Exceptional Surgical Experience
I recently had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Michael Michlitsch, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding level of expertise and care provided. From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, every step of the process was handled with professionalism and compassion.
Dr. Michael Michlitsch demonstrated unparalleled expertise in their field. Their extensive knowledge and skill set were evident throughout the entire surgical procedure, instilling confidence and trust in their abilities.
What sets Dr. Michlitsch apart is his genuine concern for his patients. The compassion shown before and after the surgery made a significant difference in my overall experience. He took the time to address all my concerns, patiently explaining the procedure and ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed.
Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Dr. Michlitsch was accessible, responsive, and took the time to thoroughly answer my questions. This level of communication alleviated any anxieties I had, fostering a trusting doctor-patient relationship.
The attention to detail extended into the post-operative care, with Dr. Michlitsch providing clear instructions and closely monitoring my recovery.His commitment to ensuring a smooth recovery process was evident, and I felt well-supported every step of the way.
I would also like to commend the entire support staff at Golden State Orthopedic and Spine. The team's efficiency, friendliness, and professionalism complemented Dr. Michlitsch's excellent work.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Dr. Michlitsch to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate surgeon. My experience was exceptional, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact they've had on my health and well-being.
Thank you, Dr. Michlitsch, for your exceptional care and expertise.
Sincerely,

He is a fantastic doctor. He took care of my sister when she severely broke her elbow. He always made my sister feel comfortable and listened to.
He gave me the same attentive concern when I became his patient a month ago. I definitely would recommend Dr. Michlitsch to anyone
with an orthopedic injury.

I have been seeing Dr. Elrashidy for several years for orthopedic issues and he performed shoulder surgery for rotator cuff repairs in May of this year. He is a very skilled surgeon but more important, he has an infectious and dynamic personality. He takes the time to explain your treatment and answer any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Elrashidy and Golden State Orthopedics & Spine.

I had emergency elbow surgery last week & could not be happier with the care I have received from Dr. Michlitsch and his staff. The surgery went well & I am so pleased with the progress I have had in just 1 week. Dr. Michlitsch is so caring and really explained every part of my procedure and after care in very understandable terms. The office was efficient in getting all the authorizations approved for PT very fast so I can still go on my vacation in a few weeks! Thank you all.

We are very pleased with the staff of Golden State Orthopedics and Spine; they are very caring and responsive.

He was very personable, logical in his presentation, and answered all my questions and concerns. He is well versed and was a pleasure to work with.

I was happy to get an appointment with Dr. Lewis after not seeing him for 10 years. He did surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel and did a great job. So was glad to get in to see him for a trigger finger on my lefr hand. He spotting the trouble immediately and treated it with a cortizone shot. I was so happy to not have to have surgery. So far it has eased the pain , but was told if it didn't fix it completely to come back in two months. He is so pleasant and quick to spot the problem and the office staff was very helpful too. Thank you.....

Dr. Schilling is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. He has a wonderful bedside manner. Very caring and the office staff is very efficient and friendly. I have recommended him to many people. The Sequoia outpatient surgery Center, is wonderful. Very boutique type of operation there with many people to care for you. Dr. Schilling has a reputation of referrals by other physicians. One of my physicians had Dr. Schilling
do the same carpal tunnel surgery that he performed on my wrist. He recommended him highly. I would certainly want Dr. Schilling to do any other surgery in his specialty for me at any Time. He was most concerned that all the surgery went well and that I was pleased with the outcome. I thank him so much for giving me relief from the pain that I was experiencing prior to my surgery. I am thankful for his professional care. Signing off, Shirley

We are extremely happy with the service and utmost care provided by Dr Michlitsch and the entire team who assisted us during our daughters ACL reconstruction surgery over summer. He was very patient with us and put our doubts to rest by providing us with guidance on the surgery and rehabilitation.
She is getting better every day and she also received amazing assistance during her past physical therapy sessions and she is transitioning into a sports reconditioning program and glad to see her complete a jog on the anti-gravity treadmill. With all sincerity we could not have done it without you! Thank you.

10yrs ago I was in need of a rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. I selected Dr. Preston to perform what turned out to be a very complex surgery. The rebuild went better than expected which left me delighted with the procedure. Four months ago I tore the rotator, this time in my left shoulder. Without hesitation I contacted Dr. Preston and as expected the operation went off without a hitch. I am 13 weeks into my recovery and my shoulders have never felt better.
Professional, with great surgery skills is what you get with Dr. Preston. I would wholeheartedly recommend Preston to anyone in need of ortho work. His work is outstanding and his approach to his patients is second to none. The good doctor rates a 10 out of 10. He is simply THE BEST!!!

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Preston many years ago so when I saw his name on the list of doctors in my network that was it.
I made an appointment and met with Dr. Preston and I can say I was very impressed with his professionalism, his knowledge and how comfortable he made me feel.
After reviewing my MRI he was able to explain what was happening that 2 other doctors missed completely.
I am very relieved to be having Dr.Preston as my surgeon and am looking forward to a positive outcome so I can move on with my life finally.
Thank you Golden State Orthopedic and Spine and Thank you Dr. Preston.

Even in my sadness every time I saw Dr. Lewis I felt better after seeing him, more optimistic. He was very patient and understanding.

I had an awful hand injury on 6/9/21. I was initially treated at an ER in Oakland. I got a referral to Dr. Joshua Richard. Upon seeing me Dr. Richard's was quick to schedule the first of what would become three surgeries on my hand. I had developed an infection and also had necrotic tissue. I believe that had Dr. Richard's not acted as decisively as he did, I may well have lost a couple of fingers. My wounds are healing well and I am receiving physical therapy to restore function to the Hand, also thru Muir Orthopedic. I have found these people to he consciences and highly competent. I would certainly recommend them.

I wouldn’t taken Anne’s review to heart at all! I was there and let’s just say we were all frightened by her behavior. Thankfully the police were called because she was having a psychotic breakdown…literally! She was screaming and cussing at the three police officers around her about some form. At one point, She was screaming “they are holding me against my will” over and over while looking up at the corner of the ceiling. She was sitting on a chair and none of the officers were even close to touching her. They were trying to calm her!
No bashing here regarding mental illness but this was clearly the case.
This place provides excellent care!

I have found Muir Orthopaedic Physical Therapy to be the best physical therapy I have ever participated in. Kayla Utley and Amanda Pazooki to excel at strength building and obtaining the desired range of motion. They both find new and challenging ways to work the proper muscles so that you don't become bored with a routine. I can't recommend Kayla and Amanda strongly enough.

I was there when all that happened! The patient yelled very loudly using the “F” word several times. When she finally got to the front desk, she slammed the clipboard onto the counter. At that point, Amanda called the police! She feared for the safety of all of us there (and rightfully so). When the police arrived, she (the patient) continued to yell and kept using the “F” word!
I have been treated very respectfully by Amanda and all the staff!
Thanks for being so GREAT!

Been waiting 2 weeks to get a call to schedule my MRI on my right elbow and I understand it is out of the Orthopedics office hands until the insurance authorizes it. In the meantime I left a message with the nurse yesterday stating that I am in agony...I have a 1 year old I must take care of and I can hardly change a diaper let alone even do my hair or put my clothes on from this pain. I asked the nurse to leave a message asking the docter to possible suggest any AT HOME remedies like physical therapy, sling for arm etc...to help alleviate this pain I am in... since now the pain is not JUST in my elbow but the right arm in general. I received a call today from the MRI department to schedule for this Friday until the nurse stated my LEFT elbow was on the order. UMMMM NO! Its my RIGHT elbow. The MRI technician stated she can NOT schedule the appointment now until the docter sends the correct order...stating the RIGHT arm. So I called the Orthopedics office since I haven't heard from them yet about my message the day before. I had to leave a message once again because they were BUSY! But in there favor I received a call back immediately (within 30min) and was told that the correct order is being sent immediately to the MRI department...AWESOME! The nurse then said that she spoke to Dr. Lewis about my pain and he said he will not prescribe any medication until surgery!!! Hold on...last time I remember I DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR A PRESCRIPTION!!! I ASKED FOR HOME REMEDIES! What's upsetting to me is that when a patient is in agony instead of calling to find out what's going on and possibly brainstorming what to do to help alleviate or try at home THE DOCTER automatically ASSUMES I was asking for meds...although NOT once did I request any medication. When I told the nurse I wanted a call back because I didn't ask for meds and I was not satisfied with the docters Assumption that I was seeking medication...the nurse Tamara then wants to respond with attitude that they will not be able to call me back until tomm afternoon because they are busy until then! UMMM... I'm sorry that I have inconvenienced you and your staff..I bet if I made an appointment and the docter was getting paid you would care alot more!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!
1-2 days after review!
I originally gave a 3 star rating but have switched it to a 4 star due to the office manager Angela who immediately called me after my review to patiently listen and talk to me about my concerns. She also went out of her way to expedite my MRI...as in I have an appointment today. She has an amazing bed side manner and definately cares about the patient care at this facility. Thank you Angela for hearing me out and also acting as a patient advocate. Muir ortho is lucky to have you on there team!

Dr. Kou operated on my right and left big toes to straighten them. I'm walking much better now than before my operations. I recommend anyone who needs foot surgery to be treated by Dr Kou.
Great doctors and staff.
Exceptional Surgical Experience I recently had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Michael Michlitsch, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding level of expertise and care provided. From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, every step of the process was handled with professionalism and compassion. Dr. Michael Michlitsch demonstrated unparalleled expertise in their field. Their extensive knowledge and skill set were evident throughout the entire surgical procedure, instilling confidence and trust in their abilities. What sets Dr. Michlitsch apart is his genuine concern for his patients. The compassion shown before and after the surgery made a significant difference in my overall experience. He took the time to address all my concerns, patiently explaining the procedure and ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Dr. Michlitsch was accessible, responsive, and took the time to thoroughly answer my questions. This level of communication alleviated any anxieties I had, fostering a trusting doctor-patient relationship. The attention to detail extended into the post-operative care, with Dr. Michlitsch providing clear instructions and closely monitoring my recovery.His commitment to ensuring a smooth recovery process was evident, and I felt well-supported every step of the way. I would also like to commend the entire support staff at Golden State Orthopedic and Spine. The team's efficiency, friendliness, and professionalism complemented Dr. Michlitsch's excellent work. In conclusion, I highly recommend Dr. Michlitsch to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate surgeon. My experience was exceptional, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact they've had on my health and well-being. Thank you, Dr. Michlitsch, for your exceptional care and expertise.

Dr Alexander is great. Listens. Very attentive
He is a fantastic doctor. He took care of my sister when she severely broke her elbow. He always made my sister feel comfortable and listened to. He gave me the same attentive concern when I became his patient a month ago. I definitely would recommend Dr. Michlitsch to anyone with an orthopedic injury.
Dr Michlitsch explained the pre and post-surgery procedure to my wife and I. He made the whole process less stressful for us. High recommend Dr Michlitsch and his team
Excellent service from Dr. Lewis
Dr. Elrashidy is always painless, informative, and very pleasant and professional.
Dr. Schilling does an excellent job treating the arthritic condition in both my hands. I highly recommend him
Thank you.
I have been seeing Dr. Elrashidy for several years for orthopedic issues and he performed shoulder surgery for rotator cuff repairs in May of this year. He is a very skilled surgeon but more important, he has an infectious and dynamic personality. He takes the time to explain your treatment and answer any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Elrashidy and Golden State Orthopedics & Spine.
GoldenGate Ortho is a great place to come to if you’re having any issues or injuries with joints or or tears near the joint area. My team of Professionals have treated me and maintained my level of comfort for years. I highly recommend them to anyone experiencing pain from discomfort or injury.
The doctors at golden state orthopedic are some the best doctors around. I have had knees surgeries with Dr Mitchlitsch and hand surgery with Dr Schilling. They are the best and I will go to no one else
I just visit my doctor for the first time, but I will leave some comments for the next visit which is coming soon
Very good .stFF
It’s excellent
Great surgeon, very intelligent, but hard to get in contact with so make sure any questions you have you ask him then and there.
I had emergency elbow surgery last week & could not be happier with the care I have received from Dr. Michlitsch and his staff. The surgery went well & I am so pleased with the progress I have had in just 1 week. Dr. Michlitsch is so caring and really explained every part of my procedure and after care in very understandable terms. The office was efficient in getting all the authorizations approved for PT very fast so I can still go on my vacation in a few weeks! Thank you all.
The surgeon Hany Elrashidy was great to work with. He listened to everything I had to say, explained everything he was going to do in detail. After the bicep and shoulder repair, going tooT now recovery has been fairly quick no complaints so far. Thanks
We are very pleased with the staff of Golden State Orthopedics and Spine; they are very caring and responsive. I must make a special mention of Dr Wendy Wong who performed the TKR surgery on my wife's left knee last year and is now treating her right knee. Dr Wong, besides being an excellent surgeon, is a wonderful and caring doctor and human being!
Dr Wendy Wong is very caring and knowledgeable
The entire staff is so nice, they make you feel at home. Dr Elrashidy is so positive and upbeat...his smile lights up the room. Would recommend to all who read this.
I don’t go on any of the social media’s but he was fantastic!!!
Dr. Hany Elrashidy is clearly one of the leading Orthopedic Physicians in the East Bay Area. He provided me an expert diagnosis and treatment for my injured right knee. Visit him at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine ... highly recommended 😃
Good job
Dr. Wong is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. I had a successful knee replacement January 2022. The surgical team was excellent, easy to work with, extremely efficient. I have recommended Dr. Wong many times.
Very pleasant staff and very friendly professional doctor.
Knowledge , kind and explained everything . Little wait time .
Awesome service, great communication with patients.
He help me know and explain well what problem I have in my knee, we’ll explain I thank him I give him the 5 stars.
Very professional and knew exactly where I was experiencing pain and discomfort
It would have been a 5 but I still haven’t heard from anyone about my MRI on my right shoulder. I was in 2 weeks ago.
Dr. Michlitsch has taken good care of my orthopedic issues for so many years. He’s a good listener and very personable. I only wish I could keep him going forward, but I have aged out and will need to switch to an arthritis specialist who treats older patients. I will miss Dr. Michlitsch.
Was very polite, got me in Surgery fast. Was able to do the Surgery without an MRI which was amazing.
I met with Dr Michlitch to discuss options for my knee issues. We reviewed records, old X-rays and MRI’s, before getting a newer MRI. He was able to identify the issues lending to my knee problem, and the various courses of action to alleviate them. He was very personable, logical in his presentation, and answered all my questions and concerns. He is well versed and was a pleasure to work with.
I have known Dr. Hany El Rashidy for 10 years, or more, and he has treated my family of five with great care ranging from shoulder to knees. Thankfully no foot issues brought to him. He is diligent, friendly and really cares about bringing health back to our bodies. Super nice and skilled at his job.
.
Very thorough and personable attention to my shoulder issue. Dr. Michlitsch was generous with his time and thorough in presenting treatment options. A veteran of prior shoulder surgery, my experience with Dr. Michlitsch was substantially painless by comparison.
I was happy to get an appointment with Dr. Lewis after not seeing him for 10 years. He did surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel and did a great job. So was glad to get in to see him for a trigger finger on my lefr hand. He spotting the trouble immediately and treated it with a cortizone shot. I was so happy to not have to have surgery. So far it has eased the pain , but was told if it didn't fix it completely to come back in two months. He is so pleasant and quick to spot the problem and the office staff was very helpful too. Thank you.....
Caring and professional. Follow up has been excellent. My shoulder was in really bad shape. I am pleased with my recovery so far.
She explained treatment options very clearly.
Nice experienced team.
Dr. Michlitsch is great. Takes his time explaining things. Has correctly assessed issues with my shoulder and my knee. Surgery on my knee was efficient and quick to heal.
Dr Lewis listens to you! He’s patient and most importantly, advises on what is best for you and your use case. I would highly recommend Dr Lewis as he’s cured my ailments.
Dr. Kou gave all the explanations I needed. Very nice doctor
Dr. Schilling is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. He has a wonderful bedside manner. Very caring and the office staff is very efficient and friendly. I have recommended him to many people. The Sequoia outpatient surgery Center, is wonderful. Very boutique type of operation there with many people to care for you. Dr. Schilling has a reputation of referrals by other physicians. One of my physicians had Dr. Schilling do the same carpal tunnel surgery that he performed on my wrist. He recommended him highly. I would certainly want Dr. Schilling to do any other surgery in his specialty for me at any Time. He was most concerned that all the surgery went well and that I was pleased with the outcome. I thank him so much for giving me relief from the pain that I was experiencing prior to my surgery. I am thankful for his professional care. Signing off, Shirley
The shot I received relieved the pain by the next day.
Amazing service, great stuff, very professional and I strongly recommend.
Extremely pleased with care and the improvement on the left hand. Right hand improving from initial surgery but waiting for same on recent -- 3 months ago. Dr. Lewis has been great, and some therapy after surgery also was helpful. -- Scott May
Dr. Richards is my work compensation specialist. He is a very professional doctor. He is kind, thorough and patient. I would strongly recommend him to other people who's looking for a good orthopedic specialist.
Online verification made it so easy and convenient at the clinic which resulted to a short waiting time. Doctor was very thorough and gave a couple of choices for me to decide. Staff are very accommodating and friendly.
I see several Orthopedic Surgeon at Golden State and they are all wonderful! Dr. Elrashidy is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manor!! I knew when I had to have my other knee operated on, Dr. Elrashidy was going to be the one to do it!!
Dr Preston was very thorough, listened to my concerns/questions and provided specific feedback regarding how to treat my condition.
Dr. Michlitsch is a very caring Dr. He listens and I never feel rushed. He is very thorough.
We are extremely happy with the service and utmost care provided by Dr Michlitsch and the entire team who assisted us during our daughters ACL reconstruction surgery over summer. He was very patient with us and put our doubts to rest by providing us with guidance on the surgery and rehabilitation. She is getting better every day and she also received amazing assistance during her past physical therapy sessions and she is transitioning into a sports reconditioning program and glad to see her complete a jog on the anti-gravity treadmill. With all sincerity we could not have done it without you! Thank you.
Dr. Wendy Wong is a wonderful surgeon and communicator. I knew what to expect with my full knee replacement and the surgery and recovery were a complete success.
I had my arthritis knee surgery and I did my physical therapy at Golden state orthopedic. The physical therapy team were amazing here and everyone is so friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Kim was very helpful and patient with me and I highly recommend them.
All of my visits have been excellent. To the point, no wasted time.
Kind and thoughtful physician and staff. Fully explained procedure to us. I felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend
Dr Wong is very professional and offers good medical advice. A caring person and does her best to work one into her busy schedule. The treatment I received was helpful, unlike a previous Doctor’s treatment. I recommend her to anyone with hip trouble.
10yrs ago I was in need of a rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. I selected Dr. Preston to perform what turned out to be a very complex surgery. The rebuild went better than expected which left me delighted with the procedure. Four months ago I tore the rotator, this time in my left shoulder. Without hesitation I contacted Dr. Preston and as expected the operation went off without a hitch. I am 13 weeks into my recovery and my shoulders have never felt better. Professional, with great surgery skills is what you get with Dr. Preston. I would wholeheartedly recommend Preston to anyone in need of ortho work. His work is outstanding and his approach to his patients is second to none. The good doctor rates a 10 out of 10. He is simply THE BEST!!!
Very personable and knowledgeable. An excellent doctor
Top notch care…
Very easy to talk to and explained everything in great detail was very nice.
10/10
I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Preston many years ago so when I saw his name on the list of doctors in my network that was it. I made an appointment and met with Dr. Preston and I can say I was very impressed with his professionalism, his knowledge and how comfortable he made me feel. After reviewing my MRI he was able to explain what was happening that 2 other doctors missed completely. I am very relieved to be having Dr.Preston as my surgeon and am looking forward to a positive outcome so I can move on with my life finally. Thank you Golden State Orthopedic and Spine and Thank you Dr. Preston. Dave R.
Great Orthopedics. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Has helped me with all 4 of my limbs. ;)
I had major foot surgery two months ago. I had the same surgery two and a half years ago by another doctor. The first did not go very well. My recent experience with Dr. Kuo was excellent. I was given precise instructions for my recovery. Today my foot is in great shape with my toes straight, no bunion, and no pain. Excellent job Dr. Kuo and his staff.
Very pleasant doctor!!
I found Dr. Richard’s to get a second opinion on my shoulder. I don’t regret that decision for one moment. I like to ask maybe more questions then a lot of other folks but even when I do he’s always taken the time to answer my questions, and I feel that my injury has been dealt with correctly.
Dr. Richard's was great as he fixed my wrist through a surgical procedure. He then also demonstrated various stretching techniques I could do to also go along with my physical therapy. I felt really comfortable talking to him about how my wrist was feeling
I saw Dr. Lewis after a terrible accident and breaking my wrist. I felt he understood my problem right away and cared. I felt after the many office visits that he wanted to do as much for me as he could, in the easiest way possible, and gave me the best care. Even in my sadness every time I saw Dr. Lewis I felt better after seeing him, more optimistic. He was very patient and understanding.
Dr Michael Michlitsch has been great. Very good care from him.
I had an awful hand injury on 6/9/21. I was initially treated at an ER in Oakland. I got a referral to Dr. Joshua Richard. Upon seeing me Dr. Richard's was quick to schedule the first of what would become three surgeries on my hand. I had developed an infection and also had necrotic tissue. I believe that had Dr. Richard's not acted as decisively as he did, I may well have lost a couple of fingers. My wounds are healing well and I am receiving physical therapy to restore function to the Hand, also thru Muir Orthopedic. I have found these people to he consciences and highly competent. I would certainly recommend them.
Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Medical was also very professional and informative as well.
I wouldn’t taken Anne’s review to heart at all! I was there and let’s just say we were all frightened by her behavior. Thankfully the police were called because she was having a psychotic breakdown…literally! She was screaming and cussing at the three police officers around her about some form. At one point, She was screaming “they are holding me against my will” over and over while looking up at the corner of the ceiling. She was sitting on a chair and none of the officers were even close to touching her. They were trying to calm her! No bashing here regarding mental illness but this was clearly the case. This place provides excellent care!
I have found Muir Orthopaedic Physical Therapy to be the best physical therapy I have ever participated in. Kayla Utley and Amanda Pazooki to excel at strength building and obtaining the desired range of motion. They both find new and challenging ways to work the proper muscles so that you don't become bored with a routine. I can't recommend Kayla and Amanda strongly enough.
I was there when all that happened! The patient yelled very loudly using the “F” word several times. When she finally got to the front desk, she slammed the clipboard onto the counter. At that point, Amanda called the police! She feared for the safety of all of us there (and rightfully so). When the police arrived, she (the patient) continued to yell and kept using the “F” word! I have been treated very respectfully by Amanda and all the staff! Thanks for being so GREAT!
I love muir orthopaedic. The staff is very professional. I always refer friends and family and coworkers to the clinc for any medical needs
Very Professional! Dr Richards was excellent! He is friendly and took the time to answer all my questions. My surgery went VERY well, and his follow-up and post-operative care has been GREAT! Highly Recommend!!
Wonderful professional service... highly recommended team of medical and office staff...
had a knee replacement with Dr. Wendy Wong. The surgery went smoothly. Dr. Wong is very professional, friendly and helpful, she took her time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. Also she is lovely to speak with. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming her patient!
Have had two procedures done by Dr Michlitsch one for my shoulder and one for my hip He was fantastic and followed trough the whole way to recovery I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends
Kayla, a DPT, is professional, patient, and does a good job of explaining the purpose of the various stretches and exercises she has you do. Diligently follow her recommendations, and you will see improvements.
Nice people and very professional.
Saw Dr Torres and was very pleased with his concern for my problem. I called back a few days later and he returned my call and answered my concerns.
This is the first time I have ever had to endure a physically debilitating injury which led to my first experience with Physical Therapy. The MOS Team from top to bottom is phenomenal.
Met with Dr Narloch. Very thorough, excellent discussion of my condition and planned resolution. Took enough time; didn’t feel rushed. Pleasant to deal with. I Would recommend.
I had a great experience. The office is very efficient and the lady who helped me get the preauthorization was a great help. Dr Shannon and his Staff is professional and polite. I loved the experience.
I’ve been under Dr. Michlitsch care for the past few years for my knee treatment and he has taken exceptional care of me. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and thanks to his care I have seen a remarkable change in my chronic pain. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional Orthopaedic surgeon for their healthcare.
Have had great service over the years. Very capable orthopedic practice.
I had a knee replacement and Amanda was excellent in messaging and helping me to get better fast. She is very kind and loving. Nicole too she was very kind and loving. I will ask for both of them next time.
From my very first visit with Dr. Wendy Wong, I knew I was in the best of hands for my hip replacement. It’s only been 10 days since my procedure, and I could not have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Wong did an “outstanding ” job and I will not hesitate to refer her to my friends and family for a hip or knee surgery. Dr. Wong deserves every five stars.
I have been to both Ortho. Offices in San Ramon and Walnut Creek Ca. Both demonstrated dignity and respect to me as a patient. Kudos!! Keep up the excellent job. T. Huerta
Been waiting 2 weeks to get a call to schedule my MRI on my right elbow and I understand it is out of the Orthopedics office hands until the insurance authorizes it. In the meantime I left a message with the nurse yesterday stating that I am in agony...I have a 1 year old I must take care of and I can hardly change a diaper let alone even do my hair or put my clothes on from this pain. I asked the nurse to leave a message asking the docter to possible suggest any AT HOME remedies like physical therapy, sling for arm etc...to help alleviate this pain I am in... since now the pain is not JUST in my elbow but the right arm in general. I received a call today from the MRI department to schedule for this Friday until the nurse stated my LEFT elbow was on the order. UMMMM NO! Its my RIGHT elbow. The MRI technician stated she can NOT schedule the appointment now until the docter sends the correct order...stating the RIGHT arm. So I called the Orthopedics office since I haven't heard from them yet about my message the day before. I had to leave a message once again because they were BUSY! But in there favor I received a call back immediately (within 30min) and was told that the correct order is being sent immediately to the MRI department...AWESOME! The nurse then said that she spoke to Dr. Lewis about my pain and he said he will not prescribe any medication until surgery!!! Hold on...last time I remember I DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR A PRESCRIPTION!!! I ASKED FOR HOME REMEDIES! What's upsetting to me is that when a patient is in agony instead of calling to find out what's going on and possibly brainstorming what to do to help alleviate or try at home THE DOCTER automatically ASSUMES I was asking for meds...although NOT once did I request any medication. When I told the nurse I wanted a call back because I didn't ask for meds and I was not satisfied with the docters Assumption that I was seeking medication...the nurse Tamara then wants to respond with attitude that they will not be able to call me back until tomm afternoon because they are busy until then! UMMM... I'm sorry that I have inconvenienced you and your staff..I bet if I made an appointment and the docter was getting paid you would care alot more!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! 1-2 days after review! I originally gave a 3 star rating but have switched it to a 4 star due to the office manager Angela who immediately called me after my review to patiently listen and talk to me about my concerns. She also went out of her way to expedite my MRI...as in I have an appointment today. She has an amazing bed side manner and definately cares about the patient care at this facility. Thank you Angela for hearing me out and also acting as a patient advocate. Muir ortho is lucky to have you on there team!
I cannot hope for a better Dr than Michlitsch
First visit and with an appointment it was a breeze. Good front desk staff who were swift, helpful and willing to engage and get you in quickly. Plus a good doctor who gave me options on what is the best course of action.
