“Dr. Tingey went above and beyond his practice treating me and besides being a workers comp, he put that aside and treated me like a normal patient. I am honored to have him as my doctor. He is the best workers comp doctor I have ever had. I would give him 100 stars if there was. I would recommend him to all my friends.”

“My wife was a patient of Dr. Watson's, and recommended him, after I had had a very bad surgery experience and result on my left foot, with another Doctor. Dr. Watson examined my foot from the prior surgery, and on the next visit, took the time to explain what had to be done to repair it. After a fairly long wait (due to the demands on his time), he performed the surgery, and corrected all the mistakes the first Doctor made! . My recovery/therapy/ability to walk without pain, took about six months, as he had correctly informed me after the surgery. The post operative pain was worth it, and within that amount of time my foot started healing, and feeling much better. It was not long after my first surgery, that my right foot started giving me the same problems I originally encountered prior to my first surgery on the left foot. However, this time, I was able to have the benefit of Dr. Watson's surgical expertise without the worry of having to do it over at some point in the future. The recovery on my right foot was considerably faster, and I suffered a lot less pain and a lot faster overall recovery. I believe Dr. Watson lives up to his reputation as a great surgeon. Although, due to his intense schedule, he spends little time with you, he is a consummate professional, and takes care of issues and problems you have in a no nonsense manner. I am very grateful to him for the great work he performed on both of my feet.”

“My experience with Dr. Perry & his staff is and has been amazing. They are very happy to help me and very professional. Dr. Perry is a great doctor and personally takes time to make sure he checks everything over and explains so you understand what's going on at every time. I have had 3 surgeries with him and anything I need I will go back to him for any future care I need. I will refer all my friends and family to them and I know they will take great care of them... Dr. Perry and Diana are a great team and asset to your facility. ”

“Dr. Miao and the Physical Therapist and Therapy Techs were fantastic. Dr. Miao diagnosed my condition and appropriate care with no muss or fuss. When I showed up at the door I hurt like crazy and I had already undergoing therapy elsewhere with no change. He was involved in exactly what exercises or stretching needed to be done and was very responsive to Jennifer's queries concerning treatment or needed changes as necessary. I am really glad that I didn't need surgery. Thanks again.”

“Dr. Kang was very thorough. He reviewed the xrays of my knees and manipulated the leg that was causing me pain. After the exam, he prescribed physical therapy, suggested I forego Pilates for a while, and gave me a prescription for a topical ointment.”

“Dr. Lee was very helpful in relieving my carpal tunnel problem. The surgery he performed was excellent. I can't even see a scar. My numbness in my finger and my hands have gotten better and I am able to use my hand and fingers more. The pt therapist he assigned me to gave me the best therapy and home exercises to do on my own. I do not have the pain or burning sensation that I had.”

“Dr. Raissi is the best in my book! Before he even saw me, he had another doctor come in, and Dr. Beck trimmed a callous on the bottom of my foot at the surgery site, under my little toe metatarsal, which Dr. Raissi had removed. I'm happy to say that I am now walking around without the pain I'd been having, which I was afraid would lead to more surgery all too soon. If I do need more surgery in the future, I will have Dr, Raissi do it of course.”

“Dr. Lee has been providing care for the past two years for sciatic nerve pain and hip bursitis. Due to the number of involved vertebrae, he has tried to avoid surgery and attempt alternative treatments such as Physical Therapy and pain management/steroid injections. I have recommended Dr. Lee to three of my friends and then have been very happy with him. Dr. Lee has takes the time with me to explain in detail the results of my MRI's and has been very empathetic regarding my pain symptoms. I trust him completely.”
