Dr. Michael Eagan, MD

I had 2 complete knee replacements with this dr in the last year and I am so happy that I could cry. He has the best bedside manner and both knees are pain free. I can finally play with the grand kids again. Thanks doc!

I had a motorcycle wreck and almost died. The emergency doctors saved me and put me on full life support. I broke both femur bones, pelvis, shin bone, and my foot. I had 6 operations and have pins rods and plates in all the bones but everything is normal again. Dr Eagan put everything together and seen me for a year after. He is always been nice and takes care of everything I need- disability, rehab, pain pills. Only problem is he is real busy so sometime I have to wait a little while to see him but I owe this man my life so it’s not a big deal. If you have an accident, go see him. All the people in his waiting room always saying the same thing.

Dr Eagan performed a knee arthroscopy surgery in December 2016. During the surgery he used the heel of his hand (he wrote this in his surgical notes) to seat the prosthetic into my tibia. Unfortunately the popatiel artery and nerve bundle were in the way and became 80% severed. KMC left me unconscious for over 10 hours looking for a vascular surgeon to repair the damage and transporting me 100 miles to UCLA. Really 10 hours! Ended up with compartment syndrome and a fasciotimy, vascular repairs, then left with equine contracture and eventually an ankle fusion. So I give Dr Eagan an F, NO STARS and advice to find a different doctor without the ego.

Dr Eagan is an excellent Surgeon. I was lucky enough to have him do surgery on both of my elbows earlier this year. I will forever be grateful for him giving use of my arms back!!

Dr. Eagan operated on my son and repaired a broken femur. I cannot heap enough praise onto Dr. Eagan for taking such great care of my son. Thanks Dr. Eagan. SOme of the marks I will leave below aren't under Dr. Eagan's control. The hospital he works at has some procedural problems to solve.

Best bone doctor ever!!!

My adult son broke his Left Leg - compound fractures of Fibula, & taken to a Hospital that could not work on such difficult case! He was transported to KMC where we met Dr. Eagan and he cleaned the area, bandaged him up and the following morning performed the Surgery! We are so greatful to him for his kindness, expertise & he was frank about it all! We also met so many other Dr's and Nurses that helped during the process! Also, hospital stay of 4 days and all the staff there were great!

Dr. Eagan fixed my broken pelvis after no one else in town would touch me and the ambulance took me to a different hospital first. Everyone I came into contact with who had knowledge of him had nothing but glowing things to say. He put my mind at ease as soon as I met him. Although he did warn me that the surgery would be difficult and risky because of my age, his confidence gave me confidence. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an expert orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Eagan performed an emergency open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) surgery on my femur fracture in Feb 2016 at KMC. During the surgery, he made an unnecessary 8'' incision in my thigh which caused a propionibacterium acnes infection and led to my fracture becoming "non-union". After 7 months of no bone union, I had to have a second ORIF surgery with a different surgeon and was put on 3 months of antibiotics to clear the infection, which finally allowed my fracture to heal. Avoid!

I was referred to Dr. Eagan from another hospital to repair a fracture of my femur near my hip replacement. I was originally told that I would have to be transferred to LA to fix the break because it's a difficult surgery. Little did I know that an expert named Dr Eagan was right here in Bakersfield. He fixed me the next day and I was home 2 days later. His bedside manner was excellent. Everyone at the hospital said he is the best and now I can say I agree.
