Dr. Zavala and his staff are exceptional. Their bedside manner and ability to explain complex issues in simple terms make the visit highly valuable. He successfully performed my rotator cuff surgery several years ago and recently completed my knee surgery. Everything they predicted was accurate. The trust I have in him and his staff is unparalleled. They are truly outstanding.

I was referred to Dr Patel after having a bad fall on my knee. His PA checked me in and then I was directed to take x-rays of the damaged area. Dr Patel looked at those x-rays and told me within 5 minutes of seeing him, I needed to go to a trauma center. I was scheduled for a CT scan but before I could get an appointment his PA called me and directed me to a trauma center and one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the area, Dr Samuel Stephenson. I got checked in that night and had surgery 10 am the next day. Thank you and yo... read more

Positives: short wait time, polite staff, got shots in my knees after X-rays, follow up for gel injections, and PTOther: no time for questions unless you have them memorized, can speed talk without taking a breath, and have the listening skills of an owl; you have a pain, he knows his stuff, you get your treatment and get outThe end

I was referred to Dr. Patel by my PCP after a bad experience with another surgeon for a torn meniscus and osteoarthritis. Dr. Patel’s approach is always to provide the least invasive modality to relieve pain. In my case after all of those options were exhausted and my pain wasn’t relieved I required a knee replacement. From the beginning and throughout my treatment journey I received nothing but compassionate and quality care from Dr. Patel and his entire team.Dr. Patel and Kevin Rushin, his PA always provided me with clear ... read more

I drove from Abilene and was so happy I did. I have been having knee pain for a while that has affected my quality of life. I didn't get much help from my PCP and told me I had mild arthritis and to take 800 mg of ibuprofen.Dr Patel discovered I had fluid in my left knee(he removed it)and 2 steroid shots later I have a much happier knee. Such a pleasant experience and worth the drive to a doctor thats goal is to help me be pain free and stay pain free.

Best doctor ever! He had performed shoulder and knee surgery on me. He also did my son’s knee surgery. I would highly recommend him.

10 years ago I blew out my right knee. Went to see Dr. Zavala and he did my surgery and everything went perfectly. Still good to this day. Hurt my left knee during the storm cleanup cutting down trees and moving my generator when the power was out for 3 days. Did X-rays at his office and he called for a MRI to get better details. He is very professional very nice to talk to and we had an excellent experience with his staff. Hopefully this surgery goes as well as the other one did.

I went to Dr. Zavala in July 2023 because of knee pain. I have had 4 pervious knee surgeries on this particular knee. My first appointment Dr. Zavala seemed to think after looking at the X-Rays that there was nothing wrong with my knee other than arthritis. I continued to press the issue since i have lived with arthritis for over 10 years, and i knew this was different. I was able to convince him to order an MRI. My MRI did come back which showed i did tear my meniscus. We scheduled my 5th knee surgery for the following mont... read more

I had a complete hip replacement done by Dr Burney. My pain is gone and I can move around freely without having continuous pain. I feel twenty years younger. I’m doing things I haven’t done in years. Dr Burney is a highly qualified surgeon and a very caring individual. I recommend him to anyone who is in need of orthopedic surgery. He’s the best.
