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*

Having coped with a damaged knee for 25 years, I always knew the day would come to have it…read morereplaced, so that I could not just continue, but up my game, as a roadie cyclist. I'm going to write a short book here, because it seems to be the only way to communicate how much I appreciate Dr. Hanson, and why. Over the years, I had met with nearly a dozen orthopaedists, gotten relief from various injections, looked at all manner of edge-therapies, had three conservative surgeries on the knee, lived with the outcomes, and eventually was advised to go ahead and get the replacement. Along the way, I observed the bedside manner of all of these doctors, noting that joint-replacement specialists, like many specialists, are, perhaps because of their training and lofty intellect, not as interested in patient communication as are most GP's. Some of them, I think, interact best with patients who are... unconscious. After doing a good deal of asking around, I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Peter Hanson at Grossmont Orthopaedic. His credentials were unbeatable, and his ratings on Yelp and elsewhere were remarkable. So, I timed my appointment with him to also satisfy my desire for a second opinion. My experience with Dr. Hanson at that appointment was so excellent that, although he truly intended only to offer a second opinion, I was nearly ready to ask him to perform the procedure himself. For a leading medical specialist, Dr. Hanson is astonishingly low-key and patient. Very approachable yes, but it's more than that. He's more like my trusted old friend taking care of me. Anyway, after yet another rushed, slightly contentious session with my other (busy, up-and-coming rockstar) specialist, I had had enough and scheduled my surgery instead with Dr. Hanson in January. On surgery day, he was a comfort both before and after the procedure. Now in my 6th week of recovery, I am delighted that I chose Dr. Hanson to perform my surgery. Although the recovery requires substantial effort, physical therapy, and some pain tolerance, my knee gets better each day. In closing, if you are lucky enough to get Peter Hanson as your joint replacement surgeon, you are in exceptionally fine hands. I cannot recommend him to you highly enough.

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.
