Dr. Ochoa is everything you want in a doctor.

His Medical Assistant, Joseph, is amazing and responds quickly to my messages. If you're searching for an orthopedic surgeon, I strongly encourage you to meet him rather than take a chance on an unproven doctor. Sadly, there are far too many stories of poor outcomes, rushed appointments and bad attitudes. Why take that chance?

I had my first visit with Dr. Sacco. He appeared to be very inattentive to anything I said, he was…read morenot expressing any concern or interest in anything I had to say. He walked in and said how old are you? Then he said what's bothering you? Then he told me what's bothering me and what my option was. He asked where was my related incision was and then he SCRIBBLED ON MY SKIN WITH AN INK PEN AND PROCEEDED TO GIVE ME A SHOT THERE! My only thought was "what a crackpot!". He then was throwing glass viles back into a drawer and threw the syringe on top of the counter and walked away. As if I were a decrepit dog going to be euthanized. No personal skills were shown to me at all. He then came back a few minutes later and said to do p.t. And come back in a month..... fat chance! He actually did ruin the rest of the day for me. Id rather find another doctor then to allow him to rape my benefits for as much as he can while providing a poor service to me. I do not recommend this person unless you find enjoyment in this type of treatment.

On my previous review on the Golden State web site i gave him 3 stars. But thinking it over my…read moreexpérience with this Dr, has been once of the worst I have ever had. His assistant was inattentive. , impolite, and unprofessional. The doctor lacks people's skills, he never greeted me by my name, he was dry and quick, made his assessment on a 2 years old MRI, and gave me 2 options, therapy or a cortisone shot. I felt treated as a number, he did not show any concerns about my symptoms or anything else. The consultation last about 10 minutes at the most. I am not planning going back to see this individual ever again.

This review is long overdue, like 24 years! I can't believe my omission. Sorry, Dr. Z!…read more I was first referred to him when my son (now 30) broke his wrist. Both the Doctor's Hospital in Richmond and his pediatrician refused to set it, calling it 'too complicated'. The pediatrician finally referred me to Dr. Zeman, who took care of it, no problem. He has all the equipment right there in his office, took the X-ray himself, and zip! we were out of there in 45 minutes with a cast, and a eventually a full recovery. His manner was so reassuring and confident, even a child in pain liked him. Then I tore some cartilage in my knee; Kaiser told me it was no big deal, to "live with it". From time to time when my knee was in just the right position, the pain would absolutely stop me in my tracks. Again, to Dr. Z... and the surgery he performed was immediately scheduled and completely took care of my problem. Next was my ailing 90 year old dad, who had back problems years in the making. A lifetime of care with Kaiser had resulted in no surgery when he was young enough to tolerate it... and no pain relief but endless pills. Dr. Z administered cortizone shots over a period of time, and made his last few years much more comfortable. Thank you so much, Dr. Z! I had learned my lesson. When one of our employees had a back problem, even tho we pay 100% for Kaiser for all of them, we send them instead to Dr. Z. Why waste your time with delay and a 'wait and see' attitude? So I am a FAN! His manner is so easygoing. His care is immediate. His office is jointly connected to an amazing physical therapy practice, and he can quickly walk through to make sure your therapy is going according to his plan. Amazing! I hope the change in our health care system doesn't cause Dr. Z an early retirement! p.s. did I mention that he was a doctor to the Raiders? Even has a super bowl ring to show (my dad was an instant fan!) So don't waste time if you are getting ANY run around from your health care provider... get yourself over to Dr. Z!

Dr. Rolnik listens, takes time with you and cares a lot about what she can do to help you improve your situation and outcome from her treatment. In my case she identified the problem with my knee, treated me on the spot and even called me personally the next day to see how I was getting along. Her approach used to be the norm decades ago but seems to have disappeared over the years. I'm so glad I found Dr. Rolnik, there is a good reason she has such great reviews. She earns them. You will be glad you found her too.

Dr Glickman performed my surgery and he helped me every step of the way. He listened to our…read moreconcerns and took time to let us ask all of the questions before the surgery. He cares about his patients. He actually referred me to another doctor to attempt to do a non-invasive procedure instead. We knew that procedure had a 50/50 chance of working. When it didn't he worked with me to schedule my surgery as soon as possible. Oh and by the way 3 days prior to my scheduled surgery we found out I also needed a second surgery for something unrelated. He was able to meet with me right away and we decided together to both surgeries at the same time. He had the OR books for the additional time and arranged it with his second surgeon as well. When I had complications after surgery he was available 24/7 to help. Truly amazing surgeon! Thank you doctor! You likely saved my life! I should also mention that my surgery was very complicated and never been seen to that level before.

He is amazing! I stopped seeing him because John Muir's billing SUCKS and I kept getting 3 year old bills. On one instance they had billed the wrong insurance (despite me giving them my insurance card) and by the time they got around to telling me it was too late for the insurance to cover it. 5 starts for the doctor, 0 stars for John Muir

I reviewed Dr. Schwartz on the UCSF Orthopedic page (Here:…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz/ucsf-orthopaedic-institute-at-mission-bay-san-francisco-2?hrid=etbb31jjyjQm6yVbSrx4oQ), but I just discovered he has his own page, so I'm adding it here. --- If you read nothing else -- I love Dr. Schwartz!! LOVE. I had a terrible experience with another doctor earlier this year (they made a massive mistake - I'll leave it at that), however, it's all good because it led me to Dr. Schwartz. (This is exactly why I love life - you get a little bad, and then a lotta good...just be patient and don't forget to look for the good!) When making my first appointment, the person at the directory wasn't too confidence inspiring. I got a lot of "uh..." and "umm..." before he said, "he's barely ever here....it's gonna be awhile...." Oh, boy. So I get bad news AND the dude who can help me isn't available? Great. I ended up landing an appointment within a couple weeks from that call, and I've seen Dr. Schwartz several times since then. I honestly don't even know where to start with him. He blows away every stereotype and bad experience I've ever had with doctors or the medical profession in general. Dr. Schwartz listens, is caring, is never dismissive, thoughtfully answers EVERY SINGLE QUESTION (including all the ones I start with, "So, I know I shouldn't but...I googled......."), is funny, unbelievably accomplished, methodical and thorough, knowledgeable, kind - should I go on? While his original assistant has since left, his new one (Mazie) is just as lovely, and all the nurses are great, too. My one nitpick is the wait times. I book early in the morning and still haven't been seen in under 45 minutes. That's rough when you work 9-5ish. That said, Dr. Schwartz never rushes the appointment, and for that I'm grateful. Expect to spend a couple hours here, and know that it will be well worth your time. I couldn't be happier to have found him, even if the road *to* him was less than great. PS I dare you to find a more accomplished doctor (just google him!). Anyone else his age would be sipping margaritas on an island somewhere, yet he's still going 200MPH and is in the process of writing a textbook for medical students, on top of everything. He's unstoppable.
