Our mission is to provide you with quality orthopaedic care and make every effort to return you to the level of activity that you are accustomed to, and ensure that your visit with us is a pleasant experience. It's great to have a quality treatment center that understands my injuries and can help me work through them in a quick manner.

CORE makes it nice and easy for me, it doesn't have that normal doctor's office vibe. Everyone is really accommodating, and the main part for me is that they understand my career and what I need to keep doing what I'm doing.

What details? It is 10:09 am, and I am still waiting to be seen by anyone for my 9:30 am appointment I have idea of their medical competency, just don't make an appointment here if you have a schedule to keep. Update: it is 10:32. I have left. I don't have any more time to waste here. a 9:30 appointment.

Went in for establishment and Dr. Hammel was great. He gave options and didn't push surgery on me. He gave me a care plan that I required for my lifestyle and age and requested follow up care. I appreciate a specialist that will actually listen to the patient, like a human. Will continue care and treatment.

Dr. Chan is nice, answered my questions in regards to healing. Unfortunately 4 weeks ago they referred me to an occupational therapist that operates 2 hours from my home. I've spoken with his staff when I went in for my last check up and let them know, they did nothing. I've called and left messages asking Dr. Chan to change his referral, but after 3 weeks I've still heard nothing. I've attempted to get movement back myself, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. *sigh*

Core is our place! I prefer Core over any other ortho office i have come in contact with. Wonderful people! Professional, timely and efficient in getting their patients taken care of! Thank you Dr Rolfo and Dr Hammel for your care with our daughter and our son.

The billing is a total crock and their physical therapy didn't even help. Not impressed. I get that health insurance is a total racket, but to be charged $98 for being shown literally 5 minutes of exercise during an evaluation that I was already charged $272 AND something called "manual therapy" for yet an additional $89 (all in a measly 30 minute visit) is a total scam.

Two of the best doctors I've ever worked! Hammel and Bremner are amazing! My whole family has been to Core over the years. We really appreciate all the staff and support they provide.

Successful Knee Surgery: For my follow up with Dr. Hajnik's assistant, I was running late due to freeway traffic. I called and let them know the situation and there was no issue. They were ready for me, all checked in. I don't usually have to wait very long. Once the insurance didn't cover something and they resubmitted it twice with further explanation. Result: insurance paid.

3/4 in leg length disparity after hip replacement by Dr. Hajnik. He said no heel lift after 6 weeks, 3 mo. Now I have scoliosis of spine from body trying to accommodate leg length differential. Thanks so much to egotistical doctor who could not admit a problem. Some people talk about interested aftercare. This guy, not interested. No contact, no interest after surgery!

I've gone here for years for multiple issues with my knees, shoulders, and feet (old sports injuries), my son had some issues with his knee which were resolved here, and I have referred multiple people to this office. I have always been treated well and the surgeries that I have had were very well done and resulted in a lot more mobility. I love this place because I can be seen by one person which can then can either recommend surgery, physical therapy, or multiple other options and they keep it all in-house.

I know that whenever I come here I am going to get whatever is wrong with me fixed. All the bad reviews that I have read are for wait times or billing issues. My review is for the doctors and therapists, which is what I came here for in the first place. I needed to get repaired, and that's what I got. I'll continue to come back here and refer friends and family members because they do a great job.
