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.

Both knees replaced
After years of knee injections I finally needed replacement of both knees about a year apart. I am extremely pleased with the outcomes. Dr Tendulkar was thorough, kind, patient and empathetic. He explained everything thoroughly. Both surgeries were without complications and my pain is gone. He is a fantastic doctor and I would recommend him to anyone needing his care.

I wasn't impressed, He didn't offer much on my consultation. Just said due to my age he didn't think surgery was an option??? Without any information he decided just by looking at me what was wrong with my knee??? It sounded more like a guess than anything... In my opinion it was a wasted appointment.

I took my 15 yo daughter, who is an athlete, to him with a knee injury. He was very thorough in his examination of the knee and then listened to our concerns and worked with us to get a quick diagnosis and treatment plan to get her back to softball as quickly and safely as possible. I was very pleased with him. He is engaging and pleasant also.

No information regarding my diagnosis although there were pamphlets in the room. No offer of PT, no recommendations re: preventative measures to slow progression. I have never been treated like an "old" patient although I am in my 60's and very active. I am a Registered Nurse with 47 years experience, 25 of which were spent in the Operating Room. The only information he discussed was a total knee prosthesis.
