Patient Reviews
Feb 02, 2025
Dr Preston has to be one of the top orthopedists in the Bay Area. Fixed me twice now - rotator and knee. I’m sure this is why a bunch of sports teams use him. Only negative is he’s popular so prepare to wait. But it’s ok to wait for the best when it’s your body right?I told him after the second time he fixed me - it was fun knowing you and I hope I never have to see you again…because he’s so good
