Patient Reviews
Oct 02, 2019
Dr. Alwattar was honest about expectations with my severe muscle damage, and yet kind and reassuring. He was able to schedule me for a complicated hip surgery, two torn muscles, one of them ripped off, months more quickly than over-scheduled surgeons at UCSF. He was able to repair and reattach the muscles. I had no problem with infection, and my scar is healing cleanly. He's been vigilant with followup checkups and generous with PT prescriptions, first with home PT, and now outpatient. I'm off the walker, using a cane, and have started to go out to performances and take walks. I'm so thankful for his help!
