Dr Presant is the best Dr I ever got to know . He’s very Patient and Professional and shows he really cares how I feel as well as his staff. I miss visiting due to my company insurance has changed over to Kaiser :(

Review for Dr. Presant

Surgeons are notorious for having horrible bedside manners and for not providing patients enough time to ask questions. Martin Pham, however, is not like that at all. He listens, is extremely smart and personable, asks questions and genuinely wants to help you. I highly recommend him.

Review for Dr. Pham

Dr. Anthony is very patient listening to my comments/concerns. All the staff is very friendly and informative. The facility is clean and attractive. A friendly environment for serious circumstances.

Review for Dr. Anthony

For the first time after 3 surgeries for the same issue, I had minimal pain and could walk normally. I suffered for a year after breaking my hip and the repairs didn't work until Dr. Knutson replaced my hip. I am thrilled.

Review for Dr. Knutson

Dr. Brummel's knowledge and compassion. He took time to fully explain the procedure and discuss my options.
