As an individual with a ATC background, he is an excellent provider who isn’t at all, egotistical, when as the patient one suspect they have (fill in the blank) and they’d like to confirm or rule out. As an elite athlete, he recognizes the boundaries we push and unless it’s detrimental, allows you to, on your comfort level. His assessment is based on your needs/abilities not just the “norm.” Whether you’re a weekend warrior, college athlete, professional athlete, “Sr.” Athlete or the working or retired, warrior, his approach is the same. Grade A+ quality care. One of the best in all of San Diego

What I so appreciate about Dr. David, and find extremely rare in the health and medical world, he will recommend the best path to health, even if that means sending you elsewhere. In other words, we all know that surgeons cut, but when I saw him yesterday, he didn’t believe that another surgery would be beneficial for me, therefore, he hooked me up with a PT that he used for his own daughter, And he hooked me up with a stem cell/biologic doctor. The wheels are in motion already with those two entities. I feel like I have a great plan in place. I felt like I was treated like a family friend. Additionally, if it ever came to surgery, his reputation as a surgeon is off the charts!
