DAVID W FABI, MD - SAN DIEGO ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIATES MEDICAL GROUP REVIEWS
After much research I went with Dr. David Fabi for my total hip replacement with the anterior approach. From the initial interview with Dr Fabi and his wonderful patient manner, I decided to go ahead with him as my surgeon. I can not express enough the excellent care, skill and after care with not only Dr. Fabi but Scripps Mercy Hospital. I made an excellent recovery in good time and will be planning for my right hip surgery with Dr. Fabi in the next few months. He came highly recommended and without any doubt, would recommend David Fabi and his team to anyone.
I have been a patient of Dr. Fabi for around 15 years. You clearly know when you have landed the BEST in his practice. I have spent my career in the public eye and had to deal with some troublesome knee problems and pain. I credit him for making sure I felt my best and could do it with confidence. I recently had a successful knee surgery and it’s because of his consistent caring, expertise and commitment along with his wonderful staff that I am a life long patient. Everything starts at the front door and when you have a doctor that you highly trust and respect that definitely means a lot. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone reading. We are all looking for the BEST in care and that’s Dr. David Fabi hands down.
Good experience from start to finish with an anterior hip replacement surgery. The office staff was helpful and available. The office visits were prompt and efficient. The on-site X-ray facility allowed immediate review and analysis of the hip problem. Dr. Fabi is tops. My recovery was remarkable. I was walking in 2 days, driving in a week, and back in the gym in 2 weeks. Bravo!

DAVID CHAO, MD - OASISMD LIFESTYLE HEALTHCARE REVIEWS
Finally found a doctor who could quickly and accurately diagnose an injury. Dr. Chao was direct and thorough, while still being very pleasant and personable. Very quick service, too. Not only was I able to schedule an appointment within a few days of my call, it only took about an hour to see the doctor, get xrays, and then receive the diagnosis. Only downside was that they don't accept my insurance, so I paid out of pocket (but I felt their charges were completely reasonable). That being said, it was still probably cheaper than all the co pays I would have had to pay if I went to my primary care, then they'd have to refer me to pt, then to a specialist, then xrays and maybe MRI....and I would have wasted so much time. I highly recommend Dr. Chao. I just wish I had found him earlier.
Dr. David Chao and his staff are amazing. This is the second injury he has helped me with. Both of them were as successful as possible. I would highly recommend him for any orthopedic issues. His experience is second to none and his results show it.
I had ACL repair and meniscus and I am thrilled w my post surgery recovery and his care, he is an excellent surgeon and the best there is really. All my other friends and athletes have highly recommended Dr Chao. I will be able to fully recover and play sports again thanks to him.

MARK SCHULTZEL, MD - ORTHOPEDIC MEDICAL GROUP OF SAN DIEGO INC. REVIEWS
I went to Dr Schultzel for a 2nd opinion after 8mos of having an ankle reconstruction. I still had hardware in me. My original surgeon was overly confident that his surgery was perfect. But I was still in pain with limited mobility compared to before the surgery. I also had constant swelling. My surgeon wouldn't listen to me & pretty much told me his surgery was perfect, he didn't know what was wrong with me. Dr Schultzel listened, was compassionate, had a solution to remove the hardware & get back to physical therapy. Best move I ever made! Since the hardware removal all the pain I had is gone, I don't have the swelling or any of the other symptoms. I'm just now starting physical therapy & I'm doing so much better! I highly recommend him. And he always has the nicest disposition too! Nice to see a doctor with a smile on his face every time!
Favorite doctor ever! I cannot say enough about how kind, compassionate, and professional Dr. Schultzel is. When I ruptured my Achilles tendon, I was not in a good place. He was such a calming presence; I knew I was going to be just fine as soon as he introduced himself. He got me into surgery ASAP and has been immediately available throughout my recovery; he even responded to a text on a Saturday! I look forward to my follow-up appointments; he and his office staff are incredible. Thank you, Doc! I am forever grateful I ended up at your office.
My experience with Dr. Schultzel has been wonderful. He is professional positive, sincere with a great sense of humor, that put me at ease. I had a severe dog bite on my right hand that required urgent surgery and effective treatment post-surgery. I mentioned to him, I have never had surgery Dr. Schultzel communicated clearly, put me at ease, treated me with urgency, compassion, and care. His support staff/team are all knowledgeable, effective, friendly, and very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Schultzel to anyone.
