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.

4 star doctor; not so for the staff I dealt with…read more Dr. Pecci was great! Very professional, listened well, answered our questions, explained thoroughly, and didn't keep us waiting long. The folks we were handed off to, however... ugh :( One girl took him up to take Xrays, and advised me to stay behind. She didn't ask me; she told me! I should have insisted otherwise, but I think my shock overroad my instinct. He said it went fine once he came back. We waited for a little while, then... The next woman came in, and was SUPPOSED to train him on how to alleviate his pain & avoid further strain. Well she didn't! Someone should have asked me if I wanted to pay for a piece of paper-- I would have declined!!! Perhaps impolitely. Basically, don't allow this office to provide "self-care management training" ... the woman LITERALLY printed out ONE page from the internet illustrating some stretches, and told my son to do a few that he liked once or twice a day. Then I was billed $71 for that "training" / sheet of paper, haha, seriously?? I could have gone online myself!! We also didn't have a therapy exercise session, at least not that we noticed... unless having the doctor evaluate his knee by bending it while asking about pain levels qualifies... this incurred a $65 charge. I don't get it!! I'm sure they know what my insurance will & will not cover, in which case, they should ask if I personally accept the services & associated charges.

Doctor Matthew Pecci was referred to me through John Muir Health. Mister Pecci is a Sports Medicine…read morePhysician ... but he's more than just that. He's well educated in his profession, and takes whatever time is needed in delivering the right assessment.

Im not going to dive into how important it is in finding a savvy doctor who knows how to treat and manage a condition like this ... so I'll just lay down a full star review based on my experience. Doctor Matthew Pecci is good find if you're sifting through reviews in search of someone like him. I've been through quite a few doctors. From my perspective, he's not just a good find ... he's a rare one. Good luck in your search ,;0)

My husband had a very disappointing experience at this office…read more It was extremely difficult to reach anyone to schedule the appointment -- I had to leave multiple voicemails before getting a response. When he arrived, even basic amenities like water were not available. During the PRP procedure, Dr. Benjamin attempted multiple times to draw blood from his left arm but could not find a vein, which was uncomfortable. Blood was eventually taken from the other arm. The injection itself was done with such strong pressure that my husband nearly blacked out from the pain. Most concerning, the doctor did not clearly explain what he was doing or what to expect during the procedure. For comparison, my husband had the same tennis elbow issue a few years ago and saw a different doctor. That experience was completely different -- the doctor was caring, explained everything thoroughly, and the procedure was performed with minimal discomfort. Since this visit, my husband has been in significant pain. I have called the office multiple times seeking guidance, but no one has returned my calls. Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable trusting this doctor even with something as simple as changing a tire on my car.

I met with Dr. Honsik due to having chronic shoulder problems. I didn't know what to expect because…read morethis was the first time I met with a sports medicine physician. However, his assistants were friendly and warm and he was as well. I think he spent a thorough job evaluating my shoulder concerns and assessing the issues I brought forth to him. It was also interesting to have a diagnostic ultrasound on my shoulder to see what was really going on in there. I felt relieved to finally have some answers to what was happening with my wonky shoulders and he did a great job of answering all of my questions and concerns. I'm not sure if he does that with every visit, but for my visit it felt relevant. I also really like how he had an assistant documenting everything in the session - I felt like this made him more present and attentive. I've been to other medical appointments where the NP or MD has to document while assessing you and I feel like they end up only being partly attuned to what is going on with you. So this was a nice touch. I honestly don't want to be back (because that would mean that I would have another injury lol) but if that were to happen again, I most definitely would return to see Dr. Honsik. FYI, he also is a swimmer and he gave me some good tips on technique so that I don't exacerbate my shoulder issue. Overall, I am SO satisfied with this visit!
