I went in to see him when it wasn't healing, on a Monday and he said "Can you do surgery on Wednesday". The surgery went well, this is a hard bone to deal with and it was in bad shape but my recovery was great with good ROM. Fast forward 13 years and I did it again to my other wrist. This time the ER missed it again but I was suspicious and got back to Dr Gutow, who confirmed the fracture, and back we go to surgery. This one went fantastic, despite being 13 years older my recovery was great and I'm back riding my bike. Aside from his attention to detail and clear fascination with getting the cases right, he is extremely personal and has a wonderful bedside manner. Thank you, Dr Gutow!

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.

First appointment, he was half an hour late and rude, but figured out what we needed to do. I had three procedures and he was rude, disrespectful, disengaged.

I had to ask the nurses if we were done. The scheduling staff and procedure office seem to not talk to each other. Went back for follow up appointment. Waited in lobby for 30 minutes before I just left. 15 minutes after that, the receptionist called me to ask if I was still keeping my appointment. Since I said no, she said "OK , I'll just cancel it.". and hung up. No "Do you want to reschedule?". or "How can I help you?" I'm currently looking for a new doctor.

From induction to delivery and postpartum care, the nurses and staff were incredibly attentive, supportive, and kind. Giving birth is not easy, but I felt genuinely cared for by the Labor & Delivery team and the lactation consultants at Sequoia Hospital. Every nurse and lactation consultant I met was amazing. I especially want to thank the nurses who supported me during delivery and postpartum recovery -- they not only provided excellent care, but also made my stay exceptionally memorable. I wish I could remember everyone's names! (Room 3348 from 4/23/26-4/25/26 and Room 3118 from 4/25/26-4/27/26.) The rooms and hallways were always very clean. The postpartum bed for new moms was surprisingly comfortable, and the guest beds in both the delivery and postpartum rooms were comfortable as well -- my husband had no complaints! They even provided pillows and linens for guests if needed. The hospital also provides three meals a day for moms, and the food tasted much better than I expected. My husband and I were especially grateful for the mini kitchen -- apple juice and soup broth were basically the only things I could tolerate after getting the epidural. Thank you again to everyone who took care of us during such an important moment in our lives. We will definitely return if we are blessed with a second child someday. Sissy & Chris
