“Every aspect of the experience was excellent. Going in for rotator cuff surgery makes for a fair amount of anxiety and concern. Dr. Alwattar and his entire staff ushered me into a substantial comfort zone. Information was forthcoming and the resulting peace of mind made the surgery and recovery processes far more calming than I anticipated.” – A. Edlen … [Read more...]

I was seen by Dr Zwahlen in 2008 after suffering an injury during soccer practice in which, it turned out, I had torn 3/4 ligaments in my left knee (ACL, PCL & LCL). Having only been in the US for 1 week on my year of study abroad from the UK, it was a truly harrowing experience and not the way I wished to start my life in the US. From the outset, Dr Zwahlen was empathetic, honest, knowledgeable and safety conscious. All things you need when going through a life changing event. He opted for … [Read more...]

I saw Dr. Murthy for a broken bone in my hand that had split in a way that made it unwise to have it heal without screws. I was extremely happy with the care Dr. Murthy took every step of the way. I always felt heard and she took the time to explain everything. The surgery went beautifully as did my healing. My hand works perfectly with several screws in it. Full strength and dexterity regained much faster than I expected and now, a year and a half later I defy anyone to find the surgery scar on … [Read more...]

I needed carpal metacarpal surgery on my hand and had put it off for as long as I could because 1) I had never had surgery and didn't want any and 2) I was a sponsored professional mountain bike rider and rode 7 days a week twice a week as well as run and strength train and didn't want to give that up for recovery. Finally the pain and swelling in my hand effected riding, working out and work. Dr. Murthy was my surgeon and the only thing I can say is WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG???? The surgery was … [Read more...]

Dr. Zwahlen has replaced both of my knees and one hip. There were also some revisions to a badly injured knee. I recently had an opportunity to visit Machu Picchu in Peru. I’ve never been much of a hiker, but the doctor convinced me that I could do it. So I did! There were 8,000 feet of elevation, uneven stone steps with no railings and absolutely stunning views. High adventure for a 70-year-old patient. Dr. Zwahlen’s optimism is contagious. — Carol M. … [Read more...]

My follow-ups with Dr. Zwahlen are always enlightening. He uses analogies to compare how my shoulder functions. He is an attentive listener, caring and takes much time to address my issues. He has good suggestions for me in order to improve my shoulder function and possible exercises to achieve those movements. He is able to relate how my existing cerebral palsy issues relate to how well my shoulder functions. His final suggestion is to return to my orthopedist, Dr. Gamble, a noted expert in … [Read more...]
