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.

Knee replacement
Dr. G replaced both of my knees this year and I could not be happier. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to listen and answer questions. I would highly recommend him and the Golden Triangle Surgery Center.

Pkr put in wrong and failed.
Pkr failed. Bottom plate was installed at an angle. I had complained about it he did nothing and well is no longer with Oasis. Really messed things up. Had tkr 4 years later to fix Dr Gargulinski’s error’s . Dr Chao of Oasis highly recommended Dr. James Bried in Poway, an extensive surgery to remove, repair and replacement. I’m now in no pain and have full mobility in just 6 weeks.

I recommend Dr. Gargulinski for knee replacement surgery. My experience was fantastic and something I should've done years ago. The initial appointment, surgery and after care has been outstanding. He has been available for questions and his awesome staff has work well with my insurance and workplace. This replacement surgery has enable me to experience more activity in my life and reclaim my golf after years of pain. I am looking forward to having my left knee replaced later this year!!!!

Dr. Gargulinski recently performed my third knee replacement surgery. Artificial knees don't last forever. After twelve years, the "cushions" in my first joint wore out and needed replacement. He is an outstanding physician and surgeon. Extremely skilled. He is also a very patient man with a friendly, helpful manner that placed me at ease with a knowing that my procedure would go well. His nurse and office staff likewise are prompt to attend to your needs and follow through very well.

Was very honest about weather surgery would benefit me or not. Thought it was a very invasive surgery and didn't want me to go through the pain without being able to guarantee me that I wouldn't be in more pain afterwards. Highly recommend Dr. Gargulinski and his staff.

I had a knee surgery with Dr. Gargulinski and I am so happy with the outcome! I am pretty picky with doctors, and Dr. Gargulinski took the time to talk me through my options and help me weigh the pros and cons. His prediction of my outcome after surgery was spot on. His office was pretty full at the time I went but he didn't make me feel rushed. I have had multiple visits and the new office is so much better and the additional office staff have really help speed up the wait time.
