Patient Reviews
Aug 07, 2022
Dr. Contreras scoped my right knee 3 years age with great results that changed my life. Hurt left knee 2 weeks ago chasing my dog and he got me right in for a check up within 2 days of my call. Office staff was great on check in. We discussed what happened, had x-rays quickly and set up MRI appointment for what will really show the exact problem. He fitted me with a knee brace since my knee was slipping. This cut down on the pain instantly before I left his office. I will have him repair my left knee as soon as I can get worked into his schedule. As a general contractor in the bay area for 39 years, I ask my customers to let me know what went well and also if there is anything we need to work on. I write very few reviews, however, when someone is this good at their job, combined with his knowledge, I wanted to let other people who might fear having surgery to get it done and move on with quality of life again.
