I cannot thank Dr Wilson and orthopedic specialists of San Diego enough. Before I started going…read morehere I was dealing with doctors who dismissed my issues. I had been trying to get help for over a year with worsening ankle issues. In the first appointment with Dr Wilson, he believed me and ordered new Imaging because it had been so long. However, he was already under the belief that surgery would be needed because of how the ankle was presenting, and the issues that I was reporting. The Imaging took just a few weeks and I was back in his office in about a month total. The Imaging showed a full rupture of my ATFL and he had me rescheduled for surgery at the first possible date. Up to this point, my previous medical team had requested surgery as well, but I have been put off for over a year. The surgery happened just over a month after that visit and I am in recovery currently. Every time I go to his offices, the entire staff is extremely helpful. Everyone is very kind. When I needed to get x-rays postop to see how the ankle is healing I was unable to get on the table and the x-ray technician problem solved and helped me without making me feel like a burden. Whenever I send in paperwork I need filled out for disability or other programs. They get it back to me within 1 to 2 days. They're always helpful and kind and make me feel seen. I can't recommend them enough. They're just amazing doctors and people.

This was by far the worst experience I've ever had at a doctor's office. The front desk staff were…read moreextremely rude and unprofessional, especially toward non-white patients. Their behavior made me feel unwelcome and disrespected, as if they had no interest in doing their jobs or treating people with basic courtesy. A medical office should be a place of care and respect, but instead I left feeling dismissed and uncomfortable. I would not recommend this office to anyone looking for compassionate or professional treatment.

Dr. Hanson stands out in that environment. Many great surgeons are prima donnas. Not Dr. Hanson. He's very personable. I had both hips replaced as well as my left knee, over an 8 month period. All three went exceptionally well. According to two different physical therapists, these three joint replacement were each at the very high end of surgical quality and outstanding recovery. I'm an very pleased and very thankful.

Having coped with a damaged knee for 25 years, I always knew the day would come to have it…read morereplaced, so that I could not just continue, but up my game, as a roadie cyclist. I'm going to write a short book here, because it seems to be the only way to communicate how much I appreciate Dr. Hanson, and why. Over the years, I had met with nearly a dozen orthopaedists, gotten relief from various injections, looked at all manner of edge-therapies, had three conservative surgeries on the knee, lived with the outcomes, and eventually was advised to go ahead and get the replacement. Along the way, I observed the bedside manner of all of these doctors, noting that joint-replacement specialists, like many specialists, are, perhaps because of their training and lofty intellect, not as interested in patient communication as are most GP's. Some of them, I think, interact best with patients who are... unconscious. After doing a good deal of asking around, I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Peter Hanson at Grossmont Orthopaedic. His credentials were unbeatable, and his ratings on Yelp and elsewhere were remarkable. So, I timed my appointment with him to also satisfy my desire for a second opinion. My experience with Dr. Hanson at that appointment was so excellent that, although he truly intended only to offer a second opinion, I was nearly ready to ask him to perform the procedure himself. For a leading medical specialist, Dr. Hanson is astonishingly low-key and patient. Very approachable yes, but it's more than that. He's more like my trusted old friend taking care of me. Anyway, after yet another rushed, slightly contentious session with my other (busy, up-and-coming rockstar) specialist, I had had enough and scheduled my surgery instead with Dr. Hanson in January. On surgery day, he was a comfort both before and after the procedure. Now in my 6th week of recovery, I am delighted that I chose Dr. Hanson to perform my surgery. Although the recovery requires substantial effort, physical therapy, and some pain tolerance, my knee gets better each day. In closing, if you are lucky enough to get Peter Hanson as your joint replacement surgeon, you are in exceptionally fine hands. I cannot recommend him to you highly enough.

After laminectomy and lumbar fusion surgeries, we immediately knew something was wrong. My husband's 2-3 night expected stay turned into 10 days.

Instead of earnestly listening to us, she decided we were just complainers, spread that label amongst the nursing staff, and then refused to work with us. This abandonment made the process of eventually discovering and repairing the Cerebral Spinal Fluid leak extra-agonizing because we had to wait until Dr. Zachariah was available for any communication.

I finally found the best orthopedic doctor in San Diego - It's Doctor Murphy!…read more Staff is great, office is fairly easy to access, and Doctor Murphy is the best of the best. Experienced, thorough, and great bedside manner. Additionally you may notice he is a "MD" not a "DO" like so many of the younger docs in San Diego. I've found that having an "MD" instead of a "DO" makes a big difference. Doctor Murphy is also the right age. He's old enough where he has obviously done thousands of procedures but young enough where you don't have to worry if he is past his prime. Again...I've found so many of the doctors in the San Diego are are just too young and inexperienced. I went in for a second opinion on an Achilles injury. Doctor Murphy was the only doctor to use an ultrasound (the last one did not) and the ultrasound showed not one but TWO small tears in my Achilles tendon. Luckily they were small enough that surgery was not necessary but rehab would be tricky to ensure it did not turn into a full tear (Kevin Durant injury). While the first doctor had also told me I had a partially torn Achilles that would heal on it's own, knowing the exact spots of the tears and the severity of the tears put me at ease and allowed us to better form a recovery plan. We now knew that I HAD to be careful. No guessing. Doctor Murphy made me feel just as important as any of the world class athletes he has as clients and that is important too. In the future if I ever have a more severe injury and require surgery I will only trust Doctor Murphy to do it. 5 stars! Thanks Doctor Murphy and staff!

My 1st question was "has this surgery changed in 30 plus years? AND told him my story", his reply was "no, but you will not be in that kind of pain, if much at all"! Max 2 weeks in a boot and then back into shoes. Well, I wanted to believe him but really didn't. I have had a number of surgeries in my 70 years, and this is the only one I remember like it was yesterday. I knew I had to proceed, low and behold I don't even think I took 1 pain pill. In a week I told him I was ready to get back to my life and he said, "not so fast, you need to wear the boot at least another week, so you don't mess up what I did". Oh darn! I did and have never had a problem since. He also saw my left foot, as it too had a big bunion, but said, "until you are in pain", let's leave it alone. 3 years later, I am now in pain (it's not a pain you forget). I went to see Dr. Berenter and said it's time. He x-rays my foot and says, let's book it. I am going in next week for my surgery and not concerned a bit because I know he is the best and have referred many people to him in my senior community. The only thing that would be better is if his office was up in our neck of the woods. LOL
