I was an ortho nurse for five years dr Danton Dungy is the best!
Adam W. replied:
Dr. Michael Lee is the Dbacks ortho doc. He is really good! Maybe hard to get an appointment with but worth the wait. Have you tried any formal rehab? We offer free consultations at our clinic

Who knows a good orthopedic doctor in North Scottsdale who specializes in chicken wings (aka shoulders)?!
Bob L. replied:
Richard Peairs, MD 602-971-7073 Excellent shoulder and knee ortho
Tommy C. replied:
If not Dr. Peairs, check out The Orthpaedic Clinic Associates (TOCA). They are sports injury specialists. Highly recommended for target injury areas.
Beth K. replied:
Dr Mattalino did my brother's rotator cuff and is about to repair his knee. I know others that used him as well.
James S. replied:
Dr. Wiener did my wrist...good to go now w some titanium
Frankie L. replied:
Dr Yacobucci at TOCA.
Robin M. replied:
Gary Weiner did both my rotator cuff surgeries. He's near Scottsdale Osborne, near Old Town.
JD B. replied:
I second Dr Zeman, he is amazing, Ive used him personally.
Mary K. replied:
ASMC. They have an entire team of docs, so each has a different specialty. Dr. Amit did Dan Beaver shoulder surgery, and Dr. Hill did his Achille's. Highly recommended.
Jack G. replied:
Dr Douglas Clouse he is not in Scottsdale but he is the best orthopedic doctor in Arizona for shoulders and knees. He has replaced both my shoulders and both knees and I have 100% range of motion and no pain. He is located in Gilbert on Val Vista south of the 202!!!
Emily L. replied:
Dr Gary Weiner, he's a mountain biker who does car accidents/trauma on the regular at Scottsdale Osborn! When I broke my humerus snowboarding, 3 orthos turned me down and Dr Weiner said "this is kind of boring for me". One plate,12 screws, and 2 surgeries later, I have full range in my arm back.

I used Dr Feng at TOCA for a dislocated shoulder and a collar bone broken into 7 pieces and have been very happy
ISO a referral for a good orthopedic doctor preferably one that specializes in the knee.
Colleen M. replied:
David Camarata - Arizona Bone & Joint Specialists602-493-9361. He just operated on me and I'm doing GREAT!
Elisabeth S. replied:
Dr. Evangelista in scottsdale is awsome, not sure his specialty ( other than Ortho)
Kirsten M. replied:
Dr. Bailie at TOCA Elizabeth Haber Kalinichenko
Colleen M. replied:
Dr. Camarata does more "complex revision cases" (those that were messed up by other Surgeons) all across the country, than any other surgeon. He also teaches his technique to other Surgeons. Ok now I'll stop. Good luck, Lauren. I first messed my knee up at 15 and it has never been the same. The total knee replacement I just had (at only 49 years young) was my 4 th surgery.
Andrea W. replied:
Tim went to TOCA and saw Dr Chhabra and he was amazing!
Kirsten M. replied:
Yes, Kerrie Hunziker for Lauren.
Colleen M. replied:
Dr. Camarata does his surgeries at Oasis Hospital and that place is like a freekin' resort! Seriously! And, much less expensive, too.
Elizabeth K. replied:
Dr Cory Nelson or dr Robert Mileski.
Kirsten M. replied:
Kelly Hunziker Boyea she's still having issues since her surgery a year and a half ago. Surgeon all but told her the pain she has is all in her head.
Need a good and close by orthopedic doctor, any recommendations
Cyndi M. replied:
Dr Bruns at Ortho Arizona. 2 offices. Closest on Bell
Angela M. replied:
We have 5 campus. The closest to here is 7400 Thompson Peak Pkwy. From Pima you go right on Thompson Peak and down almost to Scottsdale Rd. It's on the Right side. It's not lit up like a hospital. I've worked all across the country doing travel trauma nursing and SHC now Honor Health is the best company. That's definitely the only place I'd bring my family. People go to just eat at the Thompson Peak hospital cause the food is so good! I can't say enough good about them
Wendy D. replied:
Stefan Tarlow or Eric Dean.
Angela M. replied:
All ortho's at Scottsdale Healthcare are great!! They have offices on Thompson peak/Scottsdale As a Healthcare provider, I would NOT go to Mayo
Carol K. replied:
Husband had both left & right total knee replacement (3 months apart) by James Caillouette, also an "Orthopaedic God" in Newport Beach. He did recommend Theodore Firestone in the event we didn't want to make the trek to OC. Guess the "Gods "travel together
Friends--I need recommendations for an great orthopedist, please! Regular doctor was not able to determine ripped cartilage or ligaments in my knee via x-ray. :(
