We have had smooth appointments from scheduling to being seen. Would highly recommend to anyone needing orthopedic care.Posted on Google Hetal Gaglani Had a fall during a ski trip and called Dr Sai's office. His efficiency is commendable as he asked me to get an X-ray given the nature of the injury before the visit to ensure we make the most of the appointment. He takes a lot of time to walk through the diagnosis, explained the different areas impacted with a model and explained in detail the options I had.Posted on Google Rajasekhar K V My Son injured his left hand and Dr. Sai treated well his fracture. He was clear what he needs to do and what not. Taken proper care on urgent visit. Really appreciate Dr. Sai and his team efforts in helping my son recovery.Posted on Google shrilekha Hari I was struck by the ease with which I had scheduled my appointment online . I had a sudden debilitating hip pain and was seen by Dr Sai for the first time and he was very patient in listening to my complaints and he was very conservative about the treatment offered to me and he took me to confidence and gave me a steroid shot and I was feeling the difference the next day itself . I went from hobbling to walking perfectly the next day . I was very impressed with his bed side manners and pleasing personality . I would recommend him to all my friends and family hands down .Posted on Google Bhavini Patel Dr. Sai is extremely compassionate and caring.

Dr. Sai has been an amazing doctor for my husband who has gone to him for golf and tennis elbow. My husband felt that he really listened and cared about helping (he is even trying to make Dr. Sai his PCP). Dr. Sai has online scheduling and really great hours.
He has done an amazing job of analyzing the severity of the situation and providing the right non-invasive long term solution considering the goals, training and timelines!
You've been amazing, all I can say is I don't like Drs. But with Dr. Sai, I will gladly return for follow-up, he makes me feel comfortable, safe knowing that he is kind, professional, knowledgeable, feeling that I was in good hands and knowing that he was taking care of me and my foot, he was kind when he examined the foot and toes. He sure knows what he's doing, another thing I like about him is that he took his time, he didn't rush, he took his time. Thank you
It's nice to feel like they're not just looking after you for the money, but actually care, take the time to make sure that you are taking care properly and give you the best recommendations. (this is very rare these days)
Thank you Dr. Sai, your help has been amazing. I recommend it 100%
He has good knowledge and his suggestions or recommendations are very useful.
