Dr Dubois is amazing! I had a total shoulder replacement done 4 months ago and I am thrilled I had it done. Today I am doing a happy dance with great mobility and no pain. For anyone fearful of this procedure you must trust in Dr Dubois capable and competent skills. The surgery was way easier than I ever imagined! A great big thank you to Dr Dubois, Ken, Erin and staff. Forever grateful and blessed with my new shoulder And being back to the sports I adore and have missed so much. read more

Dr Dubois performed a shoulder reverse replacement surgery. Great experience from start to finish. The office staff is outstanding. The staff at Grossmont hospital were exceptional as well. To my surprise the surgery was painless! I Highly recommend Dr Dubois without reservation. read more

This office is horrible! After waiting in the waiting room for 20 minutes past our scheduled appointment, I asked how much longer. I was then informed the front staff hadn't bothered to check us in. After waiting another 10 minutes for a cortisone shot to be prepared, we just gave up and told them we were leaving. If this office can't handle a SHOT, I would NEVER trust them to do SURGERY on a member of my family! Do yourself a favor and find a better orthopedic doctor's office. read more

I had shoulder replacement surgery in June of 2023 and my experience was excellent. it was reverse shoulder, required no physical therapy and three months later I have great mobility. still working on full mobility in terms of reaching behind my back, but that's it. my biggest annoyance was the sling. I had to wear for six weeks. I had minimal pain. read more

After experiencing shoulder pain for a number of months, I made an appointment with Dr. DuBois. I was resigned to the fact that I had a tear and would need surgery to treat the constant pain. After checking in and undergoing x-rays, Dr. DuBois met with me. He really listened to me and showed empathy. He performed some tests and determined my injury wasn't what I expected (turns out I make a lousy orthopedic surgeon) and could be treated conservatively. Even though the pain didn't immediately resolve (with PT it will) the sense of relief I felt was amazing and my whole outlook improved. Thank you, Dr. DuBois! read more

His score: A++, 11 out of 10, Six Diamonds! I cannot praise Dr. Dubois and his staff and surgery team enough to express how pleased and grateful I am for his services. The entire office staff at the Grossmont Orthopedic Center is courteous, efficient, and always a pleasure to deal with. (Kudos to Ken for being my go-to guy!) I was referred to Dr Dubois by both my GP and Sports Medicine Doctor. I had bad shoulders from arthritis and 64 years of wear and tear. I did not know that replacing them was even an option until recently. Dr. Dubois specializes in shoulder replacements and keeps up with the latest state of the art techniques. He has the best reputation in Southern California and now I can see why. I had my RIGHT shoulder replaced in early December, 2018. I had very little pain after a few days and am able to use my right arm after about a month of wearing an arm sling.. IN FACT, the entire procedure was SO smooth and relatively pain free that I went ahead and had my LEFT SHOULDER REPLACED THE FIRST WEEK IN February, 2019.I call the procedures a "non-event." I had my second surgery scheduled for 7:00AM, and went home the same afternoon. Please do not hesitate to contact me at hodgesm123@gmail.com if I may supply more information about my superlative experience with TWO surgeries DR. Dubois performed flawlessly for me! My friends now call me the Bionic Man! read more

It's a little early for me to post a detailed review of my first meeting with Dr DuBois but I was very impressed with my first visit. I arrived a little bit early and was welcomed in almost immediately. The nurse interviewed me and was done in less then 10 minutes. I was then taken in for X-rays which also only took ten minutes. I then met Dt Dubois in the exam room. He gave me a preliminary diagnosis based on my E-rays. We then discussed options and determined that I needed an MRI before we could could go any further. Dr DuBois was very efficient and to the point. I really liked him and felt totally at ease. The whole visit took only 45 minutes. I look forward to getting my shoulder repaired and feel like I am on the right track. read more

Following two surgeries to attempt to repair a shattered humerus, I was referred to Dr. DuBois for a total replacement of my right shoulder. I am right-handed so given all that I had been through since shattering the humerus I did my homework to ensure that I had the "best" in the field. The surgery was performed in 2016 and my shoulder and arm is 100% functional. Dr. DuBois is an expert in shoulder repairs and replacements. In addition to his knowledge and experience he takes the time to listen and answer any questions you might have. I highly recommend Dr. DuBois to anyone considering shoulder surgery. read more

Been to see Dr. DuBois twice Great Doctor!!! Easy office to park at and get to. PERFECT!!!!

I recommend him to everyone. He did MRI. Recommended PT before surgery. The PT from Peter and Talita saved me from surgery rotator cuff. Dr Dubois has so much experience he said he had seen people in my torn cuff condition that could do a lot or not much. So he said try PT. I am cured and stronger than ever in my life and I'm pretty old and have always worked out. I repeat stronger that ever. I owe Dr. Dubois, Peter, and Talita my life. They are all matchless in their professions. You are lucky if you cross paths with Dr Dubois. Highly experienced. Woodrow Faust read more

I couldn't be more happy with the fine care I have received from Dr . DuBois and his entire team . The professionalism is refreshing . He came as a personal referral and I understand why this was the only choice my primary care Dr. would give . I had a reverse shoulder replacement . Preparing to do the other shoulder . So grateful I feel so much confidence in Dr. DuBois . read more

I had my shoulder surgery over one year ago and regained almost 100% of my strength and range of motion. My surgery was seamless and I really can not even see a scar. I think that Dr DuBois is a very skilled surgeon. The office staff need some improvement but I'd rather have a great shoulder and some frustration than good service and a bad surgeon read more

Do not go here! You will be disappointed. It is a horrible experience. Went here to get help with an injury. Called the office, was told the cost, made the appointment...nightmare begins: His office refused to lift a finger to bill my insurance company; had to have my insurance, talk to their office manager to get it done. They could not access my medical records; even though, I asked twice if I needed to bring them. Saw the doctor for 2 minutes and he tells me he is not going to do what I was quoted on the phone. Billed my insurance for over $500 for just the office visit. What a waste. I hope he has a shiny boat... Ended up going to CORE in Encinitas, and could not be happier. read more

My husband, Bruce had a reverse shoulder replacement on 2-6 and wanted me to write this review. He was very pleased with the expertise of Dr. DuBois as well as the care and attention he has received from the Dr. and support staff. The staff at the practice has been diligent in following up and explaining every step of the process. Bruce would highly recommend Dr. DuBois for orthopedic needs. read more

Dr DuBois repaired two rotator cuff tears back to back on the same shoulder. I checked him out thoroughly and I believe he is one of if not THE BEST SHOULDER SURGEON . I am 100% functional with no pain. Thank you Doctor! And yes I noticed the deficiencies in his office staff. But they are not the Doctor nor are they representative of the Doctors skills. I'll take a great surgeon like Dr. DuBois and tolerate his staff any day. read more

Dr. Dubois was very impressive. He has it all-excellent knowledge of shoulder problems, great bedside manner, empathy, ability to communicate complex medical information in a comprehensible way, and a nice personality. I am so grateful to have found such a great doctor to help with this problem. read more

Dr. DuBois replaced both of my shoulders in late 2017 and I couldn't be more happy with my results! I am finally pain free for the first time in years, my range of motion is greater than before by a long ways and I am golfing and enjoying life again. He is the first doctor that made me feel comfortable about doing two complete shoulder replacements. He is an excellent doctor who knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone with shoulder issues, this doctor is the best, period! read more

The entire staff was friendly upon check in and discharge. My doctor was great, gave me some exercises to work on until I can start physical therapy. So glad that xrays were available in office and I didn't have to be sent out. Great experience. Thank you read more

Tore my rotator in a car accident, seat belt shoulder strap got me. Saw Dr. DuBois and he repaired my torn rotator. Surgery went just as planned. No surprises, was home that afternoon. Started physical therapy the following week. The physical therapist looked at surgical photos and said they looked great. Therapist said my rehab went way ahead of other patients with similar injuries. Shoulder feels great again. read more

I was there at 815am for my 830am appointment as requested and had emailed in my paperwork and had my MRI and X-rays as requested. They check me in and take me to a room...where I waited for 45 minutes! I walked out to ask if I was going to see the doctor soon, and they told me yes, he just arrived and he was with another patient. I asked why he had just arrived and they said it's because he was in a meeting. What?! They asked if I want to reschedule, but I had driven from UC and didn't want to have to drive there again considering return traffic to work. So, I tried to be patient back in the room, but after 15 minutes decided to leave and I just asked them to refund my copay. No apologies and their attitude wasn't great. Keeping somebody waiting that long is rude, inconsiderate and just an FU...we don't care about your time. I understand that doctors will get called into surgery unexpectedly, but a meeting? Really? No follow up apology call or email either. read more

I tore my pectoralis which means I tore my tendon from my peck chest to my shoulder all the way off. I had Dr. Benjamin Dubois perform surgery, because he was so confident about how I'm going to go back to 90% plus. My surgery was supposed to be at 7 AM he got there at 8:30 AM, this is the type of doctor that tells you what you want to hear so he can make the money. Right after my surgery he spoke to my wife and told my wife that he's very confident he's going to go back to really close to being 100% because of the surgery was successful. Well he lied to my wife's face and he lied to me after the first few appointments we had after the surgery he told me that it will take time to heal and be back to where you we're at. My last appointment he made a lot of excuses which he said that he couldn't do much more than what he did well come to find out he never reattached my tendon. I went and got three doctors opinions a year after my surgery after the MRI the doctors told me that my tendon is not existent which means I don't have tendon from my chest to my shoulder it's empty. which means this doctor didn't do nothing for me he just collected the cash. It's been about a year and five months since my surgery and I can't even do one push-up I can't work out I go through pain and spasms. He ruined my life I am a very active physical adult and now I feel like I'm useless.i'm writing this because I don't want no one else to go through what I went through I'm 38 now and I feel like I'm 60 because of this injury. Be aware of Dr. Benjamin Dubois, he's no good do not trust him. I'm talking about this because I don't want no one else to go through what I went through. In a couple more months I have to get a cadaver tendon from a dead person to place from my chest to my shoulder. Because of the faulty doing of Dr. Benjamin Dubois!!!!!! read more
