Seems thorough and is willing to make every effort to show me the exact nature of the problem. Seems to want to absolve John Muir hospital of any blame for causing this extreme damage.

Dr. Bader is truly one of the finest surgeons I have ever had. (And I have had many). He repaired my shoulder twice (my fault) and my knee once. Every step of before, during and after care is thorough.
