Peatman performed the surgery, again with fantastic results. Well, now both of my shoulders need to be replaced, so I went back to Golden State with Doctor Eldersady. Besides the ease of working with everyone at Golden State, the trip is made even more convenient by the fact that my wife’s sister lives a mile away from San Ramon Regional Hospital, so the surgeries and follow ups make it a win-win as we get to visit my sister-in-law and her husband before and after my routine medical appointments. Now for the good stuff, as if the above wasn’t good enough. The week before Christmas I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Dawn at 4pm and being 5 hours away I thought it would be easy to leave Klamath at 11:00 and be in Oakland by 4, no problem. Well, I screwed up and miscalculated my travel time and I was going to be an hour late. I wanted to make the appointment so I called the operator at Golden State explaining my mistake, she called Dr. Dawn who said she would wait for me if I made it by 5pm. WHAT?????!!!! Were my ears drunk? Did a top-of-the-line Doctor say she would wait an extra hour for this Oregonian who just screwed up? WOW. The gods were with me, and the interstates were miraculously free of traffic, and I arrived in Oakland at Golden State at 4:50pm. By the hair of my chinny chin chin. I walked in and I felt like the president. Everyone was waiting for me…… Carman, who is one of my favorite people on earth was there, the x-ray person was all smiles, everyone else had smiles you could see a mile away. When Dr. Dawn walked into the room her professionalism showed up in her smile, and so did her amazing personality and positive candor and advice which makes me proud to say it is worth the 6-hour drive from Fort Klamath, OR. to be a patient of Golden State Orthopedics. Thanks to everyone at Golden State for making an Old Jar Head feel special and on top of the world. Lance Lesueur Fort Klamath Oregon
Dry kind and professional… sensitive and communicative… very helpful

I have received treatment from Dr. Pitcher for a chronic condition, and he is always professional, informative, friendly and courteous.
I unfortunately tore my Achilles in June. I had a decent experience getting it repaired. Good things.- quick and easy to schedule appointments (including evaluation, surgery and PT), the surgery was high-quality and successful, the PT is in the same building and has a great staff. The not so great things- the doctor spends VERY little time with you making it very hard to get any questions answered without you being extremely obstinate and interrupting the doctor, they nickel and dime you afterwards in that they charge $15 to get a medical waiver signed for clearing you to do certain activities. Overall the good outweigh the bad but numerous times I have left quite frustrated.
by the way, does your office offer?
Very thorough. Excellent guidance. Keep up the great work!
Dr. Stuffman is a wonderful hand and wrist orthopedic surgeon. He performed surgery on my broken wrist, which has healed without one problem. Most recently he has treated me for tendonitis and trigger fingers, both successful. Dr. Stuffman is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He is the Best!
Blessings Staff very helpful never waited longer than 2min getting registered maybe 5min for Dr.Stuffman impressed that he was knowledgeable about my condition dictation done shoots given bilateral he explained as he went about what he was doing. I would definitely recommend him
i'm getting excellent PT there for two recent falls. The DPT (Patrick) is caring. Started with thorough analysis and testing; continues to narrow in on my issues. Nice sense of humor, too.
Great Doctor listen to my reason for being at the appointment.
The people are very nice
Webster orthopedic doctors are very kind and professional
Great service, no bs. Office staff was happy and efficient. Surgeon was friendly and approachable. My wrist surgery couldn't have gone better.
Great!
Great!
I feel he does a good job.
Dr. Stuffman is an extremely effective orthopedic specialist who is been very responsive to my needs. I recommend him highly to anyone needing orthopedic treatment. George Krevsky

The Office, Staff, treated me with respect 👍👍 Dr. Stuffmam and The PT Staff was a-0-K. The oper on my left hand went on w/o a clich. The PT staff brought out the 2023 updated version of getting my left hand back to normal. Appt. easy to make but PT is extremely popular because of the high success stories. Micky Cancer/Hospice “ SURVIVOR “ 🎗️.
I had surgery on my rotator cuff and the doctor did a great job and the staff is very nice and friendly and helpful. And yes I recommend this particular doctor and place. Thank you Elrashidy and Dawn.
When I came to doctor picture my left leg was completely numb from the knee to my toes. My foot also didn't work. It just flopped when I walked. Dr. Pitcher performed a nerve decompression surgery just below my left knee. Within 6 months my leg was back to normal my foot works and there's no numbing whatsoever.
Eric S. Stuffman did an amazing job with no pain during my steroid injection for carpal tunnel.
Outstanding surgeons, PAs, xray Techs and Admin Staff
Appointments always run on time. The staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Stuffman is the best. He explains things clearly and completely, you don't have to ask any further questions, they've all been answered by Dr. Stuffman.
Dr. Pitcher is a wonderful guy and helping me fix my knee pain. I would recommend him to anyone needing help with orthopedic pain and healing. Robert
Dr Porter was very helpful in guiding me through a dislocated shoulder recovery. He was informative about the injury details as well as the steps to recovery. He was reassuring, but realistically so, when I was worried about the possible reoccurrence of the injury. Highly recommend his care. The office was generally well run and efficient, although at times there were snafu, like the CT machine going down right before I arrived for my appointment, or the waiting room being crowded during delays. It only affected me a little, and most visits were 100% smooth.
I had physical therapy sessions last year. Everyone here is so pleasant and so, very supportive ! Especially, Mai is amazing!!!!
Dr Porter is amazing!
Dr. Eric S. Stuffman, MD is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. He operated on my right shoulder, and saw to my pre and post surgery care. He is committed to providing the best care to his patients and is currently treating me for right arm tennis elbow and right forearm epicondilytis. If you are looking for the best specialist, look no further. Dr. Stuffman takes a holistic approach to one’s care.
Excellent & very kind doctor
Had a hip replacement done by Dr Griffiths. I can’t think of anything negative about the entire process, from our first meeting to the 2 month checkup. He was patient snd answered all questions, checked on me the day after surgery, and the surgery was clearly done very well, since it healed with minimal pain and zero bruising, and after about eight weeks, I had virtually full recovery. Never kept waiting for appointments, and never rushed out before I had all questions answered. Highly recommend him!
I am so pleased & grateful for the care and expertise I’ve received at Golden State Orthopedics and Spine. The staff are wonderful and Dr. Austin Pitcher, orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. Jeffrey Eng, the master physical therapist, have been exceptional. The healing of my arm/shoulder has been progressing extremely well.
Highly recommend. Took me in quickly when I needed post surgery care from emergency shoulder surgery in another state which many surgeons won’t do. Very personable. I always feel like Dr Pitcher was listening and not rushing with me and appointments were on time. Staff also good.
GS Ortho. & Spine (Oakland) is an incredible, efficient and professional place for healing and care. Dr. A.Porter is so attentive, listens to patients concerns and truly cares about patient care and healing. My experience has been incredible, the healing is on-going, but I have every confidence that my care and the care of all patients is of utmost importance to Dr. Porter, the counter staff and medical assistants that attend to you when you arrive. I highly recommend GS Orthopedics and Spine, I would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Without question, if necessary, I would come back for care. Thank you.
Dr. Hany is great. Very caring and shows very much empathy to me about my pains in my first visit. He made me feel comfortable and to have him as my primary Orthopedic. I highly appreciate him and highly recommend him.
Great visit: listened to all my experiences and concerned, answered all my Qs, and clearly laid out possible treatments, and his recommendations. I felt well cared for.
Dr Griffith is my far one of the best surgeons I’ve ever seen. Both his office and bedside manner is five star I really like he did my knee surgery Robotically My scare is actually beautiful (as scares go) I highly recommend him.
I appreciated Dr.Stuffman patient cool calm demeanor as well as the service I received upon my first visit to his clinic. I didn’t have to wait a long time to be seen and the staff very pleasant and efficient.
Profesional Doctor
Kindle & patient to me as. his patient
I've been a patient at Golden State Orthopaedics & Spine since 2019. The entire staff has always been kind, friendly, helpful & very knowledgeable. Dawn is always available to answer any questions I have & Dr. Elrashidy is the best. I couldn't ask for a better team.
Very helpful. Listens to everthing you have to say. Makes you feel very comfortable. Would recommend Dr. Porter to all my family members and friends.
I recently had a very good experience at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine in Oakland in scheduling and wait time. I met with Dr. Peatman a few years ago for a hip issue; and recently returned to diagnose my knee. I find Dr. Peatman to be very professional and thorough. He is an experienced long distance runner and has an educated understanding of how muscles, bones, ligaments… work together. He explained to me what was going on with my knee and recommend physical therapy. It’s working! Thank you Dr. Peatman.
Very personable, good listener to my concerns. Knowable about different treatments for arthritis.
Dr Pitcher performed surgery on my wrist after a fall. I am healing well and looking forward to using my hand again. Dr Pitcher is an intelligent and skilled surgeon and is kind and concerned about his patients!!
Great staff and the doctors are very patient and caring!! You leave with a full understanding of diagnosis and next steps!!
Dr Peatman is excellent! Great listener, compassionate and elite physician. The staff is efficient. Highly recommended.
I live in Oakland, so Golden State Orthopedics & Spine is located very close to where I live, there’s convenient parking is very clean inside everyone is helpful, friendly and very respectful. The doctor help me understand what was going on with my knee, and he explained it very well in Laymans terms And I appreciate him for that. I am very happy with my choice of choosing this doctor, and I believe you will too. Thank you very much Dr. Porter.
Seen in a timely manner very professional. I have confidence in Dr Stuffman and that he will do the needed care that I require. Would recommend him to anyone who has any need for his speciality.
Very pleased with Dr. Peatman. He's very attentive and actually listen to your opinions. Would highly recommend him anyone that I know who would need to see an orthopedics doctor
I broke my wrist and the docs here quickly got me patched up and I'm 100% again!
I have so much going on at this time, but I thank you very
I always feel the doctors listen to my needs and answer my questions regardless how busy they are.
Doctor Pitcher helped ease my mom knee’s pains tremendously. My mom can walk with much lesser pain, and she is happier. Thanks to the good Doctor.
Amazing
Dr. Stuffman was great to work with in diagnosing my issues. He was on-time, let me ask tons of question, super personable and helped me move forward.
Dr. Peatman was as direct and honest as he always is and the technicians were quick and efficient.
Had my hip replaced by Dr. Griffith. He did an incredible job with the latest techniques, allowing for quick recovery. Was back up and walking way faster than I expected. PT clinic excellent as well. I had given up hiking/walking any long distance due to severe osteoarthritis pain. Just went on my first hike in over a year just 6 weeks post op. My only regret is that I did not have the surgery a year ago! Administrative process for the clinic was good as well.
I haven't had much done here so far, but at this point I can say that this is a very well-run, friendly, helpful office. The front desk is fantastic, the phone people are fantastic, and they seem to bend over backwards to actually help the patients at this place. (Sadly, this is unusual these days!) Dr. Hasan also seems to be amazing so far. Unusually for a surgeon, he is not just smart, but also warm and friendly. For once, I feel like I'm in good hands.
Thank you!
Re: Dr. Austin Pitcher. I fractured my wrist a few months ago. I was able to get into Dr. Pitcher’s office immediately. He did a superb repair surgery and I now have almost complete use of my wrist. He followed up timely. He has a great “bedside manner”. I highly recommend him.
Care seems good but a little difficult to get an appointment
I have severe osteoarthritis; Golden State Orthopedics and Spine has really given me the ability to continue working, perform my daily task, and live independently without assistance. Golden State Orthopedics and Spine has recommended different treatments that have been very beneficial. The treatments I have received allow me to function so much better with less pain. The staff is very friendly and courteous. I would refer anyone who needs an orthopedic specialist to make an appointment with Golden State Orthopedics and Spine. You won't be disappointed.
Dr Sean Griffin is the best!
Dr. Peatman is very caring and thorough. I am glad we have him for ortho.
Dr. Eric Stuffman, is one of the most amazing physicians that I know, incredibly detail oriented, thorough and articulate. He is incredibly talented, truly cares for his patients and has immaculate follow ups. He is truly one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the nation with specialty care for hand and wrist. I go to him for personal care and have no hesitation, referring any and all patients to him that are in need of a services
Personable, knowledgeable, accessible
I had to have both hips and my right knee replaced.. This is how I met Dr Peatman, who is the brilliant surgeon who's performed these surgeries. I'd refer him to any one of my family members or friends of in a heartbeat! SHOUT OUT TO DR. PEATMAN!!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯
IBoth my husband and I have used the two hand therapists. They have been a big help in alleviating pain and promoting healing and strength. They are able to succeed because they listen to the patient and adapt the program to fit the individual.
Dr. Porter is friendly, professional, easy to talk to and concise.
Very personable and comprehensive
Excellent care. Sometimes a long wait in the waiting room.
Was easy to schedule, then reschedule, my appointment and Dr. Porter was knowledgeable and performed an impromptu procedure right away instead of requiring me to come back for a separate visit.
Thank you Doctor for helping me. I really appreciate it.
Very professional, efficient & caring staff.
The best orthopedic team, ever! It is their focus to provide the best orthopedic care in the East Bay. The staff is organized and friendly. I’ve never waited more than ten minutes to be seen.. I feel very taken care of regarding my orthopedic needs.
Pump and always on time and always truthful
Gracias
Doctor Peatman is a great physician. He is bright, knowledgeable, and shows an interest in his patients. Moreover he is a good listener, one of the most important abilities of a doctor. He is not merely satisfied with treating symptoms but is devoted to getting to the root of the problem.or problems that the patient presents.
Very good Doctor
Dr. Pitcher diagnosed my ruptured Achilles tendon right away (before MRI) and set me up with the GSOS specialist. I appreciate how friendly he was and how smoothly the process went.
Great services secretaries are very nice!!
Dr. Stuffmann is a very thorough and professional doctor, listening to my questions and concerns. He gave me answers to me in terms that I was able to understand. I feel I made the right decision in choosing him as my primary treating physician.
have got a lot of help from accupucture and chiropractors in the past for my back pain. They could temporary release the pain but it always comes back until I went to visit Dr. Thomas Peatman last week. He is very nice with polite bed manner and he helped to list out options I have with pros and cons and wrote down the key points on a paper and gave me time to do research at home before making my decision for treatment. His medical assistant Sophie Caponigro is very responsible as well. It's a big surprise for me that she followed up with me multiple times for my request patiently and it's very rare to see with other clinics. Highly recommend the healthcare service of this site.
Accurate assessment of the true condition of my knee & what I think I should do about it. No unnecessary promoting. I'm very grateful because I was scared & unsure about what to do or not.
Excellent Care! Dr. Porter is awesome. Professional, compassionate, and highly skilled. I highly recommend.
Dr. Pitcher was really great. Smart, nice guy Good to have him as my orthopedic doctor.
I had a major procedure lead by Dr. Hassan performed seven weeks ago. I’m still in recovery but my chronic lower back pain essentially is gone. Dr. Hassan clearly explained the procedure to me and inspired confidence from the beginning. He clearly is a talented and experienced surgeon and I highly recommend him based on my personal experience.
Excellent care! I appreciated how he listened to me , didn’t rush our conversation, and was very thorough in explaining causes of my hip issue and possible options to help. I highly recommend Dr. Porter.
My husband had a bicycle accident. Dr. Pitcher was on call the night we went to the ED. Exceptional care, great follow up. Explained everything from start to finish. The office was efficient and everyone was very helpful.
I highly recommend Dr. Anthony Porter at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine and his team of knowledgeable staff. I recently under went surgery to repair a fractured Patella. The care teams insightful approach to my knee health, treatment options, and the recovery process, exceeded my expectations for a clinic best practice and standards. Additionally, Dr.Porter is an excellent surgeon and quality patient care is what can expect from your first visit through to your last. Dr.Tonya White
I’ve seen several of the orthopedists in this practice for sport injuries and now Dr. Stuffman. All have been excellent and Dr. Stuffman maintains the tradition.
This was a great experience Dr was excellent and I feel much better. Thanks again.
Dr. Austin Pitcher & Staff is the best
My experience with Dr Peatman has been extremely helpful he is a excellent Orthopedic Dr. I highly recommend him.
After supper, ask question list as well and provide the right analysis and steps to recovery. Very positive experience.
👍🏾
My mom was seen on time. Everyone was friendly and efficient. Dr Pitcher explain our options thoroughly and patiently.
I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Porter , an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee injuries. After experiencing significant pain and discomfort in my knee, I was referred to Dr. Porter for a meniscus repair. From the moment I met Dr. Porter, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient in answering all of my questions and concerns. He took the time to explain my condition in detail and provided me with a variety of treatment options to consider. Ultimately, I decided to proceed with the meniscus repair surgery, and I am so glad I did. Dr. Porter was highly skilled and experienced in performing the procedure, and he took great care to ensure that I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to Dr.Porter's expertise and dedication, my knee is now healing beautifully, and I am well on my way to a full recovery. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of orthopedic care. He is truly one of the best in the field and has my utmost respect and gratitude. Thank you, Dr.Porter, for everything!
The visit was very personal and detailed I felt confident in the facts they were telling me I will definitely go back if needed they were very friendly and concerned
Excellent
a very pleasant and expert experience. I have referred one friend and she is also very satisfied with her experience.
Buen Doctor lo recomendaria
Would like to thank you for your referral after many months of not knowing what’s going on. I am now going to see Stafford doctors appreciate you made those shoe inserts for me. Thank you very much.
Dr. Peatman treated me for my knees. His knowledge, explanation of my injuries and different options for recovery were phenomenal. He has a great bedside manner and is an amazing physician. You're in GREAT hands with Dr. Peatman.
He took the care of my husband that he would take of his own dad. So caring in every way there is and stellar all the time. We love and respect the guy. Our son is a doc and he kept him informed along the way. De Peatman actually put my husband into the car himself. I am raving about this man!!!!
I appreciate him input he a very nice doctor I appreciate the way he explain to me I'm grateful to have him as my doctor I would recommend him for a doctor to my friends I give him 5 stars😁
My experience with Dr Pitcher has been life changing. I can walk and do most activities without pain. He was thorough in his examination and in really understanding what was going on for me. I felt listened to and respected. he has a good sense of humor and doesn’t rush through the appointment.
Great staff and the cortisone shots kicked in relight away hope they last for a few months
Very professional, and friendly
Dr. Porter gave me as much time as I needed to get my questions answered. The staff was awesome - very quick to get in to the doc. Third time there - all great experiences.
Dr.Stuffman kindly explained everything I needed to know about my condition. I really appreciated how present snd patient he was with me. He is also very competent!
I would like to thank Dr Joshua Richards for his hard dedication and working in the orthopedic field of, hands, shoulder, and arms.

Do not have Facebook or anything else
Really good doctor
Dr. Peatman is an excellent doctor. He is intelligent, curious, knowledgeable in his field and equally important, a good listener. You get the feeling that he wants to do anything in his power to help his patients
Great office!!!
Extremely kind and professional
Dr Talarico is wonderful, he’s very caring and his staffs are excellent as well.
Informative and helpful consultation.
I didn't expect to slip & fall on a wet floor @ my beloved Health Club, however I had a lucky experience when Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr, Austin Pitcher answered a call for his services in early December this year! As A RN, you of course want The Best Ortho Surgeon, and I was so lucky to have Dr Pitcher on call! I can't say enough accolades as to his skills & demeanor!
Dr. Talarico is always user friendly. He listens and is concerned about his patients and their care. He has great bedside manner and the staff is great as well.
Very understanding and very efficient knows his expertise
I’ve been seeing Dr. Thomas Peatman since 2015 when he performed a complete hip replacement on my left side. It has been a complete success.He is and has always been a consummate professional while at the same time friendly and personally engaged. He is experienced and knowledgeable and more than willing to share his thoughts with me. He listens respectfully to what I report, asks pertinent questions and then proposes a treatment plan. It’s a very mutual process. I deeply appreciate it and him.
…
This has been a long painful ride but with out my doctor and team I would be lost. They have helped me every step of the way plus making me feel like I’m in the best hands… Thank you Once again
Dr porter is truly the best. Great doctor, very professional and understanding. He’s the best surgeon I ever had. Great work
Wonderful staff and the Doctors are excellent
Good Doctors
He treated me very nice I appreciate you thank you very much
I've now had two hips replaced thanks to Dr. Louay Toma. If you need joint replacement, you can be assured of being in the best of hands with him and the group at Golden State Orthopedics. I like that Dr. Toma believes in supplementing the initial pain meds and therapy with vitamins and supplements to support recovery. He advocates for his patients in the hospital and ensures all aftercare is managed. I'm not wishing for any more joint replacements, but if I -- or you -- need them, these are the folks to turn to.
Amazing surgeon. Best ankle doctor for any ankle and foot fracture. I have so many people who know people who know people who got there bones fixed from Dr. Talarico. Funny thing- the few people I know with a horror story had surgery by other docs. Former UCSF faculty for 10 years- HELLO!!! Professional, skilled, good bedside manner. Everything I needed.
Professionalism is important when it comes to healthcare, and the Doctors and staff are very professional.
He’s a professional and friendly doctor. He explains my condition clearly.
I'm getting great PT from Jeff (and Mai, assistant PT). I have a full width, full thickness tear of my rotator cuff. Jeff and Mai are patient, encouraging and pacing the PT exercises in a careful and successful way.
Easy to book and check in. Staff are all very friendly. Dr. Richard's was great. He has great bedside manner and takes the time to listen and answer all questions.
Made me feel very comfortable!!!
My orthopedic doctor Dr talarico is an awesome doctor he understand my needs and dealing with my pain issues and if needed surgery for which he is a professional orthopedic doctor and dealing with my foot issues and ankles. I highly recommend Mr talarico and staff to assist you in dealing with issues with your body of orthopedic.
The doctor that help me it was very professional
This has been a very positive experience pre-op. Very easy to talk to, excited as I can be to get the surgery completed and back to normal.
The staff is friendly and the doctor was very knowledgeable.
No comment
Straight forward. No hassle. Dr. Talarico does not mess around and is an amazing surgeon. I broke my ankle roller skating and he diagnosed the problem quickly- which was not the case in the ER. Surgery was no big deal. 6 weeks later I'm actually walking in a regular shoe with a brace. I had a friend who broke her ankle, had the same X-ray as me and surgery by someone in L.A. and wasn't walking for 3 months. Best ankle surgeon hands down.
Having sustained a injury to my knee,I was able to make an appointment with Dr Porter with very little delay.The receptionist was welcoming and I was seen again without much waiting.The The x-rays were completed without delay, and Dr Porter and his assistant discussed the findings and treatment throughly.I was very pleased with his diagnosis, demeanor and thoroughness.
I appreciate the care that I have received under the service rendered by my doctor, Dr. Porter. The staff, as well as the general atmosphere there leads one to feel comfortable and safe. It is important to be in the care of true professionals that blend their sense of professionalism and compassion that allows one to feel hopeful in the recovery process. Give them a try, the decision to do so can put you in the right hands, and don’t forget Dr. Porter. I highly recommend his care.
Dr. Pitcher provided excellent diagnostic & treatment information. His expertise, intelligence, & genuine concern about his patient are obvious from the point of introduction. He makes the treatment of a condition a collaborative effort by the patient & the physician. I wish all physicians would practice medicine as he does.
Great doctors and quick appointments.
Very polite ,well known in the field of work and very knowledgeable about their craft. I feel very secure to be in such great care by golden state orthopedic
Great surgeon I'm walking because of Dr. Porter. Kind and makes me feel at ease whenever I went to see him. and a good listener. And took me as his patient when my original surgeon left. Thank you Dr. Porter
I had A great experience with my care Provider. He relieved my pain.
Very Knowledgeable about my medical diagnosis, treatment, and the workers comp network. Always professional, respectful and understanding
My doctor listens. The staff is supportive. I never have problems getting appointments
The doctor and his staff are very accommodating and very caring and answered all the questions that I had for them thank you Dr Anthony Porter
Dr Eric Stuffmann put me at ease right away I felt like I would be in good hands... so to speak . I had surgery for a fractured humerus. He and his team were very responsive to my questions and concerns. I highly recommend Dr Stuffman, the support team and the PT team who make it fun and challenging. I will forever associate each of them with my recovery and am very thankful to have them on this journey. I sincerely doubt you could do better . Five stars and a finger snap !
I have seen several excellent orthopedic doctors at Webster (now Golden State Ortho) over the past 15+ years including Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Peatman, Dr. Tseng & now Dr. Talarico. I had an injury to my right foot/ankle (tendon rupture partially) that I had been dealing with since last September & I was trying to avoid surgery but it wasn't healing so Dr. Talarico surgically repaired it in April, and he did an excellent job. A foot surgery is a very tough recovery but with Dr. Talarico's help & guidance I'm walking pain free again. Dr. Talarico & his staff took excellent care of me. His staff is also excellent & so caring kind & helpful. Veronica his office assistant is awesome & Yolanda his surgical scheduler was very helpful when I had to change my surgery date. If you have any orthopedic issues I highly recommend these excellent doctors.
Dr Pitcher is the kind of Orthopedist you want. Very smart, caring, and articulate. He is a good listener, and while he is efficient with his time, one never feels rushed. He makes sure he has answered all your questions before ending the visit. I would give him six stars if I could!
Given the reason that I had to come here in the first place, I had as good of an experience as one can have. I've been a lifelong athlete with previous experience at a very high level of activity in martial arts. I suffered a knee injury that I had been nursing for a year that was preventing me from training in any significant way. I went to the Walnut Creek location and worked with Dr. Kevin Roth who was friendly, professional, and had my likely diagnosis after a short conversation and physical exam. Diagnostic imaging was scheduled within a week, done within two, and surgery was scheduled roughly 4 weeks after our initial consult. Unfortunately, I then suffered a separate injury a week before the surgery. I went to Golden State's associated orthopedic urgent care and it was determined that we would likely need to address the new injury first, and that it would also require surgery. Diagnostics for the new injury were done within one week and the surgery was done by Dr. Roth 12 days after the new injury. Throughout the whole process Dr. Roth was communicative, empathetic, and helped me adjust and feel comfortable with the new plan. I then worked with the rehab group in Walnut Creek so that we could expedite my recovery to finally get the knee surgery done. I worked with physical therapists Janelle and Will, who were both friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to my progress and goals. I was able to get the knee surgery done 3 months later and, though the recovery process is challenging, Dr. Roth, Will, and Janelle have been awesome in addressing my concerns and personally tailoring my individual recovery plan to my goals. I'm finally at a point where I've moved on from rehabilitation to reconditioning, which I've been doing with physical therapist Kelly at the Walnut Creek location. She is another wonderful member of the Golden State Ortho team and we are working towards getting me back to a high level of function (I'm hoping to get to a point where I can train with professional athletes again in the future). I would highly recommend Golden State Orthopedic, and just want to say thank you again to Dr. Roth, Janelle, Will, and Kelly. Martial arts have always been a big part of my life and the injuries were incredibly demoralizing. This team has given me that part of my life back and I'll be forever grateful.
Always a pleasure working with Dr Elrashidy! Been going to him for about three years now and have always had quality service, from appt set up to follow up. Thank you all for helping me regain confidence in my knee and shoulder!
This was the first time in my life that I sustained a significant injury. It was all very scary and new. I felt anxious that I couldn't walk and needed help. Dr. Elias Broheen was one of my doctors throughout my 6 month toe injury. He was very kind, answered all of my questions, never rushed me out of my appointment, filled out all the tedious paperwork I had to fill out for work and disability insurance. He was also very gentle with my toe wheb assessing it and listened to what I had to say. I had no idea that toe injuries took so long to heal. Dr. Broheen supported me all the way through and cheered me on! My job is very physical and requires me to walk 3 to 5 miles a day, and he made sure I felt comfortable and safe returning back to work. If I ever need another orthopedic referral I will definitely come back and see Dr. Broheen again!
I just got out of an MRI appointment with mark and Ann. They were amazing!! Getting an MRI is old hat for me, but when you have to stick your head in that thing it's a whole new ballgame. They took my anxiety from a 10 to a ZERO !!! I cannot thank them enough!!!
Absolute the best medical group I've had the experience assisting me. Dr Pitcher is awesome (Have the screws & titanium rod to prove it!) Many thanks to all.
Dr. Talarico treated me for a sports-related broken ankle last year. The severity of the displacement of the bone was near the cutoff where surgery/no surgery was a judgment call. Dr. T. initially thought it best to not have the surgery. But he offered to discuss my case with a few of his colleagues before we made a final decision. Later that evening he called me and said his colleagues changed his mind. Given how much sports are a part of my lifestyle, he thought surgery made sense and I agreed. I'm very grateful that he was willing to change his mind and make a different recommendation after thinking it over carefully. Dr. T. did the surgery and, after a typical recovery, physical therapy, etc. my ankle eventually recovered and got me back to playing again at full strength. Dr. Talarico is an experienced, professional surgeon and I would recommend him and Webster highly. He has a very direct, matter-of-fact and fast-paced style of communicating that I appreciate as an east coast transplant. Others may find the need to adjust to that, but I wouldn't be put off by it.
Every appointment I have here is smooth, the staff is friendly and accommodating, the Covid precautions are solid and I get what I need! Happy to come here to help heal from my injuries.
Webster Orthopedics is my go-to place whenever I have issues with bones, ligaments or joint pain. I've severe osteoarthritis in my feet. Dr. Talerico, MD has helped manage this pain and stiffness through Cortisone shots. We will try a surgery in 2023, that I hope will lessen how often I need these shots. Dr. Porter, M.D. is assisting with my prolonging the need for a total knee replacement and gave me an injection of Durolane, that has helped a great deal.
Great docs. Perfect location. These docs are busy and it's because they are good. Unfortunately- there is sometimes a wait but it is for a reason. Highly advanced treatments- I got a PRP injection from Dr. Elrashidy and am back to running. I broke my ankle and Dr. T fixed it- again- I am proof that you can return to activity after injuries. Seems like there may be some fake 1-star reviews if you dig deep. So sad.
Thank You , Dr. Ross H.Talarico DPM............... This Man took my ankle, which was broken and healed wrong. Did the surgery just had he explained, 8 screws and 1 plate. Therapy is going great and I'll be back to 100% in no time. Thank You so much again, for making me feel like Family.
This place is the best- not only because my foot surgeon, Dr. Talarico, practices here, but also for their organization, follow up, and timeliness with appointments. I recently had foot surgery, and the pre and post care was terrific. My husband has also been treated there for a hand problem and had the same experience. We would recommend Webster Ortho to anyone!
Friendly doctors who know their stuff!
I was a bit nervous reading past reviews, and prepared for a less than stellar experience at Webster Orthopedics. I am overjoyed my fears were put to rest. The staff was fantastic...the front desk woman was very helpful and kind, the chairs in waiting room were spaced out, and the place felt and smelled very clean. The nursing staff were all great, and Dr. Talarico was superb! He reviewed my x-rays and CT and explained everything to me in a caring and accessible way, and told me what I would need to do to avoid the possibility of surgery (I thought he might push me towards surgery, and was thrilled he did not!). The only thing to be aware of as a patient (always), is to pay attention to what the doctor says and what the nurse orders...there were 2 different minor things I had to correct the staff on after the doctor told me my next course of action. But that was so minor to the whole experience.
The best team in orthopedics ever, Dr. Peatman and NP Brian Costello. As a four decades long serious equestrian competitor, I've long felt the events of falls and injuries sustained from the physical demands of the sport. A myriad of complaints and pain that reduce my quality of life. Their treatment plan keeps me comfortable. I can't speak highly enough about the entire operation.
I am 4.5 months after a TKR with Dr Peatman I walk better than I have in years . I notice there seems to be doctors leaving not sure why . But Dr Peatman has been super . I researched who I wanted to do the surgery. I pretty much had my choice of any doctor any where . I can. Not be more than satisfied. He was great . Both before and after surgery always there and always available. Staff was great . Not a single negative comment to say . I have 125 percent range of motion and I am hiking . Still have some pain we will see att 6 months but as of know I can do things I could not 3 years ago
Best orthopedic practice in the Bay Area. Great group of docs. They understand injuries and how to heal people. Sometimes they are backed up - but it's only because there is so much demand for the docs in this practice. They are all experts in their field. Highly recommend.
After dropping a glass on foot and landing myself in the ER, Dr Talarico saw me promptly and provided excellent care and advice on whether surgery would be needed on my foot. He followed up within hours of my MRI and was extremely responsive and knowledgeable.
At the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown I tore my whole hamstring muscle group tendon completely off. Dr Steven Viess of Webster Orthopedics got me in to be seen quickly. The office is extremely Covid safe. He ordered an MRI on sight and got a quick surgery date. The procedure of reconnecting the tendon is difficult and involves working around the sciatic nerves. I had very little low grade pain and was referred to Webster's physical therapist Maggi Cary for Zoom visits. Maggi is very knowledgeable and provided me with a good regiment of exercise protocol. At six months out my leg is completely healed and I am hiking, swimming, biking, and carefully doing anything as normal. I am very great full and have the highest regard for Dr. Steven Veiss, orthopedic surgeon, and Maggie Cary, physical therapist, both of Webster Orthopedics.
I had seen Dr.Tallarico for an ankle collision. And during my first appointment everything went very well i took xrays an Mri and i had no problems. And then we had to wait to do the surgery because of the coronavirus but once i was able to it went smooth. We had a pre-op call and i got to ask the questions i wanted to know. And then surgery day i was nervous but everyone made me feel comfortable. Then before surgery i got to talk to the doctor and i was reassured on everything that was happening. After surgery everything felt good i wasn't in a lot of pain. For post-op and taking out stitches was very easy got in the waiting room got called back immediately and seen Dr.Tallarico i'm happy with the choice of webster orthopedics.
A sad series of events led to my complete tear of my right hamstrings. After a successful surgery, the therapist and aides helped me regain my strength and balance to about 90% of what I could do before. The rest is up to me, but 5K runs should be doable in a couple of months and 10K runs in a few more months after that. Black diamond ski trails definitely in 2020-2021. This 64 year old owes a lot to the competence and professionalism of the staff Webster Orthopedics to get me back on my feet and walking the hills of San Francisco again faster than I expected.
Awesome facility all the way around the board!!! Worry free when it comes to paperwork needing to be processed for work compensation etc. Great job!
My name is Lance Lesueur, and I am from Klamath Falls, OR., and if Doc Hasan was a rock star I would follow him as the “Dead Headers” followed the “Grateful Dead” throughout their career. Doc Hasan came to Klamath Falls for a short time to replace my previous orthopedic doctor Dr Wenner, who retired. Talk about big shoes to fill! Doc Wenner was not only a great surgeon but a person who really cared about our great community. Doc Wenner told me his replacement was going to be Dr. Hasan who was a fellow at the University of Washington and was top notch. When it came time to meet Doc Hasan in person, he walked into the exam room and I instantly liked him as confidence oozed from his pores and his aura told me he knew what he was doing. Wow. We started the process of him examining my back, and discussing treatment options. However, before we could co anything he decided to leave our community for the Bay Area of California. There was no way I was going to lose this doc, so I followed him to your clinic. We had our first meeting so that my wife could meet him because she just couldn’t understand why there were doctors an hour away and I wanted to travel 6 hours so that he could be the one to fix my back. My wife also has great guts and has never been wrong in sizing up people. He walked into the exam room and within minutes he won her over. YAY! After a pre op visit it was time for the surgery on November 4th at San Ramon Regional Medical Center, which was number one in every category but that is another Google Review. He went in from below my belly button, pulled my guts aside and put in two new discs between L-4=L-5 and L-5=S-1. I recovered for 4 days and he then fused my back using a relatively new technique of placing the screws on top of my skin and drilling through the muscle which was less invasive as it didn’t require the cut through the muscles on to get at the spine. All this was done in 6 nights at the hospital and then a 6 hour drive back to Klamath Falls a day later, which went remarkably well with less pain than expected. This is when I think he did his best work. He paid attention and was there to give advice from 300 miles away. Having my spine lifted so the nerves were not crushed was an amazing healing process, which was not bad except one night which was just painful as the freed up nerves were really ticked off. However the next morning I was good and I had livable pain the entire recovery process. Of course I was concerned and called him and a few hours later he called with the needed advice. Basically, the great news is that I can now feel my left foot without numbness or pain for the first time in 20 years. When I came back for our 6 week and 3 month checkup it was like coming home for Christmas. His nurse Kamaya meets you with the greatest smile and competence which all the staff have, and then the door opens and in walks one of the most competent smiles and auras in the world and all is good. Well I don’t think I want to give up on my groupie Dead Head Status for this man but I do need to add the fact that he walks on water according to this old Jar Head. Thanks Doctor Hasan for giving me a new gait without pain. Lance Lesueur
Dr. Talarico and the team at Webster orthopedics are amazing! They skillfully took care of my foot with patience, expertise and plenty of good humor. Each team member went above and beyond to make sure I was informed about the healing process and had zero wait times. Thank you all for getting me back on my feet!
I always consult Yelp and usually find it invaluable. This was not one of those times. After reading the reviews for WO, I was not looking forward to my appointment. WO sent me many text reminders for my appointment as well as a web-based tool to document my medical history, etc (as opposed to the usual first appointment sheets of paper) and I started but did not finish filling them out. They suggested I get there 15 minutes early to make sure everything was in order...I didn't do that. They also suggested that I bring my MRI on a disk. Amazingly, I did do that. You can tell that I'm not an ideal patient so far. I came in about 3 minutes before my appointment time. The person at the desk was pleasant and thankfully non-judgy about my inability to do two of the three things they asked of me beforehand. She gave me an iPad and I sat and finished the forms and drank fairly delicious coffee that they provide in the waiting room. I noticed a screen behind the desk giving the wait times for the various doctors. At 8:30 AM (they open at 8), all were on time in spite of people like me. Upon finishing my "paperwork" (painless but I was a bit irked about having to enter credit card info), I was called in. I gave my MRI disk to the assistant. She asked if I had x-rays and I said no. She said that I'd need them and since I was a Workmen's Comp claim, no payment was expected from me as it is handled through the WC insurance. I was immediately taken in for the films. The tech was pleasant and efficient and I was pleased that I didn't have to strip down. I was in and out in 10 minutes. I took note that all of the employees I interacted with (and even ones I didn't) seemed happy and pleasant and seemed to really get along well with each other. I was then shown in to an exam room and Dr. Eric Stuffmann came in a minute later. He ran down my case verbally with me instantly and I was immediately pleased. I expected to get the blank look. He went over my x-rays and MRI with me and gave me an unhurried and thorough exam. He dictated notes into a Alexa-like device and then answered my 58 questions in great detail often referring back to the x-ray or MRI. I was there for a second opinion and didn't feel he was looking for "more work" from me nor did I feel he was agreeing with the first opinion out of rote. He was the pinnacle of professionalism and obviously extremely skilled. If you read his bio for his education and training, it's impressive and tailor made for my specific injury. All in all, this was the most positive experience I've had with a physician in decades. I reserve the right to come back and edit this review if I get charged for anything that I'm not expecting but short of that, I can't recommend Dr. Stuffmann highly enough.
The longest I've waited past my appointment time is 10 minutes (once). Most times I am called into an exam room early. All of the front counter staff are warm, friendly, and helpful. They are always smiling (genuinely) and do not make you feel rushed or like you're a burden to them. I have had two shoulder surgeries here (Dr. Eric Stuffman) and they are the best medical experience I've had,. Ever.
The physical therapists and interns at this center are 5 star!! Robb has a keen eye and expects active participation from his patients. The comradely amongst the staff creates a good vibe in this wellness center. Management needs to address the lack of physical therapist in this business. I was shocked at how difficult it was to get an appointment in the Oakland area. All centers were booked 3-4 weeks in advance. Two weeks post ACL/miniscus surgery was my first PT session. It was easier to get a surgery date then a physical therapy appointment. Management gets 1 star. 5 star staff and 3 star management. This gives the review a 4 star rating. Sincerely, WSC
I am thankful for Webster Wellness Center (physical therapy) for helping me regain mobility and strengthen my ankle. Rob and Alex were a great team, keeping the fun and helping me with my recovery. Hopefully i will not get anther injury but if I do and or have to refer someone to PT, I will definitely recommend Webster Wellness Center and Dr. Rob!
I had a good e experience with Dr. Robert Lynn PT I had gone to Dr. Richard's orthopedic surgeon for pain in my left shoulder and the MRI disclosed adhesive capsulitis. Dr. Lynn used various muscle stimulation techniques and my range of motion has increased daily and I will go back. I'm 67 and try to stay active.
On yesterday, 10/7/2019, I put out a yelp on Webster Orthopedics, highlighting my amazing surgical team & experience. I feel that it is necessary to also uplift the PT team, at Webster Wellness Center Oakland. To start, I selected this group, after my first AND second knee replacement. After the first knee replacement, I wrote a detailed review on my last day and placed it in the box provided. After leaving, I had a feeling that it wasn't enough. I wanted more people to know about my excellent experience that I'd endured for each and every appointment. I wanted to tell all how I was greeted with smiles upon entry, and how I was always motivated to not give up during each session, even if I wasn't up to it on that day or at that time. Robert Lin was the physical therapist that I worked with the most, however, if he was out, or booked, then I'd work with any, without disappointment. From the front desk, to the assistants, to the therapists; I've never felt slighted. I can honestly say that each of them maintained a pleasant, yet professional, down to earth personality. I noticed that they work as a close-knit family. This only made me feel more comfortable. During healing, what more could I ask for? I feel that one should be in touch with their mental as well as the physical during this vulnerable time. Body changes & healing pain in general, can be a lot to deal with. Webster Wellness Center Oakland is the right setting & has the right structure for such, as the views are amazing and the staff lifts you up continuously. The individuals that make up this place are patient oriented indeed, and will continue to do what they need to, in order to strengthen you, and bring you back to wellness. I will totally do a commercial for them if I could. I recommend this group again & again for physical therapy! Thank you guys for everything!
I had a left ankle surgery with Dr. Talarico April 26, 2019. I received all the appropriate pre-post care from his clinic and many thanks to the coordinator Argentina for making sure everything went by smooth. Dr. Talarico is very knowledgeable and explain all the process and procedure in detail. After my surgery my pain was controlled, and I did not need medication after a week. The staff from the clinic followed up with a phone call to check how I was doing which made me feel cared for. I would recommend Dr. Talarico and his staff as your primary podiatry surgeon. I would like to thank Dr. Ross Talarico for his care and getting me back on my feet.
All the staff are efficient and cheerful. The first doctor I was there awhile back has alas retired but I went again for a new thing and Dr. Roth was straight up honest about the fact that I'm basically just getting old and can only try to keep it from getting worse. He didn't recommend the surgery that I didn't really want anyway. And yes, I'll be good and go to PT and all that. But I also unexpectedly got a cortisone shot from Ebony, and she is really good at doing it - and I've had injections that were not done so well in the past so I appreciated it.
Love/hate relationship. Beware of incurring ANY credit card purchases. When it was refund time, told it takes 8 weeks to reverse a $900 charge. Ridiculous. But love Dr Roth, Tinsley, Maurice and their care. Go for the doctors. Beware the billing. After unanswered phone calls and a letter, I did get a call back and my money was refunded 2 weeks later. Hope they fix the billing process because there is not a better doctor anywhere than Dr Roth. Caring, compassionate, conservative, and fabulous results.
I just came back from seeing Dr. Peatman for a consult about my arthritic knee. Wait time was minimal. Staff is friendly, courteous and efficient. Dr. Peatman looked at my exrays and gave me several options, which he explained carefully and helped me make a decision without pressuring me. Highly recommend!
So far they have taken care of a broken elbow and broken wrist. The wrist required surgery to install a plate. Now going to specialized hand therapy. Did I mention they are also treating me for arthritis in my knees. Very happy with the care by doctors, physician assistants, and other crew. Always greeting graciously and treated well through visits which have included X-rays. Big benefit to have X-rays available on site. The Wellness Center provides a range of therapies. Down side is it can be difficult to get on the schedule.
I had a very positive experience with the overall service. I wrote a more detailed review of Dr. Tseng.
Dr. Thomas Peatman has performed arthroscopic surgery on both my right and left hips. The left hip was due to an injury, and the right hip was to fix a minor case of dysplasia. Operations are never fun, but he ensured that both times were smooth and pleasant experiences. He is very caring and professional, along with his assistant Brian. If you must have orthopedic surgery, I highly recommend him!
Don't be dismayed by the wait time. Dr. Tseng is an excellent spine surgeon. He was thorough and provided information that was necessary before I agreed to back surgery. My recovery was easy and now I can walk around Lake Merritt without pain or having to stop.
The folks at Webster wellness have been great. Recovery from shoulder surgery is NOT easy. Working with Rob, Matt and Jo I am making steady progress. The are very encouraging and professional. Ice and electric stimulation after physical therapy is, sadly, one of the best parts of my day.
Dr. Talarico is pretty darn good and I'd go to him again, in fact, I'd request him. The negative review he received was understandable BUT it was about bedside manner, not his skill, and he is indeed very skilled, he performed my foot surgery and I'm happy thus far... During my first visit, he DID seem rushed and it was clearly a busy day but I was satisfied overall. My surgery date fit my asap timeline and it went very well (displaced fracture/5mm/5th metatarsal/some bone fragments). My healing is going great. I saw him again for my cast and he was friendly, patient, and didn't seem rushed at all - the clinic was less busy too, clearly relative. He suggested swimming to me as well but that was to be during recovery. I'm a 46-year-old female - I run, dance, and skateboard often - he assured me I'll be doing all of those things once healed which will be a 12-week process. Now, about the clinic... The first visit took a long time and the place was packed - chop shop packed. The second visit (mentioned above) was easy and fast and not as crowded. They were great with my insurance and I am satisfied. Life experience has taught me that normal variables make a difference in service so I'm more patient than most but I'm also fairly smart, particular, and shrewd. In summary, I would do this all again but let's hope I never have to.
Webster is the Best !
I rehabed my left thumb with Liz, and she was AMAZING! The site and staff were awesome, super friendly and accessible. Liz worked hard to help me recover from surgery, and I saw positive results week after week. She was easy going, friendly and approachable. She worked hard to keep me moving toward the goal of optimal health and mobility. I also found it easy to schedule ample times that fit my busy work schedule, and the automated reminder calls were super helpful. I highly recommend Webster Wellness Center for all your rehab needs!
Awesome doctors and staff this is where I was sent from worker Comp no problems
The Best of the Best! My husband had a accident mountain biking, I called them around 8 am the next day and got an appointment within an hour, and surgery in only a couple of days after learning that he needed surgery. There is never a long wait when you have an appointment . We really had a great experience and will definitely recommend them to family and friends. Thank you Dr. Roth!
I'm 67 and my hand is collapsing. I can't open a jar or hold on to anything heavy. I went to Dr. Richards at Webster Orthopedic looking for hope. Though the wait was long due to flu season among the Webster staff, they were all very sweet and patient with those of us who lacked that trait. The doctors assistant showed me into a room, took the necessary data and off I went to Ex Ray, of both hands! They were great. It didn't take long to meet the charming Dr. Richards. He spent at least 15 minutes with me explaining (essentially that I was old though in a very nice way) I had arthritis in both hands and the only treatment was protheses to relieve pain or surgery causing a great deal of pain and a year of recovery (not). So this is a very positive review, right? Not quite. Dr. Richards said I could purchase a prothesis from his office for $20. I'm familiar with the prothesis they use as a result of my own research prior to my appointment. The one his office promotes costs $35 on the internet. So I agreed to take one. My bill for the protheses was $270. My cost after my insurance coverage paid their share was $166. I was stunned to say the least. I went back to the office immediately and spoke to Dr. Richard's nurse. She said she would discuss it with Dr. Richards and get back to me. I received a revised invoice showing $5 due and was happy. Three weeks later I received another revised invoice for $188. I called the office and was told to disregard; they would get back to me. They did with a dunning notice for $188. Though I have high regard for the medical services provided by this doctor and practice, I strongly advise against agreeing to purchase anything directly from them without researching competitive costs on your own.
I had back surgery with Dr. Michael Tseng. The only thing I regret is not doing this earlier. I was in excruciating pain for six months. Dr. Tseng advised first more conservative approached like physical therapy. When that didn't work, he talked to me about surgery. He was matter of fact and non-pushy at all. I went for surgery at 12 PM, and I was walking out at 5 PM. I went back to exercise, and I feel great. Thanks, Dr. Tseng, you gave me my life back. Isabel Zaror
Super friendly and professional service. They even accommodated a difficult schedule and booked me last minute. Knowledgeable staff. I recommend them
Greetings Webster Wellness Center oh Webster Wellness Center: Thank you thank you for all that you did for me . Liz and Lisa thank you so very much. Because of you two I am able to use my right hand and my right wrist while I write this YELP ! You two and your co-workers really made me no I mean made my wrist feel so much stronger and where it use to be. Thank you thank you both once again. Yes, I am sticking with my therapy on a daily basis. Wishing you all peace, prosperity, and health!
I can't say enough about Webster Ortho pedicure. Everyone is great and I would definitely recommend if you happen to break anything. ☺Dr Richards is the best he got me back to work in no time. Thank you everyone!
Staff is always courteous and friendly . You get assisted in a timely and efficient manner . I've had a dozen or so Mris at different places through past several years . TODAYS EXPERIENCE was by far the best . Their radiologist Mark was very helpful , assisted me quickly and made the entire process seamless and comfortable .
Doctors and staff are very professional. It's nice to find doctors that know what they are doing! I would recommend to any of my friends or family. The only bad thing is the parking garage, it can get a bit pricey.
I am midway through a complicated wrist surgery and recuperation and could not be happier with my experience thus far. I am seeing Dr. Richards and his staff from the front desk to the physicians assistant have been thoughtful and professional and sincerely care about my physical and mental well-being. Accidents and managing medical care can be a stressful enough situation so it is wonderful to find a group of people dedicated to making that ordeal as easy to process as possible. As for quality of care, don't take my word for it. Do your homework and you will see that Dr. Richards and his partners are well respected and often referred to. I could not be happier and fully recommend this medical establishment.
I've visited this office several times, and have never had a significant wait. Today, I barely had time to sit down after checking in before they called me into an examination room, and the PA was in to see me within a minute. I've also had excellent care from Dr Roth and PA Lilles. Dr Roth performed surgery to install a metal plate on my broken clavicle, and did an excellent job. The aftercare and followup have been great as well.
I luckily discovered Dr. Stuffman for my broken wrist. The first thing he did was to replace the Mickey Mouse "cast" used by another doctor at a different local orthopedic group. Dr. Stuffman did the repair surgery at Eden Hospital. All went well. He is caring without any god persona. He is skilled and competent--which today, cannot be said about many with medical degrees. For example, Stanford University cranks out MD's from their "special program." We know of one who went to elementary school with family, who scored 20% on her MCATs and D's in organic chemistry. BUT....she fills a quota and Stanford gets gov $$$ to push her through. I wouldn't let her remove a splinter from my dog's ass. Sadly, this forces people like us to research and seek qualified professionals like Dr. Stuffman.
I love this doctor office
I was lucky enough to be Dr. Salypongse's patient!! He did my hip replacement in December of 2015 and knee surgery in March 2016. He is a miracle worker!!! My hip was so bad that the hip socket had disintegrated and the bone was popping out when I would walk. I was in so much pain and so depressed and I didn't feel that I would ever be normal again or be able to walk normal!! I was so scared to have the surgery, but the doctor and his amazing staff made me feel very comfortable and safe!! I was up and walking four hours after my surgery and now I have absolutely NO pain in my hip at all!!! It is truly a miracle and I was so happy to be a part of his clientele! He is truly a big bright shining star and he has the most wonderful bedside manner!!! He never rushes you out of the office, answers all of your questions and makes you feel like a person, and he is there to help you get your life back!! He was just as wonderful when I had my knee surgery, but because of the extreme injury that I obtained, it wasn't as much of a homerun like the hip surgery. I completely trust his advice and opinion and would recommend him with the highest regard to any patient that needs orthopedic help!!! I just love him so much and I thank him for his wonderful care!!! Thank you, Dr. Sal!!! You are the best in my book!! - Cheri R.
Doctor Richards knows his stuff. Going into the first surgery of my life, his caring and extreme confidence completely eased my worrying. The surgery went perfectly and Dr. Richards monitored my healing process closely, always helping me understand what was happening and what to expect next. I feel very lucky that I got him to put my elbow back together.
I highly recommend Dr. Roth. He performed my shoulder surgery in May 2016 - open biceps tenodesis and three other arthroscopic procedure, including debridement and rotator cuff repair. He and his staff are amazing. They are very personable and really listen to your concerns and goals for recovery. Dr. Roth and his PA Shawn were great to deal with and his assistant Sabrina is one-of-a-kind. She was so helpful in getting my disability started and getting me any form I needed lightning fast. I was also very pleased with his surgical staff at Pleasanton surgery center. They provided very personal care that was top notch - they even put on music with my personal music preference to calm my nerves before surgery. I have made an excellent recovery so much faster than anticipated. I would trust Dr. Roth and his staff for any of my orthopedic needs.
I went in for an MRI today, I was impressed by the quality of service. Normally I shy away from medical groups but the experience at Webster orthopedics in Dublin blew my mind. Scheduling the appointment was a piece of cake Karissa Cassina will work with you, she's awesome. Parking was easy. Front staff uber courteous. When it comes to the MRI, Doug Kloppenburg is your tech. He's mindful of ones pain, kind friendly and knowledgeable. If you are in need of an MRI this is the place to go.
I really appreciate the prompt and effective response from the site manager Carol at the Dublin office. She took a proactive approach to this situation. Typically they fit the patient for the Polar Care harness at the pre-op appointment but no decision was made by the patient (my son) at that time to get the device. It is not typical that someone else comes back later to get the device. So I understand what happened and I really appreciate their concern for the unusual situation. I am impressed that this was quickly addressed to achieve a successful outcome. Thank you. Good job Carol and your staff!
Dr. Richards and his assistant Sue were wonderful. Feeling better already
Dr stuffman did surgery on my wrist for a break from a fall and Patricia was my hand therapist for 6 months - I really appreciated the whole office for their on time appointments - I never waited to see them. The front desk staff are always polite and helpful. The lobby has coffee and tea and a tv and lots of chairs. It's a busy office but well managed, and pleasant. Thanks Webster!
Dr Salyapongse is a class above the rest!!! My husband had a hip replacement done by Dr Salyapongse and it went so smoothly. Before the surgery, the doctor and his staff made sure we knew exactly what to expect and there were NO surprises. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!!!!
I've been very happy with Dr. Viess and his assistant Morgan. I cannot tell you how valuable Morgan is! She takes care of approvals and insurance and always promptly returns calls--it's almost unheard of these days. The record keeper Melanie in Walnut Creek is also super--she's very proactive in sending records! Oh yeah, Dr. Viess is no slouch, either :)
Thank you Webster Orthopedics for a very smooth experience. Excellent office of professionals. Very helpful and knowledgeable!
I have been meaning to write a review about Dr Sproul for the last 3 months. Excellent Doctor. Nice person, upbeat, and just an all around positive Doctor. okay now......... San Ramon office vs Dublin office. Drive to Dublin office... MUCH BETTER STAFF, care and wait times!!!!
So I had to wait until my second hip surgery was performed to write my comments.. If you know me personally you know that I am the worlds biggest skeptic. I never was one to trust what I read, hear , or told unless I personally experienced it for myself. First to start off with the girls that greet the patients at the front desk...AWESOME! Very professional and sweet. The office caters to their patients. The chairs are high for patients who just had knee, hip, or any other orthopedic surgery. Now the MA's are fantastic also.. Thanks Matt. Now the surgeon Dr.Aaron Salyapongse he is a God sent. Very professional and good at what he does. I have debilitating Rheumatoid Arthritis and has been dealing with painful flares-ups for two years and the alternative option was hip surgery since the biologics stop working. I was at a point in my life that I was wiling to try anything. I was very blessed to have Dr. Salyapongse be the surgeon to perform the anterior total hip replacements for both hips. The Left in October 2014 and the right in January 2015. Now I am bionic and good in regards to my hips. Recovery was just a few days until my RA decided to move into different joints...( another story). I just can not let another day go by without expressing how ecstatic and satisfied with my decision to pursue the surgery with Webster Orthopedics and Dr. Salyapongse. HE IS ONE OF THE FEW PHYSICIANS THAT HAVE A BEDSIDE MANNER!!! Also most importantly he is blessed with his talent of operating. He immediately came a saw all his patients after surgery in the hospital and made sure we where attended to and that all are request were met and made sure we were not in pain post operative. I can not fail to mention his right had "Gal" Robin Mercer his Physician Assistant. I know that she is very skilled and loves working with Dr.Salyapongse to provide the best care to her patients. I highly recommend this practice for your orthopedic needs and if you need joint replacement for hip or knees... Dr. Salyapongse is your guy... Trust me. His assistant is awesome also.... KIM YOU ARE ON TOP OF YOUR GAME !!! They also have movies playing on their tv and suckers for you if you want and also tea and coffe!!! The little things make a big impact
This is an extremely efficient office. Webster is one great place--very pleasant, very efficient. My surgeon, Dr Schwarz, is obviously an expert in his field, and was very helpful in explaining the fracture, and how he could fix it. I felt extra confident that i am in excellent hands. The PA, Josef Meier, was similarly very knowledgeable and helpful. Not to be outdone, the surgery coordinator, "Christy," also was very pleasant and efficient in setting up my surgery--the very next day after I saw them! You can't do any better than that! See the surgeon one day, arm fixed the next! Yea! I am very pleased with their medical knowledge. If you have to break an arm, be sure to do it near Webster! I would write more, but I have to get ready for the surgery tomorrow. Surgery update: the surgery went incredibly smooth. For a few days my arm was pretty swollen, but that was expected. Then I went into physical therapy. I worked with a hand specialist, Debbie, asssted by Eric. I have made very great progress. My range of motion is much improved just after a few physical therapy sessions. At my very first physical therapy appointment, the staff was having a potluck, which they invited me to. The squash casserole was excellent! I did not know that my insurance copay included free casseroles and free potluck lunches, but I was very grateful to discover this. Honestly, it's hard to say enough good things about Webster. I won't say that I was happy that I broke my arm. But it wasn't too bad after all. And I'm still thinking about that squash casserole.
I've been seeing Dr. Sproul for some time. I am trying to get weight off in order to be better able to have knee surgery. He always takes time with me to address my problems. I have seen him for both knees. my back, hip and shoulder. I think he is totally amazing and his staff is awesome. Monica will always help with what you need.
Just been to Webster Orthopedics in Dublin, AMAZING. From the second I walked in the door till I left and feeling very happy with the service from all. The front desk girls were so helpful, the nurse and Doctor were so kind and explained everything to me. I was treated within 20 min. I am a happy girl after being there. I would recommend going here 100%. One more thing, they have amazing coffee :-)
I just visited Webster Orthopedic in Dublin this morning due to excruciating knee pain I was having the night before. I even fell down the floor of my bedroom when I got up due to the pain. We called Webster Ortho to make an emergency appointment , but my regular doctor, Dr. Salyapongse is off until next week . I told the receptionist that I can take any of their doctor available. Luckily, P.A of Dr. Salyapongse was able to squeeze me to her busy schedule.it was so nice of her and all the staff in the office. I got a relief after the steroid shot, and they have to schedule my surgery because it is long overdue. My right knee is bone to bone and Dr. Salyapongse told me before that I am a candidate for knee surgery. I like to give a special commendation to Robin Fuessenich for doing an exceptional job, so with the rest of the staff who have excellent customer service, from the caring receptionist, Kim, the surgery Scheduler and everyone in the office. I can not thank you enough for the wonderful job well done. God bless you all and may you have a Happy and blessed Easter. All the best, Benedicto Martin 4/17/14
I had back surgery at Webster Orthopedics with Dr. Vikram Talwar which was a great success. His staff is extremely helpful and friendly. My recovery has been very good. I would highly recommend using Dr. Talwar and I know I will be in the future.
I saw Dr. Salyapongse today for an injection in my hip. He did the best injection ever. I didn't even feel it. I was a little nervous, but he made me feel assured I wouldn't feel a thing. He was correct.! I had a great experience. Dr. Salyapongse is the best!
Dr Vikram Talwar at Webster Orthopedics He is awesome, specializes in backs, so although he is with Webster each Doctor has their own specialty. Dr Talwar had to do a fusion on my 21 yr old son after he developed fractures in his low back playing soccer. Dr Talwar did the fusion in May of 2012 and this fall he is back playing college soccer. He also did a 2 level neck fusion on me in June and the pain was almost immediately relieved. I only stayed in the hospital overnight. Awesome doctor and his PA Jennifer is great too.
Excellent experience at Webster Orthopedics. I injured my shoulder over the weekend and the pain is so terrible I decided to see a specialist vs. regular doctor. I was skeptical based on some of the yelp reviews. They fit me in the same day and I found the staff to be very friendly. I met with Dr. Schwartz who is friendly but very focused. He does not seem to be the type that will spend the first few minutes chatting it up about personal matters which in this case was fine with me. I was worried about timing when he ordered xrays but they do them right on the spot and then within 5-10 min you are back with the doctor. Amazing! Kudos to the front desk and the xray technician. Quite possibly the friendliest staff I have encountered in the East Bay. Here is my advice - if you are worried about time just ask the front desk how long the wait will be. They will tell you if the doctor is running behind. My wait was not very long but I did ask when I checked in.
End of Feb. 2013 did a number on my left ankle and foot. Had x-rays and yes problem. referred to Webster. Dr. Tang saw me incredible in his medical advice. Boot--24 hrs etc. see him in two weeks. Well a week later not watching what I was doing in boot fell and broke my right wrist! Called Webster--they had me come in--I drove-- Dr. Tang was over whelmed with patients---but they got me x-rayed--and yes I did do the break and a bad one---Dr. Tang talked about the options and we determined surgery the best---he scheduled it that night---after he three other surgeries that afternoon---at 11:15 pm he was in the recovery room with me---such care! My wrist is fantastic---am very grateful--the care and concern for me was outstanding! My lucky day was to meet Dr. Tang. Sharon K. Miller
Dang... I was used to visiting the San Ramon office... This place blows that one out of the water... Beautiful sitting area, great rooms, very relaxing and awesome place to come to (just wish the reason I was there wasn't for such a serious injury... boo to that...), now if we can only convince Webster Ortho himself (Or herself? Is Webster a she? Hmmmm....) to re-do the San Ramon office....
I had a work related injury and was referred to Webster Orthopedics for carpal tunnel surgery. Dr. Schwartz and his staff were very professional and my surgery was very quick and hassle free. When it came time for 6-weeks of physical therapy, Webster has the best staff in the area! Patricia was extremely helpful, careful and sensitive with the therapy she provided. I'm healing quickly, and I can guarantee it's because of her knowledge and expertise. Patricia's colleague Hannah is fantastic and very personable. Together, this team is a win for Webster and I feel fortunate to have had a great experience all around. Very, highly recommended!
I currently go to the San Ramon office. Dr Schwartz and his staff are amazing. They take the time to listen and do not rush you! Im very glad that I was sent to his office as I have had other offices not listen to how I felt about things. The surgery center here in pleasanton was wonderful also. Very kind and patient
Recent surgery for a hip replacement was done by Dr. Salyapongse. Remarkably competent with an excellent bedside manner. His method has me walking with minimal assistance in 1 week. The office staff is always friendly.
Dr Demorest was very nice to see me as an adult, she usually see just kids. She recommended an x-ray, said it looked OK and that I needed Physical therapy. My hip/groin sprain (from tennis) is healing nicely but slowly and is now much improved. She is a great person to see if you have an injury and need to find out what the problem is, and she does not do surgeries(I believe). So I felt like I received a very competent exam and great care.
My mom needed her second knee replaced. After a horrible experience with another doctor and hospital, we had her switch to Dr Donnelly. He is a caring, patient, and wonderful doctor. The experience has been 100% different this time. He actually took interest in her recovery and takes the time to spend with my mom and all our questions I would definitly recommend Dr. Donnelly.
I'm a big fan of the entire Webster Orthopedic Group!! Everyone that works there is completely involved and cares about making you better. Dr. Talwar will fight for you in order to get you the treatment you need. His PA, Jennifer is just as amazing and truly cares about patients. Giselle is always happy and tends to matters in a timely manner. On the physical therapy side of the house, Julie is a wonderful therapist and knows what she's doing. I can't speak highly enough about this group. The only downside, is that you can spend a lot of time in the waiting room for your doctor appointment. Emergencies and surgeries seem to come up a lot and you have to wait.
Dr. Salyapongse performed a total hip replacement on me. He is probabaly one of the top orthopedic surgeons specializing in hip and knee replacement in the Country. Due to circumstances he choose to use the posterior approach. The surgery was performed on April 15th. I was discharged on April 17th and walked a1/4 mile on the 18th unassisted (without walker); my first full day at home. One week after the surgery I walked 1 1/2 miles. I would like to add I live on the second floor. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Salyapongse and his staff; Robin (PA-C), Alyssa and Juanita. They were all very attentive and responsive to my needs. Dr. Salyapongses operating team is definitely an A Team. He surrounds himself with individuals top in their field. The Dr. in charge of anaestesia is one of the best in the Bay. The Dr. doing follow up in recovery is triple board certified. By surrounding himself by the best, he increases his odds of a good and positive outcome. Thank you Dr. Salyapongse, I know you have a lot of people supporting but without you driving the procedure it may not have been as positive. He is truly a very gifted surgeon. Valley Health Care is one of the top rated Hospitals for joint replacement in the Country. Mike M
Dublin Office... Dr. Schwartz and his staff are simply the best. Thank you Dr. Schwartz, Jennifer, (PA) and Joseph (PA) for your expertise and professionalism. I am truly blessed to have you taking such good care of medical needs. I have been going to physical therapy weekly since 11/2012 to the present (04/19/2013). Patricia, Sarah and Debbie have been awesome... they all make me feel very special, as though I was their only physical therapy patient. They treat everyone with dignity and respect. The ladies at the front desk are terrific as they are very friendly and greet everyone as they come into the office. Thank you Jesus for bringing them all into my life.
I had carpal tunnel surgery and was referred to the therapy group in Dublin. I can't say enough about Patricia and her assistant Hanna they are a fabulous team! They have really helped me during this difficult time. The duo have went beyond the call of duty. Very professional and very caring, I feel special and cared for during my visits. Stay the GREAT team that you are!!!
I had a ski accident and tore my ACL ligament. A friend of mine, whose wife had the same surgery, recommended me to come to this office to see Joseph R. Donnelly... and I'm very glad I did. The office is very clean and new. Joseph R. Donnelly and Lauren Adler are very professorial in what they do. To me they are the best ! They made me feel very safe and confident that everything will be good and I will be able to go back to my normal life very soon. Joseph R. Donnelly took the time to explain everything that needs to be done, answered every question and concern I had. Lauren was able to set me up with MRI on the same first visit. Before the surgery I was able to walk around in a cast that actually was delivered to my house by one of office representatives. Lauren was great on answering all of my questions and assisting me on the phone before and after the surgery. My Surgery went really well and my knee is healing great :-) I get comments at PT place that my scars are really small comparing to others :-) After the surgery DR. Donnelly gave me a video and pictures of the surgery, explained everything and insured that all went well. I felt like I was a part of a sport team and I was one of the athletes :-) It has been 4 weeks now after surgery and I can walk again ! Thank you so much Dr Donnelly and Lauren for all your great help !
We have had a good experiences with both the Webster Orthopedics offices we have visited, but have had an EXCELLENT experience with the Dublin office. We were referred by our pediatrician for my daughters hand issues, when we arrived I was ready to be there all morning- to my surprise we were in and out in under an hour! Unheard of! Within that hour we saw Dr. Schwartz, were sent for x-rays (in office), met with the Dr. Schwartz again to read the x-rays, sent to the casting room where the ortho tec Victor was not only compliant, but kind and gentle with a very hurting hand. I am amazed every time we enter that office with their efficiency. From the staff at the front desk, to the tec who walks you to the dr's office, to the Dr. himself (Dr. Schwartz is the best!!!!), back to the tec, to the x ray tecs (also very compliant and efficient), to back to the Dr., then off to Victor the ortho tec, and finally to Conner at the back desk to set up out next appointment (a very nice gent I might add). To think of all the hands that we pass through while in the office and still they maintain an efficiency and personal touch of a small clinic. Overall it was it was a wonderful experience- and although I hope to never have to see them again (who wants another broken bone) I am confidant if we do have to, Webster Orthopedics will be our first choice.
The Docs abd staff at Webster's are FABULOUS! Dr Veiss took care of BOTH of my kid's broken arms. He is caring and very sweet with the kids, and very competent and communicative. When my son broke his arm I went straight to my pediatrician and they had us into X-Ray at Webster's within a 1/2 hour! My children's pediatrician called me the the first business day after the accident to make sure my child was OK. Webster had made sure she got the X-Rays and was aware of what was going on! I cannot say enough about these guys, they are great. Thank you Webster Orthopedic- you guys are the best. p.s. The XRay tech Michael I think, was adorable with both my son and daughter, just so kind and sweet and playful.
Much thanks to Dr. Aaron Salyapongse and his team at Webster Orthopedics from me and my mother. Below are my mother's words after receiving a total hip replacement last April. This is to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Salyapongse and his staff at Webster Orthopedics in Pleasanton for their care, concern, skill and expertise. A total hip replacement has freed me from pain and allowed me to once again participate in activities denied me in a wheelchair. Now I'm on my feet again and walking! "Thank you" is really inadequate for all you have done for me and therefore my eternal gratitude to Dr. Salyapongse and his team! Joyce Normandin
I am writing this review on behalf of Dr Salypongseand his staff. Dr. Salypongse performed knee replacement surgery on my left knee on August 30, 2010. I was in the hospital for four days and then home to physical therapy and eventually as an out patient. Within 4 weeks I was walking up to a mile using crutches only as a safety measure and within 6 weeks I was walking up to two miles using a cane for stability. In addition I was working out on the eliptical maching for 30 minutes and doing mile leg presses. I have several friends who have had this surgery and had real problems, sometimes resulting in a need for a second replacement surgerey. I have only the highest praise for Doctor Salypongse and his staff. As a surgeon Dr. Salypongse is absolutely first rate from initial consultation through the surgery and recovery and with follow up examinations. The staff must be included and I can't remember all the names but Katie made the arrangement with the insurance company and there were no surprises. Jamie, Physicians Assistant showed professionism and care, particularly when follow upp visits were made necessary due to an automobile accident in January. My recommendations are the highest for Dr. salypongse and his staff.
Webster Orthopedics is very high tech and the staff is amazing. Dr. Donnelly and his nurse Gail are great. He has treated two of my injuries. Last week they had me in and out of there in one hour and I had an exam, x-ray, evaluation AND a cortisone shot. AMAZING!
