After explaining to my Primary Care how I was suffering knee pain. P C Jamie Thompson sent me to Dr Pamela Mehta. Thank you, Jamie. Dr Mehta is truly impressive, her knowledge is amazing, she talked with me listened to me and explained what it could be and that I will need an MRI. Dr Mehta went over the MRI with me and explained everything. It was a torn Meniscus. She gave an me cortisol injection; my nerves were on edge because (I'd never had one, and I wasn't sure what size needle, or how painful). Of course- it was nothing! "A piece of cake! " The needle was small, and no pain at all. I thank you, Dr Pamela Mehta, I am so glad to have found you.

I was in an accident that broke the metatarsals in my foot and the ER said surgery would be likely be necessary and would need to be done within a week or two. Her office went out of their way to get me in the next day. She was very detailed and thoughtful in her diagnosis and recommended a conservative approach of rest and physical therapy before going to surgery. I just had my 4 month follow up and things have healed up nicely and I am walking in shoes again. Everything about her office is fantastic. They answer the phones when you call, get you in and out of your appointment on time, and truly care about their patients.

After injuring my meniscus, I visited several orthopedic specialists who all recommended surgery. Seeking another opinion, I consulted Dr. Pamela Mehta at Resilience Orthopedics. Dr. Mehta stood out immediately with her thorough approach. She took time to understand my specific case and expertly diagnosed my condition. Rather than rushing to surgery, she confidently recommended PRP injections combined with specialized "knee over toe" exercises. Her intelligence and expertise were evident in how she explained the science behind each treatment component. The PRP injections were administered with precision, and she personally guided my rehabilitation exercises. Today, I'm completely pain-free without having undergone surgery. Dr. Mehta's exceptional combination of medical knowledge and genuine compassion made all the difference in my recovery. Her patient-centered approach and willingness to explore non-surgical options truly set her apart as an outstanding orthopedic specialist. If I do need surgery in the future, I would not hesitate to go here.Posted on Maneesh GogiaApril 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
