Wow.. this place is terrible!!! They call me yesterday to confirm my appointment. When I scheduled the appointment I told the I was tired of waiting 1 HOUR every time (plus the 20min ahead of time I show ip), for the 5min with the doc... they assured me that this time my appointment was with the physician assistant and that his schedule is better managed and there would not be a wait. Additionally they offered to book me at 1pm so that I would be 1st after lunch and have no wait.. So today I get a ride here at 1, messing up my work schedule and my wife's... in hopes of less wait. When I show ip, nobody is at the reception... son someone comes, takes my name and tells me someone will call my name soon. 15min later one of the receptionist comes out and tells me the X-ray machine is down so they would not be able to see me today, that if I wantes I could get the Xray elsewhere and come back Because I have a broken ankle, I cant drive myself I tell her... I would have appreciated a call ahead to save my time and my wife's... they call you not to miss it, but they make you come in and wait to say they cancelled on you?! On top of that, I am now STUCK in the lobby because my wife went to run an errand to make better use of time. And these guys dont even care.. no apologies just waste my time. Oh, and they can't tell me when I can schedule the follow up.... so what happens now to my ankle??? I was here for a reason... anyway, the receptionist just walked away not giving a damn I need a new doc, ASAP read more

I am sitting here at Dr Foglar's clinic right now. Absolutely unorganized from a scheduling standpoint. They are running 1 hour behind and not apologetic st all. When I asked why the delay, they are like he is a busy doctor he goes to Morgan hill San Jose Sacramento! How is that my problem???? If you don't respect your patients time (who have jobs and family responsibilities) then you should rethink your approach to your practice. Why can they just say no to patients??? This is when I took an appointment 10 days ago. Skip this place and save yourself some precious time. read more

I just want to thank Dr. Foglar for his expertise! From the first visit he made me feel comfortable and listened to everything. Most doctor want to send you on your way but not him. I am forever grateful to him and his staff. Four months later my hand is healed and I'm back to doing my daily activities. Thank you read more

My mom was involved in a terrible car accident and we were referred to Dr. Foglar by our attorney. When we first visited his office, my mom was in a terrible state of fear and anxiety. She was worried about her future and if she was going to be disabled for life. Dr. Foglar could immediately sense this and assured her that he would do everything in his power to help her get better! His kindness and compassion really helped put her at ease and reassured her that she could get through this. From day one, we knew that we had found the right orthopedic surgeon to help my mom through this ordeal. Over the next year, Dr. Foglar performed a cortisone shot and when that didn't work, we moved onto PRP shots and that started to improve things. He recommended physical therapy and also to meet with other specialists to workout some of my mom's other non-bone health issues. While it's not his job to examine or take any interest in non-bone related issues, he does. Why? Because he cares!!! He looks at his patients with a holistic approach, understanding that many outside factors can affect your orthopedic recovery. His office has never pushed any medications on my mother and there is never pressure to do anything she doesn't want to do. Dr. Foglar has really been a blessing during this difficult time in our lives and we are so grateful for his expertise, patience, and genuine interest in helping my mom get better in the long term! He really doesn't try to make an extra dollar by pushing short-term solutions and I really appreciate his honesty and candor when discussing the right treatment for my mom. Now, every superhero has a trusty sidekick! And in comes Dr. Foglar's right hand person, Carrie! She's also been a huge help during our visits and while there were some mix-ups at the beginning with scheduling with the front desk staff (especially since we need to get approval through our attorney), Carrie stepped in and has helped us so much throughout this entire process. She found my mom's illusive vein for blood drawing, knows how to handle her elderly crankiness and has a firm, but kind assertiveness with just enough authority to respectfully get my mom to listen to her directions. She's also been in this industry for a while and is very knowledgeable about the other doctors we are seeing and listening to our never-ending drama with all my mom's complicated health issues that were caused by this accident. Everyone in the office, front desk and medical staff are what is very hard to find these days -- people that are good human beings that treat others with kindness! They care and do their best to help you!!! And while there might be long wait times or difficulty getting a quick appointment - there's a reason why Dr. Foglar is so "high in demand" - I promise you the wait will be worth it once you get to meet him. His honesty and warm approach will be refreshing and very helpful in your journey to fix your injury. We couldn't be on this path to recovery without the entire team at Advanced Orthopaedics!!! Thank you so much for your hard work :) read more

On my wrist is the tattoo 11/11/16. I put that there as a representation of the day my life changed forever. I was struck by a red light runner while riding my motorcycle. Although I have no memory of the accident, I was told that she was travelling at over 50 mph and after slitting my motorcycle in two pieces, I was thrown like a rag doll after bouncing off her windshield. My injuries were severe and I am told it is a miracle that I survived the trauma. Since that day, I have undergone over 9 surgeries to include facial reconstruction surgery, surgery to put my foot back together, surgery to my hand, acl and mcl on the left knee, acl/pcl/mcl on the right knee, repair of an avulsion fracture of the right leg, surgery to my jaw, and 2 surgeries on my nose. I also suffered a severe TBI. When my family and I first met Dr. Foglar, my desire was to someday be able to walk again. Dr. Foglar looked at me and said he would do better. He knew I was very much into extreme sports and was an avid fan of soccer, specifically Premier League soccer. After long conversations, he found that I was not only a fan of the game, but I played at a high level for many years and prior to my accident, continued to play in various leagues around my city. While I was hoping to someday walk again, Dr. Foglar's plan was to get me back on the pitch. While I thought he was crazy at first, I trusted him. He made me feel at ease, made me laugh, and clearly showed a deep sincerity in his care and treatment of me. Each visit started with competitive banter back and forth between us regarding the game, and ended with a handshake and a smile. After the first surgery, the beginning of the grueling rehabilitation started and while it was his plan to get me on the pitch, it was my plan to not disappoint him. As soon as I was able to put any weight on my left leg, I was in the gym, rehab facility, pool, and working as hard as I could to prepare my self for the difficult days to come. One leg down, one to go. The right leg required two different surgeries and was a more difficult process. The rehab was something I can't begin to describe. It was a test of courage, desire, and heart. But if Dr. Foglar believed in me, I definitely was going to believe in him. There are many people on this earth who brag, exaggerate, and just basically stretch the truth to make themselves look important or special. Dr. Foglar is clearly not one of those people. He is humble, empathetic, a magician in the operating room, and a man of his word. Not only was I able to return to the pitch, just a few months ago I participated in the Vermont Marathon as part of a relay team. My leg of the relay was a little less than 5 miles. Dr. Foglar has made me believe that miracles are possible. He is a true professional in what he does and is just a wonderful person. My life would not be the same had he not taken me as a patient and did his magic. I was able to walk down the aisle to marry my beautiful wife, have our first dance, and stand with my family in celebration! Thank you Dr. Foglar. Thank you for fulfilling your promise to me. Thank you for caring, not only for me, but for my entire family. The man upstairs put you in our life for a reason, and you did him proud. read more

See all

Dr. Foglar and his PA are attentive, knowledgeable, caring and terrrific. The technicians are quick and kind. I am SO glad that he was in the ER when I arrived. Phone calls do go to voicemail. The front office staff is friendly and hard-working. Definitely recommend Advanced Orthopedics! read more

Well it's a long story, I was life flighted to Salinas due to a motorcycle accident. After breaking both hands and both feet and lot of internal bleeding I had the pleasure of having Dr Folger put my hands and feet together correctly while I9 healed up."Dr Folger was the emergency trama physician on duty". The doctor was awsome and spent lots of time explaining what and how he had done all the repairs on me to my family..After 3 months 0in the hospital in Salinas, I was fortunate enough to meet his staff. The girls there were great, i was helped with appointments, i was helped medication and the best part was they took care of my disability insurance with this great state of California. Dr Folger and his staff allowed me to focus on me and my rehabilitation allowing me to return to work with in nine months, im pretty proud of that and I couldn't of done it without Dr Folger and his staff.. A very special shout out to Carrie for taking such good care of me on the medications "for comfort " and I was gonna say helping, but9 she didn't help... SHE DID IT.... She took care of the state of California and allowed me to relax and heal and get back to work....thank guys for all you do...I highly recommend this group of people, you won't find a better bunch... Dr Folger is very people oriented, easy to talk to and has lots of patience to explain Dr stuff...thanks again guys, I'm lucky to have had all of you on my side, Ronald Caddell read more

This office needs to work on their scheduling practices. They will lose all their patients because people have busy schedules and do not like to be kept waiting. The front office staff should call patients to tell them the DR is late read more

Dr. Foglar was great and very attentive. He helped me with a cortizone shot in my upper right shoulder area so that it now feels a lot better. The shot also helped get rid of this annoying crinkling sound I used to have there. The staff is very friendly, especially Maggie. I really like the nice aquarium they have there, and I find myself mesmerized by the fish when I'm there for my appointments. read more

Dr.Foglar is outstanding! With that out of the way I have been here for both knee, left wrist, left elbow, and shoulder. Out of all the issues he could have cut me open but he gave me options. I only had the surgery on my knees because he set me up on a program that help me back from the other injuries. So many other doctors I saw alway went rite to "ok you need surgery" Foglor took the time to break all my options. He went over the MRI, XMAS and explained everything. He gave me possible out comes to multiple actions in short and long term. This is what a healer is supposed to do not just cut you open. The office is conveniently off the 85 clean an calm. The MA staff are on top of there craft ad well. I can not say enough about the treatment thank you all. read more

The doctors are nice, but they cost way too much, and the guy who did my x-ray took almost two tries for every position (about 10 positions total...). My wrist was hurt cause by playing basketball. Asked me if I want a brace, and I ask how much is it? The nurse told me it's only going to be 10ish dollars. In the end, they charge me 100 to my insurance, and I've to pay 50 out of the pocket. Never trust nurse.... read more

Long wait times and rude service. I wouldn't recommend this place unless there are no other options available to you. The front desk could really use some customer service training as well. read more

I like Dr. Foglar's conservative approach which acknowledges that surgery isn't the first--or even best--approach for every patient. I believe that he does care about each of his patients. More importantly, I do think he attempts to respond empathetically to patient feedback in his own awkward way. Although his skill is superb, I cannot give Advanced Orthopedics a 5 star rating because of several administrative and/or ethical issues I encountered with his office and employees. They are: 1.) Consistent lateness. Running behind 15-20 minutes happens. Consistently running 45 minutes behind in all but the first appointment blows. 2.) Practice is known to other care providers (e.g. my physical therapy place, my MRI place, and my primary care place) to be notoriously difficult to get ahold of. The practice runs the fax line through the computer (maybe because it's cheaper?) which results in an inability to fax progress reports to Dr. Foglar for review for quick and effective follow-up. Instead, you must wait for an appointment (I've never been able to get an appointment without 2 weeks advanced booking), get a copy of your chart from your provider, and hand carry the chart/progress notes to Dr. Foglar for review. I feel like it shouldn't have to be this difficult. 3.) My biggest gripe with Advanced Orthopedics: they dress students up in scrubs and have them take notes/observe while Dr. Foglar or his partner Donnelle DuBois (Physician Assistant) meet with you. When I pointed out to Ms. DuBois that I had never consented to be inspiration porn for aspiring doctors, she flat out lied to me (claiming that the person wasn't a student, though it was confirmed my front desk folks and the student) and Ms. DuBois refused to remove the student. At least with Dr. Foglar, when I raised the concern and reinforced it, he wasn't happy but he dismissed the student. This practice of using students without patients knowledge or informed consent, to me, is a HUGE breach of ethics. Fine if you want to train students, but patients should (and do, legally) have the right to say no. And quite frankly, I think Ms. DuBois should be fired for her lack of ethics. read more

Yes, the wait sucks but knowing that allowed me to accommodate my schedule. Donnelle walked into the room and almost instantly knew what was wrong with me, with the confirmation of xrays. Although the news was mixed, I even cried a little, she assured me that they would get me back to an active and pain free life. She was very compassionate of my concerns, and I left with a treatment plan including immediate treatments and options down the line if conservative measures fail. Although they are surgeons they try to treat conservatively first before going the surgery route. That is something I appreciate a lot. Surgeons make their money by performing surgery, to push it off of a patient speaks mountains of them. I can put up with a long wait if the doctor is worth it, and they are. read more

If I could give them zero I would!!!! Don't they know people have things to do and places to be! My appointment was at 330 and it's been 2 hours and I have not been seen yet! This is ridiculous and they are expensive as well!!! This place needs to have better management of time schedules . read more

I recently went here and was seen by Dr. Sandeep Gupta. I was very impressed with his patient care and knowledge. Dr. Gupta did not rush despite having a large number of patients. I had injured myself while playing sports and Dr. Gupta was able to help me. This was my first time here and I was very impressed with meeting a doctor that did not rush and was able to see me on time. I am going to come here again. read more

Dr. Foglar is one the best orthopedic doctors around and his staff is very helpful and GREAT!!!!!
