    Descending Couloir Amy in Patagonia
    Brian B.

    Dr. Callander is a very skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner! I have had both of my hips replaced with a BHR by Dr. Callander, first one in 2013 and second in 2018. I have been an athlete all my life, primarily a runner, starting with Cross Country and Track in High School. In my senior year I started to be plagued by mysterious problems with my gait that were impacting my running. Through college I played Ultimate frisbee at a competitive level and continued for 5 years after. In the following years I branched out to hiking, backpacking, surfing, mountain biking, climbing, mountaineering, skateboarding, and yoga. I first started noticing something was wrong probably at 25 when I would have a weird clicking in my hip sometimes. By 28 I noticed that my range of motion was starting to be different on my right side during yoga and would sometimes notice pain after a backpacking trip. By 35 pain was a daily experience and I started restricting my activities no more running but still active in other ways. I finally decided to have the BHR done by Dr. Callander at age 37 knowing that recovery would be a journey. My goal for recovery was to be at 110% of my pre-surgery abilities at 1 year, I far surpassed that! I was back doing all of my activities within a year and pushing to levels where my hip previously held me back. After a few years of enjoying all the outdoor sports California has to offer pain free, my left hip quickly started deteriorating, and it was time to head to Dr. Callander for an upgrade on that side. I am now almost 2 months post surgery and my recovery is going great! Thanks Dr. Callander!

    Did you know Yelp started with the CEO looking for a good doctor? I know personally Yellow Pages…read morewasn't helpful at all. Welp, the rest is history. I never leave home without this helpful tool/app. Dr. Lyndly Tamura is a miracle worker! She's attentive, compassionate and listens to her patients. She fixed my mom's sciatica, and my husband's excruciating back pains. Her assistant Amit is stellar! I am an Executive Assistant, which requires a tremendous amount of attention to detail, amazing organizational skills, and confidentiality. Not everyone is that talented, very hard to find, especially these days - nobody reads or follows instructions. Amit is super patient and answers all my questions. PA Ryan Ansari is thorough and asks the right questions. What an "A" team! X-rays are onsite, which is a huge bonus. Ample parking in this healthcare complex. So blessed to have great doctors and nurses who genuinely care. They truly are the unsung heroes. I tell my kids these are the people they should look up to. What happens when their favorite athlete gets injured, they also need doctors. We will always need amazing doctors and medical staff around the world. 'Til we meet again ~ stay healthy and see you on Yelp (SYOY)!

    Dr. Shah seems like a very competent physician, although I would appreciate a less condescending…read moretone at times. That said, he absolutely took the time to explain things thoroughly and answer my questions, which I genuinely appreciated. My one-star review is primarily about my experience with Jasmine, a medical assistant at the Novato office. For several weeks, I had been working with Almendra to obtain a referral for physical therapy. Despite multiple follow-ups, the physical therapy office never received the referral. I was also told a paper copy would be mailed to me, but I never received that either. I then contacted the call center to try to resolve the issue and received a message from Almendra on 5/7 outlining possible ways to get the referral to me. I responded the same day and followed up again two days later, but never received a response. I understand things happen, but the lack of communication was frustrating. On 5/11, I called the call center again and spoke with Kelly, who was kind and empathetic. She suggested that I could pick up a printed copy of the referral from someone named Connor at the Novato office on 5/12. When I arrived at the office today, Jasmine, Connor's medical assistant, approached me and asked what I needed. After I explained the situation, her response was: "You came all the way here for that? It's in MyChart." I explained that it had been three weeks since my appointment, I still had not received the referral despite repeated efforts, and I had not been able to access it in MyChart. At that point, her tone felt increasingly dismissive and condescending. She responded, "You know Dr. Shah is your doctor, right? Not Connor," to which I explained that I was aware of that, but had simply followed instructions from Kelly to ask for Connor specifically. Jasmine then corrected me by saying Kelly was from the call center, not the office. I'm not sure where the hostility came from, but this interaction felt unnecessarily disrespectful and dismissive. Patients who are already trying to navigate delays and administrative issues deserve to be treated with basic courtesy and empathy.

    I had multi level lumbar fusion surgery with Dr. Su in December. I was in horrific pain and he…read moremoved a surgery to be able to get me in! The staff has been consistent and responsive - well beyond most Dr. Offices. Previously, I had cervical fusion/decompression surgery and lumbar decompression at UCSF. Every day I wish with all my heart that I'd gone with Dr. Su for those. It's hard not to blame myself because I'm convinced if I'd gone with Dr Su initially I wouldn't be left with cervical chronic pain. Dr Su's approach is to do the most minimal surgery because you can always do more, but can't correct surgery that shouldn't have happened. In my case, this lumbar fusion and reconstruction Dr Su did on November was to correct the first aggressive lumbar decompression at UCSF. I'm now 6 weeks post surgery and feel like I'm getting my life back! Nerve recovery has been difficult and painful, and the staff has been incredible at addressing it. For the first time I feel like I'm part of a team working to heal me. Shout out to PA's Connor and Julie, and Anna and Bruno for back office support. One more thing to consider...the practice consists of several high quality doctors that offer supporting procedures adjacent to surgery.

    Review for Dr. Naidu and Dr. Su…read more Apologies for the delay in writing this review--but my gratitude has only grown with time. Thank you, Dr. Naidu, for truly changing my life. One of the things I appreciated most was how honest and transparent both you and Dr. Su were with my prognosis. Your directness allowed me to make informed decisions without false hope, while still feeling heard and respected. You didn't just prescribe a path--you listened to my concerns and worked with my choices. The main reason I chose to fly from Los Angeles--despite the costly flights and hotel stays--was because you believe in starting with conservative care before jumping to surgery. That meant everything to me. Although Dr. Su thought my lower back MRI showed serious issues, he still agreed to try epidural injections first. Thankfully, I only needed two. Those injections gave me my life back. Before meeting you both, I had been off work for six months. Every provider I saw in L.A. pushed for surgery. As a nurse, I've seen patients come back years later with even more pain after surgery. I know surgical techniques have evolved, but I wasn't ready to take that step without a team I could trust--and I trust you both. Just three weeks after my first injection, I returned to work. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day, and I was finally able to do it again. Thank you--truly. My husband got his wife back. My kids got their mother back. Before treatment, I looked and felt ten years older. Now, I feel like myself again. I had been managing well with just Tylenol and ibuprofen for the occasional mild pain. But I made the mistake of seeing a chiropractor recently, and everything changed. My MD ordered a new MRI, and now both my neck and lower back are flaring up again. So--my next visit with you is already booked for August, flights and hotel included. I'm hopeful once again. Lastly, Dr. Naidu--thank you for fitting me in on my first consultation. When I look back, we laugh now about how I begged you to give me that first injection right away. You told me to be there at 8 a.m. because you had a small gap in your schedule--but what you didn't know is that I was already parked outside your building by 7 a.m. I wasn't going to miss that appointment. Best decision I ever made. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Dr. Su--I'll never forget when you looked at my MRI and said, "Oh no... your back is messed up. The epidural won't give much benefit." You had such a straight face that I thought to myself, Oh no... if he can't help me, I'm in deep sh--. But despite that, you still advocated for me. You spoke to Dr. Naidu, and he gave me a life-changing injection. THANK YOU. Just two injections--and I've been doing well ever since! Please, don't give me that look again when you see my MRI this time. Words alone can't express how grateful I am. Thank you.

    I hate calling attention to my need for medical care, but i feel i owe it to my many fans out there…read moreas well as those who simply consult yelp for guidance to report a good physician when i come across one. i first consulted Dr. Wingfield for a frozen shoulder. i had previously seen a surgeon about this who injected cortisone in the area but somehow missed the spot. within a month the problem resurfaced. a good friend mentioned Dr. Wingfield who, sure enough, did it right; the problem completely disappeared. the latest issue was a minor tear of the labrum in the right hip socket, and for this i decided to forego the surgical route altogether and return instead to the fine doctor who had so capably fixed me up before. there are differences between a shot of cortisone in the shoulder versus in the hip; the difference that means the most difference to me is the length of the needle used for the injection. one thing i have to confess at this point is how much i hate needles, have since i was so very young that all i remember from my first vaccination is the color of the doc's office building (still hate pink for this reason) and the sharp pain. on the other hand as i think on it, my dislike of needles has actually stood me in good stead as a very protective limitation in another realm altogether; the aversion drew a certain line in the sand if you know what i mean, and if you know that's about all i care to say on this anyway. it turns out that the needle for this procedure is about 3 inches long, and of course knowing this caused me no end of misery just thinking about it. "please, Dr. Winfield, be gentle," i whined. "oh, this won't be so bad as all that. what, did someone tell you something about this?" but of course by then it was too late, the needle was already in sight which was enough. still, i soldiered on. and then, almost before she started doing anything, she said simply, "you can open your eyes now, Bob, it's done." it had been almost painless. in short, Dr. Wingfield is amazing in my book, knows what she's doing, and at least in my case so far she doesn't hurt. she is herself quite an accomplished athlete in numerous sports, including of all things high wire trapeze performance. I highly recommend her for any sports and exercise injuries that may not require an operatio, and in that regard will consult her opinion should an orthopedic surgeon suggest "you might do well to fix that."

    Came in with 1) torn extensor carpi radialis longus…read more 2) glass in wrist 3) fractured radius Hillary braced the fractured arm and removed the glass from the arm with the torn ECRL (extensor carpi radialis longus), operating right in the area of the torn ECRL without noticing that tear. The problem was presented with symptoms of weakness, visually apparent imbalance, instability, and a deep incision at where the ECRL was cut. Hillary misdiagnosed this injury as a torn TFCC. That misdiagnosis meant that my injury would go untreated. It's been seven years and now, a more skilled and observant doctor quickly diagnosed the problem, ordered an MRI which confirmed his suspicion. Now that the doctor has pointed it out to me, it seems quite obvious to me. This new doctor, however, does not want to repair the problem due to the age of the injury. He thinks it's too old. It should have been fixed years ago. I'm looking for a doctor who can fix it. I'm willing to do what it takes to recover from the surgery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJKsnWwMIp8

After breaking my wrist and having to undergo surgery, she guided me through this difficult time with kindness, empathy and support. She was always there when I needed her and kept me informed and optimistic when I was afraid. Her expert surgery skills are beyond reproach. My wrist is now fully functional and the scar is barely noticeable. Her assistant, Emily, was the most helpful regarding disability and work related issues. She was very patient and kind throughout dealing with all of the forms she was asked to fill out. And to top it all off, her onsite hand therapist, Yaffa Meiner, is the BEST! She worked with me for 6 weeks making sure my wrist, hand and arm would be functioning as well as before. She supported me through many teary and worried moments and always made me feel supported. She was the kindest and most positive therapist, who made me believe in my abilities as we worked through the challenges. I am forever grateful for Dr. Redlin, Emily and Yaffa for taking such wonderful care of me.
