Review for Dr. Atienza Jr
I recommend dr Sanghvi to everyone I see with bone on bone knee pain. He is the best in the Bay Area and possibly the US. This guy is just the greatest. My knee (which he replaced) feels like a normal knee, I can run, jump and walk all day on it. Thank you Dr Sanghvi!

Dr Atienza didn't let me finish describing my concern, kept interrupting me when I was talking, kept repeating that he has worked in this field for many years and knows about it.
