Dr. Huang & staff were very attentive. Now that I'm farther along things have definitely improved. My range of motion has increased significantly and my pain has also improved. I am very happy with my care. I knew that HE was going to be able to fix me from the moment I walked into his office & saw all the athletes pics
hanging on the wall thanking him for a job well done, it was very impressive. My experience here was Awesome. Everyone has been very knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive. Thank you doc! I'm grateful for your hard work & will never forget you!

My husband had hip surgery this February. Dr Huang and his staff were wonderful! Everybody was very knowledgeable and professional and kind! The nursing staff that took care of him after surgery was also amazing.
My husband has returned to most of his normal activities already and is feeling great!

I saw Dr. Huang regarding some issues that I was having with arthritis. He was very personable and spent time explaining my test results. He was a good listener and answered my questions. Dr. Huang had a measured approach and didn't try to encourage surgery, explaining it wasn't warranted. I will definitely return to him for follow-up care if needed.

Dr Huang performed labral reconstruction on my hip- as an athlete and someone who wants to maximize my health and opportunities, it was imperative I get back to sport and have the best potential outcome. I met with several ortho surgeons and am so grateful I chose Dr Huang- I have had an amazing recovery and very confident I will be back stronger than ever, even ahead of schedule. He also has a great bedside manner, is honest and realistic without being harsh or unfeeling, and is truly skilled at what he does. I am deeply grateful for him and his team!

Dr. Huang came highly recommended to me when I tore three of the four ligaments in my knee. Three years after surgery, my knee is 100%. I recently took my son Dr. Huang after he strained his shoulder in baseball. I have complete trust and faith in Dr. Huang and his office. I give them the highest recommendation.

My visit with Dr Michael Huang was more than I expected. He more than met my expectations. He listened to all my needs and expressed his concerns about my issues from his evaluation of me and what he had read in my chart. He also had some very good insights and input as to what could be causing my issues. I was very pleased with his evaluation .
Highly recommend Dr Haung.

Dr Huang did 3 of my surgeries over the last 10 yrs - labral repair of hip, labral repair of my left shoulder, & then right shoulder labral repair, rotator cuff repair, & removing large calcium deposits from my tendons. I believe he's one of the best in the nation. He knows what he's doing and to top it off, he's really nice! Thank you!

Dr. Huang is a sharp doc who knows what he’s doing, but also very personable and approachable. He’s current with tools and techniques and has a comfortable office and surgery center. The only challenge I encountered was scheduling appts each step of the way; it sometimes took up to a couple of weeks and numerous voicemails with his staff in order to get a response and move to the next step (consult—MRI—review of MRI—surgery). It was about five months from initial appt until surgery simply because of that issue. I’d still highly recommend the doc and his team for getting a critical job done well.

I showed up at 9:45am for a 10:15 appt, got in early, took X-rays, spoke with Dr Huang and was out of there at 10:50. In that time Dr Haung also explained everything in detail. Can’t wait for him to perform my surgery and be free of pain. Thanks.

Dr. Huang completed a total hip replacement (anterior approach) with fantastic early results. I’m two weeks out and already moving well and nearing the end of using a cane. He also has a very thorough evaluation and explanation and is patient, answering all questions. I highly recommend him.
