    So appreciate the wisdom, knowledge, professionalism, and skill of Dr. Smith. Her staff is…read moreprofessional and focused and Dr. Smith knew exactly what to do. Injured my knee in February in three spots. Mri showed all the details which I got to see. We tried a conservative approach first with rest and PT. Two spots recovered. The meniscus needed repair. Dr Smith was thorough, direct but never pushy. Totally my choice on what options to take. She estimated an 80% restoral of previous ability. Even day one I could feel more strength and stability. On Day four and off all pain meds.

    I DEEPLY regret having a partial menisectomy that Dr. Renee Smith recommended and several times…read more(including when I complained in follow-up appointments that it was worse post surgery) that it "should have been a life upgrade". Well it's been almost 3 years and my knee is way worse than it was before the surgery. I deeply, deeply regret letting Dr. Renee Smith talk me into having the surgery. It was a horrible idea and it actually has completely ruined my body. I have had subsequent other injuries because of the continued inflammation and instability of the knee that was pretty much okay before but had just bothered me a little bit off and on for a long time and she gave me the impression that this would help me. In fact she even said when I complained afterwards that it seemed worse that she figured "It was worth it if there was an 85% Improvement in my quality of life". There has FOR SURE been an 85% DECREASE in my quality of life since the surgery. I am enormously regretful. It did permanent damage to my body and has caused other injuries. HORRIBLE. I've actually talked to a lot of people who rub their fingers together and say yeah it's very lucrative for them to suggest the surgery it's quick and easy for them but it's thousands of dollars in their pocket and have talked to a bunch of people who have had the same surgery and regret it and say they are worse off now. This is a horrible disservice to do to people and I'm hearing this story again and again. Oh, and I've been told by other more competent doctors after she slaughtered me that you are 60% more likely to have arthritis in a knee after having even an arthroscopic surgery. I can tell it's already happening and I'm not that old. She is lucky that I am not litigious because I probably have a viable claim to a medical malpractice lawsuit case.

    When I sustained a bad knee injury, Urgent Care told me it was broken but that I should see an…read moreorthopedist to determine whether it would need surgery. I got a recommendation from my PT to see Dr. Yau, and when I called for an initial appointment, they were able to squeeze me in immediately to check me out! After examining me and my x-rays, Dr. Yau determined that my knee wasn't broken after all, and recommended that I follow a PT regimen in order to speed recovery and minimize atrophy and loss of mobility/flexibility. Thanks to his diagnosis and advice, I got back to 100% and am now back to distance running and my regular workouts with no trace of pain or weakness. Dr. Yau was kind, knowledgeable, and you could tell he wants the best outcome for his patients. I always saw athletes in the waiting room, which is just another indicator that this is the place to go if you are active and want to have the best results.

    It has been almost 2 years since i broke my fibula and became a patient here. I was a triathlete…read moreand equestrian and never slowed down after an injury happened and healed. But the lack of care i received here basically crippled me. I first saw Dr Yau (who didnt even look at my xray and just read the interpretation from Radiologist) then I saw Dr Thomas who left on maternity leave shortly after telling me to give it more time. Both dr's were NICE but didnt successfully treat my injury.I kept returning to tell them it still hurts and i am not healing/walking right and they kept telling me not to worry and let the broken bone naturally heal and keep walking on it in walking boot. Forget about running again. I am still in pain walking almost 2 yrs later. I went to another dr who said this injury needed surgery at the time. I am so depressed about how much this has affected my life and lifestyle.
