I arrived 5-10min before appt. Lady at the counter was attentive and friendly. Short wait in waiting room. Got to see Dr Momaya without a crew of medical students and residents. And was done with appointment in 30 min. Very efficient process

I was very satisfied with my visit, I showed up early. Was brought back early for X-rays, and I finished my visit all before my original appointment time. Dr. Momaya and his staff were great, and my knee is healing up nicely. Can't thank their team enough.

It's been a great experience! I came to Dr. Momaya after a complete waste of time with another orthopedic surgeon that I didn't feel like really cared about my health or me, but only cared about money. I feel so much more at ease knowing Dr. Momaya will be doing my surgery and his staff was so knowledgeable and helpful with explaining things a lot more clearly, and very transparent about the entire thing which I did not have with other facilities
