I was a patient at Alameda Physical to address injuries I received from a car accident, and was…read morevery satisfied with the treatment and service I received. I would address my accolades specifically to Jimmy, my PT. He was smart, knowledgeable, and adjusted my treatment plan based on my progress, and his rehab plan and treatment helped me, and now I am 100% recoverd. Jimmy is also a good listener, humble, and a nice guy. Should the need arise, I would not hesitate to come see him again.

Jimmy is the GOAT of ACL recovery…read more If you're a basketball player in your 30s and you blow your ACL, the first thing that goes through your head is, "Is this it for me?" I was in that exact spot after surgery, but Jimmy didn't just get me walking again he got me back on the court. What makes Jimmy different is that he doesn't use a "one size fits all" PT manual. He actually reached out and worked directly with my surgeon to build a regimen that suited my specific body and my specific goal of playing basketball again. The sessions were high energy and he tailored everything to the mechanics of the game. In addition to your standard ACL recover routine we did other activities I've never seen at other clinics: Rebound Drills: Literally doing explosive rebounding drills off the office wall to rebuild my jumping confidence. The Sticky Note Test: He had me snatching sticky notes off the ceiling to work on my vertical and reach. Lockdown Defense: To test my lateral quickness, he had me defending one of the clinic assistants in live drills. He knows that recovery is 50% physical and 50% mental. By the time I finished my sessions, I wasn't just healed I actually felt like an athlete again. If you are injured and want to play again, this is the place.

Not only did he sit me down to discuss whether I would want a ceramic or a titanium replacement, he discussed with me and my advocate the relative merits of each. He treated me with respect, and he and his partner worked for several hours on my hip replacement, also checking in with me every day I was in the hospital recuperating. He listened to my worries about pain medications and helped me taper down safely and at a speed that worked with my CFS/FMS, a difficult balancing act on both our ends. However his staff isn't always great with respect.

The good: Dr. Pirnia himself is great. Most importantly, he treated me like an adult capable of…read morelearning about my issue and making good decisions for myself. He listened to my complaints and descriptions of physical issues. He patiently showed me what was going on with my body, and laid out progressive treatment options clearly. He was conservative in treatment, willing to give the least invasive treatments time to work before moving on to the next step. The staff is quite helpful too, as long as you don't have a billing question. The bad: Dr. Prinia's billing is handled by a third party called J.T Howe & Associates. This company is impressively bad at the one service they provide: billing. I'm still waiting on bills for service I had performed 5 months ago. When bills do come, they lack claim numbers and procedure codes. Service dates are incorrect, and payment breakdown is unclear. It is nearly impossible to reconcile their bill against an insurance claim. You'll have to call the J.T. Howe representative for Dr. Pirnia for information, and while he's helpful once you get him on the phone, he's hard to get a hold of. Lastly, their bill comes with an envelope and an address to send a check to. No website, no credit card option, no information on how to use an HSA debit card, or any modern payment scheme. Ultimately my physical issue is healing and I can thank Dr. Prinia for helping that process, but the billing process has brought its own variety of pain!

Although he correctly diagnosed my problem and my need for physical therapy, he declined to refer me to a physical therapist office. Fortunately, my health plan has a good physical therapist office available for referral and Dr. Stuffman did provide a general order for the therapy. The therapist was very competent and requested that I obtain an ultrasound exam from Dr. Stuffman for aid in understanding my injury and providing the right physical therapy. This required another visit to Dr. Stuffman. For the purpose of thoroughness in making his diagno-sis, I think Dr. Stuffman should have performed the ultrasound (a 15 minute exam) in my initial visit with him. Dr. Stuffman also provided no prognosis for my injury, albeit the physical therapist recommended that I no longer do my upper body workouts with 5 lbs. weights or more for fear of aggravating the torn rotator cuff. On the plus side for Dr. Stuffman, he provided a online video for doing physical therapy and this video mentioned "easy" may be better in doing physical therapy weight lifting. This advise was very helpful because I tend to do too much sometimes

Although interpreter was provided, his staff asked me communicate with her in English at the first beginning.His conclusion contradicts basic common sense. In defending his conclusions, he distorted the timeline of my condition, ignored the pain in my heel entirely, and never addressed it. In subsequent MRI results, all of my symptoms were confirmed. It's unimaginable that a doctor could operate without basic common sense. In my case, it's really hard to tell whether the problem is with his character/morality or his medical expertise. Holding such authority, he instead uses it to intimidate and bully. Even the insurance adjuster said she felt sorry for me. Truly shameful. The whole experience working with him was an absolute nightmare.

I was referred to Dr. Peterman by another orthopedic surgeon in the same building. She told me I needed a total hip replacement. I had been reading a magazine in the waiting room concerning knee resurfacing surgery.. I said too bad they don't do this for hip replacements. She said" There is hip replacement surgery. I just don't perform them, but Dr. Peatman is qualified to do hip resurfacing surgery". She called his office and I went straight to his office.. was the kindest doctor full of knowledge still very young at the time, he put me at ease and explained everything about the surgery. Having hip replacement surgery was the best decision I've ever made in my life. I've had absolutely no pain in the hip., the morning after my surgery, I hesitated to put weight on that leg for fear of the pain that would happen in my hip. The nurse encouraged me go ahead. It'll be OK,I put my weight on the leg, in total amazement,I had absolutely zero pain deep in my hip. I had forgotten what it felt like to have zero pain in my hip. It was and still is to this day, amazing to be without pain. I love my hip-still to this day love my hip resurfacing surgery. I am so thankful for Dr Thomas Peatman. It goes without saying Dr. Peatman has and always will have his own special place in my heart. His office staff were also wonderful to me. I will add I was his first Hip Replacement Surgery. Talented wonderful surgeon. Yes I know. I'm just a little prejudice,after all, he gave me back my life he gave me back movement dancing ,walking even setting pain-free.

Often, they get me in early and out quickly due to my long drive. All my crazy requests are handled efficiently with 5 star customer service. I have never been made to feel I'm asking for too much or wasting the staffs time. Dr. Peatman is a confident but not cocky surgeon who always makes me feel he has my best interests at heart. He takes time to answer my questions and explain treatments and procedures so I fully understand. He never appears to be in a hurry. During my surgeries, I have noticed the operating room support staff seem to enjoy working with Dr. Peatman. I even had one nurse tell me he is the best surgeon she had worked with. I can't think of a better endorsement.
