He listens to my long history of after the first treatment then he did shot of medication. I trusted him with confidence. Eiko Suzuki

Dr Bonzon is just great! He assessed the origin of my glute/groin pain and gave me a painless injection to resolve it. On top of being a fabulous physician he is a really nice guy and makes it easy to describe my issues with pain.

Dr. Lehnert adjusted my orthotic, so I now have experienced no pain on the ball of my foot, a huge improvement from before.

Dr Lehnert was able to see me quickly regarding my medical concern. I found him kind and professional while he took the time to explain my issue. The receptionist was also very pleasant and helpful and spoke to Dr Lehnert’s Medical Assistant. I received a callback within the hour for a fast appointment.

Excellent visit today.

I have been seeing Dr. Joel Saal for my back issues for a long time. He is awesome! I have always had good outcomes.

Clean, professional, experienced

Dr. Keane is an excellent doctor who spends all the time you need with him. He is an excellent listener and fully explains all my options. During procedures, he has always made sure I was not in pain. He has a vast knowledge and experience. He is definitely one of the best doctors I have ever seen. And on top of it, he is a very nice person

I have been under the care of Dr Saal since 2002. My back and shoulders have experienced severe and complicated issues throughout the years, from riding motorcycles. He has addressed every issue I have, successfully and found the right remedies for all. He maintains contact with me on a monthly basis, due to my chronic issues. I strongly recommend him to address your pain and injuries. Chiropractors cannot repair complicated injuries. In my case, they wouldn’t touch me. It took Dr Saal’s knowledge, experience and professionalism to address my needs.

Just had my first appointment with Doctor Bonzon, and can’t say enough great things. He was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and thorough in explaining what the cause of my pain could be and what the treatment plan looks like moving forward. He reviewed a prior MRI with me in great detail. He clearly has deep passion for his discipline and for patient care. I went in feeling bummed that I’ve been plagued with pain for coming up on 4 years, and I left feeling quite hopeful. Very glad to be in Doctor Bonzon’s care.

The doctor is very elegant and he knows what he is doing. Totally recommended

Dr Jeffrey SAAL is a great doctor who help me a lot & solve all my sciatica, neck pains,…

Highly recommending Dr. Jeffrey Saal! He has years of experience and was able to diagnose my problem quickly (a spinal synovial cyst), and then take care of it by a minimally invasive approach! Dr. Saal and his staff have all been very nice, helpful and professional.

This is my second time seeing Dr. Jeff Saal and I am again grateful for his thoughtfulness and willingness to listen. Unlike other providers I've seen, he doesn't rush to a diagnosis and wants to take the time to clearly identify what your issue is prior to suggesting a treatment plan in order to ensure the best outcome.

Great experience

Dr Jeff Saul is an excellent doctor. I have seen him for years and have nothing but the utmost respect for him. I believe he cares deeply about his patients and is very professional. Most importantly, I have ultimate confidence in ability to diagnose and treat me.

I strongly recommend Jeff Saal. He has done a great job in treating my lower back issues over many years and improving my quality of life. He listens well and is easy to talk to. Go see him if you have issues with your spine.

Very pleased with Dr. Keane's personal follow up on the phone weeks after in-office visit during which he had prescribed physical therapy plan.

Dr. Jeffrey Saal is great.

Dr. Bonzon is always caring, optimistic, and I appreciate that he discusses options with me. I think he is a terrific doctor!

Dr. Bronson was very helpful. He suggested I get an MRI and then we can go from there.

Dr Joel Saal is very thorough. He remains in constant contact to monitor and remedy my condition. I highly recommend anyone to him, to maintain a pain-free quality of life.

I think Dr Bonzon is terrific.

Due to my extensive spinal issues and chronic pain I have been seeing Dr. Keane for some time and I think he is one of the most caring and empathetic doctors I have ever met. He has been so supportive I don't know what I would have done without him. He has been very effective in dealing with my short term and chronic issues and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking help.

Dr Lenhart is the best. A fabulous doctor, and pleasant to be with. I always know that he will fix whatever foot problem.

I love Dr. Jeffrey Saal & staff!! Always prompt, caring, and accommodating.

Thoughtful and understanding consultation , effective and friendly resolution.

Dr. Lehnert My feet feel nothing! They are the best they’ve been in ages and I think they’ve had a positive affect on my back as well. Thank you.

Dr. Bonzon is the best!

Dr. Bonson is a most positive, thorough, informative and caring doctor. He took much time in explaining my MRI results, did several hands on testing and concluded with his assessment of my situation. He listens to you and presents options for continued care as a partner in developing a treatment plan. I can’t say enough how impressed I was with him! I would recommend all family and friends.

Dr. Kane is fantastic. Very logical and does not rush to conclusions. I like his methodical approach.

I had a great experience at sewer spon seaport court in Redwood City yesterday. !!! The staff was very helpful in getting me scheduled and a slot where there was a cancelation moving, moving my appointment up by more than 2 weeks. & Dr Bruce Lehnert Enter the exam room, D.P. fully apprised of my situation & needs & with the needed Resolution, saving us Both much needed time in the midst of both our busy schedules. I'm very grateful to all for their skills, respect and efficiency.

Dr. Lehnert is a caring and exceptional doctor. I am grateful for his care as well as the care of his staff!

Dr Bonson has aided me through my pain management through a herrendous life experience. He has always been guiding with truth and openness toward outcome. My wife and I both trust Dr Bonson entirely.

Dr. Bonson is the best! He is an excellent listener, relates especially well when talking with you, and gives insightful advice. Takes his time, you never feel rushed. One of the most skilled in interactions with patients among all my doctors. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Bonzon is amazing

Courteously smooth and seamless.

Dr. Keane exuded concern and care for me. He suggested an MRI which I completed, then briefly explained the results and talked to me about on going exercise options.

Fast, friendly, effective. Great attention to detail!

On a scale of 1 to 10, my experience with Dr. Bonson was and is a 17! He's attentive, caring, skilled, and thorough. The staff and facilities match the rating. Having 38 years in VIP services with an international airline, I'm keening aware of "the client needs" and find such exceptional care as received to be rare these days. Color me grateful, indeed!

Pleasant meeting with careful review of my symptoms and direct recommendations for way forward.

Dr. Lehnert is a straight shooter. He clearly explains your treatment options and potential outcome. I very much appreciate this approach. Heather his medical assistant is excellent.

Dr Lehnert is always great about handling all my questions and I always have a few or more and yesterday I think I asked too many if there is such a thing. But I will continue to ask because he’s my doctor and I want the answers.

Dr. Bonson is an excellent physician. He listens, informs the patient of options and gives clear explanations of procedures. I highly recommend him.

Prompt, attentive to gathering information, concerned about getting to the root cause of a multifaceted chronic problem. A doctor who cares!

First visit seems knowledgeable!

Great

I damaged my back doing construction work and doing gravity sports. Dr Jeff Saal has been guiding my maintenance for over 20 years. Through the use of pharmaceuticals, cortisone injections, physical therapy, and advising surgery he has allowed me to live as close to a normal life as possible. With as little pain as the

Found solution to my knee problems that other doctors couldn’t. After four months I am now back on the tennis court.

Listened and then knew what to do and more importantly what not to do. I feel I am safe and in good hands to tackle my issues.

Great facility..caring staff.. great doc!

As always a great and informative experience.

Dr Joel Saal is a great MD who is a great diagnostician and care provider. I would refer anybody to him.

Jeffrey Saal, MD is one of the most professional and compassionate doctors i’ve had care for me. 17 years now.

Last month I suffered from a herniated disc. Yesterday's appointment with Dr. Keane was to follow up. He reassured me that in most cases these heal up. But given the current level of impact on my mobility, we agreed an epidural steroid injection would be appropriate, so he will perform that next week. This is the second time I've seen Dr. Keene (the first was 2 1/2 years ago, involving spinal stenosis), and in both cases Dr. Keene has provided excellent advice.

Very pleased with the epidural results. Dr. Saal and staff are great

Excellent care.

Joel S. Saal, M.D. is conscientious, personable and understanding. He is very knowledgeable, and he is well informed concerning my lumbar spine disability. James W. Linehan, M.D.

Dr. Saal is a brilliant diagnostician with excellent bedside manner. I’ve seen several doctors who misdiagnosed the reason for my nerve pain and Dr. Saal was able to figure it out within minutes. He ordered an MRI for me and told me the complete treatment plan rather than minimizing my pain. Also, as a larger person, I typically get a lecture every time I see a doctor and this was not the case with Dr. Saal. I could not recommend him more highly.

The team in Redwood City Procedure Center were very efficient in checking in, made sure my medical information & insurance was accurate (2 min.). The surgical team was very organized, patient focused, facility was very clean and squared away. The procedure with Dr Bonzon was great. Dr explained each step in the procedure and reduced my level of anxiety to "0". I was Super Happy with the entire process and the procedure began to reduce the level of pain within a day. I will refer all of my family and friends to Dr Bonzon.

I have great experience with dr Kein. His advice is always great God bless him

Dr. Bonzon listens, cares, discusses options, and is medically competent!

Dr Bonzon has an enthusiastic and uplifting approach! The office help is pleasant

Very professional and informative. Nice and caring staff

Dr. Keane and his staff are always there when you need them most. I highly recommend Dr. Keane!

Great doctor, he listens and really explains everything clearly, including all options. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I have worked with Dr. Saal off and on for about 30 years. He is caring and knowledgeable, and I feel lucky to have him as my doctor. His staff is also caring and good to work with.

Dr. Christopher Bonzon is the absolute best! Great bedside manner, knowledge, and expertise!

Shor wait. Listened carefully. Examined both feet and my orthotics carefully but didn't tickle me. Explained what he thought was going on waited and answered my question in an easy back and forth. Proposed a solution which worked perfectly on one foot and almost perfectly on the other one. A little fine tuning and that one will be perfect too. Outstanding doc!!!

Dr. Lehnert was extremely helpful and reassuring that he will be able to find a solution to my problem!

After having back pain for 40+ years, I am pain free thanks to Dr. Joel Saal.

Dr Keane was great. Efficient. Kind. Down to business but friendly. Knowledgeable. Experienced. Professional. I did call back to get more details on my upcoming spinal injections but that was no big deal. I recommend Dr Keane 1000 percent. One of the best. Perfect age, not too young and not too old. In his prime.

Dr. Keane is always so thoughtful. He has always treated me with respect. I appreciate the fact that he seems to understand the pain I am experiencing.

Everyone I talked to, before and during my visit to Dr. Saal's office were kind and helpful. Dr. Saal listened to me and examined me carefully and proposed treatment in a very competent way. His staff were helpful in telling me how to proceed. I'm glad to have met Dr. Saal and the new Soar Staff. Maurice O'Flynn

Dr. Jeffrey Saal is exceptional. He is truly world class, and I would not go to anyone else. You can count on him to do the best for his patients.

Good experience as Dr Saal is an expert in his practice, cares and is a clear, concise and thoughtful speaker.

The staff that I was able to observe appeared to be efficient and easy-going. Dr Bonzon did great job of interviewing me so as to understand my case in enough detail to provide Dr. Bonzon was a good starting place for going into more detail with me. My subsequent interactions with Dr. Bonzon surpassed my expectations which were already high from talking with my family doctor. Most of all I now feel that I have a chance of repairing back and returning to some level of normality, And I'm looking forward to working with him in the coming months.

The Dr. Listened and he answered all my questions

Finally, after months and months of speaking with doctors, I found a caring doctor in Dr. Christopher J. Bonzon, who listened to and heard me. He is all about taking appropriate action, which I am grateful for.

Dr Bonzon is great- very thorough w full explanations of the problem and possible treatments. I highly recommend him!

Professional and thorough, with care and concern

I’ve known Dr Wall having worked with him nearly 20years ago. He is an excellent physician and surgeon. I have referred 4 family members and a few good friends to him over the years, all with knee or shoulder injuries, and they received excellent care and had successful outcomes. So of course when I have an injury myself, I go see him too. He is one of the best in the Bay Area and as long as he is operating and treating patients, I will continue to recommend him and see him myself.

My experience with Dr. Saal and his staff has been, to say the least, exceptional. So good, that I reside in Yosemite National Park and I still travel to see him and his team, that's how good and how satisfied I am with the care from them. Thanks Dr. Saal!

Excellent

My husband has had very severe pain in his periauricular area of his neck for almost 9 months. His quality of life has diminished about 80%. Having taken pain meds and anti inflammatory drugs over this period of time but to no avail. he saw Dr Bonson on Friday July 7. Dr Bonson was very informative and has arranged for injection into the cervical site. We await a date and time for the procedure. Thank you Dr Bonson for your professional input. Sincerely Elizabeth "Lily" Hagan

Dr, Keane at Soar Spine has been my physiatrist for over 15 years. He has treated my back for all these years and because of him I have been able to live a comfortable life. It is a pleasure to be his patient!

Dr Saal has been taking care of me for 20 years. He kept me from a wheel chair. I had a real stupid attack and picked up something way too heavy messing up 4-5 lumbar disks. I know and trust that his staff always has my health first on agenda. A fine sense of humor is always provided too. Clean, orderly, and always showing concern for us folks getting worked on. No kidding, feels like family and none would ever be turned away from my camp fire.( house) Oh, by the way, he can sing really well too. Thankyou Dr Saal for your years of working with me. Sincerely Don B.

Great service, on time, personal

I dealt with nerve symptoms from a bulging cervical disc and lumbar annular fissure for about 12 years before meeting with Dr. Saal. Multiple epidurals and years of PT with no resolution. I am a year out from cervical and lumbar transformational injections and am SO GRATEFUL for Dr. Saal and team. Nerve symptoms are essentially nonexistent, no more constant neck and low back pain. I can't thank him, and the team, enough for helping improve my quality of life.

At the very first meeting, I was very comfortable meeting Dr. Bonzon. He was extremely polite and kind. After my first appointment, I felt the doctor was very knowledgeable and explained my issues to my understanding.

Dr Saal is a wonderful physician. He listened, asked excellent questions and gave thoughtful, complete answers to my questions.

Minimal wait time, Very pleasant MA and Dr. Keane is very nice and listens to patients concerns and addresses best treatment plan.

Long wait in the office. Dr Saal is knowledgeable and competent.

Great service and experience over the years I been using them for my many ailment related to my back and neck.

Thorough and professional

I had not seen Dr. Keane since last August. He was well prepared and knowledgeable about my case. He was reassuring and recommended the continuation of physical therapy.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Bonzon. He listens carefully & patiently to my concerns. He’s so good at communicating his thoughts about my issues as well as translating the results of my MRI. He gives me options without pressuring me on my choices. I always recommend him to others and have been thanked by them after they were treated by him. He just has lovely “bedside” manners. I’ve had great results from his treatment.

I’ve been seeing Dr Wall since 1997. He always gets me back to doing what I want to do in spite of some serious injuries, surgeries and rehabs. The best!!!! Thx!!

I have known Dr. Lehnert on a professional level as well as being a patient for about 25 years I have the highest regards for Dr Lehnert as a physician and individual I recommend his services when it’s appropriate

I recommend SOAR all the time. You have managed to keep this broken down body of mine still going. Thanks to Dr. Saal and Wall!

Great!

Top Facility Top Physicians All staff personnel are friendly and helpful

I have been a patient of Dr. Keane’s for over 25 years . He has also treated my daughter and mother over the years. He is compassionate, thorough and professional. I can always rely on his medical expertise and trust his medical opinions 100 percent. He is an all around exceptional person as well as physician.

Always good advice on how to remain active and pain free. Dr Saal has expertise in spine and back care that has been invaluable as I age.

Initial visit

Good communicator, listens and clearly explains treatment options. Have had two successful surgeries with Dr. Wall.

Dr. Saal is on top of new medicine. I love his bedside manor. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent

Doctor was very clear and thorough of his finding and the plan of actions for the future.

I continue to see Dr. Joel Saal after more than 25 years because he remains effective and current in his treatment of my cervical and lumbar spine condition. Though my conditions are degenerative Dr Saal asseses my medical needs and has applied a variety of clinical approaces which have allowed me to participate and stay active in my life. I appreciate this result and have benefitted from continued ability to both work and recreate as time has progressed and the damage to my spine has continued. progressed.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Keane’s for many years. As an athlete, I have a lifetime of sports injuries and general wear-and-tear. I've been treated by Dr. Keane to address my numerous nerve and back issues and he's helped temper my debilitating pain with various modalities including performing epidural injections and (in-office) trigger-point injections. Dr. Keane is always up-front and clear about setting expectations and providing alternative options for relief and care, including appropriate referrals. I’ve never once felt rushed when seeing Dr.Keane for office visits. He possesses a calming presence, has exceptional listening skills and truly cares about his patients. He and his staff are professional, accommodating, and eager to help.

He’s thorough in his examination, and referred me to a doctor that can treat my orthopedic needs.

very helpful

Dr. Bonzon is amazing! I feel so blessed to have him as my doctor. I saw him yesterday for a Cortizone injection in my shoulder. I hate, absolutely hate needles! Dr. Bonzon is so gentle, explains every little thing he is doing and what you can expect to feel, and I have no problem getting a needle from him. He is a blessing!!

Friendly and comfort environment. Professional and detailed explanation with recommendation

After many years of dealing with a sciatic back condition and a flare up Dr Bonzon was able to diagnose and explain my condition in a way no other doctor had been able to before, down to which disks and which nerves are affected. He knows a few simple movement tests to do and based on the responses he can pinpoint the condition, to prescribe the correct treatment. I was pretty impressed.

Dr. Bonzon is simply the best! He is kind, thorough, and accommodating. He is willing to discuss various options and never makes you feel rushed. He’s an incredible clinician and just a good person. I recommend him without hesitation. Sylvia and the rest of the office staff are great as well!

I have been a patient of Dr. Joel Saal for more than a decade. He has helped me through several long-term chronic issues. I would be lost without him

Dr Joel Saal is knowledgeable, caring and brilliant. He knows exactly what is wrong and does not dismiss your symptoms. It is worth me flying out from Virginia to see him. Dr Saal is the only doctor in 25 years that knew what is wrong with me and how to treat my symptoms . He deals with your entire body. First class doctor !!!

Dr. Bonzon always does his best to help me get some relief from back pain. Awesome doctor because he listens and has compassion for his patients .

Great care and follow up

Caring and friendly employees. Dr. Saal knows his “stuff”. He is thoughtful and concise in his diagnosis. He lays out the options for rehabilitation and repair. He has helped both my wife and I greatly.

Everyone polite and professional

I love Dr.Bonzon! He always does his best and helps me a lot. Jane Himmert

Everything was excellent Thank you

Rather a long wait to see the doctor, but I think it was worth it!

Trust this man, he knows what he is doing.

Dr Wall was very thorough about what he's going to do

I have been seeing Dr. wall for various afflictions for over 35 years. He is knowledgeable, talented, and personable. I highly recommend him!

I’ve seen Dr Bonzon for over 10 years for back issues. He’s friendly and also very professional. I like that he’s a great listener and is thorough when explaining something to me. Dr Bonzon comes to talk to me before and after I have a procedure done in the Redwood City procedure center. In the years I’ve seen Dr Bonzon, I see that he cares for his patients. The staff in the office in Sam Jose and Redwood City are great.

I’ve gone to Soar for about 20 years for neck and back issues. Dr Bonzon for my back for overThe doctors have been great and the staff in the office and procedure center are great.

I appreciated Dr. Bonzon giving me a call back when I was not able to take his call earlier that evening. Dr. Bonzon is always professional and friendly, following up on my health, as well as my well-being/family.

Thanks as always, Dr. Bonzon

Dr. Bonbon is fantastic. I have complete trust in him with my care.

Everyone was nice and efficient! I had a short wait for Dr. Saal.

Love the staff and Dr. Saul. Staff is very accommodating and could tell hi ow much pain I was in when I first walked in. I was very impressed and relieved because I knew instantly that I was I. Good hands

Dr Joel Saal is a rock star and his staff especially Cassandra are amazing

Dr. Joel Saal is the absolute BEST! He is a fantastic diagnostic doctor and offers multiple options for back pain relief!

Excellent Great informative

Professional takes the time to answer questions and plan

Dr Bonzon took his time to listen to me, explain what he thought could be the issue. He then discussed a game plan moving forward.

Very friendly and caring. A very pleasant office to visit.

Great

Wonderful doctor who is always available and gives me brilliant advice and support

Thinking MD and great warm professional interaction with me.

Dr Saal was friendly and professional. Listened to my complaints with compassion. He offered me his best ideas of what the problem may be, and prescribed accordingly. Very nice man. His assistant Jessica is great.

Best doctor

I am working with Dr. Bonzon on what is turning out to be a difficult issue, namely thoracic steroidal anti-inflammatory injections related to severe post-herpetic neuralgia at thoracic levels 2, 3 & 4. Dr. Bonzon has consulted with Dr. Gamburd about this, and is now contacting a fellow physiatrist at UCSF for further ideas of a solution. In this matter, just as in previous interactions for other issues, Dr. Bonzon has shown himself to be the ideal physician, willing to listen to the patient and to explain relevant anatomy coherently. Sincerely, John G. H. Cant

I respect Dr. Buntic’s deep knowledge and experience, as well as his kind, positive, and honest way of relating to me as my wrist heals. I’ve already been recommending him whole-heartedly.

Dr Joel Saal has been very helpful to my back issues and much more.

Dr Saal listened to my story and gave me a clear picture of what was going on and what courses of action we could take.

Very clear and concise

Very good and very attentive. Waited a little bit in the office.

Dr Bonzon is the best

outstanding

Everyone is helpful and attentive but we were completely frustrated by your phone system. It is awful. No one picks up the phone

Chris is excellent! He goes out of his way to help me!

Fantastic !!!

Sylvia and Cassandra went above and beyond to get my images to Dr. Joel Saal quickly enough so he could diagnose and clear me in time for travel. I have benefited from Dr. Saal’s care for over 30 years and highly recommended him!

Very hands on and explained what he saw with my foot and gave suggestions for surgery options

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Bonzon. He truly feels like a partner in the care and progression of a few back issues I've had. After seeing multiple doctors and getting confusing response (many differing opinions with little explanation for course of treatment), I was relieved to first meet Dr. Bonzon. He spent 90 minutes with me, showing me things on my MRI that others had not explained. He could tell from looking at the images exactly where my pain would be and he was right. Up until that point, I had received blank feedback when I described my pain and was seeking to understand if it was indeed related to my back. While my road is long and there is no quick fix, I am grateful to have the compassionate, wise direction of Dr. Bonzon.

I would highly recommend Soar due to my care under Dr. Bonzon, he is a personable, caring, professional. He is treating me for back issues I have had for years. The treatments are working & am able to function normally. Also a shout out to Evelyn & Sylvia who have been more than accommodating if an issue comes up. They make a great team!!!

Dr Keane has been my main physician for treating my spine, since 1994. He is specifically a Physiatrist. He is the most dedicated, knowledgeable, caring physician I have ever dealt with. He listens well and advises according to what’s best for you. He has rescued my well being many many times throughout the years .

Always good to get my knees checked by Dr Wall.

Dr. Bonzon, is a consummate diagnostician with a great basis of knowledge, common sense, and empathy.

We were seen right on time, and Dr. Lehnert took action rather than mess around!

Good

I have been seeing Dr Saal for years. He always is encouraging and giving lots of time to me.

Dr Wall is the best orthopedic surgeon. He takes the time to explain and show you his findings, and his diagnostic and surgical skills are top notch.

Great

Toe nail service. I trim my toenails with steady hands and am therefore most appeciative of his thorough service. Good luck at new location. David

Professional care was provided Vist was on time and promptly

Dr. Lehnert, worked me in and did a great job of explaining my issue to me. We built a plan for going forward.

Excellence! As always.

Professional, very knowledgeable, great listener, excellent explainer, caring!

Dr Bonzon is great. Very friendly, explains everything answers all questions. Really makes yo feel at ease. The office staff is great, very friendly too!

No problem. A bit late.

Already did!

Dr Wall is a rockstar!!! Glad he took care of me . I just listened to his advice for recovery and recovered 100%. The surgery was a 100% success , never really endured any pain what so ever . Had full mobility of my shoulder within a week . I was truly blessed to have a good doctor especially from all the horror stories of other people’s experiences with shoulder surgery. Again … Thank you soooo much Dr. Wall

Thoughtful patient care both by the doctor as well as staff. Dr. Jeffrey Saal does a great job of explaining the physical situation as well as options. I would recommend him highly

Helpful consults and treatments. Communication with Doc is challenging to achieve - modern text portal would save the staff and the patient time.

Dr. Saal is very professional & thorough. Explained my MRI results & showed me what damage had been done to the discs.

My,Dr Keane, Is the most caring and committed his love and compassion for all of his patients and staff. Best Doctor ever ❤

Dr. Bonzon took the time to explain the images of MRI in detail. He has great empathy for the patients health and concerns

Super knowledgeable, have worked with elite athletes. Good balance between PT and rehab can surgery.

Dr Saal has helped both myself and my husband in our back pain, successfully lessening our pain a great deal. We will continue to seek Dr Saal should any future pain return.

I had a ruptured anterior tibial tendon. My friend from our senior soccer group suggested me to consult “SOAR Spine and Orthopedics”. Through this medical group of professionals, I met the right doctor for my problem, Dr. Bruce Lehnert, DPM Dr. Bruce Lehnert listened to me very well about my injury and he explained in detail such problem and what can be done. I appreciated his detailed explanations of his approach to my surgery which made me confident and comfortable. From consultations, pre-operation, surgery, to post-operation, Dr. Bruce Lehnert and his team provided me excellent care exceeding my expectations. I am very thankful to him and his team for excellent care and friendly treatment I received. In view of all the above, I have a very high regard for Dr. Bruce Lehnert and his team and I highly recommend their practice/medical group “SOAR Spine and Orthopedics” to my family, relatives, friends and others that may ask advice. John salud

Very thorough explanation of condition and how to proceed with further diagnosis.

Attentive and pleasant staff greeted me. A short wait later a medical assistant usher me to a room where I was to be examined. She asked many pertinent questions which I answered to the best of my ability, and she left the room whereupon a brief moment later the doctor entered. He was kind, patient, professional, and was just of whom I was in need. I am very pleased and feel fortunate to have been referred to the practice.

Dr Bonzon was a great listener and showed empathy for my situation plus a viable solution. It was a great experience.

Dr. Bonzon is the best which is why we travel over four hours to see him whenever we need to

Super experience Grest analysis to diagnose problem and provide solution

Excellent experience.

The staff is very professional and personable. Dr Bonzon is great and very knowledgeable and really listens to the patient. I would highly recommend him.

Doctor Keane was easy to talk to.

Dr. Bonzon is very responsive and understanding.

Dr. Keane was very good at explaining my condition and what the various options would be. Empathetic, thorough and most helpful.

Dr. Keane listened to my concerns, offered a couple of options for how to proceed and I left with a plan of action.

Professional and friendly.

I love Dr. Keane and his acupuncture:)

Dr Lehnert really heard my concerns about solving for this foot pain and provided great info and alternatives to treatment.

2 Shoulder surgeries Knee injections

Dr. Lehnert is great he was the only doctor that diagnosed my foot issue Now, after surgery I’m back to a great recovery. The staff is awesome as well, especially Heather she went above and beyond with my care. I would recommend Dr. Lehnert and his staff to anyone with foot problems.

Kind & he listens. We seem to get things done. Thank you Dr. Keane

Dr. Jeff Saal is fantastic, but if I could make a suggestion…. I had a procedure done and my pain got worse, I called in the following Monday for an appt and could not get in until Thursday. I understand why I can’t get in on procedure days, but then couldn’t get in until 3 days later yikes! I couldn’t get in on Tues as there were 28 pts but could leave me on a cancelation list for that day, but got scheduled for Thursday:( my suggestion, as I work in dentistry and dentists do this, is to have at least 30 mins a day strictly for emergencies. I want to rate the office a 5 and Dr. Is a 5 but this really was disturbing. Thank you!

Thirough, attentive, responsive to my concerns.

Dr Kean is such a passionate healthcare provider.

Dr Jeff Saal and his staff are a top notch, professional and comprehensive care team. I have been a patient at SOAR for over 35 years and over the years I have traveled hours to receive his advice and treatment for my spine. I have the highest praise for Dr Saal and I have confidently recommend his practice to anyone who asks about my care team. It's so refreshing to have a doctor that treats you as he would his own family and genuinely cares about your outcome. I recently had a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted at Stanford Hospital and I can't help but to compare my experiences. I would wait 2-3 months to see the doctor I booked my appointment with at Stanford, only to be seen by another unknown Dr or a NP. Dr Saal on the other hand, sits down with you and spends time listening and together we moves forward to a treatment plan. It's called "good old fashioned medicine" something you just don't find anymore! I will forever be thankful for the care and support I have received from SOAR and Dr Saal.

I have had great advise for at least 30 years…. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Or to anybody else!!!!

Dr. K is terrific and so are the staff

superb and caring advice

Yes I have already recommended Dr Saal and Soars clinic to several friends

Great connection with Dr. Bonzon

Good patient care. Dr Bonzon cares.

Professional and attentive care.

Dr Keane is the most considerate and understanding doctor I have ever encountered. He always takes the time to fully discuss the issues & options involved. He’s a gem of a practitioner.

Bruce is the best

Dr Lehnert is excellent and very helpful in advice. He explains the problem & options for treatment starting with the least invasive. I would recommend him to anyone with foot issues!
