Perplexed by some of the negative reviews and decided to add mine to be fair…read more I worked with Chris first on my achilles tendinitis then medial meniscus tear. Ankle has become 100% painless and functional. Currently working on knee, preparing for a half marathon in 2 weeks. Chris pays attention and listens to his patients. He then customizes exercises to help with the healing process. He pushes me just hard enough to get beneficial results without adding to the existing pain. I am miraculously ready for my half marathon thanks to Chris! I made it a point to ask for Chris after my ankle was healed but then knee started acting up. Chris is and will be my go to Physical Therapist. I am also very used to checking in with an iPad sort of situation so I am not at the very least bothered by checking in with a friendly person on a computer screen. Receptionist lady is always busy making calls to help schedule patients so I completely understand the need. She also gladly checked me in one time when the computer screen was not working. At the main clinic, I had no issue getting appointments for MRI and with Dr Talarico and Dr Sagoo, all within 48 hours. My GP Dr Lawrence told me to throw his name around. I think he's joking, isn't he?

Overall extremely disappointing experience at Golden State Orthopedics Physical Therapy. From start…read moreto finish, the administrative side of this clinic was disorganized, inefficient, and frustrating. The front desk staff member, Shellie, was consistently rude and unprofessional in her communication. Simple questions were met with attitude, and there was little effort to be helpful or respectful. For a medical office, that lack of professionalism is unacceptable. On top of that, coordination between providers, referrals, and insurance was handled poorly, leaving me stuck in the middle repeatedly and causing unnecessary stress and delays in care. Rather than taking ownership of the issues, responsibility was pushed back onto me as the patient. I expected a much higher standard of care and communication. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this clinic to anyone looking for organized, patient focused care.

My experience with Dr. Eric Stuffmann was stellar. He ran down my case verbally with me instantly…read moreand I was immediately pleased. I expected to get the blank look. He went over my x-rays and MRI with me and gave me an unhurried and thorough exam. He dictated notes into a Alexa-like device and then answered my 58 questions in great detail often referring back to the x-ray or MRI. I was there for a second opinion and didn't feel he was looking for "more work" from me nor did I feel he was agreeing with the first opinion out of rote. He was the pinnacle of professionalism and obviously extremely skilled. If you read his bio for his education and training, it's impressive and tailor made for my specific injury. All in all, this was the most positive experience I've had with a physician in decades. I reserve the right to come back and edit this review if I get charged for anything that I'm not expecting but short of that, I can't recommend Dr. Stuffmann highly enough. If there was an option for more than 5 stars, I'd easily do that.

Everything went well Dr Stuffmann and staff were perfect machine for great outcome.read more

I have been working with them for a variety of reasons for years. I have had work done by three of…read moretheir Orthos. I have worked with physicians on a dialy basis as a Pharma rep for the last 30 years. I am not in awe of Doctors just because they have MD or DO next to their names. I know how to tell the good from the bad. Trust me when I tell you that these guys are GREAT. 1) Dr. Epply has done two right shoulder jobs on me. The first to fix a botched job by another physician along with a current AC break and the second time around with him I had split the rotator cuff. Ultimately he was unsuccessful with the second repair. The damage was too great. Years upon years of overuse took its toll. I will need a new shoulder in no more than a couple of more years and I damn well plan on going back to Epply. He is a gentleman and a personable surgeon as well as a highly skilled one. 2) Dr. Honsik has done non-interventional work on my shoulder and my forearm. His work injecting my forearm tendon repair with Wharton's Jelly was outstanding. Within 6 weeks a 75/35% tear resolved itself without PT. He has a fantastic sense of humor and is open to discussing treatment options. Look... I don't need to add anything more to a 6 week resolution to a massively torn tendon. Tha speaks for itself. 3) Dr. Mann has replaced the P. Brevis in both ankles and he will be doing the right one again, six years after as it snapped again. His work was superb. It is just that I have congenital deformity that causes this. This time around as he discovered the root cause and he will be going in on this Thursday the 6th to replace that tendon and to reconfigure my heel and metatarsal so that this will never happen again. He is a quietly confident and competent surgeon who I trust completely. He is not brusque nor does he have a bad bedside manner like some people have complained about. He is a serious man (no pun intended) who does serious work and does it well. Don't go to him with vague information. He is there to do his job and if you treat this as a serious matter then you will get serious attention. To be frank, I find him personable, approachable and willing to discuss alternatives to his current methods. Just know what you are talking about. I trust him enough to let go of a particular surgical add-on that I had been considering based on his personal experience and opinion. He is the surgeon that I trust and I trust him enough to go right back to him after the previous surgeries. He is my chosen "ankle guy" and I am quite happy with him. You will be too. 4) The Staff and the PA's: They are sweet, nice and competent to a fault. My disability paperwork was handled every time with almost no challenges. This time around we had a hiccup or two but that solely due to this being filed during the Christmas holidays. When alerted that there was info the State and Met Life were waiting on, they jumped on it and got it pushed through. They are fun, funny, personable, competent and you can trust them. I have had other work done with other docs. My first shoulder was an ortho in SF who was an utter prick. I will never mention his name but I will never go back to him. I had my broken neck repaired with a four level ACDF by an Ortho at John Muir and he did a great job. I will leave him a review later as he is from another practice... as is his colleague who repaired my lumbar spine injury early last year between L4 and L5. He too is a great surgeon and I will leave him a review later... but take note... I am returning to Cal Sports and Ortho, not to John Muir after four surgeries and three non-interventional procedures with them. Why? Because they are that good. If I didn't keep breaking things then all their good work would have lasted me a lifetime. I have had more experience with Orthos than most people. I have thirty years of working with health care providers every day. Trust me when I tell you that I know the good from the ok from the downright bad. "Cal Sports Ortho", Epply, Mann and Honsik are "My Guys". You could do much worse... I'm not so sure you could do better. Trust me when I tell you that you can trust them.

I came in to get my severe runners knee checked out. I can barely walk without pain and assumed the…read moredoctor could provide some more in depth analysis & an X-ray. Dr. Mann walked into the room, asked me about my knee, and as I started to explain my history of knee issues he cut me off and snapped "So what's the current issue?!" He then moved my knee back and forth for 90 seconds and handed me a xeroxed list of physical therapy exercises and told me that it's runners knee (as I said...) I left practically in tears - this is an issue I knew I had, but wanted to get professional help. His blatant disrespect for a new client was abhorrent- there is nothing worse than having a doctor invalidate your pain. Needless to say I will not be returning to Dr. Mann and will be taking my business elsewhere.
