Dr. Richard Allan Biama, MD

I’ve had many Doctors over my lifetime 8 surgeries and many broken bones. Dr Biama is by far my favorite Doc, from the moment I met him I knew I was in good hands. Dr Biama told me the very first visit that he would fix my bad hip and I would be good as new. That’s exactly what he did, before the surgery my hip would lock up. Some days I couldn’t even walk, the day after surgery I made a video. It was of me walking on my new hip with no walker or crutches!! It was incredible, a week later I went to the zoo and walked around all day pain free. Surgery was Aug 25th 2020 now I’m back at work walking all day, lifting over 100lbs everyday. I also riding bikes over 30 plus miles a few times a week with ZERO pain! Dr Biama is my hero he brought back my happiness and quality of life! ??

Excellent surgery & regained full use.

He performed my hip replacement surgery. He would an excellent addition to any hospital as a staff surgeon, performing orthopedic surgery. Continuation of care is not his strong suit. But if needed, I would want him to be called in to perform orthopedic surgery for me.

Go somewhere else. Don't waste your time. This office is so incompetent, they never call you back. Nobody knows what anybody else is doing. Total waste of time and energy. Good luck!

Always late! Could care less about patient and their time! Horrible!!!

Worst doctor EVER!!! He is the most unprofessional, discriminative and rude orthopedist and I encourage everybody to go somewhere else but here. After waiting for 4 hours (literally!!!) for this “doctor” to show up to my mothers appointment (she has been having severe pain with her right knee and she can hardly walk now), he refused to examine, diagnose and further test for her knee problem. As soon as he walked into the office and she mentioned needing an English/Spanish interpreter, he derogatorily threw her documents on the countertop and went to call a nurse who also had a terrible attitude. As soon as my mom told him where her knee was hurting, he asked her if she thought it was fair for the insurance company to pay $3000 for the exam JUST to find out if it’s a ligament problem and surgery was required. WTH!! Isn’t that what tests and exams are for?? To determine what the cause of a problem is and therefore diagnose the solution, instead of assuming things like this so called “doctor” did? And by the way, was this coming out of his pocket? He went on to saying that most likely that was a problem due to her age and asked if she was willing to go on the surgery room. Who goes on to diagnosing a problem without actual facts? I will file a complaint with IEHP and the Department of Health and Human Services following this review. Doctors are meant to save our lives and cure our sicknesses, not discriminate people for the language and deny treatment like this jerk just did, I’m sure he got a nice payment for this appointment visit anyway.

Smart as a whip. He has the usual surgeon's cockiness, but he will keep answering questions as long as a patient firmly persists. He replaced my knee and I could walk across the room without a walker in a week. Everything has healed perfectly. I'd go to him again anytime.

Dr. Via a was amazing when he put my albow back together, he was over and above the very best

Perhaps a bit unconventional for some but I insist on excellent. Very straightforward Dr. When it came to my Diagnosis and how to fix my rotator cup and shoulder. The most important is the recovery and listening to his instructions and following them without question and you will heal and do very well.

I appreciated his directness, and honesty.

Dr Biama is the best surgeon in Southern Ca!

No lack of self confidense with this guy. Looks a little like Bruce Willas. Soft spoken. He's going to fix a botched hip replacement done by another Dr. for me. So far I like the guy,

Awful dr! So rude. Did the wrong surgery on my 86 year old grandma. Hip replacment while her knee replacment was dislocated... every other dr. we have seen says we have a major negligence case against him. Do not go to this DR.

Dr, Biama is the best orthopedic surgeon I have met. I am a retired Nurse with 30 years experience and worked around doctors on a daily basis. Dr. Biama has excellent bedside manners . He spent a lot of time with my son and I to explain the procedure and recovery of my recent total knee replacement. My surgery had an excellent outcome. I feel extremely confident to recommend Dr. Biama to family and friends. He is simply the very Best .

He operated on my the top portion of my tibia, which was completely disintegrated due to a motorcycle accident. He was the one called in because of the severity of the injury. I was immediately at ease and confident due to the fact that he had done a previous knee surgery for me that went extremely well. He had to use cadaver bone, plates, and screws. I have every confidence in his skill as well as manner.

I had to write a letter to the board of medicine about my terrible experience with this evil man! The experience I had with him scared me for life! NEVER, I repeat, NEVER let this man be your doctor he is the meanest, rudest man alive

Hands down The WORST doctor in the HISTORY of doctors! Never go to this man people. He's unprofessional and very RUDE!! NEVER GO TO HIM

I had the best turn out with my knee arthroscopy Dr. Biama did. His gentleness during the procedure sure paid off with my recovery. Previously I had a knee scope by another physician in his practice which turned out very painful and recovery was not pleasant. I am now possibly needing another knee scope or total knee. I know I will be in good hands for whatever upcoming procedure I will need. Please ignore the judgements put on Dr. Biama, he is the most meticulous surgeon you would every want working on your knees, trust me he is the best.

I am 62yrs old and had my first surgery with Dr Biama in my 30s. I have had both shoulders and wrists operated on and never had a problem since. I would recommend him any day.

I waited post op for 2 hours. He is an awful surgeon rude and extremely arrogant. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE if you enjoy the privilege of walking.
