Can tend be in a bit of a rush at times.

Dr Downing performed hand surgery in my left hand. (9/2011). I fell at home and I needed an emergency surgery. I received excellent service and I can move my hand , normal movement, I recovered with no problems, never have pain again after surgery. The staf was very nice, I am very pleased and thankful with Dr. Downing. T. Dunstan,San Diego. Ca.

I was pleased with the demeanor of Dr. Kris Downing. He was thorough and answered my questions. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done for my advanced arthritis so my options are limited. His staff was courteous and helpful. A good doctor in my opinion.

I definitely did not thank Dr. Downing, and all the great people at Ortho 1, enough! I’m really grateful for the kind attention and stellar care when I was so vulnerable. Three months post surgery I am almost pain-free. I am ecstatic to have my left hand fully-functional and getting stronger each day. I remain in awe of the power and intricacies of the human body…With the meticulous genius Dr. Downing in control of the surgical repair, my results are beyond the beyonds.

Downing MD did a great job. I have a plate and 3 pins. Left wrist was fractured. He got me to a point where Therapy is able to get me back to 100%. Not promised. But so far improving rapidly.

was faced with the real possibility of losing the end of a thumb after a dog attack. I was told in the waiting room that most injuries like mine result in amputation.

From the moment I met him in the ER, my fears of being permanently maimed were melted away. His confidence and desire to make my hand whole again gave me the reassurance I was in the right hands. He fully discussed the approach he was going to take and why. He came to me in the O.R. before I was put under to once again explain what he was going to do and said he would also clean and stitch up numerous small wounds on both my hands. I now have complete use of my thumb again with full feeling and no pain.

His office staff are all very friendly and hospitable. While he has a very busy office, during my follow up appointments, I always felt he was focused on me and my needs when we were face-to-face and did not rush through my appointment. This tends to cause a bit of a wait beyond the scheduled appointment time, but knowing he wasn't rushing any of his patients and would afford me the same respect makes the wait completely worth it.

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Downing. He did an amazing job not only saving my nearly completely severed and broken thumb, once completely healed, no one will even know of the injury.

While I hope never to need to see him again, if I ever required orthopedic surgery, he would be my first call. I would direct any friend in need of his expertise without hesitation.

6 years ago I fell off a 30ft roof and broke ALOT of stuff in my body but the left wrist/hand basically imploded. While I was in the hospital I had 2 different surgeons basically tell me that I would never use my hand again and the surgeries they did were just to save it from having to be amputated. I found Dr. Downing while was in the hospital/rehab center and not only did he did he save my hand I have about 80% mobility and full function of it within a year. I was able continue my normal life thanks to him. I never write reviews for anything but he deserves 10 stars for the work he did on me.

First time with Dr Downing. He was very polite and professional. He did the procedure I needed in the first appointment and even had a nice lady helping with my 1 year old.

Very good explanation of my problem and solution Thank you. Glad surgery will alleviate my pain

Dr Downing was so receptive to my questions and concerns. He explained using a model of the shoulder. His bedside manners were terrific. Also his staff girls were delightful

Dr. Downing and staff were very knowledgeable and caring. I feel confident I will receive the best care possible.

Dr. Andry saw me regarding my fractured ankle. He was very empathic and concerned not only for my ankle, but for me as a person. He understood the real impact this injury had on my daily life and functioning. I went from 100% able-bodied, to 100% dependent on my spouse for everything. He welcomed my questions and took the time to explain his course of treatment, and the recovery that would follow. I felt very reassured and confident that he was going to successfully repair my ankle and get me going on recovering my mobility and function. Dr Andry not only is an excellent physician, but is also a physician that cares for his patients as a whole. I’m very grateful he was my Doctor.

Great guy highly recommended

Great

Todo salio bien de mi cirug?a, ten?a m?s problemas de lo que el pensaba y me pudo reparar todo el da?o que ten?a en mi hombro...me tienen que operar el otro hombro y claro que regresar?a con el

Dr. Andy got to the heart of my issue (shoulder pain from an old sports injury) superfast, and then explained in a clear, logical manner my options to deal with this issue.

Dr. Andy seems to be concerned and knowledgeable about my specific shoulder injury and getting me into physical therapy to help with my healing process.

I’m a fan of Dr Andry was thorough and responsive. I would definitely see him again should the need arise.

He is a great Dr understand and listen ....I would recommend him to all my friends and family..the staff is great

Dr Andy is great

Dr. Andry is a man of few words and I like that Questions asked and answered straight forward. No maybe or possibly just what it is and what it will be. I really appreciated that. I would recommend him without question

Extremely grateful that I found Dr. Palia! He is not your average surgeon. He has high expectations. He is critical of others in the care pipeline.

He repaired a complete tear of my patellar tendon and rotator cuff/labrum tear. He did such a good job I swear my "bad" knee is stronger than the good one. My rotator cuff tear was in a rare place. He said he might not be able to repair it with conventional methods. When I came out of surgery he said it was a good repair. Now I'm doing push-ups and running/hiking/boulder hopping. No pain!

On other sites I've read complaints about his lack of bedside manners. Do you want a social butterfly or a good surgeon? Dr. Palia is legit!! I can't thank him enough for putting me back together.

Dr. Pallia fixed my 83-year old Mother-in Law's accidental hip injury (needed new hip), my rotator cuff (sp).....made it bionic... and now gave med a total new knee.... our family will always entrust our joints to this surgeon....pick the best! He will tell you TRUTH

Came with my brother to see Dr Palia for a 2nd opinion on his knee pain. Dr Palia took the time to to review his x rays pointing out what he saw and why he thought that was causing his pain. He then went on to show him a a working model of a knee and explained exactly what he thought was happening.

We never felt rushed in his office. Dr. Palia was warm and personal as was his receptionist.

I would highly recommend him and will turn to him on the future with any future knee, elbow, or shoulder problems

Dr. Pallia is wonderful. He did my emergency surgery and he is kind and progressive which is just what I needed. I would highly recommend him as an orthopedic surgeon.

I can’t express enough gratitude to Dr. Chris Pallia for a successful surgery to repair a massive tear of my rotator cuff. From the very first consultation, I felt cared for and informed. Highly recommended.

My experience was excellent, with all the staff and most of all with Dr.Pallia my hero. I appreciate all of you,thank you from my bottom of my

He’s the best ever!!! Very informative and speaks so gently. Love him!

Dr. Pallia has made it possible for me to walk again! He is very patient and thorough. His staff is very professional and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. pallia for any hip, knee, or shoulder surgery.

Dr pallia is an excellent surgeon I highly recommend him.

Very good gets the job done

Dr. Kusneov was wonderful....he addressed any and all of my concerns and treated me with great care & empathy. My thanks to him & his office manager Jessica!

Dr. Nick is a very good doctor and surgeon who came to me highly recommended from a good friend who had the arthroplasty performed by him on her knee successfully. I thought he did a great job and would highly recommend him as well!

Am very happy with the hip revision done by Dr. Kusnezov. He was thorough at explaining the procedure prior to surgery. He was open and personable and answered all questions during the follow-up appointment.

Great doctor that truly cares about the patient’s well being.

Dr. Kusnezov is professional, caring, took the time to answer all our questions, addressed all options available to me.

Dr K is a total pro and real American hero that saved lives in the GWOT. Read his bio on the site. It’s insane how much awesomeness he’s accomplished at a young age. The staff are awesome and all my follow ups are pretty quick.

Dr. Kusnezov is the best.

Great experience everyone was really nice.

Hasta hoy si estoy contenta con la cirug?a

The best experience at an ortho clinic so far, Dr kusnezov was very attentive and listened to all of my concerns, very friendly and at the same time, to the point, I’m so happy that I found him and I definitely will suggest him to every one that needs an orthopedic surgeon, simply the best!

I had the best results. The Dr. Is no nonsense right to the point. I like that in a doctor. No pain the next day and 3 days after I can walk without crutches or a cane , I'm not running by no means but I feel so much butter. Thanks to the doctor and wonderful staff

Dr. Tradonsky is very professional, competent, direct and through
I respect him highly as do many other nurses and other medical professionals

I had a very good experience with Dr Tradonsky. He was direct and to the point which I appreciate in a Dr. He did a rotator cuff repair for me. I knew what to expect, I knew how long it would take to heal and what the protocol would be. All in all, of course it was a painful surgery and recovery but I am very grateful that I knew what to expect. I would refer Dr Tradonsky to my friends and family.

I was so happy to be seen on such short notice! I was also very grateful that the x-rays revealed that I had not broken any ribs, considering the difficulty that I was having when trying to catch my breath. Dr. Tradonsky was caring and listened to my concerns. I felt heard and reassured. Considering my "old age" of almost 78, and my collection of former injuries from athletics, I know that I have to be more careful; but that too is a challenge. I appreciate the doctor's thoroughness and his "words of wisdom."

Dr. Steven is very kind, the assistants not really
