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.

Greedy doctor
I made an appointment for a cast, but Dr. Ishak strongly recommended a brace that insurance doesn't cover. He put it on my wrist, but it was hitting my ulnar head and hurt so much that I had to take it off after 2 hours.I don't know if the brace was poor quality or if the doctor wasn't competent to put it on.

Dr Ishak and staff
Waiting time was minimal, everyone was friendly and helpful. Dr Ishak was very helpful and warm. After my exam, he laid out a plan and explained the surgery and a date will be set when they get insurance prior authorization.

I highly recommend Dr Ishak
He performed a surgery on me in the past. When this upcoming surgery became evident, I had no other thought of who I want to perform this one than him. He is an expert in his field and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Dr Ishak Is Lovely!
We had a wee chat and catch-up while he wiggled my thumb. Then we agreed that another steroid injection might do the trick and delay an op. And it has! Always feel my hands are in good hands with Dr Ishak. Thank you.

I was lucky that I found Dr Ishak in Camarillo. His extensive experience makes you feel comfortable during any procedure. Ten years ago, he did a surgery on my left hand with excellent results.

Dr. Ishak is really the best!
I have been a patient of Dr. Ishak for a while now. It started with Trigger fingers & recently Carpal tunnel syndrome. I have four scars on my hands & now the little one on my wrist. I promise you can not see any of them.Dr. Ishak is wonderful! To the point & serious about the care you need. He is the only one I trust with anything regarding my hands! Thank you! Dr. Ishak

Best hand doctor ever!
Hands down best hand doc ever, no pun intended. After being hit by a car on my bicycle my pinkie extensor tendon was severed. My right hand sustained serious trauma, my finger required surgery & Dr. Ishak repaired a shredded tendon. As a retired OR nurse I know a good surgeon when I see one. Dr. Ishak is the only hand doc I trust. I eventually developed painful CMC arthritis & Dr. Ishak gave me a cortisone injection which gave me months of pain relief. I’ll be forever grateful!

Pincer nail help
My mother has a pincer nail and we had been referred to so many doctors who all stated that they couldnt help my mom but failed to provide guidance/referrals to finding someone who could help. I called Dr. Ishaks office with Ventura Orthopedics and even though he didnt do the procedure, he made sure he helped us find someone that could. His office took the time to make me feel like my mothers health/pain was being considered. I 100% recommend Dr. Ishak and his team.
