DR DAVID CONTRERAS

Dr. Contreas is very easy to talk to. My experience was very positive & I would recommend him to my friends & family.

I have been Dr. Contreras patient for 6 years. His professionalism is unequal. He explained to me in laymen terms with drawing my problems. Will recommend him to anybody that’ll need a knee doctor.

Understood the issue with my knee and actually took the time to drain the swelling and put in some cortisone. I did not expect such prompt relief. It was wonderful!

Dr. David Contreras is highly skilled, caring, friendly and engaging. I highly recommend him, his staff and facilities.

I'm a senior with a history of back problems, but it was severe pain in my hips that got me referred to Dr. Contreras. The preliminary diagnosis was osteoarthritis of the hip joint, but Dr. Contreras was not satisfied that this was the true cause of my hip pain. Before our initial visit, he took the trouble to review the lumbar fusion surgery I had three years ago. During our visit he showed me x-rays of my hips taken back in 2019, indicating nascent osteoarthritis. Then he had a new hip x-ray taken on the spot and was able to suggest that though my arthritis had spread, it did not seem serious enough to cause the hip and thigh pain I was experiencing. And then it hit me. Back in 2019 I had severe sciatica due to a spinal nerve root being trapped between a bone spur and a misaligned vertebra. Back then I was sure I had a hip problem because the sciatic nerve referred my pain to the joint of my right hip. Dr. Contreras suggested the same thing could be happening again. Before treating me for arthritis -- I was hoping for a hip replacement ASAP because the pain was so bad -- Dr. Contreras ordered an MRI of my spine and also a CT scan. They will be coming up in the next week. Together we will go over the results, and from the information presented on those slides will be able to determine the exact cause of my hip pain. Then and only then will we set about a course of treatment. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Contreras for not rubber-stamping the initial diagnosis, and instead taking the time required to familiarize himself with my history and specify additional testing to be absolutely sure. The story is not over, but already I am pretty sure that had I seen a less experienced and thorough specialist, I could have been directed down the wrong path and wasted precious years finding my way back.

Dr Contreras is the BEST! He’s very polite. His expertise gives me the assurance that he’s doing the best for me. I’ve been seeing him for many years for my knees. I’m so GRATEFUL for the care he gives me. I can function and live independently on my own. You can’t go wrong with Dr Conteras he’s very down to earth and he listens to what you have to say! He truly CARES for his patients.

Dr. Contreras has treated me for about 2 years for both knees which need replacement. He is caring and also explains everything in detail. For now I am having injections for the pain but when I am ready to have them replaced I know he will be there for me. I have all the confidence in the world for him and would recommend him highly.
