Dr. Peters and the staff at Arthritis Assoc. of Redding are tops. I have never met a more thorough…read moredoctor than Dr. Peters. I have seen many doctors in my life, and have not run across a Doctor like Dr. Peters, he is not afraid to run test after test, and is a very good detective. I feel like he truly cares about me and his staff is also very caring. I love the fact that they have their own lab onsite, so any labs are drawn onsite and processed by him and his staff. He is one of the few doctors that allows his patient to go online and look up their labs, visit notes, meds, etc. I know that Kaiser does this, but no one else in the Redding area even comes close to this level of transparency and openness. I have seen docs at UCSF and Stanford for other issues and would put Dr. Peters in the same category as the University Doctors.

Dr Peters and his staff are fantastic. I drive almost three hours so I can be seen by him. He is…read morea very caring doctor. I would recommend him and his staff to any one who needs a arthritis specialist.

I received a partial hip replacement several years ago from Dr. Ferraro. He ordered no pt for me…read moreso I had to heal all on my own. it was five years of complete and total misery and I can't walk to this day. Dr. Ferraro is a hand specialist and had no business performing a partial hip replacement on me. None whatsoever. This doctor butchered my hip! it has never felt right. To this day I'm in pain from my hip. Thanks for nothing you incompetent idiot!

I was a patient many many years ago at Shasta Orthopaedics, and had the worst care anyone could ask…read morefor. First of all, I was in his office for a broken arm, and the word Carpal Tunnel was never mentioned in the appointment I had to go over my surgery with both Dr. Ferraro & Dr. Schillen, but Dr. Ferraro thought I said my hand hurt, so he dictated 20 minutes later, that I needed Carpel Tunnel Surgery, of which he slipped in while doing my other surgery. He refunded my insurance company, but refused to tell them why!!! Dr. Ferraro must have a long conveyor belt and thinks all of his patients need Carpel Tunnel Surgery. Or maybe that is all he knows how to do. Dr. Ferraro's ability to figure out what may be wrong with his patients is impossible. It took at least 9 months of PT, casts up to my armpit for 4 months, a bone stimulator for 70 days, surgery on my other arm, due to over use because my other arm was in a cast for so long. I had to go to San Francisco to find out that when my arm was broken, my Ulna was shoved up into my wrist. And because Dr. Ferraro's office had me use a bone stimulator for 70 days, my bone filled in, so basically the Ulna in my wrist was too long, and there was no way I could bend my wrist over. Am I the first person that has ever had a broken arm that did this? The "Hand Specialist" as he is known as in Redding, never even figured that out. It took my new Dr. in San Francisco 10 minutes of looking at Dr. Ferraro's x-rays to know what was wrong. I had to have my Ulna shortened, which meant sawing my Ulna and my nerve in half, putting in a plate with 7 screws, to hold my bone in place that was pulled out of my wrist. Quite an ordeal, but the care I was given in San Francisco was above board, and they knew what they were doing. Dr. Ferraro caused me years and years of problems, and I would never step foot in that office again!!!!! And now, his office has done it again!!!! I have a friend that is really messed up and he has not been the Dr. he should be, and it's obvious, he should be doing something else, or maybe just stick to Carpal Tunnel Surgery. Not to mention his inefficient MA. What a joke! I can't believe that almost 20 years after my ordeal with Dr. Ferraro, that he's still unable to diagnose anything different or out of the ordinary. And you'd think that maybe 'HE' would want to consult with another Orthopaedic Dr. Wow, what a concept! He is so arrogant that he probably thinks he knows it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update on my previous review. After trying to work with the staff and my insurance company, I was…read morenot successful in resolving the issue. The doctor's response was to deny my co-pay refund, slap on a "chronic care" fee and put not just one late fee but two for their offices lack of cooperation with my insurance company. The doctor's sent a letter to me threatening to turn me into my professional board because they think I used non-public resources to send them a letter requesting my refund to their home. All you have to do is google "Home address for each doctor" and their address comes up. Fascinating that $70 was more important than a happy patient and that their intire process, staff and they are the problem. I really thought it was the gate keepers, but it is the doctor's. This is how they make their money. Causing undo stress so they can create the "chronic care" fee. Do not go here if you want to get better. The patient does not come first in this establishment and they care more about money than anything else. Off to small claims court to not only get my $70 bucks back but now the late fees.

I cannot even tell I had an injury. I walk up to 18k steps per day at times, with a daily average of between 9k to 11k depending on our projects. I'm 67 and still cruising like I'm 40. Thank you Dr Schillen and your entire staff, the entire staff in Physical Therapy led by Mr. Martin no acquaintance, I also would like to recognize the PA beautiful lady that saw me to start with when i first went to the office at Shasta Orthopedics and couldn't walk. She went running down the hall to catch the doctor as she knew he was going to be out for a week, she knew I needed emergency surgery when she viewed the MRI, sorry, I do not remember her name. she was key to my needs. Robert Martin.

Dr. Schillen is a top notch surgeon. I am having my second knee surgery in less than 9 months. He…read morehas taken such good care of me and has made sure everything got done in a timely manner. He is good at communicating all of the options available to you and is really good at dumbing them down to help you understand exactly what would be taking place and what impact that would have. He is courteous and will give his advice but seems to be very conscious of when you want to hear it and when to withhold it. I wouldn't want anyone else operating on me. I had multiple friends come to him for other surgeries and they also had nothing but the best things to say about him. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Schillen especially if you are an athlete. 17/17 on the snasty scale
