“Very professional and skilled. Answered all questions I had regarding my surgery and treatment. I never experienced any physical pain and only slight discomfort after surgery. I had no pain or discomfort during the healing process which I attribute to the skill of Dr. Fontes. I feel fortunate to have had Dr. Fontes as my surgeon.”

“After much research and personal recommendations, I selected Desert Orthopedic Center for my left total hip replacement. I'd already had my right hip replaced in another state with great results and loved my doctor. DOC had a hard act to follow. They were wonderful! Everyone is exceptionally nice, welcoming and professional. Dr. Kang is very thorough and very encouraging. I appreciate his warmth as well as his willingness to deal with my personal concerns and worries. Everything went perfectly. I'm currently doing PT at DOC and they are also consummate professionals. I highly recommend Dr. Kang and DOC! ”

“From the first day I met Dr Kang I knew he would take care of me. He gave me two beautiful new hips which has changed my life. He gave me my life back, and for that I will be eternally grateful to him and his staff. He deserves the highest praise for his expertise. I never imagined I'd walk again or even be in this world 3 years after 2 surgeries? But I'm here because of Dr Kang! Thank you more than you'll ever know...”

“What a great experience! To consult with someone who clearly knows his stuff, who sincerely cares about his patients, and who surrounds himself with competent, smiling people --- that's very rare today! After hip replacement surgery (less than 2 weeks ago), I couldn't be more happy. The surgery was easy, the recovery ridiculously gentle, and I feel better walking than I have in a long time. Every person I met along the way: Dana, Laura, the X-Ray techs, Kricket, and the whole surgery team - everyone was happy in their jobs and willing to do whatever it took to keep me on track. At this point I am a raving fan and I will refer, refer, refer, whenever the opportunity arises. ”

“I have been to several different doctors for different issues. No matter who I saw, I was treated with kindness,compassion, and true concern for resolving my issue. My results from surgeries has been exemplary. My, back, hand, knee,and shoulder have healed with no complications. These are not "surgery hungry" doctors. In fact, they're quite the opposite. They try other options until surgery ends up the final option. They have even refused to do surgery if the surgery is not guaranteed to resolve your issue.”

In today's world of constant pressure to perform and productivity with regard to profitability, he stepped out and showed humanity. if you are looking for great bedside manor, this is the practice to use. ”
