Cartilage Repair

Great experience and great care. Fixed my damaged cartilage and had me up and running in the shortest possible time. The pictures inside my knee and explanation were also very helpful and explanatory. Follow up was excellent also.

Dr. Timmerman and team provide the highest quality of care

Dr. Timmerman and her staff provide excellent care from diagnosis to surgery through post-op follow up. I appreciate her and her teams ability to listen to your concerns and answer all of your questions during your office visits and phone calls. Dr. Timmerman was my second opinion doctor and I am so glad I chose her to do my surgery and I am so grateful to her and her team. She repaired my torn and frayed meniscus and got me back to where I need to be. She got me back to living a positive quality of life. Thank you....

The Right Doctor

6 Months ago I had the unfortunate experience to rupture my Achilles tendon. Dr. Timmerman diagnosed shortly after the injury and I had surgery the following day. I was prepared for a very long recovery including crutches, walking boot and knee scooter. The technique Dr. Timmerman used made for a recover far quicker than what I expected. My physical therapist was surprised at the speed of both my recovery and mobility. I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome.

A doctor that listens

I'd been to another ortho who told me it was just arthritis. Dr. T saw the issue on the same MRI, showed me exactly where it hurt and assured me she could make me feel better. Now, 10 weeks after surgery, I have no more pain and I'm almost at full strength. I couldn't be happier.

Thank you!

Thanks again and again

I came to see Dr.Timmerman after i injured my right knee while sailing about a year ago, today i feel great! I had torn my meniscus and was in bad shape. I remembered the fantastic job she did on my left knee around 2005 (acl,pcl and meniscus damage!) and she was the first one i called.
Today im back at work and after she worked on my knee i feel better than before.
Id also like to mention the staff has been extremely helpful and informative.

Dr. is very knowledgeable, skilled and patient focused.

We were referred to Dr. Timmerman as being an expert in her field of orthopedics after our son dislocated his elbow for the fifth time. She quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem and set a plan to correct the issue. Her skill at surgery allowed for a quick recovery along with her specific instruction post-surgery regarding rehabilitation. Her positive "bed-side manner" made us all comfortable asking questions both before and after the surgery. Her office staff is excellent!

Absolutley the best knee surgeon in northern California.

Dr. Timmerman did the surgery on my left knee. i have never felt better. Her caring and follow up shows just how much she actually cares for her patients. Her office staff are the best. No one else is ever touching my knees.

Thanks Doc

Provided much needed relief with frozen shoulder!

Dr. Timmerman was a tremendous help with diagnosis and treating for my frozen shoulder (adhesive capsilitus). She listened to my concerns and offered a treatment plan and I am now able to have the mobility in my shoulder once again. Staff is also very friendly and helpful!

excellent experience from meniscus surgery

I came to doctor Timmerman barely able to walk. She diagnosed my knee injury and gave me the best solution to make a full recovery and return back to my everyday. I am very pleased on the results.

A fabulous experience

After being told by another Dr. that I would have to live with the pain in my shoulder I was referred to Dr. Timmerman. Our initial conversation with Dr. Timmerman was amazing. She validated that I was in tremendous pain and confirmed that the injury could indeed be repaired. My hope was to be pain free and be able to golf again. Six months later, full range of motion, golfing with a full swing and sleeping on my left side for the first time in 2 years. She and her staff are simply amazing.

Excellent Experience

Dr Timmerman was "the second opinion" I had received for a shoulder problem. I'm sooo thankful that I had a friend that had suggested I speak with her also. The difference between the two was night & day. I can't tell you how much more comfortable I was with Dr Timmerman and her staff after the after the first meeting.

Now a few months after the surgery my shoulder has healed extremely with absolutely no complications. My range of movement is already about 90% of what it should be already.

Dr. Timmerman is the Best

I completely tore my left rotator cuff in the beginning of January and saw Dr. Timmerman about 4 weeks later. Once she saw my MRI she immediately told me she could get me back to 100%. I scheduled surgery for the second week in February and I felt better within the first 4 days. I was completely off the meds after the first week and within 3 weeks I had 80% better mobility than I had in weeks. I was back to 100% within 5 months. Dr. T is the absolute best.

Walked in hurting, walked out pain-free!

Expecting to take a sore shoulder with me on vacation, Dr. Timmerman evaluated my symptoms and treated me with a well-placed injection of cortisone on my first visit. My vacation was pain-free and I am a fan of Dr. Timmerman's knowledge and expertise. A five-star experience!

Dr. Timmerman was the most effective doctor I saw though the repair of the tear in my shoulder. She took the time to explain the process and the recovery. Her staff was amazing very friendly and helpful. I am happy to say that I can once again use my arm with almost full range.

No surgery and pain free!

I came to Dr. Timmerman with serious knee pain and swelling. I had a hard time walking my dogs on flat surfaces without pain. After going to see two other doctors, I came to Dr. Timmerman. I couldn't be happier with the results I've had without surgery or cortisone injections which were suggested by others. Such a great experience to be able to talk about ALL options including ones not commonly known by other doctors. I can't imagine where I'd be had I not found Dr. Timmerman.
