As always, Dr. Alqueza spent as much time as I needed in my exam, answering questions and allaying my concerns in his usual gentle, affable demeanor. By far, he is the best ortho provider I have ever had, the surgery he did on me 2 years ago [redacted] feels fantastic and I visited him this time to talk about doing the other one. I love his approach, saying "when you're ready, you let me know," he's just the kindest, most understanding doc I think I've ever had.

I met Dr. Alqueza for the first time. I was very impressed that he came in after he himself was going to be operated on the very next day, and he still came in after having an Achilles problem. He was very courteous, but seemed very confident, and I was very impressed with him and his staff. I was seen promptly, in fact, almost as soon as I got there. And now I'm optimistic that the two things he's set up for me will work and the problem will be solved. Thank you.

He was absolutely wonderful. I realized, which I really thought was going to be true when I went in, that there wasn't going to be anything that they could do about this because it was my elbow and it's so fragile. He explained what needed to be done and why I should or shouldn't have it done and even went and got me the card of an expert in elbows.
