This review is long overdue! After a sudden onset of neck and shoulder pain, my sports medicine…read moredoctor referred me to physical therapy, and I am so incredibly glad I found West Bay Sports Medicine. Joey (Joseph Livelo) was my physical therapist, and he was absolutely amazing in guiding my healing journey. Beyond being highly knowledgeable, personable, and easy-going, Joey takes a wonderfully pragmatic approach to care. He designed a program with exercises that were easy for me to stick to, thoughtfully evolving the routine as I progressed to edge me closer to full recovery. I genuinely looked forward to our weekly sessions! It has now been four months since my last visit, and I still do a set of the exercises Joey gave me every single morning to maintain my physical well-being. Beyond the excellent care from Joey, every single person I interacted with at the West Bay Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Center was super nice and welcoming. As an added bonus, the office has its own parking lot, making visits completely stress-free. If I ever need physical therapy again in the future, I would return to West Bay Sports Medicine in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them!

Dr. Park fixed my torn labrum in late 2023 that was a result of a ski injury in 2021. The surgery…read morewas minimally invasive and my recovery went much faster than expected, and I was skiing again 3 months after the surgery (don't try this at home!). Two years later my shoulder is basically at 100% with just occasional stretching required. In fact I'm skiing right now which is what reminded me of Dr. Park and I figured I'd add this review. I give at least partial credit of the fast recovery to his skill, and I will go to him again for any future injuries, knock on wood.

I inherited Dr. Dennis Park from my pervious doctor who retired in that office/network . This new…read moredoctor as well as his staff are cold and indifferent to patients, very unhelpful and sometimes rude. I got the MRI result for my knee and called the nurse and wondering about how to send an email to the doctor. His staff was completely unhelpful, absolutely didn't care about helping me solve this issue, and in the end refused to help me. Whenever I went in to see the doctor, he showed no patience with my questions, always trying to dismiss my concerns or provide additional information on my condition.. I have since found out from other friends that they have had similar experiences at this office. So beware, I now go to the orthopedic department in Burlingame hospital instead, and the service is much better and quicker there too.

Dr. Hughes is hands down the best sports medicine doctor I've ever worked with. Over the years he's…read morehelped me through multiple injuries -- from knee surgery to stem cell and platelet-rich plasma treatments -- always with precision, skill, and a clear focus on long-term recovery. He has an exceptional ability to pinpoint issues, explain treatment options in plain language, and tailor care for the best possible outcome. You always feel like you're in capable hands, whether it's a complex procedure or ongoing rehab. If you need a sports medicine specialist who combines top-tier expertise with genuine care for his patients, Dr. Hughes is the one you want in your corner.

Dr. Marvin Lo is a professional caring orthopedic surgeon. From office check-in to hospital exit,…read moreeverything went like clockwork. Even my meds were ready the day before even though I have not needed them yet, it was comforting to know they are available. He visited me pre-op to see how I was doing and put my nerves at ease. The knee surgery went well. The only memory of it was the vaporized anesthesia face mask and waking up in the recovery room. I don't know how Dr. Marvin Lo could receive anything less than 5 star review on Yelp.

He used SkinPen microneedling to address my skin, and I've noticed fading scars along with a more glowy complexion and less redness. I'm loving the results so far!! The procedures were painless, and he was even able to inject PRF into my more deeply pitted scars for extra rejuvenation. Beyond the microneedling through DrMedSpa, he's also helped treat the stiffness and aching in my neck with trigger point injections and acupuncture. I felt so relaxed afterward, and I've been pain-free since the injections. You can tell he has thorough medical training and real expertise with needle technique. Dr. Chen was incredibly educational and genuinely listens to my concerns. The staff was wonderful and amazing too, making sure I was comfortable and well-prepared before every procedure. I'm already looking forward to my next microneedling treatment. Highly recommend this office!

Terrible experience. This clinic operates like a factory, treating patients like numbers rather…read morethan people. I arrived 30 minutes early for my first appointment, hoping they might accommodate me, but they were understandably busy. However, once my scheduled appointment time arrived, I was forced to wait an additional hour before being seen. During this 1.5-hour ordeal, I was shuffled between various rooms for no apparent reason, all while watching at least 15 other patients being cycled through to see the same doctor. Even worse, patients who arrived long after me were seen first. When I questioned the doctor about the delay, he offered a standard apology, claiming there was an "emergency." To make matters worse, the facility looks nothing like the pictures online. The actual clinic is flimsy, poorly maintained, and offers zero privacy--you can easily overhear other patients' confidential conversations. The entire operation feels like a money-driven hustle. Save your time and go elsewhere. Avoid this place at all cost!

I decided to take time off from my sport activities for a while as my entire body was totally off - out of shape. Dr. Park listened to my concerns, prescribed Physical Therapy and ordered and MRI. Going through PT gave my body time to heal with proper exercises. As I was progressing, I was able to do some light running. It took about 7 months of hard work but well worth it. I am now back to my full-time sports activities with my senior teammates. Front desk receptionist is very polite and attentive, Veronica, Doctor's assistant, is kind and puts you at ease.

My sister highly recommended Dr. Dirk who performed shoulder surgery on her 10 years prior with great success. Many thanks to his office staff for squeezing me in during this ordeal. Dr. Dirk surprised me. After spending time moving my shoulder, he determined that I did not need an x-ray or MRI. He was certain I didn't need surgery. He asked me to follow his instructions carefully, and in 1 day, the pain will lesson, without taking anything strong than Advil and Tylenol. I thought he was crazy! It is now a week later, I've had my follow-up appointment, and I can't thank him enough for his expert assessment and guidance. Thank you Dr. Dirk!!!

I followed his instructions to the letter for my recovery and I'm very happy to report that I'm back to 100%.

I would definitely go back to his practice for general movement concerns, as well as Active Release Therapy in the future!

Gary advised us to get an X-ray done first, so Dr. Pyka can review the X Ray first to be prepared for Wed. Once we are done with the X ray, we followed up with Gary, and Gary immediately contacted Dr. Pyka. Based on the X-ray result, Dr. Pyka recommended us to see another Ortho ASAP instead of waiting for him. Gary referred us to a couple doctors and followed up with us multiple times. Although we ended up not seeing Dr. Pyka, his immediate response and recommendation + Gary's advices were invaluable. Truly appreciated their professional feedback and support. Thanks.
