I used Dr. Chris Proctor of Alta Orthopaedics with total satisfaction. Here's a website statement: "Through his own athletic participation, Dr. Christopher Proctor understands that his patients want to get back to their normal activities as quickly as possible." Unlike a few other good docs in town, he has a great "bedside manner" rather than an arrogance that can put off many patients. It's important to be 100% comfortable especially with something so serious & potentially life changing. Good luck!

Dr. RYU, hands down. He has taken care of many Olympic athletes as well as scores of pro sports players. He has repaired both my knees and a shoulder. NO complaints, great Dr.

In February of last year I broke my leg and dislocated the ankle. I went to Dr. Shepherd from SB Orthopedic. Everything went so smoothly and I'm on my way to getting back to normal. He handled all of the paperwork required for disability since I couldn't walk for 7 months. It was just a well polished experience and I felt at ease in a great time of stress.
