I have had the pleasure of not one but two Rotator Cuff surgeries From Dr Timmerman. She is a highly skilled and experienced Expert in her field! She was dead on about how to fix years of pain and left tiny little scars that look like a scratch. Dr Timmerman's staff are a finely honed group of compassionate and caring staff always there to coordinate your care needs. My personal fave is Jannee who is like a life raft on the phone. Terri and Diane are equally versed in patient recovery. THANK YOU Dr Timmerman and staff.

Dr Timmerman and her staff are exceptional in the osteo surgical business and know what they are doing. I trust my knees to no one else and have had excellent results twice. The whole team works to get you back on your feet quickly and they know how to navigate insurance policies effectively. There’s a reason multiple athletes have become former clients!

My shoulder was injured from wrestling in high school. It was to my throwing arm, which is a problem since baseball is my main sport. Local doctor treated the pain with cortisone shots that failed to work. College coach referred Dr. Timmerman. She quickly identified the cartilage was sheared off the bone. After surgery to reattach it felt a little tight, but that went away. Now it has been two years and the outcome is 100% perfect. Baseball, weightlifting, everything is GREAT!!

My experience with Dr. Timmerman has been positive from the beginning. Dr Timmerman is honest and matter of fact about options, pros and cons, outcomes and factors that may come into play. I appreciate her willingness to answer any and all questions. Her office made navigating the workers comp system significantly easier. Most importantly, Dr Timmerman is an outstanding surgeon. 8 months post-op and my knee is strong, stable and carries me on 10 mile hikes like a champ.

This was the 2nd surgery I had from Dr. Timmerman. The first was a complete elbow reconstruction ("Tommy John") and this was rotator cuff. The procedure was fully explained and performed as explained. I could not have hoped for a better experience.

6 Months ago I had the unfortunate experience to rupture my Achilles tendon. Dr. Timmerman diagnosed shortly after the injury and I had surgery the following day. I was prepared for a very long recovery including crutches, walking boot and knee scooter. The technique Dr. Timmerman used made for a recover far quicker than what I expected. My physical therapist was surprised at the speed of both my recovery and mobility. I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome.

I came to see Dr.Timmerman after i injured my right knee while sailing about a year ago, today i feel great! I had torn my meniscus and was in bad shape. I remembered the fantastic job she did on my left knee around 2005 (acl,pcl and meniscus damage!) and she was the first one i called. Today im back at work and after she worked on my knee i feel better than before. Id also like to mention the staff has been extremely helpful and informative.

We were referred to Dr. Timmerman as being an expert in her field of orthopedics after our son dislocated his elbow for the fifth time. She quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem and set a plan to correct the issue. Her skill at surgery allowed for a quick recovery along with her specific instruction post-surgery regarding rehabilitation. Her positive "bed-side manner" made us all comfortable asking questions both before and after the surgery. Her office staff is excellent!

After being told by another Dr. that I would have to live with the pain in my shoulder I was referred to Dr. Timmerman. Our initial conversation with Dr. Timmerman was amazing. She validated that I was in tremendous pain and confirmed that the injury could indeed be repaired. My hope was to be pain free and be able to golf again. Six months later, full range of motion, golfing with a full swing and sleeping on my left side for the first time in 2 years. She and her staff are simply amazing.

Dr Timmerman was "the second opinion" I had received for a shoulder problem. I'm sooo thankful that I had a friend that had suggested I speak with her also. The difference between the two was night & day. I can't tell you how much more comfortable I was with Dr Timmerman and her staff after the after the first meeting. Now a few months after the surgery my shoulder has healed extremely with absolutely no complications. My range of movement is already about 90% of what it should be already.

Dr. Timmerman was wonderful at helping me and allowing me to get back to volleyball as soon as possible with still getting me to feeling 95%. When I tore my ACL in Feburary I was in surgery by my spring break in March to play in September for high school volleyball. It has been a year later and I am cleared to no longer play with my brace. I am stronger then ever and cannot thank her enough for every thing.

I was misdiagnosed by a previous doctor, and decided to see Dr. Timmerman for a second opinion. She reviewed my MRI and immediately knew what to do. This was a fairly new procedure, but her confidence and experience made all the difference. I am now healed and working out again. Dr. Timmerman has also helped my son with his elbow when he was misdiagosed. So fortunate to have a surgeon with this caliber. Would highly recommend her to anyone.

I went to see Dr. Timmerman after seeing another orthopedist to get a proper diagnosis of my shoulder condition. Dr. Timmerman did a thorough exam and immediately identified my shoulder problem as frozen shoulder. She was able to give me a cortisone injection in the right place by using an ultrasound at the appointment. In just a few days my mobility improved and I started physical therapy after 10 days of the injection. I am back to my normal activities and pain free thanks to Dr. Timmerman.

I had previously seen two other doctors over a period of 6 months to try to alleviate my knee pain. I was within a month of having surgery with the first Dr and decided to get a 2nd opinion. The 2nd Dr. treated me with a steroid shot and sent me home. I was in severe pain and used a cane. A friend recommended Dr. Timmerman. In my first appt. I got my first shot of Orthovisc and literally skipped out! Dr. Timmerman is fabulous and a miracle maker! Thank you!!

Went in for a suspected torn rotator cuff. After x-rays and an MRI, surgery was promptly scheduled, with the option of non-surgical treatment given first. The surgery went smoothly - Dr Timmerman did an excellent job and her staff followed up the next day to make sure there were no complications.

I had two separate issues with my elbow. A muscle that was torn loose and a nerve impingement. Dr Timmerman had to perform surgery just above two different nerves, so the care of incision so that it did not scar excessively and further aggravate the nerves was crucial. She did a great job with both and I am pain free and gaining strength every day. I highly recommend her!!! I drove an hour to see her and it was worth it.

My 16 year old son was seen by Dr, Timmerman, who was absolutely amazing. She and her staff were very professional, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Timmerman was very patient with my son and explained my son's diagnosis to him in way that he easily understood what she said. I have recommended Dr. Timmerman to several of my friends who have had the same experience.

Dr. Timmerman is an excellent surgeon. She knew immediately that I had an ACL tear even before we had the MRI to confirm. Surgery went as planned and there were no complications. She is well-practiced in repairing this injury, performing several ACL surgeries a week. Her bedside manner is quick and to the point, not super empathetic but she knows her stuff. The anesthesiologist was excellent and explained everything to me in regards to the medications during surgery. The staff at Dr. Timmerman's office have been wonderful and are always very warm. Appointments usually start on time and are short. A year later I can sometimes forget that I had an injury at all and I am very grateful to have been put back together again.

Dr Laura listened to my concerns, diagnosed my issues and provided immediate solutions. I had been seen by another orthopedist for a year, who not only did not provide relief for my arm, but had horrible bedside manner. Dr Laura performed surgery on my elbow, which has healed beautifully. She was available at any time after surgery for my calls and answered any questions I continue to have. She also provided excellent recommendations for other doctors I needed. Love Dr. Timmerman and Highly recommend her!

After complications from 2 Patella Tendon surgeries, I went to Dr Timmerman and she fixed it without any other issues. She saw me quickly, expedited my MRI and scheduled my surgery within several days. The surgery and post operative recovery went smooth. Almost 3 months later, she just told me to go play golf, hike and ride my bike again! Dr Timmerman is a five star doctor!

I had to wait half hour to be seen, but it was worth the wait. I had extreme shoulder pain and had seen 1 other physician without relief. I have had pain for 6 months and nothing seemed to be helping, it was just getting worse. Dr. Timmerman diagnosed me with a frozen shoulder, she gave me a cortisone injection and I was better within 10 minutes. She explained that it would take time to regain my motion and helped me to get set up with a good therapist. I have a follow up appointment to see her if I am not improving, but I am so far very happy with my results. I would highly recommend her.

I initially started seeing Dr Timmerman after 2 years and 2 previous surgeries from another surgeon for ACL Reconstruction and Meniscus Tear Repair. I still had difficulties with limited range of motion involving both flexion and extension and considerable amount of pain. I didn't think that there was much that could be done at this point, given the extent of the scar tissue that had already set in and the subsequent damage that seemed irreversible. I was left to believe that this may be the new norm for me. After careful review, Dr Timmerman took my case. She proposed a 3rd surgery where she explained to me that the scar tissue can be re-addressed and the Meniscus can still be repaired. It has been five months since this 3rd surgery, and I can say I wish that I had gone to Dr Timmerman sooner. Although I still am not where I used to be before my accident, her expertise has made a difference. From diagnosis to pre and post op, she and her staff are appreciated and highly recommended.

I scheduled surgery for the second week in February and I felt better within the first 4 days. I was completely off the meds after the first week and within 3 weeks I had 80% better mobility than I had in weeks. I was back to 100% within 5 months. Dr. T is the absolute best.

Such a great experience to be able to talk about ALL options including ones not commonly known by other doctors. I can't imagine where I'd be had I not found Dr. Timmerman.

I am so pleased with the work she did for me I almost wish I had other body repairs needed. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and already have done so.
“Over the top excellent”

I went from constant pain to pain free after Dr. Timmerman operated on my shoulder. The follow up care and directions have strengthened my shoulder to almost a hundred percent mobility. Unbelievable.

Dr. Timmerman performed a meniscus tear surgery for me in 2012 and the results were outstanding. When I injured my knee again this year, I immediately reached out to her office for diagnosis and treatment. The team worked to fit me into their busy schedule in order to accommodate some upcoming travel plans I had. Everything from the precision and quality of medical procedures and care the the professional, people-first culture in the office, it's clear that not only is Dr. Timmerman's team the best at what they do, but they seem to keep getting better. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Working with Dr. Timmerman and her staff was a wonderful experience. She accurately diagnosed and repaired my elbow. Four months post surgery I am fully healed. Dr. Timmerman has a great bed side manner - she is warm and is willing to spend the time to answer all your questions pre and post surgery. The added bonus is that her front office staff and nurses are the best I have ever encountered.
“Highly recommend Dr. Timmerman”

Laura is fantastic. She was confident in her diagnosis after I had two other ortho surgeons hesitate to make the call for surgery. Procedure was speedy and surgery experience was as good as it gets. Recovery and followups were very pleasant and progress was measured and articulated so that I was always aware of next steps to get better. Recommended physical therapy was also A+.
“Ultra satisfied with result of surgery and bed side manner”

After seeing several doctors and never getting any answers, I found Dr. Timmerman. She promptly diagnosed my problem and told me how she could surgically fix my issue. I am now past surgery and in recovery, and so thankful that I am no longer in pain. I have recommended her to many family members and friends who are all just as thrilled with her talents as I am! A thousand thanks to Dr. Timmerman and her kind helpful staff.
“I finally found a doctor who listens.”

I came to Dr. Timmerman for the Regenokine treatment. I have some early arthritis and have had cortisone and lubricant injections, but nothing seem to help. I am still quite active and wanted to stay active hiking and doing other sports. I found Regenokine information online and then found out she is the only one in Northern California doing the treatments. I made an appointment and had some test done before I went. I then had the visit with her and she explained everything about the treatment. They drew some blood and started the treatments a couple of days later. I noticed improvement after the first couple of injections. It was a little sore after each injection but that was it, no down time. I have now completed the treatment and back hiking. My knee feels the best it has in years. I don't know how long it will last but was told 2-4 years. Anyway for me it was worth it. I had to pay cash, but for me it was definitely worth it.
“Excellent treatment.”

From the moment you walk in the door, the staff is efficient and welcoming. Dr. Timmerman respects your time. She is always prompt with her appointment times. She takes her time with you in the appointment. I never feel rushed. She listens to all my concerns, answers all questions and comes up with a plan I am comfortable with. My surgery was a breeze and the follow up appointment were like the others. I can not say enough wonderful things about her!

I had a badly damaged elbow with multiple tears including ligaments and nerve damage. Dr. Timmerman skillfully put my elbow back together and through the course of several surgeries gave me both motion and strength back to my right arm. I couldn't be more pleased.

Dr. Timmerman worked on athletes at UC Berkeley when I was a student athletic trainer back in the late 90's. I saw the work she did on athletes there and when it was time for me to have an orthopedic repair, I knew who to look for right away. I have felt well cared for by Dr. Timmerman and her office staff every step of the way through both of my surgical experiences. Dr. Timmerman and her team understand insurance, workers compensation and great medicine. As a professional firefighter I rely on my physical mobility and strength for everything I do. I truly appreciate the quality of service provided to me by Dr. T and her team!
“Awesome surgeon! Dr. Timmerman has repaired my PCL and my left shoulder!”
