    First time at this provider. Line was long to check in. I should have come in early, didn't…read morerealize so many people would be there. Once i got through the check in line, they got me back pretty quickly. They also got me seen pretty quickly. The dr and staff was kind and courteous and answered all my questions.

    The doctors are good but the administrative staff here are apathetic and rude. It's not just one…read moreand it's not just once. It's consistent. I arrived 15 minutes ahead of my appointment time as instructed. After waiting for 45 minutes past the appointment time, I asked, "Can you give me an idea of how long before I'm seen?" And no, I didn't ask it with attitude. I am aware it's not their fault, I just want to know how much longer. They told me they don't know and "couldn't care less how long I've been waiting and I could reschedule if it's a problem". It's REALLY hard to get an appointment so no I didn't want to reschedule, I just wanted to know how much longer I'd be waiting. Then the guy who brought me back says, "I heard you complained about the wait. I've been at this all day, getting my ass handed to me, so if you don't like it, you're free to go elsewhere." And then slammed the door to the room in my face. They have made billing errors and after multiple calls and promises to have it corrected, it is still not corrected and every time I am made to feel as if I am inconveniencing them by asking for resolution. I've asked for an office manager name and number and have been refused. I promise, if there was another option, I'd take it. But there's not.

    I have a recording of a consultation with a Doctor at Panorama Orthopedics where he tells my wife…read moreas plainly as he can (with 3 interns in the room) that nothing, absolutely nothing, could be done for my Wife's shoulders short of complete replacement. We sought a second opinion from Dr. Dorf. Now, Dr. Dorf is a straightforward guy - about as straightforward as they come - but he is also a professional and he didn't bash the previous doctor, but the look of complete puzzlement by this previous diagnosis was difficult for him to hide. He felt he could give immediate relief with a cortisone shot - which he administered himself. The previous doctor told us that even with his 35 years of experience he couldn't get a shot in the right place without ultrasound guidance. Dr. Dorf didn't have this issue. He was confident he could get it in the right place - and he did. Again, the puzzlement was difficult to hide - but no bashing. ;-) After reviewing the MRI provided by Panorama (the same MRI the previous doctor used for his diagnosis) he gave us the opinion that he could scope her shoulders and give her years of less pain and he did not feel that replacement was something that should even be on our radar. She had bone spurs, partially torn rotator cuffs, arthritis, scar tissue. Dr. Dorf "clobbered" the spurs, fixed the cuffs, took out the biceps tendon and cleaned up the rest. Why couldn't the other doctor do that? Perhaps skill has something to do with it. What a difference. Our original diagnosis was disturbing to say the least, but i guess when all you have is a nail, the answer is always a hammer. Dr. Dorf is on a whole different level. To put it bluntly, this guy knows his shit and isn't afraid to do the right thing for his patient - even if that requires some stern advice on recovery from time to time. Additionally his support staff is awesome. Annie in particular was so great. She called us promptly every time we had questions and didn't mess around when it came to making sure my wife was taken care of in the best way possible. My wife also had trapeziectomy on both of her thumbs. the result is 2 thumbs, way up! If you go to Dr. Dorf prepare yourself for great care, great advice and counseling, and most of all - great confidence that the right thing is being done by the right people. Hopefully Dr. Dorf lives forever because we plan to, and we will never use another orthopedic doctor. Thanks Doc. :-)

    Dr. Dorf, Annie and the folks at VSO fixed my broken ankle. They were excellent. Can't thank you…read moreguys enough!
