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.

Dr Valdez not only explained what was wrong, he showed me a few exercises to do at home. He also gave me a paper copy of my X-Ray that served as a visual that he used to show the damage to my joint. Very helpful, friendly, and took the time to be sure I had no further questions.

Recently I had a diagnostic and followup for leg pain by Dr. Valdez. His exam was thorough and he spent adequate time to educate me on what I can do to control the pain. In the followup visit Dr. Valdez answered my questions. I find him to be very knowledgeable and he very kindly gave me adequate time, concerned and sincere.

OrthoNow is great. Excellent staff where you can get X-rays and treatment all in one visit. Dr Valdez an excellent clinician. He explains the findings of your xrays and treatment plan. He gives gray injections-they didn’t hurt like some other docs.

Extended hours are great! I arrived at the Stone Oak location at 6:15 PM and was summoned to the front desk immediately. The entire staff, and the process, was very professional and efficient. I received x-rays within minutes. Then Dr. Valdez evaluated my knee, arranged for my treatment and I was on my way within 45 minutes. I received relief as he indicated that I would. I will return to Ortho Now at TSAOG and see Dr. Valdez should the need arise. 5 stars!

Wait time was long, but Dr. Valdez was worth it. He made sure that all my questions were answered. He was patient and showed empathy. I would definitely see him again, should the need arise. The only downside was that they do not accept Blue Cross. I did have to pay out of network, but fees were reasonable compared to emergency room. Thanks??

Dr. Valdez is a very kind and gentle natured doctor. For someone in pain, this is so important. His practice has a lot to offer, it really is the “go-to” place for Ortho care in San Antonio. I saw him at his Stone Oak office. Five stars, for sure.

Unlike the first orthopedic doc I saw, Dr. Valdez discussed all reasonable options for treatment and what I could expect from each, then offered the choice to me. He Is very personable and empathetic, and hears what I tell him about my issue. I trust his medical opinion and would trust him to do surgery if needed.

I came in for an ankle injury, spent 5 minutes with Dr. Valdez and (as I later found out) was misdiagnosed. Dr. Valdez indicated I needed surgery for my injury. I received a second opinion from another orthopedic surgeon. In fact, my injury was a sprain with nerve trauma. The second doctor took the time to ask the proper questions, put me on a different treatment, and did not recommend surgery. Approach Dr. Valdez with caution.

Dr. Valdez was friendly. I went in for a second opinion from my first doctor. He did an exam, looked at the MRI and confirmed they first doctor diagnosis. He did not try to get me into a surgeon in his practice, but did recommend treatment. He said the treatment would be pretty much the same if I went with them or the other doctor. I did not have to wait long in the waiting room nor exam room. Great service.
