I write this review with complete disappointment. I arrived to my scheduled appointment 30 minutes…read moreearly to fill out paperwork required, since it was my first time to this office. I was greeted by a very friendly and professional staff and felt this could be a good place. I was told early on that Doctor was in surgery at Doctors Hospital (across the street) and would be coming back soon. I was in the office for 2 hours and no Doctor. As I'm walking out, I heard the doctor just arrived and could be seen quickly. The office staff was sincerely apologetic and I felt bad because they could see my frustrations. Before I left I requested to have my paperwork back and the CD's with my X-rays. I've been referred by my Doctor to two different Orthopedists in Manteca and both have been a let down. My first referral, they cancelled my appointment and never informed me. I tried this place out and the doctor shows up an hour and a half late. I truly wish there was more consideration for patients that have scheduled appointments. I understand Doctor was in surgery, but knowing things can happen and there could be potential delays, perhaps appointments shouldn't be scheduled. I work in the Bay Area and I'm now out two vacation days due to both doctors. The unprofessionalism that I experienced cannot be erased, especially when starting off a relationship with a new doctor. I have had great experiance with Alpine Orthopedic in Stockton and will now need to drive out there to receive the professional level of service needed. I truly try my best to support local businesses, unfortunately some make it very difficult to do so.

I went to Dr. McGillicuddy. He sucks!!! He's rude and snotty and acts like you are a pion!!! He…read moredidn't even look at my medical information, he didn't examine me or look at the results of my MRI and made a snotty conveyed diagnosis. He shouldn't be in the medical profession with the lousy rotten attitude that he displays to his patients. He had never met me before and dissed me as if I was wasting his time. I wouldn't go back to him if he was the last doctor on earth. Don't waste your time seeing him.

This doctor's office [Dr. Farr's office] is extremely unprofessional and deeply concerning. The…read moreStockton (formerly Manteca) location appears to be staffed by only one person, making timely patient care virtually impossible. Over the course of four consecutive days, I placed 18 calls per day, each time receiving a recording stating they were "helping other patients" and would return my call within 24 hours. No one ever called back. The only way I was able to reach the office was by calling from a different phone number, at which point I was told the doctor is based in San Jose and only comes to the Central Valley two days per month. This critical detail was never disclosed upfront. As a result of this lack of transparency and responsiveness, my 91‑year‑old uncle, who broke his hip and underwent hip surgery, has now been in pain for three weeks without proper follow‑up care. This is unacceptable and potentially dangerous for an elderly post‑surgical patient. The receptionist should have clearly communicated the doctor's extremely limited availability from the start. Operating a practice this way--especially while treating vulnerable, elderly patients--is irresponsible. Note: with the doctor only being in office two days a month, it's obvious they are not "helping other patience" as the recording states. This was a truly unacceptable office experience.

I've been a patient here for some time, went through a surgery with Dr.Pettigrew and needed my knee…read moreto be checked. I was told I had fluid in my knee, and needed my orthopedic surgeon to check it out. I got an appointment today 11/5 to make sure it's not something serious. I was called by the front desk woman on Thursday, telling me they needed to update my insurance and they would check it and get back to me. Friday, I had the same thing happen and still no one checked my insurance which I was not aware of. I got the day off, drove from Sacramento to come all the way to Manteca for Dr.Pettigrew to look at the fluid in my knee and tell me how we proceed. I was told at the desk that they don't can't take my insurance since I'm not on HPSJ anymore I'm just straight Medi-Cal. After talking to the nurse Allie, I am appalled at how she talks and cares for people in her office. Coming from a nursing student, and someone who wants to make a difference and help people in their time of need I can tell she doesn't care about anyone but herself, and her paycheck. I asked for Dr.Pettigrew to come out and speak to me (which he didn't, and that's rude in itself) she came out with a full blown attitude and told me they won't take my insurance (obviously). I told her I'm a single mom, and needed the money from working today if they weren't going to take me they should have called and expressed that after they called me twice already. I asked her if she knew anyone who did take straight medi-cal and she said "that's not my job". She should NOT be working in a place for patients if she's not going to be THERE for the patients. I told her she had a bad review coming and she walked away when I needed to still ask for my records. She yelled "I'll send them" as she walked away without even confirming if she had my email. Women like her should be plucked out of the medical industry because people like her only care about the bottom line. I am also upset at Dr. Pettigrew. If a patient wants to speak to the doctor, he should be able to give me a few minutes to talk to me instead of sending a nurse who couldn't care less. I would give 0 stars if I could. WATCH OUT FOR NURSE ALLIE

As far as I'm concerned he's THE BEST ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR TRACY HAS TO OFFER. His office visits are always satisfactory, quick and very informative. I bumped into him outside of his office at the hospital and he actually stopped to say hello! NO doctor does that! But he did! He says "J. D.! Is that you? Haven't seen you in awhile bud, you look good!" Man it was great to see him though. He's still one of my doctors but I like him the most. Honestly, he has to be the most handsome doctor I've ever had! He looks like a GQ model or an ex Abercrombie and Fitch model when he was younger. He's got a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too serious like the other doctors do. This man is simply the best that Tracy has to offer. He knows his craft. Be nice to him and he'll be nice to you. You will NOT find a better doctor than him. Highly recommend!

Within minutes of checking in, my son and I made our way back for vitals then we were in a room.

He was open about including my husband at all of my appointments, as my husband was the one providing my in-home care. My husband felt very confident in Dr. Than, as I did. He was very clear about the non-weight bearing restrictions & the time frame for those restrictions. It's amazing to see my scar, now three months after the surgery. It is so faint you can barely see it. My friends are amazed at how wonderfully my incision has healed & so quickly. Dr. Than is very thorough in his pre-op preparation. I have a bleeding disorder & had a pulmonary embolism almost 20 years prior, following a back surgery. I also have asthma & some minor heart issues. Dr. Than made sure I had all the pre-op tests & approvals from my specialists, prior to the surgery. In regard to recovery, Dr. Than has referred me for Physical Therapy & is confident I will regain all of the functions of my leg & knee I had prior to my accident.

If you are looking for an doctor who truly cares and delivers results, look no further than Dr. Shah. I also want to extend a huge thank you to Michael, Hazel and the entire staff for being so warm, welcoming, and efficient during our visits.

I originally contacted Golden State Spine specifically to schedule physical therapy, since they…read moreadvertise PT services. I was told I had to see a doctor first, so I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Connor Byrne and was billed for the visit. Only after that appointment did I find out their physical therapy department does not take my insurance (Blue Shield PPO) and I was referred out to outside providers instead. I don't understand why this was not disclosed when I called initially, because it would have saved me time and money -- I could have gone to my primary care physician for a referral instead of paying for an unnecessary specialist visit. On top of that, the outside PT referrals I was given either weren't accepting patients or had availability pushed out for weeks (earliest was March after my January appointment). If you're calling for physical therapy, ask very clearly whether they take your insurance for PT before scheduling anything.
