I know that is the least of the concerns for ACLR, but it shows the level of attention and detail Dr Isono puts in his work.

I was not completely happy with my experience with Dr. Stuffman relating to a shoulder injury and…read morediagnosed as a torn rotator cuff tear. Although he correctly diagnosed my problem and my need for physical therapy, he declined to refer me to a physical therapist office. Fortunately, my health plan has a good physical therapist office available for referral and Dr. Stuffman did provide a general order for the therapy. The therapist was very competent and requested that I obtain an ultrasound exam from Dr. Stuffman for aid in understanding my injury and providing the right physical therapy. This required another visit to Dr. Stuffman. For the purpose of thoroughness in making his diagno-sis, I think Dr. Stuffman should have performed the ultrasound (a 15 minute exam) in my initial visit with him. Dr. Stuffman also provided no prognosis for my injury, albeit the physical therapist recommended that I no longer do my upper body workouts with 5 lbs. weights or more for fear of aggravating the torn rotator cuff. On the plus side for Dr. Stuffman, he provided a online video for doing physical therapy and this video mentioned "easy" may be better in doing physical therapy weight lifting. This advise was very helpful because I tend to do too much sometimes

While I am not qualified to comment on the quality of her work during surgery (and I was anesthetized while that was being done anyway) her reputation as a surgeon is tremendous. I will try to remember to revise this review when I get six months out from surgery but, so far, (knock wood) I could not be happier. I know some people have expressed difficulties with her staff. Like any Doctor who is considered to be at the top of their field, you are going to wait a while. Otherwise, I found the pre surgery process to be reasonably organized and far from onerous. I will try to remember to come back in six months an add to this review but, so far, I am very thankful that Doctor Laroque sas my surgeon.

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.

Initially, an assistant saw me and inquired on my complaint then a physician assistant, Diane examined, x-rayed then provided approaches. Since I have seeing a therapist for nine weeks, the logical step is having a cortisone injection on my trigger finger left thumb which I took. Hopefully this injection will address my issue and stay. 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'm glad I had this appointment and encourage anyone with arthritic hand issues to consult them.

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.

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.
