I explained the source of my knee pain to Dr.Nam.He listened. He understood. He respected my thinking, verified for himself with x-rays and proceeded to take measures that immediately remedied the pain. He’s brilliant and compassionate.He’s a surgeon but he’s helping me think of long term non surgical solutions with great ideas. I’m thankful!

Doctor Nam and his PA Moran operated on my clavicle fracture. Due to the nature of the break we decided it would be best to screw in a metal plate on top of the bone, which would ideally be left in the body, even after the bone healed. Your life may change for months. Just do what they say and follow the treatment. The secretary Barb was very helpful with paperwork and phone calls. After about 6 months from my accident I am back to throwing weights around in the gym. Take it slow. Youre in good hands.

I had my right total knee replacement six months ago. What is the best thing I ever did. Dr. Nam is the best surgeon in the world. I would recommend him to anybody!

Cant compliment Dr. Nam, Megan the PA, and his team enough! Last year Ellis repaired my torn rotator cuff, bicep tendon, and labrum. Surgery went very well, and because of that, physical therapy flew by. This year I broke my collarbone and Dr. Nams team put me back together again. Highly recommend Dr. Ellis Nam for any of your orthopedic surgery or sport medicine needs.

Ive been to both Dr. Nams offices and want to give a thumbs up to Barb (his Secretary) and Megan the PA - both are just wonderful. The quick communication and skill set are so appreciated. I found Dr. Nam to be very thorough and patient. I had to reschedule do to the pandemic so finally went in today and felt quite comfortable particularly with all the precautions. With both appointments I was ushered in right on schedule. Id highly recommend this group. My last knee surgery was a bit of a disaster with one extremely rough and rude surgeon then after shopping around I finally settled on an ok surgeon so this is definitely exceeding my expectations. I appreciate everyone on staff attending to our pains and non urgent medical needs - as its still scary out there.

Excellent clinician--he performed several procedures during a surgery I had with him a few months ago and the results were outstanding. He took time before and after the procedure to discuss with me what I could expect during the initial recovery and what I should be doing and also avoiding. Ive had 3 follow up visits with him (in addition to a few months of physical therapy) and he has been quite detailed and thorough, carefully checking his records and then speaking with me and physically checking my shoulder to understand the status. My progress has been faster than anticipated and it is a pleasure to use my arm in ways I have not been able to for years. He is always very polite and enjoyable to speak with and I cannot recommend him highly enough. The staff during the surgery were also highly professional, caring, and attentive.

Great Doc. i had a very inopportune Achilles tear and needed to stand in my own wedding in 5 weeks. Dr. Nam scheduled me right away (consultation was on Wednesday evening and i was in surgery Friday morning). I was able to walk by the time of my wedding (on sand no less) and was pain free for the most part. 10 out of 10 i would go to him again (although i hope i dont have to)

Dr. Nam is awesome. He repaired my ruptured achilles tendon last year. This is the second time Ive done it, but on another leg. This time, the incision was much smaller.

This was our first time visiting Dr.Nam and trust me this was our last! I took my mother for her appointment and was never seen. I took the day off to take her to her appointment only to be told to reschedule. She had some issues she wanted to address with the doctor but Dr. Nams response was next time. I really felt so disrespected and I really felt Dr. Nam didnt care to take care of my mother. I would hate to think that race or the type of insurance my mother has had anything to do with it, but thats exactly how it felt. We caught a glimpse of the Doctor from a distance as he attended another patient, but thats the most we saw of him.

I had a torn acl and meniscal tears on my right knee for 6 years without knowing. Dr Nam and his team did an amazing job. Not only is the patience there but also all the little details to make sure your healing process is going smooth. I had this done in April 2016 and now were in June 2016 and Im almost at 100%. Just have to continue doing the strengthening exercises that my awesome therapist has me doing on my knee so I can play sports by October. I highly recommend Dr Nam.

Very rude, rushed visits, wants you out in 5-10 min. He told me that he has no idea of what I have but I should go to ask his colleague for a second opinion...
