I came to Dr. Eric Hohn with a torn meniscus that was blocking full extension of my left knee. This…read morewas the final outcome of an old bike injury. The tear had begun four years prior and was not diagnosed during an MRI at another doctors' office when I was living in Boston. Dr. Hohn was extremely competent in handling the diagnosis and performing my surgery. Following an MRI to confirm our suspicions that my meniscus was blocking my knee, Dr. Hohn talked me through my options and the potential outcomes of surgery. Worst case scenario: he couldn't fix it and the torn tissue would be removed. Best case scenario: the tear could be mended and I'd have better function in the future. Fortunately, Dr. Hohn was able to repair the tear! I'm 3 months out from surgery now and am feeling great. The knee feels very stable, and my only limitations are from the remaining muscle atrophy. I highly recommend Dr. Hohn. While I am not an MD, I am a PhD in biology, and I can say from my interactions with him that this doctor has a firm grasp on the most modern methods and research in orthopedic surgery. That said, his demeanor can be a bit academic and reserved, so he may be off-putting to some people (see the previous review). If you know the right questions to ask, Dr. Hohn has the knowledge and patience to help you understand your particular situation.

Unbelievably - bad service. Good luck getting them to answer the phone or call you back. My advice:…read morego somewhere else.

I have been treated by Dr Heywood twice over the past ten years. My first experience was successful…read moretreatment for a torn meniscus. The knee had been evaluated by Dr Abidi and I was told I needed a total knee replacement, this diagnosis made after a quick look at an MRI and without even once looking at the knee or discussing the treatment with me. I went to Dr Heywood seeking a second opinion and am glad I did. So when my second knee began to bother me with similar symptoms, I returned to Dr Heywood. The surgery was performed six weeks ago and the recovery has been uneventful. I have had good relations with both Dr Heywood and his PA, Chelsea, been treated respectfully and have had options and expectations explained. My only complaint has to do with the waiting time in the office which is often as long as an hour and a half. Fortunately, I have not needed many appointments.

I brought my shoulder in Dr. Reynolds, fearing a torn labrum. He breezed in, performed a physical…read moreexam that lasted less than 30 seconds, said that I definitely had tendonitis, prescribed physical therapy, and rushed out of the door in less than 5 minutes total. Wow, that was easy, and what a relief! The only fly in the ointment was that the hilariously short physical exam, and total interaction gave me a very bad feeling... and my symptoms were totally inconsistent with tendonitis. So I sought a second opinion. The second Dr. did a much longer, thorough physical exam, and explained that he thought it was a torn labrum, but that it should be definitively confirmed with an MRI. An MRI definitively confirmed that I had a torn labrum, a completely unrelated condition to tendonitis, which is treated completely differently. Is Dr. Reynolds grossly incompetent, or simply criminally negligent? I can only speculate, but that question will be answered in a court of law. If you read this, I pray that you head this warning, and do not take chances with your most precious asset in life, your health, with Dr. Reynolds.

I had an x-ray taken about 6 months before that showed my cartilage was very thin in the area. I had a steroid shot that helped for several weeks by his colleague. My pain had gotten really bad radiating to my knee and down from my hip. Dr. Christophersen said that pain in my knee and down wasn't associated with the hip which isn't true. He wanted me to get another opinion and I would have to go over the hill to the San Jose area to a doctor, I was already in so much pain, He didn't seem to care. His colleague thankfully gave me the name of an orthopedic surgeon from Golden State Medical Group in Capitola.
