Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding surgeon and even better person
Dr Lannie has always taken the time to discuss the treatment options and fully answer any questions I have had. His handing of my knee replacement was top notch and I always felt well informed and confident on the decided treatments. I loved the causal manner and personal attention he provided me and the excellent care he delivered.

I am an old patient of Dr. Lannin. He did both my hip revisions in '03 &'07. I was surprised to see he is still doing surgeries. I couldn't be happier because I need my hips done again. I live in Clovis, CA now but I would come to Palo Alto for him. He did an outstanding job.

If you are looking for an experienced, GREAT orthopedist for a TKA or partial look no further. Had a patella femoral arthroplasty a year ago. Works like I'm a teenager again. He is a kind, caring and respectful person all rolled into a seasoned brilliant physician. Honestly, I am so happy with my knee. Ironically, each time I leave his office I say to myself, "I need to work on being as good a person as my Doctor!"

I had a Total Knee Replacement. Dr Lannin is one of the most highly respected doctors for his acumen, results, and his fantastic personality. All my expectations were more than exceeded. Since the 5 years ago, recovery was quick (2 months), I'm totally ambulatory, no pain. Prior to surgery, in a calm, unrushed atmosphere, He explained what he felt were all my possible options (with possibilities and probabilities) to alleviate my Knee issue. Any and all questions were addressed. He is The Best!
