I cannot say enough great things about my orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Alireza T. Alijani. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in excellent hands. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain every detail of my treatment plan for my broken arm in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. His skill and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and I always felt like my care was his top priority.

Not only is he an outstanding surgeon, but he also shows genuine compassion and respect for his patients. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions thoroughly, and provided reassurance when I needed it most. Thanks to his excellent care, my recovery has been smooth, and I feel incredibly grateful to have been under his care.

If you are looking for an orthopedic surgeon who combines exceptional medical expertise with professionalism and compassion, I highly recommend him.

After falling and breaking my wrist, I was referred to Dr Alijani. While my surgery is not until next Tuesday (as the swelling needs to subside), I could not be happier with his professionalism. He carefully reviewed the X-rays with me and then explained the recommended procedure with detail and compassion. I left the appointment feeling confident I was in good hands and all would be well.

I was referred to Dr. Alijani for some issues with pain in my hands and fingers. He was very helpful and explained some of the procedures used to evaluate and resolve the issue.
I had carpal tunnel and trigger finger surgery on both hands. The first in December of 2024 and the second in January 2025. Both went well. I no longer have pain from carpal tunnel in either hand.
Dr. Alijani and his staff are very professional, informative, and polite. I highly recommend him.

Priya C.
Went for issues with tingling numb hands. Had a good experience with Dr Alijani. He was patient, listened well to my concerns, answered all my questions, and gave me good advice.
Renee T.
I think the doctor is extremely knowledgeable. And maybe that knowledge and expertise is the reason for my experience, but, my only gripe is that the doctor didn't take a lot of time determining what triggered the pain I was experiencing. For example, he didn't know that merely holding my lightweight coat caused extreme pain. And I had to tell him that I have a large aggressive dog, that he found to be the cause of my tendonitis pain. There unfortunately, was no effort to try to figure out what, in my lifestyle might have triggered or caused the problem. That made me feel very overlooked...how can you tell me what not to do without some knowledge of what I'm doing day-to-day that might be causing the issue?? BUT I want to stress that I also feel like I was well taken care of in terms of having x-rays and having an assistant take down my symptoms. The staff was very nice and the doc was very knowledgeable.
Douglas J.
Dr. Alijani. Was very forward what to expect. I was very pleased with the outcome. Thank you very much. Sincerely Douglas A JONES. WILL recommend his office to anyone in the future.
