Patient Reviews
Feb 23, 2026
After a traumatic shoulder injury and unhelpful visits to other doctors, Dr. Colyvas was able to quickly diagnose the issue. He took the time to clearly explain my MRI results, and why he recommended surgery.I had full confidence in his team at UCSF, and I’m on a clear path to recovery post-surgery. Couldn’t recommend Dr. Colyvas enough!
