He was always professional, kind, and considerate. He then hired Garrett Bronken to join his staff. Garrett gave me my last few shots. Garrett too was wonderful. He's easy to talk to, and he advises you step by step what he's going to do for you with the shot. I also received a shot in my shoulder area recently from Garrett, as I injured my back moving a heavy object. I felt better the next day. Dr. Samagh's office manager, Christy, is very efficient and friendly. I am going to miss them all, as I am moving out of town. They are a great group. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for orthopedic and regenerative therapy. They are a wonderful group.

They all made a very scary situation much easier. This was my second exact surgery and Dr. Samagh was kind and caring, and has such great bedside manner, something lacking in todays doctors. My surgery was so much easier than my first surgery two years ago, and my healing has been smoother with the help of both Garrett and Kristi's help. I would not hesitate ever turning to this group if you ever need surgery. They are at the top of game, and have new and innovative ways to get results that others don't. They specialize in areas where others really don't know what they are doing. Trust these people.

One year ago I was happily running on the beach in Encinitas when a wave came in closer than…read moreexpected. I sprinted to get out of the way and hurtled a small boulder. When I came down on my right foot I heard a loud "pop" and felt a tremendous pain in my butt. Turns out I avulsed all three hamstring attachments from my pelvis!! Thankfully I am friends with the former Chargers sports medicine chiropractor so he was my first phone call. He told me, quotation Dr.Tal David is the Best orthopedist!" So I went to Scripps urgent care to have it x-rayed to make sure no bone had dislodged with the attachments. The ER doctor said to me, "I hope you have a good orthopedist, do you?" I told him I had been referred to one but if he knew of one I wanted that referral to. He replied "Dr Tal David is the best in all of San Diego" I can happily report that I am running faster and farther and I'm stronger in every way post surgery. I'm hiking, paddle boarding and doing everything I did before and more. I have also had terrific functional physical therapy and Dr. David recommended a specific one in Encinitas, G3. I wouldn't trust my physical function to any other orthopedist. He is the best of the best.

What can I say, he is exceptional. Not only is he a great experienced surgeon that can put a…read moreshoulder back together with his eyes shut , but his bedside manner and caring for his patients is beyond what you get with most Dr's . He is just such a sweet guy too. Very humble and cordial. He is upfront, tells you what to expect upfront and actually see you himself for aftercare and check ups. His team is also fantastic. Caring and they keep everyone up to date on whats happening when your person gets out of surgery, what to expect and what to do. Just all around you feel that everyone is in the best hands. Hands down, I would recommend him every time and I actually do every time someone asks me about a surgeon here, as I also work in the Medical field.

I finally found the best orthopedic doctor in San Diego - It's Doctor Murphy!…read more Staff is great, office is fairly easy to access, and Doctor Murphy is the best of the best. Experienced, thorough, and great bedside manner. Additionally you may notice he is a "MD" not a "DO" like so many of the younger docs in San Diego. I've found that having an "MD" instead of a "DO" makes a big difference. Doctor Murphy is also the right age. He's old enough where he has obviously done thousands of procedures but young enough where you don't have to worry if he is past his prime. Again...I've found so many of the doctors in the San Diego are are just too young and inexperienced. I went in for a second opinion on an Achilles injury. Doctor Murphy was the only doctor to use an ultrasound (the last one did not) and the ultrasound showed not one but TWO small tears in my Achilles tendon. Luckily they were small enough that surgery was not necessary but rehab would be tricky to ensure it did not turn into a full tear (Kevin Durant injury). While the first doctor had also told me I had a partially torn Achilles that would heal on it's own, knowing the exact spots of the tears and the severity of the tears put me at ease and allowed us to better form a recovery plan. We now knew that I HAD to be careful. No guessing. Doctor Murphy made me feel just as important as any of the world class athletes he has as clients and that is important too. In the future if I ever have a more severe injury and require surgery I will only trust Doctor Murphy to do it. 5 stars! Thanks Doctor Murphy and staff!

The first word that comes to mind for Dr. Nelson is COMPASSION!…read more I am an RN with many years of long ER shifts and abuse to my own body and spine. In the early Spring I suffered from a neck injury that sent a pre-existing condition spiraling out of control, and I had herniated my C5-C6 and C6-C7 cervical discs. Causing tremendous pain, and numbness and tingling in my left arm. After failed PT, two epidurals, and trigger point injections, I researched for the SD areas best spine specialist and Dr. Nelson's name appeared at every turn. I was mostly focused on finding a surgical solution that allowed for me to keep an active lifestyle or decrease my range of neck motion. Thankfully he is also associated with Scripps, who has been nationally recognized for their patient care. Dr.Nelson is one of the very few in San Diego that is highly specialized in the Mobi-C artificial disc replacement device for the use in more than one cervical disc replacement. When I met Dr. Nelson my wife and I were blown away by his compassion, his attention to detail, his ability to empathize, and to listen. He answered all of our questions and proposed possible solutions from livijg with what I had with medication management to having surgery. I opted for a two level Mobi-C disc replacement over the old school cervical fusion, after careful research into the pros and cons, and finding that my condition met the criteria for the implants. I had surgery last week and could not be any happier!!! All of my pre-operative pain, numbness, tingling, and loss of motion has since been resolved. Outside of some post surgical pain and sore throat, I am back on track! I cannot speak enough to Dr. Nelsons abilities to be one of the few to do multiple level disc replacements in San Diego, and his dedication to his patients shows every time I have spoken with him. Take it from an RN who has been around almost every type of doctor (good, bad, and the worst), Dr. Nelson is and would be again my first choice for any spine related injuries.

I initially came to see Dr Yoo for a second opinion for my left knee. I had a revision done on my…read moreleft knee in 2020 by a different surgeon. I have had issues with the knee for the last 3 years and the previous surgeon kept saying everything is fine. Dr Yoo took X-Rays in June of 2026 and determined I had Catastrophic Failure of the Femerol Head in my left knee. He immediately scheduled me for major reconstructive surgery- total knee revision. Dr Yoo is the most Amazing Surgeon and Human I know. From the day I met him to current day , one thing has remained the same. His demeanor and caring attitude for people. He is so willing to share his perspective on the situation and he is also an incredible listener. His compassion for others is so obvious and he always has your best interest at heart. Since my Surgery in August 2026, which was a very complicated and lengthy surgery, I now have none of the crazy pain I had before.Dr Yoo did an amazing job and I am so grateful for him and his team. It is doctors like Dr Yoo that exemplify the professionalism for the orthopedic profession and humanity. This is why peoples review's are so important. people rely on these reviews when looking into making a life changing change. Dr Yoos entire staff is extremley professional and friendly. The energy that Dr Yoo brings is so positive ,inspiring and comforting! Thank you Dr Yoo for sharing your knowledge and giving me my life back. If you are looking for someone who really cares about you and in more than competent, I would contact Grossmont Orthopedic group and ask to see Dr Yoo.

Leaving the Dr's name out…read more... Honestly, I'm a little hesitant to write this review because I still need a physician, and this doctor came highly recommended. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I'm not sure which was more frustrating: waiting over **2 1/2 hours** past my scheduled appointment to be seen, or scheduling a virtual follow-up to review my MRI only to never receive the call. Instead, I received a voicemail summarizing the MRI findings. MRI results can be complex, and I had questions about what they meant, my diagnosis, and the next steps. That's a conversation that should happen directly with a patient--not through a voicemail. I understand that medical offices can run behind and that physicians have demanding schedules. However, patients' time is valuable too, and timely communication is an important part of quality care. I truly hope this experience was an exception because I had heard such wonderful things about this practice, but unfortunately, it left me feeling frustrated and unheard. *While I was waiting 2.5hrs for my appt a lady came in and said "I had to come b/c no one answers the phone...while I don't have an issue w/ the nurse calling or emailing me back, I just have an issue w/ time management...be aware the Ortho Dr only works there VERY LIMITED hours and maybe if I was told that...I would have asked for someone else*

He also figured out which disc was causing my pain. I had previous steroid injections and they didn't hit the spot that needed to be hit. This doc uses the steroid epidurals to help diagnose which disc is causing the pain. That is especially important in those of us who have multiple back issues. I am so grateful to him and his entire team. They always let me know if they're running behind and I totally understand why when I realize all the homework he does before seeing you and making recommendations. When surgery day does arrive, hopefully down the road, I will know I'm in very good hands.
