5 STARS Patients service 5 stars in communication 5 starts in explaining my mom concern. Receptionists 5 Stars super fast. My mom has a knee problem , Dr requested x-rays ,after 20 min or less he was back with results. He explain with details to my moms concern. I also noticed another thing about Dr. Robert Afra he records everything for his records, WOW, a mind never remembers especially with so many patients, but I believe a voice recorded, and a pencil does, Excellent. He explain to my mom what she should do to minimized the pain and request to see her back in couple of weeks to make sure she is doing much better. Excellent Doctor. Yes,Yes. I HIGHLY recomend Dr. Robert Afra

Afra was still willing to review my case, listen and treat me with surgery possibly not being an option at all.

They all made a very scary situation much easier. This was my second exact surgery and Dr. Samagh was kind and caring, and has such great bedside manner, something lacking in todays doctors. My surgery was so much easier than my first surgery two years ago, and my healing has been smoother with the help of both Garrett and Kristi's help. I would not hesitate ever turning to this group if you ever need surgery. They are at the top of game, and have new and innovative ways to get results that others don't. They specialize in areas where others really don't know what they are doing. Trust these people.

Dr. Samagh performed a hip operation on me about 6 months ago. Days before the originally scheduled date, my insurance provider denied coverage. His team went to work with advocating on my behalf, and we were back on the books in a week. The surgery and after care have been outstanding. Very clear directions and expectations on my rehab. Every t crossed, and i dotted along the way. I was cleared to get back to regular activity as of yesterday. As Dr. Samagh said during the visit, "go enjoy life." His practice will allow me and many others to do just that. I highly recommend them.

As a former dental specialist in private practice and now as his patient, I consider Dr. Skyhar the…read moredefinitive choice for orthopedic care. My background allows me to appreciate the high level of clinical precision he brings to his work. He was remarkably meticulous in identifying the source of my shoulder pain and limited mobility, delivering a diagnosis that was both accurate and actionable. Furthermore, he excels at communication, explaining complex medical alternatives in clear, layman's terms. I was also particularly impressed by his technique; I experienced zero discomfort during the administration of a cortisone injection. What truly elevates my confidence in Dr. Skyhar is his distinguished history of medical leadership. Having served as Chief of Staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, he was responsible for leading the medical staff and serving as the primary liaison for clinical excellence. His tenure in this executive role focused on: Elevating Patient Safety: Overseeing hospital-wide protocols to ensure care met the highest safety benchmarks. Defining Surgical Quality Standards: Setting the agenda for surgical best practices and ensuring staff adhered to rigorous quality metrics. Clinical Governance: Leading the Medical Executive Committee to maintain the hospital's status as a regional center of excellence. Dr. Skyhar's commitment to these high-level standards--further evidenced by his past roles as Chief of the Department of Surgery and Physician Leader for the Scripps 'System of Excellence'--translates directly to the high-quality treatment he provides in private practice. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an orthopedic leader who masters both the science of surgery and the art of patient care.

As a PT, he has always been one of my top referrals for orthopedic consultation and surgery. I have always respected the time he spends with his patients, results from surgery as well as his bedside manner with patients. Recently, I had my own orthopedic issues that resulted in having surgery on my knee. From start to finish, Dr Loren was terrific! He took time with me and explained his concerns. He respected me and my input about my knee. I know, from prior patients I have treated over the years and from my recent personal experience, that he takes his time and considers every surgery he does to be significant and that he approaches surgery with the utmost precaution and precision. I appreciate that very much! I also appreciated his call the night after surgery to check on me and to share what he found. My recovery was quick and I experienced minimal pain. I am back to the things I enjoy without the fear of my knee getting stuck or giving way. Dr Loren has always been a top orthopedic referral for me. After having him complete my surgery, I can confidently say that my personal experience strengthens my recommendation for his orthopedic care and surgery. Thank you Dr. Loren for your kindness, excellent care and a great surgical result! Betty Parmenter

Dr. Edmund Evangelista is truly an exceptional physician, and I cannot recommend him highly enough…read more He treated me for about eight years at Community Orthopedics in Mission Viejo immediately after my injury, and during that time he consistently provided thoughtful, compassionate, and expert care. When he moved to San Diego, I had to transition to another doctor, and unfortunately my back progressively worsened over time. Eventually, I felt completely out of options and decided to book an appointment to see Dr. Evangelista again--driving down to San Diego specifically to see him at San Diego Orthobiologics Medical Group. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. He immediately identified a significant change on my recent MRI compared to my previous imaging--something that could clearly explain my rapidly increasing pain. His attention to detail and clinical insight were impressive, but what truly sets him apart is his integrity and honesty. Instead of recommending a procedure at his own practice, he referred me to his former colleague who specializes in the treatment that would be most beneficial for me right now, even though he could not perform it himself. That level of selflessness and patient-first care is incredibly rare in medicine. The facility itself is excellent--very clean, modern, and welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and professional, and you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you walk in. I also truly believe in what they are doing there; they are clearly focused on the most up-to-date procedures and technology, and it shows in how knowledgeable and forward-thinking the team is. I will absolutely be back there in the future, but I am genuinely grateful that Dr. Evangelista sent me to the right place for my immediate needs at the time. That speaks volumes about his character and commitment to doing what is best for his patients. Dr. Evangelista truly takes the time to think through each patient's situation, explain options, and guide you through difficult decisions with empathy and clarity. I trust him 100%, and I am so grateful to have him as part of my care team again. If you are dealing with spine or orthopedic issues and want a doctor who is brilliant, ethical, and truly cares about his patients, Dr. Evangelista is the one to see.

He answered all the questions I had clearly and so that "the common person" can understand. We then agreed on an approach to the entire healing process. I am now about 10 weeks out from the injury and can say his recommended approach was right on point where I am now already back to gentle swimming and generally walking about, with my other desired activities not far off. During this time, he made sure I was in PT as soon as possible and was always available for questions and counsel. I have nothing but thanks toward him and his supporting team. Of course I hope I don't have to see him again for this same thing, but if I needed to, I would reach out to him immediately and with great confidence.

Have treated my daughter and myself for multiple injuries. Office staff and communication amongst the worst I have ever seen. No pride or care shown at the office can't get anyway to properly fax a darn thing and Christine Gonzales PA showed no desire to educate or guide my daughter or explain the injuries or MRI. When questions asked very cold and short. Owners of the practice need to work on her bedside manner. If I ran this office I would reset values expectations and listen to the patient who pays the bills. Do yourself a favor find a practice that shows pride and care and thoroughness with there patients.
