I have worked with physicians on a dialy basis as a Pharma rep for the last 30 years. I am not in awe of Doctors just because they have MD or DO next to their names. I know how to tell the good from the bad. Trust me when I tell you that these guys are GREAT. 1) Dr. Epply has done two right shoulder jobs on me. The first to fix a botched job by another physician along with a current AC break and the second time around with him I had split the rotator cuff. Ultimately he was unsuccessful with the second repair. The damage was too great. Years upon years of overuse took its toll. I will need a new shoulder in no more than a couple of more years and I damn well plan on going back to Epply. He is a gentleman and a personable surgeon as well as a highly skilled one. 2) Dr. Honsik has done non-interventional work on my shoulder and my forearm. His work injecting my forearm tendon repair with Wharton's Jelly was outstanding. Within 6 weeks a 75/35% tear resolved itself without PT. He has a fantastic sense of humor and is open to discussing treatment options. Look... I don't need to add anything more to a 6 week resolution to a massively torn tendon. Tha speaks for itself. 3) Dr. Mann has replaced the P. Brevis in both ankles and he will be doing the right one again, six years after as it snapped again. His work was superb. It is just that I have congenital deformity that causes this. This time around as he discovered the root cause and he will be going in on this Thursday the 6th to replace that tendon and to reconfigure my heel and metatarsal so that this will never happen again. He is a quietly confident and competent surgeon who I trust completely. He is not brusque nor does he have a bad bedside manner like some people have complained about. He is a serious man (no pun intended) who does serious work and does it well. Don't go to him with vague information. He is there to do his job and if you treat this as a serious matter then you will get serious attention. To be frank, I find him personable, approachable and willing to discuss alternatives to his current methods. Just know what you are talking about. I trust him enough to let go of a particular surgical add-on that I had been considering based on his personal experience and opinion. He is the surgeon that I trust and I trust him enough to go right back to him after the previous surgeries. He is my chosen "ankle guy" and I am quite happy with him. You will be too. 4) The Staff and the PA's: They are sweet, nice and competent to a fault. My disability paperwork was handled every time with almost no challenges. This time around we had a hiccup or two but that solely due to this being filed during the Christmas holidays. When alerted that there was info the State and Met Life were waiting on, they jumped on it and got it pushed through. They are fun, funny, personable, competent and you can trust them. I have had other work done with other docs. My first shoulder was an ortho in SF who was an utter prick. I will never mention his name but I will never go back to him. I had my broken neck repaired with a four level ACDF by an Ortho at John Muir and he did a great job. I will leave him a review later as he is from another practice... as is his colleague who repaired my lumbar spine injury early last year between L4 and L5. He too is a great surgeon and I will leave him a review later... but take note... I am returning to Cal Sports and Ortho, not to John Muir after four surgeries and three non-interventional procedures with them. Why? Because they are that good. If I didn't keep breaking things then all their good work would have lasted me a lifetime. I have had more experience with Orthos than most people. I have thirty years of working with health care providers every day. Trust me when I tell you that I know the good from the ok from the downright bad. "Cal Sports Ortho", Epply, Mann and Honsik are "My Guys". You could do much worse... I'm not so sure you could do better. Trust me when I tell you that you can trust them.

Dr. Mann walked into the room, asked me about my knee, and as I started to explain my history of knee issues he cut me off and snapped "So what's the current issue?!" He then moved my knee back and forth for 90 seconds and handed me a xeroxed list of physical therapy exercises and told me that it's runners knee (as I said...) I left practically in tears - this is an issue I knew I had, but wanted to get professional help. His blatant disrespect for a new client was abhorrent- there is nothing worse than having a doctor invalidate your pain. Needless to say I will not be returning to Dr. Mann and will be taking my business elsewhere.

The front desk staff member, Shellie, was consistently rude and unprofessional in her communication. Simple questions were met with attitude, and there was little effort to be helpful or respectful. For a medical office, that lack of professionalism is unacceptable. On top of that, coordination between providers, referrals, and insurance was handled poorly, leaving me stuck in the middle repeatedly and causing unnecessary stress and delays in care. Rather than taking ownership of the issues, responsibility was pushed back onto me as the patient. I expected a much higher standard of care and communication. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this clinic to anyone looking for organized, patient focused care.

I met Dr. David Chang a couple years ago through a mutual basketball game. I got a positive feeling…read moreabout him right off the bat because he shared my pass-first, everyone should have a chance to contribute approach to the game. Anyway, this past April 25, I was playing ball and running down the court, when suddenly felt an intense pain in my right knee out of nowhere -- no pop, no impact, no twist. i had to it shut down immediately. For 6 weeks, I couldn't jump or run. Given that I generally work out 5-6 days a week, this was not fun. I was doing everything I could to rehab on my own without success. The problem was in my diagnosis. In addition, my orthopedic chiropractor (who is amazing) also was stumped. Enter Dr. Chang. I went to his Telegraph Avenue office last Thursday morning. He examined my knee and the surrounding leg parts to assess the situation. He also asked me for my perspective/description of what happened and how it felt and asked me to explain how I had been treating it. This is where his teamwork approach was demonstrated. It's important for a patient to feel heard and perhaps even contribute to the solution. After putting all the data together, Dr. Chang concluded that my IT band was abnormally tight/stressed and was creating a domino effect in other parts of my leg -- and ultimately causing my knee cap/patella tendon to be tight and and off track, thus, creating some kind of havoc. Dr. Chang showed me some exercises and videos and I did some further research myself. I don't know whether the explanation is magical or scientific (or both), but after puttiing in a couple hours of rehab the next two days, I was playing full court basketball by Saturday morning. I will continue to do the work and see how things play out. I really appreciate Dr. Chang and would recommend that anyone with orthopedic issues, get his valuable opinion.

My experience with Chang was VERY NEGATIVE. He is unprofessional, unkind, and money sucking. I…read morereally hope I don't ever encounter another doctor like him. Before the visit: I broke my ankle and scheduled an appointment with him earlier this year. Not only did he not respond to me asking for confirmation of the appointment, but he tried to cancel my appointment 10 minutes before the scheduled time. He wasn't even apologetic about it. During the visit: This was my first time breaking any of my bones so I was unsure about everything. THANKFULLY I avoided the pressure he was giving me to have a surgery and asked to think about it. Looking back, it was quite upsetting that he never gave me all the important information about getting surgery (healing time, the cons of having foreign materials put into your body, etc.). After the visit: I also asked to call Chang after the appointment with a few more questions about surgery (the whole call took around 5 minutes or less). He ended up charging me for that call, initially labelling it as a regular appointment and changing it to a "telemedicine appointment" after I told them what the call was about. Really??? Not only was I not informed that I would be getting charged for this call (he didn't say it would be considered a "telemedicine appointment") BUT the call only lasted for 5 minutes with no diagnosis or x-ray--just me asking simple questions!!! Because of all the vague answers and overall negative experience, I decided to consult other doctors I trusted afterwards and they all said the opposite of Chang: that I SHOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER surgery at all. It's been months since then and my ankle has healed perfectly (I went to another doctor closer to home who was way nicer, straightforward, and encouraging).
