I can’t thank Dr. Nathani Enough! He has ALL the expertise to fix you, the proper tools are his hands. Dr. Nathani fixed my shoulder that had multiple problems with it. SLAP Tear, RotatorCuff replacement, bone spur etc... I could move my arm over my head within 13 days, very little to No pain, follow doctors orders and you will heal. Thank you Dr. Nathani and your awesome staff. Cecily

Dr Nathani was recommended to me by my Chiropractor for the pain in my shoulder. At my first appointment he did a complete evaluation with x-rays and told me I had no cartilage left in my shoulder, and that a total replacement was necessary to correct the problem. Dr Nathani is very professional, personable and a excellent caring physician. He gave me his undivided attention to every question I had, and at no time did he appear to be in a hurry. I highly recommend Dr Nathani.

Dr. Nathani is hands down the best doctor I've ever seen! He was never rushed, spent a lot of time explaining things, and even answered questions after office hours that I had forgotten to ask during my appointment. I'm back to running and fitness classes, and my hip is pain free. Don't be fooled by how young or attractive he is :). He's a really caring, exceptionally smart and excellent physician and model for all others!

I had a shoulder replacement with Dr. Nathani and I am so happy! It was done as an outpatient - no hospitals, I was home the same day, and the process could not have been easier. It's been 2 months, and my shoulder is feeling better than it has in years, and I am sleeping through the night again. His whole staff, his therapists & nurses were wonderful to me and my wife. This is an honest, excellent doctor who I could not recommend highly enough. He takes the time to explain things and cares.

This guy really knows his stuff. I have had shoulder pain for years and just recently it got so bad I couldn't lift my arm over my head without significant pain. He diagnosed me with impingement and explained things really well. He gave me an injection and then PT. Now I have no pain and I'm back to playing tennis. Thanks!

I have had shoulder pain for years. Dr. Nathani was able to diagnose me with biceps tendinitis within minutes. He gave me an injection and after a few weeks of PT, I have no pain! His clinic was quick and easy to schedule with. Highly recommend-

I started having knee pain last year. I went to see my chiropractor, did physical therapy and took the entire golf season off. Nothing seemed to help. Dr. Nathani ordered an MRI then spent time going over the images with me. We found a meniscus tear that he repaired and now I'm doing great. No knee pain at all, back to golf!

Dr. Nathani is absolutely excellent! I can't say enough about how positive my experience has been with him! This was my first major injury so I was very anxious. I made an appointment and was he was able to see me the same day. It never felt rushed and he explained things so clearly. I felt very comfortable having surgery with him, and so far could not be happier with my experience and recovery I am a competitive athlete and am already back training for the season!
