Dr. Edward Lyons Cahill, MD

Thank you Dr Cahill for treating me and my knees !! That’s what you do, to treat the problem and treat the patient’s apprehension!! I must have taken more time than any other patient with my multiple questions re: surgery. Very caring orthopedic physician who surgically replaced my left knee in 2016. And many thanks to Dr Cahill for noticing my left finger problem during my office visit with DR. He immediately asked DR Lin to examine my finger which needed immediate attention surgically, or it may have never been back to normal. Thank you to my professional Surgeons on putting me back together. High Five to both!!

My shoulder surgery changed my life!

I would not recommend this orthopedic physician to anyone. Although he was nice during the initial visit, I am not exactly sure what happened that changed his bedside manner for the worse during the last two office visits. As soon as he became flustered or agitated with something the patient was telling him, he began to come off rude and was disrespectful in his tone of voice and actions during both visits-he has very little patience. Also, it is quite evident that the focus for him is to make money versus comprehensively treat or help his patients. In order to fill out a two-page functional capacity questionnaire for a disability claim, which had simple check-off multiple-choice items and was 10 questions long, he required payment of $200 dollars up-front in order to fill out the document at the end of the day or when he had time. Absolutely ridiculous because this same form was filled out by a primary care physician who knew his patient just as well in about 5-10 minutes at no… charge! If you are searching for an orthopedic physician to treat your condition instead of look for tests, paperwork, and physical problems to profit from, I highly suggest a different physician, with better customer service skills. We will not be going back to Dr. Cahill or Alpine Orthopedic Group, as the office staff is very unfriendly as well. FYI: I understand physicians are fed up with people applying for disability due to fake complaints and health problems, but it is not fair to put all patients applying for disability into this category. There are some people out there who really need the assistance of such programs, with my family member being one of those people in need. In addition, as someone in the healthcare field myself; I have learned first and foremost that all patients should be treated with respect and without bias or judgment. Ultimately the problem may come down to health care reform, but that does not excuse this physicianâ??s bedside manner.

Excellant surgeon. Has excellant skills especially when there are unknown complications during hip replacement surgery.
