Gerhardt Michael, MD – Santa Monica Orthopaedic

This sports oath practice I have used more than several occasions.
Every time regardless of what doctor you see it is first rate, great staff.
Ok sometimes you wait a few more mins to see your doctor but hey its
a busy practice, parking you pay for the convenience. You can park on the
street if you want. I was there yesterday Paul was great got me comfy then I
meet A Dr Natasha, lovely lady she listened looked at X-​rays did a quick
pre up then Dr Kevin Ehrhart MD did his thing I came out much better
than when I entered.
Love this place highly recommend you get what you pay for excellence.

Dr. G is the best. Very skillful and knowledgable and doesn’t recommend unnecessary surgery. Highly recommend.

Dr Gerhardt is my hero. I couldn’t walk as I suddenly tore my meniscus. I’ve had problems with my knee ever since my two ACL repairs performed by a different doctor in NY. My husband and I have a newborn and Dr. Gerhardt and his wonderful staff did everything in their power to get me into surgery as soon as possible. He is extremely, kind, patient and thorough. I’m still healing but my leg is straight again and feeling good. I also have seen him when I broke my leg and wrist. All of them have been A+ experiences. So grateful for him and his entire team.

Dr. Michael Gerhardt is a great doctor. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he is committed to the well-​being of his patients. He explained the MRI results of my injury, which was a full thickness tear of my hamstring, and the surgical procedure to fix it. He answered all my questions. I was already impressed by his resume, publications, and surgeries posted online, definitely making him one of the leaders of 21^st century orthopaedic medicine, but I was even more impressed by his genuine desire to help. After a month of dragging my leg around and rocketing out of my seat, I was relieved to find out it could be fixed.
Few weeks later, Dr. Gerhardt repaired my hamstring. It feels amazing to be reattached and pain-​free. Five weeks on, and I am walking. I am grateful and thrilled to have received such excellent care from a talented surgeon, his kind and attentive assistant Edith, and the compassionate nurses at the Surgery Center of the Pacific.

I saw this doctor for a shoulder injury. I did some research so I asked some questions when he came in the room. He dismissed my questions and made me feel like a real idiot for asking them. He had a holier then thou attitude towards me. I felt like I was on an episode of dr house, except this doctor isn’t as good.
As a follow up, they destroyed my MRI films without me asking them to. The office staff who does his scheduling told me «Tough Shit».
Just another «puppy mill» for doctors. I also read in other Unilocal reviews this place double charges and overcharges. I would recommend James Tibone out of the USC practice if you really want some good care. He is the top orthopedic doctor in the area.
