Testimonials

“First visit to this office. I liked the way the office was run. The assistant and Dr. Ocel were great. I love that you have a tablet to fill in your information. Much easier, and faster.”

“Clean, efficient, well-managed practice. Kudos to your group. Docs who run on time are like unicorns – and to find one with a kind bedside manner AND skills – wow. Great job Cornerstone and Dr. Ocel.”

“While on vacation, I tore my left rotator cuff getting luggage off of a carousel. When I went in for my first consultation at Cornerstone with a surgeon, I was barely using my left arm. I could not use my shoulder for any weight bearing activities. The surgeon I saw suggested that before we explore surgical options, I should see Dr. Caballes to discuss non-surgical options. Dr. Caballes looked at my injury and thought I would be a good candidate for PRP therapy, followed by physical therapy. He thoroughly explained the procedure and answered all of my questions. He explained the costs that my insurance would not cover, so there were no surprises. Compared to other PRP providers that I looked into, Dr. Caballes is substantially more affordable. He and his staff took great care of me and the day of the procedure went smoothly. The end result is that I have complete range of motion and no pain in my shoulder. I was able to return to weight lifting in the gym and gardening in the backyard. I got my shoulder back with no surgery.”

“Dr. Weber and his team were awesome and the most professional staff I have worked with. They all have an Esprit de corps about them and I for one hope that others come and see them as I will recommend their services.”

“Dr. Gallizzi I’ve followed throughout the past few years. I would rather not have anyone other than Michael Gallizzi and Heather Duncan working on and with me.”

“Really awesome experience. After years of pain, I was finally properly diagnosed and given a treatment plan for my knee. I believe the problem was handled in one appointment! But, I do plan to see Dr. Weber again, hopefully he can help with my shoulder. I am very confident in his ability.”

“Dr. Ciccone helped explain the extent of my injury and has helped manage my expectations on the recovery timeline, which is very important to me. Understanding the lengthy recovery timeline is important so I don’t expect a faster recovery than what is probable.”

“I was referred to Cornerstone Orthopaedics by my primary care doctor for my knee surgery in May 2007. He had used Cornerstone for his shoulder surgery. I felt if my doctor trusts Cornerstone to perform his surgery, then I’d use them for my knee surgery. I had a very positive experience with my knee surgery in May 2007 and when I injured my other knee in August of 2010, I didn’t even consider using any other practice for my knee surgery and specifically asked for Dr. Mann, again.”

“The Cornerstone staff explained everything very thoroughly and made sure that I knew the treatments were my choice, giving me reasons why they thought any particular action was the best way to go.”

“Dr. Ocel is warm, friendly, caring, and personable; he smiled a lot, and showed great enthusiasm over my progress. He has a fun sense of humor and took time to show and explain x-rays very thoroughly. He summarized my injury history, current status and future needs, and gave very helpful specific tips at specific stages (i.e. suggested driving with a flip-flop when the boot was removed…Great idea!). He was willing to be flexible and resourceful and to trust me when issues came up (i.e. replaced cast early with boot.. thank you! Thank you! – Worked out great!) I think the world of Dr. Ocel and admire his high level of quality expertise as well as the humanly/professional way with which he carries and presents himself.”

“Dr. Hsin was absolutely wonderful. As a veteran, I’ve become accustomed to terrible treatment at the VA for the past 6 years or so, and being able to get outsourced to a non-VA facility for my shoulder surgery was such a breath of fresh air. He was extremely professional yet had a great sense of humor, which made the dynamic a very comfortable one to be in. I hope I don’t break another bone, but if I did, he’d be my number one choice, hands down! Very approachable and detail oriented. I’m very happy that he was assigned to be my surgeon.”

“Front office staff were very attentive and had a good sense of humor. In a medical facility, humor is a must because laughter is the best medicine! They set a great first impression.”

“Dr. Eickmann with the help of Erika Quane showed remarkable knowledge, experience and a deep sense of caring about their patients and their chosen area of surgery. They were kind and helped me relax by showing me not only professionalism, but a sense of humor that I truly appreciated. My quick recovery from my hip replacements (2 in 3 months) is without a doubt a direct result of Dr. Eickmann’s expertise in surgery and his dedication to providing the absolute best care he possibly can. I could not be happier with my surgeries and the care I received at Cornerstone. Thank you all… you have changed my life!”

“Dr. Wolf, Dr. Caballes, and the MAs were great. They took the time to listen and explain everything so I felt very comfortable with my treatment. The facilities were nice and I was seen promptly. I’m very happy with my overall experience and will be returning should I need any further care.”

“I have been working in healthcare for over 35 years and have exceedingly high expectations for doctors and their team members. This was an excellent experience and I highly recommend Cornerstone Orthopaedics, Dr. Caballes, and their team. I am impressed by the non-surgical treatment options available and Dr. Caballes’ communication. I am all for conservative treatment and hope that is all I will need for quite some time.”

“Dr. Hsin has a calm and confident bedside manner. He thoroughly explained my injury and how it is treated. He smiled and looked at me while speaking to me. He used a sense of humor as well. He asked me questions about the accident and listened well.”

“Dr. Castro is an awesome surgeon. He tells you exactly what he sees with the injury and what exactly will help you. I have found with talking to Cornerstone staff, and the staff at the hospital that Dr. Castro only does surgery when it will benefit the patient and that is nice to find in a surgeon.”

“I was very impressed with Dr. Kruse. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and explained his finding from the ultrasound with me and involved me on the decision-making about my treatment.”
