Dr Meredick is an amazing surgeon. I had both my shoulders done and my right hip. He is compassionate and caring. The owens valley is so fortunate to have him. Thank-you Dr. Meredick

Dr Richard Meredick should stick with cortisone injections and joint braces. He did a total knee replacement which led to vascular surgery in LA due to the clamp being left on too long. He was sooo sorry as I was left with a huge loss of time, money and additional scars on my leg. I gave him one star because he photographs well

Dr. Meredick is a compassionate doctor. From the minute I was sent to see him he took good care of me. Dr. Meredick was concerned with my pain after the surgery and sent me home with this machine to keep my knee moving. All I can say is Thank You for ordering that machine, because with the pain medicine it made it all bearable. If I ever need to have the other knee done, or my hip I will go to him for it. You couldn't ask for a better surgeon who will take care of you.
