What Our Patients Say

"Dr. Sah is my hero and has restored my faith in the fact that there are excellent doctors out there that are experts in their field and also care deeply about their patients. You just have to be lucky enough to find them, in this case, Dr. Sah! Dr. Sah recommended anterior hip replacement. I am thrilled to say he did a masterful job. The surgery was smooth and flawless. I was pain-free immediately and walking without a walker or cane in 2 days. I was very pleased and extremely impressed with Dr. Sah and his entire team. They are all so dedicated, caring and truly experts in their field. My entire experience was and continues to be exceptional. MY THANKS & GRATITUDE to Dr. Sah (& his team) for restoring my quality of life and for building an amazing practice that feels like a big happy family."

DM, San Jose
"Simply the BEST Hip and Knee surgeon! Dr Sah is a master at what he does.. and has made my experience pretty much free of fear and pain.. this is not your Mama's hip replacement for sure! Up and walking within a couple hours of surgery.. and slept in my own bed at home the same night!! Totally Amazing! Dr Sah and staff have this replacement gig down to a fine art! Thank you Dr Sah, your staff and the team at Washington Hospital for my wonderful new hip!"

SL, Moss Beach
"Thank you Dr. Sah and your tremendous staff. I am now 70, still pain free and very active again all because of SAH Orthopaedic Associates Institute for Joint Restoration. If you are contemplating this procedure, your search should end here for results that will restore your body and mind. I wish Dr. Sah was my neighbor so I could thank him everyday in person."

RH, Valley Springs
"I had a partial knee replacement from Dr Sah after 6 previous surgeries on my left knee. The results have been life changing. After more than 30 years of daily pain I'm pain free. The recovery was quick and I was riding a bike and playing golf within 3 months. Keys to the success were Dr Sah's skill, getting into the best shape I could beforehand, losing weight and not missing a day of physical therapy after. I highly recommend Dr Sah, not only as a surgeon, but also as a caring healer."

GF, Wastonville
"I met with 3 knee surgeons to discuss a partial knee replacement, 2 in Santa Cruz and Dr. Sah in Fremont. Dr. Sah was hands down the most professional and knowledgeable. Even thought I would have to drive an hour to see him and the surgery would not be in my local hospital, it was a no brainer to chose him. The surgery and everything leading up to it with Dr. Sah was an amazing experience. All surgeons could learn from how Dr. Sah treats and educates his patients. The after care was just as amazing. It has been almost 4 months since my surgery, I am able to surf again and the do other things in life that are important to me."

WS, Santa Cruz
"Dr Sah performed a complicated revision of my knee which involved replacing all the old hardware. My first replacement 10 years ago, with another Dr/facility, had always been a problem and eventually caused damage to the bone and soft tissue.. I could not be happier with the outcome of my current procedure. I also hold Dr Sah and his staff in the highest esteem. They give the highest quality care with compassion and visible caring. I got all the time I needed during visits for my questions and had my email questions answered within a day. I also received at least a couple of phone calls at home from Dr Sah to check in with me. He gives extra-ordinary care. I wish I had found Dr Sah much earlier."

ML, Los Gatos
"I cannot say enough about this outstanding surgeon. Dr. Sah makes you feel like a person and not just a patient as he spends the time to connect with you and understand your story. He even sent a hand written letter to me after my intro visit before he even knew I was choosing him to perform both hip replacements. He also would call me periodically after each surgery to see how I was progressing, showing me he really cared. I highly recommend Dr. Sah. He replaced my awful degrading hips and gave me my life back. I can walk swiftly now and started weight lifting again, especially my lower body. It doesn’t get sweeter than that. I can now walk around comfortably with a smile on my face like I was once able to do."

BC, Danville
"It's been a year since Dr. Alexander Sah replaced my right knee,and eight weeks after that,my left knee. I was,for all intents and purposes, facing a life in a wheelchair, unable to go back to my home, reduced, possibly, to passing my days in an assisted living facility. Dr. Sah changed that. He didn't give me back my life...he gave me back a better life. If I had not become Dr. Sah's patient,I have no doubt that today I would be struggling with a limited,pain-filled life,most likely no longer capable of living in the home that I love,but in a "manageable" living space,possibly no longer able to drive,certainly not to be fully independent. This knee surgery,and the splendid care I received during those long months,has truly been a life-changing gift."
