The longest part of my wait time simply filling out the paperwork! The staff was incredibly nice, attentive & helpful! They knew my needs before I even asked. As far as Dr. Aruna he was straight to the point, fully explained all details to my ailment and absolutely no language barriers, total leyman's terms and very informative on after care and all future possibilities. Didn't feel rushed and made me feel comfortable and helped distract me from any pain by explaining whats going on and providing something to look at during the procedure which helped get my mind off of the pain and any nervous thoughts!!!

Excellent doctor with superb knowledge of orthopedics. I feel lucky to have gotten him in my emergency surgery for my broken ankle. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic doctor.
They were really great at the office. Their attentiveness was detailed and the general vibe was very welcoming, it felt like we all knew each other. A very comforting environment.

Excellent, excellent doctor. My knee was bothering me, and he was caring, took the time to explain everything, and answered all of my most annoying questions. I would certainly recommend him to any of my friends in need of an orthopedic surgeon. =)
