Warm friendly and very efficient. I could not ask for a better care.
Dr. Nathani and his staff provided a really helpful experience when I broke my foot. I needed to be seen that day and they squeezed me in and were very professional.
She was wonderful. She took the time to give me options and her procedure was painless.
Saw Jenna for a reoccurring shoulder issue,..so glad to get a shot in the arm. If surgery is required I'm confident I'm in good hands with the whole team.
Dr Nathani is amazing! Staff is on point! Thanks Hutch for having the best team!
Dr Nathani is a consummate professional and so incredibly human. I realize Alta Orthopedics sees a large number of patients. However, Dr Nathani ensures that his patients are treated as individuals.

I have had experiences with my knee and two other surgeons before I met. Dr. Nat. He is the finest physician I have seen for this condition. He doesn’t pressure me for surgery, explains things thoroughly and I feel confident about how we will proceed to get me back to good health. I highly recommend him.
Very approachable and thorough with explanation and communication.
Good doctor. However, I see no treatment notes in my chart, which would indicate a diagnosis or prognosis. Very unusual, so I thought I would mention it.
Dr Nathani has a good bedside manner, takes time, listens, and answers questions; discusses possible treatment options, and administered PRP which proved to be an effective treatment for my rotator cuff tear
The office staff was very welcoming. Both the doctor and PA were kind and extremely helpful. Highly recommend Alta!!
