Dr. Daniel Craviotto, MD

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!!!!

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.

My visit with Dr Craviotto was a great experience. Dr Craviotto is very knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and demonstrates true interest in finding the right treatment for the patient. The office personnel is friendly and professional. Everything is very well organized. I highly recommend Dr Craviotto to all who are looking for the orthopedic specialist.

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.

Excellent in every way. Never rushed. Always kind and helpful and interested in my questions and my particular situation. I'm back out hiking, birding, climbing stairs and ladders, etc. He gave me back my life!

Have had 2 TKR 's by Dr. Craviotto. BOTH are NOW pain free, no limp (physical therapy!) and can bend,etc... . Staff is EXCELLENT. Extremely professional.
