I tried new shoes, better insoles, massage rollers and nothing worked. He used a shock wave type of therapy on my heel and after 3-4 session I felt a noticeable difference!

I went to Dr. Lewis for a second opinion. I gave my MRI images and X-ray images to Dr. Lewis'…read moremedical assistant right before the appointment. The assistant told me that Dr. Lewis would look at the images before she came to talk with me. Dr. Lewis met with me quickly. During the appointment, it became clear that she never looked at my X-ray and MRI. To save herself the time to actually review my images and medical history, she just simply said to me, "you should follow the treatment plan from your treating physician". She did not provide any independent evaluation. I don't know how she could arrive at the conclusion about my condition without looking at my MRI and X-ray at all. This review is for the PAMF location in Sunnyvale.

I have used Stanford health care for many years. Their doctors are usually exceptionally good…read more Dr. Mishra is the exception. At my first appointment, he lectured me on his relationship with his nurse of 20 years. First words out of his mouth. I had said nothing about his nurse who had just showed me to his office and had spoken to me when I made the appointment. He glanced at my knees, which is why I was there, and said nothing. I had x rays taken on my own which showed arthritis near the knee cap. I explained to him a previously seen doctor had removed arthritis 5 years ago and all pain disappeared. He told me to ride an exercise bike and he left the room. I tried riding the exercise bike but the pain continued. He was very angry when I returned for a follow up visit. The second visit was about 5 minutes. He made it very clear he was not interested in helping me with anything. I have reported him to Stanford Health Care.

Dr Mishra is world-renowned for his experience in the treatment of tendinopathies (i.e. tendinitis…read moreand tendinosis), so I felt fortunate to reside in the Bay Area near his services and care. I have consulted Dr Mishra a few times over the past three years and I have always appreciated his attention and detailed explanations of my ailments. It may not seem like he performs all the fundamental clinical tests, but he asks excellent leading questions that uncover the same information. Appointments can be tough to come by, but be persistent and call a few times, as cancellations/rescheduling are common. As of March, Dr Mishra holds clinic two days a week. Navigating to the Menlo Clinic takes some time (and a GPS), but the effort is undoubtedly worth it! Many thanks also to his helpful and responsive medical assistant, James.

We saw several shoulder doctors - all cannot tell if they can do it without the possibility of perhaps needing a reverse shoulder joint replacment until they open his shoulder up. And the surgery can take from 5-7 hours. We saw Dr. Cheung and her command of the shoulder is so apparent. Sensing our apprehension, she said that shoulders is all she does and she "eat and sleep and dream shoulders". She lived up to her reputation and confidence. The surgery took less than 3 hrs, and the pain and recovery was speedy as within 3 weeks, my husband was ready to play pickle ball (his passion) - lol. He was on the court just to hit within 3-4 months. I swear by Dr. Cheung's skills and her staff as well. after a few xrays and MRI, she was confidence that there is no need for the possibility of a reverse shoulder replacement (its when the socket is reversed on the top of the upper arm bone. In addition, she inserted the latest model shoulder where the pin to the upper arm bone is shorter hence less intrusive. There is no doubt that Dr. Cheung is a shoulder replacement SUPERSTAR BAR NONE !!!

Dr. Emilie Cheung did such an amazing job on my elbow! She is usually well respected for her…read moreshoulder surgical procedures, but just as impressive, was her elbow surgical procedure. I am right hand dominant, and a tennis player. I went in to see her in June 2025 to remove a bone spur in my right elbow that was broken off, causing me a lot of pain and locking. I experienced not an ounce of pain post surgery, and within 2 months of rehab, was back playing tennis and in the gym! I would highly recommend Dr. Emilie Cheung for any shoulder and elbow surgical procedures. She is absolutely the best!!

I had my one year post op appointment with my orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Hooper, today…read more I came a bit early to have my X-rays done prior to my appointment, per my Dr.'s request. I can say that after a year of healing my left hip is doing great. Dr. Hooper performed a total hip replacement on my left hip last March. My experience with her was very good. Her Physicians Assistant, Dorien, was also wonderful. I'm hoping I will never have to have this done again. It was a painful recovery. But I made it through successfully and I'm happy to say, my left hip is feeling good.

I can't say enough about Stanford Orthopedics from the office folks all the way up to surgeons, you won't find better care and consistency of excellent care. My ankle fusion was done by Dr. Loretta Chou. She is fantastic; other surgeons in my area said they would need to do 5 surgeries over several years. Dr. Chou told me "40 minutes". That was 8 years ago. I'm doing fine. Hips are good. I'm back to doing the activities I enjoy. Stanford has the best staff if you must have surgery. They are very conservative and go to great lengths to make sure you make the right choices to be your best self. Couldn't recommend them more. If you have to stay in the hospital, it is brand new and state of the art; incredible facility. You'll get some sleep there because they try not to bother you nonstop all night long like they do in other hospitals.

Dr. Bronk is such a fine Doctor. He did my gallbladder surgery and I recovered very quickly, and…read morefelt comfortable with him throughout the process. THEN, he helped us get my elderly father through gall bladder surgery. We were very hesitant as Dad was already showing signs of memory loss. This was where I really saw what a fabulous doctor he is. Dr. Bronk let our whole family fill his office and ask questions (which can be annoying for a Dr. I am sure!) But he was patient, kind and really focused on speaking to my Dad, asking him about his military service, his career, etc. In this day and age it is hard to find a Doctor like this. Once he had surgery, Dr. Bronk made sure they used the lightest anesthesia suitable so that Dad would not have drastic memory loss (as anesthesia can sometimes accelerate dementia in elderly). He was thorough, kind, knowledgeable and I just can not say enough good things about him!!! I give him 10 plus stars!

I have wrestled for a long time if I should you should not get it removed and finally I mustered the courage to just proceed. I was awake the whole surgery and his nurse Peggy and Dr Bronk chatted with my husband and I the entire time. It helped pass the time. What I appreciated is he gave me options to either not proceed or proceed or if I wanted anesthesia I would opt for re-booking the appointment at the hospital. He explained he would just use local injection to numb site. I was totally fine the entire time. Very professional and skilled. I am so glad I had my ugly lipoma removed.

In October 2022, I suffered an Achilles tendon rupture and was referred to Dr. Saxena by my family…read moredoctor. I underwent surgery on October 26th. Unfortunately, from December 5th onwards, I experienced significant complications. My left foot swelled, and the wound continued to have discharge for three months, with unabsorbed stitches appearing every month. I was very worried about my condition, but Dr. Saxena showed no concern or interest in my situation. He just simply advised me to clean my wound at home using Alcohol Pre pad every night, and told me this tendon recovery normally need to take 5-6 months. In February, I requested a referral to the Stanford Advance Wound Care, but Dr. Saxena refused to provide it. I was extremely disappointed and felt that he lacked medical ethics. Dr. Saxena seemed more interested in promoting his surgical skills and reputation than providing quality care to his patients. He frequently mentioned that he performed the most surgeries in the Bay Area and that my case was only 1% of his many operations. This dismissive attitude made me feel very unsupported during my recovery. Additionally, when I expressed an interest in learning more about Achilles tendon surgery, Dr. Saxena repeatedly directed me to his website rather than taking the time to explain the procedure to me himself. In summary, I found Dr. Saxena to be a doctor who prioritized surgery over patient care. If given the chance, I would never seek his services again. Thankfully, I was able to find a second doctor at a different wound care clinic who was able to help me with my chronic wound without needing a referral.
