Dr. G is truly the best of the best. He takes so much care of his patients by advocating for them as well as providing thorough explanations and rationales for treatment. He collaborates and ensures a client centered approach to treatment. I have the utmost respect for him and am so grateful for all he has done for my knee!
Was hardly able to walk due to very bad knee swelling. Went in for consult & had fluid aspiration with cortisone injection & the mobility in the knee was much improved the next day. Expect to have my previous mobility back before the very bad knee swelling in no time. Dr. Ghilarducci is a very good orthopedic surgeon. I have been seeing him since 2006 for various issues & have had 3 surgeries with him since 2013. Highly recommend!
The staff was very friendly, I was seen promptly and I really liked Dr Ghilarducci. He was kind, competent, and straightforward in the way he explained everything.
I trust that Dr. Ghilarducci is one of the best Orthopedics in Ventura County. He has resolved my pain in a couple of occasions and would continue to go to him as needed. Very compassionate and understanding. Explains everything thoroughly step by step and makes sure you are at ease and all your questions are answered before you leave.
Dr. G is very knowledgeable and very patient. He thoroughly explains things and his rationale. In addition he takes the time to answer any and all questions. Very impressed with the quality of care at Ventura Orthopedics.
Dr. Ghilarducci consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and dedication to providing exceptional care. He is thorough in assessing all aspects of my treatment and takes the necessary time to explain his findings while actively listening to my concerns and questions.
Dr. Ghilarducci has been helping me through my knee pain for years now and I greatly appreciate it. Unfortunately, now I need a knee replacement due to my arthritis but I know I have nothing to worry about and he will do an exceptional job as he did for a friend of mine.
Dr. Ghilarducci did a fantastic job on my knee. I recommend him for your orthopedic needs.
