    Follow up Get Well card.

    Everyone I encountered during my recent hand surgery was absolutely wonderful. From the start I did feel the initial intake form was a bit invasive asking about v's that should have no bearing on my operation. So I wasn't sure how I was going to be treated declining to answer those questions. Phew! I was still treated like a human being, and the kindness from everyone including Sarah at the front desk all the way to Nurse Karen in recovery made for a painful hand break surgical procedure to be met with reassuring care and attentiveness to my needs and well-being. Thank you to everyone who cared for me that day!! I really appreciate the follow up get well card too!

    I do not recommend having surgery at this location. The most traumatic post op I've ever had. First of all, Dr Bader is an amazing surgeon. I've had 2 surgeries done with him. However, the quality of his staff and facility has worsened completely. I will review solely this facility here. I will review separately Golden State Orthopedics (my pre-op visits). I didn't have a good experience at all. I will add that nurse Elizabeth was very sarcastic and other nurses were laughing at me. I had a voice recording of everything that happened. I left my phone to record my entire surgery and post op. The anesthesiologist under sedated me and the pain was excruciating post op. Mind you, I had this hip surgery before. Post op, I'm not supposed to feel feel my entire area for days. I had full sensation as soon as I woke up. I'll add two more things: 1) Even though I was loudly crying and shivering from pain, they refused to give me more than 10 mg of percocet. They told me to call a pain doctor whom I was on hold with while crying and screaming in pain. 2) I was unable to pee for a collective 4 hours (while on IV fluids!) by then; and they refused to put a catheter in until I begged the nurses many times to do that. It took a long time. I had sharp pain in my bladder for a whole day afterwards. Overall, it was the worst experience of my life in a hospital.

    Admin/Front Desk: There was only one lady working when I arrived. She was very professional, helpful and polite!! Pre-Op: I had Suzy as my Pre-op nurse. Again, she was professional and polite. She is very good at her job! My Doctor (Dr.Bader- Amazing Doctor A++) was running behind due to his surgery prior to mine being longer than expected. I was already having anxiety Issues but Suzy did a great job at keeping me informed and checking with me/talking which calmed my nerves tremendously. Almost 2 hours after my scheduled start I was taken into the OR. Dr. Ku/Koo (not sure on the spelling) was my anesthesiologist in pre-op who performed my nerve block. Great doctor who took his time to answer any and all questions I had and even explained how the block was performed. OR: since I chose to go without Anesthesia, and just a nerve block, I was awake during the operation/procedure without any sedation. Everyone in the operating room were extremely professional and under the circumstance, I felt at ease and comfortable. Seriously, I've had a lot of different doctors in my 36 years unfortunately. Hands down, Doctor Bader is/was my favorite by far!! He is that rare Doctor that has bedside manor and genuinely cares about his patients. As unfortunate as this injury has been, having him as my surgeon/Doctor has been the silver lining. If you're ever at John Muir with an orthopedic injury, I highly suggest you see if you can request him!! Post Op: So this is where my review got 3 stars rather than 5. The lady/nurse who I had in post op, in my opinion, should probably look into another field of work, something that doesn't require you deal with public/patients/customers. She was rude, flat out. I know the fact that I hadn't eaten anything for about 14-16 hours didn't help. However, the only way I can explain it is by saying she was like the Hitler of Post-Op, minus the German accent and funny little mustache. I'm not going to go into detail or give a name. We are all susceptible to having bad days. It was the end of the day and possibly she was just having a rough day. I was thrilled to be getting out of there. All in all, I was very pleased and impressed with this facility, minus the post op. Keep up the great work!! And post op nurse, Smiles and being nice don't cost a thing, you should give it a try sometime, you'll be amazed at the response you'll get......

I had recently undergone back surgery and mentioned that my leg had been hurting. Even though I was there for my hip, Dr. Feng immediately took the concern seriously. He stopped what he was doing, performed a thorough examination of both of my legs, and told me he was concerned I might have blood clots. He sent me directly to the hospital for testing, where it was confirmed that I had blood clots in both legs. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Feng's attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism. His willingness to listen carefully and go beyond the immediate reason for my visit made all the difference. I truly believe his actions may have saved my life, and I will always be thankful to have had him as my doctor.

So, the poor operator was lied to by their upper management. I feel so sorry for her to have to deliver such news, with no notice to the patient. Their website states he is still there. So I waited all weekend instead of going to the ER/ED. I then was told he was gone. But get this, their website AND phone message states they have Urgent Walk-in Clinic. So, another reason I waited, to go on Monday. But NOPE, THEY CLOSED THIS TOO. BUT STILL ON THEIR WEBSITE. Maybe while you're cancelling doctors, you also get your web team to make the correct changes on your website so people don't delay treatment thinking they are going to see their doctor, or be able to go to Urgent Care. And if this is how they manage their office, imagine how they handle their surguries or injections!! My guess is if their CEO, Steven Hammarstrom, cannot run the practice correctly, you don't want who they hired to touch your body. Stay away. Now I am needing injections, and I have no where to go, no doctor to oversee me. This is a blatant lack of care, and if the CEO is a Doctor, he should be ashamed of himself; Steve Hammarstrom I am talking directly to you!

    I had rotator cuff surgery performed by Dr. Timmerman a week ago. From what I understand, the tear…read morewas fairly substantial, and it was not automatic that surgery would be able to repair it. Also, from what I understand, including the pictures she showed me, she was successful in reattaching it. Without being an expert on these things, it still seems to me that Dr. Timmerman is an experienced and skilled surgeon. That, of course, is by far and away the most important thing in looking for a surgeon. The reason I am not giving her an unreserved five star rating is the following: In our postoperative visit one week after the surgery, I felt Dr. Timmerman was very rushed. She showed me pictures of the shoulder and the surgery, which I appreciated, but kind of rushed through her explanation of what the pictures represent. As somebody who has zero knowledge or understanding of such things, I really did not understand it all and did not feel comfortable to ask her to repeat her explanations. Nor did she really take time to just sit down and say, "OK, how are you feeling? How is everything ?" I did not come away feeling clear on what I can and cannot do during the entire three months of my recovery period, nor on what the prognosis is for a fairly full recovery of the use of my shoulder.The whole appointment was maybe five minutes and I was asking her questions as she literally had 1 foot out the door of the room. Now I understand that doctors can be very busy, but I really do feel like they have to make time to create an atmosphere in which a patient can feel comfortable asking questions. After all, the recovery period is important. I am not sure how to say this: I appreciate the experience and apparent skill that Dr. Timmerman brings to the table. But as just some older guy who just wants to live out his remaining years being comfortable, active, and as productive as he can, I have to wonder if in the field of sports medicine us older people are sufficiently recognized for who we are.

    The surgery made my problem worse. Never got over that. Could have been because it was workers…read morecomp.

I also shared that I'm a busy mom and don't have a lot of extra time for long rehab routines, and he completely got it. He gave me simple, effective exercises I could realistically stick to, while actively working on rehabbing my shoulder. What I appreciated most is that he didn't just tell me to stop or "take it easy." He understood my goals and helped me keep moving forward safely without feeling like I was losing progress. Now my shoulder is completely healed. At my worst, I couldn't even lift my arm to shoulder height--now I'm back to doing everything in CrossFit, and honestly feel stronger than before. He didn't just fix the injury--he helped me build a better foundation so I can avoid this happening again. Highly recommend!
