In patients' words
"I was bone on bone in the wrist. I did a lot of research and by far Dr. Darbandi was one of the best in the nation. He did a complex surgery wrist surgery called a Proximal Row Carpectomy. I am pretty much fixed based on what he had to deal with."
— Patient review on Birdeye"The arm mimics my movements in small, hard-to-reach places, meaning the patient typically has less pain after surgery and recovers quickly."
— Dr. Galan describing Mako robotic system on Adventist Health website"Well, procedure schedule here by our doctor. We had a procedure scheduled for noon on a certain day. They call us that morning at 8:00 and tell us to show up at 11:00 if we could. So rushed got dressed and headed out the door. ... It is now well passes noon and we're still sitting."
