I came to Dr. Eric Hohn with a torn meniscus that was blocking full extension of my left knee. This…read morewas the final outcome of an old bike injury. The tear had begun four years prior and was not diagnosed during an MRI at another doctors' office when I was living in Boston. Dr. Hohn was extremely competent in handling the diagnosis and performing my surgery. Following an MRI to confirm our suspicions that my meniscus was blocking my knee, Dr. Hohn talked me through my options and the potential outcomes of surgery. Worst case scenario: he couldn't fix it and the torn tissue would be removed. Best case scenario: the tear could be mended and I'd have better function in the future. Fortunately, Dr. Hohn was able to repair the tear! I'm 3 months out from surgery now and am feeling great. The knee feels very stable, and my only limitations are from the remaining muscle atrophy. I highly recommend Dr. Hohn. While I am not an MD, I am a PhD in biology, and I can say from my interactions with him that this doctor has a firm grasp on the most modern methods and research in orthopedic surgery. That said, his demeanor can be a bit academic and reserved, so he may be off-putting to some people (see the previous review). If you know the right questions to ask, Dr. Hohn has the knowledge and patience to help you understand your particular situation.

They waste your time shamelessly. We arrived at 3:45 as requested for a 4pm appointment. The place…read moreis supposed to close at 5. The waiting area was packed, like people with crutches leaning against the wall. It was clear they were running badly behind, and from the amount of people waiting, it was clear it's wasn't just one doctor running late. At 4:30, I asked the check-in desk how it was looking. There were 3 people ahead of us and they just took in the 3:15 appointment. It could be 30 minutes, it could be 45 minutes. "Depends if the people ahead of you have a lot of questions or need an X-ray." Um, are you hoping for people who ask no questions about their own medical condition? No explanation of how they were going to see us well after their closing time. No "sorry," which I guess would've been hypocritical anyway. By that point, I had checked Yelp and found it was par for the course, and sure enough, it was just another day of grossly overbooking the place at the expense of patients' time. We canceled soon after and left without being seen for a painful injury. Wish I could send them a bill for our time.

I chose PT, and have been virtually pain free for three years by using the exercises. I Appreciate Dr Heywood's kind and caring manner and his obvious skill.

I brought my shoulder in Dr. Reynolds, fearing a torn labrum. He breezed in, performed a physical…read moreexam that lasted less than 30 seconds, said that I definitely had tendonitis, prescribed physical therapy, and rushed out of the door in less than 5 minutes total. Wow, that was easy, and what a relief! The only fly in the ointment was that the hilariously short physical exam, and total interaction gave me a very bad feeling... and my symptoms were totally inconsistent with tendonitis. So I sought a second opinion. The second Dr. did a much longer, thorough physical exam, and explained that he thought it was a torn labrum, but that it should be definitively confirmed with an MRI. An MRI definitively confirmed that I had a torn labrum, a completely unrelated condition to tendonitis, which is treated completely differently. Is Dr. Reynolds grossly incompetent, or simply criminally negligent? I can only speculate, but that question will be answered in a court of law. If you read this, I pray that you head this warning, and do not take chances with your most precious asset in life, your health, with Dr. Reynolds.

From the moment I walked in until the moment I left the facility, my experience there was arguably the best I've ever had for a medical procedure. From the receptionist to all the nurses involved, it was a first-class act. I had only met Dr. Christoffersen once, but I was confident that all would be okay, based on talking to people who knew him. The surgery went perfectly, and I was up and standing shortly after the procedure. I stayed the night for observation, then the next day I was released. My knee was straight, and the healing time was approximately one and a half months. I was back on the golf course in six months. Based on how well my knee replacement worked out, I would highly recommend Dr. Christoffersen to anyone.

What a difference! Dr. Liu, listened carefully to me. As a senior I was grateful to be treated with such respect and to find someone who cares about getting to the bottom of the reason for pain. He then ordered an MRI, which ruled out a torn meniscus and I am now in physical therapy. I have high hopes that this will correct the problem. I highly recommend Dr. Liu.
