I went to Dr Kenneth Mensch for carpal tunnel and he also found a unexpected ganglion cyst which he removed. He has a great bedside manner, love that he wears cowboy boots as his chosen accessory goes along with his personality that puts you at ease. His staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Having dealt with Dr. Coe some 14 years ago on my lower back,when some issues came up, I sought help with him again. That was when I saw Dr. Gidvani and sought his help. I had 3 cloapsed discs & pressure on my neck nerves along with much Arthritis. He operated on my spine through my neck , I still don't know how he did it!! I was 78 & just turned 79. This is the best I have felt in years! A very successful outcome. A really amazing staff & professional group in all. I have recommended him to others! Paul Dorsa

He also issued me all the examinations that I need and informed every steps of the way. I appreciate the time and the efforts Dr Cohen and his team spend on me. High recommend!

Good afternoon, Dr. Gidvani. I am very grateful to you and your entire team. I had my surgery today and I feel great; the pain is gone, and that makes me very happy. I'm still waiting to see how I'll feel tomorrow, but I'm committed to following everything to the letter to recover soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your excellent care and professionalism.
I'd be happy to leave a recommendation.

I have been so fortunate to be a patient at Golden State Orthopedic and Spine. I had gone to Dr. Mensch for my hands. He did surgery to fix painful arthritis issues in my knuckles.
Recently I have been having horrible what I thought was sciatica pain. I had been urgent care and my general practitioner but continued to have pain with rest, ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
I called GSOS and was able to get in with Dr. Gidvani. He immediately ordered X-rays and an MRI and he found that my L4 & L5 were the issue and my nerves were being pinched causing the pain. Dr. Gidvani explained the issue very clearly and I am moving forward with treatment to relieve this painful issue. I am so thankful that he took the time to get these tests ordered right away.

Dr. Jeffrey Kanel has treated my son on three occasions, and each experience has been outstanding. The first was when my son was just 7 and suffered an elbow fracture that required surgery. Thanks to Dr. Kanel’s exceptional skill, the results were flawless, and my son regained full motion in his arm. Two years later, at age 9, my son twisted his knee playing football. Once again, Dr. Kanel expertly managed his recovery, ensuring he healed without the need for a surgery and without any complications. Most recently, at 16, my son needed knee surgery due to another sports injury, and Dr. Kanel once again delivered remarkable results. My son fully recovered and I can't be more thankful for the incredible care he received.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Kanel as our family's Orthopedic Physician. His professionalism, skill, precision, and compassionate care are truly unmatched. I couldn’t ask for a better physician and surgeon and wholeheartedly recommend him!

I went to see doctor Sandeep Gidvani for consulting about my back pain. 3 assistants came in the room one after the other and each of them asked the same questions about my symptoms. The last one looked at my X-ray and MRI and provided some information. Finally the doctor came in and spent 5 to 10 minutes describing the back problem and how to fix it. He left the room and one of his assistants came in with a piece of paper highlighting the kind of operation doctor would do. I told him that I would think and do my own research about the operation and would let them know my decision. When I came home I noticed that I had 3 disk bulging. It raised a question for me as why he would operate on one disk and not all 3. Later on I asked my own physician and she explained it for me. Since doctor Gidvani did not spend enough time with me, I could not think of my questions at that time.
Doctor Givani was very nice but it seemed like he was in a hurry to finish the session sooner than normal.
The other concern was that I felt the radiology technician was not courteous enough towards me and it was not a warm and friendly environment. Another issue was why 3 assistants had to see me before I see the doctor. And lastly, when I saw my regular doctor, she said that she had not received the consulting report yet, and that was 10 days.

I am a 78 year old woman with a common age related issue of low back pain that kept me from taking walks or being very active. I took action rather than bemoaning the situation. I made an appointment with Dr. Sandeep Gidvani after reading his impressive profile online. My first appt. I was impressed that they had an in house xray which showed my problem to Dr. Gidvani. He met with me explained several options, at my age I wasn’t wasting anytime. I chose a very effective surgery to correct my problem discs. I was scheduled & the surgery done. After healing I had no pain. I feel like it was a miracle that I found a great doctor like Dr. Gidvani and his team. Oh yes, I still have a little arthritis but nothing compared to what it was.

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. Sagoo was thorough and thoughtful. He looked through the 3 MRI CDs I brought of my knee injuries and developed a plan of PT and then a cortisone shot. He said the injury was clear and the shots would be highly effective. He was correct and the pain is gone. I was very pleased with the time Dr. Sagoo invested to clearly understand my injuries. I had seen other orthopedic surgeons who recommended expensive treatments before they saw the MRIs. I would highly recommend Dr. Sagoo.

A thorough examination was provided explanation of prospective procedures, alternatives and thorough review of MRI and X Rays.
Drs. Mohan and Gidvani were excellent and took time to thoroughly discuss my case. Procedure performed by Dr. Mohan was effective in addressing the problem.
Have not yet decided on surgery which would be performed by Dr. Gidvani but feel I now have the information and alternatives I need to make the decision.

Best groups of doctors hands down!! My doctor was Dr. Kevin Murray, Orthopedic Surgeon and the best in sports medicine. Injured my right wrist with fracture and dislocation during the HIIT workout beginning of April 2024 . He was the only doctor (after getting opinions from multiple other orthopedic drs in Bay Area) who told me surgery is not required and could be done with cast and braces! I trusted him and I am so glad I did. After several weeks of Physical Therapy and multiple doctor follow-ups, he fully cleared me for exercises. Dr. Murray’s PA, Zachary Claunch (specialized in sports medicine, hand & wrist) is very knowledgeable and approachable with all the question and concerns.
Pros- they have X-Ray room, Cast Room and other facilities so you don’t have to go anywhere else. Staff is very friendly. Plenty of parking.

I would highly recommend Dr. Sagoo as an Orthopedic
Surgeon as he replaced my right hip a few years ago and I am certain that I need look no further than Dr. Sagoo in the future for my orthopedic needs should they arise. From my first visit with him to my post surgery visits at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine I was treated very well and this goes not only with reference to Dr. Sagoo but for all of the staff working there. I can't honestly imagine being treated (both medically and personally) any better anywhere. Very professional and mannerful people with whom I was well pleased.

I recently had the pleasure of being seen by Dr. Sagoo, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Sagoo is an absolute professional with a remarkable bedside manner.
Not only is he highly knowledgeable and skilled in his field, but he also takes the time to listen to his patients. He made sure to understand my concerns and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. His kind and compassionate approach made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment plan.
I highly recommend Dr. Sagooo to anyone in need of orthopedic care. He truly stands out for his dedication to patient care and his ability to make every visit a positive experience.

I have been going to GSO&S for almost a year now. From day one to present, I have had zero issues. From the nice ladies at the front desk, to the various Health Assistants that come out to greet you and take you back, it's been great. Everyone has been very helpful and always have a smile on their face.
My doctor has been Dr. Kevin Murray.
I have been under the care of Dr. Murray for almost a year now. When I first damaged my Achilles, my doctor recommended a specialist to take care of me. This is when I met Dr. Murray. From day one, Dr. Murray has taken the time to listen and answer all my questions and concerns. Never have I felt rushed. Since I am older and still quite active, I unfortunately damaged my left shoulder to the point where I needed surgery. Again, Dr. Murray took the time to explain what was damaged and more importantly, what to expect before and after the surgery. Dr. Murray has an amazing surgical team as well. From the moment I entered the door, everyone made sure my needs were met. They could see how nervous I was and did all they could to ease my stress. 100% - Top notch group of people. Post surgery, Dr. Murray has monitored my healing progress, and come this August, I will have one last check up with him on my shoulder. It feels amazing!
I have to also mention his assistant, Zack, that has been looking over me as well. Zack is extremely bright and also takes the time to make sure all my questions and concerns are covered.
Well, as fate would have it, I have now damaged my right meniscus and the process of having an MRI done.
Dr. Murray is not only an amazing physician, but a good person as well. In this day and age, it's quite refreshing.

Despite the time-consuming tests, I believe in investing time for the best results. I highly recommend Dr. Sandeep Gilvani for anyone facing cervical spinal issues.

I had been experiencing increasing pain in my lower back and made an appointment with Dr. Mohan. I was able to quickly schedule an appointment, and after an MRI he recommended steroid shots. This was also scheduled quickly and my back is much better now. Dr. Mohan is very caring, conscientious and great at diagnosing issues and providing the best care. His office person Brandon, is wonderful. So often medical office personnel are unhelpful and hard to reach. Brandon is the opposite of that and makes the whole experience that much better.

I've been seeing Dr. Randall Seago for my spinal "problems" / Lumbar pain since 2009, when it first started. Now as I am older, it is getting to the point where he is taking more-serious efforts to deal with it.
Over these past 15 years, Dr. Seago has been very open-and-objective about treating my "problem" so that I wouldn't trust anyone-else with providing me with the necessary surgical treatment(s). Not only that, the guy is "Ex-Navy" like me, so why would I trust anyone else ??
One problem however :
He has also won the trust of so many-other patients, since the early 80's, that you may find it hard to get an appointment with him as Golden State Ortho. & Spine has him so-heavily booked that he's having a hard time "seeing the light of day" !! If you do get "blessed" with an opportunity to get a "visit" with him, please bring him a beer-or-three, because he really needs it.... (but he'll, then,
need to find some conscious hours in the day to drink them...)
Good Luck.... Steve Berbick..April 2024

I first met Dr. Gidvani, at Gloden State Orthopedic & Spine, after injuring my Back in 2017. I lifted a heavy object and blew out the L4 and L5 pads in my spine. I found him to be very friendly and pleasant person. He'll be honest and upfront with you about you condition and what can be done.
I've had 2 surgeries with him and both were successful! The last surgery was a Back Fusion, to stabilize my back. In both cases he told me what will happen before the surgery and visited me afterwards in the hospital. He was upfront with me that these is not a cures, but to prevent further injury.
I've returned to working full-time now, but I'm very carfull on how I move myself and what I'll lift. You need to be honest with yourself. There are no miracle cures for back injury!
Gloden State Orthopedic & Spine is very professional center with X-Ray technicians on site. Getting a Workers Comp appointment can be a bit challenging. You just need to be very, very, very persistent. 😆
I highly recommend Dr. Gidvani and Gloden State Orthopedic & Spine for any Orthopedic & Spine injuries! If I were to need additional Back surgery, this is where I'm going and Dr. Gidvani we be my surgeon!

Pre-surgery and the surgery was excellent. Post surgery I knocked one star off. It was difficult to communicate with the surgeon or his staff. I recommended adding a physician assistant for better communication.The Golden State Portal is not very responsive to patients request. I never received an answer to any questions or requests I posted. The surgeon was never contacted by administrative staff when I tried to make contact with him. That is a big problem.

I carefully hand picked Dr. Blue a while back, probably more that 10 years now he has been our trusted family Doctor. When I first met him he was in a different practice, then he joined another practice, we follow him and now he decided he start his own practice, well guess what ? We will follow him again. The only issue I can think about each time something need to be checked is what will I do when Dr. Blue retired ? He is my family favorite Dr. not only he is very good at what he does he is also a good listner, he listen at your suggestions and use that based on his knowledge. Dr. Blue never said what you want to hear, he always tell you the truth and will help you to overcome your issue, gives you all the alternatives on how you can better your health. He makes you very very comfortable on discussing your issues. My entire family really value his profesionalism and friendliness to make you feel going to see your Dr. is not a task its something you wanted to do since you have a Dr. you can actually trust and is listening to you and happy to help you. A Doctor that returned your call on weekend because you have covid and need a medication ? To my family that beyond being a Doctor. To us as long as Dr. Blue is in practice he has our back

Dr Seago is the ultimate professional and very skilled spinal orthopedist. Unlike many practitioners, he takes the time to really explain the condition to the patient in a language they can understand. He is also an exceptional listener. My lumbar situation is somewhat complicated and he considers all conservative approaches first before recommending surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Seago to any patients that require spinal orthopedics.

Dr. Blue is my primary care Dr. and my "go-to" for sports injuries. After some bloodwork he saw that I was prediabetic and advised of some small lifestyle changes (low carbs and exercise 2x/week minimum). After a two-month follow-up and following his advice my A1C levels dropped back to normal!
Fast forward a few years I injured my knee skateboarding and he diagnosed a torn MCL, sprained LCL and partially torn ACL. After the torn ligaments healed I was back skateboarding and playing sports after just three months of rehab. I now have Dr. Blue take care of my son for his basketball-related injuries. I won't go anywhere else.

Dr Gidvani was amazing. All the X-ray, pre-op, hospital staff I came in contact with couldn’t say enough great things about him as a surgeon. They all said I was in the best hands with him. And I was! Very experienced, knowledgeable, caring surgeon.. I had very intensive lower back surgery I was nervous, but he did an amazing job. My only frustration was contacting the staff through the main number before the surgery. Sometimes I didn’t get a callback for a few days. Not always, but frustrating. Other than that my experience was fantastic. I highly recommend Dr Gidvani!!!

I had a fracture in my left arm and GoodSam emergency referred me to Dr. Kanel after X-ray confirmed a minor fracture. Front desk accommodated me and gave a next week day appointment. Everything was smooth on arrival and the staff were very friendly . No long waiting at the doctor’s exam room. He was very understanding, showed the X-ray on the screen and explained everything to put me at ease. Huge relief to hear it was only a hairline fracture. The whole experience deserves a 5 star rating. Highly recommend Dr. Kanel

Gidvani performed a successful SI joint fusion operation on me. I had pain in lower back, groin and leg due to arthritis. In retrospect , the SI fusion fixed my lower back pain but I needed a subsequent total hip replacement to fully resolve groin pain. The operated side of my lower back now feels great, I have no noticeable loss of flexibility due to the fusion.

I was recommended to Dr. Coe for a treatment of sciatica. He is very methodical in treatments he puts me through and has my wellfare in mind. I trust him and after months of few epidural injections that were not a final solution we decided it's time for a surgery. As veird as it sounds I am looking forward to it. His record, knowledge and experience in spine surgeries give me comfort of knowing that I am in good hands. Ludmilla

Dr. Mensch professionally and kindly evaluated my orthopedic problem. We discussed several options.

The next day, I also received a call from his office to make sure that I was doing OK. I highly recommend Doctor Mensch.

Today was the 1st day I met him. It was a referral from Dr. Tina Mulomphy. She's awesome as well!! Dr. Sagoo. What a personality and bed side manner! Wow. He is kind hearted. He listens, asks questions. We went over my MRI from a previous surgery I had. We went over my Xrays from today. He has a smile. Not grouchy or grumpy! I say this, as I have seen many a dr in my 62 years, specifically these past 15 with a bad back, 2 bad hips & labrum tears. So I've seen many a personality! I cannot recommend this Dr. Enough, With any higher regard. I wish he could get 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 he most definitely would.

I have seen Dr. sagoo for over5 years now and followed him to different offices. In my opinion he is the one of the best orthopedic surgeon in the area. Not only the medical side but his personality is what really makes you feel like you’re in the best hands possible. You never feel rushed when you’re talking with him, he has time to explain or answer your questions, you always leave his office knowing what the plan for your treatment is. He really cares for his patients your not just a name and body part your a person. I would follow Dr. Sagoo to any office no matter how far he moved!!!! I would also recommend him to anyone who is in need of orthopedic surgery.

Everyone I met from the receptionist, nursing staff, x-ray techs, and Dr Sagoo were very kind and compassionate people. I was in a lot of pain when I 1st went into see Dr Sagoo who diagnosed my problem as an arthritic hip. They walked me through the process and prepared me for complete hip replacement surgery. Within 6 weeks I was at Good Sam Hospital and Dr Sagoo and his team in approx 1 hour had completed the surgery. I woke up and the nursing staff at Good Sam had me up and walking within 2 hours after surgery. Now it has been 6 weeks and I am back to living life again without any pain. This was amazing to me and I’d like to thank everyone at Golden State Orthopedics and especially Dr Sagoo who is a highly skilled and professional surgeon who’s demeanor was always calm and reassuring to me throughout the whole process.

I would give 5* except finding parking close to the office is very difficult. Besides that 5* for the staff starting with receptionist, patient lounge, and assistant. All we’re friendly and make you feel important. My doctor is Randall Seago. I have yet to have surgery on my back but he takes to time to listen to health issues and concerns. In 2015 I had serious hip and knee pain. Found out my right hip needed full replacement. Dr Littlejohn who works with OrthoNorCal did amazing job when he retired I went to Dr Seago. Benn there ever since. He’s excellent and we discussed my options for my lower back pain. He gave me a few choices. We’ll discuss treatment next visit.

I've been with Dr. Ma and Dr. Blue for over a year now, and I've had 8 appointments with them. My experience with their billing me/Anthem has always been accurate.
I disagree with the reviews that state "beware of their billing practices". If you read before signing anything, their billing is fair and articulated clearly.
Regarding waiting time for appointments, I usually need to wait 5 minutes on the line until they join. In-person appointments, I've usually waited 10 minutes. Despite my usual impatience, this is one of the lowest wait times I've encountered across all doctors.
My personal experience has been great.

Fate was smiling on me the day I found Dr. Poelstra and Nocal Orthopedic. My back was in so much pain that I had taken to walking with a cane. I had numbness and tingling down my legs and between my toes. Dr. Poelstra's staff was able to get me in very quickly. I came with my MRI and Dr. Poelstra consulted a radiologist on the spot because there was a questionable area on my spine. I was sent for a CT myelogram and the spot that had him concerned wasn't visible. He included me in the decision making of my care. I left the office with a clear path on what to do and if what we had decided on didn't help, then it was time for surgery. If you want to have confidence in your physician and be treated with compassion and professionalism go to this group.

I highly recommend Dr Gidvani. I had pretty bad back pain due to a herniated disc. After an MRI, Dr Gidvani explained my options very well and recommended a microscopic decompression. He did the surgery 10 days later and 4 days after I was able to attend an important conference for work. I was a bit tired but had no back pain. After doing PT I resumed running and I'm training for a 100K race with no back pain whatsoever. I am thankful to Dr Gidvani every day.

I can't say enough positive comments about my experiences with OrthoNorcal. I had seen Dr. Cohen once for shoulder pain. He gave me an injection of cortisone and I haven't had any problems since.
Months later, I was getting on a CalTrain after a Giants game and my right leg just gave out and I fell on the steps. Nothing that resulted in immediate treatment but when I got home I called Dr. Cohen. He got me in right away and after examination, told me that he was referring me to Dr. Seago. He said I might be in surgery that week and he was right.
I had a disc herniate and press against my back nerves, causing my leg to not respond to my nerve signals. Three days later, after surgery by Dr. Seago, I was recovering well. As far as I'm concerned, the quick action by both outstanding doctors kept me out of a wheelchair for life!
Then, feeling so great, I said I would change a faucet from under a sink for my neighbor. In an awkward position, I torqued my back and felt it go out again. Yes, second surgery by Dr. Seago and I'm doing great once more.
Then, mainly from age, my back started to hurt from stenosis and arthritis. That's when I met another great member of their staff, Dr. Molumphy. She deals in pain management and suggested I try an epidural before thinking of another surgery. I'm very glad to say that It worked, my pain is minimal, if at all most days, and my life is back to normal again. If you're reading this, then you or someone you know is in pain, don't wait any longer. Go see one of these great doctors.

I had an injury that resulted in a torn MCL, miniscus, and a blown ACL. Upon meeting Dr. Kevin Murray, I knew I found the right Dr. for my surgery.
At no time during all my visits did I ever feel rushed, or as if I was not his complete focus and #1 priority. He never failed to take his time and ensure all my questions were answered and needs were met. Amazing professional and bedside manner.
The day of my operation his team was absolutely first class! From the prep room to the point where I was put out, his team constantly checked on me. During that time, at least three different nurses and aids talked to me, reassuring me that everything was going to be ok.
It's now been just over two months since my procedure. While there is still a long recovery ahead, I now feel confident that my knee will be back to pre-injury condition if not better, once all the rehab is complete.
THANK YOU Dr. Murray and his staff!

This place was referred to me by my chiropractor.
Dr. Coe and his assistant, Melissa examed my condition which required an operation on my lower back.
I think these two are a great team whom I became to appreciate.
Melissa was so thorough and attentive to details so that she could provide the best background of my pain to Dr. Coe.
My surgery was about a month ago now and I am recovering well.
Like some complaints about the overbooked schedule at this clinic, it is true and I also had a complaint. But I appreciated the candid response from Dr. Coe and Melissa. They do not control the appointment schedule but the clinic does. I always appreciate honest acceptance of the fact and concern instead of trying to cover and giving transparent excuses.
Anyone who has back pain issues, I recommend this place, Dr. Coe and Melissa.
Thank you.

Dr. Gidvani did an excellent job with my micro-decompression back surgery and I was exceedingly worried about having the surgery. Everything went well and I am back riding my bike 15-25 miles, kayaking, etc. 5 months after surgery. The follow-up PT taught me to alter lifting and carrying in a more efficient and safe manner. Dr. Gidvani's assistant, Drew, is fantastic and a terrific compliment to Dr. Gidvani.

In my opinion, best place ever! Dr. Seago is amazing. I needed a second MAJOR back surgery in 9 years. I was terrified. Everything was all bad with my first surgery and I needed a second one. Dr. Seago did NOT perform my first surgery. I was terrified and he really helped ease that. The surgery he performed was over 8 hours and complicated, fixing what was done prior but he did it and my pain and movement after was SO much better than my first surgery. Even my family members were amazed at the difference. I normally don't do a lot of YELPS but this definitely needed a wonderful YELP!

Dr. Edward Littlejohn and his team replaced my left knee in early November. He has organized a team who beginning with my first visit all through the weeks following anticipated my questions and concerns with perceptive, caring and clearly understood answers. He gave me his Guide to the Knee which alerted me to what was coming and gave me action items to prepare. In the hospital, the entire 6th floor of Good Sam is devoted to joint repair, everyone who attended to my care was kind and competent. I am 7 weeks post-op and doing great. He has obviously listened and learned from his patients over the years and has designed a protocol to aid each patient with the care they need for a swift and successful surgery. His instructions to Silver Creek Physical Therapy are continuing my healing. At 80 years young, I am amazed and grateful to him and his team team. I thank God daily for sending me to Dr. Littlejohn at OrthoNorCal. If I could, I would award him 10++ stars.

In 2017 I met with Dr. Randall Se ago he operated on my spine and did a marvelous job, I can not thank him enough. In June of that year I met with Dr. Edward Littlejohn, he replaced my right knee and he also did a marvelous job. I can not thank these two surgeons enough for how they changed my life. They are the absolute best.
The staff is also the best as they are always courteous and friendly but very professional. Qualities that are hard to find in todays world of tread mill medicine. I highly recommend Ortho Nor Call to anyone who needs quality care.

I hadn't been back to the office to see Dr Abidi since my last review so I wanted to update. I went back as my other foot is now giving me problems. Dr Abidi ordered the same tests on my foot as before xrays, MRI and follow up with Beyond Prosthetics for new insoles and an ankle brace. Dr Abidi is very thorough. It may take time, patience and follow up to find out what the problem is but Dr Abidi knows his business. He also reviewed the xrays and MRI with me and explained what is going on. Unfortunately if this doesn't work surgery may be in my future but I must say I am very grateful that he was willing to work in a conservative fashion with treatment. I am not looking forward to being operated on but if it has to happen I would want him doing the work. I also like the fact that the office has an automated check in system so I can do all of it before I set foot in the office, cuts down on the overall wait time. Dr Abidi is straight forward, no nonsense but he does have a sense of humor. I also have to give a shout out to Jonah the assistant who helps out with the patients. Super sweet and great personal manner.

3 years ago, I had ankle surgery to repair a fracture. The pain never went away, and the doctor who did the surgery just shrugged her shoulders. I went to see Dr. Fisk, who immediately diagnosed the problem: a couple of too long screws shredding a major tendon. She did a quick surgery and removed the screws, and now, a few months later, my ankle is almost as good as new. Getting through on the phone can be troublesome, but it's worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Fisk.

A BIG 5-stars for Dr. Fisk and Jonah. I broke my Tibia bad (2 splits and a break). I'm still in the healing process (6 weeks) ~4 to go before PT. This whole experience has been wonderful because of 2 very big reasons Dr. Fisk and Jonah:
(1) Dr. Fisk is an outstanding doctor and surgeon and communicator. She spent time with me in the initial visit going over the surgery, what to expect, what the extent of the damage to my body was and what to expect short term and long term. She was excellent at direct communication, which I greatly appreciated, even if it was hard to hear. The surgery went exactly as explained; she met with my husband after and gave him the update. Two weeks after the surgery, I met with Dr. Fisk and she explained in very good detail what they found during surgery, gave me a more concise understanding of what to expect both long term and short term. I was impressed that she spent a significant amount of time with me explaining things and answering my list of questions. I was also pleased they wanted to take my stitches out early (glad I followed directions :-) ) Bottom line: Outstanding medical treatment!!!
(2) Jonah...what can I say, AWESOME!!!! Jonah is the interface to everything. I called him whenever I wanted to interface to the office. Jonah would answered the phone right away, or if I left voice mail he returned my call promptly. I think this was the experience ensured my 5-star review. When you're laid up, you worry and have questions...can't sleep, what to do about dry cracking skin, numbness, swelling...really any question. Well, having Jonah as a communication vehicle to the doctor was fantastic. I found that after the first 2 calls, I didn't need to call again. Just having that assurance helped. When I was in the office, Jonah always explained what was going to happen, even what possibilities could happen (e.g. stitches out early). I can't tell you how nice it is to get information and be allowed to process it for a bit. Even when I was going to x-ray and/or casting, Jonah would be checking on me and making sure not only that things were progressing, but that I was comfortable. Jonah has a wonderfully pleasant and professional manner. Thanks TONS, Jonah.
I want to add a couple of quick additions making an overall great experience. *Jessica* in x-ray. Wow, efficient and gentle with those broken bones. :-) Very friendly and makes the process very comfortable.
*Joe* in casting. Great guy!!! A wonderfully professional manner, easy to talk with, gives thorough instructions as to what you, the patient, are supposed to do during casting, but is very kind if you forget to pay attention. :-) Super friendly and helps you get your mind off the casting process.
Here's a quick background on my injury if it helps. I landed hard on my heel from a high jump and my ankle bone jammed up into my tibia. My tibia split in 2 places and a piece broke off. After Good Sam ER (excellent care) I, fortunately, was recommended to Dr. Fisk. After 3 metal plates and 13 screws, I'm on the road to recovery. I will always be grateful to Dr. Fisk, Jonah, and the team.

Some time back when I took a hard fall on my forearm, I suffered a Croll's fracture of the radius. This was misdiagnosed at the time by my first medical contact as a sprain. After three months of benign neglect my wrist had healed in its own fashion, but there was still much swelling of the area and very limited range of motion. Feeling that the first doctor must surely have been mistaken in his diagnosis and approach to the problem, I sought Dr. Sendher's advise on that state of my "sprain." She quickly recognized it as a fracture that had healed in all the wrong ways. The time I had wasted between doctors put me at a disadvantage in terms of ever getting the full use of the wrist back to a normal state. But having warned me to temper my expectations, she then did a surgical open reduction with bone graft, sent me to a specialist in hand PT, and advised me that much of the outcome would likely be up to me in terms of my dedication to doing that the physical therapist recommended.
Well, the road to recovery was indeed a slow slog, but I am happy to report that I now have no swelling in the wrist, no limitations, and full range of motion. My hands and wrists match! Even the scar from the open reduction is very minimal. I can't say enough good things about this doctor's approach to my problem. She was straight-on in her diagnosis, honest about my prospects, and helpful in terms of assisting me to realize that I would have to be part of the solution. I am so grateful. You never realize how important your hands are until something like this happens.
My husband and I have both had very positive experiences with Dr. Cohen as well. He has a very congenial way about him, but truly knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him as well.

First of all, let me say, that Dr. Gidvani and his staff have been wonderfuls, but I have not had the surgery yet.
My review is on the staff who book appointments and answer the phones.
The first time I called I was in horrible pain, on my back, at home. My insurance web-site said Orthonorcal was a PPO. I called Orthnorcal, the woman on the phone was very rude. While I was on the phone with her, I was also looking at my insurance information on thie website. That page had all of my information and the insurance company, Anthem BlueCross, information. She told me I had to call my insurance and get a different number from them (I don't remember what she called it) before Orthoqnorcal could confirm they were a PPO. I didn't understand why I had to do that, no other PPO has needed me to do that, but I said Ok, and called BlueCross. Bluecross did not know why she needed the number, but they gave it to me. I called Orthonorcal back, I got a different woman on the phone. She was worse than the first one. She didn't care about that number, she wanted the zip code for BlueCross that was on the back on my card! My card was downstairs. I told her I was looking at the BlueCross web site for coverage and I had all the information. She insisted on the zip code that was on the card. Keep in mind, I am in terrible pain. I told her this, and I told her the card was downstairs and there was no one to get it for me. She was awful. Her tone of voice was very rude and I was starting to get cranky and frustrated. Finally I told her I would get up and get the zip code, just give me a minute. She hung up on me! I almost didn't call her back. But a while later I finally did. She finally confirmed they were a PPO for my insurance and made the appointment. It was a terrible experience. I have never gone through so many hoops to confirm a provider and make an appointment.Thank goodness Dr. Gidvani and staff are great. The MRI staff are also very nice and professional. But I dread making calls for appointments. I will review again after my surgery.
I'm updating my review of orthonorcal. I had my surgery. Dr. Gidvani was fabulous. El Camino Hospital where I had it done was also excellent. My recovery has been very good and Dr. Gidvani and his staff have been very responsive to my needs. I had a disk implant in my neck at C5/C6 vertebrae.
I also wonder if someone at their orthonorcal facility didn't see my review about their answering service. The last few times I've been there they have been exceedingly nice, and they have been far more responsive when I've had to make phone calls. They still don't get back to you in a timely fashion if you have to leave a message with the appointment desk. I've learned to pick the selection for doctors and medical clinics versus the appointment desk, that way I get attention right away. Overall it has been a very good experience. I will definitely go back there.

After an improbable (and totally clumsy) fall in my house that internally nearly detached my right arm, I was really thankful that Good Sam ER recommended Dr. Kevin Murray of OrthoNorCal. Not only did he surgically reattach all the muscles and tendons and ligaments successfully, but he did it with a personable and calm demeanor and excellent humor!
Just graduated today after a year of treatment (including physical therapy at Quinn PT with the incomparable Tina Beck). Over the last year, Dr. Murray and the staff (Joe and Donna really stand out) treated me with respect and friendship, were clear on the expectations, the amount of work needed to fully recover, supported and cheered my progress and made the year fly by.
I hope never to need an orthopedic specialist again, but if I do, I am headed back to OrthoNorCal and Dr. Kevin Murray

Dr. Gidvani and his assistant Vikram were amazing! Dr. Gidvani was very accommodating in explaining and walking me through the surgical process. I felt very comfortable asking question pre and post surgery. Vikram was very helpful and diligent in getting back to me with any paper work or converns I had over the phone. Overall, I had a great experience with OrthoNorCal. The whole team (front receptionists, coordinators, X-ray techs) were all very friendly and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Dr. Fisk saw me for my broken foot after it didn't heal as anticipated. She took her time explaining things to me, put me on an anti-inflammatory that really helped, and helped me heal. She is very personable and has a great bedside manner. I would go back (but hopefully won't have to).

You Just Never Know
You never know when you'll need a truly great surgeon but one thing for sure, when you NEED one you want the absolute BEST.
So, when my husband took a great fall from a ladder in our front yard and hit the concrete like a fragile Humpty Dumpty, I was assuming I'd get the BEST care available from the closest hospital.
That was not the case.
Instead of receiving the immediate care he needed for his seriously fractured leg he was treated so poorly I saw tears in his eyes. There was my strong husband in so much pain it made him cry in agony.
I refuse to even go into that mess due to the stress is STILL causes us both when we even THINK of that hideous place.
Frightened by the lack of care we received I immediately took my husband home and began searching for a surgeon we could TRUST.
This is where things get better.
We called NorCalOrtho and got in as soon as possible. My husband was treated with dignity and kindness beginning with the front desk staff. The gentle care of those ladies at the front desk was such a breath of fresh air after what my husband had been through at the hospital I first took him to. The front desk of any facility is its first connection to the patient. This place has it all down pat! It's not fake... they truly care about you as a human being and in the end that's all any of us truly want.
We were introduced to Erica G. Fisk MD and her assistant Makena. Instantly we could tell that they were truly dedicated to to their work. Both of them recognized the great amount of pain my husband was is and the severity of his injuries and took immediate action to help him. No horsing around with these two. Patient comfort was their first concern and from there they quickly assessed what measures needed to be taken as soon as possible. They both kept us abreast of everything going on with his leg and made us feel comfortable making the decisions we needed to make from there on.
Immediately I wanted to gush all over these two women thanking them with all of my heart. NOW WE KNEW WE WERE IN GREAT HANDS. What a relief for us both.
There were tricks and tangles with our insurance which the NorCalOrtho staff was kind enough to help us understand and work through with us- kinda holding our hand a bit.
We'd never been hurt before so neither of us knew a thing about this end of our medical insurance.
What a relief to have such well informed, calm and helpful folks to guide us through this mess.
Amazing!
Never having a broken bone before, my husband was very nervous about his surgery. Dr. Fisk was on top of everything and that alone made us feel that he was in good hands. Still, surgery is scary if you've never experienced it before but there Dr. Fisk was with Makena by her side walking us through each step carefully and kindly.
Truthfully, this made a HUGE difference in how we both felt as he was wheeled into surgery. I didn't feel stressed out or worried at all. Honestly, I felt calm and I was able to focus on giving my husband all of my positive energy and that was a blessing.
After surgery he had more visits and then the casting began. The staff members who helped him with each of his casts and 2 braces were very knowledgeable in their field and were gentle, kind and caring each visit. It made us feel GREAT to be treated so well. They explained each thing they did and why, how to use the casts or braces and what to look out for. Good information with a sincere smile. How nice!
My husband ended up having three surgeries in which he received care from Dr. Erica Fisk and in each case she was superior. Absolutely PRIMO! She cared enough to show up on time, explain everything she was going to do in detail, ask my husband about his physical being before surgery, ask him if there was anything else he was concerned about before opening him up (he said he had pain in his ankle and pointed to it) and informed us that IF she found anything where he had pointed to she would take care of that during his surgery. As it turned out there was a problem area and she did take care of it. After his surgery Dr. Fisk came out into the waiting room outside and clearly define what the problem was, how she corrected it and how long it would take for my husbands new surgery to heal. She even took photos of the surgery for me so I could actually SEE what she saw and how she corrected it for him.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Now THIS IS REAL HEALTH CARE!
Care. Go look it up.
To CARE for someone is to attach IMPORTANCE to them. They are important. To CARE for someone is the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance and protection of someone.
Dr. Erica Fisk CARED for my husband.
So, you might be asking yourself some time in your life where you can find a surgeon who truly CARES for their patients.
LOOK NO FURTHER!!
If you find yourself or ANYONE you care about in need of GREAT MEDICAL CARE go directly to NorCalOrtho and ask for Dr. Fisk.

I am yelping Dr. Gidvani. I have had chronic neck pain and nerve pain for 4 years now and this year decided with his help to have surgery to fix two herniated disks. I had tried everything with other doctors, like therapy, chiropractor's, steroid injections and massage, but they wouldn't last long and some made it worse. I finally found Dr. Gidvani through my insurance. It was my first time dealing with the doctor so I was little hesitant seeing that I wanted surgery. After the first meeting, I knew he was the guy and I moved forward. I had surgery on my neck and can say today I am 100% pain free and have most of the motion back in my neck. I can now do the things I used to do with any pain. Pain make you old and I feel like I am getting my youth back again. I highly recommend Dr. Gidvani for any back related injury. He worked wonders on my neck and I am so glad I picked his name when it came time to have this procedure done. 2 Thumbs up and 5 stars!

As someone who works in the Medical Field, I tend to be a little "picky" about service and care I receive for myself and my kids. That being said, I loved Dr. Kanel.. My son broke and dislocated his hand very badly during lunch at school. By 2pm we were sitting in Dr Kanel's office. Due to him fitting me in I was able to avoid having to take my son to an ER. And 6 weeks earlier when my son had a minor fracture in his leg (of course a weekend)...we were at the ER and Dr Kanel was called because we had taken my other kid to see him so our family was "established" with his office. The ER Dr didnt feel the Specialist needed to come to see us at the ER but just to let Dr Kanel know what happened and let him know what they did for my son in the mean time. Not only did he call me that same day, but he checked in again the following day to see how he was doing and to let me know he'd make sure to get him in the next day (Monday). The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the front desk staff can be a little short and less than welcoming. But that could happen to anyone, anyday, any dr office. I also ask my fellow Yelpers to keep something in mind when you are writing a review about a Dr. If you are seen in an ER...the Dr isn't always on call and if they are not, yes...it may take time for them to get to the ER. If that is the best specialist for your injury/illness and they are not on call, wouldn't you rather wait than get someone who isn't the best? Also, the result you are "hoping for" isn't always realistic or the best way to treat whatever you are dealing with. Don't give a Dr a bad review just because things didn't go according to YOUR plan or ideas. Believe me, if anything I'm harsher than the average person.

I came in to see Dr. Murray after seeing another surgeon for pain in my shoulder. My previous doctor gave me 3 separate cortizone shots over a few months that didn't work. I came in to see Dr. Murray for a second opinion and decided because of his knowledge, experience with sports injuries and compassionate nature, that I would have him perform my surgery. We found that there was A LOT more going on in my shoulder than previously diagnosed. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Murray, because my shoulder is much better after surgery and I really enjoy going to see him and his friendly staff. It's important to feel like you are cared about, and I get that at OrthoNorCal. His assistant, Rudy is great too!

I saw Dr. Kevin Murray here first for knee pain, and then again for foot pain. He has a very personable way about him and I am very happy that I was able to be in his care. So the knee is getting better although I have to give up some high impact activity that I don't want to.
The foot pain which has been bothering me for years is now GONE!! He gave me some small exercises to do every day and it WORKS! It's unbelievable! I couldn't be more thankful!

Dr. Sandeep Gidvani essentially gave up most of a weekend to operate and relieve back pain and herniated discs that had resulted in a hospital admission. I walked out of the hospital hours after back surgery and have not needed pain medication for the 3 weeks since. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is a wonderful, caring doctor.

Dr. Kanel is absolutely fantastic! My 16 year old ruptured her achilles tendon playing soccer and since her first visit, he has taken the utmost care in her surgery and healing process. The decisions he has made for her have been spot on and never once has he been unavailable to answer any of our questions. He has tremendous bedside manner and treated my daughter and I with absolute respect and kindness. I am so thankful for my doctor's referral to Dr. Kanel. He is one in a million. :)

I have 4 very active children and in the last 7 years there have been 15 broken bones, two surgeries and countless other injuries that Dr. Kanel has treated/performed. I cannot express how grateful we are to have had our children in his care. Dr. Kanel has gone above and beyond the call of duty! He is an outstanding physician, very skilled as a specialist and well respected in his field. Dr. Kanel is always very professional, great with the kids, direct and honest. There isn't another surgeon I would trust more, to help my children, than Dr. Kanel.

Great experience, beginning to end
My 17 year old son was assessed in the ER and as a result we were referred out to Dr. Kanel. After meeting with Dr. Kanel we decided surgery was needed. As we did our research we found out that Dr. Kanel was the right doctor to perform the needed surgery. Dr. Kanel is the right doctor for you if you have the following needs:
patient advocate
experienced
trustworthy
skilled
knowledgeable about different situations (ours was a very unique situation which he correctly diagnosed from the MRI - and he reassured us the entire way)
Even though we did not anticipate the situation, Dr. Kanel made it easier to deal with as we went through the process of diagnosis,surgery and recovery.

And for me it's about the wonderful care and world class surgery and after care I received from Kevin Murray.After being told by other staff members that surgery was not a good option for me and as an active old guy I was bummed that the medical field had given up on my shoulder .then I was directed to a sports medicine guy named Dr. Murray a true hero in my family as he took on my shoulder long damaged from years of neglect from car racing to skydiving and base jumping and a dislocation that nearly
ended my true love of adventure as a world record holding Hang Glider pilot .Dr. Murray said to me he could give me 70% of the use of my shoulder ,after his care i returned to flying as he became like a brother to me seeing to it that the physical therapist tailored the therapy to my recovery and even had a special brace made for me so I could return as a Hang Glider pilot and got my life back as a active senior and all my children are very happy that we met Dr.Kevin Murray.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Kanel for 14 years now, and he is the reason she can walk today. She was diagnosed with Ollier's Disease, a rare bone disorder, at 3 years old. This disease causes bowing of bones and limb length discrepancies, and in many cases lengthening of the bone is necessary. We took her all over the bay area to find the most experienced doctor to perform this complicated surgery, and we found him right here in Los Gatos. Dr. Kanel performed 2 lengthening surgeries on her femur. He is an expert in this field with years of experience. He is also cutting edge on all new procedures being used out there. Over the years, Dr. Kanel performed around 8 surgeries on my daughter (kinda lost track). He repaired broken bones, did bone graphs and inserted nails and pins into the bone. Without his expertise she would not have legs the same length. We are forever grateful to him. Now that she is full grown our visits to Dr. Kanel have slowed down, but when we have an appointment it's like going to see family. Dr. Kanel has seen us through some very hard times, and it was his kindness and the way he truly cared about all of us that got us through. It is rare to find a doctor who is both compassionate and talented.

My son can walk because of Dr. Jeffery Kanel. My son was born with bilateral clubfoot, meaning his feet were severely twisted at birth. Dr. Kanel started treatment on day two of Zach's life with serial casting (a new cast each week) from foot to hip. It became apparent that surgery would be needed at six months old, and Dr. Kanel was there for us. Zach started walking before he was through with the serial casts following surgery. It was definitely a process, but also very do-able. Zach had a very normal childhood; most of his friends didn't know he had a problem with his feet until he told them.
Learning to drive proved to be extremely painful for Zach; his ankle bones were moving, flexing the connective tissue between the bones. So at 16 he had major reconstructive surgery again. This time his ankle bones were fused together around metal plates . Yes, first the right foot, then the left foot. Eight months in a wheelchair his Junior year in high school. Let's just say memories were made! He is now healed and driving again, working on building up his endurance and strength in his legs.
Dr. Kanel gave Zach so much. He helped us (parents) understand that surgery was absolutely required, and was clear about what to expect in recovery. He kept Zach (patient) laughing and feeling comfortable about the process, even though there was quite a bit of pain to endure.
We first met Dr. Kanel because Zach was born in Los Gatos (close to his office). We got lucky; our pediatrician hunted him down. Thank you Dr. Naughten! We moved out of the area when Zach was almost two. It is worth the 400 mile drive (one way) to be his patient. Nobody else will work on Zach's ankles; I won't let them! His office has been very helpful in scheduling appointments at convenient times due to our long distance situation.
Dr. Kanel is an expert; this is who you want as your orthopedic surgeon. "Thank you" is not enough; we are so grateful!

This time his ankle bones were fused together around metal plates . Yes, first the right foot, then the left foot. Eight months in a wheelchair his Junior year in high school. Let's just say memories were made! He is now healed and driving again, working on building up his endurance and strength in his legs.
Dr. Kanel gave Zach so much. He helped us (parents) understand that surgery was absolutely required, and was clear about what to expect in recovery. He kept Zach (patient) laughing and feeling comfortable about the process, even though there was quite a bit of pain to endure.
We first met Dr. Kanel because Zach was born in Los Gatos (close to his office). We got lucky; our pediatrician hunted him down. Thank you Dr. Naughten! We moved out of the area when Zach was almost two. It is worth the 400 mile drive (one way) to be his patient. Nobody else will work on Zach's ankles; I won't let them! His office has been very helpful in scheduling appointments at convenient times due to our long distance situation.
Dr. Kanel is an expert; this is who you want as your orthopedic surgeon. "Thank you" is not enough; we are so grateful!

So thankful for the excellent care of Dr. Kanel! He fixed my daughters arm after she broke it. She had surgery at 18 months and a cast for a month. All the office staff has been so kind and helpful. Thank you for making a scary situation for our family as positive as possible!

I've seen Dr Seago for years (ex race car driver turned cyclist). I recently was hit on my bike. Dr Seago was out of town so Dr Kanel took care of me, inserting a plate and 8 screws to repair my clavicle. Dr Seago, Dr Kanel and the entire office staff were wonderful to me and made the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances. The work Dr Kanel performed, putting my clavicle back together, was great. 2 weeks later, I'm able to use my arm to do daily things and expect to be back on the bike in 2 more. Dr Kanel was very friendly, pleasant, caring, gentle and understanding of my needs. I highly recommend OrthoNorCal to anyone that has any Orthopedic needs.

Five stars don't even come close to the amount of stars Dr. Kanel and his staff should receive in my review. If I were to write a memoir of my life as a parent to a child with Cerbral Palsy my encounters with this office would take up a good portion of the book. Those chapters would be among the most heartfelt and inspiring part of my story and my daughter's. His expertise goes beyond his ability as surgeon (which has been remarkable.) He understands my daugher and addresses her needs, he listens to her and recommends what is best for her. As for Gloria Werkema . . . don't even get me started. She can take a saw to my daughter's leg anytime (for the purposes of cutting off a cast of course.) Dr. Kanel came to me by way of a recommendation from my pediatrician 15 years ago and by my sister whose daughter had hip surgery. I have referred him to countless other parents who have all had great experiences. Dr. Kanel even treated me for what I was convinced a broken ankle. To our relief . . . the ankle was only sprained.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jeffrey Kanel for more years than I can remember. He is a very caring doctor who agreed to take my case even though I am not a pediatric patient. My medical issues are very complex and have often necessitated referrals to other specialists. Dr. Kanel has always made sure that I got the best care possible. He also has a good sense of humor, which I appreciate. His staff is great, particularly Gloria Werkema. At times I have needed a lot of paperwork done and Gloria worked her way through it all.

Dr. Kanel is an amazing surgeon. I had severe knee pain. Turns out it was hyperextended for 34 years due to an accident in 1979. My shin bone needed to be broken again so it could heal straight this time. Dr. Kanel did the needful osteoplasty with an external fixator. After 6 mos., all was great! He even lengthened my leg to match the other, fixing all kinds of back pain from which I suffered for decades. As others have said, his bedside manner may not be as warm and comforting as some may prefer. But when it comes to a complex surgery like mine with osteoplasty, Dr. Kanel knows his stuff where it counts! Wish I would have met many him years ago!

This is a review for Dr. Kanel over at OrthoNorcal.
I came to Dr. Kanel with a rotational problem in the tibia after years of pain which disabled my prior level of sports performance and was a huge concern for as long as i can remmember. A slew of orthopedic specialists and co-pays could not solve my problems and it seemed a cure was hopeless.
When i came to Dr. Kanel's office there was an immediate sense of professionalism. I was treated very kindly by all the staff and everyone was willing to work with the fact i lived about an hour away from the office. My Xrays were done in an organized process, and all insurance affairs were handled smoothly and immediately, there have not been delayed or unexpected bills coming in like they had with other doctors i had seen.
Upon meeting Dr. Kanel it was obvious he is very skilled in communicating with his patients. He really cares about you as a person. not you as a room number or just another patient. He takes his time with each appointment and dedicates himself to truly assessing a situation. he examined me the longest of any other orthopedist i met with. Dr. Kanel was also hugely respectful of my mom and I's financial situation, providing unrivaled medical care along with going above and beyond to make his expert care affordable. I can never thank him enough.
I am not a yelp reviewer in general. i am a patient who found the true concern and medical expertise of Dr. Kanel and this establishment to be so stellar that i felt a duty to help make it standout, as it is so far beyond the care i have received anywhere else in my life. If you are in need of orthopedic care, and want the best for yourself or your child, look no further.
I saw Dr. Murray for my knee injury. He helped diagnose the issue very quickly and provided me with all the information I need for next steps and addressing the root cause.
(Translated by Google) The truth is they have very good treatment and the surgeon speaks Spanish and shows you on a screen and explains the damage perfectly. THANK YOU I RECOMMEND IT ✅ (Original) La verdad tienen muy buen trato y el doctor cirujano habla español y te muestra en una pantalla y te explica Perfectamente los dańos.GRACIAS LO RECOMIENDO✅
Thank you so much for going above and beyond. I was about to call you today. Weekend was little tough adjusting. Show is little bigger and her mid foot seems inverted and unable to dorsiflex as much. Night we are doing a ace wrap and . I am worried if any other metatarsal fractures or injuries .
I went to Dr Kenneth Mensch for carpal tunnel and he also found a unexpected ganglion cyst which he removed. He has a great bedside manner, love that he wears cowboy boots as his chosen accessory goes along with his personality that puts you at ease. His staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
Dr. Murray is the best! He is a great listener and very attentive. He speaks in plain English. He did my meniscus repairs. And I am very thankful. If you’re looking for a Doctor who cares, he is your man.
Having dealt with Dr. Coe some 14 years ago on my lower back,when some issues came up, I sought help with him again. That was when I saw Dr. Gidvani and sought his help. I had 3 cloapsed discs & pressure on my neck nerves along with much Arthritis. He operated on my spine through my neck , I still don't know how he did it!! I was 78 & just turned 79. This is the best I have felt in years! A very successful outcome. A really amazing staff & professional group in all. I have recommended him to others! Paul Dorsa
Awesome Dr Kevin Murray helped my with mom left knee with pain that she had past one year now she’s pain free I recommend Dr. Kevin Murray he is an excellent doctor
It was a pleasure being Dr Gidvani patient. He:s very professional and courteous and to the point. I highly recommend him
I recently visited the Golden State Orthopedic & Spine with Dr Cohen’s care team. I am impressed their excellent and efficient service. The staff at the facility made me feel comfortable and well care for. Dr Cohen is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions plus explained everything in details. He also issued me all the examinations that I need and informed every steps of the way. I appreciate the time and the efforts Dr Cohen and his team spend on me. High recommend!
After I broke my arm I was pleased with the care I received here. It was easy to get appointments as needed and Dr Cohen was clear about the steps to my recovery and listened to my concerns.
Good afternoon, Dr. Gidvani. I am very grateful to you and your entire team. I had my surgery today and I feel great; the pain is gone, and that makes me very happy. I'm still waiting to see how I'll feel tomorrow, but I'm committed to following everything to the letter to recover soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your excellent care and professionalism. I'd be happy to leave a recommendation.
Golden State Orthopedics did a great job with my spinal surgery. The communication was clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
I had the pleasure of discussing my medical challenges with Dr.Sagoo this week. He's a great listener and extremely kind, professional, intelligent and caring. I love his incredible staff as well, they're awesome. I'm grateful and encouraged with the options available to help my knee issues. I highly recommend Dr. Sagoo! Sincerely, -Gwendolyn Taitt-Relf
Muy amables
Dr. Abidi is the best. Has been taking care of my knees and hips for quite awhile. Is patient and honest with my problems and listens to me.
Dr. Kevin Murray is a very knowledgeable doctor for meniscus tear surgery. He is a good, patient, compassionate and caring doctor. He takes time to answer all my questions candidly and show interest and care on my knees issue. Highly recommended...
Dr. Sagoo was very professional, focused, answered my detailed questions, showed diagram of exactly the parts of my right hip that would be replaced, and explained what would be involved in the surgery. I hope to have an excellent experience with recovery during and post surgery. Highly recommend him!
Dr Sagoo is very thorough and has great bedside manner! He is easy to understand and he explains everything.
I have been so fortunate to be a patient at Golden State Orthopedic and Spine. I had gone to Dr. Mensch for my hands. He did surgery to fix painful arthritis issues in my knuckles. Recently I have been having horrible what I thought was sciatica pain. I had been urgent care and my general practitioner but continued to have pain with rest, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. I called GSOS and was able to get in with Dr. Gidvani. He immediately ordered X-rays and an MRI and he found that my L4 & L5 were the issue and my nerves were being pinched causing the pain. Dr. Gidvani explained the issue very clearly and I am moving forward with treatment to relieve this painful issue. I am so thankful that he took the time to get these tests ordered right away.
Dr Gidvani seems very knowledgeable and was highly recommended by my internist. I did feel a bit rushed during the appointment. It all was a new topic for me so I was a bit slow myself.
Thorough examination, patiently explained all the details
I came to doctor J Kanel twice for different problems. Knowledgeable, experienced, patiently answered all my questions, provided the right diagnosis both times.
Very nice and very helpful
Very good doctor and staff.
Ed talking about
I love coming to this doctor Dr sagoo is the best he has been on top of everything with my knee replacement.
Dr. Jeffrey Kanel did couple of surgeries on my both legs and he did an awesome job. I will recommend him always.
Doctor was in a hurry..
Doctor was in a hurry.
As a patient, I appreciate Dr. Sagoo who answered my questions and concerns in every visit. He is professional and patient. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Sagoo replaced both my hips. I'm really happy with the results, I had a quick recovery, now I'm good as new!
Couldn't ask for a better surgeon and a careing Man
I went to see Dr Gidvani with pain in a my back and weakness in my left foot. He was able to quickly get me a scan and determined, he gave me a range of options including surgery, which I chose and have been so happy I went with him. The results were excellent and their care and follow-up have been outstanding. Highly recommend.
I am a doctor who has been in practice in the Los Gatos-San Jose community for 25 years. I sought out Dr. Daljeet Sagoo to perform hip operations on my wife and elderly mother. They both have had excellent outcomes. I admire Dr. Sagoo’s surgical expertise and bedside manner. I recommend him to anyone seeking Orthopedic consultation.
Very good visit I had w/ him
Dr been explain my status clearly. But I got upset that I requested my MRI report by calling the office. The lady told me is portal, I am not familiar with this name. Good thing my daughter with me, I am able to log in . But my family Dr wants the MRI report, so I visit the office again to request the report. I been told will be about a week or earlier, will call me to pick up. But Bern over a week, no phone call. I call left msg, no reply. Even my family Dr call, somebody said will fax to Dr office, but my Dr never received. How can I get my report to get second opinion? I also need the CD too. I willing to pay🙏🙏
Dr. Cohen is a great surgeon, and a really nice guy, too. He did my right shoulder 15 years ago and it still works just fine. Thank you, Dr. Cohen!
First visit.
Dr Nicholas Abidi is extremely knowledgeable, practical and professional. Highly recommend
Very professional to the point.
Dr.Abidi Fused My left Subtalar Joint in 2005, I Appreciate his Straight to the Point, in-depth explanations, no BS. We are now doing four more surgeries and he is the only one I trust. His professionalism is far and above most. Thank you.
Dr. Jeffrey Kanel has treated my son on three occasions, and each experience has been outstanding. The first was when my son was just 7 and suffered an elbow fracture that required surgery. Thanks to Dr. Kanel’s exceptional skill, the results were flawless, and my son regained full motion in his arm. Two years later, at age 9, my son twisted his knee playing football. Once again, Dr. Kanel expertly managed his recovery, ensuring he healed without the need for a surgery and without any complications. Most recently, at 16, my son needed knee surgery due to another sports injury, and Dr. Kanel once again delivered remarkable results. My son fully recovered and I can't be more thankful for the incredible care he received. I feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Kanel as our family's Orthopedic Physician. His professionalism, skill, precision, and compassionate care are truly unmatched. I couldn’t ask for a better physician and surgeon and wholeheartedly recommend him!
Had reverse shoulder replacement. Very little post surgery pain. Loved the "cradle", made the post surgery remarkably comfortable
Dr. Mohan was very pleasant and explained what my problem was and the possibilities of treatment.
Highly recommend
I am very pleased to be under the care of Dr. Cohen. He was highly recommended by my cousin, who is a physician. Dr. Cohen is a very experienced orthopaedic surgeon and did an excellent job treating my fractured upper arm without surgery. I am very grateful for his care!
I went to see doctor Sandeep Gidvani for consulting about my back pain. 3 assistants came in the room one after the other and each of them asked the same questions about my symptoms. The last one looked at my X-ray and MRI and provided some information. Finally the doctor came in and spent 5 to 10 minutes describing the back problem and how to fix it. He left the room and one of his assistants came in with a piece of paper highlighting the kind of operation doctor would do. I told him that I would think and do my own research about the operation and would let them know my decision. When I came home I noticed that I had 3 disk bulging. It raised a question for me as why he would operate on one disk and not all 3. Later on I asked my own physician and she explained it for me. Since doctor Gidvani did not spend enough time with me, I could not think of my questions at that time. Doctor Givani was very nice but it seemed like he was in a hurry to finish the session sooner than normal. The other concern was that I felt the radiology technician was not courteous enough towards me and it was not a warm and friendly environment. Another issue was why 3 assistants had to see me before I see the doctor. And lastly, when I saw my regular doctor, she said that she had not received the consulting report yet, and that was 10 days.
Nathaniel Cohen is a doctor who listens. Awesome.
I am a 78 year old woman with a common age related issue of low back pain that kept me from taking walks or being very active. I took action rather than bemoaning the situation. I made an appointment with Dr. Sandeep Gidvani after reading his impressive profile online. My first appt. I was impressed that they had an in house xray which showed my problem to Dr. Gidvani. He met with me explained several options, at my age I wasn’t wasting anytime. I chose a very effective surgery to correct my problem discs. I was scheduled & the surgery done. After healing I had no pain. I feel like it was a miracle that I found a great doctor like Dr. Gidvani and his team. Oh yes, I still have a little arthritis but nothing compared to what it was.
The dr seems through and trys to cover all es.
Dr. Murray has provided excellent care and I couldn't be more pleased with the results of his treatment. Phyllis Carroll
Exelente Dr.
Great presence. Great Dr
He is awesome
Dr looks professional.
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 Sagoo is great if I needed to refer someone it would be to him
Very helpful, kind, listens and answered my questions. Everyone was very nice.
Dr Sagoo is the best surgeon I have ever experienced! Prior to surgery he made you feel safe and assured of the surgeries out come, he gave me step by step instructions for recovery was available anytime I had a question with appropriate solution. I have never experienced such a thorough physician / surgeon before !! I tell all who will listen about Dr Sagoo!! Thank you !!
Doctor is nice.
Dr Cohen was kind and encouraging. I felt relief and hope after seeing my X-ray. I was grateful he took the time to explain it to me.
I had a good experience seeing by Doctor kenel . He is very knowledgeable and understanding
Dr. Sagoo was thorough and thoughtful. He looked through the 3 MRI CDs I brought of my knee injuries and developed a plan of PT and then a cortisone shot. He said the injury was clear and the shots would be highly effective. He was correct and the pain is gone. I was very pleased with the time Dr. Sagoo invested to clearly understand my injuries. I had seen other orthopedic surgeons who recommended expensive treatments before they saw the MRIs. I would highly recommend Dr. Sagoo.
Dr Murray and his team do an outstanding job. A torn meniscus clean up - no pain afterwards, lots of support from pre-op to post-op. Dr Murray is super personable, relaxed and supportive - having never had an operation before he put me at ease all the way through. Very communicative and highly recommended if like me you need surgical intervention.
Dr. Cohen is the best.
Your professionalism has earned my great attitude.
Great at diagnosis and treatment. Patients feel heard and are not rushed. The physicians and treatment staff are excellent and the office staff are pleasant and efficient.
Overall the service was good. There was just a bit of miscommunication about which physician I should be seeing next. I think my only wish would have been to have gotten a diagnosis faster but it wasn’t terribly slow and required three different appointments so I understand.
The service is great and dr. Giovani it’s a real good doctor
Very good
My visits with my doctor were very helpful.
Dr. Mohan was very efficient, kind and had a great sense of timing when delivering the shocks for the EMG. He explain what was going to happen and made the experience easy.
I see Dr Nathaniel Cohen at this place. Dr Cohen is very professional and kind and answered my questions, his assistants are very helpful. At the end, Dr Cohen prescribed a medication for 5 days. My symptoms were gone the second. Amazing . I am lucky I found Dr Cohen. Thank you!
Thorough analysis and good service
Dr Gidvani is a good Doctor. My friend had him as well & she sed he was good before & after her surgery.
Dr Sagoo is excellent. I appreciate the fact he is taking care of my problem.
My son received treatment and surgery from Dr. Kanel for a broken arm. Throughout the process, Dr. Kanel was attentive, listened closely, and provided clear and thorough explanations. Thanks to his care, my son’s arm has healed beautifully with no lasting issues. I believe Dr. Kanel is a trustworthy doctor, and I am truly grateful for his help in healing my son’s arm.
My name is Christopher Check. Needed what I call emergency surgery on my hip. Was referred 2 Golden State Orthopedics where I met Dr. Sagoo. Not only did his practice welcome & calm me w/ open arms. He personally moved me up on the his patient waiting list fr. 2 mos. out to last week 10/25. Then, did a magnificent job replacing my hip. I feel great now mentally and physically. Dr. Sagoo created the best situation 4 me. He's definitely 5 star & recommend him to all.
Very professional staff !!
Staff is A+, Effeicient and helpful.
I was pleased with Dr Murray’s expertise and professional skills and very satisfied with the results.
He seemed more concerned about my ankle than I was so I figured I better follow his advice.
Thank you
I have been with Dr. Sagoo for a long time and he is one of the best doctors I have had. He really cares for his patients and makes the experience as easy as can be!
Dr. Sagoo is always knowledgeable of all related topics in regards of my injury needs. He is very kind, compassionate and considerate with his patients.
I don’t use google at all! Sorry
Great doctor and very patient
Doctors and staff are extremely competent and giving of their time. Did not feel rushed. A thorough examination was provided explanation of prospective procedures, alternatives and thorough review of MRI and X Rays. Drs. Mohan and Gidvani were excellent and took time to thoroughly discuss my case. Procedure performed by Dr. Mohan was effective in addressing the problem. Have not yet decided on surgery which would be performed by Dr. Gidvani but feel I now have the information and alternatives I need to make the decision.
Best groups of doctors hands down!! My doctor was Dr. Kevin Murray, Orthopedic Surgeon and the best in sports medicine. Injured my right wrist with fracture and dislocation during the HIIT workout beginning of April 2024 . He was the only doctor (after getting opinions from multiple other orthopedic drs in Bay Area) who told me surgery is not required and could be done with cast and braces! I trusted him and I am so glad I did. After several weeks of Physical Therapy and multiple doctor follow-ups, he fully cleared me for exercises. Dr. Murray’s PA, Zachary Claunch (specialized in sports medicine, hand & wrist) is very knowledgeable and approachable with all the question and concerns. Pros- they have X-Ray room, Cast Room and other facilities so you don’t have to go anywhere else. Staff is very friendly. Plenty of parking.
Great outcome, Dr Kim was excellent at explaining the procedure, the benefits and expectations. I would highly recommend
Meeting Dr. Gidvani was very fruitful and helpful. He gived me the necessary optimism. Thanks very much Dr. Gidvani.
I could not replicate pain in my hip, but since then it happens daily . Not doctor fault. Feel I need PT more then once a week.
Dr. Mohan is well trained and is easy to talk. He listens my explanation about my symptoms carefully and gives a simple but clear answer to follow up.
I satisfied doctor consultation and guidance.
Dr. Murray has always taken time to listen and recommend treatments. He is a true professional and always a joy to work with.
Dr. Cohen's surgery helped me to return to playing golf.
Fantastic doctor
EXCELLENT EFFICIENT CARE BY DR. COHEN. HE ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS THOROUGHLY AND DISCUSSED ALL TREATMENT OPTIONS. OUTSTANDING PRACTICE WITH FRIENDLY HELPFUL STAFF. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ORTHOPEDIC CARE
Dr Seago is very knowledgeable, very clear in his thoughts and communication and very helpful. Answered all my questions and did not rush me out.
He is the best doctor !!! I was a little scared because it was my first surgery ever and he made me feel really comfortable and I was in great hands .
Great job
Solid visit. Good level of confidence.
I had an MRI here and it required an injection of some kind of dye. Anyway, needles make me nervous and the injection itself was scary for me but the doctor who did my injection was really sweet. The hero though was the PA who walked me through the process and answered my questions and was so encouraging and understanding of my anxiety. I am bummed I didn't get his name but I hope he knows he makes a difference in peoples lives! He genuinely made a huge difference in what could have been a tough appointment. Excellent experience all around

Very good service Thank you
I’m so pleased with this medical provider. I’ve had the same orthopedic doctor for over 30yrs and would recommend him/them to everyone. The office is comfortable while you wait and the staff is awesome
I have now had both of my knees replaced by Dr Abidi and would highly recommend him and his office staff. He explains everything thoroughly makes you feel comfortable when you're going to have the surgery, checks on you after the surgery, and both of my knees are doing much better now. Dr Ray is also excellent usually does the follow-up appointments.
👍
I would highly recommend Dr. Sagoo as an Orthopedic Surgeon as he replaced my right hip a few years ago and I am certain that I need look no further than Dr. Sagoo in the future for my orthopedic needs should they arise. From my first visit with him to my post surgery visits at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine I was treated very well and this goes not only with reference to Dr. Sagoo but for all of the staff working there. I can't honestly imagine being treated (both medically and personally) any better anywhere. Very professional and mannerful people with whom I was well pleased.
Dr Sagoo did my surgery on my fractured femur bone. The results were very good! I would recommend him highly for an Orthopedic Surgeon.
It was very good!
Dr Hendow always took the time to answer my many questions. She and her staff were professional and friendly. I highly recommend her for any of your orthopedic needs.
Dr. Sagoo is “the Doctor’s and Nurses’ Doctor”. Compassionate, considerate of a patients time, professional, a good listener and intelligent. Very happy with my new hip thanks to his outstanding skills.
I am not active on social media but would like to pass along that Dr. Cohen provided me with a thorough and clear explanation of my condition. He listened to my concerns as well as my healthcare goals. We discussed a range of treatment options. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
My husband and I both see Dr Sandeep gidvani. He has done two surgeries on my husband and one on me. He is really excellent.
I am being well informed regarding my up coming total hip replacement in two weeks.
I recently had the pleasure of being seen by Dr. Sagoo, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Sagoo is an absolute professional with a remarkable bedside manner. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and skilled in his field, but he also takes the time to listen to his patients. He made sure to understand my concerns and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. His kind and compassionate approach made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. Sagooo to anyone in need of orthopedic care. He truly stands out for his dedication to patient care and his ability to make every visit a positive experience.
Dr. Murray was wonderful! He quickly determined what was wrong with me and got me into a PT regimen that is helping a lot. Fantastic!
I have been going to GSO&S for almost a year now. From day one to present, I have had zero issues. From the nice ladies at the front desk, to the various Health Assistants that come out to greet you and take you back, it's been great. Everyone has been very helpful and always have a smile on their face. My doctor has been Dr. Kevin Murray. I have been under the care of Dr. Murray for almost a year now. When I first damaged my Achilles, my doctor recommended a specialist to take care of me. This is when I met Dr. Murray. From day one, Dr. Murray has taken the time to listen and answer all my questions and concerns. Never have I felt rushed. Since I am older and still quite active, I unfortunately damaged my left shoulder to the point where I needed surgery. Again, Dr. Murray took the time to explain what was damaged and more importantly, what to expect before and after the surgery. Dr. Murray has an amazing surgical team as well. From the moment I entered the door, everyone made sure my needs were met. They could see how nervous I was and did all they could to ease my stress. 100% - Top notch group of people. Post surgery, Dr. Murray has monitored my healing progress, and come this August, I will have one last check up with him on my shoulder. It feels amazing! I have to also mention his assistant, Zack, that has been looking over me as well. Zack is extremely bright and also takes the time to make sure all my questions and concerns are covered. Well, as fate would have it, I have now damaged my right meniscus and the process of having an MRI done. Dr. Murray is not only an amazing physician, but a good person as well. In this day and age, it's quite refreshing.
Knows his stuff & kind
Dr Cohen was very professional and caring
Will give complete review later.
Dr. Kanel did a great job of diagnosing and fixing my son's broken elbow. We got the appointment the same day which was really helpful
Personable, knowledgeable, excellent care.
Attention to detail, professionalism, time spent .
Efficient, curious and thorough in diagnosis and care.
Very profesional.
Dr. Kanel is really careful and patient Really appreciated his work and take a good care of my little girl while she had her broken arm Appreciated
Excellent service
Dr. Kanel is really good. His professionalism and detailed explanations made my treatment process smooth and reassuring. His team was efficient and friendly, ensuring timely appointments and follow-ups.
Dr. Mensch was great in my treatments. Very friendly and professional.
I’ve seen Dr. Sagoo to check on my left knee last year, and recently for my right knee. His warm and caring demeanor makes a patient feel that they can trust in his expertise. Based on the other patient reviews, he is consistent in the attention he gives his patients.
Dr Sagoo was what we prayed for in a doctor after experiencing such bad experience elsewhere. He was patient, informative and most of all kind. He has gone beyond the call of duty to get us the help my husband needs for a full recovery.
Plans on moving are on hold until Dr. Gidvani gives me health clearance to do so. His knowledge and abilities have provided the care and comfort I needed after severely hurting my back. This senior citizen is most appreciative!
Dr. Cohen and his staff are the best. He’s taken great care with a torn labrum in my shoulder. Highly recommended!
Great experience. Would definitely go back if needed
Dr Sagoo is the best.
I was in search of a specialist for my neck in the area and found Dr. Sandeep Gilvani. His extensive experience in cervical spinal issues and positive patient reviews convinced me to choose him. My experience with Dr. Gilvani was wonderful. He is very kind and knowledgeable, always ensuring the right treatment and thorough care. Despite the time-consuming tests, I believe in investing time for the best results. I highly recommend Dr. Sandeep Gilvani for anyone facing cervical spinal issues.
All Good.
I had been experiencing increasing pain in my lower back and made an appointment with Dr. Mohan. I was able to quickly schedule an appointment, and after an MRI he recommended steroid shots. This was also scheduled quickly and my back is much better now. Dr. Mohan is very caring, conscientious and great at diagnosing issues and providing the best care. His office person Brandon, is wonderful. So often medical office personnel are unhelpful and hard to reach. Brandon is the opposite of that and makes the whole experience that much better.
Dr Seago is one of the best surgeons with whom I have had the privilege of working during the past 20+ years. His skill and positive outcomes are the reasons why I chose him to do my c5 disc replacement one year ago. He is the doctor's doctor.
They did a good job
Dr Hendrow is very knowledgeable and understood my pain and problems. She answered all my questions satisfactorily and calmed me down about my surgery. I will recommend her to my friends and family for their own health needs.
Dr. Gidvani has been my spine doctor for the better part of a decade. He’s an extremely good, knowledgeable and thorough physician. His conservative approach to surgery is what all patients need. His bedside manner and follow through post surgery is what makes him an elite provider. Highly recommended!!! A++
Supper at her job and very likable
Thank you, Dr. Kanel.
Dr. Sagoo is amazing. I was originally told that he is amazing at correcting surgeries that were not performed well. So I figured he must be awesome at doing surgeries well the first time himself. I was so correct. He also is easy to talk with and listens well. Thank you Dr. Sagoo!!!!
Dr Seago is amazing. He had helped me so much with my spinal issues. He’s the BEST!
I've been seeing Dr. Randall Seago for my spinal "problems" / Lumbar pain since 2009, when it first started. Now as I am older, it is getting to the point where he is taking more-serious efforts to deal with it. Over these past 15 years, Dr. Seago has been very open-and-objective about treating my "problem" so that I wouldn't trust anyone-else with providing me with the necessary surgical treatment(s). Not only that, the guy is "Ex-Navy" like me, so why would I trust anyone else ?? One problem however : He has also won the trust of so many-other patients, since the early 80's, that you may find it hard to get an appointment with him as Golden State Ortho. & Spine has him so-heavily booked that he's having a hard time "seeing the light of day" !! If you do get "blessed" with an opportunity to get a "visit" with him, please bring him a beer-or-three, because he really needs it.... (but he'll, then, need to find some conscious hours in the day to drink them...) Good Luck.... Steve Berbick..April 2024
I had 2 successful spine surgeries at Golden State by Dr. Gidvani. Carolyn Jacobsen
exelente dr..
He is polite patient accommodating to patient. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a surgeon.
I first met Dr. Gidvani, at Gloden State Orthopedic & Spine, after injuring my Back in 2017. I lifted a heavy object and blew out the L4 and L5 pads in my spine. I found him to be very friendly and pleasant person. He'll be honest and upfront with you about you condition and what can be done. I've had 2 surgeries with him and both were successful! The last surgery was a Back Fusion, to stabilize my back. In both cases he told me what will happen before the surgery and visited me afterwards in the hospital. He was upfront with me that these is not a cures, but to prevent further injury. I've returned to working full-time now, but I'm very carfull on how I move myself and what I'll lift. You need to be honest with yourself. There are no miracle cures for back injury! Gloden State Orthopedic & Spine is very professional center with X-Ray technicians on site. Getting a Workers Comp appointment can be a bit challenging. You just need to be very, very, very persistent. 😆 I highly recommend Dr. Gidvani and Gloden State Orthopedic & Spine for any Orthopedic & Spine injuries! If I were to need additional Back surgery, this is where I'm going and Dr. Gidvani we be my surgeon!
This was my first time visiting this office and I was quite impressed with the genuine care I received.
Good people that care. Dr. Seago listens and explained what options there are. They also help With appointments for tests saving time. When pain is involved time is very important.
I have been a patient of Dr. Seago’s for several years. He has been the best surgeon that I have ever had. I am so comfortable and confident in him. He has been my miracle worker. I have several medical issues and he understands and considers all. Thank you so much Dr. Seago
I like Dr Seago , He spends time and listen to patients and guide them , He is very knowledgable and professional , I am glad he is my Orthopedic surgeon . Shahla
Pre-surgery and the surgery was excellent. Post surgery I knocked one star off. It was difficult to communicate with the surgeon or his staff. I recommended adding a physician assistant for better communication.The Golden State Portal is not very responsive to patients request. I never received an answer to any questions or requests I posted. The surgeon was never contacted by administrative staff when I tried to make contact with him. That is a big problem.
Dr. Seago gets 5 stars.. He has very good listening skills , doesn't rush , I feel very confident in his recommendations , well thought out , definitely worth the wait . You will be in good hands .
I truly appreciate the thouroughness of the surgical consultation. I learned alot of what was going on with my back, and how to fix it. Thank you for your time and expertise.
Dr Saggo is very good Doctor his staff and he Himself treats the patients friendly. 👍👍👍👍👍
Very good service and informative.
Very thorough exam with results presented in a very understandable way.
Dr. Sagoo was so very kind and compassionate with me. I was apprehensive seeing a new doctor but, I had been told he was very nice. Well as it turned out he is wonderful, he explained what was wrong with my knee In layman’s terms. Together we devised a plan for my treatment. He didn’t just jump to surgery immediately, I was very happy with that decision! I highly recommend Dr. Sagoo for anyone. I am actually looking forward to seeing him at my next appointment.
Very thorough evaluation. Doctor was well prepared. Love that the facility has everything needed. No need to run to radiology, or casting; everything is all there!
Knowledgeable, efficient and friendly
He was very knowledgeable and made sure I knew exactly what was going on.
Dr Abidi is very knowledgeable and thorough.
Professional
.
Dr. Seego appt on 3/13/24. Discussed my wife's constant lumbar spine pain. Doctor discussed recent and in-house x-ray images and results and provided medical assessments of wife's condition. Unfortunately, he said there was nothing he could do for her. We highly recommend seeing and talking to Dr. Seego regarding your spine problems. He's very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Very nice and explained in detail about wat needs to be done
I have had the great fortune of receiving care from Dr. Mensch for two separate physical injuries. Dr. Mensch is very committed to patient satisfaction and takes the appropriate time to understand your medical issue and is always willing to explain in detail your medical options. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mensch and his very capable team!
Dr Abidi was very informative and found the problem right away
Helped with specific ideas
Muy bien servicio
Excellent care very friendly people Thank you very much doctor Nathaniel Cohen
Dr. Murray is amazing!
I am at Golden State Orthopedic and spine go a second time. The first time I had a hip replacement done by Dr. Sagoo. The experience was wonderful, so when I needed a second orthopedic doctor I came back . Dr. Cohen answered my questions and made me feel like my surgery will go fine. I am ready to have the surgery and am I know that I am in good hands. The surgery this time is on my shoulder.
Dr. Seago is great
Dr. Gidvani runs a very professional office. He was very good at explaining the possible causes of my pains and next steps to find a solution. I was impressed with his mannerism and knowledge. I highly recommend him.
I have seen so many surgeons and he is by far one the best. He cut straight to the point and explained everything in detail. Dr. Gidvani is awesome.
Friendly, patience
Dr. Kevin Murray has done two rotator cuff surgeries on me, right shoulder 1/18 and left shoulder 1/23. Both surgeries involved multiple tendon tears but Dr. Murray was able to accomplish all repairs. You can trust Dr. Murray.
Professional, concise, precise. Exactly what I want in a medical professional. No extraneous talk, just facts
Dr Moran was very informative and thorough
Came in for a 5 year follow-up on a 2 level cervical disc replacement. I reported some unrelated symptoms in my lumbar area. Dr went ahead and took images and prescribed treatment for that the same day.
We got Very kind explanation from doctor . And staff are really kind and helpful especially in taking X-ray.
I have had neck surgery, 7 vertebrae to be exact from this most professional medical group. I trust them so much. I requested my knee surgery to be done here as well. The most thorough experts I have had work on me. Dr Sandeep Godvanni and now Dr Cohen. Thank you Golden State Orthopedics & Spine.
We had to wait about 30 minutes before being taken in an exam room. Fortunately, the lobby is welcoming and comfortable. We were seen by Dr. Kanel soon after. I appreciated his focused and serious attitude, we talked shortly but were given full attention. The injury turn out to be nothing, but I am glad we met Dr. Kanel. I believe we will be in good hands if we need to see him again in the future.
Extremely efficient office and a friendly, well knowledgeable doctor. Dr. Sagoo was clear, upbeat and helped me put a plan together for recovery. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Gidvani and his team has been very helpful to me and my husband. They helped us in every way they could so that we would not feel overwhelmed with all the pain. Thank you very much for taking care of us.
My experience was very comforting and my options were clearly explained, staff was very helpful.
Dr sagoo, was a fantastic surgeon. I was told it would take a couple months before I could walk without a walker. I used it only a few weeks. Thanks again for everything.
Dr. Sagoo takes a generous amount of time explaining in an easy-to-understand way and in detail your issue or condition, what causes it, and what options there are to treat it. He is reassuring and puts the patient at ease, and provides very effective treatment. I highly recommend him.
Me siento muy agradecido por toda la ayuda y el empeño que el Dr Nathaniel Cohem ha puesto en mis cirugías y recuperación durante el tiempo que me ha atendido. Gracias a él siento cada día menos dolor en mis hombros. Siento que volveré a trabajar pronto. Gracias Doctor. Lo recomiendo totalmente a cualquier persona con lesiones dolorosas.
Doctor Sagoo seems very knowledgeable about my hip joint.
I haven't had any surgeries with him but Dr Seago has been very personable in my visits. He's kept me informed of all of my options, recommending surgery only if absolutely necessary.
It was my first visit with Dr. Gidvani’s office. Dr. Gidvani and his staff work very professionally and efficiently. I was very pleased and hopeful that they will help me with my problems.
It’s really good office very professional and friendly team
Very Professional and knowledgeable
From the staff to Dr. Gidvanni, my experience was personable, I felt listened to and came away with a plan of action.
Thought he was good but seemed in a hurry. I get the idea he’s all business & not to friendly. His staff was very polite, friendly & courteous .
Dr. Blue was fantastic and addressed my issue quickly. Having a proper diagnosis has allowed me to move forward with my training coach and back on the right track. Thank you, doctor!
No comment
Great doctor!
I am speechless , no words can express my gratitude and appreciation to Dr Cohen and Melanie lock . He is so cheerful , he put his ego outside the room , he treated his patients as family members . Melanie lock is the best . I am proud that she is treating me . So cheerful , dedicated , clever , both Dr Cohen and Melanie invest a lot of time with patients. They really give you time to ask and take care of you . And yes , smile makes the difference and cheerful people like Melanie lock and Dr Cohen means a lot and transform a patient from being hopeless to run and recover even before getting the treatment . I will choose both even if I am in diff state . Thank you Melanie for everything . Thx Dr Cohen . Both of you are leading by example and treated me like a family member before being patient . I am proud that I am being treated by both of you . I hope all Drs follow that model in respect for people , caring ,kindness and of course great experience which is the reason why Dr Melanie & Dr Cohen are so humble . Thanks really 🙏
Dr. Blue has been my primary care physician for a few years. He has been able to provide me with suggestions and recommendations that have made significant positive impact on my healt
Dr. Blue is amazing! He is my primary care doctor. He has genuinely good advice for general health and wellbeing. I visit him for my annual physicals and any health issues.
I highly recommend Dr.Tristan Juhan! He is a very talented orthopedic surgeon with a kind & affable manner. My shoulder surgery was a complete success & my recovery went quickly. I am delighted that I now have a shoulder that works well. Having a surgeon that is a good listener & can guide you throughout the process is key!
Dr. Murray showed concern for my issues and communicated what to expect for my surgery and recovery.
Dr. Sagoo has been great. He takes time to explain and answer questions and concerns. I have recently had hip replacement surgery would strongly recommend him
Dr Sagoo was kind, gentle and wonderful!
Dr. Blue is very patient. He's thorough, talking time to explain the test results with me. He's working closely with me to make sure I meet my needs for my medical care. He's a calm and thorough doctor! I would recommend him to everyone!!!
Been seeing Dr Blue for about 3 years. He has been great. Together we go over blood work with detailed explanations for each profile. He is a great internist and even better with sports injuries as an Orthopedic specialist. I would highly recommend Dr. Blue as your possible physician!
Dr Blue and his staff have always been excellent, whether handling appointments, prescription refills, or treatment. Dr Blue always listens and reflects a genuine interest in the patient and their best health. I highly recommend Dr Blue and his staff to anyone needing an excellent GP and sports physician.
I was referred to doctor Blue by a friend of mine who also goes to his practice and when I first met doctor Blue. I was a medical nightmare and I credit him with saving my life. I appreciate his attentiveness to care giving has a great bedside manner. Overall, I would recommend him. To anybody. Also, his staff are very friendly and helpful.
Dr. Blue is the best overall physician in the Bay Area. I travel 2 hours to see him, he is that good. Highly recommended. I have been under his care almost a decade and I am in fine health. Thank you Dr. Blue
Pleasant, thorough, and caring. Most informative doctor I've ever had.
Dr. Blue is Great! He takes his time to listen to you and real wants to help.
I carefully hand picked Dr. Blue a while back, probably more that 10 years now he has been our trusted family Doctor. When I first met him he was in a different practice, then he joined another practice, we follow him and now he decided he start his own practice, well guess what ? We will follow him again. The only issue I can think about each time something need to be checked is what will I do when Dr. Blue retired ? He is my family favorite Dr. not only he is very good at what he does he is also a good listner, he listen at your suggestions and use that based on his knowledge. Dr. Blue never said what you want to hear, he always tell you the truth and will help you to overcome your issue, gives you all the alternatives on how you can better your health. He makes you very very comfortable on discussing your issues. My entire family really value his profesionalism and friendliness to make you feel going to see your Dr. is not a task its something you wanted to do since you have a Dr. you can actually trust and is listening to you and happy to help you. A Doctor that returned your call on weekend because you have covid and need a medication ? To my family that beyond being a Doctor. To us as long as Dr. Blue is in practice he has our back
Dr Seago is the ultimate professional and very skilled spinal orthopedist. Unlike many practitioners, he takes the time to really explain the condition to the patient in a language they can understand. He is also an exceptional listener. My lumbar situation is somewhat complicated and he considers all conservative approaches first before recommending surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Seago to any patients that require spinal orthopedics.
I saw Dr. Blue for a hip problem and he was very thorough, kind and professional. He explained everything and took his time. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Blue is the best. Will give you labs, prescriptions, etc. when you need or ask for them (within reason.) Saved my life when I had a blood clot, got me over to the hospital in time. I will go to him as long as I can.
Dr. Sagoo was very friendly, patient, informative, and comforting.
Dr Abidi was very informative and explained my options. I don't understand why I was sent a post op survey since I have not had surgery yet.
Dr. Blue is my primary care Dr. and my "go-to" for sports injuries. After some bloodwork he saw that I was prediabetic and advised of some small lifestyle changes (low carbs and exercise 2x/week minimum). After a two-month follow-up and following his advice my A1C levels dropped back to normal! Fast forward a few years I injured my knee skateboarding and he diagnosed a torn MCL, sprained LCL and partially torn ACL. After the torn ligaments healed I was back skateboarding and playing sports after just three months of rehab. I now have Dr. Blue take care of my son for his basketball-related injuries. I won't go anywhere else.
Dr Gidvani was amazing. All the X-ray, pre-op, hospital staff I came in contact with couldn’t say enough great things about him as a surgeon. They all said I was in the best hands with him. And I was! Very experienced, knowledgeable, caring surgeon.. I had very intensive lower back surgery I was nervous, but he did an amazing job. My only frustration was contacting the staff through the main number before the surgery. Sometimes I didn’t get a callback for a few days. Not always, but frustrating. Other than that my experience was fantastic. I highly recommend Dr Gidvani!!!
I had a fracture in my left arm and GoodSam emergency referred me to Dr. Kanel after X-ray confirmed a minor fracture. Front desk accommodated me and gave a next week day appointment. Everything was smooth on arrival and the staff were very friendly . No long waiting at the doctor’s exam room. He was very understanding, showed the X-ray on the screen and explained everything to put me at ease. Huge relief to hear it was only a hairline fracture. The whole experience deserves a 5 star rating. Highly recommend Dr. Kanel
Everything went well and was very professional
Very good doctor
Dr Blue is the best physician I had. He is attentive, caring and most of all he knows the practice very well.
Fantastic medical group highley reccomend them
Personable caring easy to understand, accurate with outcome predicted.
Dr abidi is very therol and takes the time to make sure you understand the staff is also very nice and follows through
Doctor Cole is very good doctor. He’s been taking care of me since 2022 of May. My progress is going good. I’m glad he’s there for me. I will recommend him to everybody he is still taking care of me and I’m doing well and he’s very understandable he is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had I do appreciate him and all staff have been appreciated. Thank you Dr. Cole. I’ll see you my next appointment.
Dr. Blue is not only a great and caring doctor but also very very concerned about his patients. He is an amazing person and always the professional.
Everybody in the office is very nice and helpful.
I’ve been with Dr.Cohen for 16 years. He is the best doctor. I’ve ever been with he’s very compassionate and I highly recommend him to all my friends and family and I was recommended from a family member to his medical practice office
100% Positive experience
Very professional.
Dr Blue is the best!!
Not sure what the diagnosis was of my condition? Pulled muscle, disk pressure, or hip? OR??
Very professional and efficient
Gidvani performed a successful SI joint fusion operation on me. I had pain in lower back, groin and leg due to arthritis. In retrospect , the SI fusion fixed my lower back pain but I needed a subsequent total hip replacement to fully resolve groin pain. The operated side of my lower back now feels great, I have no noticeable loss of flexibility due to the fusion.
I was recommended to Dr. Coe for a treatment of sciatica. He is very methodical in treatments he puts me through and has my wellfare in mind. I trust him and after months of few epidural injections that were not a final solution we decided it's time for a surgery. As veird as it sounds I am looking forward to it. His record, knowledge and experience in spine surgeries give me comfort of knowing that I am in good hands. Ludmilla
Excellent staff
Dr. Sagoo listens to my concerns and has been great about communicating past, present and future procedures.
From the front desk reception, to the physician assistant (Melanie), to Dr. Cohen, I have experienced a team that is professional, engaging and patient service oriented. Quite simply, the best!
I had a great, everyone was very kind and helpful. All my questions were answered
Good listener doctor-front office staff and X-ray tech were very nice
Dr Nathaniel Cohen has been taking care of my joints for over a decade. I trust him with my family too. He always has a plan to piece me back together!
Dr. Mensch professionally and kindly evaluated my orthopedic problem. We discussed several options. I received a treatment in the office, and when there was a problem later that day, he called me to give me advice. The next day, I also received a call from his office to make sure that I was doing OK. I highly recommend Doctor Mensch.
Dr. Mensch has been awesome with my care. From hearing my complaints for previous years until providing me a proper diagnosis for not just 1 hand but for both! If I ever have to change my insurance carrier Dr. Mensch will need to be listed as a treating physician. Cannot be more grateful for his care and his support staff; Calvin and the others!
Dr. Cohen and his awesome PA's and MA's are so incredibly outstanding! They have treated my shoulders and hip with such incredible care. Highly recommended!
I didn't have to wait long. Pleasant surroundings. Great personnel. Excellent doctor session!
Dr. Sagoo is attentive, listens to my concerns and acknowledges them. He’s thorough and takes a conservative approach, making sure he fully understands my pain and issues before acting.
Everyone was efficient and professional....X-ray tech did a great and thorough job.
Dr. Sagoo was very kind and explained things clearly.
Over all it was a Great visit. Just a little disappointed for 1 hour wait to see the Dr. Sagoo.
Great guy bedside manners on point and very informative
Visit with Dr. Sagoo was pleasant as was his staff and I was seen on time. He is courteous , professional and thorough. He explains things very well, doesn't rush through rhe visit and always asks if there are any questions at the end of the appointment.
The doctor was well-informed and answered every question I had and shares with me all of the possible options for treating my injury
Dr Sagoo’s expertise and compassionate temperament helped ease the pain from a dreadful accident. No expensive surgery or complicated procedures prescribed, just kindness. The best kind of medicine.
Today was the 1st day I met him. It was a referral from Dr. Tina Mulomphy. She's awesome as well!! Dr. Sagoo. What a personality and bed side manner! Wow. He is kind hearted. He listens, asks questions. We went over my MRI from a previous surgery I had. We went over my Xrays from today. He has a smile. Not grouchy or grumpy! I say this, as I have seen many a dr in my 62 years, specifically these past 15 with a bad back, 2 bad hips & labrum tears. So I've seen many a personality! I cannot recommend this Dr. Enough, With any higher regard. I wish he could get 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 he most definitely would.
Professional, no wait. Answered all questions and even went beyond to find a referral for me.
I had a much better experience here than last time I came in about a year ago. Thr girls are cordial and friendly and efficient. I think they do overbook just a bit as both times I came I waited 35 minutes post appointment time but it want too much inconvenience.
Dr. Sagoo understands and is willing to explain any and all aspects of the procedure and recovery. He is not at all condescending and that by itself puts him in a special class of (orthopaedic) surgeons.
Dr Daljeet Sagoo, Knee Specialist gave me my life back: cured my knee joint pain… I can walk now without any pain, no more use of Cane, Walker, Wheelchair & helpers. Greatly appreciate his knowledge, training and dedication to help the patients.
Dr. Cohen saw me fairly last minute. He presented to me the issue and a treatment plan. Extremely patient and very pleasant.
I have seen Dr. sagoo for over5 years now and followed him to different offices. In my opinion he is the one of the best orthopedic surgeon in the area. Not only the medical side but his personality is what really makes you feel like you’re in the best hands possible. You never feel rushed when you’re talking with him, he has time to explain or answer your questions, you always leave his office knowing what the plan for your treatment is. He really cares for his patients your not just a name and body part your a person. I would follow Dr. Sagoo to any office no matter how far he moved!!!! I would also recommend him to anyone who is in need of orthopedic surgery.
Very friendly and professional staff and doctors. I really appreciate their thoroughness and answered any and all of the questions I had. Thank you so much.
I just had an appointment with Dr Sahoo. I had a bad fall resulting in a fracture and a torn meniscus. Dr Sagoo was very kind and helpful. I will definitely recommend him to others needing orthopedic help.
Dr. Cohen is genuinely committed to his patients in giving the best care possible. He is excellent as a physician and gracious in his manner.
Efficient , thorough, helpful and straight forward
I came here for my kid to see Dr. Kanel for a broken wrist. The doctor listened to us and joked with my son to make him more comfortable. The office staff was kind and we felt that Dr. Kanel gave us sound advice and answered all of our questions. When we came back to get the cast removed we found the arm healed and my son was referred to PT.
Straight & to the point diagnosis
I had a great session with Dr. Sagoo. He provided a great consultation and very clear explanation.
Very friendly
The doctor provide good medical treatment and great service.
Efficient, good service, recommended.
I was very happy with my new Orthopedic Dr.Daljeet Sagoo and his Asistant plus all the staff!
Excellent orthopedic specialist!!
I am very happy with the outcome of my elbow surgery!
Good results
Enjoyed my first meeting with Dr Cohen. Felt very comfortable with his knowledge and personality
Very thorough and personable he knows his work. I feel really comfortable with him.
Dr Sagoo is very conscientious about administering to his patients.
Very nice doctor
I had a wonderful experience with Golden State Orthopedics. Dr. Cohen was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I chose Dr Cohen and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Everyone I met from the receptionist, nursing staff, x-ray techs, and Dr Sagoo were very kind and compassionate people. I was in a lot of pain when I 1st went into see Dr Sagoo who diagnosed my problem as an arthritic hip. They walked me through the process and prepared me for complete hip replacement surgery. Within 6 weeks I was at Good Sam Hospital and Dr Sagoo and his team in approx 1 hour had completed the surgery. I woke up and the nursing staff at Good Sam had me up and walking within 2 hours after surgery. Now it has been 6 weeks and I am back to living life again without any pain. This was amazing to me and I’d like to thank everyone at Golden State Orthopedics and especially Dr Sagoo who is a highly skilled and professional surgeon who’s demeanor was always calm and reassuring to me throughout the whole process.
They are good.
Very competent and friendly staff, saw me on time even though the appt was late afternoon, after the diagnosis of my injury both the orthopedist and the assistant answered my questions about possible causes and self-care.
Fantastic result! Wonderful surgeon. The whole experience was so gratifying . I appreciate and cannot express how happy I am to have made this journey and wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Very organized. Very professional. The support staff was great. Dr. Sagoo was great. They had an x-ray machine on site so I didn’t have to go to a different place to have x-rays done. I found it to be a great medical office.
I would give 5* except finding parking close to the office is very difficult. Besides that 5* for the staff starting with receptionist, patient lounge, and assistant. All we’re friendly and make you feel important. My doctor is Randall Seago. I have yet to have surgery on my back but he takes to time to listen to health issues and concerns. In 2015 I had serious hip and knee pain. Found out my right hip needed full replacement. Dr Littlejohn who works with OrthoNorCal did amazing job when he retired I went to Dr Seago. Benn there ever since. He’s excellent and we discussed my options for my lower back pain. He gave me a few choices. We’ll discuss treatment next visit.
Dr Sagoo is a competent and pleasant doctor who cares about his patients.
Dr Sagoo took the time to explain my options and did not rush my visit. After my appointment I was very comfortable with the decisions we had made.
I've had back problems for some time and lately been aggravated by 2 serious falls. I saw Dr. Seago this week and even with the waiting time upon meeting him I felt like I was in good hands immediately. He spent time with me to explain what is going on with me. X-rays and yesterday an MRI to try to pinpoint the cause of pain. Looking forward to my next visit with Dr. Seago.
Dr. Mensch is wonderful. He did cortisone injections for carpal tunnel and explained what he was doing every step of the way. Really was painless. He was as attentive to my needle aversion as he was in skill placing the needles. Friendly and processional. Top notch.
I've been with Dr. Ma and Dr. Blue for over a year now, and I've had 8 appointments with them. My experience with their billing me/Anthem has always been accurate. I disagree with the reviews that state "beware of their billing practices". If you read before signing anything, their billing is fair and articulated clearly. Regarding waiting time for appointments, I usually need to wait 5 minutes on the line until they join. In-person appointments, I've usually waited 10 minutes. Despite my usual impatience, this is one of the lowest wait times I've encountered across all doctors. My personal experience has been great.
I've taken my mother to Orthnocal for multiple injuries and everyone is competent and professional. She's seen several of the doctors and many of the support staff and I am very pleased that they have all been the height of professionalism -- even when Mom has been "cranky".
Dr. Blue is seriously the man - I've been seeing him for years and every time I see him it's a pleasure. He's knowledgeable, funny, candid, and very willing to hear patients opinions and thoughts out. Very responsive to feedback, and very easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great family medicine doctor!
This is a review for Dr Jeffrey Blue and his team who RoCk, and always go the extra mile. Thank you for all you do.
I want to thank Dr. Cohen and Scott and their staff. Thanks to them after my shoulder surgery i have regained fill range of movement in my shoulder witch i haven't had for years. I personally told everyone that ask about my shoulder if they need to have a orthopedic thing done go to Orthonor cal. They keep me out of pain through all of my time of recovery.The staff treated me like family and made me feel verry at ease at each visit. Thank you again sean k
Very friendly staff clean office and exam rooms. Doctor friendly and informative. Hope he can fix me up.
Fate was smiling on me the day I found Dr. Poelstra and Nocal Orthopedic. My back was in so much pain that I had taken to walking with a cane. I had numbness and tingling down my legs and between my toes. Dr. Poelstra's staff was able to get me in very quickly. I came with my MRI and Dr. Poelstra consulted a radiologist on the spot because there was a questionable area on my spine. I was sent for a CT myelogram and the spot that had him concerned wasn't visible. He included me in the decision making of my care. I left the office with a clear path on what to do and if what we had decided on didn't help, then it was time for surgery. If you want to have confidence in your physician and be treated with compassion and professionalism go to this group.
I highly recommend Dr Gidvani. I had pretty bad back pain due to a herniated disc. After an MRI, Dr Gidvani explained my options very well and recommended a microscopic decompression. He did the surgery 10 days later and 4 days after I was able to attend an important conference for work. I was a bit tired but had no back pain. After doing PT I resumed running and I'm training for a 100K race with no back pain whatsoever. I am thankful to Dr Gidvani every day.
I can't say enough positive comments about my experiences with OrthoNorcal. I had seen Dr. Cohen once for shoulder pain. He gave me an injection of cortisone and I haven't had any problems since. Months later, I was getting on a CalTrain after a Giants game and my right leg just gave out and I fell on the steps. Nothing that resulted in immediate treatment but when I got home I called Dr. Cohen. He got me in right away and after examination, told me that he was referring me to Dr. Seago. He said I might be in surgery that week and he was right. I had a disc herniate and press against my back nerves, causing my leg to not respond to my nerve signals. Three days later, after surgery by Dr. Seago, I was recovering well. As far as I'm concerned, the quick action by both outstanding doctors kept me out of a wheelchair for life! Then, feeling so great, I said I would change a faucet from under a sink for my neighbor. In an awkward position, I torqued my back and felt it go out again. Yes, second surgery by Dr. Seago and I'm doing great once more. Then, mainly from age, my back started to hurt from stenosis and arthritis. That's when I met another great member of their staff, Dr. Molumphy. She deals in pain management and suggested I try an epidural before thinking of another surgery. I'm very glad to say that It worked, my pain is minimal, if at all most days, and my life is back to normal again. If you're reading this, then you or someone you know is in pain, don't wait any longer. Go see one of these great doctors.
I had an injury that resulted in a torn MCL, miniscus, and a blown ACL. Upon meeting Dr. Kevin Murray, I knew I found the right Dr. for my surgery. At no time during all my visits did I ever feel rushed, or as if I was not his complete focus and #1 priority. He never failed to take his time and ensure all my questions were answered and needs were met. Amazing professional and bedside manner. The day of my operation his team was absolutely first class! From the prep room to the point where I was put out, his team constantly checked on me. During that time, at least three different nurses and aids talked to me, reassuring me that everything was going to be ok. It's now been just over two months since my procedure. While there is still a long recovery ahead, I now feel confident that my knee will be back to pre-injury condition if not better, once all the rehab is complete. THANK YOU Dr. Murray and his staff!
This place was referred to me by my chiropractor. Dr. Coe and his assistant, Melissa examed my condition which required an operation on my lower back. I think these two are a great team whom I became to appreciate. Melissa was so thorough and attentive to details so that she could provide the best background of my pain to Dr. Coe. My surgery was about a month ago now and I am recovering well. Like some complaints about the overbooked schedule at this clinic, it is true and I also had a complaint. But I appreciated the candid response from Dr. Coe and Melissa. They do not control the appointment schedule but the clinic does. I always appreciate honest acceptance of the fact and concern instead of trying to cover and giving transparent excuses. Anyone who has back pain issues, I recommend this place, Dr. Coe and Melissa. Thank you.
Dr. Gidvani did an excellent job with my micro-decompression back surgery and I was exceedingly worried about having the surgery. Everything went well and I am back riding my bike 15-25 miles, kayaking, etc. 5 months after surgery. The follow-up PT taught me to alter lifting and carrying in a more efficient and safe manner. Dr. Gidvani's assistant, Drew, is fantastic and a terrific compliment to Dr. Gidvani.
In my opinion, best place ever! Dr. Seago is amazing. I needed a second MAJOR back surgery in 9 years. I was terrified. Everything was all bad with my first surgery and I needed a second one. Dr. Seago did NOT perform my first surgery. I was terrified and he really helped ease that. The surgery he performed was over 8 hours and complicated, fixing what was done prior but he did it and my pain and movement after was SO much better than my first surgery. Even my family members were amazed at the difference. I normally don't do a lot of YELPS but this definitely needed a wonderful YELP!
Dr. Edward Littlejohn and his team replaced my left knee in early November. He has organized a team who beginning with my first visit all through the weeks following anticipated my questions and concerns with perceptive, caring and clearly understood answers. He gave me his Guide to the Knee which alerted me to what was coming and gave me action items to prepare. In the hospital, the entire 6th floor of Good Sam is devoted to joint repair, everyone who attended to my care was kind and competent. I am 7 weeks post-op and doing great. He has obviously listened and learned from his patients over the years and has designed a protocol to aid each patient with the care they need for a swift and successful surgery. His instructions to Silver Creek Physical Therapy are continuing my healing. At 80 years young, I am amazed and grateful to him and his team team. I thank God daily for sending me to Dr. Littlejohn at OrthoNorCal. If I could, I would award him 10++ stars.
In 2017 I met with Dr. Randall Se ago he operated on my spine and did a marvelous job, I can not thank him enough. In June of that year I met with Dr. Edward Littlejohn, he replaced my right knee and he also did a marvelous job. I can not thank these two surgeons enough for how they changed my life. They are the absolute best. The staff is also the best as they are always courteous and friendly but very professional. Qualities that are hard to find in todays world of tread mill medicine. I highly recommend Ortho Nor Call to anyone who needs quality care.
I hadn't been back to the office to see Dr Abidi since my last review so I wanted to update. I went back as my other foot is now giving me problems. Dr Abidi ordered the same tests on my foot as before xrays, MRI and follow up with Beyond Prosthetics for new insoles and an ankle brace. Dr Abidi is very thorough. It may take time, patience and follow up to find out what the problem is but Dr Abidi knows his business. He also reviewed the xrays and MRI with me and explained what is going on. Unfortunately if this doesn't work surgery may be in my future but I must say I am very grateful that he was willing to work in a conservative fashion with treatment. I am not looking forward to being operated on but if it has to happen I would want him doing the work. I also like the fact that the office has an automated check in system so I can do all of it before I set foot in the office, cuts down on the overall wait time. Dr Abidi is straight forward, no nonsense but he does have a sense of humor. I also have to give a shout out to Jonah the assistant who helps out with the patients. Super sweet and great personal manner.
3 years ago, I had ankle surgery to repair a fracture. The pain never went away, and the doctor who did the surgery just shrugged her shoulders. I went to see Dr. Fisk, who immediately diagnosed the problem: a couple of too long screws shredding a major tendon. She did a quick surgery and removed the screws, and now, a few months later, my ankle is almost as good as new. Getting through on the phone can be troublesome, but it's worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Fisk.
A BIG 5-stars for Dr. Fisk and Jonah. I broke my Tibia bad (2 splits and a break). I'm still in the healing process (6 weeks) ~4 to go before PT. This whole experience has been wonderful because of 2 very big reasons Dr. Fisk and Jonah: (1) Dr. Fisk is an outstanding doctor and surgeon and communicator. She spent time with me in the initial visit going over the surgery, what to expect, what the extent of the damage to my body was and what to expect short term and long term. She was excellent at direct communication, which I greatly appreciated, even if it was hard to hear. The surgery went exactly as explained; she met with my husband after and gave him the update. Two weeks after the surgery, I met with Dr. Fisk and she explained in very good detail what they found during surgery, gave me a more concise understanding of what to expect both long term and short term. I was impressed that she spent a significant amount of time with me explaining things and answering my list of questions. I was also pleased they wanted to take my stitches out early (glad I followed directions :-) ) Bottom line: Outstanding medical treatment!!! (2) Jonah...what can I say, AWESOME!!!! Jonah is the interface to everything. I called him whenever I wanted to interface to the office. Jonah would answered the phone right away, or if I left voice mail he returned my call promptly. I think this was the experience ensured my 5-star review. When you're laid up, you worry and have questions...can't sleep, what to do about dry cracking skin, numbness, swelling...really any question. Well, having Jonah as a communication vehicle to the doctor was fantastic. I found that after the first 2 calls, I didn't need to call again. Just having that assurance helped. When I was in the office, Jonah always explained what was going to happen, even what possibilities could happen (e.g. stitches out early). I can't tell you how nice it is to get information and be allowed to process it for a bit. Even when I was going to x-ray and/or casting, Jonah would be checking on me and making sure not only that things were progressing, but that I was comfortable. Jonah has a wonderfully pleasant and professional manner. Thanks TONS, Jonah. I want to add a couple of quick additions making an overall great experience. *Jessica* in x-ray. Wow, efficient and gentle with those broken bones. :-) Very friendly and makes the process very comfortable. *Joe* in casting. Great guy!!! A wonderfully professional manner, easy to talk with, gives thorough instructions as to what you, the patient, are supposed to do during casting, but is very kind if you forget to pay attention. :-) Super friendly and helps you get your mind off the casting process. Here's a quick background on my injury if it helps. I landed hard on my heel from a high jump and my ankle bone jammed up into my tibia. My tibia split in 2 places and a piece broke off. After Good Sam ER (excellent care) I, fortunately, was recommended to Dr. Fisk. After 3 metal plates and 13 screws, I'm on the road to recovery. I will always be grateful to Dr. Fisk, Jonah, and the team.

Some time back when I took a hard fall on my forearm, I suffered a Croll's fracture of the radius. This was misdiagnosed at the time by my first medical contact as a sprain. After three months of benign neglect my wrist had healed in its own fashion, but there was still much swelling of the area and very limited range of motion. Feeling that the first doctor must surely have been mistaken in his diagnosis and approach to the problem, I sought Dr. Sendher's advise on that state of my "sprain." She quickly recognized it as a fracture that had healed in all the wrong ways. The time I had wasted between doctors put me at a disadvantage in terms of ever getting the full use of the wrist back to a normal state. But having warned me to temper my expectations, she then did a surgical open reduction with bone graft, sent me to a specialist in hand PT, and advised me that much of the outcome would likely be up to me in terms of my dedication to doing that the physical therapist recommended. Well, the road to recovery was indeed a slow slog, but I am happy to report that I now have no swelling in the wrist, no limitations, and full range of motion. My hands and wrists match! Even the scar from the open reduction is very minimal. I can't say enough good things about this doctor's approach to my problem. She was straight-on in her diagnosis, honest about my prospects, and helpful in terms of assisting me to realize that I would have to be part of the solution. I am so grateful. You never realize how important your hands are until something like this happens. My husband and I have both had very positive experiences with Dr. Cohen as well. He has a very congenial way about him, but truly knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him as well.
First of all, let me say, that Dr. Gidvani and his staff have been wonderfuls, but I have not had the surgery yet. My review is on the staff who book appointments and answer the phones. The first time I called I was in horrible pain, on my back, at home. My insurance web-site said Orthonorcal was a PPO. I called Orthnorcal, the woman on the phone was very rude. While I was on the phone with her, I was also looking at my insurance information on thie website. That page had all of my information and the insurance company, Anthem BlueCross, information. She told me I had to call my insurance and get a different number from them (I don't remember what she called it) before Orthoqnorcal could confirm they were a PPO. I didn't understand why I had to do that, no other PPO has needed me to do that, but I said Ok, and called BlueCross. Bluecross did not know why she needed the number, but they gave it to me. I called Orthonorcal back, I got a different woman on the phone. She was worse than the first one. She didn't care about that number, she wanted the zip code for BlueCross that was on the back on my card! My card was downstairs. I told her I was looking at the BlueCross web site for coverage and I had all the information. She insisted on the zip code that was on the card. Keep in mind, I am in terrible pain. I told her this, and I told her the card was downstairs and there was no one to get it for me. She was awful. Her tone of voice was very rude and I was starting to get cranky and frustrated. Finally I told her I would get up and get the zip code, just give me a minute. She hung up on me! I almost didn't call her back. But a while later I finally did. She finally confirmed they were a PPO for my insurance and made the appointment. It was a terrible experience. I have never gone through so many hoops to confirm a provider and make an appointment.Thank goodness Dr. Gidvani and staff are great. The MRI staff are also very nice and professional. But I dread making calls for appointments. I will review again after my surgery. I'm updating my review of orthonorcal. I had my surgery. Dr. Gidvani was fabulous. El Camino Hospital where I had it done was also excellent. My recovery has been very good and Dr. Gidvani and his staff have been very responsive to my needs. I had a disk implant in my neck at C5/C6 vertebrae. I also wonder if someone at their orthonorcal facility didn't see my review about their answering service. The last few times I've been there they have been exceedingly nice, and they have been far more responsive when I've had to make phone calls. They still don't get back to you in a timely fashion if you have to leave a message with the appointment desk. I've learned to pick the selection for doctors and medical clinics versus the appointment desk, that way I get attention right away. Overall it has been a very good experience. I will definitely go back there.
After an improbable (and totally clumsy) fall in my house that internally nearly detached my right arm, I was really thankful that Good Sam ER recommended Dr. Kevin Murray of OrthoNorCal. Not only did he surgically reattach all the muscles and tendons and ligaments successfully, but he did it with a personable and calm demeanor and excellent humor! Just graduated today after a year of treatment (including physical therapy at Quinn PT with the incomparable Tina Beck). Over the last year, Dr. Murray and the staff (Joe and Donna really stand out) treated me with respect and friendship, were clear on the expectations, the amount of work needed to fully recover, supported and cheered my progress and made the year fly by. I hope never to need an orthopedic specialist again, but if I do, I am headed back to OrthoNorCal and Dr. Kevin Murray
Great staff, Jonah was very efficient and helpful. Dr. Stoll was fantastic. Dr. Stoll spent a lot of time with me and explained all my options and was very caring. I highly recommend her for any hand issues. The office was great with everything I needed under one roof.
Dr. Laura Stoll is very professional and has a great demeanor. She took a special interest in our son and we felt very comfortable with her advice and input. I highly recommend Dr. Stoll for any hand injury. Jonah is terrific and outstanding in what he does. He is welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable. Jonah does a super job of communicating and keeping the patient informed. We really had a wonderful experience.
Dr. Fisk is awesome! Very caring, thorough and helpful. I had a fast recovery on my fractured foot. The staff is kinda and accommodating and the office is clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend :)
Dr. Cohen and his team are Amazing. Very helpful and friendly. Lovely office and staff too. I feel comfortable and safe about having my hip surgery and having Dr. Cohen being my surgeon
Dr. Gidvani and his assistant Vikram were amazing! Dr. Gidvani was very accommodating in explaining and walking me through the surgical process. I felt very comfortable asking question pre and post surgery. Vikram was very helpful and diligent in getting back to me with any paper work or converns I had over the phone. Overall, I had a great experience with OrthoNorCal. The whole team (front receptionists, coordinators, X-ray techs) were all very friendly and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Dr. Fisk saw me for my broken foot after it didn't heal as anticipated. She took her time explaining things to me, put me on an anti-inflammatory that really helped, and helped me heal. She is very personable and has a great bedside manner. I would go back (but hopefully won't have to).
I was in the care of Dr. Fisk after breaking my ankle, and I did not need surgery. The initial and follow up care was great.
You Just Never Know You never know when you'll need a truly great surgeon but one thing for sure, when you NEED one you want the absolute BEST. So, when my husband took a great fall from a ladder in our front yard and hit the concrete like a fragile Humpty Dumpty, I was assuming I'd get the BEST care available from the closest hospital. That was not the case. Instead of receiving the immediate care he needed for his seriously fractured leg he was treated so poorly I saw tears in his eyes. There was my strong husband in so much pain it made him cry in agony. I refuse to even go into that mess due to the stress is STILL causes us both when we even THINK of that hideous place. Frightened by the lack of care we received I immediately took my husband home and began searching for a surgeon we could TRUST. This is where things get better. We called NorCalOrtho and got in as soon as possible. My husband was treated with dignity and kindness beginning with the front desk staff. The gentle care of those ladies at the front desk was such a breath of fresh air after what my husband had been through at the hospital I first took him to. The front desk of any facility is its first connection to the patient. This place has it all down pat! It's not fake... they truly care about you as a human being and in the end that's all any of us truly want. We were introduced to Erica G. Fisk MD and her assistant Makena. Instantly we could tell that they were truly dedicated to to their work. Both of them recognized the great amount of pain my husband was is and the severity of his injuries and took immediate action to help him. No horsing around with these two. Patient comfort was their first concern and from there they quickly assessed what measures needed to be taken as soon as possible. They both kept us abreast of everything going on with his leg and made us feel comfortable making the decisions we needed to make from there on. Immediately I wanted to gush all over these two women thanking them with all of my heart. NOW WE KNEW WE WERE IN GREAT HANDS. What a relief for us both. There were tricks and tangles with our insurance which the NorCalOrtho staff was kind enough to help us understand and work through with us- kinda holding our hand a bit. We'd never been hurt before so neither of us knew a thing about this end of our medical insurance. What a relief to have such well informed, calm and helpful folks to guide us through this mess. Amazing! Never having a broken bone before, my husband was very nervous about his surgery. Dr. Fisk was on top of everything and that alone made us feel that he was in good hands. Still, surgery is scary if you've never experienced it before but there Dr. Fisk was with Makena by her side walking us through each step carefully and kindly. Truthfully, this made a HUGE difference in how we both felt as he was wheeled into surgery. I didn't feel stressed out or worried at all. Honestly, I felt calm and I was able to focus on giving my husband all of my positive energy and that was a blessing. After surgery he had more visits and then the casting began. The staff members who helped him with each of his casts and 2 braces were very knowledgeable in their field and were gentle, kind and caring each visit. It made us feel GREAT to be treated so well. They explained each thing they did and why, how to use the casts or braces and what to look out for. Good information with a sincere smile. How nice! My husband ended up having three surgeries in which he received care from Dr. Erica Fisk and in each case she was superior. Absolutely PRIMO! She cared enough to show up on time, explain everything she was going to do in detail, ask my husband about his physical being before surgery, ask him if there was anything else he was concerned about before opening him up (he said he had pain in his ankle and pointed to it) and informed us that IF she found anything where he had pointed to she would take care of that during his surgery. As it turned out there was a problem area and she did take care of it. After his surgery Dr. Fisk came out into the waiting room outside and clearly define what the problem was, how she corrected it and how long it would take for my husbands new surgery to heal. She even took photos of the surgery for me so I could actually SEE what she saw and how she corrected it for him. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Now THIS IS REAL HEALTH CARE! Care. Go look it up. To CARE for someone is to attach IMPORTANCE to them. They are important. To CARE for someone is the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance and protection of someone. Dr. Erica Fisk CARED for my husband. So, you might be asking yourself some time in your life where you can find a surgeon who truly CARES for their patients. LOOK NO FURTHER!! If you find yourself or ANYONE you care about in need of GREAT MEDICAL CARE go directly to NorCalOrtho and ask for Dr. Fisk.
I am yelping Dr. Gidvani. I have had chronic neck pain and nerve pain for 4 years now and this year decided with his help to have surgery to fix two herniated disks. I had tried everything with other doctors, like therapy, chiropractor's, steroid injections and massage, but they wouldn't last long and some made it worse. I finally found Dr. Gidvani through my insurance. It was my first time dealing with the doctor so I was little hesitant seeing that I wanted surgery. After the first meeting, I knew he was the guy and I moved forward. I had surgery on my neck and can say today I am 100% pain free and have most of the motion back in my neck. I can now do the things I used to do with any pain. Pain make you old and I feel like I am getting my youth back again. I highly recommend Dr. Gidvani for any back related injury. He worked wonders on my neck and I am so glad I picked his name when it came time to have this procedure done. 2 Thumbs up and 5 stars!
As someone who works in the Medical Field, I tend to be a little "picky" about service and care I receive for myself and my kids. That being said, I loved Dr. Kanel.. My son broke and dislocated his hand very badly during lunch at school. By 2pm we were sitting in Dr Kanel's office. Due to him fitting me in I was able to avoid having to take my son to an ER. And 6 weeks earlier when my son had a minor fracture in his leg (of course a weekend)...we were at the ER and Dr Kanel was called because we had taken my other kid to see him so our family was "established" with his office. The ER Dr didnt feel the Specialist needed to come to see us at the ER but just to let Dr Kanel know what happened and let him know what they did for my son in the mean time. Not only did he call me that same day, but he checked in again the following day to see how he was doing and to let me know he'd make sure to get him in the next day (Monday). The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the front desk staff can be a little short and less than welcoming. But that could happen to anyone, anyday, any dr office. I also ask my fellow Yelpers to keep something in mind when you are writing a review about a Dr. If you are seen in an ER...the Dr isn't always on call and if they are not, yes...it may take time for them to get to the ER. If that is the best specialist for your injury/illness and they are not on call, wouldn't you rather wait than get someone who isn't the best? Also, the result you are "hoping for" isn't always realistic or the best way to treat whatever you are dealing with. Don't give a Dr a bad review just because things didn't go according to YOUR plan or ideas. Believe me, if anything I'm harsher than the average person.
I came in to see Dr. Murray after seeing another surgeon for pain in my shoulder. My previous doctor gave me 3 separate cortizone shots over a few months that didn't work. I came in to see Dr. Murray for a second opinion and decided because of his knowledge, experience with sports injuries and compassionate nature, that I would have him perform my surgery. We found that there was A LOT more going on in my shoulder than previously diagnosed. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Murray, because my shoulder is much better after surgery and I really enjoy going to see him and his friendly staff. It's important to feel like you are cared about, and I get that at OrthoNorCal. His assistant, Rudy is great too!
I saw Dr. Kevin Murray here first for knee pain, and then again for foot pain. He has a very personable way about him and I am very happy that I was able to be in his care. So the knee is getting better although I have to give up some high impact activity that I don't want to. The foot pain which has been bothering me for years is now GONE!! He gave me some small exercises to do every day and it WORKS! It's unbelievable! I couldn't be more thankful!
Dr. Sandeep Gidvani essentially gave up most of a weekend to operate and relieve back pain and herniated discs that had resulted in a hospital admission. I walked out of the hospital hours after back surgery and have not needed pain medication for the 3 weeks since. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is a wonderful, caring doctor.
Dr. Kanel is absolutely fantastic! My 16 year old ruptured her achilles tendon playing soccer and since her first visit, he has taken the utmost care in her surgery and healing process. The decisions he has made for her have been spot on and never once has he been unavailable to answer any of our questions. He has tremendous bedside manner and treated my daughter and I with absolute respect and kindness. I am so thankful for my doctor's referral to Dr. Kanel. He is one in a million. :)
I have 4 very active children and in the last 7 years there have been 15 broken bones, two surgeries and countless other injuries that Dr. Kanel has treated/performed. I cannot express how grateful we are to have had our children in his care. Dr. Kanel has gone above and beyond the call of duty! He is an outstanding physician, very skilled as a specialist and well respected in his field. Dr. Kanel is always very professional, great with the kids, direct and honest. There isn't another surgeon I would trust more, to help my children, than Dr. Kanel.
Great experience, beginning to end My 17 year old son was assessed in the ER and as a result we were referred out to Dr. Kanel. After meeting with Dr. Kanel we decided surgery was needed. As we did our research we found out that Dr. Kanel was the right doctor to perform the needed surgery. Dr. Kanel is the right doctor for you if you have the following needs: patient advocate experienced trustworthy skilled knowledgeable about different situations (ours was a very unique situation which he correctly diagnosed from the MRI - and he reassured us the entire way) Even though we did not anticipate the situation, Dr. Kanel made it easier to deal with as we went through the process of diagnosis,surgery and recovery.
And for me it's about the wonderful care and world class surgery and after care I received from Kevin Murray.After being told by other staff members that surgery was not a good option for me and as an active old guy I was bummed that the medical field had given up on my shoulder .then I was directed to a sports medicine guy named Dr. Murray a true hero in my family as he took on my shoulder long damaged from years of neglect from car racing to skydiving and base jumping and a dislocation that nearly ended my true love of adventure as a world record holding Hang Glider pilot .Dr. Murray said to me he could give me 70% of the use of my shoulder ,after his care i returned to flying as he became like a brother to me seeing to it that the physical therapist tailored the therapy to my recovery and even had a special brace made for me so I could return as a Hang Glider pilot and got my life back as a active senior and all my children are very happy that we met Dr.Kevin Murray.
My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Kanel for 14 years now, and he is the reason she can walk today. She was diagnosed with Ollier's Disease, a rare bone disorder, at 3 years old. This disease causes bowing of bones and limb length discrepancies, and in many cases lengthening of the bone is necessary. We took her all over the bay area to find the most experienced doctor to perform this complicated surgery, and we found him right here in Los Gatos. Dr. Kanel performed 2 lengthening surgeries on her femur. He is an expert in this field with years of experience. He is also cutting edge on all new procedures being used out there. Over the years, Dr. Kanel performed around 8 surgeries on my daughter (kinda lost track). He repaired broken bones, did bone graphs and inserted nails and pins into the bone. Without his expertise she would not have legs the same length. We are forever grateful to him. Now that she is full grown our visits to Dr. Kanel have slowed down, but when we have an appointment it's like going to see family. Dr. Kanel has seen us through some very hard times, and it was his kindness and the way he truly cared about all of us that got us through. It is rare to find a doctor who is both compassionate and talented.
My son can walk because of Dr. Jeffery Kanel. My son was born with bilateral clubfoot, meaning his feet were severely twisted at birth. Dr. Kanel started treatment on day two of Zach's life with serial casting (a new cast each week) from foot to hip. It became apparent that surgery would be needed at six months old, and Dr. Kanel was there for us. Zach started walking before he was through with the serial casts following surgery. It was definitely a process, but also very do-able. Zach had a very normal childhood; most of his friends didn't know he had a problem with his feet until he told them. Learning to drive proved to be extremely painful for Zach; his ankle bones were moving, flexing the connective tissue between the bones. So at 16 he had major reconstructive surgery again. This time his ankle bones were fused together around metal plates . Yes, first the right foot, then the left foot. Eight months in a wheelchair his Junior year in high school. Let's just say memories were made! He is now healed and driving again, working on building up his endurance and strength in his legs. Dr. Kanel gave Zach so much. He helped us (parents) understand that surgery was absolutely required, and was clear about what to expect in recovery. He kept Zach (patient) laughing and feeling comfortable about the process, even though there was quite a bit of pain to endure. We first met Dr. Kanel because Zach was born in Los Gatos (close to his office). We got lucky; our pediatrician hunted him down. Thank you Dr. Naughten! We moved out of the area when Zach was almost two. It is worth the 400 mile drive (one way) to be his patient. Nobody else will work on Zach's ankles; I won't let them! His office has been very helpful in scheduling appointments at convenient times due to our long distance situation. Dr. Kanel is an expert; this is who you want as your orthopedic surgeon. "Thank you" is not enough; we are so grateful!

So thankful for the excellent care of Dr. Kanel! He fixed my daughters arm after she broke it. She had surgery at 18 months and a cast for a month. All the office staff has been so kind and helpful. Thank you for making a scary situation for our family as positive as possible!
I've seen Dr Seago for years (ex race car driver turned cyclist). I recently was hit on my bike. Dr Seago was out of town so Dr Kanel took care of me, inserting a plate and 8 screws to repair my clavicle. Dr Seago, Dr Kanel and the entire office staff were wonderful to me and made the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances. The work Dr Kanel performed, putting my clavicle back together, was great. 2 weeks later, I'm able to use my arm to do daily things and expect to be back on the bike in 2 more. Dr Kanel was very friendly, pleasant, caring, gentle and understanding of my needs. I highly recommend OrthoNorCal to anyone that has any Orthopedic needs.
Dr Cohen and staff were just great very professional Never had a better experience
Five stars don't even come close to the amount of stars Dr. Kanel and his staff should receive in my review. If I were to write a memoir of my life as a parent to a child with Cerbral Palsy my encounters with this office would take up a good portion of the book. Those chapters would be among the most heartfelt and inspiring part of my story and my daughter's. His expertise goes beyond his ability as surgeon (which has been remarkable.) He understands my daugher and addresses her needs, he listens to her and recommends what is best for her. As for Gloria Werkema . . . don't even get me started. She can take a saw to my daughter's leg anytime (for the purposes of cutting off a cast of course.) Dr. Kanel came to me by way of a recommendation from my pediatrician 15 years ago and by my sister whose daughter had hip surgery. I have referred him to countless other parents who have all had great experiences. Dr. Kanel even treated me for what I was convinced a broken ankle. To our relief . . . the ankle was only sprained.
I have been a patient of Dr. Jeffrey Kanel for more years than I can remember. He is a very caring doctor who agreed to take my case even though I am not a pediatric patient. My medical issues are very complex and have often necessitated referrals to other specialists. Dr. Kanel has always made sure that I got the best care possible. He also has a good sense of humor, which I appreciate. His staff is great, particularly Gloria Werkema. At times I have needed a lot of paperwork done and Gloria worked her way through it all.
Dr. Kanel is an amazing surgeon. I had severe knee pain. Turns out it was hyperextended for 34 years due to an accident in 1979. My shin bone needed to be broken again so it could heal straight this time. Dr. Kanel did the needful osteoplasty with an external fixator. After 6 mos., all was great! He even lengthened my leg to match the other, fixing all kinds of back pain from which I suffered for decades. As others have said, his bedside manner may not be as warm and comforting as some may prefer. But when it comes to a complex surgery like mine with osteoplasty, Dr. Kanel knows his stuff where it counts! Wish I would have met many him years ago!
This is a review for Dr. Kanel over at OrthoNorcal. I came to Dr. Kanel with a rotational problem in the tibia after years of pain which disabled my prior level of sports performance and was a huge concern for as long as i can remmember. A slew of orthopedic specialists and co-pays could not solve my problems and it seemed a cure was hopeless. When i came to Dr. Kanel's office there was an immediate sense of professionalism. I was treated very kindly by all the staff and everyone was willing to work with the fact i lived about an hour away from the office. My Xrays were done in an organized process, and all insurance affairs were handled smoothly and immediately, there have not been delayed or unexpected bills coming in like they had with other doctors i had seen. Upon meeting Dr. Kanel it was obvious he is very skilled in communicating with his patients. He really cares about you as a person. not you as a room number or just another patient. He takes his time with each appointment and dedicates himself to truly assessing a situation. he examined me the longest of any other orthopedist i met with. Dr. Kanel was also hugely respectful of my mom and I's financial situation, providing unrivaled medical care along with going above and beyond to make his expert care affordable. I can never thank him enough. I am not a yelp reviewer in general. i am a patient who found the true concern and medical expertise of Dr. Kanel and this establishment to be so stellar that i felt a duty to help make it standout, as it is so far beyond the care i have received anywhere else in my life. If you are in need of orthopedic care, and want the best for yourself or your child, look no further.
