All of the staff, from clerks to nurses, were patient and kind to everyone. They took time for each person, listening to them and explaining things as needed. I'm sure they have to explain the same thing many times every day, but they did it very lovingly.

I had surgery on my meniscus for days ago. This facility made the my whole experience run smoothly considering the the time of the Covid-19. They made sure everything that needed to be done was done. They were informative. All that were involved on surgery day were absolutely professional, kind and with a sense of humor. Highly recommend

The staff is extremely professional. From the time you walk in to the time you leave, everyone explains very clearly what is going to happen, To me that is important. They are very personable. Other surgery centers I've attended through the years I always felt treated like a number. Wouldn't go anywhere else for surgery. I plan on having my other hip done and Mission Valley is my first choice !

The surgery center, the staff and the surgery experience was great for my mom. Everyone is professional, patient and pleasant. The nurses take the time to explain instructions and make sure the patient understands. Thank you everyone and thank you Dr. Cutuk and Dr. Walker

Elite Athletes Should Visit Their Orthopedist Regularly

I wanted to thank the staff at mvhsc for their handling of my rotator cuff surgery. All were very welcoming and supportive which helped ease my mind going into surgery. Juliette provided support throughout creating a personal bond with me which proved reassuring. All the staff were very proficient and operated in a kind manner including Reyna, Jacqueline and Joseph leading into the surgery and Deanna in recovery. Really appreciated the follow-up call by Shannon after the surgery. Just really top-notch. Shout out to Drs. Choy and Tradonsky and tech Brian for the handling of the surgery itself. Couldn't have come out of it any better. And considering how bad the tears were (100% for the supra, 50% for the infra) I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you everyone!
