Wall Michael

Dr. Wall took care of my son after he dislocated his shoulder playing football. Top notch job on his surgery. Small nit– he does tend to talk so fast your head spins, and his business is so busy that you frequently have to wait. However. if you are seeing him because you have an injury that needs fixing, it’s really the medical care that’s important right? He is unquestionably skilled, he’s pleasant and funny, you can tell he cares, and my son’s shoulder is doing great.

I saw Michael Wall in 2008 – 2009 for a bad shoulder joint at the Redwood City office of SOAR. I had previously gone to Warren King at PAMF (never again!), who completely misdiagnosed my bad joint for a rotator cuff injury. I don’t know if it’s because Wall knew he was the second opinion, or if he’s just that good, but he correctly diagnosed my problem in our first meeting.
He took the MRI, the descriptions I gave him of what type of treatment hadn’t worked in the past, looked at the radiologist’s report, and pointed to a «small» issue that they had overlooked which did happen to be what was causing my pain. We did a trial run with some cortisone to make sure he’d be doing surgery on the right spot, figured out it was right, and went through the surgery. I have full range of motion back, and am completely pleased.
I took off one star because while Michael Wall is a gifted surgeon who takes time to sketch out on the whiteboard what your problem is, he’s always on the go. I didn’t feel he ignored me, per se, but he was obviously always thinking 5 steps ahead to the next 20 things he needed to do while taking care of you as well.
I would completely recommend Michael Wall to anyone who needs their shoulder worked on.
