Dr Bader was straight forward with my diagnosis and to do everything possible before surgery. Therapy and a cortisone injection to give it two months before the next visit.

I had a great experience with my orthopedic physician. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming. The doctor was incredibly caring, attentive, and took the time to listen to my concerns. I truly felt heard and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Doctor Bader was very thorough in finding out what cause of my symptoms were. He made sure I understood the cause and what my treatment options were. Now I understand why he is a top surgeon.

Dr. Bader came by and met my mother right after being admitted. He personally called and told us what will be done before and after surgery . A follow up appointment went smoothly. My mother recovered very fast. She was fortunate that the nice , skillfull doctor was assigned to perform the surgery. Thank.you Dr. Baden.

Absolutely Great job with fixing my shoulder. Recovered quicker than expected, thank you Dr. Bader!

I am so happy that I have met Dr. Bader. He operated on my shoulder that had been torn and separated due to a fall. He is very friendly, professional, courteous, and very caring and meticulous. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. With Dr. Bader, you are in good hands!

This was only my my 2nd visit with Dr. Bader. I have severe pain in my left shoulder that I went to my GP for and they ordered an x-ray and also ( a few days later ) an MRI which showed a partial tear of my rotator cuff with tendinitis, bursitis and some arthritis as well. Dr. Bader felt that I did not need surgery at that time so we went with physical therapy and ice/heat and home exercises to try to let it heal. After 4 months of PT I did not make any progress so my 2nd visit with Dr. Bader he also let me know I had a sizeable amount of bone spurs. I decided to go with surgery and Dr. Bader was extremely helpful in helping me to make this decision. Explained everything and what to expect during recovery. He is very kind and considerate and listens to everything you have to say. I put my full faith in Dr Bader to get me back to 100%.

Dr. Bader is a friendly, very knowledgeable physician. He immediately put me at ease and asked thorough questions to fully understand my medical issues. Dr Bader clearly discussed viable treatment options for my problem prior to considering surgery. He also recommended a path forward, if needed. My hip problems are improving as I am now able to do my exercises, and have resumed my walks. I have great confidence in Dr Bader and highly recommend his services. Carmen Grace

My experience with Dr. Bader was top-notch. Things went smoothly, and my recovery is going well. I highly recommend him as your surgeon!

My mom was recently seen by Dr. Bader for her shoulder pain. He is super knowledgeable , caring, detail oriented with excellent bedside manners. All of our questions were answered, and we did not feel rushed if we could give him 6 stars , we would! He is a rare find in this busy and impersonal health care world.

Excellent doctor that is very honest and gave me great advice and options instead of jumping into doing surgery. I highly recommend him. He is a very busy doctor so understand there is a reason for that it’s because he is good at what he does.

Dr Bader has given me 2 PRP SHOTS in each of my sitz bones for torn ligaments. It took a while to mend themselves but worth it in the long run.That was back in 2018. I just had a cortisol shot in my left knee and it seems to be helping with the pain. Overall very happy with the office and Dr care. Karen Doris

The best place ever good customer service, staff very friendly and helpfull , Dr Semon he is very knowledgeable and his experience make me feel comfortable talking to him , he is into detailes and has a good follow up with his patients. Thank you Dr Semon.

Great people take care of the patients

I met Dr Bader around 5-6 years ago when he rebuilt my LH Rotator Cuff. He made me so comfortable and was such a well informative doctor with a new patient that even though I have moved 3 hours away since then I am now traveling back to his locations to have the same treatment for my RH Rotator Cuff because of the trust that he and his team has given me. There aren't too many doctors out there that you can say, “I haven’t seen you in a while, I’ve missed you” and mean it, he is definitely one of the few.

Dr. Bader is a great surgeon. He is very kind and patient. He took good care and very attentive to his patients. I am very grateful to be under his care.

Dr. Bader is a kind, warm and skilled surgeon. My husband badly tore his rotator cuff tendons and Dr Bader worked arduously to repair the damage. He’s been encouraging and helpful during the recovery process. I highly recommend Dr. Bader.

Dr. Bader gave me the best care during my visit ! I would highly recommend him every time ! He’s compassionate with his patients and handles you with such great care !

Great doctor; explains everything, takes his time, appears to really care about you! My experience is most specialists are in love with themselves-this doctor treats you like you are family.

Dr. Bader was so kind and understanding. He knew exactly what was wrong and took care of my issue right away. Thank you Dr. Bader'

Top notch surgeon. By the end of my first appointment with him, I knew I was in great hands. He explained everything options pre up post up.

Thank you so very, very much, doctor bader

He was able to help me with my injury. He was knowledgeable and got me to the right person to help.

Excellent knowledge and treatment of my right knee. Usually cortisone shots don’t take. But the Good Dr. hit the spot. No pain for 3 weeks at least. I recommend Dr. Bader for you orthopedic needs.

I was scared because I never had surgery before I feel like dr. Bader is a gift from god I have recovered and am stronger than I was before I damaged my AC

Very nice person job well did (left shoulder) the place has nice and friendly people there.

Options offered other than surgery are platelet rich plasma injections, gel injections and physical therapy. PA Rick Nolley is outstanding.

After 3 knee surgeries I can truly say Dr Bader is THE BEST! My recovery was very easy. Excellent bedside manner! I recommend him to anyone with knee issues! I’m very happy w/my knees now,Thanks to Dr Bader, I’m back to playing pickle ball and golfing!

Dr.Bader is a very knowledgeable orthopedic surgeon and cares about patients and outcomes. He repaired my knee meniscus very skillfully and suggested to have my own PRP injections into the knee after the surgery along with the Physical Therapy and it really helped me to recover well after my surgery. I highly recommend Dr.Bader to my family and friends. It’s not easy to find a good doctor who will listen to your concerns and will do best to help you. Olga I.

Dr. Bader is a good doctor he listens he observes and he takes good care of his patience. That’s why I like seeing him when I can. He’s like my regular doctor King but he’s one great doctor thank you so much.

Dr Bader is very thorough and trustworthy. He never pushes surgery and trys to resolve the problem with the intention of surgery as the last resort. He is by far the most knowledgeable and up to date in orthopedic technology that anyone would see.

Hurt my shoulder and after physical therapy the pain persisted. Referred to orthopedic specialist. Received a thorough evaluation with several options presented for further care.

Dr Bader was very helpful with my left knee. He explained what is going with it and the treatment for now.

Excellent job

Dr. Semon Bader's knowledge, experience, and guidance helped my recovery immensely. The support staff and physician assistants in the office were also very professional. I recommend Semon Bader for treatment of joint injuries.

DR. Was very thorough and knowledgeable Got me approved for blood platelets injection needed for my recovery.

Dr Bader is wonderful I could not have asked for a better surgeon my arm feels great

I really appreciate the professionalism, and overall care that I received!!!

Dr. Bader is a very good diagnostician. Focused on pain relief and muscle development, not surgery. Having PT in the same facility is a big plus.

Dr.Bader is a terrific surgeon, I would highly recommend him to anyone that was going to have knee surgery or any orthopedic surgeries that he performs. my surgery was painless and I was able to recover quickly with full use of my knee.

Dr Bader was fantastic. He quickly addressed my condition and provided both clear concise explanation and outlined potential care treatments. I plan to continue and follow up with Dr Bader and can recommend him easily to all

I really liked Dr. Bader and his assistant, got right to my problem, I would recommend to anyone with shoulder pain. Look forward to seeing Dr. Bader again in a couple months.

Everone is very helpful and the Docter is very nice and he is very patient and thorough.

Dr Bader, Rick and the entire staff are absolutely wonderful. I thank you for providing excellent care

I had a bad dirt bike accident that required major knee surgery. Afterwards, my knee stiffened up and that’s when Dr.Bader came in to perform a MUA (manipulation of the knee to regain motion). I’m getting an ACL soon by Dr. Bader, and I’m looking forward to it.

Dr Bader was understanding, thorough, and compassionate. He took the time to listen. I am grateful for the treatment I received and his professional, care giving staff. I have hope.

Dr Bader has been extremely helpful in guiding through my knee issues. After trying non surgical therapies he has referred me to a colleague that can perform the necessary surgery to completely replace my knee. Thanks for all your help, I appreciate you. Rich Williams

Dr. Bader is the best.

It is an excellent place,and He is a very good doctor.

I have never received such a thorough and detailed exam. Dr. Bader is professional and knowledgeable. He even had a resident exam me. For months I have been trying to get answers. I got them today. Thank you Dr. Bader

I am a first responder and was injured on duty at work. Dr. Bader has been treating my shoulder, and his bedside manner and the efficiency of his office, has given me reason to refer him to my coworkers and friends.

He is an excellent dr. Oh, he did surgery on my shoulder and treat me really good. I appreciate it from him.👍😘

Very professional...

Repaired my right shoulder. Still feels great. It's now time for the left! Good doctor with good results!

(Translated by Google) Excellent doctor and good treatment, thank you (Original) Exelente doctor y un buen trato gracias

Dr Bader repaired my right shoulder eight years ago and it's still strong and doing well. I moved out of state last year and needed my left shoulder repaired and traveled to California just so Dr. Bader would perform the surgery. He is a caring physician with great surgical outcomes!

Dr Bader was my second opinion to address the meniscal and ligament tear I had in my knee. I was already looking at surgery with another orthopedic Md but Dr Bader did not think that the long term outcomes would be good after surgery and being on crutches for 8 weeks. He offered hyaluronic viscous injections and a special brace to off load my knee. I have chosen to follow his recommendations and am greatly relieved.

I can highly recommend Dr. Bader! He has performed surgery on both my knees, and I have less pain, and more mobility and use now than I did before!

Dr. Bader was so gentle. He assessed my issue thoroughly and explained everything in a way I could understand. He is a great doctor! I highly recommend Dr. Bader.

The experience gave me peace of mind that the doctor can restore my ailing knee.

I highly recommend Dr Bader, he recently cleaned out my knee and is helping me to manage it until I ultimately get a knee replacement. He is thorough and is easy to talk to, he is on time for appointments and you feel he is attentive to your concerns.

(Translated by Google) Thanks to Dr. Semon I was able to recover the mobility of my shoulder, the surgery he performed on me was a success, today I feel happy and free of pain. Thank you very much Dr Semon :) God bless you and all your collaborators. (Original) Gracias al Dr Semon pude recuperar la movilidad de mi hombro, la cirugía que me practicó fue todo un éxito, hoy día me siento feliz y libre de dolor. Muchas gracias Dr Semon :) Dios le multiplique en bendiciones a usted y a todos sus colaboradores.

Great Ortho doc. Clear, concise and empathetic in regards to my knee issue. Fast diagnosis and excellent surgical care. Professional, with easy going attitude that put me and my wife at ease. Looking forward to running again! HIGHLY recommend him and his group ( I am also a physician and HE is fantastic!)

Very knowledgeable doctor and he cares. He’s always given me good advice.

My first visit with Dr. Bader recently was very pleasant. He totally listened to me and helped me with a plan to take care of a couple of injuries. I really like his mannerisms and caring personality.

very excellent medical care

Dr. Bader is an exceptional surgeon. His informative and patient approach immediately put me at ease. The rotator cuff surgery he performed was a success, and I'm already experiencing positive results in my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Bader for his professionalism and skill. Thank you for making a difference in my life!

Highly recommend Dr. Bader who did my daughter’s torn ACL surgery.

Dr Bader is a great orthopedic doctor. He listens and explains everything and he is a super nice guy. I I see him for both knees and he did my shoulder surgery. I wouldn’t see anyone else.

Thank you very much! I hope I see you soon.

Dr. Bader re-attached my healthy, but un-rooted meniscus. I was in a lot of pain before the surgery. It was a creepy idea- drilling my shin bone and using "filament" (or something) to re-seat the meniscus and have it held in place by the filament attached to my shin bone. BUT- It turned out great! I got to keep my own relatively healthy (I am 70) knee and it healed well and I can walk, hike, bike ride etc. without any pain now. I am so happy I didn't have to go the replacement route.

Patient and thorough examination with clear explanation of treatment options

Dr. Bader is a highly skilled and an outstanding Arthroscopic Surgeon with successful and amazing results. Dear Dr. Bader, Thank you so much for saving me from excruciating pains and helping me out with my Arthroscopic Knee Surgery. I can not thank you enough. Ali F.

Dr. Bader was very thorough and professional.

While there was a rather long wait for a surgical date, the professionalism and care offered by Dr, Bader, Rick Nolley and staff was excellent. The surgical center staff were efficient and caring. In particular post surgery my questions and concerns were quickly addressed. Dr Bader is professional, competent and reliable. He was accurate with respect to post surgical recovery and what to expect. The physical therapy partners are also excellent.

Very friendly and forthcoming.

Dr. Bader is an excellent orthopedic physician who takes a consultative approach to his patients. He spent a lot of time examining my knee pain and educating me on potential causes and options to address the issue. He was very professional, friendly, and compassionate. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs orthopedic care.

Dr. Bader is a very good Dr. I had left shoulder surgery in September, and to be honest, I didn't have allot of pain after the surgery, the most pain I had was when I started strength training on the shoulder, but other than that, I would recommend Dr. Bader for shoulder, knees, and all.

After a knee started acting up, I tried several times to figure it out with other doctors. Finally, Dr. Semon Bader noticed a chunk of rogue cartilage. He carefully removed it, and repaired a torn meniscus while rummaging around in there. Surgery was minimally invasive, and pain was almost nonexistent. My knee is back in action and I no longer stress about sudden pain when things pop out of place. One note: make sure that your insurance covers the physical therapy there, or make arrangements in advance. I wound up having to wait almost two months to get started with a professional. I managed to figure out my own PT, but it stressed my wife and mother, both. Dr. Bader is a fabulous doctor, and I would definitely seek out his services again. He finally solved my problem!

He's an old school Doctor ,Who practices the latest in medical procedures, not like normal surgeons that want to cut you up to make money. He used the PRP injections to cure my rotator cuff, instead of surgery. I have no pain and full reaching capacity. He is God sent, and I sincerely am grateful that doctors like him still exist.

Dr. Bader is the best!..from start to figure I can't say enough about the professionalism that was provided by him and his staff. Surgery was a success and the healing process is coming along as expected too!, Thank you Dr!

I destroy body parts. My last incident involved my left knee. Tore everything! So far, physical therapy is going great which means the surgery was fantastic! Thanks Dr. Bader!!

I had my partial knee replacement surgery with Dr Bader on June 2022. I highly recommend him! He is very knowledgeable! He patiently listened and answered all my questions and concerns regarding my surgery. He was great with all my follow up appointments after surgery!

Very good and awesome place I could not have asked for more better care then what they gave me excellent service. I'm very pleased with the overall service and care they gave me.i would recommend this place to anyone if you want good service go here Thank you Dr Semon Bader.

My experience at the office was good. I’m just awaiting approval to have my meniscus repaired. I’m looking forward to having it repaired.

We had a lot of problems with communication with reception here, but everyone seemed nice and understanding. However, the doctor I saw was great and incredibly helpful. All in all, the good outweighed the bad.

I had surgery to repair a torn meniscus root on my left knee. The surgery seems to have gone well although I was advised that I had arthritis that might affect my recovery. It has been three months on and I have Physical Therapy twice weekly which is absolutely necessary to strengthen the muscles in the leg. You also need to be consistent and do assigned home exercises as well. While sometimes frustrated that the recovery process is slower than expected, I am becoming increasingly more mobile and confident with less fatigue. Dr.Bader is a well qualified orthopedist who is well versed in this procedure. He answers your questions directly and offers options as to what procedure to have that may be best suited for your particular injury.

I had surgery on my left knee but the Doctor completely botched it. I was referred by my doctor, Dr Khelia over to the orthopedic specialist, Dr. Bader. I was very glad my doctor said he lived breathe in digested orthopedics that he was phenomenal! So happy to have him now. He did both of my son knees and he is perfectly fine now. I now have a tear in my meniscus in my right knee. And after my first experience, I was scared to death to ever do operational any again, but I’m very confident that if this has to happen. I am absolutely with the right doctor. He’s amazing.

I have been seeing Dr. Bader for knee issues for about 15 years., He is kind, compassionate, conscientious, a good surgeon, and also receptive to non-surgical interventions. He has my total respect and confidence.

Dr. Bader explained with precision the diagnose with my labrum and meniscus issue. Offered paths with several options to proceed with. Greatly recommended.

Thank you Dr.Bader for your surgery my shoulder for my rotated cup. My hands is much feel better now and I can go back to work and I can do my job back again.

Outstanding Orthopedic. Took time to examine my knee. Provided me with options. And administered treatment expertly. Extremely attentive and responsive. He is my go to orthopedist

I went to see Dr. Bader for my shoulder , he was very warm and caring ,he took the time to tell what I had and answered all my questions, we talked about several different options and choices , I felt I was in very good hands

As well as being an excellent surgeon, Dr Bader is a great person who genuinely cares about his patients. I feel confident in my road to recovery.

I had a difficult surgery procedure to re-attach my meniscus to the bone and now I'm able to walk normally again. I'm very luck to have met Dr. Bader!

Dr. Bader performed a difficult procedure to repair my meniscus attachment to the bone and I am eternally grateful for the ability to walk normally again due to his expertise. I’m very lucky to have met Dr. Bader.

Dr Bader is really good. It had been a while since the last time I saw him and was glad I could get back with him. I was having pain in my left knee they did x-rays and gave me a cortisone shot which really helped. Marlene Davis

Nice physician I will recommend to my friends he's very polite and interested in hear your problems and give suggestion about it!

It's a great place to have procedures done

Dr. Bader is very good doctor. I have seen many doctors but he is the best. I prefer if I could find my PCP same as Dr Semon Bader.

Dr Bader is the best I got the meniscus implant with him, I still see him and he always answer my questions and gave me the best options to healing my knee

Wonderful and friendly customer service in the front and back office! Dr. Bader is probably the nicest and caring physician I have had in a long time. Never feeling rushed and he answers all my questions and ends the visit with a smile!

Dr. Baser is very knowledgeable and took time to explain my injury, listened to my questions and answered thoroughly with explaining the reason for the treatment he recommended. +++Excellent

I had a meniscus root reattached. Dr. Bader was clear and informative about the procedure. I felt confident going into surgery. My knee is healing well.

I have known Dr Bader for a few years. Finally after Covid I got my left knee partial replacement. I have been really good at doing my exercises, especially in the beginning they were painful. I did exactly what they told me and it got better every day. I started doing in my right leg as I'm getting a partial knee replacement there as well. I am looking forward to my surgery coming up in June. Then, I will now have both knees done. Game, life changer.. I love dr. Bader he's one of a kind. Thank you for being patient with me

Dr Bader did my surgery only one day after I saw him in his office, because he knew it was best to do it asap. I really appreciated that. The surgery was successful and I am on my way to a full recovery. His PA is also great.

Had my second rotator cuff surgery done by Dr. Bader one year from the first. Very satisfied and happy with the results of the surgery. Patient care by Dr. Bader and his staff was very good. Delighted to receive a follow-up call a day or 2 after surgery from his staff to check on how I was doing. Highly recommend Dr. Bader.

Both my surgeries were done by Dr Bader and he did a great job. He monitored my progress and ordered the appropriate physical therapy. He is very knowledgeable and takes great care of his patients.

Doctor Bader has been my specialist for two separate problems, a frozen shoulder and a torn ACL. In both of these situations he has taken wonderful care of me. The surgery for my knee ended up being more extensive then hoped for, but he did an amazing job and everyday it is getting better. From the outside my knee has very little scaring. It's mind blowing what modern medicine can do with such small incisions

I have had excellent experience with Dr Bader.

The moment I walked in to Dr.Bader's office..I was greeted with a smile..the Receptionist was very knowledgeable and helpful. Dr.Bader took me in early...and was very thorough in my upcoming partial knee replacement . He is the Best Doctor in Orthopedics...John Muir Hospital...He has a following...I am honored to have Dr.Bader as my Surgeon. Deborah L.Briggs

Dr Badar was great to work with. He took great care of me and he was very good listening to me and he never seemed rushed. His office staff was also very good and the facilities were great

Dr Bader has a very gentle manner which is very comforting when you’ve got an injury that requires surgery. In my opinion he has amazing surgical skills to have repaired my knee in which pretty much everything was completely torn. I’m so glad I found him when I needed him. Excellent doctor!

What a great guy and incredible doctor. Dr. Bader always made feel at ease, he was super easy to talk to. His explanations were always clear and he made sure I understood my condition before he would let me go. He removed a bone spur on my shoulder, haven't felt this good in years. Highly recommended

Fell and broke my hip. Dr. Bader put me back together. I felt better immediately after surgery.

I just met Dr Bader today. He's my new ortho shoulder surgeon. He explained my MRI in a way that was easy for me to understand. He also demonstrated a problem with the big muscle that's very close to RC my injury; the pain from it was masked. It makes perfect sense that it should be injured due to how I fell. He spotted it quickly and took action. He immediately inspired my confidence. Now we can get to it.
