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 replacement disaster
Had total knee replacement. After 3 operations on the same knee, my kneecap won't stay in position. Knee is significantly worse than before the first operation.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Frisancho for over a decade, with that said we are very satisfied with his professionalism and care that we receive. Reviewers above site problems with the office, but I haven't had any issues with his office through all the changes in the past decade.

Dr. Frisancho just performed a full hip replacement on me. I am 13 days past the surgery and walking without a cane. He did an excellent job. He is an amazing surgeon. He is brilliant, skilled, and extremely well credentialed. He answered all of my questions, was patient and very easy to talk with. I recommended him 100 percent. I will never use any one else for orthopedic care. He truly is the best.

I've been in this office to see Dr. Frisancho twice. Scheduling was a nightmare, since they do not answer the phone. The first visit took 3 hours, the second visit took 2 (including wait time). The doctor was pleasant, but after everything I went through to see him, I was disappointed there was basically nothing he could do for me but increase a medication I was already on to help with the pain. He rightfully refused to consider operating since I'm outside recommended weight guidelines.

I was told I needed surgery on my ankle. I went to Dr Juan and he recommended physical therapy instead which avoids the long recovery from surgery. So glad I got a second opinion. Dr Juan is great! I trust him completely.
