Dr. Guenther Olaf Knoblich, MD

Dr. Guenther O Knoblich is the worse knee doctor I know. 16 years ago he tried to repair a torn ACL in my right knee. He used screws and brackets for an ACL! A week later it detached. I had to get an attorney to find me a good doctor to repair my knee. Knoblich had attached my ACL the wrong way. It took 2 more surgeries to repair his mistake. He is terrible. He doesn't listen. I also had a bad popping noise in my knee, and he said he wasn't worried about that. So I wouldn't recommend him to repair my dog. This was when he was a surgeon for Kaiser. I had the surgery done in a cold clammy room in Hayward, CA.

Terrible!!!

He's all ways done a extent job and treated me with respect

fixed up a very bad left shoulder. The 'Gunthmeister' is cutting edge and stays abreast all the latest technology. He diagnoses without an MRI better than other doctors with one.

Efficient, ethical and responsible surgeon. Highly recommend.

I had been instructed to keep ankle above heart, and do minimal movement, such as going to restroom for a week. After a week, went to see Dr. Knoblich and complained about swelling, and he suggested physical therapy. After another 1-2 weeks went back complaining about more swelling and a breathing attack. I wanted to know why a family member that had the same operation by another physician, was able to return to work after 4 days, but my recovery was so poor. Not until I had concerns that I may have had a PE, he finally agreed to have an ultrasound performed. The ultrasound confirmed a blood clot in my thigh. I feel that there is a good chance that I would not be alive today to write this review if I had not been so persistent in having my questions asked. I felt that because I signed a document acknowledging that blood clots and PE's could occur and that I agreed not to hold the physician at fault, that perhaps he may have been unconcerned. I wished I would have researched… complications and recovery on my own before surgery, because this physician was not forthcoming unless questioned by me.
