I was so lucky to find him. Because he uses robotics and computerized scans there is precision to his technique...and because of that precision, there is less intrusion, i.e. pain and swelling. He gave me my life back! I can't say enough about his care and quality. He supported me all the way. I always needed both knees replaced, so he of course did the other knee. I am on the road to full recovery. His support staff are also amazing. They work hard, often after hours to make sure you are called with all the up to date information for scheduling all that needs to be done before the operation....which can be quite cumbersome...they make it all easy. Thank you Dr. Smith

Dr. Degenhart should retire. I brought my partner to him as she was having intense and debilitating…read moreknee pain. She had an MRI taken and he refused to look at it. We pointed out a strange line in the image and asked him what it could be. He glanced at the screen and said, it's a cyst. He is very rude and dismissive and said our only option was a cortisone shot. Went in again because the pain was getting worse. He again said "would you like a cortisone shot" he then repeated himself over and over as a way of dismissing our questions. I had enough and brought my partner to UCSF. they immediately identified two loose bone fragments and scheduled surgery. So much unnecessary pain and sleepless nights. Degenhart is chauvinistic and rude and obviously does not care about his patients. Don't go.

This was a huge decision for me because I am extremely athletic (even at 45) and want to continue being so for as many years as possible. My martial arts teacher had had ACL surgery done by him years back and it was very successful. I also asked around and 2 other people I trusted told me he was the best in town. I was told his bedside manner could use work by one person, but when I met him, I didn't really get that comment. He was very nice, and patient, and answered all of my many pre-op questions about options and what post-surgery life would look like. He did the procedure on 2/12/13 and it went as well as could be expected. I chose the autograft hamstring option not only because that's his specialty and preferred method (vs. allograft/cadaver or autograft/patellar tendon) but because everyone I spoke with said that was probably the best option in my situation. It was tempting to consider the allograft option because the recovery time is said to be faster (since they're not poaching your own tissue), and when Dr. D does these he says he doesn't irradiate the cadaver tissue which is apparently what is said to cause the stretching in some cases that can cause a later need for a re-do.. which was the downside that I was concerned about with that particular option. It was particularly tempting to go that route because of his stance on that, but in the end I decided to go the hamstring option and I'm glad I did because as I sit here 3 weeks post-op, my hamstring feels pretty good and I envision that my recovery time won't be significantly longer than the allograft option. None of that is meant to constitute medical advice btw..lol.. just some thoughts from my own research in case it helps others in their own research. I'm glad I chose Dr. Degenhardt and would do the surgery again with him.. though I definitely hope that's never necessary.

I cannot honestly speak to Dr Yinger's work because I could not get an appointment with his office.

I called each time an approval went to them but each time I was told the doctor would decide if he would see me or not. The third time I called (over a period of months) I was told to not call them again. My knee is still jacked up and I will seek a different doctor for treatment.

He was patient in explaining things including drawing a picture of what was going on with my shoulder. He gave me 3 options and recommended the 2nd one. I took his advice. He injected an anti-inflammatory into my shoulder and prescribed some additional anti-inflammatory pills along with physical therapy. My shoulder today is like new.
