Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knee
I had surgery 2 months ago for a meniscus root tear. Before surgery I couldn’t even walk without crutches. Today I was able to hike Gateway without crutches or a brace and with no pain at all. Couldn’t be more pleased with the amazing work done by Dr Saithna on my knee

I saw Dr Saithna for a second opinion on my knee. He was very kind and easy to discuss my issues with. He gave me excellent advice and I am hoping to have surgery with him next month

2nd rotator cuff surgery
I highly recommend Dr Saithna. He was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly before and after surgery. He did a revision rotator cuff repair on my shoulder and the results have been excellent.

Very thorough evaluation
I have a complicated shoulder issue and have seen several different doctors to try and understand my options. Dr Saithna was by far the most thorough in his review of my imaging and in performing physical examination. I was very impressed and have decided to proceed with his recommendation for surgery

ACL injury
I have had three failed ACL surgeries. I was recommended by my orthopedic surgeon in California to see Dr Saithna. I recently had my first appointment and was impressed by how thorough the evaluation and work up has been. I’m looking forward to my next and hopefully final surgery to get this resolved

Latarjet surgery
I have had so many shoulder dislocations I have lost count - that was until I had a surgery with Dr Saithna. My shoulder feels stable for the first time in over 10 or 11 years. Couldn’t be happier with the results!

shoulder surgery
Had shoulder pain for two years and saw several orthos and had two MRIs. Dr Saithna was the only doctor who was able to finally diagnose me. He found a posterior labral tear by doing an examination of my shoulder and I had surgery for it just over 4 months ago. I am now back to lifting heavy in the gym and am so pleased I didnt give up and kept getting second opinions when other doctors were saying there was nothing wrong. Dr Saithna took the time to actually listen to me and do a thorough examination he also did a great job with my surgery

InSpace Balloon
I went to see Dr Saithna because he was recommended because he has more than a decade of experience with the inspace balloon. It’s only been approved by the FDA for about a year so many U.S. surgeons haven’t got much experience with it. Anyway he did my surgery awake with only a block. I felt no pain at all and it took less than 10 minutes. I even watched my own surgery on the screen! I’m glad I had it done because it’s been very successful and I avoided a shoulder replacement recommended by another doc. Dr Saithna is an excellent orthopedic surgeon and I’m very grateful to him for getting me back the use of my shoulder!

Revision ACL reconstruction
I had 2 previous ACL surgeries in California and both failed within a year. Came to see Dr Saithna and had my 3rd ACL surgery with him. I was blown away by the difference in care. Dr Saithna did the most thorough examination of all the surgeons I have seen, explained the problems to me in detail, did a great job with surgery and my recovery was the easiest of all the surgeries. I was hesitant to leave a review earlier because I also left great reviews for my previous surgeons only to have the surgery fail months later. I am now 3 years after surgery with Dr Saithna, I play soccer and basketball 2-3 times a week and my knee feels great. I would recommend to see Dr Saithna if you have an ACL injury. He is the best!

Excellent doc
I had a very thorough evaluation and explanation of my issues. I wanted to avoid surgery and Dr Saithna recommended a few options which hadn't been recommended by my previous orthopedic surgeon. This included a special brace (medial offloading), injections (I have already done steroid shots and the gel, now trying PRP). If this doesnt work I'll try surgery but I really appreciated Dr Saithna trying to help me avoid it by listening to me and working with me without trying to push me into a surgery. I actually feel better already with the brace but am waiting for the PRP with my pain doc

Very thankful to Dr Saithna and his team!
Just two weeks out from rotator cuff surgery with Dr Saithna and I feel AMAAAAZING. Wish I had got it done sooner. I had a nerve block so did not have any pain when I left the surgery center! I was really nervous and expecting the pain to kick in when the block wore off but I never had any severe pain. I already feel way better than before surgery. I'm just so incredibly thankful to Dr Saithna and his team

Tibial spine avulsion fracture
My son injured his knee playing football and was diagnosed with a tibial spine avulsion fracture. His orthopedic surgeon said that he couldnt fix it because it was a complex injury and he needed to see a specialist because there was a high risk of knee stiffness or giving way. We were referred to Dr Saithna who said that it was important to do the surgery quickly and got us in that week. He did warn us about the same risks but also explained what he did to try to minimize them. The surgery went great and my son had minimal pain afterwards. He started PT right away and Dr Saithna saw him at regular intervals to check his progress. We never saw a PA - every appointment was with Dr Saithna who was also in frequent contact with physical therapy. We are so please that at 4 months after surgery my son has no swelling, or pain and feels like his knee is perfect. He has just been cleared to return to football and we couldnt be more pleased with Dr Saithna and his team! You guys are the best!

Excellent surgeon!
Dr Saithna has an outstanding reputation and I was referred to him after a major knee injury. His office and scheduling of surgery was efficient, surgery was precise with neat and cosmetic tiny incisions and most important of all my recovery was quick and in line with the timelines he set for my recovery before surgery. On top of that he and his office were friendly and kind!

Dr Saithna is the best! Friendly, easy to ask questions and get an answer I could understand, didn’t push surgery and gave non operative options too. Most importantly helped me recover quickly from my injury! Thanks Doc! AL
