I am so pleased that I choose Dr. Azzam for the treatment of my shoulder. Come to find out I had a torn labrum and needed my bicep tendon reattached. Dr. Azzam walked me through the necessary procedure answered multiple questions with patience. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Dr Azzam repaired my ACL and meniscus. He and his staff were very nice to work with and he did an exceptional job with the surgery. I can barely see any scars and I’m thrilled with my outcome and progress post op. I would highly recommend Dr Azzam for any sports med/orthopedic needs.

Michael Azzam is hands-down the BEST!. I had an unfortunate fall which caused a severe injury to my left knee. My meniscus was completely detached from the root and required immediate surgery. I was very apprehensive about having the surgery done as we all have heard the horror stories of never coming back to be 100%. He eased my fears and I decided to have it done. I am so thankful I did. My quality of life is now 110%. Dr. Azzam is not like other doctors he does not carry the god complex. He listens to you, he hears what you say and he wants to help. Did I mention he's also easy on the eyes. I highly recommend Dr. Azzam

On top of being a compassionate physician, Dr Azzam's professionalism and honesty regarding my knee replacement surgery eased my concerns and anxiety. I would definitely recommend him to any of my family and friends to visit with Dr Azzam for any ortho concerns.

My husband had a fall and badly injured his patella. At our diagnostic appointment, Dr. Azzam explained the injury in detail and answered all our questions. Dr. Azzam understood the extreme pain my husband was in and scheduled him for surgery immediately. He repaired the patella by removing a chip and reattaching ligaments. During recovery, Dr. Azzam and his nurse kept in close communication with phone calls and office visits. I am grateful that we were referred to Dr. Azzam and would highly recommend him.

My wife had to have, basically, a shoulder replacement. The surgery went very well, over four hours.. Dr. Azzam took the time to explain everything, and the follow-up was complete. We were very pleased, and recovery is great.

Dr. Azzam is hands down the best orthopedic and sports medicine Dr. out there! I had torn my ACL and Meniscus while playing softball. He made me feel 100% comfortable with his thorough diagnosing and explanation of my injury and how he would attack the situation I’m 2 months out of surgery and back to walking! He has met and by far exceeded all my expectations!

I went to see Dr. Azzam for a torn ACL and from the moment I met him, I knew he was the doctor I wanted to fix my knee. Dr. Azzam is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly makes it a point to understand his patients. When determining treatment for me, Dr. Azzam presented me with all of my options and helped me make the decision that was best for me. Heading into surgery Dr. Azzam had 100% of my confidence in his ability to repair the injury. I'm currently four months out of surgery and couldn't be happier with the results. I'd recommend Dr. Azzam a thousand times over.

Dr. Azzam and his team diagnosed and repaired my elbow. From the moment I walked in I was surrounded by a professional staff that made me feel I was in good hands. Dr. Azzam personally really showed an interest in me and my surgery went very well. In after surgery consultations he still showed a genuine concern for my condition. I'm looking forward to rehab. Thank you very much Dr. Azzam and staff!

I had a lovely experience with Dr. Azzam. He repaired a torn meniscus in my left knee from an injury that came out of nowhere. The surgery went well, minimal pain, and its been a smooth recovery under his care.

I am a 60 year old male who is very active and I tore my ACL playing soccer. Dr. Azzam performed surgery on my knee and I couldn't be happier with the results. I am only about 8 weeks out from surgery and I'm already way ahead of normal recovery time. Dr. Azzam has taken the time to answer all of my questions and has been great at informing me with what to expect next as I rehabilitate my knee. I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Azzam to anyone looking for a highly qualified surgeon and a very caring person/doctor all the way around.

Dr Azzam has done amazing work on my right shoulder. This was my second rotator repair on this shoulder. He was able to relocate the long head of the biceps tendon due to excessive fraying, reattach my tendons using donated tissue and clean up my labrum from extensive wear. This was a 5 hour surgery, required 11 weeks of rest and immobilization. I am at 14 weeks post op and have regained full range of motion in my dominant shoulder, my pain is decreased and I'm working on strengthening in therapy. Dr. Azzam is friendly, knowledgeable and explains each step of this process. I highly recommend him and have already referred two friends. Thank you so much!!

My rotatory cuff diagnosis was difficult at first, but he was patient and worked with me to find the cause of my pain. The steps to correct my rotary cuff issue was delayed by COVID 19, but him and the staff @ KCBJ worked really hard to get me taken care of. I am so glad that he was in charge of my care. Thanks again "Frozen Shoulder"
