Dr. Robert Eppley is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. I had a severe tear of the supraspinatus…read moretendon and had rotator cuff surgery in my predominant right shoulder 4 years ago. The surgery center was efficient in scheduling and the results from the surgery today are excellent. He even provided me with 4 short videos of my surgery during the procedure where he commented on his findings. Earlier this year when I started having similar problems in my left shoulder I revisited him after an MRI and sure enough I had a similar tear; must have been those years of racing sailboats on the San Francisco Bay and some bad genetics. Anyway 6 weeks ago I had a similar surgery on my left rotator cuff, and all is going well with the recovery. Now it's up to me to do the PT required to get the arm fully functional again. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Eppley, an excellent surgeon who is also extremely personable, shares photos of his lovely dog and his recent vacations. While it's true that now he's under Sutter Health he's more difficult to get ahold of, he's worth the frustration and once you visit his office you can email them much more easily.

But in this case, I was given an appt a month ago and I grabbed the only slot that was available. Weeks later, his office called and said he is limiting new patients. Why did they set up an appointment in the first place? The appt was in 3 weeks. Now, I must find another doctor, and the wait will also be quite long. This is a lousy way to treat potential patients, but more important, it's a lousy way to treat people who are in pain. Make the appt or don't, but don't back out at the last minute.

I highly recommend them for PT and would definitely work with them again (though hopefully I'll be healthy enough that I never have to!). What stood out to me was the level of expertise, professionalism, and kindness I received from everyone I worked with, from the physical therapists and assistants to the front desk staff. Dr. Medina's calm demeanor was a balm for my jangled nerves when I first showed up--and she helped me through many months of recovery after foot surgery. I also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Diehl, who always patiently answered my many questions, cheered me on, and made me feel relaxed with his easy bedside manner and sense of humor. I even got to work with Dr. Gee a few times when he covered for folks who were out, which was fantastic because I got a fresh perspective on my issues. The PT assistants Claire, Kyle, and Amara were super helpful and friendly. And, of course, Nina was the delightful "face" of the business when I came through the door and opened my email, no matter how many schedule changes I needed to make. When we come in as patients, I know it can make us feel vulnerable, maybe even a tiny bit broken (I recall Dr. Diehl replying to that sentiment by saying I was just slightly and temporarily bent, not broken :) ). Despite that feeling, or even because of that, I encourage folks to show up open to the experience. For me, the more I was willing to connect with the good people at G-Sports, the more I got out of it. Thank you for helping me unbend all my bent parts, G-Sports! And good luck with your PT, everyone! :)

His courteous and friendly staff actually answered the phone! and I managed to get an appointment the very next day. Amazing to me, he called in the evening hours of that first contact, before seeing me, after having seen x-rays and a brief history of the accident. He asked questions about my activity level, and explained what he'd assessed from having reviewed the films. Next morning, after taking more views specific to my injury so we could see how the fracture fragments had migrated into the joint space, I was eager to have him fix the damage not mentioned (or perhaps not seen) by the first flippant corporate MD. He even showed me a model of the plate that would hold everything back in place! Because of the time that had already passed since the accident, he and his staff created space for me to get into surgery that very same afternoon. Less than three weeks later, I have regained almost full range of motion and continue to be impressed by the thoroughly professional, kind and patient care provided by Dr. Cardon and his staff, who've guided me safely through all aspects of the healing process.

A follow up appointment was scheduled in case this problem persist. All the staff were friendly, informative, knowledgeable and knew exactly what was needed.

I'd been having chronic wrist pain (tendonitis/carpal tunnel) and not making any progress on my recovery, while seeing another doc. After one visit with Dr Chang, she was able to properly diagnose my issue after a comprehensive exam and some mobility tests, talked to me about proper ergonomics & physical exercise, and give me a referral for the best PT for my condition. Her diagnosis made so much sense, and pinpointed an issue that my other doctor hadn't taken the time to explore. If you're in pain, see her immediately!

I cannot say enough good things about LaFoot in Berkeley…read more My brother manages a grocery store and is on his feet all day. Recently he started having significant foot pain. As a nurse who has dealt with bone spurs and plantar fasciitis myself, I immediately told him he needed to address it -- both by resting and by investing in proper shoes. I've been trying to convince him to upgrade his footwear for years! I found LaFoot while scrolling Yelp. The name caught my attention, and when I read that it's owned by a physical therapist and staffed with students/residents in orthopedics and foot care, I knew this wasn't just a regular shoe store -- this was going to be different. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. Parking was easy (even on a busy day), and we were greeted by a tall, slender young man with glasses who introduced himself as a kinesiologist (I'm so sorry I didn't catch his name!). He was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had my brother remove his shoes and socks, observed his gait by having him walk up and down the hallway, and even demonstrated how my brother's current shoes were too flexible by twisting them. Then he brought out a Brooks shoe and showed us the difference in structure -- it barely twisted at all. He explained why that stability matters. They measured his feet the old-school way with a sizing device to ensure a precise fit. They also noticed that my brother's feet turn slightly inward when he walks, which likely contributed to his pain. What I really appreciated was how they used a skeletal foot model with bands to visually demonstrate what was happening. For visual learners, this was incredibly helpful and made everything make sense. When my brother tried on the recommended shoes, he immediately said, "Oh my God, these make such a huge difference." That alone told me we were in the right place. The exact color he wanted wasn't in stock, but they ordered it and had it shipped to his home within a few days -- seamless process. Yes, the shoes were $154. But when you consider the amount of time he spends standing and walking, and the importance of preventing long-term foot issues, that is absolutely worth it. Your health and comfort are not the place to cut corners. The professionalism, the education, the attention to detail, and the way they truly listened -- both to my brother and to me -- really stood out. This isn't just a shoe store; it's an experience rooted in understanding foot health. We left feeling confident, informed, and genuinely impressed. Highly recommend.

I rarely rate a small business one star, but my visit to La Foot was a dismal disaster. I was…read morelooking for a shoe with good arch support and my acupuncturist recommended LaFoot. The salesman first had me walk the length of the store so he could look at my gait. Based on that he produced an athletic shoe that was heavy and said I needed a shoe that couldn't be twisted. The salesman said I could try them out at home and if they didn't work, I had 2 weeks to return them. The shoes turned out to be too heavy and tight for me. I wore them at home for about 4 hours but decided they were too heavy and uncomfortable. I returned them 3 days later. The salesman said there were marks on the shoes from the 4 hours I wore them within my house and as a result, he could refund only 70% of the $150 price. He never offered an alternate pair to try. In fact, he didn't appear interested in helping me at all. I wondered how LaFoot stays in business with such poor service and limited selection. There is no way I can recommend this store.

I have seen Dr. Zwahlen a few times now for various issues with back, butt muscles and recently a…read moreshoulder injury. I have had a lot of broken bones and surgeries and hospital stays and orthopedic surgeons who have patched me up in the past to go on to do more stupid stuff. Luckily Dr. Zwahlen is here to help. Because of my awesome partner and I want to be around a little longer I have stopped doing stupid stuff like flying my experimental airplane, stopped rock climbing (and falling), stopped intense snow skiing/boarding (no moe flips), and stopped other activities from which I have some how miraculously survived (I may have more lives than a cat). Given that, I can still do stupid things in the gym. Recently trying to hang for a minute, yes all 60 seconds, I realized something was wrong and dropped at around the 45 second mark. I kept thinking it would get better and it didn't and was starting to think major jacked up rotator cuff and maybe surgery, again. Well after some imaging the good doctor determined "nothing was torn but very, very angry". So going forward, for awhile, no exercises engaging the shoulder except a few very detailed lifts. A lot of surgeons like to cut, that's what they do. So I appreciate it when the knife is not the first response and second when lots of drugs aren't the answer. Hhhmm, may rethink that last part. Already a week in with daily exercises prescribed by the doc my shoulder is much better and this is way better than rehabbing shoulder surgery. Two closing thoughts. If you are active you need an orthopedic surgeon on speed dial. Dr Zwahlen is the man. If you sit on the couch all day you need a dietician and a mortician. Also, before seeing the good doctor you might want to have a few esspressos to match his energy level.
