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.

Kind, Skilled, & Caring Ortho Surgeon
In 2016 Dr. Craviotto replaced my left arthritic shoulder. It’s 6 years later and I have more range of motion than before the surgery; which one would not normally expect. He explained everything and did a super job. I had no problems with recovery. In particular he did not rush me into physical therapy, but rather let me do my own ( with his instruction) for a while. When the time came for professional physical therapy I was ready. Last but not least he is SO kind, which I appreciated so very much. He’s my Ortho surgeon for life! 10 out of 10!!!!

Daniel Craviotto M.D. Outstanding Surgeon
I am a 93 year old woman. Dr. Craviotto performed a total replacement of my right hip May 22, 2020. The surgery is a total success. Previously I had my left hip replaced in another city. The surgeon who replaced my left hip was said to be world renowned and verified by reliable sources. That surgery left me permanently with a huge swollen ankle and problems with swelling in the left leg. I was in my 56 years old when I had that surgery. I was 91 years old when Dr. Craviotto replaced my right hip. My right leg is normal. The orthopedist who had been monitoring my case retired and verified that I needed a hip replacement. I was having great difficulty walking and then I fell in my home. How grateful I am that I was referred to Dr. Daniel Craviotto. He is a kind. gentle wonderful man who truly cares about his patients. He explains everything and never has made me feel rushed. The members of his staff are kind and caring people.

Dr Craviotto didn’t do my surgery as it was an emergency operation far away from home. When I returned to Goleta shortly after he cared for me as attentively as if he had done the surgery himself. Always kind he thoroughly answered all of my and my family’s questions as well. We had a lot of questions. I never felt rushed. You couldn’t find a better doctor.
