The reviews listed below were collected independently of San Diego Orthopaedic Associates Medical Group through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Unfortunately I was not pleased with the overall interaction with this doctor. I was expecting him to be more welcoming because of the reviews online. When I got there, I felt like the appointment was very rushed and I was only asked about 2 questions about my medical situation the entire duration. I was anticipating on providing more information to the doctor on my symptoms but he did not ask. The provider was also not knowledgeable of my history which I feel like is very pertinent to know before meeting a new patient. I felt like his bedside manner needed improvement. I would’ve wished my situation and plan of care was explained in more than one sentence before he left the room. I did not feel like there was enough time to explain my concerns and ask questions because he seemed preoccupied. Overall I wish it was a better experience with this doctor.
