What a great Doctor and staff. My surgery went perfectly and the recovery period was smooth and faster than I anticipated. I highly recommend Dr. Valdivia.

I had my (R) hip replaced by Dr. Valdivia. The procedure was 100% successful. He and his staff are competent and caring. I will need the (L) hip replaced in a few years due to the same service injury. I will have no hesitation to place my care in his hands.

Dr. Valdivia replaced my right hip and I am one satisfied patient. So satisfied Im having him replace the left one. I chose Dr. Valdivia on my own just by reading his qualifactions etc. He is so professional, low key and says it the way it is. Thank you D.r. Valdivia.

Went to him for a second opinion on a total knee replacement originally by Dr O'Brien (another just average Bone Dr.) and he thought it was fine and no reason for pain and inability to walk well if at all. Five years later still the same SOME GOT IT AND SOME DON'T. WANT A TOP NOTCH DOC SEE Dr. George Haidukewych. Dr H fixed most of O'Briens work but even with the problem lessened it still exists.

After much research I decided on Dr. Valdivia for my total knee replacement. I could not be any happier with him or his whole staff. Very caring, efficient, professional. I can not say enough about them!!

I've read some of the other very negative reviews, and I'm sorry that everyone hasn't had the same experience that I have had in this office. I have been coming to Dr. Valdivia for years now. He repaired my shoulder, and has been administering my gel knee injections for a long time. Recently I have been seeing his P.A. Martin, and he has been wonderful as well. Very skilled with the injections, listens to my complaints, and really seems to care. As for his staff, they have never treated me with anything but kindness, and have always been helpful.

That pa he has is arrogant he thinks just cause he has a degree he knows everything he dont know my pain and he thinks women shouldn't speak there mind he also. Used foul language in front of me and that blonde hair nurse she thinks you are a joke and the two together thinks you are lying about your pain .
