My second engagement with Star Orthopedic and Dr Ghattas. Efficient and clear. Like old friends. Did not feel rushed or confused regarding my treatment options.
June 24, 2025Anthony B.Verified patient
I was really impressed with both Dr. Ghattas and his PA. They came up with a plan for my treatment that I feel good about. Dr. Ghattas does a great job of explaining the different scenarios.

Appreciated that he took time to walk through things and answer my questions! Very knowledgeable. Feels like so many doctors would rather shut down any questions and move as quickly as possible to the next patient.

Dr. Ghattas was very pleasant, took the time to listen and wasn’t quick to recommend surgery before discussing alternatives. He’s younger than I expected, but very competent and knowledgeable.
