“Very professional, competent and helpful. She considered my needs with great care and understanding. Also the secretary was uncommonly kind. She visited me ahead of time as I arrived earlier. ”

“Dr. Didinger has been very helpful. I have been dealing with back pain for a long time and have never been able to get to the bottom of it. She is giving me confidence that I can more so than any other doctor I've seen.
She is very articulate in explaining whatever questions I ask. Also, I don't feel like she's trying to rush me out the door when I am asking the questions, she wants to make sure all my thoughts have been heard.
Her staff are very friendly and helpful and I haven't had to sit in the waiting room a single time so far. I highly recommend going to her for your orthopedic needs. ”

Dr. Didinger and the entire front office staff were all kind, efficient and really nice to work with. Dr. Didinger listened and asked thorough questions to get a sense of my history and was very clear about next steps and what I can expect moving forward. I would highly recommend her and this practice. The front office staff went the extra mile to help me get set up with an x-ray and recommended a place that I could walk in to save time.

Dr. Didinger is the best orthopedic surgeon an athlete could ask for. She’s incredibly thorough in her approach, taking time to understand every detail of your injury and recovery process. Her knowledge is truly unmeasurable, and her passion for helping athletes return to peak performance sets her apart. Simply put, she’s the best California has to offer, especially if you’re an athlete looking for expert care and results you can trust.

I thought I was going to see a surgeon. That was not the case. Now I am worried that my insurance will get used up before I get the proper care. I have to park across a large busy street in order to see the doctor, the parking deal is LAME to put it lightly. I feel like I am already on Medicare when I am not, shuffled here and there while my condition gets worse.
May 23, 2025Sheldon P.Verified patient
The diagnosis was quick and accurate, and what impressed me most was her commitment to exploring preventative treatments before jumping to surgical options. It’s clear she prioritize long-term wellness over quick fixes. I felt listened to and genuinely cared for throughout the office visit. Highly recommend!

Dr Didinger is amazing. Knowledgeable, attentive, caring with a great personality that eases your concerns and nerves. She listened, examined and gave me a very clear picture of what she thought with a plan for tests to make sure. I’m very lucky to have her guiding me on this health journey. In addition, her office team is a delight. They provided us with all the follow up info we needed per the doctor’s instructions and were kind, professional and caring.

I had a wonderful experience at Doctor Tracy Didinger’s office. From the moment I walked in, the staff (Linda, Marya )was friendly, efficient, and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Didinger took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and showed genuine care and compassion. The office is clean, well-organized, and appointments run on time. I truly feel well cared for and confident in the treatment I receive here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent medical care!
May 10, 2025Hoory M.Verified patient
While Dr. Didinger seems excellent, the administrative aspects of this practice have been disappointing. I experienced several issues right off the bat--being double-charged for my co-pay (strangely with two different amounts), having to follow up over the phone to receive my receipt via email, and repeatedly checking on the status of my MRI referral--which the imaging center confirmed they never received. Despite the doctor's apparent quality, these shortcomings unfortunately lead me to seek care elsewhere with a practice I can trust to properly manage these admin aspects of patient care.

Great experience. Very knowledgable, helpful and reassuring throughout. I had a lot of questions and Dr Didinger answered them all, creating a plan to get more information when needed and crafting a clear route ahead for how to address my issues. Nothing but good things to say. The same goes for the staff and overall ease of the visit / process.

Super lovely experience! I came in with a hand injury and Dr. Tracey Didinger diagnosed my injury and reassured me that it was only minor and gave me next steps and encouragement. I would definitely see her again for my sport injuries. Extremely warm doctor and very nice office.

Who do you call when you need an orthopedic surgeon? DR DIDINGER OF COURSE. Dr Didinger took the time to truly listen and get to the bottom of my injury- and then tailored a recovery plan to fit my lifestyle. Not only do I look forward to our visits, but I know I’m in the best hands because of the care and attention she provides. I love the matter of fact way she breaks things down, and the love she shows everyone. You can tell she’s a gem of a doctor who truly deeply wants the best for her patients. 10/10 - no notes (she’s perfect).

Dr. Didinger is amazing and definitely passionate about her work. You can tell in her curiosity of recovery and also in why she explains things in why things are the way they are. Super knowledgeable and I appreciate that. She’s also to the point and very professional but also adds some bedside humor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Dr. Didinger is everything. I love her assertiveness and blunt bedside manor because where that comes from is she truly wants the best outcome for you. I totally understand her. She is a vibe. And I vibe I stand by. I hope I never have to have another knee surgery but if I do she will be on speed dial. 10/10 recommend
More than 1 year agoLM
Dr. Didinger was very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and answers any questions you may have. She even took the time to follow up personally after my procedure. Getting older and trying to maintain an active lifestyle, knowing a good doctor you can trust is imperative. Dr. Didinger will be the one i call. Highly recommend.
