Not respectful of patients time! Appt for 9am turned into 10:45 he’s still in surgery would you like to reschedule? 2appt 9:25 at 10:15 still mo one called back but 4 in front of us and it is 10:23, I’m sorry would you like to reach like to reschedule. No, not again my time is worth something also. All these people waiting to see him are in pain and to think that he is not mindful to this. Is he really the only doctor in Riverside. I will find out. Staff is respectful and always having to make excuses for him. Ugh! Very frustrated
Dr. Richard Biama just completed my total hip replacement. Dr. Biama is kind, professional and has the best bed side manner of any physician I have ever had the pleasure of having take care of my medical needs. Just a great experience from start to finish. Dr. Biama's surgical scheduler Tee handled all of my surgical process with kindness and treated me like I was family. You may have to wait to see Dr. Biama, HOWEVER HE IS WORTH THE WAIT!!! Nettie is his office is so kind and treated me with such kindness. If you have the option to have care with Dr. Biama you will not be disappointed. HE IS AMAZING.
Dr Biama did 4 joint surgeries on me in the early 1990’s , after many active years of life everything is great from his work, I can’t say enough good about Dr. Biama and the quality of his work, a great experience.
I am an 84 year old man and had severe damage to my right hip. Dr. Biama took great care to have my health completely checked out before surgery. Including Heart , chest and lungs. His very capable staff were wonderful helping me to get all the necessary pre op tests. Once approved for complete hip replacement surgery Dr. Biama scheduled it promptly and gave me very clear information on the procedure. Amazingly five hours after surgery the doctor came to recovery and took me by the arm and we walked 300 yards. I was released same day, now one week later I am walking 1/2mile everyday using only a cane. In my opinion I could not have had better care. Professional and caring. The entire staff are knowledgeable and caring.
I’m very pleased with the care I have received with Dr. Biama and his staff My hip replacement surgery was performed on May 17 2022 After an office a week before Dr. Biama shared with me the procedures and expectations. The fact that he said that I’d be walking right after surgery surprised me. Yes I was up and walking with the aid of walker and doing physical therapy. Released for home that day. I was moving comfortably with the aid of a cane. I had no hip or leg pain. It’s been a month and a few days since my surgery I’m mobile walking on my own and driving. Thank you Dr. Biama and your staff. M Flores
Years ago Dr. Biama replaced my right knee and with healing and weight loss, I am and have been extremely satisfied with his expert work. Now years later my left patella is gravitating slightly off and I will seek out his expertise once again. He came to me as a referral from a friend and I feel so fortunate to have had him as my surgeon. I trust him and simply cannot thank him enough for restoring my physicality so that I could become active again instead of remaining vegetative and obese. Thank you Sir!
Dr. Biama replaced my left knee in December of 2021. From my first visit, he was very informative about my situation. Up to, during and after the surgery he and his staff were very attentive. My total experience was great and I couldn't have had a better doctor. Thank you all!
I became a patient of Dr. Biama recently. I was in the worse shape ever, because my advanced osteoarthritis became even more severe within the last few months. Immediately, I was impressed with Dr. Biama because he cared about how I was suffering. Also, his expertise in his field was apparent. I knew from the start I was in good hands. Finally, I had my total hip replacement surgery on March 1st '22. I couldn't believe what an awesome job Dr. Biama did on the surgery. I recuperated within days! With absolutely NO pain. And, I was discharged from the rehab. center after a week and 3 days! People's heads are still spinning at home. Lol. Needless to say, my new hip is fantastic. I can stand up straight now, and I'm walking. Awesome!! I attribute this success to Dr. Biama (due to his knowledge, precision & experience). I would recommend Dr. Biama to my uncle if my uncle lived in Riverside County. Overall, I'd recommend Dr. Biama to anyone with advanced arthritis. Thank you so much!
Dr. Biama is an exceptional surgeon. He completed 2 hip replacements 15 years ago for me, with absolute perfection. 2 years ago I needed to have the liners replaced due to titanium product defect. My daughter made sure to seek out Dr. Biama for the procedures because she only trusts his expertise and exceptional knowledge with my orthopedic needs. My daughter even switched my insurance provider to ensure Dr. Biama would be my surgeon. Both my daughter and I appreciate his direct and honest approach. He will tell you what to expect and if you follow his instructions for recovery, you will be better than new in no time. I have received the best advice and care from Dr. Biama and his amazing nurse. Tee Watson. I thank God every day for both of them. If you are looking for the BEST, look no further than this team of caring experts.
Just saw Dr. Biama for hip pain. All of the years of motorcycle riding and hard work have caught up with me. Dr. Biama immediately stated I did not require surgery, yeah! He showed me exercises to help get some strength in my hip and suggested I take a few pounds off. Dr. Biama was the only physician I have seen that made sense to me. He took his time to explain why I felt like my hip is coming out of joint and reassured me that my condition is something that he often sees in patients my age. Amazing doctor, would highly recommend Dr. Biama.
