PATIENT PERSPECTIVES
“Dr. Petrie is unquestionably one of the premier shoulder surgeons in Orange County. As a physician myself, I am very particular about whom I choose as a surgeon. From bedside manner to surgical expertise and comprehensive follow-up, not only Dr. Petrie but his whole team is exceptional.”
SHOULDER PATIENT
“I went to see three orthopedic surgeons, and your experience, great way of educating patients, and ability to create a clear game plan for the best outcome made the decision very easy. I also appreciated your post-surgery calls to ensure I was doing okay. That meant a lot.”
ACL & MENISCUS PATIENT
“I injured my left knee and thought for sure it was another meniscus tear, surgery, and months to get back to normal. Dr. Petrie completed a thorough evaluation and determined it was a sprain that needed physical therapy to heal. I was very lucky to see him and would recommend him to anyone.”
