Of course, I love Dr. Ansari! He took great care of me when I had to have my right rotator cuff taken care of in 2008. He was my doctor in 2020 when my left shoulder was giving me pain with just an order of PT and I got better. And now in 2025, he explained to me that I have calcific tendonitis in that shoulder but that it should go away with home exercises. No surgery, no PT. As busy as he was, he took the time to answer my question. I'll have Dr. Ansari take care of me any day. I trust him fully.

I’ve had knee problems for over three years. I finally setup an appointment with Dr Irfan Ansari. He was helpful, didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear but he was honest, upfront and advised I need knee replacement. I asked about other options and his answer was “I will give you a shot and take your money if you want but that is not what you need, it will not help”. I kinda thought that but not what I wanted to hear; Bone on bone with arthritis. He has a great bedside manner and very knowledgeable with knees and shoulders (he did surgery on my husband, both shoulders and he did an awesome job. No problems and it been a few years). Trust goes a long way and we do trust him. In our opinion he’s the best in the this field. He does not do the knee replacement, referred us to Dr Yarbrough.
