Dr. David Gazzaniga and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process of my ACL reconstruction. They were professional, responsive, and had an excellent system in place to check in with me following surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Gazzaniga! Kelsey K. | Google Reviews

Dr. Gazzaniga picked up where another doctor left me after I suffered a fully ruptured quadriceps. Without him, I would have had extremely limited range of motion. He went above and beyond to help me regain function and was a tremendous ally with insurance issues. I was deeply impressed by what a skilled doctor and compassionate person he is. If you are in need, don’t pass him up. Note: Appointments can involve some wait time, but that’s because he gives each patient the time they need. God bless this man. Denny P. | Google Reviews

Dr. Gazzaniga is fantastic! He performed a specialized rotator cuff repair on an older injury with severely retracted tendons. The surgery went beautifully, with minimal post-operative discomfort. Seven months later, I am pain-free with full range of motion and strength training. Dr. Gazzaniga is truly a gift from God—a real blessing! Julie D. | Google Reviews

I’m thrilled to write this 5-star review for Dr. Gazzaniga, my exceptional orthopedic surgeon who operated on my shoulder about a year ago. His expertise, skill, and unwavering commitment to my well-being were truly remarkable. From our initial consultation through recovery, I felt confident and well cared for. His precision and attention to detail led to an outstanding outcome, and I am grateful for the restored functionality of my shoulder. I highly recommend Dr. Gazzaniga to anyone seeking top-quality orthopedic care. Thank you for making such a positive impact on my life. Anoosh M. | Google Reviews

Dr. Gazzaniga explained the entire ACL process and genuinely cared about my health. He spent time with me and reassured me that everything would be okay. He made me feel comfortable enough to move forward with the surgery. His staff is also amazing! Abraham S. | Google Reviews

Dr. Gazzaniga handled my ACL reconstruction and was outstanding from start to finish. The entire team at Newport / Hoag Orthopedic Institute was absolutely fantastic. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Gazzaniga and the whole team at Newport Orthopedic. Mel K. | Google Reviews

What an amazing staff—and Dr. Gazzaniga had exceptional bedside manner. He clearly explained everything about my ACL surgery, and my recovery has been quick. Just two weeks post-op, I’m already walking without a brace or crutches and have minimal bruising. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gazzaniga. Olivia K. | Google Reviews

I can’t understand the comments about “age issues.” My experience has been completely positive. I’m 80 years old and recently fractured three metatarsals in a fall. I was referred to Dr. Gazzaniga by the Hoag ER, and he quickly assessed the injury and outlined potential solutions. He’s a great listener. Bill M. | Google Reviews

Dr. Gazzaniga is the best! From start to finish, I felt like I was in good hands. His calm, confident demeanor puts you at ease before your procedure. Post-op was easy, with minimal pain and a tiny incision. I would recommend him 100%! A. | Google Reviews
