Providers and staff are amazing. They go the extra mile to make sure their patients are taken care of.

Dr. Bawa is the best! This was my 4th spinal surgery, but the first with him. I am a new man and can’t thank him enough for all he did to rejuvenate me and my life!

Love my Doctors! Joey and Dr.Dodge are amazing. And Dawn is always on top of it. Great care by everyone. They fought for me to have surgery and have cared for me every step of the way.

This is one of the best orthopedic groups in San Diego. Their office staff is great and the physicians are all very caring and have great patient outcomes. Highly recommend!

This is a place that makes you feel at home and treats you like family. Dr Dodge is great at his profession along with assistant Dawn. I wouldn’t change my Doctor if they paid me.
