“I would like first to speak about my wife's experience with Dr. Glaser. Stoic that she is, my wife had had foot pain for several years before having an operation in the Bay Area. That operation, unfortunately, did not help much so she suffered for another year-and-a-half before Dr. Glaser diagnosed an additional adjustment that should have been made. In a matter of months, my wife was on her feet and vacationing abroad. Dr. Glaser's sharp eye and his experience and, I must say, his compassionate commitment to excellence brought happiness and vitality back into our lives. In my own case, I have come to value Dr. Glaser's prognoses so much that I come to him (should I say) about issues even if somewhat peripherally related to his specialty. I trust him thoroughly with my health because he sincerely cares about his medical profession and alleviating his patient's suffering. As a teacher, I know that Stanford grads produce some of the best educational curricula and research; likewise, Dr. Glaser is a Stanford grad who carries on the spirit of excellence in his field. I cannot close without saying that JoAnn Garcia, his assistant, also thoroughly cares for her patients. Today I was in pain, but I went to the office with a smile knowing that everyone--from front desk to examination room--would have my welfare at heart. All best wishes to everyone!”
– Marlin R.
“Dr. Glaser performed bunion surgery on both of my feet. He and his staff were all very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I am very happy with the results! I would recommend Dr. Glaser to anyone needing treatment!”
– Tanya J.
“Dr. Glaser was very kind and knowledgeable. I felt listened to. He was gentle when working with my injury and understood that I was in pain. He helped me to feel reassured in moving forward with my recovery. I would recommend Dr. Glaser.”
– Katelyn H.
“Dr. Glaser and his team made this experience wonderful. They listened to my concern and helped me make a decision if I should go through with surgery or not. They were very professional and had one of the best bedside manner that I have ever experienced while having surgery. I felt well taken care of and was able to heal properly with the guidance from Dr. Glaser and his team. I hope I never have to come back, but if I do I know exactly where I will come for my orthopedic needs.”
– Jamie F.
“Excellent medical treatment center.”
