Patient Testimonials

Excellent Surgeon, Dr McMastershelped me with a Ripped HAMSTRING Muscle....And to this day, you would never guess it. I move squat and bend...AND NO LIMP any more....Thank You, Dr McMaster❣
No regrets...❤

When I was 13(in 1991) I was diagnosed with lumbar scoliosis. Sadly it grew worse before my freshman year and was threatening my life. Dr Mcmaster took care of me before the surgery, but also I felt secure in knowing he was doing my surgery. Back surgery is not easy. And I had a allergic reaction to medicine after the surgery almost costing me my life. Through it all Dr Mcmaster took care of me and my recovery , and I am grateful!

He spent a lot of time with me. Was conservative in treatment. Followed up with me and was a very nice person. Would highly recommend

Dr McMaster has been my orthopedic dr since 1971

Very efficient check in and information gathering prior to seeing Dr Yang. He answered all my questions in layman's terms. I was very pleased.

Dr. Yang and his staff were friendly and professional. Dr. Yang was very thorough and I did not feel like I was being rushed to get finished with the appointment.

great organization, kept continuing with intake whilst waiting for radiology to open. Well run clinic from my perspective.

Hi. The appointment went fine. I think everything was well. I just have a problem with authorization. We have to do a retro authorization to Dr. Yang has to do because otherwise I'll get stuck paying for it. There was some kind of a mess up and you guys didn't catch it and I can't pay it, I'm a senior on, on a fixed income. I don't have any money for appointments on my insurance, should cover the whole thing. So please check on that for me, please. And get the doctor to do a retro authorization. Please, please, I can't afford to pay for this appointment, and I wasn't supposed to. Thank you.

Dr. Yang is knowledgeable, professional and considerate. he answered all my questions and was thorough. I like him very much. Thank you Dr. Yang.

Dr. Learned and his team have done an amazing job. I am very grateful for the help I've received from uci.

Dr. Learned was very informative with each visit and took the time to explain the procedure performed. His level of interest in ensuring my healing progress was extremely appreciative and reassured with a follow up. Appreciate all the care I have received from this office from nursing staff to doctors. Thank you

Dr. Learned was an amazing. Dr. He went over everything with me. He was the best. Iam so glad I seen him. I am ready for my next injection with my other Dr.

Drs Learned & {staff name removed} are very accommodating and understanding. There were many appointments with these 2 doctors. They were, again, very accommodating. They answered all questions in a manner that made it clear to us what they were saying and especially what could be expected. The last visit was with Dr. Learned only, as {staff name removed} was out that day. We explained to him why my sister could not do the recommended surgeries (there were 2 options available). Dr. L was very kind and understood the reasons. He went on to explain some additional information, which made it comforting for my sister's decision not to proceed. We appreciated how gracious he was and informed us there is an open-door policy and to please come back if we ever felt the need. Also, he never ever pushed for her to have any surgery, as some doctors might. We bless them both. (Also, there were some additional appointments with other doctors, who also made all options understandable and what could be expected.) Additionally, all personnel were very kind and helpful. My sister especially liked the kindness of the person (very tall male not sure if RN, aide, etc) who would come into the room to start the session. Again, thanks to all the personnel at UCI whom we encountered.

Nothing but good things to say about staff. Dr Learned was professional & took time to talk to me & answer questions & never made me feel he was rushed. Highly recommend.

I appreciated your assistance and helpful staff. Thanks again.

First I thank GOD.My experience at UCI has been incredible Dr. Wang is a Great Doctor and his team. I have nothing but genuine thanks to Dr.Wang and his team I would highly recommend my fellow family members and my Fellow Veterans to come to UCI. Have I met every member at UCI no but the way Dr. Wang and his team represents UCI. It feels like I have met the number one man or woman in charge and I'm still a patient of Dr.Wang. as Veteran we're just looking for someone who shows ture concerns about all their patients . I truly feel that at UCI .

I really liked and appreciated Dr. Wang. Unfortunately he has an age restriction to see patients. So I didn't fall into his age requirements being over 50. He is the only orthopedic doctor at UCI who performs the surgery I need. I was contacted a few times by a gal named {staff name removed} she may be a nurse there. She tried to schedule me with a different orthopedic doctor who can't help me as he doesn't do the surgery I need. {Staff name removed} listened to my frustration and disappointment that UCI couldn't help me without an appointment with Dr. Wang. She went to bat for me and explained my injuries as well as my desire to return to playing Tennis to Dr. Wang and he agreed to see me. He is well qualified to perform the surgery I need and I'm thankful to {staff name removed} and Dr. Wang

Great service by a wonderful doctor

Dr. Wang is excellent. The orthopedic staff not so much. I had many emergencies and questions after surgery. It took days for anyone to get back to me.

Dr. Johnston is an “amazing “ doctor! He gave me as much time as it was needed to explain what was wrong with my shoulder as he looked at the MRI, and then told me that, in my case, a steroid shot would be extremely helpful, followed up by physical therapy. He was definitely true to his word! The shot has worked well for me and I will be starting my physical therapy in about two weeks! I would definitely recommend this surgeon and staff for the job that they have done to help me. I am very thankful!

Dr Johnston is a great surgeon and genuinely cares about your recovery process

Dr J has & is a very big reason for my physical rehabilitation for various needs. I've been under his trusted care since 2021.

What a great visit with Dr Johnston. He really was very caring and explained in great detail the problems I had. I highly recommend Dr Johnston to anyone that needs orthopedic care

Dr. Johnston and his staff continue to provide the highest quality of medical care and compassion! Thank you, Debbie Biancardi
