Due to an injury over a decade ago, I had lingering knee pain that kept getting worse as I got older. After much deliberation with guidance from Dr. Snibbe, we decided surgery was the best course of action. I was under the knife within a week of that decision and it couldn't have gone better. Surgery took about an hour and I walked out of the surgery center. I was told that with rest and rehab it would take me three months to be back to full use of my knee with no restrictions. A few days ago, I got the all clear... a full month ahead of schedule!! I've still got a ways to go before

Dr. Snibbe is at a different level! Obviously he is a surgeon that is at the top of his game! What sets him apart: He treats each and every patient that they are his utmost priority! He gives you his undivided attention while he is evaluating you! Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr Snibbe! I had a bilateral knee replacement a year ago December. I'm back to working out and can walk for over 2 hrs at a time! Dr. Snibbe is the best!

I wanted to start Karate again but my hip bone deformity prevented me. Dr. Snibbe reshaped the bone and repaired the labrum in my right hip. After recovery I have returned to full Karate practice.

DOCS Surgery Center used OutcomeMD to measure my symptoms before and during my treatment.

My Hip Symptom Score was 38 before surgery and my score has improved to 89 so far!

Thank you DOCS Surgery Center and Dr. Snibbe for helping me get such a great outcome!

Very thorough and detailed exam for my 14 year old son with immediate X-ray on the premises. Doctor and staff took their time to answer questions and explain and exam did not feel rushed. Highly recommend.

I wonder if Medicare patients get worst care from him? I certainly did. My right knee was ruined. Did he really do my surgery, or one of his students? He tried to claim i fell on it , but i DID NOT FALL AT ALL. It simply fell apart, and the second surgery left me unable to climb stairs properly. The pain has now lasted 6 years. If you are not rich don't use him. He will cripple you.

I know Dr. Snibbe is a great surgeon. Gluteus medius tear repair is not performed by many surgeons. I am 2 weeks post surgery. No prescription for PT. Do not know how much I can walk at this stage of recovery. Left 4 messages for PT script. Left messages last week for PA. No response. Frustrating and concerned. I am an NP myself and worked for surgeons for 17 years. Expected more from his staff'

After taking an unfortunate tumble while skiing, Dr. Snibbe replaced my torn ACL with a hamstring graft. My recovery couldn't have gone more smoothly! I'm 8 weeks post-surgery and completely pain free! I'm so grateful to Dr. Snibbe and his wonderful staff for all of their time and expertise. This dream team is magic!

Dr Snibbe and his staff rock! I had left knee replacement after being in major pain for a year and a half and limping around! Other doctors wanted only a partial. After checking out my knees he saw the issues amd realized a partial would not do job and I would still be in pain. Needless to say got it done! Best decision! And I'll be getting other done soon as realized walking with nonpain is AWESOME! The staff is efficient amd informative! Really impressed with Jason, Jennifer, Nick, Marco, Abe, and the nurses at DOCS Surgical Hospital rock!

Get out of pain and get er done!

I've had 5 hip surgeries with 3 replacements. I know a good doctor. Jason Snibbe is one of the best. Some patients on here will complain and say he did this or didn't do that. He's too busy he hurt my feelings. Each one of us are responsible for our outlook, rehab, and bodies. Dr.Snibbe is unbelievable and a master. He can fix or repair the bones, ligaments, and connective tissue. He did all this for me. It's us patients that have to then do the work of getting ourselves strong and functioning.
Loose weight, walk all the time, work out, actually do the physical therapy, and

In February, I fell while skiing down the steepest slope in Mammoth. Well, I tore my ACL. Note to everyone: apparently, skiing is one of the most common ways to tear your ACL and other knee injuries, due to your foot being stuck in a boot on a ski, and so when you fall, your knee has nowhere to bend.

Anyway, six weeks ago, Dr Snibbe did my ACL surgery. It's a tough process, but Dr Snibbe was awesome. The surgery was great. I have many friends who are surgeons and they say Dr Snibbe is fantastic -- so, that's high praise. What I know is I can feel my knee improving so much, every day

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Jason Snibbe.
As a Virgo Complementary Healthcare professional,
unlike a normal patient, I am very critical of those I choose to take care of me. By the way, if anyone cares, he is also a Virgo.

I expect great skill, a kind heart and respectful
communication. I do feel he fulfills all those
requirements. Also, for me, as a hobbyist
songwriter I was happy to hear he is also
a musician ...not that it is relevant to his
surgical skills nor that he advertises
that of course but I found it in his CV
because I do dig deep and it is relevant
to ME. It means that

I have a labral hip tear and I'd like to see Dr. Snibbe for a third and final opinion as I've heard good things about him. Unfortunately, no one picks up the phone or returns *multiple* voicemails to simply set up a consultation time. I've literally called the office 5 times in the span of the last 2 months and left short, concise voicemails - no response. This is super disappointing. I understand that he's in demand and sometimes voicemails get lost. Hence, all my repeated attempts. But seriously, no call back after all these voicemails over the span of 2 months?

Update: After

I only gave this one star because there was nothing lower.

I was scheduled for surgery and wanted to speak to the doctor because I had several questions.
I called and I called and left messages week in and week out. Today I finally gave up and told them that I wanted to cancel my surgery. I was informed that the doctor was too busy to talk to me and when I told them that I wanted to cancel the surgery they said fine and hung up.

Dr. Snibbe is an excellent surgeon. I had my hip replacement surgery about 2 years ago and the surgery and post op care was excellent. At 73 I have never walked more or enjoyed my mobility more than I do know. A word of advice don’t procrastinate. The pain won’t subside or go away. The procedure is pain free and I was up and about in a week.
Thanks again Dr. Snibbe.
