Dr. Lundy replaced my right knee on January 30, 2018. The knee was a disaster! I had a 30º knock-knee due to arthritis deterioration through the years. Everything I read and was told warned me to expect agony, discomfort, misery and irritation following the surgery. NONE OF THAT OCCURRED!! Let me reiterate: despite my terror and dismay, everything went smoothly and without real pain. Dr. Lundy refuses to assume the responsibility for such an extraordinary outcome, but it was his know-how and the competence of his team, which lead to the operation’s complete success. I am now scheduled for a knee replacement on my left knee in August.
Lana, Dr. Lundy’s assistant in the office, has certainly been as hospitable, friendly and obliging as one could hope to expect. She has played a substantial part in making this process as effortless as possible.

Three weeks ago Gordon Lundy replaced my right hip. He previously repaired my left clavicle after a gym accident and replaced both of my husband’s hips… so I feel qualifed to post this review.
He is a wonderful doctor and I can’t rave about him enough. He’s very skilled and talented (he kids that he’s more of a carpenter than a doctor, having to saw off the top of the femur, etc.), keeps up with all the latest techniques, is very accessible, has a sense of humor, and answered all of our questions.
Before my surgery I heard so much about the “anterior method” and was concerned that I was going to get the “old fashioned posterior method” for total hip replacement. We talked about this and he told me how much the posterior method has improved and that the outcome will be the same. So here I am after three weeks with a 9 mm (less than 3-inch scar), already walking unaided (although I take my hiking poles outside when I walk hills and steps, as a reminder to me that I’m still healing and to others to keep their kids and pets away.). I was discharged from the hospital after two days and on the day of discharge walked by myself up 44 steps with the aid of one crutch. Since them I’ve had magnificent home health care from a team at Carelink Home Health Services (I’ll post separately about them).
From the beginning I was in highly capable hands. Lana and the others in the office are so easy to work with, the nurses and other professionals at CPMC were wonderful. Kudos to Dr. Lundy for doing the excellent job he did. Just look at all the “5” ratings he has. I’d give him a “10” if I could.

I hurt my knee while skiing in Colorado. The office was able to squeeze me in for an appointment due to the urgent nature of the injury. Dr. Lundy is a fantastic doctor with a great bedside manner and thorough explanations. His office staff were very friendly and they addressed payment and logistics in a timely fashion.

Dr. Lundy is simply the most talented, personable and conscientious doctor I have met. I am a first time Yelper.
A surprising complication from an earlier knee surgery found me in Dr. Lundy’s office late on a Friday afternoon. He spent nearly an hour with me, and then called me throughout the weekend. A Sunday morning surgery didn’t phase him. His bedside manner, patience with my questions and knowledge/sharpness is fantastic.
If I could give Dr. Lundy 10 stars, I would. So many doctors are abrupt, impatient and distant….Dr. Lundy is the exact opposite.

I initially went to Dr. Lundy as a referral from my primary doctor to treat a torn Achillies tendon. Upon his diagnosis he recommend surgery and four days later I was under the knife. Dr. Lundy was very professional and as everyone else states, he has a great bed side manner. He would answer all my questions thouroughly and made me feel very comfortable during the whole process. I would highly recommend him to anyone. As great as you are, I hope I never have to see you again!!! At least professionally. : )

I LOVE Dr. Lundy! He’s very professional, knowledgeable, kind, great bed side manner, attentive, caring, personable, patient, and very funny! If I had a question of concern, anything that came up, I could call him on his cell phone or the office and would immediately be directed to him. I was very impressed how quickly I can get in touch with him and surprised to have his personal number to make that call at anytime. On 9/24/12, I had dislocated my right ankle, fractured heel, broken fibula, and tore ligaments playing softball from someone stepping on me when sliding to second base. I was referred to see Dr. Lundy on 9/26/12 and then he reviewed my xrays and said that I needed ankle ORIF surgery! I was then given clear explanation on what my options were and to be sure I will be comfortable with my decision to go in for surgery as it was the obvious choice due to how my bone was broken. He gave me more detailed information on what to expect and the entire process of the surgery and after. He also educated me on the procedure and explained both the pros and cons of healing. I felt really relaxed around him but of course naturally very nervous about the surgery. His front desk staff were very nice and always greeted me and knew my name. Lana was the one that assisted me most, and one time gave me some food because I mentioned I was hungry and waiting to eat lunch! Everyone there is so kind. I left the office with an appointment to go into surgery on that Friday, 9/28/12.
Surgery day came and everything went so well! Dr. Lundy made sure to check in on me before he left and also the next day he showed up in person to check in on me before I checked out of the hospital! I have never felt so cared for from a doctor! We had our next appointment set up to see him for a followup to remove my dressing and get a new cast. I went home with a plate and 9 screws in my right ankle! Within those few weeks, my scar healed up really nicely. Everyone at Physical Therapy and even friends of mine who worked at that same hospital said that I had a really nice scar and agreed Dr. Lundy is a great surgeon. My friends, a nurse and radiologist also worked with Dr. Lundy and gave great compliments about him. He’s wonderful to work with and a great doctor they say! Said that I’m in great hands!
I just graduated from Physical Therapy on Tue. 5/7/13! I can say that I now feel close to 100%! After about 7 months, I can now run! I am still in a healing process and progressing in my running progression program. I thank Dr. Lundy for the great job he did and his fun positive personality really topped it off to make my healing process even better. I am so happy to be back on my feet! This entire experience was not one bit uncomfortable for me. I go into every follow up with comfort and leave feeling even better. He is definitely the best doctor visits I’ve had!

I had often heard that hip replacements are relatively easy. When I first met Dr. Lundy I knew I would be in good hands. I had met with other surgeons, but to my disappointment I hadn’t felt seen. Dr. Lundy, however, spent a significant amount of time with me going over the condition of both of my hips and what the surgical procedure would entail. I was struck by how present and available he felt. Three weeks later I had a new hip which is a wonder. I experienced very little discomfort. In three months I will be returning to Dr. Lundy for my other hip replacement. In addition, Dr. Lundy’s staff reflects his care. Individuals behind the front desk step out into the waiting area to meet the needs of his patients. Tiffany, Dr. Lundy’s administrative assistant, made herself so available for a myriad of questions I had about preparing my home for my post op recovery. I so appreciated her support and encouragement. All in all I had a really good experience with Dr. Lundy and his staff.

I feel so fortunate that after my recent accident I was referred to Dr Lundy. I am a runner and I broke my patella (knee) while running across Van Ness and hit a construction sign and fell. Dr Lundy clearly cares about all his patients with the goal to get them back to normal. He and his team (specifically Tiffany) have been here for me to help with my care as well as help with my insurance and to refer me to other providers (PT etc.) to assist with my care due to my accident. I really appreciate the thorough care and that they have been here for me through this difficult and physically painful time. I highly recommend Dr Lundy and his team for any ortho needs. Thanks!

I had been suffering from leg, groin, and back pain for the past few years. As an avid tennis player, cyclist, and walker, this was starting to get in the way of my activity. After trying every type of body work, and spending thousands on physical therapy, Rolfing, massage, chiropractic services, and stretching routines, I was still in pain, especially after walking and playing sports. Finally I got an MRI. The first doctor I visited said “you’ve got severe osteoarthritis in your right hip, but your good for another ten years before you need surgery”. That was not going to work for this active guy. I did not like the idea of being in this kind of pain for another ten years. I certainly didn’t want to stop my sporting activities and walking. I paid a visit to my primary care doctor, who recommended Dr. Lundy, along with three other orthopedic surgeons, because several of his patients had good results. I met with Dr. Lundy, who spent 3 hours going over my MRI results, options for surgery, discussing my lifestyle and sporting activities, and giving me a complete list of what to expect with a hip replacement surgery. He was thorough, friendly, and always returned my calls when I had questions. My surgery went perfectly. I was up and walking the same day, and within a couple weeks, was back on the stationary bike, walking a mile, then two miles, then 5 miles by week four. I’m 5 weeks in and feel great (not playing tennis yet but that will come). His staff (Tiffany Clifford) were extremely friendly and helpful through the whole process. Tiffany helped me with my disability insurance and even took some of it home on the weekend to get it in on time. I highly recommend Dr. Lundy for a hip replacement surgery. This doc knows his stuff!
