Excellent doctor trained and skilled in his specialty.
The staff were kind and professional..Xray tech., intake and Dr. Nathani as well. Doctor was thorough in his expianation of my injuries and my options for treatment. Physical therapy lady could use a little o.j.t in courtesy as she was abrupt with me. Premises was well kept. All in all a positive experience.
I haven’t had my shoulder surgery yet so I can’t speak to his talent there. But up until now every interaction with him has been wonderful and very confidence building. The office and the way the message system is run is actually very good and I was never left hanging. I’m happy with my choice of surgeon.
Warm friendly and very efficient. I could not ask for a better care.
Dr. Nathani and his staff provided a really helpful experience when I broke my foot. I needed to be seen that day and they squeezed me in and were very professional.
She was wonderful. She took the time to give me options and her procedure was painless.
Saw Jenna for a reoccurring shoulder issue,..so glad to get a shot in the arm. If surgery is required I'm confident I'm in good hands with the whole team.
Dr Nathani is amazing! Staff is on point! Thanks Hutch for having the best team!
Dr Nathani is a consummate professional and so incredibly human. I realize Alta Orthopedics sees a large number of patients. However, Dr Nathani ensures that his patients are treated as individuals.

I have had experiences with my knee and two other surgeons before I met. Dr. Nat. He is the finest physician I have seen for this condition. He doesn’t pressure me for surgery, explains things thoroughly and I feel confident about how we will proceed to get me back to good health. I highly recommend him.
Very approachable and thorough with explanation and communication.
Good doctor. However, I see no treatment notes in my chart, which would indicate a diagnosis or prognosis. Very unusual, so I thought I would mention it.
