Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Robotic knee replacement
Dr Sah and his amazing medical team operated on my knee with a total replacement in March 2025. Detailed information has been provided so I know how to obtain excellent results. I’m thoroughly pleased so far with this surgery. My 2 week follow up went well!

Knee Replacement Surgery
Great! Dr. Sah and the team he has built are professional, kind, and compassionate. For my follow-up post-surgery, one of his receptionists came to get me in a wheelchair because it's a long walk. I did walk out myself, but I consider that service above and beyond. His staff is knowledgeable, answers questions clearly, and the surgery (which I watched on the overhead monitor) was done quickly and I was back in recovery, where Dr. Sah came to talk with my husband and me. Thank you, Dr. Sah and team, for a great experience.

Definitely the BEST!
The whole hip replacement process was so professional. Dr. Sah's team is so communicative and always there to help. I am still in awe as to how fast I healed, just follow the plan. I had a hip replacement 10 years ago in Chicago. I was so happy to find Dr. Sah ( in California), who did his fellowship under that doctor. At the time, the Chicago doctor was the only doctor that I found who did anterior, minimally invasive surgery. You'd be crazy not to have Dr. Sah's expertise!

Excellent Experience
I had my knee replaced by Dr. Sah and couldn’t be happier with the results. An information binder was provided that let me know what was going to happen and what I could do to make it happen more easily. This covered before during and after the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Sah to anyone. His office is on top of everything and is one of the most smoothly running practices I have been acquainted with.

Excellence in orthopedic care
The orthopedic team with Dr. Sah was exceptional with my care. Each employee took the time to help me understand each step of care process. I went to my first appointment with joints that were causing considerable pain and immobility. The team drafted a plan to help me. I now have a hip replacement and I am pain-free. I highly recommend Dr. Sah and his dedicated team.

Knee Replacement - Hold In High Regard
I'm a very satisfied patient that experienced the highest level of medical care and partnership between a doctor and patient. I have done both knee replacements. Dr. Sah and his team have gone above and beyond in regard to my medical care. I have gone through surgery twice now and each time the whole process was seamless. I commend Dr. Sah and his team for their unmatched professionalism and coordination. Dr Sah - you're the BEST. Thank you again!

Amazing end to end experience!
If you are considering a total joint replacement…this is the spot. From Pre-op through my post op care, the team at Dr. Sah’s office is top of class. I work in the orthopedic industry, I had my choice of anyone to do my surgery and I chose Dr. Alex Sah. The skill and technology used in these cases are cutting edge and solely focused on getting patients back on their feet ASAP. If you want to get back to the activities you enjoyed before needing a total joint replacement…schedule it with Dr. Sah.

Feeling Like Myself Again!
It has now been 3 months since my partial knee replacement surgery and my knee feels great. I won't pretend that it was painless or easy to get to where I am today but I am very happy with the outcome. Dr Sah and his staff are expert professionals who helped me along the way from weeks before the surgery through surgery, of course, and beyond. If you are a candidate for knee replacement surgery, Sah orthopedics is where you want to go. Follow their process and recommendations to the letter and you will be fine. The other component of a happy outcome is of course the patient's work with a good physical therapist.

Expert surgeon and staff
I recently had an anterior approach total right hip replacement by Dr. Sah and I highly recommend him and his staff. The preoperative process was seamless, the surgery went flawlessly and post-operative rehab and recovery have been optimal. I received a binder outlining exercises to do to strengthen the right hip pre-op, nutritional protein recommendations to optimize pre and post-op health and post-op recommendations for elevating the lower extremities and icing the surgical area to minimize swelling. I followed the recommendations exactly and have enjoyed the best outcome I could imagine.

Amazing experience and treatment
I was referred by a friend who had robotic knee replacement by Dr. Sah. He said he was the best doctor and provided the best customer service he had every experienced. I recently had anterior hip replacement done, and have to say that my experience with Dr. Sah and his entire staff has been AMAZING! The level of friendliness, accessibility, and treatment is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Dr. Sah and his staff provide the most state-of-the-art hip and knee replacement, with the most personalized care in CA! I am SO GRATEFUL to have found Dr. Sah and his practice.

Best in California!
The care and expertise cannot get any better than working with Dr. Sah and all of his staff if you need a hip or knee replacement! They have the most expertise in anterior hip replacement and robotic knee replacement in California! Everyone from all of the office staff, medical assistants, physician's assistants, even the cleaning staff and other hospital workers are friendly, competent and everything is geared to making you as comfortable and up on your feet as soon as possible. They make sure you know when your next appointment will be and always follow-up visits with phone calls to make sure everything is OK. Dr. Sah himself always checks in to make sure things are going well even though his staff carries out many follow-ups for him with great care. I could not be happier with the quality of care I have received from Dr. Sah and ALL of his staff. Thank you so much.

Hip Replacement - My Astoundingly Quick Recovery
Doctor Sah is the best around hands down. Surgery was explained and my recovery has been amazing! At 6 weeks I feel fantastic. Just a little stiffness as I regain strength but pain free for the first time in over a year. Also, the surgery evened a leg length discrepancy I have had for years. My posture and evenness in stride has improved greatly. Very happy!

Dr. Sah is the best
I just had my second knee replaced by Dr. Sah and the surgery went extremely well. The recovery is even faster than the first knee. I wouldn't think of seeing anyone else for this procedure. Every aspect, from the pre-surgery prep to the infection prevention care to the surgery itself and the post-surgery recovery is finely tuned and highly effective. Sah gets my five star rating.

Dr. Sah replaced my right hip on July 23, 2024.
Dr. Sah replaced my hip and I am very pleased with the result. I have gone from using a walker after surgery, to a cane, and now I walk with neither one. I was fully awake during theprocedure, and if ever I need to have my other hip replaced, I will definitely ask Dr. Sah. to do it.He and his office have followed up with me and monitored my recovery.
