I had a total shoulder replacement last year. Completely satisfied with his personal care and communication. He is an excellent surgeon and would highly recommend him. ??M. Wolf

I had a severe shoulder injury earlier this year. Dr Diefendorf did a rotator cuff repair which feels better every day. I would be happy to recommend him for his experience and expertise.

I had a broken ankle (5 months ago) which required surgery (plate & screws) and I felt I was in very good hands with Dr. D throughout the entire process. He explains thoroughly and answers questions completely. His manner is calm, supportive, compassionate and comforting. He has me back on both feet and I should be able to resume to all my normal activities soon. I recommend him highly.

I went to Dr. D after learning that I had a partial tear to my left ACL. He and his staff made every effort to get me back to living the active lifestyle I am accustomed to living. Through his attention to detail at each appointment, every other month post-op, I was able to slowly build up the strength in my left knee. After 9 months of rigorous physical therapy and supporting strength building exercises, I have been cleared to do whichever outdoor activity I desire!

I came to visit a friend in Burlingame from where I live in Sacramento. During my visit I broke my right femur and was transported (in great pain) to the nearby hospital. My surgery was scheduled for the next day but Dr. Diefendorf stepped up at the end of a very busy day and did my surgery that night. I found great comfort from Dr. Diefendorf's care. He is intelligent, competent, compassionate, and willing to listen patiently to what you have to say. I highly recommend Dr. Diefendorf!

I had total knee replacements done by Dr. Diefendorf, the right knee 3/11/15 and left 1/4/16. In both cases the procedure was clearly explained to me ahead of time and the procedures went very well. I was home after 2 nights in the hospital each time. The followup care at home, therapy, was excellent. My recovery has gone quite well and I'm very pleased with the results of the surgeries Dr. Deifendorf performed to correct knee problems that have been with me for about 48 years.
