The worst attitude I have ever encountered from a DR. so arrogant, talks down to you, total GOD complex. Do not see this dr if you would like the privilege of walking. Left me waiting to see him POST op for 2 hrs. in his waiting room. NO CONSIDERATION.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!!! He was A RUDE, CONDESCENDING, UNEMPATHETIC, UNCOMPASSIONATE, UNPROFESSIONAL JERK!! During my consultation, he walked into the exam room without introducing himself, and saw I was still filling out the history form. I was on the last page of the form and told him I would just be a few minutes. He made a comment about me not being done with the form he needed, and left the room. Through the door I could hear him talking about me to his staff. Next, I could hear him move on to see another patient. In the meantime I finished the form in approx five minutes after he left me. After 20-25 minutes, I could hear him in the hall very rudely telling a patient he was cutting off her pain meds after she asked for a prescription. She sounded incredulous when asking what she was supposed to do about her pain. I did not hear his response, but thought he was coming in to see me next, and instead heard him ask the medical assistants if room 6 was next (I was in room 4). I waited approximately another thirty minutes, several times wondering why he had not checked back with me after seeing the first patient. I felt as if he was trying to get back at me for not having the form ready. Anyway, when he finally returned, he still didn't introduce himself. I was sitting in a chair, and he pantomimed (instead of just asking) for me to get on the exam table. I proceeded to lay on the table and again he pantomimed for me to sit up. He never asked for the form he supposedly needed from me, just began to tell me how I did not look like I had the problem I came to him for, and that if I did have the problem there was nothing that could be done to help me. When I began to tell him what another doctor said that could help, he shut me down by saying, "Are you going to keep talking or are you going to let me talk?" He repeated this rudeness two additional times, once after I tried to give him some background on my condition, and another after I revealed to him that I am an RN. I was so angry that tears came to my eyes while I was trying to keep from disrespecting him and myself by cursing him out. I was still quite angry when he asked me a question, therefore I could not immediately trust myself to answer. After a minute or two had passed, he told his medical assistant that he did not know what I wanted since I would not open my mouth and say anything.

As a nurse I have met my share of unprofessional doctors, but Dr. Biama is the most unprofessional of them all. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS!!

Dr. Biama definitely is the best surgeon in the state of California

I would recomend Dr Biama to anyone, anytime. Great Docter. Hoping he can replace my other knee before he retires. His personality may be alittle different, but he knows his stuff.

This doctor is one of the worse doctors I have ever come across He was not rude like many comments said, but he was so freaky, like he was on drugs. He seemed to know his work, but what you told him might as well be ignored, as his opinion only seemed to matter and he downplayed my injury to basically old age and wear and tear, when I'm not that old, and clearly my health problem was caused from something other than simple wear and tear. If I had something more serious I would never let this doctor do surgery on me. I will not return to this doctor, nor will I recommend him to anybody, or where he sometimes works, Arrowhead Orthopedics.

Best orthopedic surgeon you could ask for! Has been our doctor for about 20 years and treating my husband's many breaks and on of mine. Perfect recovery, even when the surgery was difficult. Total confidence and trust in Dr. Biama.

Dr. Biama lies to patients. Hides the fact that he sees cancer on the right kidney of patient, operates twice on shoulder, still did not repair the original breaks. Exposed patients body open tto the air. Which has been know to spread cancer. Dr. Biama was wrong and in not telling patient was he saw on MRI's and read what was written by the specialist. Doctors need to learn to listen to patients. Dr. Biams should not be allowed to operate on humans.

I would not let any surgeon operate on me besides Dr. Biama (Dr. Graham is a close second). He is a true professional and spends his vacation time in medical conferences learning new/better techniques. I've had a total left shoulder arthoplasty (joint replacement), a hip replacement, and numerous minor foot surgeries. This man's surgery work is comparable to an artist. Yeah, his bedside manner does need work but he is a great guy once you get to know him. I'd much rather have an extremely talented surgeon with an attitude working on me rather than a "nice guy" doing average surgery work. I know he is supposed to be retiring soon but I have one other surgery to done. Please do not retire quite yet, Dr. Biama.

This is a very capable surgeon with the worst bedside manor of any doctor I have ever met. He is arrogant and nasty, unreasonable and throws temper tantrums if it soots his mood. I don't care how good he is he is not without his share of post op complications. He does not listen to you he only expects you to bow down and treat him like the god he thinks he is. I would not recommend this guy.
