Very pleasant and patient Dr...a rarity for these times! I would recommend him if you are seeking assistance.

Haimson is a pro. Very centered. Great listener - clearly knows his way around a knee! I was super impressed and hope I never have to see him again but if I do I have supreme confidence in his skill and caring. read more

If you're looking for an exceptional surgeon, go to Dr. Robert B Haimson! I injured my knee during a ski accident 8 months ago. I wanted to go back to my normal active lifestyle of tennis and skiing. I wasn't sure what to expect. I went to my first appointment to meet Dr. Haimson and I immediately knew I was in good hands. He is not only personable, he is the kind of surgeon you want if you want to go back to playing sports or doing what you love without pain. His PA, Paul Viscogliosi is amazing too. You will not be disappointed if you choose this doctor and the team that works with him. I hope to see you on the slopes some day Robert ;) read more

Dr. Haimson went above and beyond for me scheduling my surgery. I saw him on a Wednesday and I was having an arthroscopic knee surgery on that Friday morning. He took the time to explain my procedure to me and my husband. On the day of surgery, he met with me before and after the surgery to explain everything to me. I am a new patient of his and I felt completely comfortable with him doing my surgery. The hospital staff at Sutter also get a 5 star. Elle prepped me for my surgery and met with me after surgery. Thanks again Dr. Haimson and the staff at Sutter hospital for handing my knee surgery. read more

Recently had a carpal tunnel release. I'm 4 weeks out and so glad I had the surgery and am so glad Dr Haimson did it. He and his staff are attentive and professional. All my questions have been heard and my experience was great. read more

If you need an orthopedic surgeon, Dr Haimson is your guy! Very skilled and excellent bedside manor. I am so thankful that my regular Doctor recommended me to see Dr Haimson. In fact Dr Haimson did my Doctors knee surgery as well. You can't get a better recommendation than that! His office staff are very pleasant and efficient as well. read more

I have known for years that I need a knee replacement. I have put it off for years because I was not pleased with the Dr. whom I had seen prior from another medical group not affiliated with Sutter. Hence I put it off and suffered greatly. Understandably, I was rather uneasy. Dr. Haimson was exceptional! He is a highly skilled Surgeon. He immediately ordered my tests in the same office and was able to see me right after. Dr. Haimson explained to me what my options are and his recommendations. He has a calming, assuring way about him. Dr. Haimson made my visit stress free and so easy that I would have been willing to schedule my surgery right then and there. Dr. Haimson's entire staff are also exceptional people. I was greeted by a front desk of very friendly people. They realized I was nervous and assured me that I was in good hands. Herb is Dr. Haimson's Medical Assistant. He was able to answer my questions as he is very knowledgeable. He, too is a very kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. You can't help but feel comfortable with such a wonderful team of professionals. Do yourself a favor and don't put yourself through years of pain. I recommend Dr. Haimson highly and his amazing staff! read more

I'm inspired by these reviews to add my two cents. Love the friendly receptionists. Love Herb and Yuli, and love Dr. Haimson. Many surgeons lack social skill and compassion. Dr. Haimson is the exception! He carefully explains everything and takes care to tap into my own thoughts and fears. read more

Headed into knee surgery to repair a dual torn meniscus I had questions and reservations. I really appreciated the time and effort Dr. Haimson spent answering all my questions. I felt I now better understood what the operation would entail and what the post op period would entail. The operation went better than expected and the usual post op physical therapy sessions were not required. Dr. Haimson suggested slowly easing back into my normal routine. It has been a month and my knee is as good as ever. I'm not sure what more I can add to the care and personal attention I received from Dr. Haimson and the entire Sutter staff. Thank you! read more

Doctor Haimson is extremely personable and knowledgeable, and an excellent surgeon. He performed root knee surgery on me. Every time I went in he was never rushed and always spent the time making sure all of my questions were answered. The office staff is very friendly and I never had to wait more than 15 minutes for my appointment. I would recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care. read more

What an amazing surgeon. He is the best. Very detailed and great bedside manner. He did my knee surgery and I cannot complain about anything. His staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

Beyond excellent! Was recommended to Dr. Haimson from my MD's office for a knee injury. The scheduling couldn't have been easier, same day I called, they squeezed me in. Wait time in waiting room was under 10 minutes. The office staff are excellent and very accommodating, give them all 5 Stars too! Dr. Haimson scheduled my meniscus surgery right away, but not before he gave me all the options, explained everything in detail, actually a couple of times because I had so many questions! He treated me with respect and compassion which is exactly what I needed. Before surgery, he came in and made sure I fully understood what he was going to do, explained everything, including what to expect after. His optimistic attitude completely put me at ease. He treats you like you actually matter to him, and that you're NOT just another patient. I felt extremely confident in his ability! Surgery went great, leaving this review the day after, but I'm sure all follow up care will be just as excellent as the care I've received so far. I highly recommend Dr Haimson and although I hope I don't have to see him again for another injury, he would be the doctor to call. read more

Dr. Haimson is above awesome! Unfortunately both myself (broken radial head) and my husband (severe broken ankle) have had to visit an orthopedic surgeon. My husband had surgery to repair his broken ankle and Dr. Haimson was above and beyond our expectations. Not only did he make time right away for an appointment, performed needed surgery next day, and has been in close contact answering all of our questions, getting necessary meds as soon as needed, and even contacting us on weekends to check in. If you ever find yourself needing an orthopedic surgeon, I would definitely consult him ASAP, you will not be disappointed in your care from him! read more

Dr. Haimson and office staff are great! Not to mention the imaging department located in the same building. My son had surgery recently and is now recovering thanks to these amazing people. Everyone explained everything to the point that we didn't even have questions. I am so impressed with the service he has had to this point. Everything went smoothly from day one and there was absolutely no delay in receiving the care he needed. The hospital is amazing too! I cannot express enough how fortunate my son has been with his overall patient care. Dr. Haimson is awesome and he did an amazing job with the surgery!!!! read more

Super work. More than satisfied customer here. Dr. Haimson is that mix of professionalism and sincerity and friendliness that you hope to find when you need someone in this field. I had a rotator cuff repaired, and he was great about everything from the diagnosis through the procedure. He never tried to pitch me on anything, just gave me all the info to evaluate, was really patient with all my dumb questions, and after I decided to go ahead with the surgery, I knew I was in the right hands. I would extend this review to Herb and Tori and the whole team. Everyone I talked to made me feel like it was personal for them. I had some complicated issues going in, but the results were even better than I had hoped for. read more

Had my new patient appointment with Dr. Haimson today. The front desk was friendly, fast and made me feel less nervous about being in a new office. His medical assistant was friendly, kind and super easy going. Dr. Haimson was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He reviewed my X-ray with me and confirmed that I will have to most likely have a corrective surgery. He talked to me in language that I clearly could understand. He explained my next steps clearly. I didnt feel rushed or treated like just another patient. His bedside manor is amazing and kind. I have always had a very great experience with Sutter and this too was a 5 Star experience. I look forward to working with Dr Haimson thru the next steps to correct my hip pain. read more

I have been with Dr. Haimson for awhile now and he has done an awesome job of caring for me so I was comfortable having him perform shoulder surgery after an MRI confirmed bone spurs and a torn a tendon. He explained everything carefully and the procedure went very well! From the warmth of his front office staff greeting and remembering you to the PAs professional manner, The experience is always good. When my wife recently needed help with her rotator cuff injury, I suggested Dr. H ... read more

I started seeing Dr. Haimson in early February with a completely torn ACL and both meniscus torn all In my right knee. I was apprehensive after having seen another orthopedic surgeon prior for this injury and having a bad experience and not getting the help I needed. My first appointment with Dr. Haimson I knew I was at the right place. He listens and answers your questions and then some. You don't feel rushed or like he is trying to get through your appointment quickly to get onto the next person. Dr. Haimson is extremely knowledgeable, competent and is just a great doctor who really cares. Last month Dr Haimson reconstructed my ACL using my patellar tendon and trimmed one of my meniscus as the other one had healed itself by then. Dr Haimson doesn't stop there. His followup care is just as attentive and you just know he is there for you. He is on top of it, answers emails quickly and went above and beyond with helping me get a medication that my insurance was trying to deny me. I would recommend Dr Haimson to anybody needing a great Orthopedic doctor! read more

I started seeing Dr. Haimson on May 6th after breaking my shoulder. From my very first visit with him I had the feeling that Dr. Haimson was not only a very qualified doctor but also an extremely compassionate.doctor. He reviewed my X-rays with me and my husband, explained my options and prepared us for what we should expect in coming weeks in regards to treatment and recovery. I have seen him 5 times in six weeks and he has been consistent in the time he takes to explain my X-rays, improvement, what to expect in the coming weeks and answering my questions. He has answered my concerns in a positive yet realistic manner. He also has a wonderful MA, Herb York. He is pleasant, personable and generally concerned for your care. He stays on top of the schedule and always apologizes if he thinks I've had to wait. Generally, I've been fortunate because it seems he has got me into my appointment before my actual appointment time. I also want to comment on the radiology techs. I have had five sets of X-rays and have felt that the techs have been consistently gentle, kind and efficient. They always introduce themselves when they take me to X-ray and once in, they introduce me to the other techs as well. One tech stands out above all, Yvette. She has been there with me at every visit. She always has a smile that is reassuring and she remembers me. Despite the circumstances that got me into the office, I have to say that this has been a positive experience. I don't think I could be getting better care with anyone else. read more

Awesome doctor! I went to him for a problem with one of my knees; I had been limping for months and an MRI showed a torn meniscus. He scheduled arthroscopic surgery for me the following week. The surgery was so easy. It was minimally invasive and I was in and out of the hospital in a couple of hours. Turned out I also had torn cartilage and arthritis, and he "cleaned up" all 3 of my issues. I had no side effects from the anesthesia - seemed pretty mild. He told me I could walk on the knee right away, and would not need either crutches or physical therapy. He prescribed pain medication and said I probably wouldn't need it, and I didn't. 6 days after surgery I felt so good I got back on the elliptical machine (despite his orders) and it was no problem. All of this must be due to his skill as a surgeon. He's been great with the follow up care as well. Terrific bedside manner and I never wait more than 5 minutes when I go to his office. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Haimson and his medical team were amazing! They made my wife and I feel so comfortable from the moment we stepped into their offices. Dr. Haimson provided all the information necessary and allowed us the space to decide the path that was right for us. This is a very important part of my experience. I am very grateful for Dr. Haimson and his staff , they did an excellent job throughout the surgery and the follow ups have gone just as well. read more
