Andrew J Wassef, MD

I was referred to Dr. Andrew Wassef by my primary care physician last year because of the pain I was experiencing from the arthritis in my hip. I liked Dr. Wassef immediately because he is so personable and very proactive with my care. I had hip replacement surgery on June 10, 2015. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. When I went for my first physical therapy eval. post surgery, the supervising physical therapist asked who did my surgery. When I told him who had done it, he said that he could tell he did a very good job. My follow up visits with Dr. Wassef have been great too. I have arthritis in my right knee so he has been checking that as well as the progress of my hip. Over the past year, I have resumed my active lifestyle, going to the gym several times a week, walking my dogs twice a day, singing with my two choirs and whatever else I wanted to do. My hip feels great.
I think Dr. Wassef’s office staff is great too. They got everything scheduled for the surgery and dealt with some insurance issues, resolving them completely. They are always friendly and willing to help.

Do not come here! THE OFFICE STAFF IS INCOMPETENT. They lack everything from basic professionalism all the way to just knowing how to fucking smile. They lost my disability forms and kept telling me to wait for a call. They dicked me around for a month before these idiots realized they’d lost my paperwork and chart! It’s appalling how disorganized they are. Unfortunately, this reflects back onto the doctor. Despite the fact that he’s great, these pencil pushing desk gerks ruin everything. What good is it that’s he’s a good doctor if your office staff are a bunch of dumb asses? Not a good look… I’m very upset that they just simply don’t care about how this affects the patient and their life. They are careless because it’s not THEY’RE fridge that will go empty. Or THEY’RE bills that go unpaid. I only gave this place another chance because the office manager promised to rectify getting off to a bad start. Wow. What bullshit! Against my better judgment, I believed her. Meanwhile, i was blaming the disability office. This office dropped the ball big time. I have no respect for any of these lame bitches.

The Dr. is very personable. Very patient. But my biggest issue is the wait time. My first visit wait time was 45 min, my second 1hr and 15min, my 3^rd and last, was 2hrs. I didn’t leave because I needed something signed. Otherwise I would have bailed. A poor old woman was there even longer than me, a woman in a walker, and a family were being asked to re schedule even after sitting there for 2 plus hours. Absolutely ridiculous. His support staff (secretaries and glorified nurses) were rude and tried to shift the blame. But his practice were the losers who caused the problem. You’re going to force a lady in a walker to choose to reschedule and shuffle back in pain to her car or sit for more than the 2 ½ hours? All because it looks like you consistently over book and have your insincere secretary tell her, «There are people in front so you can sit down and wait or you can reschedule.» Will never go again. Like I said, good Dr. it is his practice of over booking and unprofessional waiting times I have an issue with. It is a shame.

I went to see Dr. Wassef for some issues with my knee (ACL and meniscus issues). He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, genuinely listened, and worked with me to provide a short term and long term plan, which can be hard to find with physicians. I could not have asked for more, and highly recommend him to anybody that is having any orthopedic issues.

AndrewJ Wassef, MD did a great job on my mom’s knee replacement surgery. He is Polite and Professional. We couldn’t have chosen a better Dr.

In my eyes he is an angel. He gave me so much by fixing me leg and giving me the use of my leg that had been previously injured. It is the best that it’s been in 18 yrs.
My case was supposed to be a total knee replacement with hardware removal easy right. When he opened my leg he found that my leg was disintegrating and peeling away inside my leg. Any other doctor would have closed me up and said no way. But being the great doctor he is he reconstructed my leg and the put in my new knee.
Thanks to him I have a new leg and knee. I feel better than I have in a long time. He has change my life forever and I will never be able to thank him enough.
He has a great bedside manner always making you feel special and treats our families the same way. I come all way from Fresno because I don’t want anyone else treating me.
If you have the opportunity to choose him you are making a great choice.

I went in to see Dr. Wassef for an ankle injury last month. It was a great experience from the front desk to completion of the visit. Dr. Wassef was easy to talk to and answered all of my questions. It was clear that he was very knowledgeable about this type of injury and I highly recommend him.
