Tiffany and Jessica in the office are amazing. Super friendly and I look forward to their kindness every time I have a doctor appointment. Dr. Gregory Horner is my doctor at this facility and he is absolutely amazing. He listens to my concerns, addresses all of my questions. He has done surgery on both of my hands and the incisions are barely noticeable. People in the medical field always compliment how natural his work looks post-op. He is sincere and I can tell that my best interests are his priority. I would recommend Dr. Gregory Horner to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much Dr. Horner, I appreciate you! read more

If you're a Workers' Compensation patient, be prepared for long wait times and very little face-to-face time with the physician. At multiple appointments, I arrived on time only to wait nearly an hour past my scheduled appointment before being seen. A 3:00 PM appointment often turned into a 4:00 PM visit, followed by a brief conversation with the doctor that lasted only a few minutes. As someone dealing with an ongoing work-related injury, it's frustrating to spend more time waiting in the lobby than speaking with the medical professional responsible for your care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Patients deserve timely appointments, clear communication, and adequate time to discuss their concerns.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My experience left me feeling rushed, unheard, and disappointed with the overall level of care provided. I would not recommend this office to Workers' Compensation patients seeking thorough evaluations and attentive medical care. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Rush several years ago for plantar fasciitis and had a very positive experience with custom orthotics. I successfully ordered replacement orthotics once before, but my recent experience has been extremely frustrating. At a December 2025 appointment, I was told that custom orthotics were no longer offered and that Tri-Valley Orthopedics now sells an over-the-counter branded insole instead. I wanted multiple pairs for different shoes and requested six pairs so I would not need future appointments simply to purchase replacements. Six months later, the insoles are still unavailable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication has been the biggest issue. The phone system no longer allows direct access to the office, messages left for the medical assistant have gone unanswered, emails have not been returned, and there is no clear way to speak with an office manager regarding the situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At one point I was told insoles were available for pickup, so I scheduled an appointment. The day before the appointment, it was canceled because the insoles were actually not in stock. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now they are calling saying I missed my appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] See screenshots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lack of communication, inconsistent information, and inability to resolve a straightforward purchase request ultimately led me to seek care elsewhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While my earlier experiences with the practice were positive, this recent experience fell well below my expectations. read more

Tri-Valley Orthopedic Specialists, Inc. - 2 days later saying I missed my appt - Sports Medicine Near Me - Tracy, California

See all

I have been seeing Dr Dainer for over 10 years as he is a great physician, [[HIGHLIGHT]]my issue today was mainly with his nurse who didn't express any apologies when I stated that I had to wait for almost 1.5 hours post my scheduled appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Moreover the office staff at the Tracy Office never gave me any status updates as like I have the whole day to wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very unprofessional as I finally decided to walk out after being asked to wait more at the exam room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nightmare experience at Pleasanton office, avoid this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was injured at work in July, and an MRI shortly after showed a significant shoulder injury. I was referred to this office, but even getting in the door was a struggle. My first appointment, scheduled weeks out, was canceled by them the day before, and the next available opening was another month away. I was finally seen in October. At that visit, the doctor told me the injury was severe and that I would need surgery, but insisted on prehab physical therapy first to improve range of motion. This caused further delays. When I finally attended PT--at their own facility--the therapist told me my range of motion was already perfect, making the "requirement" feel truly unnecessary . By the time I was given a surgery date, it wasn't until February, eight months after the initial injury. I won't even get into the 15-20 additional issues that came up along the way, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the process was riddled with poor communication, scheduling problems, and a complete lack of urgency or regard for my situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up getting a second opinion and had surgery scheduled within two weeks with a new doctor. Not only was the process faster and more professional, but the procedure itself was far less extensive than what had originally been recommended. Which is truly alarming. Would they have done things medically unnecessary like the PT? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Between what felt like unnecessary delays, attempts to maximize insurance billing, and a disorganized, unresponsive office staff, this was one of the worst healthcare experiences I've ever had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I rarely write reviews, but this one was warranted. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere read more

I have been to the Tracy location with amazing service, polite and caring staff and doctors that see a patient vs a dollar bill. With that said, the PLEASANTON location can be compared to a hell hole. I broke my ankle and was referred to Dr. Rush by my primary. As Dr.Rush schedule was very busy I waited over a week to be seen by him in an office that was 40 mins away from my home. Obviously I was desperate, I've been in level 10 pain for over 12 days now. I paid someone to take me to the appointment as I had broken my driving foot. As I checked in I was asked for my $25 co-pay, no problem. Then was asked about a $60 balance and if I was paying that "today", I said I was not. I sat down in the waiting room. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Minutes later someone from the from desk approached me in the waiting room, (which had other people sitting in it) to ask me about the $60 balance. Again I told them I would not be paying it today and not to ask me again as I'm in intense pain and need to be seen immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At this point I'm in tears, frustrated and in pain... just needing and wanting medical attention that I've waited over a week for. Then another staff member named Tinisha came over to bring me into a room. Instead she brought me into a rathole of an office that looked similar to a janitors closet. There was half eaten food lying around. Personal items that DID NOT belong in a medical setting, clothing, packages and other patients medical info and billing info alllll over for me to look at! I was in shock I was even brought into this mess of a closet. Honestly was the weirdest medical experience of my life. She asked me to sit down which I was sooo uncomfortable at this point. I don't know what I'm even doing in this dark closet room that is disturbingly littered with trash. She then attempts to have a conversation again about the $60!!!!! And tells me I have to pay it today. NO ONE TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY THIS $60 TO BE SEEN THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT! HAD IT BEEN SOOOOO IMPORTANT, YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED AT THE TIME MY APPOINTMENT WAS BOOKED?!???? Furthermore, whyyyyy was I booked an appointment with such a wilddddd balance????? [[HIGHLIGHT]]At this point harassed for $60 prior to my appointment at 9:00am in EXTREME PAIN! I leave the rat hole office of Tanisha and sit back in the waiting room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She then tells the receptionist to RE-FUND my co-pay. As I'm sitting there "someone" from the office calls me on my cell phone (weird I'm literally sitting in the office) the man on the phone was the one who booked my appointment. I told him I was in the office and "why was he calling?" He wanted to collect the $60!!!!!! He was calling for me to pay the $60!!!!! Unbelievable! To top this alllllll off he then said he would excuse the $60 and I COULD BE SEEN, NO PROBLEM HE SAID, I CAN PAY AT MY NEXT VISIT. I thank him and hang up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tanisha then walks over to me to tell me that they DO NOT ACCEPT MY INSURANCE!!!!! WTF?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU BOOKED A PATIENT WITH A BROKEN ANKLE AND DIDN'T CHECK THE INSURANCE?![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] wtf is going on in the circus DOCTOR RUSH?! YOUR PRACTICE IS A JOKE AND YOUR "MANAGER" is violating many HIPPA laws! Don't worry I am reporting her for YOU! Come here to waste your time, be treated like trash and receive NO MEDICAL ATTENTION! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon further review... It looks like they outsource their scheduling. Clearly, it's all about the money here and they won't even employ someone local (or that lives in the US) to do their scheduling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].. Read on for my original review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do not know who handles their scheduling for appointments, but he needs to be replaced immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called on a Monday, and apparently, their system was down. He told me he'd call back in 30 minutes to an hour. By Thursday, I still hadn't received a call back, so I called again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Same man picked up the phone and (again) he was very difficult to hear and understand. When I asked him to repeat his question, he immediately became very condescending and began speaking to me in a very slow and rude tone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]After I provided all of my insurance information, he refused to make me an appointment because of "a past due balance." We have never been to this office, we have no past-due balance with any provider, and our insurance is paid in full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He adamantly refused to make an the appointment until he "spoke with" his supervisor. He said he'd call me back in 15 minutes... Here we are HOURS later and no call.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called my insurance, and they saw no issue and were very confused about why we could not make an appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went ahead and EASILY made an appointment with UCSF. read more

At first I thought Dr Dainer understood that I wanted to finish my physical therapy before getting any injection in my left knee, but prior to my physical therapy ending he decided to tell me the pain is going to be what it's going to be because I didn't want the injection and discharged me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I never said I didn't want the injection I said I wanted to wait until my physical therapy was over because physical therapy is an alternative for the cortisol shot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think it's bullshit that he discharged me and now I can't get the proper care for my left knee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will not be going back to his office and his short little 4-minute appointments that make you feel unimportant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I extremely dislike Drs that just rush you out the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Do better. read more

-1 star .Strap in. I had a right shoulder surgery in 2023 with someone not related to this office. I came here 1 yr later to fix what the last surgeon did to my shoulder. I saw Dr. Dainer. As I'm there for my appointment, they decided to do an x-ray, even though they had my recent MRI with contrast cd and report. Dr. dainer said to me, he can't say if there's anything he can do unless he has the last surgeons report."""""" Then, he prompted me to come see him in 2 weeks after I got the report. I was able to obtain the records within 4 minutes . I asked the front desk to let Dr. dainer know that I have them, and we can look now since I was still in the office. Unfortunately, he declined. I was told that he had to go do surgery. Sure. 4:45 pm, it was his clinic day. I was made to go back in a week. I came back 1 week later. He reviewed the notes. He instantly said he could do nothing for me. Literally took less than 30 seconds to tell me. Something he cold have done in the first visit. I ask why. I expressed my pain and concern. All I needed was to undo the bicep tenodesis that was originally done and to do a slap repair. Pretty common procedure. The amount of pain I am in and feeling is off the charts. He said there's nothing he can do. He then started to contradict himself. Saying he has done revisions like this before. But then durring out conversation he states he doesn't do revisions like that. I called him on his statements. He then started to back peddle and made very rude remarks. He said to me, "At least you have one good working arm.. seriously. That's what you tell your patients. The outh that he took to help others . What really messes up is. I actually have two bad shoulders , so that other " good working arm" is not working like he thinks . Obviously, they only care about milking the insurance company for easy office visits and then charge them. It was uncalled for me to go twice and waste time and gas money. But they got paid for two office visit and an x-ray. The nerve of this, Dr., to make rude remark to his patient that is in absolute pain. Please avoid this office. I can not stress that enough. It's all about the money and nothing to do with caring for their patients . read more

Place is old. I mean old. I was told MRI was to be done at this location when we got there I was told by the Physician "our MRI machine is obsolete does not take good pictures" you can go to the Dublin facility.

I would not recommend going to this facility. read more

Dr. Jupina is good but good luck getting a return call from their group who oversees workmans comp cases. I've got at least 3-4 calls where I left a message. Their outgoing message says they'll call you back within 24 hours. Well, good luck with that. I'm waiting to set up an appointment with their pain management Dr Liu and they're supposed to be getting approval from my workmans comp. A return call would have been nice to let me know where in the process I stand. I'm looking elsewhere for a doctor now. If they don't want my business I'll find another group who dones. read more

Forget the naysayers. Please. Dr. Horner and his staff saved my husbands hand. Literally saved his ability to FEEL. One thing many if us take for granted, a sense of feel or touch that my husband had lost due to a longstanding work injury causing bi-lateral carpal tunnel so badly he had zero sensation in his fingers. For a year he couldn't hold a cup, tie his shoes or put on his own belt. Now after undergoing his first surgery on his predominant hand (right), he can feel again. He actually cried when he could wash his hands for the first time and feel the water, or feel the texture on our walls. Dr. Horner has amazing bedside manner, and has treated him with dignity and respect. Made him feel confident in his care and treatment plan and positive about his next procedure. I cannot express enough gratitude to the staff at Tri-Valley Orthopedics, thank you!! read more

Not quite sure how to rate this. Maybe I should add 2 different reviews. Dr. Bezahdi was amazing, kind, great bedside manner, very conservative with my daughter's ACL reconstruction. BUT, the office staff is horrible! Not very professional, somewhat rude, not very caring or compassionate. We had to wait for over an hour for the Dr. appt with NO explanation of why and they told us it just gets busy and we need to be patient. Honestly, we would not return because of the staff. read more

This is my experience during 2 separate injuries and is consistent with other family members experience. The initial appointment setting is like navigating the 7 levels of Jumanju. Unprofessional, a black hole for documentation, wildly disorganized - even if you walk a document into the office - more than once - doesn't matter. All the documents are initially lost - without exception, no one can find a fax (they say they don't use emails - whatever ...) or anything 'in the system', it's literally a black hole - and this goes on FOR WEEKS!! IF you can make it past the guardians of the black hole gauntlet to an actual appointment- the medical staff, PA's etc...are wonderful, accommodating, second to none and the benchmark of professional medical care. It's mostly worth the pain of the 3 week+ document chase to make the appointment- but if I'd had another readily available option, I would not have tolerated the initial scheduling process, this is unnecessary and counter productive. It's as if there's no Office Manager/accountability/process or procedural steps in place. May the odds ever be in your favor! read more

He was running a little behind but they offer free wi-fi so it didn't bother me at all! Dr. Dainer himself was friendly and informative! The x-ray technician made me feel very comfortable as well! This entire office was a plus! I'm So glad I went and tried them out! I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

This place is a complete $hit show. From front staff, call center to Dr's. Had surgery and my knee is still not right. They lose paperwork, do not return repeated calls. Dr will no longer treat me after he did a crap job on my knee. read more

You think you do the research and get a good doctor. Like the other review under Dr Dainer specifically, he was perfect before my initial surgery. After surgery, he made the comment, my knee was as good as it's going to get, that I will have some instability. There isn't any more he could do. I continued to have falls and slip ups. So I went back to see him. At the office visit, very rude and short with me. Even after I told him I had a fall. Months go by, and I had another fall. This time, extensive damage to my knee and now broken bones. I call the doctor to make an appointment. They receive authorization from my carrier. The day comes to go in, an 1.5 before my appointment the office calls me to tell me that they need my personal insurance for they have to Bill me personally. Once I tell them I'm Kaiser, their response is I have to pay cash, before being seen. I told the initial nurse, I was confused. They received authorization for me to be seen by the carrier. Apparently Dainer was refusing that coverage. After attorney calls and carrier calls, I was finally able to see him. But I really shouldn't have. I go in and you could tell he didn't want to see me. He looks at my wound (stitches from one end to the other end of my knee) and says your fine and walks out. Um....I sat there... was I supposed to leave with an open wound? I'm in a wheelchair so, I pull out of the room, excuse me.... am I'm suppose to leave the office with an open wound? The nurse nurse looks at me and says hold on, let me ask the doctor. 5 minutes later, I roll myself out without receiving proper bandages. I am amazed this doctor is still in business. He doesn't care about his patients. He only cares to be paid for surgeries. Not for maintenance care or follow up care....etc. I left in tears at the treatment I received. read more

After looking up the reviews to this facility and the designated Doctor i almost didn't come and took my daughter elsewhere. I am happy to report my experience was amazing! My daughter is 4 and fractured her ankle. We were referred to Dr Dougherty. The staff and Dr were fantastic. He was thorough with her diagnosis and healing plan. I also would like to give a shout of to Karol the X-Ray tech. She was sweet and friendly with my daughter. Lastly, David who wrapped my daughters cast was gentle, friendly and quick! Please do not always depend on reviews that are negative. Each persons experience could be different. read more

I had to go to this clinic when the tendinitis in my wrists became unbearable. The two weeks of physical therapy which were prescribed to me were the only decent part of the experience. The five-minute consultations with the doctor were completely impersonal, and seemed to be contrived with the purpose of dragging out my condition and maximizing profits at my expense. The diagnosis I had to provide exclusively on my own, by describing my symptoms. The doctor used no sort of examination technique aside from having me describe my symptoms. I was prescribed painkillers and physical therapy. When I came in for the second appointment, it was clear that she had failed to recognize that I also had issues in my elbow. I was promptly sold a brace for my elbow and told to return in another four weeks. Again, it was a five-minute appointment with no actual examination. When I requested that the doctor write me a brief letter so that I could get accommodations to take the GRE, which she herself had recommended, I was instructed to come to the office for a separate and additional medical consultation at my expense, another overpriced five minutes, in exchange for a few sentences on her official letterhead to enable me to advance to graduate school. In conclusion, I would emphatically recommend against seeking treatment at this clinic. If you're in a similar situation that I was in, you can diagnose yourself using Web M.D. Then, go read some books on ergonomics and there you have your physical therapy. I have been forced to suffer a negative experience at Tri-Valley Orthopedics, an organization lacking in professionalism, ethics and a sense of community, which I historically took for granted in my dealings with doctors. I hope that others will not have to undergo the same ordeal. read more

Some of the Dr's are good and some would rather try rehab first before surgery. I'm on the fence about that...HOWEVER, be aware that is you have a high deductible insurance plan they will want to collect money up front as a "buffer" around $300 which I feel is total crap. Also, they will charge you $15 just for a Dr signature for the DMV paper to allow you to obtain a temporary handicap placard. Then you still have to go to the DMV to obtain this for $7. Other Ortho docs do not charge you for this. This is TriV just screwing the patient. Also wait times in Tracy are ridiculous, usually 1 hour behind read more

I went to Tri Valley Orthopedics for pain in my shoulder over a month ago. I live in Tracy, Ca but drive the 30 minutes to Livermore to see Dr Danier. When he entered the room I asked for a shot or something for the pain. I had fallen off my bike over 9 months earlier had been treated by my doctor for the pain, had even been sent to physical therapy & nothing had helped. I could not sleep on the shoulder, wash my armpits, or lift my left arm above the shoulder. Dr Danier said I would first have to have an MRI which I did at Tracy Sutter Hospitol. When I arrived for my follow up appointment today I was first asked if I had&the DVD of the MRI? I replied no, that I wasn't told to get one and bring it with me. I should also mentioned I had to drive 40 minutes to Pleasanton for this appointment. Dr Danier entered the room, told me I needed more physical therepy even though I had already tried it, ( 4 appts). When asked if he could do anything for the pain he replied, "I would first have to work the shoulder to get rid of the pain". After 3 or 4 visits to the Physical Theripist he wanted to see me back, then we could discuss the "PAIN". He was in a hurry to get out of the 10 minute appt, and left. Needless to say I will not be driving to Pleasanton again. I am still in pain. read more

This rating is for the lengthy waiting. I've already waited 15 mins, and have now been told 3 patients are ahead of me. I have a 10 am appt, and I was here about 10 mins beforehand. I really don't like the feeling that my time, and that of the other patients can be spared/wasted all to get more $$$ through the door. Update: after waiting a total of 1.75 hrs, and still not seeing the doc, I left. Rescheduled for the day after, so we'll see how this appt goes. read more

The ladies in the front are so nice and helpful (Tracy location) I had to wait about 20 min even though I was a cash patient and had an appointment.

They were very good in dealing with my toddler. read more

Dr. Jupina did a great job on my knee feels so much better than it has in the last two years! I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr Horner refused to give me a cortisone injection because I didn't want to have surgery. I have replaced him and saw a new dr who gave me my injection & didn't even pressure me about surgery. Dr horner also stated that I had 7 injections in a year which wasn't true, he insulted my intelligence. read more

My first experience with Dr. Dainer was seven years ago when I was sent to his Livermore office do to a work related injury to my right shoulder. I was impressed right away as there were members of our armed forces in the waiting room for appointments with Dr. Dainer. I found Dr. Dainer to be quite pleasant and very informative. After examining my shoulder for some time, he stated he would like to start with a modest treatment to see if it would be of benefit. I was given an injection in the shoulder and scheduled another appointment. When I returned I told him that the first treatment did not resolve the issue. We discussed the situation and decided to try another treatment rather than moving on to surgery. On the third visit we made the decision to do surgery on the shoulder. The surgery was a stunning success. After three days I was off of pain killers and in very little discomfort. Within a short time I was in physical therapy and back to work. I was so impressed with my first experience that when I injured my knee a couple of months ago I sought out Dr. Dainer again, this time at his Tracy office. After studying the MRI (which I was told to bring in from Tracy Hospital) and stated the only option in this case was surgery. We scheduled the procedure and again I am very pleased with the outcome. When I was ready for physical therapy I was offered my choice of where to go, I decided to use the physical therapy provided at his office, I was not disappointed. The staff was excellent and very thorough. After eight therapy visits I am ready to go back to work. I find Dr. Dainer to be very professional, concerned, caring, and dedicated to his patients. His staff is very friendly and is very good at what they do. I found waiting room times to be in line with any other Doctors office and in some cases much shorter. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dainer should you have any issues that fall within his scope of treatment. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Jupina. He preformed a hip replacement on my Mom 1 year ago. She had been putting it off for several years. The surgery was finally scheduled the same week my Father died. Dr. Jupina was so good with my Mom. He rescheduled the surgery with out a problem working her in at a time that was convenient for us. Not only is his bed side manner great. My mothers surgery was very successful so much so that he next hip will be replaced by Dr. Jupina in the next few months. I have seen several complaints on this website complaining about Tri-Valley not prescribing enough pain medication quick enough. I give these doctors credit for not being medication pushers. They get to the root of the problem and fix it with out over medicating and causing more problems. read more

TRACY OFFICE REVIEW - I am only giving this place 2 stars because the ladies up front were so sweet. My husband injured his knee very badly in a Friday night, and we were able to get in that Monday when we called. The Dr we saw Dr Stein was great and stated that my husband needs an MRI immediately because he may need surgery, and due ro the large amount of swelling he had we would come back Thursday for review of it. His assistant Juliana came in to talk to us and let us know that the order would be input and we would we called. Wednesday when we still had not been called I called tri valley only to be told that the assistant never put the order in OH AND THAT THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH HER!! SHE ALWAYS FORGETS TO INPUT ORDERS FOR MRIs. Well my husband's knee is worse.. We call twice more today, and she still has not been responsive to the stat MRI order. The place was nice.. The doc was nice.... But if you have a patient that may require surgery, and they cannot get the basic assistance they need that is a horrible issue. I'd say I'd recommend the place, but the guarantee of care is not really there. As a nurse who worked in Orthopedic Trauma for 3 years its unacceptable. You have to stay on top of important things like imaging because you make the docs job harder!! So here it will be Thursday tmrw, and no MRI .. No diagnosis due to this error. read more

If you value your health, turn and walk away from this place. Chances are good that if Dr. Sean Dougherty is your surgeon, walking may not be an option later on. I thought I did my homework choosing this doctor to reconstruct the torn ligaments and bone spurs in my ankle. He sold me with the words, " I don't work on knees, hips, or backs. Only the foot." I thought I was getting an expert. Instead, I ended up with nerve damage and excuses from the doctor, who insisted the shooting, stinging, electrical shocks in my ankle, and the numb, burning sensations I continue to have 14 months post surgery, are stemming from a back problem. He even wanted to send me to his "back guy", who is part of this same group of doctors. Instead, I consulted 2 other doctors outside of this group who both confirmed that my pain is caused by an issue below the knee, possibly from the nerve block I was given. Dr. Dougherty disagreed of course. I have had to retire from my job early due to the pain I suffer. I cannot even wear a sock on the foot that was operated on. The compression of the sock is unbearable. I am praying that there will someday be relief for me. I have spent over a year in depression over my results. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. I wish I did. read more

I had injured my hand and broken my middle finger, I went to the Dr. that the hospital sent me to. After 4 weeks he sent me to the physical therapist. The PT urged me to get a 2nd opinion. I then came to see Dr. Horner. My whole hand was still very swollen and I could hardly move it. Dr. Horner sent me for a MRI (which the 1st Dr. Never did) then after the results came back, told me I needed surgery right away because the tendons in my hand were damaged. He couldn't promise me a full recovery because of the amount of time that had passed with me going to the 1st Dr. He was willing to try and get at least some movement out of the surgery. With surgery and physical therapy I can say I'm so pleased and surprised at the results. I can almost close my hand completely. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be able to use my hand at all.. Dr. Horner was a life saver!!! I want to add the office staff and Dr. Horner's asst. Stephanie, were all so nice and helpful. They didn't hesitate and answered all questions I've had.. I HIGHLY recommend Tri Valley Orthopedics if you need some amazing Drs. that know what they're doing!!! read more
