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.

Thank you Dr.
What an Excellent pro. Performed a hip revision on me in 2017. He was so thorough and followed through completely. This man deserves higher ratings, but complainers gonna complain.

Successful surgeries
Thank you Dr. Quesada for the excellent care you provided for my father. You restored him back to function. You wouldn't think Dad is 3 months out surgery to left knee and 2 months out surgery to right knee. A successful bilateral total knee arthroplasty done! Thank you Dr. Quesada! May God continue to bless your mind and hands.

Simply shameful
A real eye opener....but a prosthetic would of probably worked better for me. What was for a small 4-5mm tear, ended up with a knee that even to date, can barely hold my own weight. Worse part about it, I was very active in my late 30's playing basketball, gym rat 4-5 days a week, to immediately nothing . I couldn't even walk up my own driveway, unless I went up it sideway. Even the therapist couldn't explain why I went from being functional to why my knee worked completely opposite than expected for such a so called " clean up ".

This man should not be a doctor, he preformed surgery on both knees and only one is functional now. I have to look for another Otho to repair his mistakes.

I went to see doctor because my legs buckle. X-rays were taken in the office. The doctor said most patients my age have a torn meniscus and since I did not want surgery there was no need to do any thing further. It seemed to me the doctor wants to do surgery only and not explore non-surgical treatments nor a different diagnosis.

Dr Quesada is a great ortho Dr to have had work on me in Las Vegas NV 7 years ago. I had both hips done by him in 2012 . Left side done Nov 12th and Right side 3 weeks later on Dec 3rd. I am doing good to the day at age 44 and still working outdoors as a land surveyor of 20 years+ now. The Anterior Full Hip Replacements were the best thing I ever had done by far from this doctor. Very respectful and more important was easy going to make it a comfortable experience. Something ever happens then I'd fly over from Ohio now to have him as my doctor again. Before I've recommended him for others and even my own mother that have went to him and I recommend him even now.

Dr Quesada was very respectfull and informative. He operated on my wife(ACL replacement, and knee repair), and is the only Dr in the US that does ACL replacement with a manual hand drill, which is more gentle/careful. He is always available if we have questions, and my wife’s recovery has been fantastic! Excellent doctor. I would highlt recommend his services to anyone. He is very meticulous and thorough. Very respectful, over all very happy! So what his receptionists are short or slightly rude.
