“I had a really really bad fracture on my wrist! Every doctor nurse looked at my X rays were saying it. My wrist was fractured from multiple locations. Dr. Dowd did an amazing surgery. It is back to how it was. I have no limitation on movement. No pain, no arthritis, no limit on bending, turning nothing. He's a great doctor.”

“Dr. Butler is amazing. I broke my wrist in two places snowboarding and saw him shortly after the fracture. He was patient, discussed surgery vs. non-surgery options, didn't pressure me into one or the other. I opted for a cast and it's been healing very smoothly. He squeezed me in early last week so that I could see my own patients that day. He has been kind, knowledgeable, professional, and warm. I feel grateful to have him as my orthopedist.” -

Because joints are in constant use, they often wear out over time due to overuse or aging. Joint reconstruction or replacement may be required to relieve the resulting pain and restore function. Most joints in the body, including the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles and feet, are synovial, permitting movement and articulation. When these joints suffer traumatic injury, or when the cartilage that normally protects them wears away, surgical repair or replacement may be necessary.

Orthopedic surgeons may perform a shoulder arthroscopy to diagnose and treat several different conditions of the shoulder. With this type of procedure, patients benefit from less tissue damage, shorter recovery times, less scarring and less post-operative pain than traditional open procedures.
Elbow arthroscopy is generally used for simple manipulations of the joint, such as fracture care, debridement and removal of bone fragments. It is also commonly used to confirm and examine abnormalities of the joint to provide a proper diagnosis of any elbow conditions.

The rotator cuff is the thick band of muscles and associated tendons that cover the top of the upper arm and hold in it place, providing support and stability to the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff also allows for a full range of motion while keeping the ball of the arm bone in the shoulder socket. These tendons can become partially or completely torn as a result of a rotator cuff tear or injury. A rotator cuff tear often occurs as a result of injury or overuse of the muscles over a long period of time.

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the hip joint. This procedure can be used to confirm the diagnosis of various imaging procedures, such as X-rays and MRIs, as it provides a three-dimensional, real-time image of the affected area. If damage or abnormalities are detected during the arthroscopy, repairs can often be made during the same procedure.

Our Patient Reviews
"My 13 year old son broke his tibia & fractured the growth plate in his ankle and we were in urgent need of a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon. We were incredibly fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Todd Kim, located in Burlingame, CA. From my initial call and speaking with the efficient and compassionate receptionist, Cel, to securing a 911 appointment, we were immediately impressed. Upon meeting the nurse, Dr. Kim, J.C., & Jeffrey, a team who are exemplary in what they do, compassionate to the patient (and the hysterical Mom...me:)), they moved swiftly and with precision to re-set my sons ankle and put it in a cast. The entire team collaborated on the best approach and care and we are forever grateful! Dr. Kim is a gifted physician, with the nicest demeanor and his entire team personify professionalism, expertise & heart!"

Also his assistant, Monica, provided exceptional assistance and follow up each step of the way. On a 1 to 5 scale our family would give Dr. Comer and Monica a 50. We are so fortunate to have had them treat our mother. Thank you.”

“Dr. Moon and his staff were very professional and thorough. I fell on my hands about two months ago and my elbow was still hurting. Dr. Moon and his P.A. both listened carefully, explained what they thought was going on and ordered an MRI to see if I tore a tendon. I felt very we'll taken care of and will definitely be back again. Highly recommend seeing this doc.” -Sandi S.
